I think it is beyond critical to have these discussions on the art of photography. There is one other channel I follow for this reason. Way too much effort is spent worrying about gear and not enough on using light and creating/capturing emotion. I really appreciate your thoughts on these photographers and I am working my way through your videos. edit: His thoughts behind The Family of Man mirror my own experiences. Thank you for this.

"The Family of Man" is absolutely amazing. I have tears in my eyes every time I look at these pictures. I am quite fortunate to have the catalogue of this exhibition (thanks to my wife's friend). What is so interesting with these pictures is that the feeling of many of them is so much more important than the technical perfection. Plenty of them are shaken or misfocused but as a whole they create this moving and deeply human constellation. Thank you Alex for this video.

I love Steichen for his pictorial style, but clear, sharp photography like Ansel Adam's has its appeal as well. IMHO, what matters most is what a picture evokes in its viewers. Each photographer has his or her own style. It is up to the photographer to find that style and be true to self.

@shyamalganguly3598 2 жыл бұрын

It's a great feeling knowing a brief detour to the life of the great photographer!! It was the era when they had photographs on emulsions and they spent a lot of their time in life in dark room to chemical processing of the desired effects they needed ultimately!! The maneuvers and approach to photographs for the then creators was subject to hand crafts rather than machines, today's digitised versions of photographic results is someway difficult to be able to get to the hand crafted chemistry and in some cases, I believe, impossible to achieve the similar results digitally!! But still today's speed of transformation under deft capabilities one can have it almost done what they want ultimately!! But artists are born and they always will and with both sides film and digitised available photography will always fascinate us with speed, accuracy, and maneuvers to produce timeless images in future eras also!! Compare the frequency of master pieces then to now and had the yesteryears photographers had the same speed of production we would have much more of their classics in our hands!! That is we always lack a shortage of classical photos for want of something that isn't available at the point of time and this pushes the boundaries of innovative production of equipments a far reaching target because it too is ever changing and going beyond every time as ever!!

I'm just catching up to this video in your catalogue. I enjoy both "clean" and "atmospheric/pictorial" images, and I've shot both depending on the subject. Towards the latter style, I've dabbled in ICM, long exposure, and Orton Effect post-processing. More and more over the last year, I'm using varying post-processing techniques to create mood and atmosphere. I'm very much a work in progress, but as a former painter I like working my images to create a feel, rather than just photographic reportage.

Great insight into more unconventional outlook on what makes a great photography. With more fuzzy photography, perhaps the overall concept is to let the viewer finish the picture to his liking with the help of his own imagination. For instance with painters, a good example could be that of Edward Hopper who leaves something unachieved in his paintings, with some undefined expectancy that various commenters qualified with such words as insoluble enigma and many other concepts, Others said there ara as many Hopper as viewers of his artwork. Once more, many thanks for re-awakening the real matter at the root of good photography that gives full swing to imagination !

We are bombarded with tack sharp photo images and they begin to get tiresome. I suppose this might be what inspired the lensbaby movement where people wanted to get away from all of that, but that said, they aren't quite Pictorialism. I love the pictorialists. I try to process like that. I look for ways to shoot like that. OK, that said, let me say something about you.... you are phenomenal and I thank you for your channel. You are the art teacher I had when I was young - the one who made me think, not the one I wanted to copy. Goodness, who would want to copy, but there is so much of that now, as well.

Adams comment is easily understandable as a reflection of the dichotomy between the zeitgeists of New York and the environmental Western US at the time and I'm inclined to nod in agreement. I was a music student in the late 60s early 70s in Texas and we were totally convinced that NY was the most parochially insular town in the whole US as regards classical and jazz ("if it's not in New York t's not worth paying attention to") and while I wasn't into the academics of that sphere of photography at the time, I can see Adams making that comment regarding a "commercial" photographer getting that curatorial position.

First, thanks for your videos. They are informative & interesting. I thoroughly enjoy them. In response to your question about pictorialist vs digital photography I tend to think digital is like a photocopier i.e. same camera & lens combo produce fairly predictable results. When images are brought into a computer they can produce pretty amazing results. The only problem is that software proficiency determines the outcome and photography takes a back seat. So is photography real or is some sort of computer generated digital presentation or maybe it is a case of ‘s/he who has the best preset collection wins’? I like convenience of digital SLR’s. I also like authenticity so I try not to over process my images. I also bought a number of older pre digital lenses that I use on an older DSLR. I’m not looking for the sharpest image or the one with 100 megapixels. Instead I’m looking for what In can produce with a 12 megapixel DSLR, 30-40 year old lenses and minimal photo processing. These lenses are also excellent for IR photography. For sport photography its very difficult if not impossible to go past digital. I really admire sports film photographers. No second chances for them while digital just cranks them out to the maximum output of the camera being used.

I really enjoyed this video - thank you -- and I must admit I am a huge fan of the pictorialist aesthetic. I think it's important to remember that the "clean, digital look" way predates modern digital sensors, and arose with photographers like Adams and the other f.64 crowd, who explicitly rejected pictorialism in favour of the sharp, "straight" aesthetic, and that kind of continues to today. But I think that no matter what the fashion, there will always be a latent "photo-secession" who use photographic imaging in a less "straight" / realistic way - whether they are using pocket 110 cameras, or 100MP Hasselblads to do it. Thanks again - I really look forward to more videos in this series.

Thanks for the comment Hal. Yes, I suppose there are many parallels to be drawn between today's obsession with pixel peeping in certain quarters and 'peak sharpness' and group f64. Perhaps it's because one can quantify these things easier than a photograph taken in a pictorialist style? Glad your enjoying the series and look forward to sharing more with you.

@ThePhotographicEye 3 жыл бұрын

The clean and smooth look to his fashion work is down to the larger negatives, better lenses and improved film stocks. Nothing quite like a lovely print from a well exposed large format negative.
