Stalker changed my view of what films can be, I wish there were more films like it and that people wanted such things.
💯
It makes the film that much more of a treasure.
Make one
Wow, same! ❤
Tarr and Tarkovsky are my favourite filmmakers. Similar, yet very different.
I had the chance to see “Stalker” and loved the cinematography of it. Tarkovsky, both on movie film and Polaroid, had a unique vision that was ahead of its time. As a Polaroid shooter, I am glad you gave us the opportunity to see Tarkovsky’s images. Thanks for sharing Tatiana!
This is a blast from the past. There was a time when polaroids were more popular than cell phone photography. People use them capture their time at some picnic, a day at the beach or road trip. Professional photographers who use medium format or view cameras, had polaroid backs to preview them for the correct exposure, then made their corrections before inserting film holder into the camera. Mr. Tarkovsky's film clips are exceptional, he was incredible visual artist both with film and his polaroids. I wonder what his work would have been like today. Keep up the fine work.
Wow, some of those pictures have a truly chilling quality to them.
My dad and I watched stalker together as I recommended us watch something unique. I saw the value innit, he didn’t as much. The plot was confusing, but one thing he confess is that he payed attention the whole time.
I think in an Andrei Tarvkovsky's film is impossible to get anything if you're not fully committed to watch, in my opinion :)
That’s the more valuable than anything, attention. Even when you’re not understood you’re heard. Nice dad (:
There’s something about the photos of film-makers. The altered colours of the Polaroids definitely add to the mood of the photos but light and composition and the intimate nature of the subjects, whether they are of inanimate or living subjects, often lift them above being ordinary snapshots. I think smartphones are great for this way of capturing life as it happens. Probably people think that digital is too clinically perfect to have the same resonance but i think it depends on your approach and intention. Or maybe just use a filter lol.
Been waiting for this one as I knew it eventually had to come. Superb work, my friend! Lovely presentation and selected images. Tonino Guerra once said, “Tarkovsky thought a lot about the “flight” of time and wanted to do only one thing: to stop it - even if only for a moment, on the pictures of a Polaroid camera.” I think you expanded on this really nicely.
Thank you so much for watching my friend, appreciate your words you know that, and yes I read that quote from Tonino and it resonated with me, all the best John!
I´m totally impressed by these photos. Pure art. Thank you so much, Tatiana
Thank you so much for watching!
Great video! Stalker is one of my all time favorites (as is the recent Alex Garland movie Annihilation that was surely inspired by it) and I'll have to get my hands on this book at some point. Isn't it ironic that he was able to capture these timeless and universal images with such "instant" technology? He surely could have shot these with pretty much any camera and they would have been gorgeous, that's the mark of a true artist. The two portraits of his dog Dak are my favorites, as they contain elements that I strive for in my photos: gorgeous light, a hazy soft look, stellar composition, minimalism, and a subdued, monochromatic color palette. Very inspiring!
That's what I mean, the irony of the timelessness being captured with something so instant and immediate! My all time favourite of his would probably be Andrei Rublev because it touches so much about the art of seeing, the important of spirituality but certainly Stalker is probably second or third in my list :)
Im a polaroid nut. Somehow I missed that Tarkovsky shot polaroids. These are so beautiful, wow.
wow was also what I kept saying when I found out about them, the printed book is even more interesting because you get to see them better and up close, a great experience!
Great video Tatiana, I never heard of Takovsky and his work until now and am impressed by his polaroids and your words describing them. Very well done!
Thank you so much Rich! Appreciate you and glad you enjoyed his work, as always thank you for watching and leaving your thoughts!
Polaroid prints, instant nostalgia.
Dear Tatiana, if you not mind, check Gueorgui Pinkhassov, he was reporter photographer in set of Stalker
wow I just checked his work, what an amazing photographer!
@@TatianaHopper yup, if iam correct his first photographer in Magnum from Ussr. If you interested, here is his interview with en subtitles th-cam.com/video/ZuopICTRW_w/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for another fine video! I come for the photography but I really like discovering filmmakers along the way! Now I have more films to watch along with new perspectives for taking snaps. Ta very much.
Thank you so much! :)
I love this quick but informative video about art 🎨 amazing channel
Thank you!
Always feeding and triggering our curiosity, thanks Tatiana 🙂
Always Nico! Thank you for watching :)
This is redundant but another wonderful video. I have been using the Snapshot 4x5 camera with Fuji instant wide & it has been a very interesting experience.
Totally different than digital.
Damn that got me thinking! Definitely something I need to try out!
I knew of his movies, but not of his camera work. Thank you for sharing your topic and his photos.
Fantastic video as always👍
A very interesting video, thanks!
Visiting Bango Vignoni was an emotional experience I'll not forget. Tarkovsky's film and photos were in my mind.
Thank you Mike!
“T”!!!! You are an amazing wealth of knowledge for me at least!!! I’ve never watched a video from you that wasn’t entertaining as well as educational!!!! They make me want to sharpen up my game!!! Thanks!!!!
Thank you so much Terry! Really inspirational your words, I'm going to keep going with the videos and content, all the best my friend!
Thanks! Andrey Tarkovsky is my favorite director. I even took a pseudonym from his movie. You have very interesting programs . Good luck to you and all your viewers.
Thank you so much, appreciate it and good luck to you too!
wooow i love Tarkovsky and this polaroid book, i live in Tuscany not far from Bagnovignoni
thanks for the great video. i really really love tarkovsky's aesthetics.
that being said the colors on tarkovsky's movies and photos are so stunning in my opinion. his and theo angelopoulos work has similarities in colors, them being soft but rich and not super sharp and popping if you know what i mean.
i've just been starting photography and was wondering if it would be possible to achieve those type of colors with digital cameras or is it a film thing 🤔
Thanks!
Thank you!
Damn the film developing formulas back then were so damn clear, I would love to shoot a pack of unexpired 80s polaroid film on my Onestep+
You and I Bailey!
Tatiana! While I love your short videos, I feel like there’s room in your channel to create longer form content. Your subjects alone deserve a bit more attention I find and your analysis is very interesting.
All the best
:-)
How about a podcast? I for sure could waffle a lot more in that type of platform and for sure would love too :)
I appreciate the observations as presented subjectively, avoiding absolutes with a "perhaps" or "it is possible... " as any profile demands. What cannot be known remains a question and "perhaps" is the offer of interpretation. Very well presented.
Thank you Rick!
Большое спасибо за видео, не знал что есть такая прекрасная книга.
Thank you!
A video on Tarkovski I'll like it before I even start watching.
yes please speak about the complex of photography and time
Top notch content!
Thank you!
I saw Stalker at around 7 years old since it was in the cinema and my parents took me with them, and I liked the movie. It made strong dream like impression at this age.
Now that’s a great memory!
@@TatianaHopper You remember such movie, it is different from anything else.
@@dimakor5914 completely agree the first I watched it I was amazed, I don’t know if you have watched it but Andrei Rublev was also a movie that left me speechless!
@@TatianaHopper Haven't seen Andrei Rublev, I think it is a good time to watch. I don't really like holywood movies for the last 7 years, they became pure garbage.
You mention that he's seeing things for the last time but I'm not sure the audience knows why that he is. Nonetheless, and even though we get only a quick glimpse of a small selection of this work, we get a feeling of sadness, perhaps even of resignation. Realizing that we can never step into the same river again, we all may benefit from looking at subjects as though seeing them for the last time. Finally, It is a little bit ironic - this notion of saving a moment of time with Polaroid. Thanks for sharing this. (P.S. you may want to pin your comment about the give-away so that it stays at the top).
Hey Brad thank you for watching! The audience will know because if they watch the video I do say at some point after I mentioned seeing things for the last time that he was not satisfied with how the country was treating his films and he began an exile which then took him to Italy which introduces the Italian polaroids :)
MPB is such an amazing service!
I even got a little token(plant seeds in a paper snowflake) when I got my Sony a6000 lens.
It was a really nice touch along with the affordable kit.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
I probably paid for part of the Giveaway, given how much they have benefitted from me lately (my fault, of course; should know better). I’d the P short for Pirates?
Tarkovsky’s Polaroids are so beautiful, I’m very surprised that he used the Polaroid Pronto for his photos too!
Agreed!
I loved Stalker so much and it changed my life and inspires my photography. only thing is I wish it was much longer, like around 5-6hours to really appreciate the cinematic elements. I especially felt the scene when they had a nap by the stream should have been around an hour long.
No you dont
Aren't poloroids great! I think that they are fun when they're overexpose a little; or alot. Thx. I'm a big Poloriod user for years and years. I have Poloriod shots that go back to when I was 8. I showed my best friend; back then; how to use a Poloriod. They are great cameras for kids. Instant picture for them, and it teaches them to slow down and compose the picture. Ansel Adams used Poloriod backs to check his exposure settings.
Omg the 250£ credit would be a real game changer for me! Being a uni student doesn't leave much room for new gear so I can only get a new thing once every 8-10 months, having access to a couple of upgrades would be incredible, I'm all signed up so fingers crossed🤞🤞
I love this chanel !!!
Cheers!
The default "instant" camera is now your cell phone. What is the biggest difference between the two? The ability to share the old instant with those who are in immediate physical proximity to you straight away, verses being able to share a digital image with anyone, limited only to your social media reach? To what degree does that difference inform the images you are capturing? Are the images captured by the old instant naturally more personal?
I was resisting this video because I was wondering about what Tarkovsky might have thought about having these images shared, but it sucked me in anyway. The only thing that broke the spell was the shift (albeit seamless) to the sponsored ad. 😅 Pretty cool promotion though.
Very interesting questions indeed and I would agree that the smartphones have become our instant cameras these days! Yeah I wonder what he would've thought about having those images shared in books, nonetheless interesting material :)
A+
I find myself wondering whether the Polaroid format and its aura of "instant photography" adds to the sense that what is/was captured are "instants" in time--if that's not being too clever. Digital photography is "instant" too, of course, but it doesn't seem to have the same feel, does it?
I think the appeal with Polaroid and what makes it different than digital photography is because we have the printed physical element with us. I don't know, just my very brief thoughts :)
interesting
Your show has become my favorite show. Photography has become; one of the few things I'm interested in becoming better at. My resent struggle; has been building more depth in my pictures; with highlight detail, shapes, textures, shadows, and the shading of objects. Right it's the resulting feeling; that's be most important result. Count Baise said that writing jazz music; was like patche work. So many of the best things are. They didn't have an ending for the movie Casa Blanca; while they were filming it. In another movie; The Man That Fell To Earth; The alien tells the press; that he's getting rid of the computers, and replacing them with people. He says; because people make mistakes; and mistakes are where some of the best ideas come from. To me the best pictures that I get; are when I can pull a few interesting random things together; somehow. Then see what happens. Sorry just thinking out loud.. Sometimes I get lucky, and can stitch a few good elements together. Like people, places, and objects. Your shows are good food for thought; and a great source 4 my future researching; of inspiring photographers, and film makers. Thanks alot.
Not such a bad contribution but try (sorry to be so, so boring) The Colour of Pomegranates.
Plus you’ve got this whole postmodern thing applied to photography. Good luck with explaining that to photographers.
Did you see Sergei Parajanov's movies? It is pure poetry. Remarkable visual language.
Particularly Ashik Kerib (1988). It is dedicated to Tarkovsky.
Have watched one but will need to catch up with the rest! Thank you!
always enjoy your insight....
Thank you Stuart!
which film stock is this?
Wish I didn't give my polaroid to a 12 year old... maybe I'll show her some of Tarkovsky's work for inspiration... thanks for the great video
I think you have to! :)
Does anyone know what type of Polaroid camera he used mostly? An SX-70?
I was thinking the same thing. It looks more larger formatted Polaroids 210, 150?
I couldn't find anything for certain to be honest!
His films look better than his photos. Thank for a great footage.
I would say so! Thank you!
да, он гений
Excellent video
Thank you James!
book names ????
Thank you so much for having letting me discover this artist I never knew or heard about. Tarkovsky art is very representative to the Russian soul.
fсk russian soul. it's distraction and murder
Thank you for watching!
Photography video on Tarkovsky 😮
ohnoooo u uploaded on Tarkovsky. But i need to study biology :(((
ure the best
Fact, Dream, Reality.
Time=now=3sec, discuss 😊
Those who know Chichoni's cover for SOLARIS will know how to recognize the inspiration of the image at th-cam.com/video/6972_bl0eU4/w-d-xo.html
De dechets et du sang... ...brulant... ...tus.... Of offal and of the blood... ...burning... ...still.... it is free with kindle unlimited it is a collection of English/French poems and short stories hope you like something if you read
Here is one of the poems it is a poetic interpretation of head of a dead young man painting by theodore gericault
Head of a dead young man
Beneath a canvas coarse and crass, the head of a young man upon a cushion soft and of care; feminine chin; upon the lower lip the blood of God; fine nose; hair of an infant here...and...down there; upon his front, the sublime illumination, that descends, intimately as though of ivory flame.... ...when, of lavender and of rose, ascending vaguely towards the exegetic darkness, the offal; disclosed thus, profound and grave, an immense lesion, as though of a dolourous ulcer...from where all comes...where all returns....
💚❤️💜🤎💙🧡
Tati...... Wzup though
Say what?
Thats real photography... Ideas, not megapixels
Of all the times to not have any friends damn lol
it is the right time to highlight Russian culture and famous Russians.
Russia's image has been slightly spoiled by the fact that it commits genocide in Ukraine, but the cultural front is able to whiten the reputation a little.
I don't think you chose Tarkovsky for that purpose, but I think it's extremely inappropriate.
it's the main mistake. First, you consume their culture that they've stolen and after they wash out your brain, destroy your home and kill people that you love. no more mistakes pls
Nonsense
for me as a Ukrainian, it's a trigger to see a video like this. Pls can you check out Kharkiv photography school instead
Thanks!
Thank you!
