THIS VIDEO: Robert Adams described photographer, Judith Joy Ross work as “a record of compassion.” And Gregory Halpern, called her “the greatest portrait photographer to have ever worked in the medium. She and her work aren’t flashy, and that’s probably why she has a low profile. It’s also likely because she chooses subjects that are outwardly unremarkable - but if you’re prepared to really look, you start gaining extraordinary insights into the individuals as well as into humanity as a whole. She manages to present her subjects with a straightforward simplicity, but captures the complexity that makes each human unique. As a self-confessed, social loser, she is intimately familiar with the awkward and painful realities of life. She manages to connect deeply with her subjects during the short period that she photographs them and she walks away with portraits that speak volumes about both them as well as about herself.

Fantastic video! I was familiar with the three girls in bathing suits photo, but not her other work. I love her comment on it.

My next photobook purchase will be from her. Call me nostalgic but I truly find her work and the work of others of that era ( 1960s - 1980s) to be of such a high caliber of excellence, that it is difficult to even get close to their level. Thanks for the video Graeme.

There might have been the same percentage of dodgy work in those days, but the good stuff has filtered to the top.

Another new discovery for me from you, many thanks. The music worked great as well.

Thank you for making this.

Thank you for introducing me to a photographer I was not aware of.

She doesn't seem so widely popular, bt I think that she's great.

Thanks again for introducing me to photographer I have somehow missed. Timeless is an overused expression but her images definitely fit.

Hi I'm glad you like them. I think they are beautifully shot.

I think her work is quite incredible. So real but yet so tender. She captures with beauty. I would also say that her work is feminine and as a male I enjoy the insight - I seriously doubt a man could have taken these pictures.

She doesn't seem as popular with a lot of viewers, but I think her work is remarkably subtle and honest.

I discovered your channel only weeks ago and am now systematically watching all the videos. It is an excellent channel and your choice of topics and your insights are great. This is now one of my very favourite channels and I will certainly revisit some of these videos. The fact that it is by fellow South African, is extra lekker! 😅

Hey Desmond Thanks for the vote of confidence, I appreciate it.

@@PhotoConversations going through your channel really is an education, I will make a point of mentioning it in the comments sections of other channels I also like, and who's audience may not know about you. You deserve a much larger audience! Ted Forbes has largely stopped doing what you do here, so for insightful discussions about photographers and photography as art, rather than endless videos about sharpness and fetishizing minute differences between brands or lenses, you and Tatiana Hopper rule supreme.

Hi Desmond That would be really helpful - it is a real problem getting the word out there. many thanks!

I took some studio photo courses years ago. The first one was with a 4x5" camera and a few years later I got a 2nd hand 4x5" camera. I never used it because by then I could not make room for a photo lab in my one room flat. But I still like FF cameras and the good picture quality. I like the good background in the pictures. But I´m not a portrait person so I have problem with recognizing the natural look on people’s faces.

It is such a specific skill to recognise and capture the unguarded moment.

Really excellent video, Graeme. It will save me bothering with Ross's photos in the future. Good photos, just not my sort of thing. Why do I care about August Sander's life-long series, and not about Ross's? Possibly it has something to do with the fact that Sander did NOT believe his portraits were all about HIM. His first publication co-incided with the period of 'Neuer Sachlichkeit', usually translated as The New Objectivity. 'Sachen' are things.

Hi Lloyd Thanks. I didn't feel that she was in any way trying to portray herself through her portraits. She was more interested in connecting with real emotions. Perhaps I missed something?
