Helloo! :) I've been working hard to produce this one together with Polaroid. I hope you enjoy joining me on today's journey. Thank you so much to Polaroid for their support. If you'd like to check out the I-2 camera or their new film you find them here: shorturl.at/cZIHo Also btw. this video actually has a couple spots I really like and don't want you to miss, in case you don't have time to watch the full thing hehe - my personal favs are 18:14 , 19:37 and 24:05 :,D Wishing you a lovely week!
@@f.n.rapidc8 LOL. you are not the only one. I understand him but the way he speaks is opposite to the video. The video is about peace and calm with the voice of high speed robot talking.
Hi Teo! I have a feeling this message won’t reach you, but I want to express how grateful I am that you make these videos. I’m not a photographer in any sense, but I believe your content reaches anyone interested in any kind of artistic expression. Your unique and intimate coverage of your perspective is amazing to see and I always feel like your videos make a difference not only in my day, but in my perspective and art as a whole. Thank you so much Teo 💚
Hello Teo I wanted to give you some love by saying I really enjoy your videos as they are really insightful, engaging and are very calming!! Thank you and please continue doing these aesthetic and slow videos which we need more of in life!! ❤❤
back in 2018 I wrote about wabi sabi in photography, as I experimented with a new camera (Nikon FM2) that I wasn't aware of it's conditions. I shot a roll of Kodak TriX and found out some light leaks due to a flawed back lid. I was extremely frustrated with the result until I took some time to look back at the photos and I absolutely fell in love with it. wabi sabi and film photography go hand in hands, and your exploration with polaroids just makes so much sense. good job. good video.
The level of detail and mastery of your videos is astonishing. A barrage of images and ideas so elegantly and seamlessly assembled and presented. Amazing work
I love your view on photography. Every video of yours makes me think about the creativity in my life. I really appreciate you for sharing your views and thoughts with the world. Thank you for that!!!
I applaud your willingness to explore another aspect of creativity in your life. I am an artist and retired interior designer who has always insisted on incorporating aspects of organic aesthetics in all of my works and designs. IMHO, your black and white polaroid photos are striking with their varied values represented. Wow. Thank you for sharing this valuable content with us.
Incredibly well edited video and such an awesome and well thought out photo project. I’m very happy that you are able to tie you’re undergrad thesis into the ongoing project. I’m super excited to see the continuation of this. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi, Teo. Have you ever heard of Sebastião Salgado? He’s a Brazilian photographer who works almost exclusively with black and white photography. It’s so beautiful. He says exactly what you said. When one photographs in B&W, the distractions go away. Personally, I prefer black and white photos than coloured photos. It speaks more to me. Great video!
Your voice, movie making, music choice, everything flows so smoothly that it's soothing for the soul. Almost meditative. I want to be like you. You got a fan 😊
Teo, your work documenting your process is getting more and more amazing!! What a majestic and engaging video... Looking forward to seeing the next steps of your project! Congratulations on the beautiful work!
I love the serious (in a fun way) deep dive into the art of photography and really appreciate your breakdown of your thinking so we gain insight into the process.
I'm so glad that I waited until I had the time to sit down and watch this all the way through 🤭 I really liked how this project seems to be a continuation of an idea you talked about in your bachelor's thesis! I thought that was very clever. My fav photos are 22:53 and 16:12 🌠
Hi Teo :) just wanted to say I came across your videos last week and they're so inspiring, I'm starting to be more serious with my photography and trying to find my style and your videos give me so much to consider, thank you!
beautiful and relaxing video, i dont shoot black and white often and usually dont like changing cameras since i like the consistency but i do get bored of my photos quite easily, all your videos are an inspiration to me to try and expand what i photograp, ive been a big fan for a while now and i feel like youve definalty influenced my photography. wonderful video !
Happy to find your account! Love the process and the result! I plan to go a visual project with my Polaroid i-2 as part of my PhD research and your account gives some inspiration. Thanks!
The last photo of shoot 3 is easily my favourite from this video. Your fading silhouette evokes an unnerving transience and the imperfect focus echoes the sentiment of wabi-sabi. I hope you include it in your final project.
From time to time I’ve experimented with reflecting on wabi sabi concepts in my photography. Your excellent video inspires me to do future wabi-sabi walkabouts.
Very cool. I love any project that consist of higher order thinking and deliberately planned concepts. More of this from the photography world. Less shooting without true rhyme or reason.
Hi Teo, as a fan of polaroid, wabi-sabi and your channel, i found this video incredibly interesting, cool and pretty fucin funny! Great great video, i absolutely loved it!
I shoot a LOT of Fuji Instax film, and just like the Polaroid, it's the diffusion and unexpected moments that keep me coming back. Love your project and the shots you're taking!
Ahhh wabi sabi, I went to an art museum and found a small book about wabi sabi. It was called wabi sabi for artists poets philosophers, something like that. Very short but very detailed. I’ve been wanting to create a series about this as well, this is a beautiful video!
my next history pre-capstone assignment is literally coming up with thesis ideas, and i already have a vaugeu idea and want to do soemthing about how photography and looking through a lense changes the way people look at/appoach life throughout history, and now im sat having lunch and i chose this video to watch while doing so, this is life at it's peak performance, your topic was so cool and def helped me feel better about my idea actually being able to work as a thesis possibly :)
wabi sabi has definetly affected how i approach photogrpahy bc i love finding beauty in the most meanial things, like a cigarette box discarded on the ground or like silhouettes of bare branches in the winter, so your photography makes me feel better and love and own my own photograhy even more :)
black and white photography ive found really great in recent years because i feel like when you take out the "distraction" of color if makes you focus more and look harder at what the subjects of the photo are and whats going on in the scene, because without color acting as a guiding auto recognition system for your brain (like a small red shape on the concrete your brain might be able to auto register as a fire hydrant persay) you actually have to look through the photo to find out whats in it (sometimes, this isnt always the case ofc)
Beautifully explained and really interesting! I didn't about Wabi-Sabi, but see parallels in some of my photographs as well. Even my wallpaper could be from Hiroshi Sugimoto, as I photographed the sea in the same exact way while the background is fully blurred out because of the fog. Plus it is just so minimalistic and fascinating
Tmw I've been applying this philosophy unknowingly to my photography for the last couple of months. This also closely mimicks what Rick Rubin outlines in his book "The Creative Act".
This is an interesting concept and philosophy. I feel like I'm on a similar path to what you describe at @6:33. In the beginning, I would always strive for the absolute cleanest image quality, even going so far as to pixel-peep to make sure my denoiser and post effects didn't take away too many fine details. Now I try to avoid the clinical look of digital and edit everything to emulate the imperfections of film.
My MA and your BA touch on a very similar subject (wabi-sabi, photography; and in my situation the Zen Arts). So glad I came across your TH-cam channel :-)
Your video is amazing! Beutiful shots. My favorite idea of this video is "Photography alows you to transform a little bit of time into a physical object..."
Hey Teo, just wanted to let you know that the I-2 is notorious for over exposing by 1-2 stops on full auto outdoors. The current fix is to set your exposure compensation to -1/3 or -2/3. Apparently a firmware update is coming soon to fix the overexposure. Mentioning this because I saw your settings noted as “Auto +0.0” on one of the overexposed images. I love your channel by the way. It seems we have similar tastes in music.
I have been following a similar path for a year. I take black and white photos. I use Polaroid and old analog cameras. Too detailed photos introduce unnecessary confusion. They distract attention from the essence of the matter. Great movie, great project, I'm impressed. Best regards, Grzegorz.
The pose for the first self portrait you took looks to me to be somewhat reminiscent of Robert Cappa's 1936 image "The Falling Soldier". That would certainly fit with the sense of the ephemeral nature of humans compared to the mountains.
I'm planning a 24-hour bus trip from Malmö, Sweden, to Innsbruck, Austria, and I'm really looking forward to photographing the mountains. Since this is a full-on photography trip for a project I'm doing for art school, I’m wondering if you have any other cool spots or experiences you'd recommend checking out along the way-preferably not the usual tourist hot spots. Any hidden gems or lesser-known places would be awesome to know about, nice video as always!
Ohh cool! Honestly the Nordkette is a tourist spot, but it's sooo worth it haha :D Otherwise here are a couple suggestions: - Lansersee and the Lanser Moor behind it with a nice rock with a couple paths to walk. - Kühtai, this is actually a Skiarea and I would particularly recommend going all the way to it, but the drive to it is amazing (there are busses too). My favourite spots are St.Sigmund im Sellrain and the last bit of the road before you enter the tunnels that take you to the ski resort. You'll recognise it from my videos haha :D - Stubaier Gletscher, this is a glacier close by. Could be busy but definitely not comparable to the Nordkette. - The STB tram that takes you to Fulpmes is a scenic ride - check it out on Google Maps :)
i’d actually love to read your thesis, wish it had an english translation! amazing video, as always! it made me want to capture the mountains of my country as well, maybe some time next summer. i love the texture of the pictures, is this the effect straight from the polariod camera?
Hi Teo I just wanted to say have honored I feel to have found you page your videos inspire me to want to do more photography. And potentially make videos about them myself. I feel like you need a shout out for your work
Thanks for another interesting video. I have a love/hate relationship with art criticism. On the one hand, explaining art can give it additional or new meaning deepening the impact or relationship with the art. On the other hand, the pure unmediated impression of the viewer is tainted by external interpretations and therefore lost.
Helloo! :) I've been working hard to produce this one together with Polaroid. I hope you enjoy joining me on today's journey.

I could listen to this man's voice for hours
lol literally came to the comments to say I would be content hearing him say "wabi sabi" on repeat
Saaame
Why am I having a hard time understanding him?
Agree
@@f.n.rapidc8 LOL. you are not the only one. I understand him but the way he speaks is opposite to the video. The video is about peace and calm with the voice of high speed robot talking.
The moment you throw fine art is the moment that you truly enter Art Photography.
The quality of this man’s videos is awe inspiring 😭

Exquisite video: the storytelling, your photography, the education, the quality of your speech and voice, the music,... It's all so good. Thanks man
That self-portrait was definitely the best photo. I absolutely love it!
This was such an inspiring, beautifully shot video! Utterly captivating photography.
The level of detail and mastery of your videos is astonishing. A barrage of images and ideas so elegantly and seamlessly assembled and presented. Amazing work
Couldn’t agree more!
This is so beautiful, as always taking us on a journey with you...I would love to follow you throughout this entire project
I love your view on photography. Every video of yours makes me think about the creativity in my life. I really appreciate you for sharing your views and thoughts with the world. Thank you for that!!!

Ive always thought of Color Photography as 'documentation' and Black and White as 'representation'

a very useful philosophy, I find, for creative ends. recognising when something is not perfect, but perfectly so
Wow... This was an absolutely incredible watch. I think you are my favourite photographer. Thank you for this video.
These came out great! I’ve never been a fan of Polaroid but your project is a great example of using them.
this was amazing. I am in love with the artistic style of the videography.
Another banger of a video Teo!! 🤩
You never fail to impress and inspire me in photographing journey.
Keep it up!🙌

Never stop, you are the reaon i shoot film❤
this was something like watching a well-planned documentary. My wife and I enjoyed couple mugs of coffee while watching this.
Really great video and philosophical approach to photography! Thanks for sharing!
Was feeling down today, and your videos always lift me back up. Love these photos and this concept, thank you🙏
Beautiful shots! I love your cinematography in this video

Loved the video my friend ~
What an inspiring and beautiful piece of work! Great!
Very cool. I love any project that consist of higher order thinking and deliberately planned concepts. More of this from the photography world.
Less shooting without true rhyme or reason.
Is it just me or is Teo's channel blowing up? much deserved!
Man why not this video have 50 million likes
Hi Teo, as a fan of polaroid, wabi-sabi and your channel, i found this video incredibly interesting, cool and pretty fucin funny! Great great video, i absolutely loved it!
I'm gonna be real. This video is one of my favourites you've made! Cannot wait to see where this project goes :)
This video is so liberating and inspiring. THANK YOU!

I was JUST thinking of investing in a polaroid camera and this video clinched the decision.

This was beautiful to watch.
I cant wait to see innsbrucks mountains with my own eyes 🤩
I'm a beginner. And I'm here to learn about photography & listening to ASMR at the same time. 🤟🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful and educational video, I love it! Thanks 😊
Your video is amazing! Beutiful shots. My favorite idea of this video is "Photography alows you to transform a little bit of time into a physical object..."

Aww thanks!🥹🫶🏼
Love these. Very interesting topic Teo.
U should do audiobook covers,ur voice is soothing
Love this and your work man
I'm shooting Instax since the beggining of 2022 and you're shots make me feel like I was shooting only the test shots for the whole time.
booking my i was here ticket for when this project is finished :)
shut up!!! i was literally looking for polaroid photography projects/series for the past few days.. THANKS FOR THIS 🤗🤗🤗
