Alexey Titarenko is a renowned Russian photographer known for his distinctive style and powerful imagery. Born in 1962 in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), Titarenko has made significant contributions to the world of fine art photography. Here are some career highlights:
Photographic Style: Titarenko is recognized for his long-exposure black and white photographs, often capturing urban landscapes and city life. His images often convey a sense of movement, time, and the human experience within the context of urban environments.
Series: One of his most famous series is "City of Shadows," created during the turbulent period of the 1990s in St. Petersburg. This series documents the city's decaying architecture and explores the psychological impact of living in a rapidly changing society.
Exhibitions and Recognition: Titarenko's work has been exhibited worldwide, including in prestigious venues such as the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. His photographs have garnered critical acclaim and have been widely published in books, magazines, and art journals.

The security guy in the subway was the most confusing mix of strict and understanding at the same time lol.
Great video, Frederik!
There’s always someone to spoil your totally innocent enjoyment.
Your videos are ALWAYS so chill and inspiring. I think its because you discuss your topics in such an unaffected, thoughtful and low key manner. Thanks for drawing Titarenko to my attention. 👍
Always ask first before taking photos in underground system. It was a target many times and keeping the camera and the tripod next to the traction where people can knock it off its always a risk.
Christmas has come early. My fav uploads.
Thank you!
May just be my favorite photographer ever. This video is gold. Thank you!
why?
Such beautiful captures
Good to see your videos again
Good to have u back 😊
Great video Frederik, loved the images. All the Best!
Brilliant video , many thanks Frederik
good to see you again
Bravo! Amazing video and the insight! Hope to see your next one soon!
In-cre-di-ble! Thank you Frederik !
What an excellent photography lesson! Thank you! Entertaining as always 😊
Wonderful work.
This was such a fantastic video!
Glad to see you back on TH-cam! Contento de verte de nuevo en TH-cam!
Thanks Buddy,The last part is really informative
Can't tell you how much i enjoy this series, never end this please ❤🙌
Fantastic video! I’ve missed seeing more videos from you. However, you always put so much time and research into each one, it’s worth the wait. And, really admire your tenacity as you overcome the challenges of street photography in many of these locations. You never give up! #muchappreciation
more more more.. miss your videos.. another great one.
This is an amazing video from an amazing series! Thank you so much for introducing me to Alexy!
I loved this video 100%. Thank you.
Great video - insightful and a pleasure to watch. All the best.
I have been taking pictures for a bunch of years (way), and am continually impressed how unimaginative I can be. What a fun ,creative idea. Can't wait to put my own spin on it.
It was a guiding work, thank you Frederik :)
WoW! That was a good one! Fantastic images, I particularly liked the one at the London's metro ticket check point. And the one at the stairs where a figure stands out also made an impression on me. Overall watching a new video from you is always a joy, even when shooting like others you still manage to keep your unique perspective ❤
Glad to see a video of yours.
Jeez, I thought that man with the big red beard was Tolstoy come back to life.
Really great educational and inspirational content. Thank you )
Great shots and video 🎉
It's fine art your precious work!!! Thank so much!!!
Thank you for the explanations. I'll try to emulate those shots to learn. Thanks again
Great video, Frederik. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Just discovered your channel, and this video. I found your explanation so succinct, and inspiring. Delighted, as I will now have a binge watch of all your videos to look forward to. Thank you.
I agree These photographs have captured my interest and made me want to try them myself
Fascinating - a really interesting way of making an image and using camera settings. Food for thought!
Thanks for sharing and explaining! It’s inspiring to me and I will definitely gonna try this 😀
Excellent vid! I got a lot of ideas from it. Thanks you.
Frederik, I really enjoyed this video. You introduced me to a photographer of whom I was hitherto unaware, and then showed me how he created such amazing pictures, documenting your struggles to recreate his work. It was inspirational, so thanks a lot. I may well try something similar when next in a busy place.
Interesting and motivating.
Wonderful video! Thank you. 🙏🏻
Great street photography by both of you. Enjoyed viewing.
Brilliant Video! One of my favourite Photograf from the city where i live. Thank You!
Painting with life and light 🍃
Well I surely loved the picture in the London tube where people’s hands were entering the cards into the turnstiles.
Awesome vlog Frederik, I'm a newbie to photography and when I saw the same picture you did of Alexy Titarenko and it moved me completely. Your pictures are incredible.
Excellent video where i learned from you on this russian photograph. Thank you.
Well done! Thanks! I also like the photos by Olga Karlovac. Perhaps you could do a video of her style.
Great job. I started studying Titarenko's work this summer in a low light photography class.
Very intriguing style; I’m keen to give it a go. Well done for documenting it 👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I going through a bit of a lull at the min. But I saw a video of a guy trying to recreate ( like your doing here) and was blown away. Can't wait to give this style a go when I'm back at it. Love your videos man...
Excellent photos📷👍🏼
Your videos are always excellent! Extrano su videos de ciudad de mexico.
Interesting method!!👍
Thank you very enjoyable thanks for sharing.
Great video!
You are my favorite photographer. I really hope you do post more. Thank you for this. Another inspiration that is needed in a Texas summer.
Thank you for the kind words.
Bravo, grazie
Love the sequence at the 5min mark!
That edit felt good :)
thank you!
Welcome to London!
Thanks a lot ❤
Your photography in Mexico was one of the kickstarts of me getting into film photography, specifically black and white. Now I roll, shoot, develop and scan all of my film from home and I absolutely love the experience! Thank you for introducing me to my new hobby!
Do you have any good reccomendations for where to find photographers to look at? I'd never heard of Alexei Titarenko before today.
Thanks a lot. I’d recommend look at photo books likes these: trovatten.com/books/ and look up the authorsz
@@FTrovatten thanks very much, I'll take a look!
Great.
Thankyou ❤
Gracias
Welcome back its been a while!
1:33-1:40 🤯 Wow, what a photograph & what an explanation!!
I had seen Alexeys photographs before randomly when I was far younger (teen), but didn’t remember his name….his photos stood with me though. How amazing to now know the photographer!
Also, what great videos & photos you yourself have. I get easily distracted, and sometimes have a hard time following videos that are longer than 2-3 minutes….but you make the videos so easy to follow and understand, while explaining things that can be complex!
Great video and some of the photos you took are beautiful. I really liked the one of the hands checking out/in at the tube station.
Another photographer I think would be great for you to cover is Saul Leiter. I'm a big fan of his work and would love to see your take on it.
Keep up the good work!
Back! Who should the next photographer be? As promised, here is the link to my last video in London: th-cam.com/video/XyEGjUQwxIQ/w-d-xo.html.
So happy to see a new upload from you! You’re the reason I first had a crack at photography!
@@DeclannShieldsFilms That's great to hear! Thank you for sharing that.
Saul Leiter. Give us more! Need regular content. You're amazing.
Nobody covers Huger Foote. Heck Uta Barth.
not really a street photographer but ive always been extremely curious how Davide Sorrenti took photos. my understanding is that its done handheld so there is some natural blur, low lighting and exposure, and then creative posing and framing. the colours always bounce off eachother really well in his photos and i was just wondering if you could break it down. Great video
thanks 👋
I've tried this with some success, because my shutter speeds weren't as long as yours ( to get the effect that required ), I did't necessarily use ND filters
The ones that I've shot were in low light also and I used a tripod of course 📷👍
The haircut looks really good, also this felt like I was watching a movie, really great job
7:38 - Wow, great photo!
this !
Awesome! Has been thinking of doing this style in Copenhagen, now I better get moving! Great perspective, diden't know about Alexey. Very moody images.
Awesome video! I want to play around with the shutter speed now. Can you do Fan Ho next?
Great video. You got more balls than I do.
Hi Frederik. I love the way in which you learn about and educate us in the styles and techniques of other photographers. I have asked before, but would you consider looking at the work of Jane Bown, who worked at the Observer for around 60 years as a portrait photographer, armed with nothing other than an Olympus OM-1, Tri-X and natural light? Thanks.
Great "seeing you" again, Frederik 😊 very decent video as always, just love your honesty & authenticity (...& the results of course)! I'm currently travelling around south america and watched your mexico city movies to learn how to ask strangers for a photo 😊 however, I'm still fighting w/ my comfort zone 😅
Don’t worry. You got it! And enjoy it :)
1) SVEMA - almost correct pronunciation 😉
2) For long exposures gorillapod could help. Course it's small and unobtrusive and you don't block the flow of the people.
3) If gorillapod is no option, than a MONOPOD combined with a camera that has the IBIS should give you exposures longer than 2 seconds...
This is inspiring! I have always been fascinated by Titarenko's work. I'm going to try this. What about color? Any reason why the images have to be in black and white?
Very interesting way of photography and well produced video. Thanks. You mentioned taking photos with the intervalometer. Is it to get different moments of time or to blend the photos afterwards - as 15x2s instead of 1x30s?
Many thanks for sharing this. Absolutely mesmerising and impactful storytelling.
Those Mexico City photos you got are fucking incredible. I really need to get into long exposure street photography.
Coming to this a few days after it was posted, but yeah. You fell foul of the privately owned “public” space at Arsenal (and Canary Wharf) which is increasingly common in London.
If you want to revisit the football stadium idea then I’d suggest Fulham. It’s old so it’s built right up against public infrastructure and the bottlenecks are pretty narrow. You’ve got the absolutely beautiful Johnny Haynes stand on Stevenage Road, it’s an old red brick Victorian building that is right up against terraced housing and it really is worth seeing. You’ll get a good flow of people through Bishop’s Park heading to/from the tube at Putney Bridge too, but that stand might be exactly what you are looking for.
camera on the tripod is what gets you in trouble haha, great shots tho! Love your content
Thank you for sharing your experience! Do you think that this effect is better noticeable only if seen in black and white? Thanks!
What if you adjust the camera strap at a certain height from your neck, stand still and you can use the fuji app on the phone as the viewfinder to frame the photo, stand still and use the app as a remote shutter button, that way you don't draw attention to yourself with the tripod
Man, the atmosphere is out of this world in these images… you talk about tripod and ND filter at 11:30… just wondering what ND filter works best? … awesome video… one of your best!
Thank you! I use this one geni.us/TiffenN
@@FTrovatten Thanks so much Frederick. I ordered one last night. I live in a somewhat rural area in Canada, but you have opened my eyes to all the potential with this technique, even around me. I appreciate your videos so much. I have learned a lot over the years. Have you ever done a gallery show. Some of these long exposure images of yours would look amazing enlarged. They are art!
Great video as usual. How about Daidō Moriyama or Saul Leiter?
That guy was actually pretty cool in the end. He’s just trying not to get fired. Life is hard.
Thanks for a great video! By the way, no problem holding 2 sec with Olympus OM-1 ;)
Great Video Frederik what ND filter did you use👍
Great video and amazing photographs ! Congrats ! what lens do you use with this camera ? And what about ND filter ? ND1000 ? And what is the 'box' above your camera, what is it for ?
Thanks in advance for your answers. Congrats from France !
Excellent video and great photos - I find it totally ridiculous that you could use your 60 megapixel phone and nobody will bat an eye lid.
Thanks a lot Frederik for putting this video together. It's really fascinating. Q: how did you make your photos look grainy (as taken with film)? At the base ISO, the images are supposed to have really low noise, right?
I do it using ‘Grain’ in Lightroom :)
Could do a video on Andress Feininger. Thank you Ben
6:06 gotta love his redbeard. Redbeard the platform guard. he was there to keep you safe, remember that.
7:40 good one.
7:57 good one.
9:48 would have been perfect if a shop owner stood still and looked at you, but allas.
10:10 good one.
I was looking at Alexeys pics and doing this in an interval setup is a good idea. didnt think of that. perfect it would be is to capture sharp an image behind the flood of passersby. like you both did.
