This video is the beginning of a series "Learning from other artists". Let me know what you think!

@stephandelaat 6 лет назад

He Tom you should check out some stuff from JORGE DE LA TORRIENTE, im sure you'll like his minimalist pictures

@stuartschaffner9744 6 лет назад

I am very excited by what you are doing. Learning from others is the other way you can get better.

@tverduin 6 лет назад

Great idea for a series! Very nice beginning

@davidpearce2981 6 лет назад

I really enjoyed this and will look forward to seeing the next one. Thank you

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

Thank you all for your feedback and support. Now I have to think about the next video ... next Monday :)

I only recently discovered Michael Kenna, and was immediately smitten. A point he emphasizes in many of his interviews is how helpful it is to study the work of other photographers, to the degree that he has gone to the locations used by some of his favorites, immersing himself fully in their oeuvre. Very much like what you're doing in your "Learn From Other Artists" series. I stumbled on this one while searching Michael Kenna. I'll now move on to the next! Thank you for your analysis of Michael's approach. A good distillation.

@jamesjohnston6765 6 лет назад

You certainly picked the best way to start! Michael Kenna is one of my heroes. Great choice of images and explanation of the vision to these photos. "Less Is More"

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

He's one of my favorite photographers so the choice was simple :)

@ML-rm3vk Год назад

Right on sir spot on.

@JodySmith 6 лет назад

Love the use of negative space! I definitely need to do more of that in my photography.

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

glad you find it useful

@charlenenagel7962 6 лет назад

This was wonderful Tom! I have never seen his work before - so beautiful! Your analysis was very helpful! Thank you!

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

Glad you find it useful

When the soul is behind the camera, the results became an extension of that experience...

@adriancapraru4235 4 года назад

Beautiful said.

@ataraxia4526 6 лет назад

Good tips. Kenna is one of my top3 fav photographers among with Kertész and Fan Ho. I learned from this vid some new element about Kenna's photography that I hadn't realized before. Thanks. Subbed.

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

Thanks for the feedback and your time

@allansisson355 6 лет назад

You put a lot of thought into this and it shows. Great examples, I'll check his work out. Thanks for doing a great video, again.

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

Great job tom. Keep the videos coming 👍

Thanks

@michaelcostaphoto 4 года назад

LOL. It's funny that anyone would downvote this. I know the ratio is way more towards upvoting, but some people just baffle me.

@stefanschafer5763 2 года назад

I very much liked how you talked about these images. Minimizing distractions to emphasize what's essential.... I've got a lot to learn, but I'm motivated. Thanks for your presentation!

@clauc5587 3 года назад

It is excellent tks. To improve, maybe the images could appear bigger :)

@moroccanshow4996 6 лет назад

Excellent 👏👏

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

thanks

@bhupendersingh1476 2 года назад

Great pictures. Kindly elaborate, what's negative space?

@gaarakabuto1 3 года назад

Something a lot of people don't get about Kenna is that the composition wasn't exactly real.He took a photo,he usually had in mind with what he wants to get out of the landscape he shooted and the he removed stuff in darkroom.Kenna was shooting on medium format,known for the capabilities it offers you for cropping and editing in the darkroom. In sort most of his talent is coming from his vision and less about his photographic skills.For example in the picture shown in 5:50,most likely in his shot there were no rocks,they probably were around there but he didn't capture them,most likely he recreated the rocks in the darkroom.Minimalism is just that,visioning something that makes sense to you and capturing just that,it rarely happens in real life,rarely you will see something isolated from uniportant things,that's what makes minimal photography so apealing.

@petrub27 2 года назад

Yeah, I don't think the creator of this video can do an educated critical appraisal of Kenna's work

@jamesmoore9511 7 месяцев назад

Thank you - much appreciated. I understand he now or did live in Seattle, is that correct?

@themagicallandscape 4 года назад

awesome video and tips. I always get stuck with my photos, and this really helps get me thinking differently

@skep_8965 2 года назад

what lens helps with minimal photography? I get It that lens does not make a picture minimal but what might one consider a good lens kit to have ? I am looking at 1 canon RF 100-500 telephoto, RF 28-70 F2 at the moment. However confused about these choices

@BonciuToma 2 года назад

It's tricky to answer because ut depends on the subject. I guess a longer focal length can help you but a 28-70mm can be more versatile. I can't give you a straigth answer.

@MrHaixi 3 года назад

that's great, friend thanks ! :)

@c.augustin 6 лет назад

Great idea! Another example for minimalism in landscape photography is Bruce Percy (www.brucepercy.co.uk). MK is one of his influences (I think he states it somewhere), but he's doing it in color. And he is visiting locations were minimalism works even without snow … ;)

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

I'll check it out

@petercummins1097 6 лет назад

Brilliant observations, Tom. Really enjoyed this. Thanks

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

Thanks for watching and offering a feedback

@DileepJain 2 года назад

Thanks Tom for this clip, you introduced me to Michael Kinna, and although it's been just 2 years since I am doing photography, I am shocked to see how my compositions are mostly simple and reflect the works of Kinna.

@pixiedixie3682 6 лет назад

One of my favourites after Mr Adams of course , totally opposite styles , masters both ! Great analysis. Thank you for the video !

@MikePhumanaut 6 лет назад

Great series idea. I also love it when I find people talking about Michael Kenna and how they see his work.

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

With every artist that I'll include in this series I'll try to offer my views and not others

@danielriverarodriguez9872 3 года назад

Se vería genial el video si pudieras mostrar las imágenes de un buen tamaño en video, ya que sin imágenes diferentes y hay que apreciarlas bien para comprenderlas

@DiviPhotos 3 года назад

cool video

@thierrydietrich1291 3 года назад

Vraiment une belle idée de nous faire découvrir de tels artistes et de telles compositions. Surtout pour des néophytes

@SuperGarden78 5 лет назад

Many times when people thinks it’s snow it’s actually sand

@LarryParamedic1 3 года назад

Great information, thank you.

@BonciuToma 3 года назад

Thank you for your feedback

@jimwlouavl 3 года назад

Very nicely curated and thoughtful analysis of the compositional elements.

@abuget498 6 лет назад

and here i think the composition you will talk about is that the photo (08:02) look like a dog

@shannonsnow8298 4 года назад

This is a wonderful place and time to begin thinking about my winter photos- thank you so much.

@januszb4494 6 лет назад

Very nice simple images, I find dificult to shoot so minimalistic compositions but I know it will come with time. BTW how is your weight Tom? ;)

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

My real weights was 101kg. And now I've lost 1kg. I'm at 99.8 :)

@Archibald_Quincy_Stanton 6 лет назад

This is a wonderful idea what you are doing. I really enjoyed this being about Minimal Landscapes as I find myself moving that direction with my work lately.

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

Thank you for your feedback

@ludovic.duteau 4 года назад

Very insightful comments on some stunning pictures. Thank you for sharing your thoughts,

@Machster10 4 года назад

That piano in background is torturous

@JoshBenBernales 6 лет назад

Great inspiration, Tom! I've always loved minimal black and white photography but never find myself doing enough of it... we've had LOTS of snow lately so now is the time I guess 😁

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

Snow is great for minimal photography but so its sand

@franciscocosta8933 6 лет назад

Nice to found this video link on Thomas Eaton last video! (Y)

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

Great to hear that

@jamesmarko1787 6 лет назад

I'm still relatively new to the photography world, so I just discovered Michael Kenna, and what an incredible talent he is. I really love his style. As much as I enjoy your usual videos Tom of taking us along your outdoor adventures. I like how you offered something different here in this video. it keeps it fresh.

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

Thank you for the feedback. Hope to create an entire series with this type of video

@ThePosiview 6 лет назад

Michael Kenna by favourite photographer. 6:45 is exquisite. Thanks for posting. Regards.

Thank you for watching and for your comment

@Garyjonesphotos 6 лет назад

I really enjoyed this video and seeing some excellent examples of minimalist photography. I'm definitely going to go out and try something like this. Thanks!

+Gary Jones Fine Art Photography Thanks for your comment. Good luck in your work

@zoltanpuskas4722 Год назад

Well done, thank you.

@mihneacafadaruperioandimpl590 6 лет назад

Great video! Michael Kenna is indeed one of the greatest "fine art film" photographers. Thank you for your efforts! Cheers, Mihnea.

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

It's a series of videos I wanted to do for a long time and now with the new year was the perfect moment to start fresh ... every Monday a new video from this series :)

@SeanKimStyle 6 лет назад

A lot of People think Michael kenna took most of these photos in winter but some of them he shot it in the middle of summer. This is why he is genius

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

Yes it's true. I saw how some viewers were discuasing exactly that about one of hia photos and it turns out it was sand

@Shirley0850 6 лет назад

I am interested in minimal photography and agree the season used (winter) simplifies the landscape for the focus on the subject without interference of other elements. I have taken minimal winter photos and enjoy letting my eye wander to see the subject I want to capture. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. You explained in detail without rushing through the photos how the photo was taken and why. I look forward to more videos.

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

+Shirley0850 Hope this series will be an interesting one 😀

@ammmullan7129 6 лет назад

Interesting and instructional. It's good to see the work of master photographers, and your commentary explains how (the techniques used by the photographer) these images succeed. Cheers.

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

I'll try to create a series of this where will be included not only photographers but painters as well

@johnguillaume5919 6 лет назад

Enjoyed this. Kenna is one of my favs and an inspiration. It was good to hear another POV on what makes his images special.

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

In this series my goal is to introduce the photographers and the photos I like. Thanks for the comment

@JohnCBurzynski 6 лет назад

Nice video but I wish you would have shown the pictures larger.

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

Usually photos of the well known photographers are not found at higher resolutions

@peaseandlove 6 лет назад

Please which filter did he use for that ?? ND1000???

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

I don't know what filter he's using because he's shooting film ... anyway the exposures can get really long some times

@sureshkumar-gu9vu 3 года назад

great tutorial!

@dylanrander3862 6 лет назад

Love the pics, just not in love with the cursor moving around inside them.

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try in the future just to talk about the image

@clutton 6 лет назад

Great video Tom. I really like this concept of learning from master photographers. Would love to see more!

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

Thanks for the feedback. Next Monday check out another video from this series. Until then there will be the videos from Thursday and Saturday

@jettholladay6954 6 лет назад

Had to watch this because i love Michael Kenna!

@stevematadobra6117 6 лет назад

Love the concept of learning from other photographers..looking forward to your next vlog in the series!

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

I'm so glad people responded so positive to this idea :) ... next Monday, next video in this series

@websterroger 6 лет назад

Excellent - more please

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

Every Monday :)

@ginabroma 6 лет назад

Very helpful Video! I don’t like all of his pictures but almost all of them are good for teaching simple but stunning composition. And they encourage every photographer to let his images empty. Less is more.

@BonciuToma 6 лет назад

I guess what I learned from Michael Kenna is when I think an image is simple, maybe I should think again

@ginabroma 6 лет назад

Photo Tom I think, pure and minimalistic photography must be developed. And sometimes it’s luck ...
