@developingtank Another fine video. I had no idea about Raghu Rai - and how stunning his photos are! These disaster photos are heart-breaking - specially the one with the buried kid.. I know you probably keep an idea log of sorts, but I gotta come and make a recommendation, just in case you're not into it or planning yet: you should look into and make a video about Olga Karlovac. If you're not aware of her work, let me tell you: you're in for something quite stunning...

Awesome! Thank you for your work, i'm discovering so many new photographers with you. Please keep going!

Such a powerful video-thank you for making this! I’m excited for my deep-dive into postwar Japanese photographers now.

Thank you for picking up Raghu Rai

Apologies if this comment appears twice .. This was a lot more than the content of the video. I had a good think about my own photography after watching. I left it 24 hours and then wrote down the purpose and direction. It’s a personal exercise so it’s not for sharing, I was brutally honest with myself and didn’t use the BS we (I) put in our social media. Words like validation and enjoyment show the negative and positive of the process. If nothing more comes of the exercise then it’s still worth while. Introspection can be hugely important in our own growth. Great video, it’s not often any on RUclips prompts me to follow up a question posed from me watching it. Bravo.

I just came back from a trip to Tokyo. I saw a copy of issue 6 in Tsutuya in Ginza the day before we flew back, continued browsing thinking I'd pick it up on my way out, then when I returned to the photo book section it was gone. Lesson learned.

Am glad you covering photographers from other parts of the world and not just US and Europe? Pls continue and also look into African togs. Cheers.

Thanks for your work. You’re one of the few people who actually gets this medium.

Man, thank a lot for what you are doing here! It is a treasure channel to explore

Really enjoyed this one. Such amazing colour work for someone who went there because magazines started requesting it. Truly inspirational.

Thank you for giving some attention to Rai. Even though he is a Magnum member and has been published in the a lot of Western publications in the past, I think his work is not so accessible in the West. For example, fellow Magnum member Harry Gruyaert’s photobook on India is easily obtainable but it’s harder to find Rai’s work on his country in the US right now.

I'm going to keep repeating how amazing your work is for this genre and community. Thanks you, especially for exploring photographers beyond just America and Europe.

Wonderful infos

Easily my favorite RUclipsr out there

You continue to be one of the best channels on on instagram.

Another great clip, this channel is criminally underrated

Amazing, thank you!

That first minute share, felt like it was me talking..as I deeply resonate with what he shared. The viewfinder did something to my soul, and surely where I come from lives through my photos made. Thanks again for posting this sort of content. You are appreciated !

One of your best episodes. Thank you.

Great documentary!

Wonderful video. Will you be doing some more on W. Eugene Smith, mainly his Jazz Era.

great video! just wondering, does anyone know what filmstock smith used? it would be interesting to know how he managed his exposures as most of his images are such high contrast

Hello! I searched for ’Seoul Street Photo‘ and saw your video! The quality and feel of the picture are so good! 4:44 DDP was actually Dong-dae-moon stadium for soccer and baseball etc. After Jam-sil stadium was built, this place was changed to Historical and cultural park. It has become a popular spot for various fashion events by sticking to the stadium site :) Thank you for taking a good look at DDP with such a history!

Glossy journalism.

Well done!

Thanks for this really outstanding and deep episode in photography. I admire that hard work you put into these. 👍

Mr Koudelka makes me feel proud to be Czech:)

Thank you for another informative, educational and inspiring video.

Yes. YES!!!

Take note. Don’t love your wife too much.

Nice to hear a high level of engagement about art. A reminder that the thinking behind an art work is as crucial as the finished product.

I'm a museum framer, I'm so fortunate to frame all his original works as my daily job. ❤ He also my inspiration on color photography as well. 😊

Love your vision, I'll be here to witness it and participate. I agree and have experienced myself that idea of photographs having to "look good" to be good instead of having deeper meaning. My aim is to follow your journey as well as my own in finding deeper meaning in my works.

I greatly appreciate what you are doing with your channel to help motivate deeper reflection on images, image making, and so on. This will definitely lead to more conversations on the subject. Keep it up! Were any of these essays you referred to available online, or were they pulled from the books in your collection?

In london we had various large exhibitions on Japanese photographers and movements. At the Photographers Gallery. Have you been? Its am essential spot for any image maker / academic/ On our MA course we read, leave leave realism to the camera and the rest, to painting. Its been an on going conversation in academia. On a slight tangent. Brian Duffy also burned all his negatives. One of the most famous photographers in the 60s onwards. He stopped taking photos after this event.

homie please keep making these videos i very much appreciate them and learn a lot every time

I had never heard of Nakahira's “Circulation” installation. It is truly brilliant and thouroughly modern - essentially a live Instagram page in 1971! Fascinating. A truly important artist

Love this one. I am dealing with these thoughts myself right now, what is the point of a photo, a snapshot vs a considered piece, a phone shot vs large format analogue. My gut says all are valid, even though aesthetically I might not appreciate one over another. Aesthetics vs subtext or meaning vs no meaning at all other than representation. There is something in photography that has me hooked right now, maybe because I still haven't discovered how to engage with it other than at it's surface level but knowing there is way more if I can just find the way of expressing it in an emotional vs representational way. Limiting palette in the creation of the photo but then the myriad of ways it can go from there in presentation, being sublimated into other things and growing as a piece other than just the photo. And ,can that live happily beside a simple photo that is just a representation or a freezing of a moment for posterity.? It's exciting to thing about and I'm excited to experiment and fuck up and find things in the failures. These vids are hitting the spot. Thanks a million.

“What size do you print to?” My most common question I ask a photographer upon meeting them as to me, the enduring image speaks whereas the temporary image is mere transient commentary into a great and rushing wind.

I have been working on straight documentary of untracked Northland NZ bush. One comment early in your narrative caught my attention, the fact that memory of experience is very vague and based on the emotions of the experience that, where the detail is so chaotic, only an image can restore the reality, and therefore becomes worth taking time to study. (Confirmation of the direction I have been heading in - the final work will be printed to be held in the hand.)

thanks for bringing japanese photography (both by women & men) to the western public!

Love this one. Thank you for pushing the discussion in an artistic and cerebral way rather than technical. Keep going!

Great work your doing!

Isn't it interesting that Nakahira seemed to work even better once he declared an "enemy?"

OH MY GOSH! The daily thing. Oh wow. Printing like that. That's just astounding. I'm looking over at my Canon Selphy CP1500. I can't even imagine it from the old days doing the chemical process. 2000000000000? 200? WTF? That's insane. I love to death how he arranged his photos. I can't tell if it's my artistic sense or just that I'm kind of lazy and I don't want them to narrate that way. I like the concept more of the live draft. (Damn, "live draft" is a really cool concept.) You make my brain think so much. We're in it. It's 2025 already. What the hell. It'll be 2030 next week.

Good luck with you efforts and the channel! But don't burn yourself out.

❤ Thank you for yet another great video! Happy New Year 2025!

Where do you stand on Nakahira’s photography? Has your photography changed dramatically over time or evolved within the same style?

Another great Developing video. Thanks!

Photography is the artful convergence of technical precision and creative vision, enabling one to distill the essence of a moment, subject, or emotion into a timeless visual narrative that transcends language and culture.
