This is a great channel, and I am happy to be a subscriber. As a person deeply interested in photography, this channel has helped me learn a lot. Thanks for all your posts.
Ugh, I played around with out of focus photography before but didn't realise there was any appeal to it beyond my own interest. I love how it forces you to appreciate the essence of the architecture without getting caught up in the details. My first encounter with Sugimoto's work was his double infinity photograph of the Eiffel Tower. I knew I was in love.
@kenjiari Except, you'd be moving the lens "backward" (i.e., towards the film plane), as moving the lens forward (away from the film plane) brings the focus point closer.
Primero de todo muchas gracias! Perdone que no hablo inglés. Como se consigue la técnica de enfocar a doble infinito? El objetivo manual solo me permite infinito no más allá... Gracias
I saw one of his moonlight seascapes a few times and the exhibit was curated with a theme of "time". One photo of his has haunted or puzzled me ever since. From the passage of the moon, I estimate the exposure was about an hour or so. The sea should have been very smooth and structureless which was true for all the other photos except this one. You could make out a wave breaking on the beach - how could that be with such a long exposure? "Acquired taste" - I agree, there is something going on here but not quite sure what it is (sounds like a Bob Dylan song from Highway 61). Like very much your presentation of less known but yet published photographers with insights to process and context.
Love the 90s sitcom intro lol
I love his movie theater work.....really stunning stuff!

Photography on TH-cam would be so much poorer without you, thanks again.

Love this podcast ! Clear and instructive approach, well done !
@poppinfresh did you get it yet? Its a great book.
Really enjoyed this. Love learning and seeing what photography can be.
Thanks
using a bellows camera you could extend the focal length past the lenses intended length, just guessing

Good presentation, just right for what I'm looking for in TH-cam photog/artist vids. Keep it up!

Same here, I never heard that concept before but I'd like to understand it.
WOW ted, you're soo young here!
I think you should do a series of Japanese photographer!
Can someone please tell me some identifying information on the book? ISBN/publisher/editor ? Nothing in the description and the links are dead.
I'm not sure what's scarier the fact this video on TH-cam is 13 years old or the fact that 2011 was 13 years ago 😬
Interesting man!!
Nice, thanks a lot. Just one detail, Sugimoto is pronounced like in'Soogheemoto'. Very interesting individual.
Can you explain what you meant by focusing at 'twice infinity' to get the blurred effect? That part confused me :/
You can do that with Cameras that use bellows
dude, i just found you and you are awesome
I love your videos!
where can i find the book?? ~im interested in it
The seascapes look like U2's No Line Horizon album cover. Cool.
It is.
@@nickmoran1 Wait, really?
@@middle_pickup I believe it is Hiroshi's work. U2 and Hiroshi traded inage.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yeah, You have a better eye for this than I do. Cant see it.
hi all, great review, one of my favourites, just wondering if this guy is on instagram?
SUJIMOTO ROFL
SOO GHEE MO TO
Enjoying your videos! BTW, his name is pronounced su-ghee-moto. Ghee as in Indian butter.
Sugimoto is a Japanese 'artist' who knows how to play up to the West and its ideas of what is 'contemporaray art'.
Sad that you ended making this series about famous photographers & books. But I understand, low interest, less money.
