A lesson from Garry Winogrand: "Putting four edges around a set of facts changes those facts."

- "I photograph to see what life looks like photographed" is the quote we all know, but WHY and WHAT does a photograph say once that moment is removed from reality and put onto silver? A short dive into thinking about how putting things into the context of a photograph changes their meaning, and what and why we put things into the frame.

Wow great video and wow you have serious photographic skill. Really stands out compared to the average TH-cam photography channel.
Winogrand really speaks to me, the way he describes photography and the photographic experience, especially the notion of the "experience of the moment" is just right !
The image of the house in "Iowa" was a revelation. Thank you for introducing me to Nancy Rexroth. And to the intriguing theme: "you inexplicably change the facts with the frame." I'm now looking through my body of work from this point of view. Fascinating what one finds. Well presented.
Iowa is such an incredible body of work! Always happy to hear others find and appreciate her work! Thanks for watching
This was cool. Love your photos as well!
Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks for that: enjoyed the content and the style!
Great video
Subscribed.
Hope to see many more videos on your channel in 2024.
My design mentor was an advertising creative director back in the real ‘mad men’ era. He was a friend of Garry (and also, more so, Elliot Erwitt!). Garry came to him, looking for some work as a photographer. My boss said, “Garry, you know I can’t hire you-the negs will all come back with snot on them.”
Incredible! 😂
gary defines the snap shot elevated to Art
I had Gary for 2 semesters at SVA in nyc and learned what still photography is Thank you for your photo scholarship
Black cats are NOT bad luck traditionally. That was a very modern invention. Black cats were especially prized on ships because they tend to be particularly good at hunting rats below decks on ships and were considered a good omen for the voyage.
I really enjoyed this video. Subbed.
Can’t wait to see more of your videos.
Only 1 thing. I’d lower the the music 3-6db. Cool tracks though.
Great photographer.
“Putting four edges around a set of facts changes those facts.”, what does the ‘second’ facts mean?
It's still referring to the first instance of "facts" but it means that by making a photo of a scene, lets say a man jumping over a puddle, you have removed that scene from the context of the world and the moment when it was happening. It is now a photograph which can be re-contextualized and take on a different meaning or reading depending on what items of events are in the frame, what the photograph is displayed beside in a gallery, or how it is sequenced in a book. Or even as time passes, the photograph of a man jumping over a puddle can be read differently with hindsight of when it was made versus how things are in the world now.
@@aestheticcontrol Ahh… gotcha! I see. I appreciate your thorough explanation though.
That does remind me of an image of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s ‘rising work’ or the piece of work that made him famous. I’ve forgotten the title.
@@aestheticcontrol This’s such a beautiful and brilliant idea 💡 from what he had said or meant. 👍🏻
That’ll make me rethink what I should put inside that four edges… haha 😛
