John Kenny
Tuareg Vision of Intensity by John Kenny. Portrait, C-type Print, Acrylic Mount

2009

About the Item

In January 2009 John Kenny went to the Festival of the Desert in Mali. The gathering of Tuareg musicians was, at the time, an annual event held in Essakane – about 100kms into the Sahara from Timbuktu, This striking Tuareg man was walking through the beautiful white sand dunes with his camels. He was on his way to join groups of Tuareg watching the setting sun from the top of the dunes and to join in preparations for the next days camel racing. The intensity of the man was at once obvious and has survived in his portrait. John Kenny’s work is all shot on location in some of the remotest corners of Africa. His images are all taken with natural light and his subjects in their day to day attire. The C-type prints are mounted with an acrylic face mount giving them a 3-dimensional appearance and a contemporary look.

Frame 245 x 185,6 x 6 cm (96 1/2 x 73 1/8 x 2 3/8 in.) Edition of 5; Ed. no. 5/5 (from a sold out edition) Albert Watson (*1942, Scotland) is a Scottish photographer well known for his fashion, celebrity, and art photography, having shot over 200 Vogue and 40 Rolling Stone covers since the mid-1970s. His photographs are signature, classical, and bold, and in our world of manipulation, Watson prefers the enlargers and the trays; an artist who greatly enriches our perception with his unique photographic view. Photo District News named Watson one of the 20 most influential photographers of all time, along with Richard Avedon and Irving Penn, among others. Watson shared intimate moments about shooting celebrities like Johnny Depp, 50 Cent and Clint Eastwood and dove into the history behind famous shots like the double exposure of Mick Jagger and the leopard that Watson shot by chance. "The leopard was all over Mick so we had to build a glass partition...
