    Great work! Thank you for a breath of a fresh air in the world where 95% of photography videos are just “another new gear came out” reviews

      I agree! Most RUclips photography channels are about how to edit for a "Instagram bangers". This channel is on another level

      Totally. I have rarely seen any discussion on the internet about photographers. Ted Forbes does on his channel 'The Art of Photography' but he doesn't try to channel Titarenko like here.

    • @K3zz21

      @@thethirdman225Another channel I suggest is "The Photographic Eye." It's strictly about photography ideas and exercises and entirely absent of gear reviews.

    Using the IR technique was an interesting spin on this. Titarenko’s stuff is really low contrast, and I think that helps the stationary parts of his subjects - the hands, feet, or figures - to stand out better from the background. The IR creates a lot of extra contrast that I think pulls the attention away from this - but you never know unless you try!

      I am also thinking that the infrared technique may be actually working against the impact of those images.

      Have we noticed the time frame during which the original photographer made his images and the other tried to imitate the technique in a different time span when we have a different looks for the happenings in the world! Titarenko was successful in creating the gloom around the picture frame whether they are in the clear or in the blur zone and that melancholy touched us from every part of the frame and the vastness of the medium format authenticity of closing in on every element of a picture equally hit us to the core! But we cannot take away the method of Titarenko being so wonderfully recreated by an apsc digital camera! Although the period of time span and themes are different and the motion blur had been typically suited to the given situation the atmospheric glee in the these photographs held back the pathos in the overall situation in the thematic representation of project! But it's startling the old man in clear relief with his watching figure toward the moving protesters, wonderful; although it is compared with nearly similar shot o Titarenko, this has the personal touch of your creativity which proves your mettle as a potential photographer! Want more from you!

    This is superb. It shows how thought, planning, preparedness, and pre-visualization are used to create something spectacular. I also like the creative thought behind using infrared to tie the image to the theme of the subject matter. 👏👏👏

    Brilliant. You're inclusion and respect for Titarnko's art, and your gentle touch at recreating not only his technique but his sensibility here is wonderful. Sharing your process - finding still figures to act as foreground, etc are much appreciated. Heading into Toronto tomorrow for a day of experimenting with long-exposure shots, and now I have a nice image of what can be achieved! Thank you!

    I just came across your channel and wanted to say thank you for such amazing work! Often I find it difficult to understand how photographers achieve specific results as I have poor technical skills, and you are so good at explaining. And I love how although you are imitating a specific photographer, you are giving your own perspective to it and coming up with something unique and beautiful. Can't wait to go out there and experiment! I hope you'll stay around youtube cause your content is just what we need!

    Stands out a mile from the usual click bait photography videos that try to scare you it into clicking with “you’re doing it wrong titles”.
    Please keep making these man, expanded my photography knowledge tenfold!

  • @theomaksor851
    @theomaksor851 Год назад

    I really enjoyed this . Your focus on the emotions behind 'the shot' is just what we need in this technology driven world. Just the past few weeks I have been returning to my photographic roots which began in the 1960/70's . After a long career behind increasingly complicated cameras now down to 'simple' Leica Sl with old Leica R lenses, the perfect amalgamation of top quality digital with old style lenses ., as a result I found the creative 'amateur' mojo I lost so long ago.
    And that is what your work is all about , finding 'one's self' by expressing emotions in one's imaging.
    Thanks again , you reinforced my choice.

    Great video and photos mate, really enjoying your channel. I’m using and exploring long exposure during gig photography, particularly in smaller venues when the whole crowd is jostling and jumping and standing still is not an option! I’m loving the energy and rawness of this approach. The resulting images feel like distant memory and half remembered dreams, much like how I feel about Titarenko’s work.
