Jared haven't looked at your videos for a while. The book is great but your intro blew me away. Well thought out and polished to perfection. One of the best I have seen on You Tube. What software did you use? Your logo zooming in to match the music was sweet. Well done.
Im going to suggest you on my states photography Facebook page. Nebraska through the lens. Love your videos, only watched a few so far but very fun and informative. Let's get you more subscribers!
Jason Zimmerman I saw a video with him recently and showed a Mamiya medium format camera. A popphoto article says he was uses a Mamiya RZ67 Pro II with a 140mm lens for his Close Up series and a Fuji 6x9 for magazine assignments.
Well, even though I do like his pictures, I don't think he's actually THAT great. Granted, different people have different tastes. But as someone else already has pointed out: his pictures rely heavily on the fact that (most of) his models are famous. By that basically half of the story (if not even more) is already told because their character/image is already known. So he's just playing with their images and that's his whole idea. I rather stick with Richard Avedon, Bettina Rheims, Peter Lindbergh and in my opinion number one: Helmut Newton. And I'm not talking about his better known and published work, but about the more private moments. The pictures he took of his wife and vice versa are just phenomenal - full of closeness, intimacy, trust and emotion. His commercial work never came even close in my opinion.
Amen. I'm still getting the book, though. The point for me is not so much celebrity worship (the heights of which I find...stomach churning, in the US at least. But I suspect any kind from any country will always cause the same reaction from me) as the photographic proof of some kind of humanity. Celebrities are people, too, in case people forgot. And you buy a Schoeller book to see how his artistry captures that. Personally, I don't get the knee-jerk reaction people have when they see a celebrity portrait, "Oh a famous person. How droll" and just dismiss it outright. Check out Schoeller's portrait of Henry Kissinger. You think about this bureaucrat's track record and then study the picture. A photo of a modern day Antichrist if I ever saw one. I'm sure you already know this, but portrait sessions, the good ones at least, attempt to pierce the veneer people put up as a defense and try to tell an honest story about someone, not just celebrities. And that could be anybody, really. Otherwise, they're just glam shots at best and ID card pics at worst. Just my 2c.
The pictures look bland. Standard, run of the mill commercial portraiture. Not really original or imaginative. The sort of stuff that adorns throw-away mainstream boring magazine editorials. Technically proficient but not very interesting.
Could you probably make a list of all the books on your shelf? Would be nice. Love your work btw.
I bought this a fortnight ago. So inspiring.

Hi jared, Do you have a book about Product photography?
The best photographer I have ever come across is Irving Penn. Yet let us all be the best at out creation
Who's the one in white at 1:30 ?
+oMkRnRTz looks like quentin tarantino
Does Martin describe what equipment he uses?

***** the depth of field from the cover image gave away that he uses the format. I only know 2 sensor sizes that can give it that feel
so this book costs $500 now. uuugggggggghhh
Jared... i love you

have to sell my gear if i want to buy that
nice intro montage
so how much did you get paid for plugging that book?

2:53 that was funny! but probably not the best attitude ever
Not my taste. Bob Gruen, Mapplethorpe & Annie Liebovitz are more to my liking.
That was don rickles
Amazing portraits! But, boy, is Don Rickles gonna get you for that one, Jared! :-)
Albert Watson for me
Andy Rooney lol.... Almost as funny how you say ISO.
I Shoot Raw
Don Rickles!!! Lol
If its just celebs forget it. lots of fascinating people on this planet other than celebs. Boring
