- In this rare interview, photographer Robert Frank discusses his seminal book The Americans (1958). He reflects on specific images from the series and gives insight into his process at the time.
I just wish this was longer. Could listen to him for hours.
Beautiful artist. Rest in peace Robert.
I read The Americans for the first time in high school and it was a magnificent revelation - as much now as I'm sure it was then. These were pictures unsatisfied with the romanticism of the American image of itself, ones that wanted to pry beneath the surface and expose what people didn't want to look at. A magnificently necessary book from a magnificently necessary artist. May he rest in peace and may his work echo through the ages.
May this legend rest in peace. He inspired generations of photographers as well as many more to come.
Thank's for this lovely interview. The big man are simple and bigger.
Totally agree with his statement that photographing every day helps you get better. Not only at knowing your equipment but "seeing" photographically so Lady Luck shines down more often. As HCB said, "your first 10,000 pictures are the worst." With today's digital age, the number probably needs to be more like 100,000!
so thankful for these, rewatch them weekly!!!
Magnificent photos
"... you take, you know, sixty pictures every day, so ... it _has_ to work out."
Inspiring - a true Master! thanks for sharing! 🤠🙌🎥💫
Love your photography and your channel! I have been getting more and more into photography recently and LOVE it!
wow what a great find... just keep taking pictures it has to work out right... love it!
Incredible photographer
great video, Robert Frank also has lots of great books published after the Americans as well. Definitely worth a read.
RIP Legend
Wonderful man
The Alpha and Omega the MASTER thank you Robert Frank.
Nice interview. But please, please forget this kind of naive background music which makes videos like this the same category like a kid's influencer video for home crafting or something. It simply doesn't work.
maybe when you get older you won't be so easily distracted. Maybe you will grow weary of finding the bad in something, who knows what you can be.
Yeah, the music is lame...very common these days.
i blame the fucking youtube copyright money bullshit
they need a music button u can hit lol
It’s not the end of the world.
Robert Frank, whose raw, spontaneous images made him one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century, has died at the age of 94. Robert Frank groundbreaking work is "Americans". This photo was first published in France in 1958 and is called "Les Americains".www.dianjinwa.com/video/40956.html
Nice video!
60 pictures of day..of course it has to work out...but you need to have the eye to choose, to pick out the photographs take work for you, that "speak" to you when you look at the contact sheet. That process of editing the photos, to get the right ones, that is were the art is, that is what separates an artist for just anybody taking a photo.
very true and often looked over, sometimes its hard to choose but like he says, you know when you took a good one.
I dont think he was thinking of art when he photographed.. There is no time to think about any phony art when you hands and spinning mind are trying to keep up with reality to maybe catch something at the speed of life.
super art
I really enjoy letting people borrow my copy of The Americans, they're usually mesmerized by the content. Other than The Family of Man, is there a more influential book of photography in the 20th Century? Probably not.
nice
Great video, but jeez why that cutesy music?
💯💥🌏💥💯
Sasha Wolf interviewing?
RIP
when did this interview take place?
This was shot in 2015.
60 Pictures everyday, It has to work out!
When was this from exactly? Boy Robert looks sooo old.
I thought he was taking the 130’s for a ride on the incline?
3:15 Today he'd take 2000 pictures a day, "thanks" to digital...
I would have enjoyed this better without the silly music
Lived to be 94... adrenochrome?
RIP
