    The grain is mostly due to the GRII high contrast black and white preset rather than high ISO.

    • @jurgenvanhest9913
      @jurgenvanhest9913 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I believe it can be done with a very high ISO and a ND-filter, or as you say with post in PS/LR.

      The GR is nothing special. It can be done perfectly easy with any dslr, especially older dslr's with a more limited dynamic range.

    This is a great idea - to take the work of a photographer with a specific unusual style, and explain how they achieved the look. However no matter how much you master the technical side, it requires a long term devotion to a particular style to become as good as Olga. I once spent two months photographing Paris deliberately out of focus (not moving) to get an impressionistic style. Even though I took hundreds of such photos deliberately every day during that time, the number of keepers were relatively few. When it works it's beautiful; but just moving the camera or defocusing the lens is just the beginning.
    The message to anyone who wants to try working "outside the box" is find a style you like and then explore it extensively.
    I really enjoyed the video. Thank you.

    I bought the trilogy. She is quite amazing. We love the books. The thing is, her images are very evocative and emotionally charged. They aren't just ICM photos for the sake of getting blurry photos. Anyone can take blurry photos. If you look at her work you will see creative genius at work.

    • @darrengodssonfielding
      @darrengodssonfielding ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Completely agree. We may be able to imitate the style but we would never be able to imitate the creative thought & emotion she pours into her work. But we most certainly can learn from her and apply some degree of her style to our own images.

    It's NOT ABOUT HAVING A DISTINCT STYLE! It's about having a honed visual interest (love). The style takes care of itself. Find out what you actually like. See what opens the door.

      @@39exposures I found with Guitar, early on you spend your time trying to mimic/learn 'how x plays guitar", then you spend the next load of time trying to shed sounding too much like someone else lol (unless that's your thing of course), otherwise the only feedback you get is "That's cool it sounds like you've been listening to a lot of Jimi Hendrix buddy" and that's not what I want.

      I may sound like a replayed answering machine recording, but here goes. When I first started with another artistic endeavor, my teachers always said, don't copy my style, have your own. If you were drawn, as a beginner, to that person in the first place, of course you are going to copy their style. An artist's growth includes many factors and influences, and I agree, follow your passions and your style will find you. The resulting in an interesting paradox. Style, becomes "brand" - which can be important for financial success or even recognition, but it "locks" the artist into a perspective box.

      @dreamscuba, I don't know if I "like" her work or not; this is the first I've known of her. But looking at her work, I AM sure it deserves more of my time and thought to form an intelligent response to it.
      Meanwhile, I agree about liking a photograph that gives me a feeling like a painting. The great painters of the past have much to teach the digital photographers of today. Rembrandt and his exquisite use of light and shadow take the viewer's eye where Rembrandt wants it to go. The impressionists. Etc.
      In our personal libraries, to inspire and instruct us, it may well be that we should give as much shelf space to books showing the works of great painters and sculptors as of great photographers. Just a thought.

    Sharpness is the last thing I think of when I take a photo. It seems the higher than megapixel count goes the more people forget the art of photography itself. I draw more than take photos and even in that media it is more about the work as a whole rather than just making it "clean" or "neat". I want to have fun in the process and show a little of myself in my work.

    • @oneeyedphotographer
      @oneeyedphotographer 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I like high megapixels for the opportunity to crop. Sometimes it's an alternative to a zoom lens, sometimes it's essential to get the artistically correct aspect ratio, sometimes for alternative compositions.
      Almost never a bigger print.
