This is such an excellent video but as a fan of classic mensware I feel compelled to point out that his shoes are not black dress shoes in the image you first broke down his attire. He was wearing black athletic shoes. Dress shoes tend to include balmoral, Oxford, Blucher, and derby shoes made of calf skin leather. Boots can also be considered dressy if they are made of calfskin leather as well but the boots you wore are better described as heritage footware. However, shoes with thick foam soles are not considered formal/ dress attire. I would love to continue exploring this topic with anyone else who is interested because I find the nuances to be very engrossing. Great video as always!

Thanks! I don't know much about fashion so this is very instructive.

@@ImitativePhotography fashion, like photography and all else technological and creative has such a depth of history and expressions that both keep me well compelled. I absolutely love your content because I’ve only been shooting for a month at this point so getting these wonderful analysis and technical breakdowns and replications are so valuable for the educational materials they offer all of us. Thanks!

@_ErickRangel Год назад

These videos are incredible. I love how much research and dedication you put into these!

@ImitativePhotography Год назад

Stay tuned! Got more videos in the works.

@Damendraify Год назад

Fully agree - love the content - just stumbled on to your page -can’t wait for more!😊

@muhammadridwan1915 Год назад

thanks for making this kind of channel, i love it because you are not only imitating the technique aspect, but also it has a background story from the photographer ( the most photographer skip to do it ) , research.

Thanks, glad you enjoy it!

this is such a gem of a channel. thank you

@donpaw1162 Месяц назад

This is a bit late, but I just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work and dedication you put into every video you make. The art of photography is rarely discussed anymore, since everyone always talks about the equipment they use. Afterwards, I went back to basics, browsed some old photos, and came across your channel by chance. As a result, I became a fan of your story.

Thank you for the kind words!

Great video and photos too. You've done Bill proud 👏🏿

@fid29801 10 месяцев назад

I love your content. Every time I have 20-25 minutes of free time I look to a video. I discovered new photographers and I rediscovered some old ones. I love your style and appreciate the time you take to do your research. The clip at the end is amazing with the voice over the photos you took. But what I appreciate the most is that you do this amazing work with what equipment you have.

@ImitativePhotography 10 месяцев назад

Your channel popped up in my recommendations and I'm very happy about it! RU-vid seems to be finally starting to recommend lesser known channels. Instantly watched most of your videos. Great work so far, you deserve a lot more subscribers! Greetings from Germany :)

You are the best. Trying to imitate grand phothograph is a bright idea. I like very much what you trying to do. Thank you very much.

@sail02878 Год назад

Great work! Love the niche you have carved out with these videos. Would love to see one about your process of establishing the target photographer's style - I am sure there is a lot of research involved but you seem to have uncanny insight into their methods and mindset. Anyway, keep up the awesome work!

@ImitativePhotography Год назад

That's a great idea!

@pedrobrienzafilmes Год назад

Hey man, just discovered your channel by "accident". Very good work. Shout out from Brasil :)

@kdgeckoknits274 11 месяцев назад

This was great fun. I was a huge Bill Cunningham fan, and looked forward to On The Street in the NY Times, and, as technology advanced, online. I love the photo-fashion collages Bill curated. I hope your find your similar path there in Toranto. Gotta love street fashion and flare. You paid beautiful homage to Cunningham.

Uplifting in every sense! Thanks for making me aware of him & his stunning body of work - I will quote his words about Fashion: "It's the amor to survive the reality." It has already struck me positively in your video about Alexey Titarenko that you are not afraid to inevitably "fail" with your attempts, no wonder in direct comparison with the achievements of such masters (nevertheless, I liked the protest photos mostly very much). Reminds me of the thesis that in every "imitation" lurks the chance for a "productive misunderstanding" ... the best example remains for me the story with all those american bands that after the first tours of the Beatles, Rolling Stones or Kinks just wanted to sound like their english idols and invented Garage Punk in the process. So: keep trying :D

@ImitativePhotography Год назад

Exactly, you always learn something by trying!

I'm gonna request an attempt on the William Eggleston style. I reshot the famous tricycle picture years ago. Sadly I haven't gotten any offers yet. I was hoping to trade it for an apartment in Paris.

@ImitativePhotography 2 года назад

Just a matter of time 😁😁😁. Request noted! I was actually tempted to try his airplane cocktail pic on a recent trip but the wing was blocking the view and it seems planes are a lot more cramped nowadays.

@ImitativePhotography 10 месяцев назад

Haha really what class?

@wv_ Год назад

I am dyslexic so reading about well known photographers and studying their approach through books has never worked for me, it’s great having these videos on photographers after watching so many videos about directors/cinematographers

@keithnichols7926 Год назад

Bill Cunningham had the entire history of clothing in his mind and knew on sight exactly the place in it that each person's costume occupied. He detected trends before anyone else, as is acknowledged in the film about Bill.

@MasKpt Год назад

That was some serious commitment you put into this. Very well done ;) Side note: you ended up deviating from 24mm after all haha

@ImitativePhotography Год назад

Yeah the zoom lens got me too comfortable haha

@RealMattCook Год назад

I’d love a video showing how you do your videos of your work.

@Der_Marc Год назад

Come on, u got ur chance at 14:06 for a major shot ;-) Anyway, the music and the end with the voice from cunningham was epic. I enjoyed it a lot.

@ImitativePhotography Год назад

Yeah I know, still kicking myself for that 🤣. With the King sign on the bus in the back it would've been perfect.

@mrbaco753 Год назад

Con tus videos me están dando cada vez más ganas de salir a sacar fotos, pero la cámara digital que tengo a mi disposición es muy grande (y cara) y llama mucho la atención, eso lo veo no solo como un posible problema para el resultado de las fotos si no que por la inseguridad de que me vayan a robar. Y lo rollos están muy caros como para usar la cámara analógica que tengo que es mas chica :(

@ImitativePhotography Год назад

Es una lástima...

your action camera has better look then the Nikon , strange .

What he did is now illegal in Europe pretty much. Not the photography itself but its use for magazines and such. I'm not sure how to feel about that. On one hand I guess someone can't take a picture of me picking my nose (or other such things) and put it in larger than life print on the main street (there was a similar case in Germany some years back or the Technoviking controversy), on the other hand, in most cases (like the magazine), I don't feel a functional difference between this and being under camera view throughout the day when just walking around the town. CCTV is being covered by taking pictures for legal purposes while for artist its very much a gray area, especially if you are profiting from that work financially.
