关于美国摄影师、摄影记者及电影制作人露丝·奥尔金的完美入门指南。

露丝·奥尔金（1921-1985）一直梦想成为一名电影制作人，尽管这一抱负直到她职业生涯的后期才得以实现，但她很快就找到了其他方式涉足影像世界。她十岁时得到了第一台相机，到了十七岁，她骑着自行车穿越美国，从洛杉矶到纽约，用带有注释的照片相册记录下了她的旅程。20世纪40年代初，她在纽约定居，加入了摄影联盟，并为《生活》、《看》和《本周》等主要杂志拍摄照片故事而崭露头角。

奥尔金的摄影作品涵盖从名人肖像到她公寓窗户俯瞰的鸟瞰图，从嬉戏的孩童到独自一人在意大利旅行的美国游客的体验，她的作品总是保留着一种电影般的时光流逝感，并让她拍摄对象的人性光辉和魅力得以彰显。

The perfect primer on American photographer, photojournalist and filmmaker Ruth Orkin.

Ruth Orkin (1921-85) always dreamed of becoming a filmmaker, and although that ambition was thwarted until later in her career, she quickly found other ways of engaging with the world of images. She was given her first camera at the age of ten and by the age of seventeen, she was cycling across America from Los Angeles to New York, documenting her trip in albums of annotated photographs. In the early 1940s she settled in New York, joining the Photo League and making her name with photo stories for major magazines such as Life, Look and This Week.

In images that range from celebrity portraits to bird’s-eye views from her apartment window, from children at play to the experiences of a lone American tourist in Italy, Orkin’s photography always retains a cinematic sense of the passage of time and allows the humanity and charisma of her subjects to shine through.
