How he didn't get slapped in the face doing that sort of photography I will never Know He looks more like A building site foreman than a photographer Great photo's he did In his day ❤ RIP❤
I absolutely love his technique (fumbling around) .. but watching his hands work while he's flipping the camera around, you can tell he knows his camera very well .. Holding the camera up on a really short strap, looking past the people, acting like he doesn't even know they're around .. So good, classic! .. I am going to try to remember his technique next time I am in a bunch of people .. Reminds me of how in the digital age, we "chimp" at our cameras .. hahahah
3:36. I paused it there. If that had showed up in front of me, that’s one of the images I would have captured AND used. She is such a beautiful woman! ❤. And 3:43 is a great frame! And 3:36 also ❤
Why does it seem like people today are skittish like horses? Compared to when this was shot, people seemed more at ease with other people close to them
@@GPTMagana that’s very interesting, I agree on your points, we are more hyper aware of our environment. Do you think this will only increase over time?
He mentions in the video that he either uses a 21mm or 28mm, not clear what exact model, but I guess you could just look up what lenses Leica had available at those focal lengths in the 80's
seems an addiction with Winogrand. I saw his exhibit at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 2013. It was THE greatest photo exhibit I've ever been to. Such variety in his subjects.
When you realize, almost all of these photographers in these series were once used Leica M4 (Meyerowitz, Mark Cohen, Winogrand). Even Mark Cohen is still using the same camera to the recent days.
I think the way he takes photos is akin to sleight of hand. He fumbles, smiles, shakes his head and the second everyone is relaxed and not expecting him to take a picture, the shutter clicks.
3:33 can we agree this attitude is much less prevalent in the modern 20s? People see a camera and want to hide. Everyone has their own camera now, one they use particularly, one that’s connected to the whole world, in which they curate pictures of themselves, where only the best of the best make it to the world’s eyes. It feels like more and more the camera is a weapon to the public. Don’t take that picture, you can’t take a picture of me, I didn’t curate my image online to perfection for you to come here and mess it all up.
