One of the things I love most about your channel, Alex, is that you introduce us to "lesser-known" photographers whose work gives pause for thought. Tatsuo Suzuki is my favourite from this episode - such intriguingly layered imagery. Thank you.

@frankstyburski814 Жыл бұрын

Agreed! There are so many excellent photographers tat you will never hear about anywhere else. FRAMES, excepted. We usually compare the work of others to that of the established masters, but you would think that they not only defined their genre, but own it.- when there are so many other photographers who have uniques voices and deserve to have their work considered on its own terms. Thanks to you and FRAMES for doing that.

Simple idea - Vik, Iceland - been there twice and on both ocassions the weather had been camera wreckingly bad (but the food in one of the tiny restaurants was excellent). Evenso, ignoring the thought of food, I pulled the camera out and reminded myself of the simple idea to capture the intangibles - not the static objects. The place was full of atmospheric light - which acted more like a process in action than a thing. Did focussing on the barely atmosphere work? Remarkably, yes. I came away with an image that worked for me - happy with that - and registered another memorable memory.

I enjoy listening to your channel. Many times its the elementary things that are overlooked. It has never occurred to me to breakdown my favorite photo and use those concepts to improve my own work. I have always thought I needed to have a similar view and conditions. I have been a fan of Robert Clark for a while, and his ability to capture light is brilliant. His motto is, "Always look for the Light. That is where the story lies."

Lovely photography and insightful commentary! My two-cents-worth: try using the Zone System for metering; it will force you to recognize the different lights (luminescence) and elements in a scene. Will also slow you down, sometimes a good thing in photography.

Might be only me but I think this channel helps us slow down and view photography for what it truly is. In a time where it almost always seems so competitive, everyone trying to outdo the next person in my opinion; I have learned a lot from this channel and it’s opened my eyes and my lens lol to new ideas for future shoots. I love the community that is gradually being created and the appreciation for lesser known artists

I'm with you on Ian Howorths neon sign puddle reflection photo Alex, I love it. These are the kinds of things that catch my eye when I'm out and about and historically I'd take a quick shot of this cool reflection and move on to make sure I didn't miss something cooler somewhere else. But, I'm learning a lot about my own creative process right now and your insights are helping me a lot! Instead of rushing to find the next cool picture that I might miss, I'm finding myself getting excited to slow down and spend some time with whatever the "twinkle" was that caught my eye in the first place and thinking about creating a photograph, with more intention. Thanks & good luck at the wedding! :)

Now, I am not a street photographer, nor do I like 90% of what I see presented as street photography, but if I did have the money I wouldn't hesitate one moment to pay and buy Walker Evans's Saratoga Springs 1931, NY Photograph. I actually have a poster of that photograph, which goes quite nicely with my Ansel Adams Posters.

Maybe gear helps more if you are taking pictures to capture a moment more so than to create stunning art. Then it helps you get beautiful and clear images even if you don't get to control exactly what the light looks like at that moment.

@lisajoseph5817 Жыл бұрын

You've reminded me that I've got to go out and shoot some neon again. I've done it with point-and-shoot cameras but haven't done it with my DSLR yet. The Tatsuo Suzuki stuff is interesting, but there's something gentle about Rita Long's botanical pieces that's very appealing. I CAN'T DECIDE!!!! I like the Roger Guetta works you showed too. At the risk of blathering idiotically, last month I did a whirlwind road trip to the mountains - King's Canyon and Sequoia National Parks with a final pass through Yosemite. I came home, went through what I'd shot and frankly, it left me cold. (Some of this is probably exhaustion - I was doing all my own driving on very challenging roads while at the same time trying to look for opportunities to shoot interesting things.) I threw a few up on my social media thinking "Ugh, boring vacation pictures," even though friends were saying nice things about my bog-standard shot of Tunnel View. I stumbled upon your channel at a time when I needed to. Looking at other photos reminded me of things I like or want to try. Today some of the images from "Frames" actually reminded me of some things I've shot in the past and lately I've been feeling like I'm on the right track. I was even on the right track last month, I just wasn't seeing it. My camera has been with me every weekend. I'm having interesting 'failures', some shots that I'm happy to mess around with as I try to learn more advanced editing skills and once, last weekend, a shot of the branches of a Japanese maple that came out of my camera and looked so perfect I didn't do a thing to it. Thanks for the content, as always!

Honestly, I don't see anything special in the "Tattoo" image by Mr. Howorth. It's nice that he noticed the reflection in the puddle. The colors are striking, but for my taste there needs to be something more in an image for it to be memorable. Then again, some people think Malevich's Black Square is a work of genius. So, what do I know?

Some of these reflection images by Tatsuo look like double-exposures, to me. Especially, the one at 1:51. Hmm, this might be an interesting idea for portraits: Super-imposing portraits over mundane scenes from life.

I struggle with work like Robert Clark. Yes, it's beautiful...but it's edited to death...making images that are very far removed from what they actually looked like. I mean...many photographers have simply become EDITORS versus photographers. I found Ian Howorth's work very inspiring! And I very much appreciate and respect his versatility.

The church in Vik sits on a hill overlooking the city. The church is iconic Iceland and cries out to be photographed. Unfortunately for me, the first time I was there it had construction materials around it and the second trip it always had cars parked around it. Clark's photo is a real treasure with perfect lighting and cloud cover. BTW - Question, what is the pin you wear on the right side of your shirt or sweater?
