- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. What is the past and present state of photography? Is it dead, or just waking up? How can past technologies inform us about ourselves, and even help us predict the future?
I am a full time commercial and event photographer. It was a strong interest that turned into a money-making thing that turned into how I make almost all my money.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Somewhere, someone is trying to make Kodachrome in their shed.
why is he dressed like a magican?
😨
coz photography is magical ! :D
Talbot used a Camera Lucida as a drawing aid, not a Camera Obscura. Sir John Herschel discovered fixer, not Talbot. Talbot also made his first photographs (most famously the lattice window) along with his ’sun pictures’ (early photograms) in 1835, not 1839. (1839 was the year both he and Daguerre published their discoveries in England and France, respectively). Sorry to be pedantic but if you’re educating people in history and planning to write a book, do it proper.
He is dressed as a magician because he is trying to illustrate the "magic" of the photographic image.
Yeah. I should have put in a bit more about the future. My prediction is that technology will continue to detach people from actual tangible involvement with image making, like chemistry, wet paper, metal dials and larger amounts of time wondering if the film is OK. But also people will find richness in the history of photography and indulge in tintypes and other vintage processes making the future full of anachronisms.
Hey man you did great. I appreciate This. You remind me a lot of my history of photography teacher except you are just simply better. You made very great points. Thank you for this Leif.
That would be cool!
Leif Norman I think modern post processing, although not as hands on as photography in the past, gives us some control over the picture.
Bret Reinbold Untouched images are still theoretically not accurate. Images have always been edited. I don't exactly like autotune but the talkbox and vocoder have been here much longer than autotune and also like photography, music has been highly edited, or well mixed for a long time. Though I do admit the computer allows for much more editing, it shouldn't be feared but rather explored imo.
Great job! Thanks for the additional idea. I agree with you that a sector of us have already and will continue to branch off and dive into the multiple alternative processes in photography. Especially with us now living in the age of a pandemic and being forced to slow down.
no word about future :( just short lecture about photography history
even the past is inaccurate he speaks about fox talbot in the 1840s but not nicephore nieps in the 1820s
You present more as a salesman rather than someone trying to provide a gift to those needing knowledge. Another sales pitch.:-(
Joseph Niepce heliography next Daguerreotype next callotype next cullodian next kodak and so on
I still don't get what he want to say... the past - photography history is basic, yeah, cool but what about the future?
why are you forgetting Chinese philosopher mozi who discovered that light passing through a pin hole into a dark roomWill make upside down picture and this phenomena is the key technology of today's cameras
oooooh.
Very entertaining and informative, Leif. I would love to mix up chemicals with you and build a Gladys....or perhaps a Hilda or Ermintrude! Lol... Where can I see your work online or in publications? Thanks, Martin (London, England).
Great talk Leif, very entertaining. I agree that along with the latest technological developments, traditional photographic processes will also have place. I have been doing alternative processes of late and began to develop my own B&W film and its a blast.
meeeeeeeehhhhhh
"making positives out of negatives"
"Authenticity - slow, not instant"
Respect for this man. He is a true photographer and artist.
I yearn for Kodachrome.
Why do Ted talkers have to try out a comedy routine?
Great lecture with splendid ingenuity.
This is unique, but definitely no future. It is an art form, which is fun to do.
There has been a huge trend of film photography among the Japanese youth, while the old men sport digital Nikons and Canons
Thank u all very much
Saw a guy buying lenses for a Camera like his.
This is cool. I love history
That is a ridiculous coat.
🖤✨
Boring
nothing about future :(
hello
future??
boring boring and nothing new here ...
Very educational, thanks! Also liked that you were self-deprecating.
Fail is that Red T under tails
Wrong red for ted
