Great work! Thank you for a breath of a fresh air in the world where 95% of photography videos are just “another new gear came out” reviews
I agree! Most TH-cam photography channels are about how to edit for a "Instagram bangers". This channel is on another level
Totally. I have rarely seen any discussion on the internet about photographers. Ted Forbes does on his channel 'The Art of Photography' but he doesn't try to channel Titarenko like here.
@@thethirdman225Another channel I suggest is "The Photographic Eye." It's strictly about photography ideas and exercises and entirely absent of gear reviews.
This was an absolute joy to watch and experience, I have only just heard about Alexey Titarenko through you, and I am lost for words, what a story! Beautiful work, Thank you.
Fantastic, glad you enjoyed it!
The absolute care you take with these insights into photography, photographers and the entire photographic process is astounding. Thank you for these gems!
This was fantastic and I love how you infuse your personal experience and relationship with the artist's work.
This is superb. It shows how thought, planning, preparedness, and pre-visualization are used to create something spectacular. I also like the creative thought behind using infrared to tie the image to the theme of the subject matter. 👏👏👏
Absolutely beautiful and a wonderful homage to a brilliant artist who saw the world through introspective eyes.
Hey man, just found your channel and I just want to say how much I love your videos, especially the ones like these where you breakdown the styles of famous photographers and try them yourselves. I always feel so inspired afterwards.
Stands out a mile from the usual click bait photography videos that try to scare you it into clicking with “you’re doing it wrong titles”.
Please keep making these man, expanded my photography knowledge tenfold!
Thanks, there's more to come!
Brilliant. You're inclusion and respect for Titarnko's art, and your gentle touch at recreating not only his technique but his sensibility here is wonderful. Sharing your process - finding still figures to act as foreground, etc are much appreciated. Heading into Toronto tomorrow for a day of experimenting with long-exposure shots, and now I have a nice image of what can be achieved! Thank you!
That's wonderful to hear. Happy experimenting!
Using the IR technique was an interesting spin on this. Titarenko’s stuff is really low contrast, and I think that helps the stationary parts of his subjects - the hands, feet, or figures - to stand out better from the background. The IR creates a lot of extra contrast that I think pulls the attention away from this - but you never know unless you try!
Good point!
I am also thinking that the infrared technique may be actually working against the impact of those images.
Have we noticed the time frame during which the original photographer made his images and the other tried to imitate the technique in a different time span when we have a different looks for the happenings in the world! Titarenko was successful in creating the gloom around the picture frame whether they are in the clear or in the blur zone and that melancholy touched us from every part of the frame and the vastness of the medium format authenticity of closing in on every element of a picture equally hit us to the core! But we cannot take away the method of Titarenko being so wonderfully recreated by an apsc digital camera! Although the period of time span and themes are different and the motion blur had been typically suited to the given situation the atmospheric glee in the these photographs held back the pathos in the overall situation in the thematic representation of project! But it's startling the old man in clear relief with his watching figure toward the moving protesters, wonderful; although it is compared with nearly similar shot o Titarenko, this has the personal touch of your creativity which proves your mettle as a potential photographer! Want more from you!
Fantastic video. Titarenko’s work is haunting and beautiful - your introduction to his life and work is great. Your attempt to take photos in his style deepens our appreciation of what he achieved. The photos you took are great as well. Well done! 🙏💪
Titarenko exemplifies the blending of serendipity and prepared genius. His pictures move me more than any others. Congratulations on your pictures & video ... love the addition of IR.
So informative and educational. The technical break down is really easy to understand. Definitely bringing back the "fun" in photography
Discovered your channel last night as a TH-cam suggestion. What a wonderful concept and insight to a whole genre of photography I would never have been exposed to. Fantastic work and excellent channel. Thank you for the inspiration, history and exposure to the greats in photography. Outstanding !!
Fantastic, great to hear!
👏 wonderful work ❤
And yes, Titarenko’s work is great!
Your imitation too 👍
This is art with depth and meaning.
Intelligent, informed, classy calm presentation..thank you for sharing this so generously. My new favourite youtube presenter!
Thank you for watching!
Titarenko is a true innovator in the field of photography. Nice approach!
It is a new horizon for me. I am amazed.
Your favorite near the end was a definite keeper.
Another great episode. I love that I've learned about a photographer I didn't know before and their technique.
Fantastic, stay tuned for more!
Thank you for this video. Thank you for making me aware of Mr. Titarenko. Great pictures of your own, too.
And your voice as a narrator to the story is a perfect match.
I was not familiar with Titarenko's work, never seen these photos before but I am happy to have stumbled on this video and learnt about it. Some of my recent works (digital art) are very similal as a concept to his style, glad I can now learn more of him and his work!
Bittersweet melancholy, perfectly described.
Fantastic, once again, You are unique amongst the 99% of mainstream gadget photographers. Musicians are capable in locking emotions through sound, Artistic photographers capture emotions through a glass. Thanks.., CANADA
Thanks Mario!
Excellent video. I first came across Titarenko several years ago when I watched the Art of Photography video and immediately fell in love with his work. I liked your use of infrared in your images - nicely done.
I loved those videos and interviews with Titarenko. They are invaluable.
"The human tide" is such a compelling expression, one that spans the generations. Thank you for providing your perspective on it. Yes. The passage of time is essential to the medium of photography.. Well done.
Fantastic video and that image with the cops standing by their bicycles watching the crowd go by is superb.
Shock of the new (to me). Thanks for educating me and inspring!
This is legit one the best vids on photography I've ever seen
Your Channel and your Work is Gold. Thank you
I enjoyed your video . I’ve seen this man’s work in the past and loved it immediately. I’ve tried similar images at the beach while people watching . Thanks for sharing, I will try again .
Beautiful and sad at the same time
Thank you so much for the introduction of Alexey Titarenko, his work is truly magical and wonderful.
excellent video both for your description of Titarenko's thinking/feeling in his creative process and for your own work . . . thank you for posting this
This is a fantastic film, thank you. It really interested and inspired me. I haven't seen Titarenko's work before, so I've just learned something new. Great work😁👍
All the hard, preparatory work you did certainly paid off, there are some great shots in there. Well done and thanks for sharing, it was very inspiring.
Great video. Love your images of the protest.
Fabulous! Educational and beautifully moving. Onto the next one, just love your films 👍
Very very well thought out and brilliantly executed! Great work! Thank you!
From Argentina, a beautiful discovery of your videos and your work, thank you!!!!
Well presented and explained. You nailed the background music.
Thank you for your hard work and sharing.
Looking forward for your next videos.
Fascinating. Thankyou for making this video.
Great video, both for the examination of Titarenko's work, and for the detailed recounting of how you went about trying to recreate it on your own to great results.
Increíble trabajo por su parte, increíble fotógrafo al cual no conocía. Gracias por divulgar tanta sabiduría. Thanks a lot.
You are amazing, this channel feels so original and for a beginner like me provides so much valuable information for photography, In a world where there are plethora of channels boasting about their gear and setup, this captures the true essence of art. Please keep doing this, you are influencing so many people like me.
Beautiful work, thank you!
Maaan! i loved loved this guys work and the way he thought. I cant thank you enough for sharing his work.
Wonderful stuff. Really pleased to have discovered your channel recently - excellent photography and a great approach to making videos about it.
Very well done ! Much appreciated !I have been trying this myself & appreciate your observations re the 'density' of the subjects required, their speed of movement & some insight into exposure times.
Your montage was a lovely audiovisual experience !!
Colby
Thanks, glad this video helped!
A very nice homage to Titarenko, lovely collage with the music ❤
Beautiful video and process. Thank you
Amazing video. Well explained. And your captures both reflect the technique and express your creativity in an intriguing and lovely way. Keep it up.
I just came across your channel and wanted to say thank you for such amazing work! Often I find it difficult to understand how photographers achieve specific results as I have poor technical skills, and you are so good at explaining. And I love how although you are imitating a specific photographer, you are giving your own perspective to it and coming up with something unique and beautiful. Can't wait to go out there and experiment! I hope you'll stay around youtube cause your content is just what we need!
Thank you, there's plenty more to come!
You have one of most interesting channels on photography that god it’s not a gear review
I saw this very video a few months ago. And it kept coming back to me. More and more and more. Just drawn to the way you brought his style and story forward here. Thank you. Really, I'm more than excited at the thought of drawing inspiration from Titarenko, and to a greater extent, your video.
Kind wishes from Paris France.
Thank you, really appreciate it.
Excellent work. Thank you!
I’m glad I found your channel. Thank you for your work 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I hope to see more videos from you.
Definitely, more videos coming up!
Fascinating ! Enjoyed your measured consideration. The photographs are very interesting . Thank you for this study and your efforts
Huge thanks for a fascinating study, deeply felt and inspiring.
Super sick!!! ( as in great! ) I love how in your photos you also captured some still bodies and objects amongst the blurry crowds. WOW. Really really good. Props! Love your explanations in your videos.
Amazing documentry thank you!
Exceptional presentation!! Wonderful channel
Thank you Dr. Gupta!
Great observations on content, and technique. I am thoroughly enjoying the photographers you have selected to imitate. Very thought provoking.
Absolutely enjoyed your documentary approach and creative contribution! I learned so much in just 15 mins, thank you!!
His photos are amazing
Superb vlog and images, from Titarenko and you. Thanks 👍🏻
"I'm a little late to the game, but I really enjoyed your commentary and presentation of Titarenko and your work. It truly inspired me!"
Marvellous Video, thanks for sharing
Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing.
Great experience it was to watch it. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for doing this. These are meditative pieces and inspiring. Love Titarenko's work.
Thank you for watching!
Amazing ! You put so much effort into this and it shows. Well done
so glad i found this channel! Hope to run into you in Toronto some day!
You have this Werner Herzog-ish cadence in your speaking and I find it very nice to hear and very suiting for this kind of technical yet introspectice videos.
Superb, excellent, thoughtful presentation.
Thank you for this amazing video. The topic was very inspirational and as always your voice was perfect. Not slow and boring but in the perfect tune to make everyone enjoy, relax and calm. Thank you again.
Excellent watch. Many thanks
So good! Very interesting indeed and strong photos! Keep on rolling!
Thanks Paul!
Great video and photos mate, really enjoying your channel. I’m using and exploring long exposure during gig photography, particularly in smaller venues when the whole crowd is jostling and jumping and standing still is not an option! I’m loving the energy and rawness of this approach. The resulting images feel like distant memory and half remembered dreams, much like how I feel about Titarenko’s work.
That's a great use, awesome name by the way.
Loved that presentation of the Alex Titarenko .
Very good work. Very inspiring too. Thanks!
Great work, thanks for sharing it.
Thank you for this very inspiring video 🙏 You pictures are stunning 👏 and very impressing.
You absolutely sound like Pedro Pascal's the Mandalorian if he had a wee different accent.. 😂
I absolutely love Titarenko's work. Great video. Cheers for this and greeting from New Zealand.
Thank very much for the insight, I have admired his work for many years, but procrastinated on delving deeper into who he was. Very imaginative with using an infrared filter, I had only thought of a ND filter.
Well done!
Thank you for information and photography
WOW! What a great channel.. Thank you so much! Very inspirational
Really interesting and well presented .It is inspirational to see another way to improve ,develop ,push ,photographic creativity .I look forward to more from you
I really enjoyed this . Your focus on the emotions behind 'the shot' is just what we need in this technology driven world. Just the past few weeks I have been returning to my photographic roots which began in the 1960/70's . After a long career behind increasingly complicated cameras now down to 'simple' Leica Sl with old Leica R lenses, the perfect amalgamation of top quality digital with old style lenses ., as a result I found the creative 'amateur' mojo I lost so long ago.
And that is what your work is all about , finding 'one's self' by expressing emotions in one's imaging.
Thanks again , you reinforced my choice.
Great work. Enjoyed every bit of it.
Wonderful. Thank you!
Amazing work!
Great post (and pics) -- thanks for sharing :)
Just discovered and absolutely love your channel
Excellent info! Thank you-
good choice of artist to study - haunting and truly heavy work
appreciate the Herzog pace and tone, cheers !
Then you will love the penguin documentary I'm working on 🤣
Amazing work on the analysis of his work and of course great pictures you created, made me think that photography isn't always about sharpness and crispy details. Became a subscriber, keep up with that it's great!
Thanks and stay tuned, got a lot more videos in the works!
Very nice presentation. Really appreciate the effort.
Well done! Great video as well.
