      @argmax11 7 лет назад +12

      Exactly what i thought! This made me want to go read photography literature and later shoot. Not research prices of gear that I will never be able to afford.

    I was a massive fan of the brad Pitt shoot. All too often you see lifestyle portraits ruined by the same Instagram "I'm free" poses, so seeing Pitt contorting around in the sand was kinda refreshing. Sure convey emotion but at the end of the day, this was a fashion shoot, not straight up portraiture. Massive props to Ryan for not conforming to the same boring BS editorial that everyone else does.

    • @feralmode
      @feralmode 4 года назад +2

      i know i'm late to the party but Pitt's shoot was great! far removed from the normal style shoots. Also those shoots are super high pressure so for McGinley to pull off something original in that situation is really impressive. Also this guy complains about Beyonce being a prop when he walks around with a model as a prop for his video. She's literally standing in the background waiting for him to shoot while he's espousing about how shit mcGinley is. The hypocrisy!!! This video STINKS!!!

    • @KY-zerSOH-zay
      @KY-zerSOH-zay 3 года назад +1

      @@feralmode i am even later, but you are totally right. mayybe Ian should stop blabbering bullshit the whole time and focus on taking pictures. He got a beautiful model and almost 98,99% of the pictures he took of her are pure crap - that´s what i call talent. And by the way the Pitt shoot was awesome, that bullshit you pulled in this video is what it is bullshit. 8minutes wasted of my life

    @mangler1055 7 лет назад +3

    Thanks so much for your thoughtful videos. It's so needed in a world of gear based channels. They remind me of the early art of photography videos where Ted focused on photographers. That you get out in the field and attempt to replicate them makes it even better.. Don't stop!

    @federicofloresmoy8385 7 лет назад

    I like the way you present your videos with a brief history of photographers with their examples and especially the use of negative film and the type of roll you use as well as the camera used in your scenes taken. In a simple and direct way. Thank you for sharing the visual creation that is important. Warm Regards. Federico F. Moy.

    Really enjoyed this video Ian. Your insight into the theory of taking a good photo is rare in this age when everyone is only focusing on the practical/ technical aspects (equipment) of the same. Your presenting style is refreshing too, laid back and good humoured without ever coming across as being pretentious. Keep up the good work and looking forward to your next video.

    Ian, I love what you are doing here ! Every photographer should bookmark your video for reference and inspiration. Your photo shoot alone is very exceptional, but with your narrative, added images, noted film types, it's over the top - superlative bringing the highest or a very high degree of a quality ! Please keep shooting, filming and commenting. many thanks to you !! best, John Jungklaus - New York..

    I love how this isn't about what camera is the best and what you should use. It's more about inspiration and going out to shoot. I think everybody is tired about hearing about the best dslr or mirrorless camera. This is just about going out and shooting nice pics. The analog part is just a happy accident. It's also nice that the host can actually take good images. Great job, keep it up.

  • @olofljunggren1189
    @olofljunggren1189 7 лет назад +6

    The video was so good. I have to disagree about portraits always being about the person in the frame - it does not have to be. Sometimes, they're simply there to convey something about something other than themselves. Of course, if you're making photos of Brad Pitt, they should be about him, but it doesn't have to be that way just because it's a portrait.

    • @IanWong

  • @kingberzerk
    @kingberzerk 7 лет назад

    Great work, thank you very much. I like the quality. One technical question: Around Timecode 4:00 with the F3 and the Portra 160 - which focal length is it and why does it look like sunshine when the weather is all dizzy and cloudy? Overexposure? I like the photos very much.

  • @cpt_stvn
    @cpt_stvn 7 лет назад +2

    Nicely produced video! My only thing with the topic is photography is such a subjective thing that at some point it's almost impossible to really say something matter of factly. Everything just becomes someone's opinion in the end.

  • @eustacequinlank7418
    @eustacequinlank7418 7 лет назад

    What a great location you have there. Does it get misty predictably during a certain time of the year, like you know it will be that way sometimes during June for instance? In the UK today, Hurricane Ophelia brought over red dust from the Sahara, totally unpredictable. I had my F100 ready loaded with Portra 400, I don't know how that would have affected the slightly orange cast as I regard it as a colder film, but I don't think I got as much as others. I couldn't see the sun through the clouds where I was. Then it went. The abstract iPhone snaps were still nice, even though I had to 'correct' the white balance back to what I _actually_ saw with Lightroom (I forgot to do it in (Camera Plus).
    Also, do you use medium format? I'm thinking of selling my 500 C/M for a Bronica SQ-A, half the price just as effective. They're the same size and work well as walkabout cameras The Zeiss lenses for Hasselblads really push it money wise, (repairs are super costly too) I didn't realise what I was getting into years back.

    @Daniel_Zalman 7 лет назад +2

    To be honest, I even think a lot of his non-commercial work you shared in the video comes off as contrived or leaves me emotionally indifferent. Basically, his work is eye-candy. Maybe, unwittingly, he is reflecting our times, where the effect is more important than the affect.
    For instance, I'm really into classical music and especially the piano repertoire. A lot of today's young pianists have shockingly impressive technical abilities. They play the most technically challenging works as if there's no effort involved at all. The only thing is, many of them lack musicianship, let alone musical profundity. They'll toss off La Campanella like it's child's play and will then perform a Brahms Intermezzo as if they are a child.

It's full of knowledge and understanding, in the other words depth which i believe will be hard for others to 'copy' as seen from all other videos being put out these days. Everyone's trying to bite Negative Feedback's style these days without any originality.
