One of the reasons I love watching your videos is because I get the sense that you’re giving us permission to just go out and take photos and not try to create postcards from what we see but rather capture feelings, and instances that can evoke so many different types of emotions from home ever sees them
Thank you
"It's what happens when you are open to making mistakes" - best line here. Thank you for this video!
This is my first time here. I’m a brazilian begginer photographer. Your entusiasm is contagious.
Good video! The shadow in Webb's photo fascinated me the most
Great video. Web’s style is a unique combination of viewpoint, framing and use of a specific colour palette (especially yellows and turquoise). I can’t think of many other photographers whose style is so distinctive but also so natural and appropriate to the subject. Nothing about it feels forced, he’s not doing it to shout ‘look at my distinctive style!’ An exceptional talent.
Goes to show that mid-day sun can be used very effectively. There's no such thing as bad light...as someone, somewhere, once said.
I think we often take granted how easy it is to snap away with our digital cameras. These were done with film!
Wonderful colour and composition from Alex Webb - it is interesting to me given the existing fixation with 'front to back tack sharp' images that the 'softness 'of many of his pictures enhances rather than diminishes the impact
The sequence when you talk about photographs lacking “soul” and “life”. That was powerful and important.
I am glad I recently received this book from Amazon.
I love how Alex has an incredible eye for composition for filling the space with so much interesting components, and colours.
Because of your channel, that I came across early this year, I've been so inspired by photographers you've introduced me to. Alex Webb is probably my favourite, his photos hold my attention for so long, I get completely absorbed in them. Also because of you, I've been on the lookout for monographs and I was SO lucky this weekend that where I live (Nelson, New Zealand) there is a once a year massive second hand book fair and I picked up a few monographs for $2 each...one of them I was so excited to find, a hardback (first edition) of Alex Webs Hot Light / Half-Made Worlds... for $2!!!!!. Thanks Alex you have made quite a difference in my photography and my appreciation of photography!
That’s awesome. Thank you fr watching
Went right out and ordered the book. Wanted to really spend more time and absorb his images. Thanks for the intro❤️
Awesome
Hi, thanks to this video (and thanks to a video by Sean Tucker) about Alex Webb, I requested Alex Webb's book The Suffering of Light for Christmas. I am very happy with the book, because what a great photographer! Thanks for the tip!
I discovered Alex Webb via your channel a little while ago and his work has really inspired me think about composition more. I find that I'm spending more time with my subject/scene and I'm composing my images with much more intention. Thanks for another great video Alex!
Thanks for watching.
Thank you. All the best. 👍📷😎
I just reserved a book by him from the library. Thanks for bringing him to my attention!
Your welcome
Love his work!
Alex Webb definitely takes filling the frame to a whole new level! I like the picture of the guy looking through the hole in the roof while another person is walking on it. The 2d effect from the view-point of the camera capture really tickles the brain. Now, off topic a bit, I thought of a topic you could possibly discuss. I was at a busy playground and lakefront park capturing moments of my wife and two children while on vacation, when a lady approached me asking in an aggressive way "Excuse me, do you have children here at the park?" I was in shock for a few moments and remained silent because I knew exactly why she was asking such a loaded question. As she was calling the police, I calmly walked over to my wife and I said to her, "This lady thinks the worst of me". Overhearing the last bit of the conversation between the lady and police, she then hung up the phone and left the park. The police did show up but remained in their car observing, only to leave shortly after. Maybe discuss a "what to do if this happens to you" kind of video. Just an idea of course because I sure don't know what to do and I have a feeling it happens a lot; A huge mix of emotions for sure. Anyways, enough of that.
Great content Alex, I really do enjoy watching your presentations. Cheers!
Sorry to hear you had that experience. Thank you for watching.
Thank you Alex for the informative and inspirational videos
Thanks for watching
Hoy me tío es a meeting in Italy. More detalla please.
Yes! Inky shadow!!
I know it’s called “The Photographic Eye”, but it could as easily have been “The Joy of Photography”, because that’s what you convey. You seem like someone who is absolutely tickled and thrilled by the pictures and that is communicated in every video.
Great thought provoking video. Something you didn't mention about Alex Webb's images is the fact that they make you stop and look, to figure out the scene, to make sense of the image. This is so important in the modern day when we see countless images that are perfectly exposed and following all the rules, that we just scroll through them endlessly on social media. You couldn't scroll through these images without stopping for a closer look. Cheers from New Zealand.
Got that book a few weeks ago, it was surprisingly cheap for such a big and beautiful item.
A great review of a great photographer. I really enjoyed watching this episode!
Thanks for watching
Very smart, very cool, hugely original. Art.
informative 17mins. interesting conceptually, looks a great book to look through.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely stunning example of capturing the viewers attention and keeping them engaged for as long as we can.
Thank you for introducing me to Alex Webb. Wow
Your welcome, thanks for watching
Very good video ! thanks !
Thank you
Thanks!
Master of "Staging Photography" !!!
You think he does?
Great photographer Great photos selection Great comments and "reading" insights of yours
Thank you
Greetings from Pakistan. What a powerful story telling of a master photographer, Alex Webb. You really made the style and technique of Alex jump out at the audience through his book. Thank you for introducing a great photographer trough your excellent style.
Awesome, thank you
Alex Webb is all about juxtaposition. Unique work and counterintuitive.
Great video. You are so good!
Thank you
It seems that he favors wide angle lenses. I'm guessing at least a 35mm and possibly wider. It's tough to achieve the layering that he gets without using a wide angle lens that will accentuate/exaggerate spacial depth.
I have three medium format cameras in different formats on my wheelchair loaded with color film. I shoot color only, if the color is the reason I'm taking the picture. Since I live in Germany, this usually means, that I develop one color film a month the most. Black and white film (another four medium format cameras on my wheelchair) I usually develop a film a week. (My main picture taking is with a 5x7 large format camera, which I exclusively use to create black and white reverse paper positive street portraits.)
When I see those colorful pictures from Webb out of the Caribbean, Latin America or Africa, I get a bit jealous. My country is more shades of grey and muted colors than than bright happy colorfulness, and because of my health I cannot travel to the colors anymore. So I just try to make the best out of that situation - what leads to approx. one full color film a month after all, sometimes even two.
Everytime I watch one of your fascinating videos i'm compelled to buy one of these monographs, Simply brilliant essays on photography and the artist who make them but now I will proceed with caution. thank you for the education. Benji Reid.
Thank you
alex on alex 👌
We are trying to get a story in our images this guy gets at least 2 or 3 story's in one image. Just stunning clicks.
One of the strongest EYES on the world! thanks for this insight!
My pleasure! His work is awesome
What are your ten favorite photography books? A video on those would be quite interesting
I bought this book a while ago and honestly didn’t understand it. I have come back to it 2 or 3 times in recent months and it has become one of my favourites. It dragged me away from B&W and to experiment with strong colour. Excellent video (and enjoyed your chat with Alister too. Known him a long time.)
Would you please tell me which book this is? I’m interested in picking it up.
@@gabrielgavalo5601 it is called The Suffering of Light. I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you
Great
You mentioned a meeting in Italy. More details please.
Any chance to have you in Italy again?
We are also lucky that you are there to explain these concepts to us. Btw did the trip to Italy happen?
Thanks for watching.
Unfortunately for various reasons outside of my control it had to be postponed.
@@ThePhotographicEye that's too bad. Maybe you will come to India one of these days.
14:27 to 14:37 looks like "The Old Guitarist" by Picasso.
have you heard of Gustavo Minas ? I think that he's been inspired by Webb, but I like his work even better....
What's the pin you're wearing?
It’s Woodstock ☺️
Hi Alex. I am missing your engagement when you post a question like the other day about what each of us might be watching on TH-cam. I'm aware of that this new feature of yt is tempting.... But the lack of your response and thoughts makes these post rather dull and doesn't motivate me to engage further. I do hope that you will take this comment not as a critic but considering the content... People like to get in touch. It's all down to Maslows Pyramid. Everyone wants to be seen and heard. A powerful way to grow audiences. Take care and keep up the excellent work 🙏
Thank you for your comments and for watching the channel. I will endeavour to be more present. Thank you ☺️
I should do mini projects imitating photographers. I'd love to try to imitate Alex Webb.
I do not understand his brain. I would give up 20 years of my life if i could have his skill starting at 18 years old. I just don't get how his brain works
This time I’m not impressed-these are snapshots to me. Sorry
I am not impressed by this photos of Alex Webb. I think that they are highly overrated
It must be really exhausting to talk so enthusiastically about such bad photos - with all these pictures you have the impression that you have given a twelve-year-old a point and shoot camera and he just snaps everything that comes in front of his lens, Much more interesting would be the question of the management behind this allegedly so famous photographer because if you become famous with such pictures you need a good manager because the photos can't be that.
Please look up the recent works of the photographer naming sharonharris. She takes some surreal photographs using homemade pinhole cameras. Am sure you are going to love it.
Thank you.
