“The All Blacks” rugby team by Peter Bush of New Zealand. From Photograph Magazine.
By Paul Goldfinger, multi-media editor @Blogfinger.
Peter Bush, of New Zealand, is a most unusual professional photographer having spent his entire career photographing one sport and one team, the All Blacks, a legendary rugby team. His photographs, taken on and off the field document a sport that makes our professional football teams appear puny.
He is now 88 years old. Most of his work was done in black and white, a style that is so dramatic and full of emotion, that his own color work is ordinary by comparison. I know nothing about rugby, a sport that barely has made a showing in the US, but Bush’s images speak for themselves in all their powerful grandeur.
A gallery showing of Bush’s All Black work is now in progress at Anastasia Photo. 143 Ludlow Street, NYC. 9/19-11/23/19
