Many Are Called

((Глянул я фоточки, из пальтА сделанные. Вполне забавно. Но, на любителя.

Вот думаю, это какая же была чувствительность пленки, чтобы в метро в 1938 снимать?

Одна из его ранних "халтурок" примечательна.
"Ночной дежурный в зале (географических) карт Общественной библиотеки".))

"В 1938 Эванс также сделал первые фотографии в нью-йоркском метро камерой, скрытой в его пальто[9]. Они были бы собраны в книгу, вышедшую в 1966 под названием «Многие Зовут.»

In 1938, Evans also took his first photographs in the New York City Subway with a camera hidden in his coat. These were collected in book form in 1966 under the title Many Are Called. In 1938 and 1939, Evans worked with and mentored Helen Levitt.

"Критика
Несмотря на широкое признание, художественный принцип Эванса часто подвергался критике. Его обвиняли в тенденциозности изображения Великой Депрессии и излишней драматизации жизни фермеров, которых Эванс снимал в рамках проекта фотодепартамента Администрации по защите фермерских хозяйств.

В своей книге «О фотографии» Сьюзан Зонтаг[10] обращала внимание на то, что кадры Эванса не были спонтанны: он многократно переснимал своих героев, фактически предлагая им позировать перед камерой[11]. Это ставит под сомнение статус его фотографий как документа.

He was born in St. Louis, Missouri to Jessie (née Crane) and Walker Evans.[3] His father was an advertising director. Walker was raised in an affluent environment; he spent his youth in Toledo, Ohio; Chicago; and New York City. He attended the Loomis Institute and Mercersburg Academy,[4] then graduated from Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts in 1922. He studied French literature for a year at Williams College, spending much of his time in the school's library, before dropping out.

He returned to New York and worked as a night attendant in the map room of the Public Library.[5] After spending a year in Paris in 1926, he returned to the United States to join a literary and art crowd in New York City.

"Walker collaborated on this project with writer and critic James Agee. Both of them studied subway passengers for three years. Walker’s role was to take the photos of the people in the subway, hiding away the camera in his buttonhole, and quietly took pictures of the passengers.

How he managed to stay undetected

Walker knew that he would need a solid plan to capture the raw vulnerability on people’s faces; the camera must be well-hidden. For that, he covered his 35-millimeter camera in such a way that the chrome, shiny parts were black and well hidden under his topcoat. Now, only the lens peeked out from between two buttons.

The photographer rigged the shutter with a cable release. He then attached the chord to his sleeve. The button landed into the palm of his hand. His palm remained in his pocket so that it would stay undetected. To go further unnoticed by the passengers, he thought someone must accompany him. For that, he asked his friend and fellow photographer Helen Levitt to join him on his subway rides.

600 photos in three years

Evans managed to get about 600 pictures in the three years while working on the project. However, Many Are Called took a liking among people at a plodding pace. Only more than 20 years later, in 1966, his now-iconic book was published. In that year, The Museum of Modern Art in New York decided to exhibit exemplary photographs by Evans and Agee.

Спасибо! Фантастика.
Наверное, за счет обработки вытягивали. Длинную выдержку он поставить не мог. Оптика тоже не была очень светосильной.

Ну, Ноктилюкса не было, но Тессары были те же, что и сейчас. In 1930, Ernst Wanderslab and Willy Merté from Zeiss developed Tessar lenses with apertures of f/3.5 and f/2.8 -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessar

with apertures of f/3.5 and f/2.8

Конечно, его спасало то, что снимал с очень близкого расстояния. Но, конечно, повторить таккое сейчас затруднительно. (Хотя 2 француза лет 15? тому назад, тайком сняли короткометражку в парижском метро.)
