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.

I liked Ian Howorth and Robert Clark. Clark gives me this nostalgic feel for places I have never actually been.

Robert Clark caught my eye because that is what I attempt to capture here in the Midwest Farm Country. The Church and Windmill would be photos I could see being in my den.

I a, subscribed to FRAMES Magazine. A great magazine, printed on the best paper and with great photographers. You explained it very well Alex.

Ian Howorth is a wonderful photographer. Certainly my favourite working at present.

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.

Wonderful video. The lighting, to m,e is reminiscent of the early master painters.

I’m a big fan of Tatsuo Suzuki. I had to go back and visit his work after this video. These are all really inspiring all around

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've been following Suzuki on IG for awhile, he is absolutely one of my favorites.

like Ian Howorth, like simple ideas too, informative 14mins.

Love the Afrikaans coming through! I am currently intrigued by Platon’s and Andy Gotts work respectively.

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."

Look at THAT color scheme all orange and cerulean blue 😍😍 and perfect light on your face,😄. Thanks for sharing love your videos!!

Always love your enthusiasm look

Many thanks for your sharing! Wonderful photos!

Alex, Great Talk, I submitted five photographs to Frames Magazine. There is hope in the air that someday My photos will get the "exposure" that others have.

Really happy I found this channel. A breath of fresh air. Great video. 😊

Loved Robert Clark

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! :)

Thank you all for watching - which of these photographers was your favourite? Or, if you didn't care for any of them - suggest a photographer in comments who uses light beautifully.

My favorite is Rita Long

Just went to Iceland this last summer and saw the church in Vik too. I got interesting pictures but want to try different things now after watching your videos.

Your language and presentation style is amazing. Stunningly so

You made me discovered the magazine Frames! Thanks a lot! i've just subcribed

our comments at 9:45 sum up what I fell watching your videos!

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.

The Tattoo shop image had it all for me, I have taken photos of many reflections but not at night.

Alex I enjoy so much your videos! It opens my horizon in photography and inspire me to be better photographer !

That is a really well curated set of images. I enjoyed seeing the way those image makers see. The image as art form is alive and well.

Excellent food for thought

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.

I played the light meter game where I would try to guess the Fstop for ISO400 I think it was inspired by Roberto Valenzuela

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!

Great sweater by the way 😊

Thanks so much for this. Love your passion and insights. Brilliant choice of images celebrating light by ‘new’ photographers.

Thank you Alex. I loved the examples you showed us and I liked Rita Long very much. ❤❤❤❤ Great teaching video again. 😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍

I am so glad that I came across your channel, I love your videos!!

Some extraordinary photography. Ideas to challenge the mind. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. 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.

Hi Alex, another great and inspiring video. Thank you. Many years ago I subscribed to Pentax Family magazine for a while, totally inspirational photography. The copies were lost in one of our many moves. Frames looks like a very interesting option. I really love the Ian Howorth Tattoo. The Rita Long images are fantastic.

Very educational…and inspirational! Thanks

Another excellent Video Alex. Thanks!

Do you have or ever go on Flickr? I would love to see more of your work and things that you admire. I love the channel and watch you several times per week!

My favorite photographer is Ian Howorth. Thanks for the video - great as always.

thanks for your sharing

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?

And no one knows what "it looks kak" mean. Love it...

The first photographs of the reflections, how did the photographer NOT get shown in the photo from the angle it was shot at? Most reflection photos show the photographer and camera.

Check out Michael Kistler’s work. I have 2 of his works hanging on my wall.

Mr Alex Kilby, Wow I just love your channel. Your content is so full of rich concepts and ideas to help us photographers develop. As a consequence I have just joined Frames Magazine and note you will soon be joining them. Thank you so much. I can’t thank you enough and thirsty for more (greedy me). Just dissecting at 8:31 backlit piece of ice cleverly superimposed on to a seascape? Is deception credible?

I turned my ankle at the Black Sand Beach (Reynisdrangar) nearby and sought medical attention in the town of Vik 😂

Great presentation

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.

Thank you. Love the tattoo image. All the best. 👍📷😎

After seeing that puddle photo with the tattoo parlor, I wondered if anyone carries a bucket of water to create their ow custom puddles where desired.

Thank you, Alex. Really enjoyed Ian Howorth. And, would love to see an exploration of the work of Abert Watson.

I always like your videos! Unfortunatly some of your titles are a bit uninviting. This one is great because it is a bit more quiet like a good photo :)

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.

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?

0:55 wait. did you mean you got a copyright strike for using suzuki's photos?

did you say: it looks KAK?? 😁🤣😂
