CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHIE IN THE USA
- Cinematic workshop discussions about an art form
in our day and age.
Justification for the rating
"Especially worthwhile":
The German Film and Media Rating Board primarily uses this highest rating to assess the film's particularly informative value. In this case the film has succeeded in documenting the specific individuality of fundamental representatives of modern American photography since the early 1950s. This refers to both their methods of working and personal means of expression, as well as to their overall attitude toward photo-graphy. The common denominators among them are the immediate way in which they capture everyday reality and their efforts to allow people and things to speak for themselves. For some, the matter at hand stands exclusively in the foreground; others strive to make reality transparent for subjects that common sense tells us is intangible.
In each case the film succeeds in depicting the artistic principle as shown in the photos once again in the way the photographers are characterized via words and footage. This occurs accompanied by a distinct 'feel' for each person's work atmosphere. The successful coupling of film footage and stills thereby proves to be an intriguing element.
Documented photographers: Robert Frank, Duane Michals, Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander, Thomas Roma, Alfred Stieglitz, Harry Callahan, Lisette Model, Ralph Gibson, Mark Cohen, Joel Meyerowitz, Stephen Shore

Yep, you likely would. I personally have very mixed feelings about Mark and Bruce Gilden's techniques, Gilden being far more aggressive and confrontational. Needless to say that these videos made in the 80s, the world was a very different place. I am much more a fan of Winogrand and Bresson's non-confrontational style of shooting.

@streetnuggets_ The rise of social media, internet, iphone... etc. Has made it a very real fear for some random guy to take a picture of you, the first thought is "where is he going to post that? Why did he take a picture of me?" Doing this in the '60s-90s was not as big of a deal as today, there might even be laws passed to stop this kind of street photography as some deem it unethical. I started doing street photography when I lived in the UK, but in my home in Spain, it's legal for me to be arrested for doing so.

Winogrand just plays with his camera like he has no idea what he's doing and looking beyond the guy. Check it out, it's really amazing to see them handle these kinds of situations to avoid confrontation.

As he mentioned, it's a privacy invasion. What makes it work is that it's ultimately harmless and victimless, neither of which would benefit from explanation if it came to that. I once attended an outdoor craft faire and took a quick image of products on a vendor table. Wow, was that ever a mistake. I was accused of wanting to use my image of their product to sell my own products, as if I couldn't take pictures of my OWN products. People are nutty. I felt like saying, "If you only knew how bad my images turn out, you would realize I'm no threat to you."
@GPTMagana 3 ай бұрын
In my opinion, these vendors might come across as a small business. Found in farmers, night, and flea markets. It's their copyright protection of their products, branding, mediums, and their logo that can get us sketchy. Especially if the vendor doesn't know the (male) street photographer. It's not your fault for not knowing their small business vendor at the craft fair or night markets. ps I do try to ask permission in a small town night market and farmer market when I want a more direct image of their vendor. While providing myself what I do in town and city making some pictures. I may not agree with asking permission if I intend of photographing like that Bloke Mark or Garry Winogrand. And even striking for street or time for print (TfP) portraits than a traditional form of street photography. Ergo, that no longer becomes the "Mark Cohen" approach.

Biggest problem with KZfaq is that every one can say his bin head opinion on something they don't understand, they don't understand the dynamic, don't understand the morality, the reasons, that are behind this intrusive act of photographing. The problem is not how intrusive you are to take a photo, is not the act of taking a photo is not that, that determines if is right or wrong to take a photo, you can be be irrespecutful and intrusive as hell also taking photo with 200mm like a stalker, maybe not in the act of taking the photo (or maybe yes) but in the moment you have that photo in your hands.. it's the photographer himself, as a person, that determine if it's right or wrong, his morality his reasons, snot the act of taking a photo. And it takes a long way to stop photographing other person just for the sake of it and just for personal exposure (That, is extremely unrespectful) and starting photographing and externalized representation of themself taking nothing from them, but creating something new out of the existing.

I think it's about the energy/approach of the photographer, and their confidence. Photographers who are confident in what they're doing are more likely to put people at ease. Photographers who are timid or self conscious are more likely to get an awkward reaction. But I think nowadays people are more concerned about being made fun of on social media, so are less tolerant to having their photo taken, whereas in the past, someone taking their picture might have left them bemused or even flattered. And everyone has different style and objectives but I think shooting from a distance with a long lens might get equally good or better results (depending on what you want) but doesn't look the same as being close. As for asking permission, I guess it depends on what you ask for and how you ask - but you could always try this approach: see how many times you can get rejected, and aim for rejection. It might actually get better results. Just my opinion.

The picture that he shows of the leg looks completely different from the picture that we watch him take. Where did the wall come from?The girl was wearing heels but in the picture, the foot looks like it's angled parallel to the ground?

can anyone guess what lens hes using the get so close on the leica? Maybe an old 21mm?
@CianMcsweeney 2 ай бұрын
He mentions in the video that he either uses a 21mm or 28mm, not clear what exact model, but I guess you could just look up what lenses Leica had available at those focal lengths in the 80's

Despite having a frankly invasive style, Cohen is not as annoying as Bruce Gilden.

Doesn't strike me as someone with any real empathy, others use similar techniques but do it in a much more human and empathetic way, actually engaging with their subject after they take the shot

***** I think you miss the fact that different people have different intentions with photography. While you might not think up close and personal shots of people you don't know are worth it, that doesn't mean somebody else doesn't. Why you might not "throw your morality out of the window for the sake of a picture" other people do and enjoy it. So to answer your question, Yes, I think a photograph up someone's nose or right in their face is worth scaring someone or making someone uneasy. It gives you unpredictable and exciting results, some positive and some negative. At the same time, I respect the way others use photography, street photography or even just street photography using the technique of invading space is not for everybody. I encourage you to learn how to respect other methods, even if you don't like them.

As you can see, people found his behavior strange. Now they find it offensive. Because everybody nowadays own their face. Like a product. They have no problem taking millions of selfies or be recorder by multiple CCTV everyday, but you, taking meaningless pictures of them, for pure fun or art? "Piss off!"

Well to be fair there's intentionality in your photo, and the issue usually is the person doesnt know what your intentions are.

Does anyone know what camera he's using/has used? I absolutely love his work and he's really inspired me to start taking pictures. I'm 16 and love the look of film cameras and especially his pictures so I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice on the cameras he uses or cheaper, similar alternatives?
@jamesyoyeezy 10 жыл бұрын
I'm gonna guess that it would probably be a Leica. They're pretty expensive. You could spend easily over a grand for one. Good though, supposedly.

Brandon Tilghman Thanks for that, definitely going to start looking. I'm also in New York, good luck in your photography :) jamesyoyeezy Yeah.. doesn't look like the Leica's gonna be happening for me any time soon hahah.

This was 1982. People were so chill. These days, he would get punched at least once a day he did that. Probably once a month, he'd need to buy a new camera, as some meat head would take it and smash it. :-(
