    I think this is probably my favourite of yours to date. Embarrassed to say I’ve never heard of Alexey Titarenko and every image of his gave me goosebumps throughout the video. ‘Evocative’ is a great word to describe his work, thanks for bringing this to us :)

    Beautiful video Tatiana. I remember coming across Titarenko's work some time ago and got very impressed about how he captures movement and people. It is not just a common long exposure shot but an expression of time passing. He gives an immense amount of meaning in each of his shots and this is apparent by the way he edits his images. It feels like photography is not just something he does but something he is. It was great chatting with you during your coaching sessions and I recommend people to take the opportunity and join you in one of your future sessions. All the best!

    • @TatianaHopper

    Titarenko is one of those artists that really had me staring at the image. I discovered his work soon after The City is a Novel (2015) was released, but - as anyone of who likes photography books knows - I was a few weeks late trying a to find a copy. Amazon sold me one, and weeks later said they couldn't get it and cancelled my order. In the end I obtained two copies (one from Taipei and one from Sydney!), and with a copy safely in my hands, gave the other one away to a friend. I'm so glad I pursued this book because I couldn't quite believe what I was looking at with these images. I still don't... though your video has gotten me a little closer to it. It's beautiful work. I don't see the pessimism in it, for me its a kind of communication, like tapping into another wavelength. So, it's work that reveals something - maybe like those who photograph in the UV spectrum. The places, the scenes are so known, but what we are seeing is unknown, or perhaps revealed by the photographer. The thing that has mystified me the most in Titarenko's work is this - how on earth did he conceive of his style? What influenced his technique, his vision? you touch on the inspiration, but how he translated from that to this medium is still a mystery to me. Thanks for this video Tatiana.

    Alexey Titarenko really is inspirational. He has certainly influenced my photography as I am trying to move away from simply freezing a moment in time with a fast shutter and embrace movement and work on my edits to produce an artistic vision beyond what can be seen with our eyes. That's the beauty of photography, so many possibilities. I didn't know Alexey hand painted developed photographs to add pops of colour though so that was a welcome bonus to see in your excellent video.

  • @Gravitys-NOT-a-force
    @Gravitys-NOT-a-force Год назад

    Thank you. I had never heard of Alexey Titarenko. It's my theory that the "impressionist" painters had panicked when they saw the stark "realism" of photography. It's my theory that Alexey Titarenko was stung by artists' criticism of photography as being too mechanical, too reproducible. Titarenko's photos were definitely not that.

    Congrats! Your ability to consistently explore fascinating and profound subjects is truly remarkable. You strike a perfect balance by presenting these topics in a refreshing manner while also steering clear of shallowness. Keep up the great work! 😄👍The extremely important allusiveness of the border between crafts and arts is obviously not unique to photography. For me, it is ultimately all about the motivative TRUTH behind the CREATIVE work, which is so obviously and viscerally apparent from Titarenco's work.

    • @TatianaHopper
      @TatianaHopper  Год назад

      Totally agree with you! He is the embodiment of what you mention and I think that’s why he’s work is so unique because his perspective and creative tools / outlet is also unique and tailored to his view of the world. Thanks so much for watching! 🙏🏻

      I guess some people might just not like being called artists, I’ve met a lot of non-commercial photographers who wouldn’t call themselves artists or consider what they do art. I suppose I talked about it in this context because the images to me, the treatment, the sheer amount of time put into the production of each one equals more the process of making a painting or some sort of visual art. But of course very valid questions there!
