Magnum 75 #4 by Carolyn Drake. Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. 2008

The Magnum 75 collection is the inaugural NFT collection by Magnum Photos. Created in 2022, the collection brings together works by 76 photographers taken across seven decades. 

Each drop will be curated in dialogue with three leading picture editors from across the globe and selected to embody the agency’s past, present, and future. This collection release coincides with the agency’s 75th celebrations and its Annual General Meeting in New York. 

The first collection has been curated by Alejandro Cartagena, co-founder of Obscura.

Alejandro Cartagena said: "To look into Magnum’s vast archive is to look into the evolving history of photography as a language. For this selection, which marks the first steps of the agency into yet another horizon for photography with the emergence of blockchain technology, I decided to focus on the ingredients that make certain images stand out from the rest – the elements that all photographers should be aiming for. These 76 images celebrate not only the endurance of Magnum Photos but the quality that has made this longevity possible."

SKETCHING THE SOUTHWEST

To me, aerial imagery of desert textures isn’t just a photo, it’s a philosophy. 

A remedy to my happiness, 
a pivotal moment when the shutter clicks,  
a rush of pride fills my heart,  
my addiction to the desert textures comes alive.

I capture the moments before the sun kisses the desert, 
thousands of years of erosion,  
to create these trophy-like landscapes,  
perceiving a beauty of textures that’s never been told.

Golden and blue hour, a moment in time, 
where my art thrives. 
Beautiful moments, 
created as the light begins to fade, 
depth appears in the desert features where light is not,  
this transition of time paints the desert with soft light, 
as the direct sunlight escapes, 
color begins to explode, 
which enables my ability to create meaningful art. 

I capture with my heart, I capture with intention,  
so that my art remains forever, for all to enjoy.

Sketching The Southwest is my latest body of work that features drone imagery that begins with a black and white edit, followed by painting in the color where I felt helps bring the imagery to life. By isolating the focal point of the image with bright and vivid colors, the image pops off the screen with the aid of the black and white edit adjacent to the color. Each image inside this collection has a distinct uniqueness to most aerial photography on the blockchain

Look up to the sky. It is a vast ocean of light. Let it open and wash over you. Let it fill you, let it become you. This is the Sky Well.

Sky Well

Untangle your mind, find space and stillness. Release your grasp on the material world and become translucent. This is the opening.

Reality shifts to shroud you with light. Atoms woven together across dimensions outline your spirit. You embody this space as you embody the cosmos. You are held by the wholeness of life.
