Noah Kalina

Pendant 6 ans Noah Kalina s'est pris en photo tous les jours de sa vie, 2356 jours exactement, du 11 janvier 2000 au 31 juillet 2006.
A ce jour 129215877 personnes ont vu cette vidéo. Etant moi même sur Flickr j'ai récemment découvert que ce même Noah Kalina avait un compte flickr et qu'il faisait partit des mes contacts, je n'avait absolument pas fait le rapprochement, n'ayant d'oeil que pour ses photos.

Voici l'extrait d'un article sur les 5 plus grands photographe du net écrit en anglais, avec une partie qui lui est consacré. 

You know Noah Kalina. If you don’t, it’s because you missed his“everyday” video, which he published in August 2006 as the viral video craze was taking off on YouTube.

The clip, called “Noah takes a photo of himself every day for 6 years,” has been watched millions of times on YouTube. It has been imitated and satirized countless times, even on “The Simpsons.”

Kalina started the project, of course, before YouTube existed, and worked on it as a student at the School of Visual Arts. Today Kalina shoots still photography professionally; his work has appeared in magazines such as New York and Interview.

Yet despite years of popularity, the YouTube video hasn’t been great for assignments. “It obviously gave me name recognition and Internet fame,” Kalina says. But it never led directly to work.

However, Kalina has fared well by promoting his photography on his 
Flickr account. “Flickr has probably gotten me more work than my regular Web site has,” Kalina says.

Kalina has learned a few lessons on how to make the most of Flickr. He discovered he was happier with the comments disabled (“I found the comments would be distracting”) and noticed that his work featuring female nudity always got a lot of views.

“I’m certainly guilty of pandering,” he says. “You sort of realize what people will go for, which is boobs and girls.”

He may be underselling himself. Kalina’s pictures, boobs or otherwise, are imaginative and unique.

His Flickr pictures routinely get thousands of views. Some editors have found him through Flickr and given him assignments, including a shoot for I.D. magazine. “Younger art directors are scouring that site looking for good work,” Kalina says.
