Street photography combines the improvisational act of capturing life as hit happens combined with the nostalgia and visual aesthetic that's like no other style of photography. I haven't done one of these kinds of videos in a while so I thought it would be fun to do an overview of who I feel the essentials are for me.
Henri Cartier-Bresson, W. Eugene Smith, Robert Frank and Saul Leiter are all probably names you know. But how about Charles Nègre, Kamoinge, Ted Cronner, Louis Farurer?

I'm glad it's not another gear review of stuff I can't afford. More of this type of content please.

@catmonkey6826 3 жыл бұрын

Yes! Gear stuff is ok but unless it relates to your choice between video or stills or both and then also involves an eco system that's relevant to you it becomes mute. Our man has a huge wealth of knowledge that I feel is untapped. History, technique and both where they collide is what I get excited about.

My favorite videos of yours have lead this direction, and loved those. There’s just such a balance achieved w/ the direction of modern photography, and sifting through bygone, more or less, of the past artists. You’ve again enriched my evening.

I don't have 10, but I really admire Henry Cartier-Bresson, Fan Ho, & Helen Levitt. Especially Fan Ho because I grew up in Hong Kong. I like some of Robert Frank's work considering his place in photographic history. Not sure if you count Walker Evans as a street photographer but I like Evans too. By the way, some photos that you showed in La Strada were amazing. I wish I could get a hold of a copy.

Must have been one of the coolest places on earth to hang out at the time .Thanks Ted for intorducing me to so many talented photographers, keep up the noble work.

I love all your new content and your camera reviews. You give a different perspective as someone who actually taught photography, but I do really enjoy it when you take it back to the greats and share those classic images and why they were so important. I'm obsessed with street photography, but it wasn't until I saw your video on W. Eugene Smith that I realized just making a compelling image with some bokkeh isn't enough. You need a body of work to tell a complete story and you have to do it with passion. Keep doing what you do, but please continue sprinkling in stuff like this. Oh, and bring back the Pinterest boards in the vids if you can :) Thanks, Ted!

@xavierhudon-macdonald6918 3 жыл бұрын

Street photography is definitely the essence of photography itself, as it embodies the one crucial element of photography, observation. The controversy around Martin Parr’s colour work and his admission to Magnum could have been an interesting subject to discuss in this video-essay as his work has inspired the fashion photography scene a lot in the past decade. Street photography and observation is great practice for pretty much all genres of photography and other art forms. William Klein, who also lived in NYC as a pioneering street photographer, became a well known Vogue photographer. Vogue and Klein collaborated for over a decade in the mid-twentieth century.

Ted is also the guy that taught me all the stuff I've forgotten about composition. I need to rewatch so many things. I don't think I'll every be a great photographer, but every time I spend a few hours walking and intentionally practicing 1 specific form of composition, I feel a little more proud of my work. I need to get out and shoot more.

Ted has done videos on her on the past. He said back then she was a good photographer but not a great one (I'm paraphrasing). That was years ago...I wonder what his thoughts are now? I too find her inspiring. The thought of that much creativity hidden away resonates with me. Some detractors of hers say it's her story that people are fascinated by as opposed to her work...I say why do those two things need to be separate?

Thanks for the video. I've been considering studying more on the topic of these iconic street photographers, especially having already looked briefly into the work of Saul Leiter and subsequently having my mind blown by his talent, with colour especially you've mentioned here. Street photography has always seemed incredibly daunting to me, but even as a portrait photographer I believe a great deal can be learned from this school of photography. Thanks again and I hope you are well. God bless and stay safe. Brad
