Vivian Meier - The discovery of a photographer

28/7/2014

Vivian Maier worked all her life as a children’s nanny. In her spare time she would go into the city armed with her camera. Between 1950 and 1990 she took thousands of street photographs, mostly in black and white, later also in colour. It was only after her death at the age of 83, that her photographic work was discovered. The exhibition at the Saint-Pieters Abbey in Gent showcases a selection of the work of Vivian Maier - Ghent, Belgium

About Me

I just like to take pictures, I just push the button. I never worked in the darkroom, I never studied photography or journalism; I’m just a passionate photographer.

For a long time I used to take pictures - like so many of us - to capture memories of family holidays and events. Over time I’ve found that experiences are deepened and one notices things more intensely by thinking visually. I came to enjoy the quality of light, amazing reflections, geometrical forms and colours. Ever since, I have been determined to take my skills to the next level. I also want to share my work with a much larger audience, because I truly believe that the only way to keep feeding one’s inspiration, creativity, and ultimately getting better at what one is passionate about, is to invite others to critique my work.

"Success is the ability to go from failure to failure, without a loss of enthusiasm”
Sir Winston Churchill

Therefore, I Am A Believer Of "All Critiques Are Valid". Thank You!
