This is such a great series man! Gordon Parks is one of those photographers whose photos are so striking that it is immediately obvious how creative and talented he is. A major inspiration.
Gordon Parks I had somehow never really heard of him. I knew many of his pictures because I have seen them somewhere but never had the name to it. amazing what a great photographer. 😯
That is incredibly kind. Thank you so much! Gordon Parks is one of my favourite artists of all time, so I am glad this video resonated with you, and thank you for sharing!
Gordon Parks had to overcome so much in the form of racism & inequality during his lifetime. Nevertheless, he was able to use his immense talents & his tenacity to rise to the top in his chosen fields of photography, music, literature, motion pictures, etc. Upon his death, I was fortunate to be able to travel to Delaware to view his works of photography. It left me completely in awe & still does so today, despite the advances in our digital photography medium & computer generated AI images that saturate our society & culture today. Rest in peace my friend, your legacy is a constant source of inspiration to millions of people throughout the world. Thank you for sharing your many gifts with others.😊❤🙏
Beautiful video mate! Never heard of the man before but will definitely have a look on his works. Any recommendations as most of his books seem hard to find? Cheers!
Thank you so much Noah! Glad I was able to introduce him to you. His work is super expensive from the official Gordon Parks foundation. Let me do some digging and I will get back to you, but for now his website has most of his significant work in archive. The Gordon Parks Foundation 👍
@@thefilmdaddy Thanks Brendon! I checked out the website, lots of stuff indeed! The book ‘The atmosphere of crime’ seems available in some places so I might try to get a copy of it. Thanks again mate!
