Dear Ms. Hopper. As the daughter of Ernst Haas, I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful video on my dad and his photography. He would have loved it so much. To see young people enjoying and inspired by his work is so amazing. Yes he was a painter in a hurry but he adored photography and he loved poetry. Thank you so much from the Haas family.
Hello! Thank you so much for taking your time to the video. I greatly appreciate your words and it was an absolute honour to be able to talk about Mr. Haas’ work. He has been one of my inspirations & one of my best teachers even if I’ve never met him, his photography goes above and beyond.
What I loved about your father, Victoria, was his delightful, irreverent sense of humor, his love of music and philosophy, his ability to create order out of disorder, and his willingness to always try new things. He was my mentor, and I will forever be grateful for that and forever sad that he died before he and his lady were going to join me in New Hampshire during an exhibit at Dartmouth's Hood Museum to photograph in the only state in which he had not yet done so.
Ernst Haas is probably my number 1. The extreme range of subjects, techniques, and more importantly feelings spanning his catalog is unfathomably large. And he does each so well. Thank you for making this video!
Hi Tatiana, I am a medical professional working with people who have difficulty swallowing, was searching for EMST, training respiratory muscles for improved cough/airway clearance, and your beautiful video was in the feed!! The opening photograph was so beautiful, I do not know many photographers, but these images are so powerful, exactly as you describe so beautifully, fill in the blurred aspects, speaking to lonliness, etc. Thank you so much for reminding me that there are no rules, creativity and thinking outside the box is often not encouraged in medicine, but so vitally important for our patients and something I used to do more often than lately due to less time/increased caseloads, etc. I am so drawn to these images, going to do the deep dive into Mr Haas's work thanks to you, and thanks for re-inspiring me with your creatuvity and world view.
Ernst would be the single biggest influence in my colour photography.I was lucky enough at an early age to experience an exhibition of his prints and have never looked back.Thnk u for this episode
When I started doing my photography that I was told to first learn in doing B/W shooting, as in the 1976 that I started shooting color as my heros as I was taught at City College of Ernst Haas but also Peter Turner, Jay Maisel, Stephen Shore, Joel Meyerowitz, and Japanese Photographer Shinzo Meada, As I took my 35mm, and medium format camera as each weekend I would walk the streets near my home, and just shoot whatever I see. As I have 2 books on Haas, one is Title: In Germany, and the other is called Ernst Haas On Color Photography, both books are Out Of Print, as I do have one only book on Pete Turner, and Jay Maisel. Now as for Japanese Photographer Shinzo Meada, I got 4 of his books while in Japan in 1985 as they were the elongated size design as his colors are so intense but I was told in how they printed these photography books in the 1980's with bright saturated colors as they use Lead Inks in the printing, and that his Son also operated a Gallery in displaying his Father's prints as he is called the Ansel Adams in Hokkaido, Japan. I was very glad to use Kodachrome as I hear others that they wanted the Kodachrome returned, But however K-14 process is Gone, and Hazardous. Shame.
Major influence on my photography since I discovered him in the Time-Life series of photography books in 1970. There was a feature of his work in the Color edition called "The Colorful World of Ernst Haas",
Nicely done! I discovered Saul Leiter first followed by Ernest Haas. They have similar styles to my eyes and I love them both. Their painterly style and use of color is always an inspiration.
For information only : A C-print or chromogenic print is made on photographic paper that has three silver emulsion layers sensitized to the primary additive colors of light (red, blue and green). During the developing process, dye couplers bond with the exposed and developed silver halides to produce complementary subtractive color dyes (cyan, yellow and magenta). The silver is bleached away, leaving a full-color positive image. A Cibachrome print (a silver dye bleach print) is made on paper containing three emulsion layers, each sensitized to one of the primary additive colors of light (red, blue and green), and each containing a full density of the complementary subtractive color dye (cyan, yellow and magenta). During development, the silver and the unnecessary dyes are selectively bleached away, leaving a final positive print. The process is used for making prints from color transparencies and is noted for its stability, image clarity, and color saturation. A dye transfer print (or dye imbibition print) is a color print made of dyes transferred from three gelatin matrices onto a sheet of paper coated with gelatin. To make a dye imbibition print, three separation negatives are made of the three primary additive colors (red, blue and green). From these negatives, gelatin matrices are created that are capable of absorbing and releasing dyes of the primary subtractive colors (yellow, cyan, magenta). When placed in exact registration on the paper, the transferred dyes create a full-color image.
Ditto, but if you haven’t heard of him check out Keld Helmer Petersen. A Danish photographer, who, like Gordon Parks went on to experiment with all sorts of methods, but was a real pioneer of colour photography. His book 122 Colour Photographs was published in 1948 ! And is beautiful. Much of it abstract/close up and minimal and shot on very early Agfa slide film. www.keldhelmerpetersen.com/
Ernst Haas is probably my Number 1 photographer and has been for many years. This short video did him justice, so, no you definitely did not mess it up! ;-) Art resonates with people in different ways; I can't really analyse why I love his work so much-it's a similar response I have to Paul Klee's work. It just feels like "part of me" or the way I see the world. And I also agree with your observations about motion, depth of field etc, with colour coming some way down the list. His creative use of blur is masterful and came about, I think, due to the limitations of Kodachrome. His famous image of the waterskier still baffles me as to how he created it; it's gorgeously "impossible". I love all his SW American series, too, round Canyon de Chelly and so on. The light and darkness in that series is stunning. Thank you so much for this video-I'm glad I found it and look forward to exploring more of your work.
You haven't messed it up at all. Thank you for another inspirational video, you have worked hard to give so much information that will keep me going and inspired for a while.
I’m new to photography history and Earnst Haas has just hit me like a piano falling from an apartment window. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of photographers with the world 💫 Some viewer feedback after watching a dozen or so of your videos: - I like the composition in this one. The desk and sneak peek of your outside window add a little mystery and personalism - The ads seem very loud compared to other channels, I wonder if your levels are a bit low? - The timing for the ads could be better, they seem to interrupt you mid sentence - Awesome intros 👏 I love the typography and lofi beats! Thank you for the wonderful videos!
I'm really enjoying your channel and your thoughts. I agree that there are no rules and that we should try different things in our work but realize that it may not work. There is a time when a "out of focus" image is artistic and conveys the emotion you are looking for but more often that out of focus image looks more like a mistake than an artistic statement.
Very true, and I think that’s when we step in and think does this make sense and what do I want to convey or say with it. Thinking as creators and artists. One of the absolute keys.
I discovered his work on the late 1970's and was captured by his colors, motion, view. Fascinating. Had some two books that I ended up losing or giving. Now that I'm on a comeback to photography, I'll look for one on his work. I've reduced my photo library due to the web, but it'll NEVER be the same... Don't do that! Best!
Thanks so much for doing this. I was thrilled to see that you responded to my (and it sounds like other's) request of a few weeks ago! You did NOT mess it up. In fact, I hope you will continue to do more on Haas and dig deeper into his work. Like you, I also believe that his ability to "render" emotion in a warm, inviting way is different from many other excellent color photographers who depict but don't express. Hard to explain. His ability to seek visual pleasure in ordinary, mundane objects and slices of the world was pretty incredible. Anyway, thanks for your commentary and for doing the video.
Hey Glenn not a problem it’s our channel and love listening to you and allow myself to grow with feedback and I completely agree with sometimes it’s really hard to explain the things and emotions that Haas provoked us but it’s just like the good old saying an image is worth a thousand words. And sometimes it’s really true.
Love this video. Haas was my mother's favorite photographer. She also described him as a painter. I've always loved his work and philosophy. I always think of him as the only motion picture still photographer. Also, heavily discussing with other and younger creators the importance of breaking rules, thinking outside the box, and that gear doesn't make the creator. Incredible work as always, T! p.s. - Love focus play. Probably the thing I'm asked to defend most in my work.
Thank you John and yes I completely agree with you and these things are worth bringing to the table, think, create, no rules, be yourself. It’s cliché but even clichés are forgotten.
Very fine and thoughtful presentation and particularly inspiring from a young person. Thank you for sharing your admiration for this great photographer.
Tatina , this is a really great channel, I wish you all the best , is filling void and filling the void re educating people about photography and art and in a very unbiased and none judgemental way . I love your blend between photographers painters and cinema and the connection ,similarities and differences between them , its really nice to watch a channel and one by a young intelligent person who isn't just doing photo walks or blogging shoots or doing gear reviews ... we all need more of this kind of content , this is what the channels art of photography and blind men and an elephant used to be before the chased the big bucks ... the kind of content your are producing is more important and impactful than most poeple realise and sadly will over look it in favour or the aforementioned fast food content .. keep going please , its fantastic
Hey there Gaius thank you so much for your kind words I really really appreciate it. I will it coming producing and talking about what I feel is so relevant. Once again appreciate you taking your time to watch the video and writing that comment. 🤍
Muchas gracias, este ha sido uno de los mejores videos que yo haya visto en este canal. Sus propios comentarios le han hecho más interesante aún más. Me siento inspirado y con ganas de seguir tomando fotos aún en medio de esta pandemia que no se quiere ir. Gracias muy bien trabajo!
I studied with Ernst Haas back in the mid 70's. I have many great memories. He liked doing slide shows with classical music then. I believe his son became a composer of classical music. He told me how Henri Cartier Bresson used to take passport photos of his friends when he was on vacation. There's another artist who did work with a camera. Lol.
Great video today and incredible subject. That image of the woman's hand in the back of the taxi is so good. Your channel is very interesting, thank you.
I enjoy your content very much and would like to suggest Mark Morrisroe as a future subject. He worked in the 80’s in NYC almost exclusively in Polaroid and also achieved very painterly effects. He’s not so well-known and certainly deserves to be.
@@TatianaHopper Great to hear! Very little on YT about him so far. He’s right up there with Nan Goldin IMO. I think he’s less well-known due to the several untimely deaths of people that got his work after he died at the age of 30. There is a wonderful monograph of his work if you get the chance to take a look. 👀
i recently came acroos with your channel i really love your work how is put toguether and love the nusic in your videos thanks for sharing you have a new follower hugs from Santo Domingo Ms Hopper
I do love the photography of Ernst Haas too. Unfortunately I don’t own any Ernst Haas’ book, but I’ll own a few in a few days/weeks 😅. Thanks for another great video.
William Eggleston's embrace of color was born of dye transfer printing, I believe. Something along those lines. Definitely wish we could have an updated process like that ... or at least some kind of color positive printing process we could do at home. Anyway, this is great as always!
I think color photography is a bit different. Why I say that. It's because the photographer needs to understand how the colour is going to impact the overall scene, how it goes with rest of the colors, and so on. I've personally seen that just because of bad color sense many photographers didn't quite came out great. I'm not being disrespectful to bnw photographers (in fact, I love bnw photography), bnw photography is a bit more forgiving. But in case of color, one must have a great sense of everything 🙏🏼
Brilliant channel, thank you. Re. cost of books, photobooks can be very expensive, esp. in this case. But it's also about perceived value. I paused to reflect the extent to which I have baulked at paying, say, £100-£200 for a photobook, but don't mind buying a new lens now and then, when it's possible that the former may be the rather better investment. I have Abstrakt on order :-)
Well done you. Another inspirational piece and thanks for the insight into Ernst Haas. I was very interested in your comment about 'not liking rules'. As Alister Benn (Expressive Photography) said on his excellent channel, 'rules are the death of creativity'. It's a view I closely align with. I joined a camera club a couple of months ago and like the one I trialled a year or so ago, it's predicated on competitions, within the membership and between clubs. Sadly, that requires participants to adopt 'the rule of rules' and a pretty narrow set of expectations of what images are required to be in order to 'succeed' or be accepted. Anything outside of those blinkered requirements is either not understood or rejected because it doesn't conform to 'the rule of rules'. Rules are useful perhaps when starting out in photography, to give some frame of reference to hang experience on but there needs to come a point (if you genuinely want to give free rein to your personal expression) when you adopt 360° photography; a realisation that your message is all that matters and not followers or 'likes' or a camera competition certificate. I can see why rules are a comfort to many but as Alister Benn said, they really are 'the death of creativity'. As a footnote, please...never allow some imagined sense of 'not doing something or someone justice' get in the way. Any anxiety about the quality bar is set by you in your own mind, so please disregard and dismiss it and just get on with 'doing'. You're the real deal, so just follow your heart and go on telling it how you see it. :-)
Thank you so much for your comment Steven! I really appreciate it and like you said I’ll continue saying things the way I see them. Thank you for the support 🤍
Thanks for posting this on his life. If he were still alive I'd give him the last roll of Kodachrome to him. I saw him first hand in the Time-Life series of books and I was hooked to photography. I'm grateful to you for showing this. Maybe Maisel next?
Hello! I've been enjoying and learning a lot with your videos. There's a ton of information and photographers I didn't know. Do you suggest any website where I can find more information about these classic iconic photographers and history of photography in general?
Your comment got lost on my comment page so sorry for not reaching out sooner. Answering your question, always check the video's description I always leave links there to the photographer's work and through those links you generally can find galleries or websites that showcase a lot of other work. Peace!
it certainly is not my style, but what he pulled off here takes quite a bit of talent to pull off. and also you cannot be hidden from the fact you are taking a photo taking an exposure that long. pretty neat.
As far as I know the film matrix used for dye transfer printing is no longer made. An American photographer and printer, Ctein, is a master dye transfer printer. You can look him up on the internet. Also he wrote articles on dye transfer printing for The Online Photographer. I have seen many dye transfer prints and they are unique in how color is represented. Another great but overlooked photographer is Henry Holmes Smith who made dye transfer prints of his work.
@@TatianaHopper (You may have found this information by now.) I thought dye transfer was no longer possible since 1993 when Kodak quit making the dyes, etc. The Wikipedia article on dye transfer references Ctein. On his custom printing page he directs photographers to James Browning for dye transfer prints. Browning recreated the process: www.dyetransfer.org/Site/Dye_Transfer_Resources_files/DyeTran.pdf. I did alot of darkroom work from the 70s - 2000, but this is beyond me.
I made a dye transfer print long ago, 1966 or so, as a project at Rochester Institute of Technology. Even before you asked, I thought you might be interested in this. I still have the print, and remember some details about making it. Don't know how to get in touch, though. Can anyone help me with that?
"He also breaks alot of rules, which is good because I don't believe in rules" I think the brevity of this sentence takes away from the actual message. Rule breaking in itself is no creative act, if you set you frame to what you want to be the expression of the picture, and then to purposefully not adhere to a rule to extent your expression in a picture, to make the expression work. This is the art in rule breaking. The purpose driven extension of expression in Art is the artistic process for which the rule has to give way
They need to bring Kodachrome back otherwise photography is dead and might as well take decent photos on the iphone. The only thing at this point in photography than can make a comeback is Kodachrome.
Dear Ms. Hopper. As the daughter of Ernst Haas, I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful video on my dad and his photography. He would have loved it so much. To see young people enjoying and inspired by his work is so amazing. Yes he was a painter in a hurry but he adored photography and he loved poetry. Thank you so much from the Haas family.

Wow… thanks Internet for this conversation. What a wonderful community!
Such an underrated comment.
Well, this must be the most valuable comment I have ever read on youtube! Bravo, Ms Hopper 👍🏽
Ernst Haas is probably my number 1. The extreme range of subjects, techniques, and more importantly feelings spanning his catalog is unfathomably large. And he does each so well. Thank you for making this video!
Completely agree with your Taylor he touched so many different subjects it’s amazing. Thank you for watching!
This was so good! Love the work and your thoughts, as always.
Appreciate it Matt 🤍
Hi Tatiana, I am a medical professional working with people who have difficulty swallowing, was searching for EMST, training respiratory muscles for improved cough/airway clearance, and your beautiful video was in the feed!! The opening photograph was so beautiful, I do not know many photographers, but these images are so powerful, exactly as you describe so beautifully, fill in the blurred aspects, speaking to lonliness, etc. Thank you so much for reminding me that there are no rules, creativity and thinking outside the box is often not encouraged in medicine, but so vitally important for our patients and something I used to do more often than lately due to less time/increased caseloads, etc. I am so drawn to these images, going to do the deep dive into Mr Haas's work thanks to you, and thanks for re-inspiring me with your creatuvity and world view.
This is the best video I have seen about Ernst Haas!! And I have seen all about my favourite photographer in RUclips...
Hey thank you so much Javier! Appreciate it.
Ernst would be the single biggest influence in my colour photography.I was lucky enough at an early age to experience an exhibition of his prints and have never looked back.Thnk u for this episode
Thank you Stephen!
Through your channel I am learning so much about the thing I love, thank you so much.
Thank you so much for taking your time to watch the videos!

Absolutely!

Your bio-vids are THE BEST! Thank you so much.
Thank you Jim, much appreciated!
Has been a favorite photographer of mine for a long time, I love not just his awesome body go work, but his wise quotes!
Thanks fort this great analysis and deserved tribute to this great artist
Thank you!
Wonderful video and insight 👍🏻
So cool that his daughter reached out in the comments. I just ordered one of his books 11 minutes ago 😏
Thank you Aaron! Appreciate you and glad you got one of his books, definitely enjoy it !
You haven't messed it up at all. Thank you for another inspirational video, you have worked hard to give so much information that will keep me going and inspired for a while.
That’s great, thank you for watching Paul!
Genius. Pioneer. His work stands the test of time.
It really does!
you DID NOT "mess it up"! thank you for the effort and the sharing. so powerful. so beautiful. so inspiring. BIG thumbs up.
Thank you ✌🏻
I’m new to photography history and Earnst Haas has just hit me like a piano falling from an apartment window. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of photographers with the world 💫
Some viewer feedback after watching a dozen or so of your videos:

Thank you for watching Robert!
Thanks so much for doing this. I was thrilled to see that you responded to my (and it sounds like other's) request of a few weeks ago! You did NOT mess it up. In fact, I hope you will continue to do more on Haas and dig deeper into his work. Like you, I also believe that his ability to "render" emotion in a warm, inviting way is different from many other excellent color photographers who depict but don't express. Hard to explain. His ability to seek visual pleasure in ordinary, mundane objects and slices of the world was pretty incredible. Anyway, thanks for your commentary and for doing the video.
Hey Glenn not a problem it’s our channel and love listening to you and allow myself to grow with feedback and I completely agree with sometimes it’s really hard to explain the things and emotions that Haas provoked us but it’s just like the good old saying an image is worth a thousand words. And sometimes it’s really true.
Thank you for this. Love Haas and his kindred spirit, Leiter.
Thank you for watching Alex!
Excellent presentation!!
Cheers!
Thanks for exploring one of my all-time favorite photographers! Well done! I keep hoping you'll dive into Ralph Gibson sometime soon.
Thank you! Much appreciated. Will look into that!
Love this video. Haas was my mother's favorite photographer. She also described him as a painter. I've always loved his work and philosophy. I always think of him as the only motion picture still photographer. Also, heavily discussing with other and younger creators the importance of breaking rules, thinking outside the box, and that gear doesn't make the creator. Incredible work as always, T! p.s. - Love focus play. Probably the thing I'm asked to defend most in my work.
Thank you John and yes I completely agree with you and these things are worth bringing to the table, think, create, no rules, be yourself. It’s cliché but even clichés are forgotten.
You are absolutely great story teller.
Thank you! ✌🏻
Thank you for creating these videos. I enjoy all of them very much. ❤️
Thank you for watching & supporting Kelly 🤍
Very fine and thoughtful presentation and particularly inspiring from a young person. Thank you for sharing your admiration for this great photographer.
One of my favorite colorist, Ernst Haas, Fred Herzog and Saul Leiter are my three most favorite photographers, thanks T. Hopper!
Thank you very much for this video which does encourage me to go much more my own way.
Thank you for watching and glad the video was helpful :)
My all-time favorite photographer ♥️
One of mine too 🤍
This is a really great video as always! A lot of Haas’ work shows a really cool use of layers
Very true Reimann!
Thank you for another great video and a good vibe ...

Yeeey! Glad I could help or inspire in any way. Go for it Teo!
Amazing video as always!

I think he’s less well-known due to the several untimely deaths of people that got his work after he died at the age of 30. There is a wonderful monograph of his work if you get the chance to take a look. 👀
Fantastic as always 👏
Thanks for the wisdom!
this was such a good video!! thank you so much for sharing
One of your very best!

Thanks for sharing such great insight! :)
Thank you for watching!
I do love the photography of Ernst Haas too. Unfortunately I don’t own any Ernst Haas’ book, but I’ll own a few in a few days/weeks 😅.
Thanks for another great video.
His work seems beautiful.
Merci pour cette vidéo T.
La chaine est toujours aussi captivante et inspirante.
Je vous en prie Yoann 🤍
William Eggleston's embrace of color was born of dye transfer printing, I believe. Something along those lines. Definitely wish we could have an updated process like that ... or at least some kind of color positive printing process we could do at home. Anyway, this is great as always!
Thank you Jamie! And yes I first heard about this process though William Eggleston and learning and reading about his work :)
@@TatianaHopper Awesome! :) Makes me want to attempt some kind of four-color print process somehow. Oh, to be a scientist!
@@JamieMPhoto me too! I wish we were neighbours. We would be like the guys from breaking bad ahah
This was such a dope vid!
Cheers!
I think color photography is a bit different. Why I say that. It's because the photographer needs to understand how the colour is going to impact the overall scene, how it goes with rest of the colors, and so on. I've personally seen that just because of bad color sense many photographers didn't quite came out great. I'm not being disrespectful to bnw photographers (in fact, I love bnw photography), bnw photography is a bit more forgiving. But in case of color, one must have a great sense of everything 🙏🏼
I agree with you Anwar, back and white can indeed be more forgiving. Appreciate your thoughts & thank you for watching ✌🏻
I really enjoy your videos-very interesting and informative.
Cheers David!
Brilliant channel, thank you.
Re. cost of books, photobooks can be very expensive, esp. in this case. But it's also about perceived value. I paused to reflect the extent to which I have baulked at paying, say, £100-£200 for a photobook, but don't mind buying a new lens now and then, when it's possible that the former may be the rather better investment. I have Abstrakt on order :-)
I would love a episode about Henri Cartier Bresson

Great suggestion will eventually include him. :)
@@TatianaHopper or Gordon banks i forgot
@@tomassantos4299 I’ve made a video on Gordon parks. Look around in the channel.
Such an excellent video (as usual). And feeling yet again as if I was going to art school (the good stuff about art school of course ;))
Ahah thank you! 🤍
A great, awesome, perfect video on a wonderful photographer [clicks fingers]
Thank you Kev!
This was really inspiring... I'm now going out to play with focus and motion blur...
That’s great Roger!
Damn, I didn’t have notifications on, I missed so many videos lol
If you haven’t already, please check out Trent Parke. Love his work 👍🏼
Turn on those notifications! Ahaha
Well done you. Another inspirational piece and thanks for the insight into Ernst Haas.
I was very interested in your comment about 'not liking rules'. As Alister Benn (Expressive Photography) said on his excellent channel, 'rules are the death of creativity'. It's a view I closely align with. I joined a camera club a couple of months ago and like the one I trialled a year or so ago, it's predicated on competitions, within the membership and between clubs. Sadly, that requires participants to adopt 'the rule of rules' and a pretty narrow set of expectations of what images are required to be in order to 'succeed' or be accepted. Anything outside of those blinkered requirements is either not understood or rejected because it doesn't conform to 'the rule of rules'.
Rules are useful perhaps when starting out in photography, to give some frame of reference to hang experience on but there needs to come a point (if you genuinely want to give free rein to your personal expression) when you adopt 360° photography; a realisation that your message is all that matters and not followers or 'likes' or a camera competition certificate. I can see why rules are a comfort to many but as Alister Benn said, they really are 'the death of creativity'.
As a footnote, please...never allow some imagined sense of 'not doing something or someone justice' get in the way. Any anxiety about the quality bar is set by you in your own mind, so please disregard and dismiss it and just get on with 'doing'. You're the real deal, so just follow your heart and go on telling it how you see it. :-)
Thank you so much for your comment Steven! I really appreciate it and like you said I’ll continue saying things the way I see them. Thank you for the support 🤍
thanks for this video
Thank you I appreciate it ! :)
great video! didn't get the link to your work on Instagram...
Thank you. I’ve updated the link in the description now.
Thanks for posting this on his life. If he were still alive I'd give him the last roll of Kodachrome to him. I saw him first hand in the Time-Life series of books and I was hooked to photography. I'm grateful to you for showing this. Maybe Maisel next?
Thank you Jose, much appreciated!
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Really inspiring! 🌈✨🧡
Hello! I've been enjoying and learning a lot with your videos. There's a ton of information and photographers I didn't know. Do you suggest any website where I can find more information about these classic iconic photographers and history of photography in general?
Your comment got lost on my comment page so sorry for not reaching out sooner. Answering your question, always check the video's description I always leave links there to the photographer's work and through those links you generally can find galleries or websites that showcase a lot of other work. Peace!
i really enjoy the video and the music. how can i find the music?
it certainly is not my style, but what he pulled off here takes quite a bit of talent to pull off. and also you cannot be hidden from the fact you are taking a photo taking an exposure that long. pretty neat.
Thank you for watching!
Can someone please explain to me how Western Skies Motel was shot? I don’t understand the sky in the blue frame. How was it there?
What do you use to scan your film for digital display?
Epson V600 🤘🏻
As far as I know the film matrix used for dye transfer printing is no longer made. An American photographer and printer, Ctein, is a master dye transfer printer. You can look him up on the internet. Also he wrote articles on dye transfer printing for The Online Photographer. I have seen many dye transfer prints and they are unique in how color is represented. Another great but overlooked photographer is Henry Holmes Smith who made dye transfer prints of his work.
Yes, Ctein is here in the Bay Area; he was the late Jim Marshall's printer for many years.
That’s great I actually didn’t know about Ctein and will definitely look this up. Thank you for sharing that and for watching! Much appreciated.
@@TatianaHopper (You may have found this information by now.) I thought dye transfer was no longer possible since 1993 when Kodak quit making the dyes, etc. The Wikipedia article on dye transfer references Ctein. On his custom printing page he directs photographers to James Browning for dye transfer prints. Browning recreated the process: www.dyetransfer.org/Site/Dye_Transfer_Resources_files/DyeTran.pdf. I did alot of darkroom work from the 70s - 2000, but this is beyond me.

you didnt mess it up
I made a dye transfer print long ago, 1966 or so, as a project at Rochester Institute of Technology. Even before you asked, I thought you might be interested in this. I still have the print, and remember some details about making it. Don't know how to get in touch, though. Can anyone help me with that?
@tffhopper on Instagram would probably be better but links to my website and all are in the description :)
Cover Fan ho!
Did that video 3 weeks ago! ✌🏻
Perfect Girl doesn´t exis...
BTW 'Ernst' is pronounced as 'Air n st'
Thank you!
"He also breaks alot of rules, which is good because I don't believe in rules" I think the brevity of this sentence takes away from the actual message. Rule breaking in itself is no creative act, if you set you frame to what you want to be the expression of the picture, and then to purposefully not adhere to a rule to extent your expression in a picture, to make the expression work. This is the art in rule breaking. The purpose driven extension of expression in Art is the artistic process for which the rule has to give way
They need to bring Kodachrome back otherwise photography is dead and might as well take decent photos on the iphone. The only thing at this point in photography than can make a comeback is Kodachrome.
Not a fan of Ernst Haas, very base no real narrative, almost cliche. Give me Eggleston any day.
Well, I respect that 👍🏻
I’m a fan of Haas, and both Picasso and Modigliani. Or Bach. Or Beethoven. The one does not exclude the other.
