Meditation has been an incredible tool in helping me to be present which positively affects to how I work. I do read, watch other people’s work, social issues documentaries have been a great source of inspiration too. Conversations with fellow creatives also play a key role in my creative inspiration. Thank you once again for making thought provoking videos while also sharing a photographer’s work :)

I had never heard of this gentleman before, so thanks for the introduction. He seems to be one of the very few street photographers, who has mastered the art of the ' decisive moment '. Quite a complex relationship of the elements whithin his photographs with respect to the photograph, perhaps not so to each other. As for the introductory track, what can I say? A classic by America. I remember that I made a cassette of America's songs in the early 70s when I was an A level student in the UK, and took it back with me for the summer break when I went back home for a couple of months. Memories of a different era, a differnt country.

Thanks for all these insights into photographers I haven’t come across before. For inspiration and development I am turning more to non-photographic artworks, unconstrained by a reproductive interpretation of the visual world but revelling in graphic shapes and interesting colour palettes. The work by Alex Webb you show here could very much have been derived from such sources which is why I could relate to it so well; having said that it is more what I would aspire to than actually achieve!

Alex Webb's color photography is a challenge for me; the caustic contrasts are what I imagine musical dissonance would render as. That said, I loved the review in this video. To stretch my understanding of photography and my own interest, I've developed the habit of going to the local libraries in towns I visit while traveling for work with my wife and reading a few of their photography books. I take my journal and write about what I see, like or dislike, how I feel about the work. Something about the writing helps me dig deeper. Last book was an early edition of Robert Frank's "The Americans".

🔥🔥🔥🔥 He's one of my favorite photogs. 👍 In literature the meaning of the word "tenor" is ... "Whenever we use figurative language, we're describing one thing by relating it to another thing. The two most common words to describe those two things being compared are vehicles and tenors. The tenor is the thing being described. The vehicle is the figurative language you use to describe it." ... "Some common synonyms of tenor are current, drift, tendency, and trend. While all these words mean "movement in a particular direction," tenor stresses a clearly perceptible direction and a continuous, undeviating course." Good stuff! Keep it up!✌☮

I've never researched old famous photographers at all, because I worry about imitation, and for me photography is more about meditation. I like Alex Webb now. His colour work looks a whole lot like what I like to produce and think about when out and about making street, documentary, and travel images. I thought I was alone in my colour philosophy since what I see most is very muted styles from other people on social platforms - and I've even had my style referred to as amateur for liking vibrant images, shooting in chaotically colourful blue hour over the muted bronze of golden hour, even though I've been shooting for almost a decade, half of that time with a camera in hand every single day. This was a nice video to pop up in my recommendations. I won't worry so much about looking amateur now that I can point to Alex Webb. ✌️

Thank you for this great introduction to Alex Webb, one of my all time favourite photographers. The compilation of images is also great, a mix of his well-known and some rarely seen photos. Two things that I would like to add, though: His creative and personal partnership with Rebecca Norris-Webb is very inspiring and a key factor to his more recent projects. And also poetry is a big inspiration for both of them, which can be seen on the couple's Instagram account. Right now, picture number 3 in this video can be bought as a print in Magnum's square sale - a nice opportunity, think I'll get one.

"Tenor" in medieval music was a kind of leading vocal part, which functions like a core for all the elements of the polyphonic texture to swirl around one another. I don't know if Webb was aware of that meaning, but if he was it could mean finding the universal inner sense that brings the multilayers of an image into one cohesive whole. Thank you for the great content!

I'm gonna get heavy. Hopefully it will make sense. Here goes... Well, watching videos like yours is part of my personal growth. For me, because photography is, for almost 11 years now, a central part of my life, my exploration of the art form we love is part of my broader spiritual/mindful growth, since, to me, the opening up of my view and sense of self (as part of a greater universal oneness) feeds my growth as a photographer, which feeds my spiritual/mindful growth and around and around. They are part of the same, really. The older I get, the more I enjoy learning, balancing what I knew with what I am learning, all while keeping an open mind/soul. Photography, even much of my architectural abstract and plant abstract photography, which is a usually solitary process, led me (and still does) to making contact with other photographers and becoming part of a fluid group of people that all love photography, even as we each do it in very different ways. Eventually, I also got into doing street photography and portraiture a lot more and now find I love the interactions, the WTFness of it all. So, yeah, personal growth, exploration, with a heavy dose of humor and spiritual awe and my ongoing learning the technical and aesthetic elements of photography, learning to fold what I learn into what I know? It all makes my soul soar. Once again, thank you for making me think. There was more I thought about while watching this. One thing I will mention: I love how in a couple of the photos you shared, Webb splits the visual plane in half, which is supposedly a big no-no, but he does it right. I especially love the very first photo, with the dark, thick wood post right in the middle, and the person behind it, pointing to the left. So much going on. I love his saturated colors. Thank you.

fantastic intro... Looked up the song and added it to my list. Ok, as far as personal growth and expanding on my photography... I don't get to do it as much as I want. at night I watch videos like this to improve and see what other folks are doing. I've been involved in photography since the Mid 90s in High School. I consider myself a super hobbyist... one thing I have learned is, by watching other folks, following their work it helps me start to see the world like them, in a way... in a similar way, when you hang out with friends and you start to think like them or even laugh like them. but I also try to keep a camera with me as much as possible. I also like to go back and review my own work, see my progress or even see if I can spark an new idea.... anyways that's my two cents. Great vid, I look forward to more. Thanks for the input and insight.

Hello! I believe that a photographer depends very much on where he is and what he can photograph. Beautiful things are easy to photograph and this is a fashion photo for example. Someone lives on the shore of a beautiful or forest, and then it's beautiful landscapes. Each photo reflects the path of the photographer as a person. What catches his eye, as a memory and as his personal history. So I completely agree with you that personal growth is very important! It was a look into his own soul that led Alex Webb's to the place where he found colors and peace, after a long black and white streak in photography. Personally, I am interested in a portrait of a person as an image, something literary. Like an actor playing a role. Which is actually what we do every day :) I keep a personal diary . And I model those situations that I can then illustrate with the help of photography. The more difficult the task, the more interesting the photo. Thanks for the interesting video! I look forward to seeing you again.

What are you doing drinking Crudweiser in the UK? Nah, just kidding. Those cameras are kinda cool. I try to balance both color and black and white in my photography. I think I tend to be a bit more serious with black and white. The last roll of color that I shot was Ektar. What do you think of that film? It sucks that Kodak seems to be out of stock everywhere and the prices are way up. Another good and informative video, T. He's got some really good snaps with great composition in there.

I liked your description of the "internal music" of a photograph. I was trying to describe something quite like that in my comment about your latest video on Saul Leiter. Anyhow, I think you nailed that. A few things I've been doing the last few years. My street photography has fallen off the map (unfortunately), but I've been doing more simple light studies and macro photography. Also, I have been going through David Ulrich's fantastic book "Zen Camera: Creative Awakening with a Daily Practice in Photography," which I think touches on much of the philosophical process of really seeing the world. It has some good exercises, as well. I genuinely recommend the book to anyone using photography for art as a reflection of their life. Anyhow, those are a few things I'm doing to improve lately. As always, keep up the great work.

His work is all about his ‘response’ to the world like you said, but for you to not simply acknowledge him as a street photographer is strange to me… He has set the bar for what street photography quite literally is. Just say it like it is: Alex Webb is a street photographer. It’s an important distinction to be made and allows the viewers of his work to understand what cloth he is cut from. His work doesn’t exist in his “own unique category,” he quite literally sits at the top of the category: street photography.

Isn’t everyone’s personal photography our response to the world? 🤷🏻‍♂️ You’re putting the emphasis on “Street Photography”. But this term is meaningless. It is for me the stupidest term in photography. It’s a term that can be anything. And if it’s anything then it’s nothing at all. Alex Webb pretty much said you can define it as whatever you want. Oh and he said that “street photography can be done on the street but also not on the street”. 😅 He also said his photography is “between documentary and fine art”. So why are you defining it for him? 🤷🏻‍♂️ See how we get nowhere with this dumb term? Who came up with it anyway? Seems like just a marketing term to me. I have a better idea. It’s just photography. Let’s not put stupid labels on it.

Hey Brianna, I appreciate your opinion, I didn’t mean to be disrespectful towards his work, he himself is quoted saying this: “I have always felt that a lot of the most interesting work, not just mine but other people’s, falls into [the] nether area, somewhere between the worlds of documentary and photojournalism (two very vague words) and the world of art. I think a lot of street photography falls into this nether area.” I agree with his view here this nether area and the idea of these words being vague. I understand it might not resonate with everyone but it’s also my view which I respectfully put out in my videos, otherwise they won’t be my videos but a copy of other people’s opinions and views. Do we really need labels in this cases - it’s just a question, food for thought. So I’ll say it in ways that makes us think about things and makes us open to new angles and possibilities. Thank you so much for watching!

Im sorry to burden anyone with this comment and no one is obligated to reply. For a while now photography has become a great source of sadness for me. Ive been shooting for close to 20 years and doing "street" for about 5 years. Im average and gotten some above average shots, but once i discovered photographers like alex webb, i spiraled out of control, mentally. I have such a drive for photography but my skills do no come close to matching that drive. I just want to be really great at it and cant understanding the brains and skills of photographers like alex webb. I just dont have the eye for these moment's and compositions. I obsess over it almost all day and night and it has stolen the fun and joy out of photography for me. Im just sad and numb all the time. I just yearn to be really good. It was the same with skateboarding when i was younger. I gave it my all but only ever reached average skill level. The truth i am facing at 36 years old is that this hobby ive spent so much time trying to personally succeed in, is that i just dont have what it takes. I can feel the love of photography in me dying. Its been such a part of me that i will feel like nothing if it completely dies. Theres nothing i or anyone can do. Im just not good at it. Thanks for letting me rant. Again, you dont have to respond. Its probably impossible to even try.

Oh, you just oversaturated by photography and your eyes is tired from imageries and photographs. Don’t say “it’s over” to your hobby if you really like it. Just take a time to relax from it

You have to take picture in front of the people, I think Webb doesn't have fear of take the photo in front of people, maybe use a small camera, Webb use rangefinders but they are expensive, maybe a Ricoh GR IIIX

Don’t compare yourself to anyone. Focus on the proces, not the result. If you try to take pictures like Alex Webb, you will always be disapointed. But if you try to find your own voice in photography, you will create unique pictures that don’t compare to anyone else.
