I'm LTTP on your channel Tatiana so I'm working my way through the archive. Really love your videos and how it makes me think of photography in different ways and be more intentional in my work.
Don't Blink is brilliant. The editor who made it worked closely with Frank. Nobody ever explores the crucial link between Frank and the US Beat Generation, beyond obvious labels.
The number 1 document i have ever seen about photography is about Vivian Maier. We were 1 mm away from losing the entire life work of this enigmatic person. I watched this document twice I have one of her books and I visited her exhibition. Simply stunning, beyond any imagination.
I love what you are doing to shed light on photography in an instructive and exploratory approach. I have a suggestion: please do a segment on Eli Reed, my mentor who inspired me to devote over 12 years of my documenting Black American life in Harlem. Eli Reed's Black in American was the book that shown me that I could do this mammoth undertaking. His other book, A Long Walk Home, was another big influence, He is the only Black photographer in Magnum.
I continue to enjoy the insights you bring on photography and photographers. I showed a friend some of Salgado's photographs and said they make me question why I should ever pick up a camera again. He couldn't understand why I would say that - and of course Ii still try! One small point that niggles away: When I started, early in the second half of last century, we just had photography. Then along came the digital era, but that doesn't make film photography analogue! To me the division is film and digital; just because film isn't digital it doesn't automatically become analogue! Anyway, keep up videos like this and keep introducing me to new photographers.
Once again I have to say Thank You!!! Great work on a great topic!!!! I know of no one on UTube that does puts out such a dynamic and inspiring channel as you do!!!!!
@@TatianaHoppermay be salgado was “king” when he was doing film (e.g. “sahel, the end of the road”, or “workers”), but he got increasingly post produced, which make some of his recent work super dull (e.g. the “amazonia”). maybe an idea to dig in deeper in your suggested “book compared review”. love your channel big time, though :)
War Photographer 2001, is an incredible documentary on James Nachtwey work. Finding Vivian 2013, on the life and mystery work of Vivian Maier. Zimbelism 2015, is a nice and lighthearted documentary on George S. Zimbel.
I really like the way you present these recommendations. Some years ago I watched the documentary: „Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters“. His work really stuck in my head.
Agreed, that documentary is fantastic. Not too long and every scene is really interesting, seeing the process and thought/craftsmanship as well as hesitation and practical issues. It was really intriguing and a very insightful documentary.
I may have mentioned this before. Master Photographers, was a BBC 6 part documentary on 6 different photographers. It was made in 1983. I thought it was brilliant at the time and recommended anyone to watch them. Thanks Tatiana.
If you are comfortable with french then La Panthère des neiges is very great. It has been rewarded with a Cesar for the best documentary a few years ago and it is very inspiring (It might have an English version)
Robert Frank: It would wrong not to point out that no US publisher wanted to publish The Americans in 1958. It was only when the book was published in France as Les Americains, that an American publishing house was willing to take the risk. Yes, risk. Because initially, as Frank reminded us in Don't Blink, there was a very negative reception and that should be said, and avoid whitewashing the history of documentary.
There's a quite recent movie called 'I’m Not Everything I Want To Be' about the live and work of Czech photographer Libuše Jarcovjáková mostly known for her selfies throughout '60 to today. 1,5 hour of only her pictures and her own narrative about struggle of life under communist regime, alcoholism and anxiety that she shows on her very intimate photography. Great film and interesting story of an underdog photographer that becomes well known later in her career.
Fantastic recommendations, my favourite would be the Robert Frank documentary because I’m such a fan of his photography, I’ll prob follow your recommendation for the Nan Goldin’s one. Cheers 👍🏻
Greetings, Tatiana On Sebastião Salgado, the famous scritic Susan Sontag really attacked his work on in myy view dubious ethical grounds. Stating he was exploiting the viewers' feelings. To his defence came David Strauss who argued she was wrong and explained why. I think some notes on critique would be helpful for your subscribers, adding to the undoubted aesthetic value.
Great Video!! 3 things: 1. Salgado video YES! 2. Sergio Larraín Documentary, someone mentioned it in a previous comment. 3. The documentary "La ciudad de los fotógrafo" I had the privilege to take photography clases with one of the photographer portrayed there.
I’ve been trying to find that documentary on Sergio Larrain ever since people recommended it to me when I made the Larrain video, but I don’t think it’s available for streaming on the regular platforms just yet, will try to find documentary 3, thank you for watching and for your suggestions!
@@TatianaHopper I believe that Sergio Larrain's documentary is in HBO Max for Latam at least. How's your spanish by the way? The other documentary I've seen it uploaded in TH-cam.
You have a interesting and thorough approach to the photographers and topics you share - as such, having seen algado "salt of the earth" and one book, "genesis", i have no doubt you would bring both information and insights that i would amazed by! do it!
Definitely a program on Salgado - and Genesis and its context within his life are definitely worth exploring. There is a great TED talk by him that gives some material on this.
Thanks for this list. I have watched the documentary on Sally Mann's work "What Remains" and have checked out one of her books from the library. Yes, I would like to take a deeper dive into the work of Sebastião Salgado. My local library has his book "An Uncertain Grace". I may be able to get of hold of his book "Genesis" through an inter library loan but I would have to talk to a librarian to confirm that. "Salt of the Earth" is available in my local library's system.
Loved the Robert Frank doco; can’t find the Sally Mann one in Australia, but on ‘Docplay’ I found ‘Finding Vivian Maier’ completely mind blowing. I had no idea her life was so troubled and dark. Another good doco on that platform was ‘Salt’ which is self-made by Murray Fredericks who captures some wild large format landscapes of Lake Eyre in Australia and goes partly mad in the process.
Have a look on TH-cam itself for the Sally Mann one, I watched a while back on TH-cam I think like someone had uploaded it. Will check salt, thanks for watching and for your recommendation Pat!
Perhaps it was mentioned last year, but I found the documentary "Beyond Iconic: Photographer Dennis Stock" to be quite interesting. Stock was the photographic artist who created the famous image of James Dean in Times Square. It examines their relationship. Thank you for your always informative channel. Cheers!
Great video, I had seen all of them except, embarrassingly, the Robert Frank. A recommendation I would like to make is Ragnar Axelsson. He is a photojournalist from Iceland who has spent his lifetime documenting the arctic. He has created a stunning and beautiful array of images (at least one of which I think is a masterpiece). His most recent book is entitled Last Days of the Arctic, which is elegiac. There is a documentary by that title available.
Thank you so much! I’ll check it out as I don’t think I’ve heard of Ragnar’s work which is good because I love learning about new photographers! Thank you for watching!
Thank you as always for your entertaining and insightful takes. If you haven't already, you may want to check out the street doc "In-Public In-Sight" by Nick Turpin
Hi Tatiana. Could you do a series of “music videos” all photographers should watch. To me the music video for the song WONDERFUL LIFE by BLACK is an absolute Masterpiece.
Hi Tatiana, I'm a new sub. to your channel. Not sure if you have featured or are familiar with the works of Jay Maisel, another legend in street/documentary/commercial photography. They recently made a documentary film also on him (Jay Myself is the title). Thanks and great vids!
Good documentary recommendations you have here. The main thing I have notice about those great photographers is their determination in capturing the culture or lifestyle of that subject. Nan Goldin domestic abuse, the grain documentary, the return to analog (film) photography, Harold Feinstein recording New York, Coney Island his life as a solider in the US army, Jamel Shabazz documenting the beginnings of the hip hop and rap world. Robert Frank the foreigner, the outsider looking behind the veil of 'the American dream'. Sebastião Salgado who trained in one discipline, but decided to follow another in recording Brazilian poverty and it's effects on that country's environment. Some thought provoking subjects.
Very good recommendations, will catch up with part one, my recommendation is Dorothea Lange: Grab a Hunk of Lightning if you haven't watched it already!

Love and appreciate your videos on photoGraphy and different photoGraphers too. Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Yes please an episode on Sebastio Salgado and Nan Goldin too please as they are hugely influential to me.
Noted, thanks for watching Steve!
War Photographer 2001, is an incredible documentary on James Nachtwey work.
Finding Vivian 2013, on the life and mystery work of Vivian Maier.
Zimbelism 2015, is a nice and lighthearted documentary on George S. Zimbel.
Thank you for all the recommendations!
Finding Vivian has to be the most well known photography documentary for sure
I've have two books on Vivian Meier checked out from the library, "Eye to Eye" and "Street Photographer" which I particularly enjoyed.
@@okyeabuddyguyI loved that until you discover how many mistruths there are in it
@@stevetrapped2823 oh yea? I didn't know. Which stuff in particular?
I really like the way you present these recommendations.

I think I’ve watched that one, not sure now. Thank you for watching!
A choice of weapons inspired by Gordon Parks is a documentary you should all watch
Estevan Oriol's doc on Netflix, LA Originals, great documentary!
I may have mentioned this before. Master Photographers, was a BBC 6 part documentary on 6 different photographers. It was made in 1983. I thought it was brilliant at the time and recommended anyone to watch them. Thanks Tatiana.
I think you did, thank you so much for watching and for the recommendation, best to you!
I think you did, thank you so much for watching and for the recommendation, best to you!
Tatiana,I will also mention again that they are all on TH-cam. I love watching documentaries on photography. Regards
That makes it even better, I looked them up after your comment and added it to my watch later playlist, cheers!
If you are comfortable with french then La Panthère des neiges is very great. It has been rewarded with a Cesar for the best documentary a few years ago and it is very inspiring (It might have an English version)

@@TatianaHopper will do!
Cheers!
This was wonderful. Thank you. Is the actual name of each film listed somewhere? And are there links to where we can find them? Thank you
Yes I was looking for them too. Thanks

Thank you Tatiana, I really enjoyed this. I was not familiar with any of these documentaries, lots of lovely viewing for me 👍🏻🙏🏻
Enjoy it Bob! Cheers for watching!
glad you touched on Jamill Shabazz, he's not mentioned enough
Where can we find some of these!?!? Specifically the “Grain” film
Grain it’s actually on TH-cam, the others some are on Apple TV or you can rent it directly from their websites!
Definitely a program on Salgado - and Genesis and its context within his life are definitely worth exploring. There is a great TED talk by him that gives some material on this.
I watched the Ted before, you’re right, it is really good and also explains a lot of his philosophy, thank you for watching!

Y E S on Sebastian!
Yes to more Salgado please!
Perfect! 🤝🏻
More Sebastião Salgado? Yes PLEASE!!!
Yes to Salgado…
I know what to watch next weekend 😅
Let’s go!
salt of the earth is outstanding...also the only one i've seen from this group..time to change that.
Excellent video ❤
Thank you!
Tish - about the English photographer Tish Murtha is very good, great photography too

Thank you Dan! Will check it out as I'm not familiar!
I do miss “Silence Sounds Good” Elliott Erwitt, Julius Shulman and Helmut Newton..
Thank you for your proposals.
Thank you for watching!
"Sergio Larrain, el instante eterno" is a very interesting about the work and life of...Segiro Larrain 😅
I can’t find that one available on the regular platforms over here, but I will keep it on my watchlist until it does make its way here :)
Hi Tatiana. Could you do a series of “music videos” all photographers should watch. To me the music video for the song WONDERFUL LIFE by BLACK is an absolute Masterpiece.
It's kind of hard to find but "Contemporary Photography in the USA" and "Street Photography - Documenting the Human Condition"
Matt Black, I made a video on him a couple of months ago 🤝🏻
@@TatianaHopper my apologies!
No problem, I’ll try to find more and bring them to the channel, I love that type of photography too… another name comes to mind Larry Towell!
Looking at images by Anton Corbijn and Bart Kuykens make me to want to go out and shoot.
