    Great interview. Favorite quote... “Its not my job to create meaning, but to charge the air so meaning can occur” - Todd Hido

    most important line at 14:58 "Print out your photographs". Made the world of difference for me once I started printing my work

      100% true. You don't see it for yourself - unless you print it out. A PC screen means nothing - its nothing haptic, to see, with your own, naked eyes. I've printed some 20-30 pictures on canvas, or alu dibond from 30x20 to 120x80cm sizes during the past >2 decades for friends & family, and they like it.

    “The meaning of the image resides in the viewer. Ambiguity is an amazing tool for art.
    You can’t control what people think. Why even try? It’s not my job to create meaning, but to charge the air so that meaning can occur.” This! 👌

    15:35 "The power of photography [is] to tell the truth, but equally to lie - I think that's what makes it such an interesting medium". This was articulated so accurately !

    Great interview, great insight to his work. And very important words : print your pictures. Give them physicality. Let them have the opportunity to be found, rediscovered, weeks, months, years later!
    I've lost thousands of photographs in the void of old hard drives, flimsy SSDs and stolen or lost phones. The printed ones are still there.

    This is my favourite kind of photography video on RUclips because it explores a genuine, decades-long evolution of creative inspiration and gives some insight into a masters approach to their art. There’s definitely a place for early-career photographers discussing their profession and inspiration but this sort of interview just hits different. Amazing work, I hope to see much more like this from your channel!

  • @bobsykes
    @bobsykes Месяц назад +15

    That's fantastic, Willem! He's such an inspiration. This reminds me of one of your earliest videos on this channel I saw, in which you talked about Hido's work being an inspiration for your own photos. It also struck me how there is not a "sharp" picture shown in this whole thing, yet today's Internet is obsessed with gear reviews about how insanely sharp some latest and greatest lens is! It is so cool that you got to make this video.

"Pleasures and terrors of domestic comfort" is one of my favourite publications. ".... to photograph on top of the mountain one must climb it , to photograph in the home one must be invited" forever changed my approach to photography .

    I think a little nugget that hit me was "I think it's hard to talk about [landscape] pictures because if I was a word person, I wouldn't even need to make them". I feel like this was maybe unintentionally deep lol. This is an aspect that has kept me wanting to photograph through tough times. I feel like there have been a lot of times where something has made me feel a certain way and I want to share that feeling so badly with others but it feels impossible through words alone.
