    Finally, after many years, I was able to find a channel that doesn't show a kid right out of the diapers, repeating street photography rules that were said decades ago, showing off their latest gear but not one single useful word about art. Thank you so much for giving quality references and presenting these artists with the respect they deserve. I hope it serves as a true inspiration to newcomer photographers and that it teaches them to look at the images that are everywhere instead of keep looking at their gear.

    This is what TH-cam content should be, but rarely is. Your channel is able to be both informative and meaningful, and that's a huge feat of talent

    When you mentioned how much he utilized winter conditions I expected you to end it there and advise we give that a try. The next thing I know you’re waiting 2 months till winter to actually demonstrate using Sol Leiter’s techniques in winter - RESPECT 👏👏👏

  • @UndinesOcean
    @UndinesOcean 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +25

    I'm not a photographer, but I watched till the end like my life depended on it!
    While I was staying dry and cosy under the blanket, you went out there, shot in different conditions, and brought up all these brilliant ideas. Impressive work, and I loved the quoted interview in the end, as a conclusion. ❤

  • @jimphilpott902
    @jimphilpott902 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +101

    You have done a masterful job with Saul Leiter, capturing both style and technique. The atmosphere of colors, frames, and reflections is reminiscent of the master you are attempting to emulate. I think this is one of your best efforts in imitative photography.

  • @RighteousNacho
    @RighteousNacho 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Out of all of the photos, the most intriguing one for me was the top-down shot during winter of the woman and the walker. The minimalist use of empty space was quite captivating. ❤

  • @followtheboat
    @followtheboat 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    Another excellent video. There are so many TH-cam photography charlatans, self-labelled street photography 'experts' and vloggers with hundreds of thousands of subscribers who only ever produce very average work accompanied by crappy video content. The influence they hold frustrates me when there are far better and more educational channels like yours out there. The time and effort you spend both researching and then photographing, not to mention editing, is to be commended. Yours is one of those channels all photographers should watch, be they experienced or new because, if nothing else, you inspire us to go out and experiment. Keep up the great work.

  • @caroleduhaime9223

    Bravo. Leiter is my favorite photographer. But I seem to be overwhelmed when i think of trying to do something similar. But, your concentrating on anchor and abstract, red and yellow, negative space and nostalgia is a smart way to start. Your commentary, stories and photos are an inspiration. Looking forward to the next rainy day.

  • @desoriordan9515
    @desoriordan9515 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    A great video, Saul Leiter's work makes me wish I could have lived in those times for some reason. But the job of any photographer, hobbyist or professional, is to document the world as it is when they are alive. Leiter certainly did this to perfection. Keep up the great work.

  • @AlanBrownPhotography
    @AlanBrownPhotography 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

  • @kaedama.
    @kaedama. 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

    Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed this. My photographic style naturally tends to lean this abstract way of reflections, layers and obscurity but I always feel like I’m doing things “wrong” - perhaps I just observe things unusually. Loved your video style of discussing the history, showing Saul’s work and going out to experiment with it yourself. ✨

    Thank you so much for introducing me to Saul Leiter! I am a photographer and will admit, I don't follow much if any photographer outside of one - Jim Brandenburg. I've loved Wolves since I was young. He is a master at that. But he's also someone that didn't take conventional shots. Which attracted me even more.
    Now, this is something that is more MY style. I look forward to learning more about Mr. Leiter. And becoming more of one to go into oblivion. 😉
    Your winter shots from above got me emotional. Made me a little homesick for Chicago. Some of the best winters I've ever experienced. I also think you did a fantastic job with your "imitation" shots. Oh and great editing in regards to this video!!!
