    Photobooks may sound expensive but they are the best investment one can make during their photographic journey.

      Would you like to share your thoughts behind that and why you think that? I dont disagree, just interested in yout point of view :-)

      @@maui_malard8218 sure, assuming your question was towards me.
      TL,DR : it comes down to personal preference and how one enjoyes viewing photographs.
      While it is perfectly fine to enjoy someone's work online I think it is far "better" to see if printed. At least for me
      The fact that I am 100% devoted on viewing one"s work through a book instead of scrolling through, is what makes the difference. I simply observe the little details more.
      A photobook is - supposed to be - a more cohesive expression of someone's work. I find the storytelling part to be much more present. Even if the book's content is less storytelling/documentary - style, the way each photo is selected to be placed next to another one adds to that.
      Regardless the photos being colored or black and white I find the quality of the photos to be superior when printed. I have gazed Sebastiao Salgado's and Alex Webb's work (so as to pick one of each) a lot online but the feeling of seeing their printed photos is totally different.
      There are photographers like the one in this video whose work is timeless, featuring exceptional composition skills. I find their work more educational than videos regarding composition rules and easier to absorb it when printed.
      Last but not least, you just can't find everyone's work online. For instance, while there are lots of articles and videos presenting the work of the above two photographers mentioned you will have a hard time viewing their full work. I guess that doesn't apply to young photographers nowadays who have a strong presence in social media.

    As a man, who studied history of the Soviet union, I say that it did imprison no solders, but nazis during the WW2. Austria joined Hitler's forses in 1938. This is why some autrians were imprisoned

    On a platform littered with gear reviews and trendy hypes, it's quite refreshing to see content that actually focuses on the art of photography. Bravo!! Please do more. Here's a suggestion for a video idea.. often times my assistants would ask me how to find subjects to shoot when the location seems "empty and boring". Rather than simply "go someplace else", how would you approach that challenge? Keep up the great work and look forward to more insightful and thought provoking content.

    Great video! I'm happy you took the time to correct the voiceover. I watched it earlier when it was unlisted somehow lol. I highly suggest his book "Color Correction" if you can find a affordable copy. It is a whole other side of his work, you'd dig it. He transforms the most ordinary things into abstract masterpieces in there.
    Lastly, totally unrelated to this video, but check out the 1985 film "Tokyo-Ga" if you want some more inspiration for your upcoming Japan trip. It's a good one showing the perspective of Wim Wenders traveling through '80s Tokyo. He was also the director/writer of the recent Tokyo movie "Perfect Days."

    Such a thoughtful video, each shot of his is so abstract & yet familiar. Especially being from NY, seeing these shots is like peering into another world, one that bears resemblance to the world I know. I can see why you along with countless other photographers have found inspiration in his work. That sense of meaning, a shot that speaks a thousand words. Something that can feel so personal & yet so universal. That is definitely what an artist strives for in his work. I've been hesitating to buy a camera, but this video really has me thinking. That ability to express a certain thought or feeling, and be able to share it for others to see. To feel. That is definitely something I seek in this life. When I start my photography, I will refer to your videos to learn, and to this book for inspiration.

  • @hewhotellsastory

    Wow and congratulations on another superb video, with amazing content. When I think of colour, I always think of Fred Herzog, and rather surprisingly Helen Levitt. Whose photograph "Boy with Bubble" (1972) is inspiring. However, when I think of the photo-book per se, I think of Japanese photographers and how their approach to the book itself is an art form. Dark contrast, monochromatic images. Even the paper seems, like rough eggshell, think Tatsuo Suzuki or even though not Japanese Ken Schles "Invisible City". Beautiful books. Subbed.

    Thank you Faizal. Ernst Haas is my all time favourite photographer and he gets virtually none of the attention he deserves. I believe this is mostly due to John Szarkowski championing Eggleston over Haas, even though Haas’ work predated Eggleston’s in an exhibition at MoMA by over a decade. I love all three men’s work but Haas is unfairly sidelined IMO. Thank you for celebrating him, and I very much like your take on his work.
