Alexey Titarenko is a renowned Russian photographer known for his distinctive style and powerful imagery. Born in 1962 in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), Titarenko has made significant contributions to the world of fine art photography. Here are some career highlights:
Photographic Style: Titarenko is recognized for his long-exposure black and white photographs, often capturing urban landscapes and city life. His images often convey a sense of movement, time, and the human experience within the context of urban environments.
Series: One of his most famous series is "City of Shadows," created during the turbulent period of the 1990s in St. Petersburg. This series documents the city's decaying architecture and explores the psychological impact of living in a rapidly changing society.
Exhibitions and Recognition: Titarenko's work has been exhibited worldwide, including in prestigious venues such as the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. His photographs have garnered critical acclaim and have been widely published in books, magazines, and art journals.

1:33-1:40 🤯 Wow, what a photograph & what an explanation!! I had seen Alexeys photographs before randomly when I was far younger (teen), but didn’t remember his name….his photos stood with me though. How amazing to now know the photographer! Also, what great videos & photos you yourself have. I get easily distracted, and sometimes have a hard time following videos that are longer than 2-3 minutes….but you make the videos so easy to follow and understand, while explaining things that can be complex!

Now I roll, shoot, develop and scan all of my film from home and I absolutely love the experience! Thank you for introducing me to my new hobby! Do you have any good reccomendations for where to find photographers to look at? I'd never heard of Alexei Titarenko before today.

Always ask first before taking photos in underground system. It was a target many times and keeping the camera and the tripod next to the traction where people can knock it off its always a risk.

Hi Frederik. I love the way in which you learn about and educate us in the styles and techniques of other photographers. I have asked before, but would you consider looking at the work of Jane Bown, who worked at the Observer for around 60 years as a portrait photographer, armed with nothing other than an Olympus OM-1, Tri-X and natural light? Thanks.

Very interesting way of photography and well produced video. Thanks. You mentioned taking photos with the intervalometer. Is it to get different moments of time or to blend the photos afterwards - as 15x2s instead of 1x30s?

Wondering if you could use a Gorilla grip in place of the large tripod? Or even a heavy bean bag to prop up your camera on a ledge or railing. Solid video and subject btw

@tomislavmiletic_ 11 ай бұрын

1) SVEMA - almost correct pronunciation 😉 2) For long exposures gorillapod could help. Course it's small and unobtrusive and you don't block the flow of the people. 3) If gorillapod is no option, than a MONOPOD combined with a camera that has the IBIS should give you exposures longer than 2 seconds...

What if you adjust the camera strap at a certain height from your neck, stand still and you can use the fuji app on the phone as the viewfinder to frame the photo, stand still and use the app as a remote shutter button, that way you don't draw attention to yourself with the tripod
