The best part for me was "Maybe a 'great picture' is not the goal." You inspired me to re-evaluate what my goal is when taking pictures. Thank you so much for that inspiration. Your deep and intelligent thoughts go far beyond what you normally find in RUclips.
Got my first portrait shoots on the model-side of the lens this week, this video made me more excited. INTERESTING is more important than me looking beautiful.
Well said. I feel the same way. Interesting people make for wonderful subjects. Many of our most famous actors are not the most attractive but create an emotion in us that is meaningful.
I'm wondering if a photographer had a cartoon-like frame or two depicting the image "gap" concept in a thought-provoking humorous way may be a good conversation starter. Or maybe an interaction between Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, or some characters suitable for the Photographer's geography might be an ice-breaker.
As a photographer I can tell you from experience that photographing someone who is not beautiful is not as rewarding as photographing someone beautiful. Keep in mind that beauty is a perception.
then what's your meaning of rewarding ? i suppose you should be more specific : money kind of reward, public reconnaissance, or self estime as a photographer ?
I think I mentioned it in my comment. From my experience as a photographer for many decades in fashion and in Hollywood with actors and actresses I personally am more rewarded when I photograph beautiful people versus not so beautiful people. That's not to say that sometimes you come across a hideous person who photographs badly but has a great personality. @@LaurentFabry
With nearly every sentence Ivan spoke I found myself screaming "PRECISELY!" Thank you for this! Great content!
Ivan is a great mentor and photographer, his great empathy and calm voice make the interaction downright therapeutic.
Ivan truly is a master at his craft.
I love this thank you. You have inspired me to take a different approach to taking peoples portraits.
Wonderful interview, Ivan. You continue to be an inspiration to me.
We’re basically just trying to tell the story..right. Character, uniqueness, individuality over beauty is a story. Great work.
I love hearing you speak and share you insight of your photographic process. Thank you for sharing.
