Love this comparison. It's true, producing a good body of photo work doesn't require a lot of technical skill, it just requires a solid vision or purpose. I find myself often worrying too much about composition or lighting and this leads to me ignoring whole sets of photos with good subject matter that fit into a better theme. In the future I think a lot of us will have photos we don't realize were great because we just didn't see the theme at the time and didn't hone in on that.
absolutely man. I've seen Daido in interviews and if there's anything he doesn't do is second guess himself. He just takes the shot and just knows it'll be handy later at some point.
You've said what came to mind when I first heard of this "controversy". I watched a few photographers burn him down and insult his work, pointing out why this and this and this doesn't work. But as I looked at the images, I saw them as what I think Beckham intended, to be snapshots of his life. I didn't think there was any intention of claiming equal greatness with the greats, that'd be another story. He happens to have the chance to publish his photos and they're windows into his unique perspective (as with anyone's). It doesn't have to be good to be put out there, it's a start. I have invested interest in this because I'm finding that it's worth it to just make photos and as time goes by, I feel I'm getting a little better; at least, I like photographing more. As you say, "it's the desire to commit oneself to the topic". This video resonates, thanks for that!
yeah man I don't really believe in bashing new photographers. I understand he obviously dipped out of being a photographer publicly since but I thought his book had some good lessons for other photographers and myself included.
There are one or 2 that may have some vague aesthetic, compositional or artistic quality. It promotes photography for younger photographers to “have a go” but the key phrase here is that “he jumped the queue” in my opinion. As the old saying goes, “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know”
These nepo kids have the chance to do literally anything they want. He chose photography and as a result more people around the world are interested in photography. This can only increase the cultural value on photography, and photography books. As a photographer this is a net positive for you. Whether or not the photos are any good can and will always be debated. I can understand the reaction that comes from a place of jealousy, like you said, he got to 'skip the queue', so by all means be mad, but be mad at celebrity culture and nepotism, not at the kid persuing a niche interest and shining some publicity light on it.
Daido is a pioneer of street photography. His work isn’t about any one photo it’s commentary on lots of social issues. His voice comes through in the sequencing. Beckham’s book could just be someone’s iPhone gallery. He doesn’t have any understanding of sequencing. Which means his work has no voice.
@@davinozen 森山's photography is the Emperor's new clothing. Blurry, shaky, out of focus, poor composition, and high contrast without tonality. He's an embodiment of why modern art is so bad. But he's too famous, everyone has to pretend he's good because speaking out would effect how others think of you. Peopke target Beckham because he's an easy target, there's no repercussions calling out his bad photos.
Wtf does Gaga know about cameras?!
hahahhaha Kanye gotta point though
Thanks!
you freaking legend

Great video, editing, personality, humor, and idea. Would've sworn this video had 50k+ views at least
Give it a share and it might get that many views 😛 thanks for watching and appreciate the support 🙏
ZAin, glad to see you more active on the Tube. This was a great episode. Nicely said :)
Thank you for sticking around!
Picking one thing to say. That is the key and you nailed it!
appreciate it bro!

Interesting video...well done!
Many thanks!
This video, in my humble opinion, is a return to form for you.
I'll take that as a compliment... thank you.

Haha appreciate the comment but I’m not hating on BB. I’m just saying things other people say to make my point. Appreciate the comment though 🙏
@@ZainRiza Oh I didn't mean to imply you were! This is a 'to whom it may concern' type comment :D
It's funny that when I saw Brooklyn Beckham's photos, I immediately thought of 森山大道. I hate their photos equally.
haha ok then

everything in that book should have been a very forgettable instagram post instead, its a book, of shit photos that should have been posts
Nice try. The photos in the book were lazy. It didn’t seem like much thought was given in making the images.
Did you watch the video?
I loved downvoting you.
Umm cool? Not sure what to say.
