STREET PHOTOGRAPHY - MARC RIBOUD IN JAPAN

Рет қаралды 5,414

Жыл бұрын

In episode three of SHOW & TELL, MARC RIBOUD IN JAPAN, writer and photographer Stephen Leslie looks at one of his favourite photos by the great French photographer Marc Riboud and uses this as a springboard to discuss various concepts such as photographic overload, self reflexive photography and talking utter bullshit while fabricating a little known yet chilling story of photographic revenge from a posse of angry, famous Japanese photographers.
Taking in images by Riboud, Bob Collins, Martin Parr, David Solomons, Jeff Mermelstein and others, this episode is a fascinating, insightful and eventually completely preposterous look at the story behind an iconic photograph.
Please subscribe to the channel and Stephen will continue doing these films as he seeks to focus on photography content and not just which new or old camera to buy.
For more of Stephen's photography please visit his website: www.stephenleslie.co.uk/ or his Instagram: / step_hen_le. . or sign up for the mailing list for his new book, MOSTLY FALSE REPORTS: tinyurl.com/6uyy3vsf Or just feel free to send him money.

It's getting harder and harder to find a KZfaq photography video lasting more than 10 minutes that one doesn't skip through or just stop watching before it finishes, but this one had me wishing it went on longer.

Thanks very much. Unfortunately the longer they last the longer it takes me to make them! Next one might be very short….

Lovely. I bought a signed silver gelatin print by Riboud in the early 1990's from Mother Jones Fund for Documentary Photography and a silver gelatin print by Sebastio Salgado which the man personally inscribed for me once over a beer. as I recall the prints cost me about 2 weeks worth of wages but why pay your rent when you can support Documentary photography and get something rare and special printed by hand in a wet darkroom rather than spit out by inkjet. The print of Riboud's you may ask. Beijing 1965 of street scene framed from inside of a store looking out. You used it in this episode. Thank you Stephen, I look forward to your channel and have enjoyed everyone I watched. BTW you look good in a beret mate :)

@stephenlesliephoto Жыл бұрын

That’s a great print to own, Riboud knew what he was doing. Although I don’t think I have ever knowingly worn a beret??? Wigs, yes and other types of hat but a beret??

Another great one. Sebastiao Salgado at some later date? If for no other reason that his series on miners jumped in front of my eyes as I first saw Riboud’s composition. Hardly street photography, I realize….

A marvellous Riboud/Japan photo on Facebook led me here and I''m very glad it did! WIll now watch all your other brilliant vids. PS the photo at 4:15 isn't Karuizawa - it's the famous giant Buddha in Kamakura. But I notice you don't let the truth get in the way of a good story. Carry on! (wotta carry-on)!

Very interesting angle on photography there Stephen . Thank you ...and you're right about telling lies !! as one of those photos of Riboud in his later years was in China not Japan l and also Zhang Yimou -the famous Director of Raise the Red Lantern and Heros etc. was there with him....thought it's worth a mention.

@stephenlesliephoto Жыл бұрын

Well spotted Alan, although I think I said that the Japanese photographers chased poor Riboud all around the world, hounding him wherever he went. So it's perfectly possible they could have pursued him to China when he was with Zhang Yimou too! Or maybe not? Glad you enjoyed it.
