    Which photographer should I do next? Watch the next episode of this series th-cam.com/play/PLQAJ8pSCXDc6eeFnrjnBnvXyPYNNUQzph.html. Also a big THANK YOU to everyone who has become a member of my channel: geni.us/trovatten. We might only be 5 members now, but it helps me create videos like this :)!

      I think it's a fun exercise! You got some really good ones. And you always see YOUR style in the photos too. Next one: Henri Cartier-Bresson?

      Great video...Studying those before you sets the course for finding your own style...i find it to help me think outside the box because i think, "this has been done before, what can i do different?" Great video...

      I think with any art the best way to push its boundaries is to learn everything about that art. Once you have that foundation, then begin to adapt your knowledge into a truly unique style!
      You're doing an amazing job, keep indulging in the foundations and soon people will be studying your unique style as part of their foundational learning process!

    As a Mexican i see that you are very respectful and sympathetic with people who are not as fortunate as you. We all are foreigners some where and is understood, you are lucky Mexicans will not belittle you or put you down but not only encourage you but support you more than just morally and that coming from a less fortunate people than you makes them wealthier and better. Keep up the good work man

    You're totally right about recognizing privilege in photography!! It's so important to understand the power dynamics involved when we take pictures. Your comment also got me thinking about something my anthropology professor once said. They stressed the significance of not reducing people to just their poverty when we document them. It's a challenge, but we should strive to see their complete humanity and the richness of their experiences.

    I love your videos and amazing photos! I recently started trying college and instead of looking at specified photography subjects as forced, I embraced them and used it as an opportunity to shoot out of my comfort zone. It is kind of embarrassing because all of my photos are crap, but I am gaining so much experience and humility from trying to shoot things that I never would have before. I think that forcing yourself to shoot in another photographers style is so beneficial! I might try it on my own, even though I don’t run a channel.

    Your comment about photographing people less advantaged is important to keep in mind. If the subject feels you are being respectful of them, they feel better. It is better to first ask permission, but sometimes that fleeting expression, or moment, disappears! Sometimes you just have to go for it, like chasing a butterfly! p.s. Those locations in Mexico City are familiar to me, the American Tourist. I miss them. Thanks for showing me that. Rudolph
