The following titles added to my shopping cart for consideration: Joyce Tenneson: Transformations Selected Works by Vincent Peters Mary Allen Mark: Encounters (upcoming publication in December) Doesn’t mean they will all get purchased, but they are under consideration. :-) One of the things I appreciate about this channel is how you show the work of female photographers. Even though I am one, I find that the work I end up studying for hours in the evening is almost always done by men. The work of women just isn’t as famous or as likely to come to my attention unless it is done by Annie Liebowitz. Yet I feel like our voice in photography is subtly different from men’s voices. So it’s useful to see. Not to mention that it encourages me and gives me “I can do it” vibes.

Loved this! There's so very little of this on YT that really gets into the work of greats. Inspiring and informative, thank you Alex! Please more of this

There seems to be, from my perspective, such a marked difference between Peters' B&W and Colour images, that they could be from two different photographers. Thanks for introducing me to these two new names.

Thank you Alex- another great video which, like many of your others, has raised my curiosity level to 10 to find out more about the photographers you highlighted in this episode.

Hi Alex, thanks for taking us on a journey with these great photographer's. I found the photo from Mary Ellen Mark of the bald man with the beetle on his head very original. The Vincent Peters photos were so clear it's like your in the same room as the people in the photo, and right in front of you. Joyce Tenneson really put in a lot of hard work in her photos to look that nice and artistic. Great video thank you. 😃

That last photo of Hoffman and Olivier was HILARIOUS

Joyce Tenneson is a favorite of mine. For reasons I can't explain years ago I passed on buying her early image of Suzanne leaning forward in a chair.

Thank you Alex for making a great video. I'm always thrilled to see great photographers' images. Hope you introduce us more great photographers' work. Cheers!

Joyce Tennison's soft focus looks like what happens when, on micro four-thirds, I use my vintage m39 canon 50mm that has a fungus! Cool!😊

great video informative photography content.

As always, great info!

Thanks this is very informative

I loved the Vincent Peters and MEM images. The Tennyson images not so much as they rely on the "pre-photography" setup for impact. For me, photographs are made in the camera and darkroom (wet or electronic), not hair, makeup and costume. My two bob's worth!! 😄 Thanks again, Alex.

Joyce Tennyson was also shooting on Large format Polaroid film... Which gives another look and feel to the image...

Thank you Alex🙏

I also want to decode cinematic artists

As you're probably aware, as well as being an amazing actor/director, Hopper was of course a brilliant photographer/painter in his own right and every bit as troubled as his expression in that photo indicates. If you've yet to make a video on him, he'd make a great subject.

.. as a German Biologist - with Smart Phones we are flooded Tsunamied with Billions of pictures and videos - that destroy any sense of resonance. We develop an Allergy against pictures - so they must increase the Dosis like any Drug Addiction… I made in 1984 slides with Kodak 200 at the Niagara Falls. You can Hear the Water screaming at you - so breath taking. Who does this today???? I lost my motivation to take my Nikon D 7000 with me - … And the world drowns in Junk End times…

I wish you had stressed that "soft focus" and "out of focus" are not the same thing...

what a good question, you ask, "what exactly is the intangible in a photographer's images that resonates with us so much? Maybe it could be asked, what is it in us that resonates so much with a photographer's image? Damm your videos make me think. Ouch.
