Dad taught me not just to look at the world but to really see it': Ariel Meyerowitz's best phone picture
"As a child, Ariel Meyerowitz would follow her famous father around with a little Olympus XA camera and mimic his work as a photographer. Once home, he'd edit the images on a slide projector, inviting his daughter to sit alongside him. He loved having a little shadow, Meyerowitz recalls. Watching him click through the slides, I learned not just to look at the world but to really see it, to notice the relationship between people and place, the colour of everything,"
"His schedule is always jam-packed when he visits New York from his home in London, but he sets aside at least a day to go to galleries or museums with me, Meyerowitz, who is an art adviser, says. He's a captivating and eloquent speaker with a deep knowledge of both photography and art history. We always have a great exchange of commentary and opinions. Often we agree, but there are definitely times when we don't."
Ariel Meyerowitz followed her father with a small Olympus XA camera and mimicked his photographic practice. At home he edited images on a slide projector and invited her to sit alongside him, enjoying her presence as a 'little shadow.' She learned to look deeply, noticing relationships between people and place, colours, and emotional tones. Joel Meyerowitz is a renowned American photographer who also photographed his daughter at Ugo Rondinone's The Rainbow Body. He travels from London to New York, sets aside time to visit galleries with her, speaks eloquently about photography and art history, and they exchange opinions.
