"one feels a little more tethered to the world." thats it mate! thats a big part of why his work keeps lingering in my mind and is a constant source of inspiration for my own portraiture.
Thanks Graeme, another insightful and enjoyable bite sized review of a great photographer. A few points really chimed with me in your review of his approach etc
Thanks for another great video, Graeme. I'm working my way through them all and enjoying your insight into all these notable photographers. The best photography channel on TH-cam and the only one I now follow!
THANK YOU GRAEME! Great video ❤ Timeless, intimate, hypnotic… those are images of Steinmetz. And it is worth mentioning that his life partner (wife?) is Irina Rozovsky who is known for her wonderful work IN PLAIN AIR. Sadly I don’t own a single book of any of these great photographers… yet
You've got to save that pocket money! Thanks for pointing out the Irina Rozovsky connection. I have also had to slow down on my book buying. There is nothing better than pulling a book from one's library and lying down on the couch to take it all in.
Fantastic images. As you say, such understated examinations of introspection - of others and one's self. That he manages this with animals and humans is very unusual and all the more profound (and raises Steinmetz in my estimation immeasurably). As ever, thank you so much for bringing this work to a wider audience and providing us with laid back, cogent education. For some reason I need to examine, I love the dog and shed at 8.32...
interesting profile, thanks for sharing Graeme, Mark Steinmetz's work and style takes some getting in to, that relaxed, at peace, "realism" is something we don't see a lot of 🙏
Reminds me somewhat of Rinko Kawauchi. Would be cool to hear your thoughts on her work at some point. As for Steinmetz's getting to create in a world of safety and ennui...not sure any of us will get that luxury for a while.
0:10 That phone in the middle of nowhere is hilarious for some reason. Who left it there, and why? It's like finding a pair of high heels shoes deep in the forrest. Actually that one is a bit scary.
did you even notice there is underpants every where you go?? on the street in the fields..everywhere.. what are people doing to lose all this underwear?
whoa.. equal parts Bill Owens, Larry Clark and Mary Ellen Mark - sprinkled with Sally Mann and Robert Frank.... now this is street photography.. not the collections of the backs of peoples heads I mostly see, with nothing going on or reason to even push the shutter button. At least street photographers should turn around and get the front of people - maybe they are too scared
Once again you have provided me with my weekly fix! Thank you.
Thanks Jim
I admire how you analyze each photographer's work and articulate its finer details in such a relatable way. 🙏
Thanks you ...much appreciated.
My fav photographer !! Thanks! I really enjoyed 🙏🏻💫
Again. Excellent.
Wow. Amazing photos. Thanks for helping me discover another photographic master.
Thanks Henry

Many thanks Glad you liked it.

Great thanks.
Thanks for that - his photos and comments are so down to earth.
Thank you an intresting photographer

Hi James Yes, you might some professional help uncovering this particular fascination with 8.32!!
Very nice edit of his photographs. Born: 1961, a mere 63 years young.
Exactly...just a young man.
Wonderful
Thanks for the video. Much appreciated.

Yes, you have to remember to breathe

Sadly, I think that you are right. I got tired of all the Kawauchi imitators, but perhaps I should take another look.

@@blueboy4244 Now that you mention it there is a surprising amount of panties laying around 🤣
Funny - it makes one think!
Yes, the high heels would be a little worrying.
Thanks. If I had heard of hi , it was only marginally, Hoppy for the deep dive. He should be better known.
why do we have to wade through GRAEME's bio?
I didn't wade through Graeme's bio. Was I supposed to?
Is this a "bite sized review" or a "deep dive"?
Mmm perhaps a deep bite-sized review
