    Your research is impressive, not only of the artist but in the recreation as well. True dedication!!

    Sensational work, I've found myself disinterested in Photography content due to the constant screaming match for publicity, but you were made for this. And I can tell you're doing it because you want to. The research, narration, the re-creation, all top tier. Your content is a gem in a field of rocks.

      Right? People try to be so profound or loud and obnoxious or different for the sake of being different. This is a breath of fresh air.

    I love these details you find and include, like the fact he used 100 rolls of film to get the bus shot. You hear similar stories about other photographers and the vast amounts of film they used trying to capture their most iconic work as well… it speaks to the dedication and work ethic of the photographer.

    This was such a great feature on Trent Parke! I didn't know about him until this video. His work is gorgeous, thanks for spotlighting him! It was also really inspiring seeing you try to recreate his images.

  • @bilaltariq2364
    @bilaltariq2364 11 месяцев назад

    This is so amazing and inspiring. I remember when I began getting interest in photography and visual art, it was mainly through photoshop tutorials and imitation that I was able to develop my skill. Over the course of years, the learning has been through theory but that doesn't translate in creating pictures; it just improves them with a more critical eye. Imitating peers was one solid grasp but then its not too dignifying when you are just imitating your peer and becoming a second copy.
    A second copy of great industry leaders is another thing. So much to learn just in the process even if you fail to imitate it entirely. Elevates your skill to really high level, makes your work stand out, and even gives you that sense of how to approach the artform.

    @bruce-le-smith Год назад +2

    fantastic, thank you. one thing that is still impressive about Parke's image of the shadows on moving traffic, is that there are perfect little people inside the larger shadow shapes... that part still blows my mind. your recreation definitely helps me start to understand it thought, thanks again. i can see why Parke said he didn't even understand what he was photographing or how it was happening. very cool

    90% of the photography content on RUclips is completely useless. I don't gain anything useful from it. You're in that 10% that is useful. What you do is brilliant actually. Most people know the basics but have trouble moving to the next level. The breakdowns you give of famous photographers' techniques give us ideas on how to make better images. Great stuff!

    I have done something similar to the glowing man since seeing this the first time. I used figures in coloured clothing, then processed in LrC. In black and white, I adjusted the brightness of select colours, and the overall exposure to get the dark look.

  • @rogerhyland8283
    @rogerhyland8283 Год назад

    Thanks for this. Great mini documentary and great tutorial on creating the shots. It was interesting that Trent Parke said he couldn’t replicate it and even better for the insight that when you can’t repeat something you know you’ve really got something special. Im not in his league obviously but when I think of the shots Ive taken that I feel are something special, they are all something that you only get once.

    The first picture of the recreation of the glowing man image is a very, very solid picture on its own. On the first glance it's confusing, what is the person looking at, what is going on in the background? But I think it's missing a vital part of the original: the shadow of the glowing man. Perfectly fitting in the sun shaft. Connecting his appearance to other passengers and giving this perfect negative flip to his original glowing silhouette.

    I lived in Newcastle and was surprised to see it mentioned after watching just two of your videos haha. I love the Moving Bus piece but feel the recreation of that one lacks the overlapping silhouettes. To me it kinda conveys some form of contrasting dominance, the trio larger than the rest on the left as they fade off to the right. Art is obviously subjective and I'm sure it wasn't the intent but yeah I can really get something out of it being how relaxed Newcastle is and how busy Sydney is.
