    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!

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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    • @xbloosaber
      @xbloosaber 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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)

  • @on_philm

    Beautifully explained and really interesting! I didn't about Wabi-Sabi, but see parallels in some of my photographs as well.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    • @teocrawford
      @teocrawford  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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 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.
