Another great video. I just discovered your channel thanks to the surprisingly excellent TH-cam algorithm. Thanks for promoting great photographers for us to all learn from. I'm very inspired by those you have focused on so far. My favourite part of George Georgiou's parades work, is how he realised that the most fascinating subject at these parades was not the parade itself, but the humans viewing it. A good reminder to always question what is the most fascinating subject in an environment, and to sometimes just turn around. Thankyou again, and keep it up!!
Thank you for these videos man, they are amazing. Really interesting and also, fun to watch. I'm trying to get into proper photography(i film, edit and write stuff but it's hard af to convey something in one frame, or, well, one photo) and you introduce me to new, meaningful artists. I find that 90% of all photographers i know just produce meaningless photos, stuff for social media and nothing else. Things that are either conventionally beautiful or conventionally ugly. (to be counter-culture) Anyways, how can I learn about new photographers? How do YOU learn about them? Keep these "how to photograph like" series going, they are really, really nice vids. Cheers!
Thanks man! I mainly learn about new photographers through books. The library card is an underrated tool, and you can see the images as many of the photographers intended (at least those who made photobooks).
@@ImitativePhotography Damn, I think that's a good idea. There aren't that many good, big, libraries where i'm from but it would be good to check out. Thank you, dude.
@@ImitativePhotography See whether you can find books by Richard White, he was an Australian large format landscape photographer until the last. I used to buy his calendars, until he died rather young 2-3 years ago. Also, Peter Adams (Who Shot That, A Few of the Legends). The latter was a project of almost 40 years.
Just found your videos and love your presentation. I have been a big fan of Titarenko for some years now, and found you video replicating his work insightful. Keep on shooting these - I find myself learning from each.
I think the reason Georgiou sticks to b&w, rather than creating a uniformity between different locations, is to overcome the challenge of finding a colour-harmonious composition in a set up that's very momentary and unplanned, which he cannot prepare for. it was immediately visible to me in your images, for me the colour made them a little too over stimulating. I found it harder to pay attention to the behaviour of the spectators as there were many strong colours that outshone much of the other details. however, you did apply some colour filter on your final shots which significantly helped with that, I think it's just a similar trick to Georgiou's to achieve the same effect. + as he shoots digitally too, when you switch to b&w, in editing, you get a chance to darken channels and brighten others. which he could've used for his favour, highlighting common details amongst a large crowd, that he finds more relevant
Many things are problematic here. Georgiou had no ideology in mind, he tried to reveal something else he didnt know in advance. Here you tried to shoot stereotypes. That's a major difference to me. When you look at Georgiou photographs you cant really say what is the event. Georgiou work is about individualism merged into crowd. Here you tried to show communities, the purposes are very different.
I really like this series of yours but if you're doing imitative stuff then do it rather than letting your own (somewhat woke emotions) get in the way. The guy deliberately meant his images to be b&w for a reason. So you should have respected that.

The last one looks more iconic than the first two, great job! I've enjoyed all your content...
Thanks for showing us great and interesting photographers. Quite inspiring. 🙏✊✊✊
very informative! Going to photograph santa parade in TO
Another great video. Congrats and looking forward for the next one. Cheers
Cheers and thanks for the support!
Incredible, I learnt about photography AND anthropology in one video
Although that shots at the end didn't exactly mirror Georgiou's parade work - I found them even more interesting
Just found your channel and I’ve already watched 4 videos. Really like your content!
Thanks!
“It would be criminal to shoot pride parade in B&W” lol
Entertaining and informative, thank you! :)
