Photographing A CONSPIRACY THEORIST
Irrespective of whether you have your work constructively reviewed; this channel is a must for any photographer - from 35 mm to large format; from beginner to a professional who has just worn out his third Nikon FM3A - there are pointers here for all.
Another fantastic insight and wonderful shots (from a fellow portrait photographer) - thanks so much the sharing and brilliant storytelling!
caught your Cocteau Twins video after you put it in the the CT subreddit. been binging your videos ever since! just upgraded from a point & shoot 35mm to a Canon AE1 & i can’t wait to properly invest in my photography. i’ve already learned a lot from you guys!
Ahh thats so good to hear! Thank you for the support I am glad you have been inspired! Maybe send in a portfolio for the next review? ;)
I disagree that I'm "throwing away the color gamut" because I favor B&W. If color isn't really a big part of the image that's a solid reason to go with B&W. True, its not a "technical" limit anymore to use B&W, but it is can still bring great results for many images.
I can see both sides. I still look at some digital B&W pictures and consider them great photos. But, I can also appreciate it can be used to save an average photo. I have used it when making videos too; if a particular shot's colour is off, sometimes I will just make it black and white.
More details of this amazing man please!!!
He is amazing! We have a few more snippets and information at the beginning of our latest portfolio review video!
What a great way to givenback. Look at new work, comment and the twist, publish the sessions. Great amplification.
Thank you, we really enjoy doing these videos! We will definitely do more in the future.
I love your channel. I’ve watched all the videos & can’t wait for more! They give a fascinating insight into portrait photography. Thanks.
Thanks Claire! 😀
Thank you!
I’m flattered to have been selected to have my folio reviewed/critiqued. I’m very grateful - and I’ll take heed of - those comments that you have made. Thanks. David
Thanks a lot for sending it in David. Really enjoyed checking it out with Harry, it was great. We would have loved to review each of the CVs longer just we had to try and fit as many in as we could.
Just watched Dave 👏🏻
All your videos are great, so informative, entertaining too, mini masterclasses. I'm an old pro', but still learning...
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the vids, plenty more on the way! :)
Thanks for another great video. Interesting to hear what makes a good portfolio and what some employers are looking for. I think there was a good variety of newer and more experienced photographers which makes for a good video.
Glad you enjoyed, although we were reviewing specific portfolios I felt as if there was a lot of good stuff for everyone in there. Thanks for watching!
Really useful, thank you both!
Glad you found it useful, thanks for sharing it with us Kenny. Was some awesome work, really loved the tearsheets from that era!
Excellent video as always, looking forward to your next one.
Cheers! Thanks for the comment :)
It's always great fun to listen to these nuggets of wisdom. On the topic of B&W photography, I think there's still a justification for it. I love colour but it can be distracting. Shooting B&W removes that distraction. I think of it as refining the picture, rather than taking something away. My first five years of photography I couldn't really afford colour photography, so I learned to love B&W out of necessity.
Very true. It was always B&W when I started. 🙂
Great video, thanks, such an insight
Thank you. 🙏
Thank you!
Marco is beautiful 😍 We also have a cockerdor called Byron. They are wonderful dogs 🐕 😊
Wry sense of humor? Who knew?
Beautiful film. I was really moved by it. Thank you for making it.
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching 😊
Very nice film portrait and tribute
Thank you for the kind words 😊
Beautiful Harry and Fred. Right down to the last frame.....make a thing!
Thank you! 😊
My sincerest thanks to you both for producing and posting such a beautiful homage to my dad. And that little story near the beginning of the movie was a surprise to me. Of course, I know he was Jewish (we're Sephardic), but I've never really heard him actually refer to himself as Jewish. It just never came up in conversation. And curiously, I'd never heard that story before. Huh. Another piece of his life's puzzle falling into place. And regarding the quality of the video itself, the quality of your photography, the nature of the lighting on Dad's face in the early interview, your gentle choice of music... Suzanne Clark (below) said it best: "You captured him perfectly." And you did. Thank you. It brought a tear to my eye.
Thank you! 😊This was shot while Harry was photographing Holocaust survivors around New York for his book, so potentially it jogged his memory! Either way, Al was a massive inspiration to Harry and we were so greatful to be able to make this video.
Another great video, I’m really enjoying the channel. Fred, any chance you could ask Harry what binders he uses to store those negatives. I’ve yet to find one that fits perfectly in a Kallax unit like that. Ha.
Harry begun using A4 binders but it didn't make sense since it didn't fit all his negatives' sizes. The ones featured in the video are cheap knock-off "kenro ring binder negative holders"!
Gorgeous and very touching. Thank you for doing this film, I'm not sure everyone has a momument like this to look at when they want.
We were so happy and moved that the Bensusens' enjoyed it 😊Thank you!
@@fredandharryborden It's for us to thank YOU. This was a great surprise to all of us;)
I reckon you got your own back by taking a pretty horrible picture of her!
😂 It's happened a few times. Boris Johnson comes to mind!
❤
This was beautiful to watch, I really appreciated that you chose to leave all the talking to him. A truly happy man, inspiring.
Thank you! 😊 Yes, we tried it with Harry doing a voiceover but Al is more then enough on his own.
What a gift. Thank you so much Harry. You captured Al perfectly. Thoughtful always and oh so humble! Never overly critical or apologetic for whatever he made. He also used the f...word better than anybody I know.
Thanks for the comment, we loved making this video and Harry still talks about how much an inspiration Al was to him and his work/work ethic.
If you didn't get the £1 you should sue her for your share of the proceeds from 'her' book.
I mentioned this to Harry, he isn't sure its worth the time!
You've made a beautiful thing about a man who made beautiful things, who will be remembered by those who knew him, and, thanks to you, many of us who have watched this beautiful thing. Thank you ❤❤
Thanks for the kind comment 😊
Great work, thank you ❤
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching 😊
Wonderful film and tribute of a truly happy man. Thanks Fred and Harry for this. ❤
Thank you!😊
You're a brilliant photographer and equally brilliant raconteur! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much 😀 Glad you enjoyed
Lovely...
Well done guys, excellent film making and through ‘making a thing’ you’ve allowed Albert to inspire and affect our lives… ‘It wasn’t there before I started…’ simply wonderful.., how many of us are now inspired by that one, simple, clever, heartfelt line? Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the lovely comment - I totally agree, we were also inspired by the man.
Brilliant, thank you
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Beautiful... can't wait to see more of these Fred :) Though, I have to say that I miss the usual narration by Harry a bit.
Thanks Jan! Don't worry, plenty of videos featuring more of Harry coming. ;)
@@fredandharryborden We tried it with me talking but we decided Al should be the focus. 😊
Very moving film ❤
Gorgeous film. Can you identify the quiet piano music at 09:23? Thank you.
Thanks for the kind comment. All the music was from the talented Yehezkal Raz. That one is 'shattered commune'.
@@fredandharryborden Thank you for the music reference; I see his music is readily available. The beginning of this film is especially poignant (the unanswered phone, Mr. Bensusen in bed) after having watched the film through.
Class. 👏
🙏🙏 Thnks Chris ❤
A beautiful film. May his memory be a blessing to you.
❤
Thank you 🙏
Thanks, that was wonderfully honest, fun, engaging and super interesting!
Thank you! We plan to do more podcasty style videos soon 😁
Great stories, glad you recorded them
Thank you!
He seems like a right prk. You are a true professional. Excellent photos considering the stressful wait. Really enjoying your channel. Such amazing insights.
Haha he was a pain to deal with for sure - Glad you are enjoying thanks for the comment
Wow i found out you did those dreamy Spice Girls photos. I always wondered how Geri ended up on the floor in her elvis outfit. Look forward to that story
Will definitely do the spice girls soon. Harry shot them a few times, he spent the week in Bangkok with them! - Thanks for the comment :)
Enjoyed this one as always. Still laughing at Harry's attempts to subtly get Dominic West to get his shirt off, and then dropping the photo editor in it- in the previous video. I know I've mentioned before, but is there any chance of pulling out one of Harry's first commissions- would be great to hear how he managed it, overcoming the nerves etc. Maybe comparing to one of the latest? One of the things I've always liked about Harry's work is his ability to design images around the environment. To what extent is that recci'ing the location before the shoot, versus instinctual? My last suggestion is a bit left field, but how about a live shoot, maybe with someone up and coming. A live shoot would show all aspects of the things Harry discusses- people management and social skills, design, lighting, and the rhythm. Maybe a tall order, but we can hope. Cheers, and thanks again for all the effort you both go to to bring these insights to light. D
Next week we have a special vid/short film which is more of a passion project for us but the week after I will make sure to push for his first commissioned job 😊 And there are lots of good ideas here thank you, when you say someone up and coming do you mean for the subject or another photographer? Either way Im sure it would make a good video!
@@fredandharryborden sounds cool. What I meant by "up and coming" was like an up and coming artist/musican/actor etc who might be more amenable to a longer video and more time. Anyway, look forward to the next, cheers. D
I’m loving these videos! I’m by no means a professional but I’m starting a little portrait project and your videos are really helping with how to go about them and how to work with people. I feel I’ve learned a lot.
I'm really glad, we love hearing people are taking something from our videos. Thank you!
@@fredandharryborden they’re amazing videos! I would love to see how Harry lights his shoots because it seems very subtle but effective.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will look into this but most often Harry likes to use natural light!
@@fredandharryborden I’d love to see how Harry gets such balanced images using natural light. But I’d also be interested in how he shifts to flash when necessary. These are the best videos I’ve seen in a long time. Incredibly useful!
Another fascinating video and interesting quotes too. It would be interesting to know which of your peers from around that era you admired.
It's a great question I'll have a think how to incorporate it into a new video :)
Wow. What a legend. Doesn't smile much though! I'd love a video where half is Harry talking about the shoot. And the other half, the subject looking back at the shoot from their perspective.
That would be really interesting, there would definitely be someone willing to do it just getting them to sit down and record can be so difficult haha. I'll have a think!
I was a young Canadian middle distance runner back in the 80s so Coe, Ovett, & John Walker were my heroes. Great story & photos.
Thank you!
2012 didn't reach anywhere beyond London, and definitely not up here in Scotland. Apart from that, your 'Breakdown' videos are magnificent lessons of the creative process in context and, of course, reminders of your work.
Yeah I've heard that was the case. Thanks for the kind comment as well!
