Hope you all have enjoyed the video as Lisette Model is truly wonderful, also known as the queen of street photography for a reason, and we can all learn with her & also don’t forget to check today’s sponsor MPB: tinyurl.com/5fe5dw5z
You are making the most excellent videos on interesting photography. The audio/music, titles, photographs and discussion all provide a wonderful experience. I had never know Model, but now I feel like I've been following her my whole life. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much Ted! It means a lot reading comments like yours not just for the positive feedback but knowing that the viewing experience is appreciated too, thank you for watching 😊
Wonderfully made. Would never have seen her without this channel. Thanks a million for that. Valuable words for anyone - to follow one's passion and work hard on that. That photograph - a man playing the guitar -was marvelous.
I’ve come only recently to your channel. Your content, in particular your discussion of photographers, is exceptional. Very thoughtful and elegantly presented.
Your videos are always a treat to the soul. It must have been during my study over 35y ago that I viewed work of Lisette Model and I completely forgot about it. Your choice of topics is always thoughtful and your approach is so refreshing.To paraphrase Randy Newman: you’ve got a fan in me..!
Another excellent insight about the photography work of one of the pioneer . " Fear eats the soul" how true is that . Thank you for a fine lesson in the art of photography . Truly enjoying it .
I discovered her work at an exhibition of Diane Arbus and her contemporaries here in Melbourne a few years ago. I thought her photos were more interesting than Arbus. Good to learn more about her. A fascinating woman.
To be fair Roger I also prefer Lisette Model’s work, I just think it speaks louder to me, not wanting to degrade Arbus’ work and I discovered Model through Arbus and was fascinated with the fact that not much has been done about her in the RU-vid realm, thank you for watching ;)
Excellent. Your channel is now a must-watch in this house. So many today won't know about these past photographers, yet we can learn so much from them. Cheers T.
Very true, extremely important to look at the past in certain occasions to take lessons from and these incredible people who worked amongst so much adversity, thank you Geoff!
The more I watch your essays the more I understand that technique alone isn't sufficient to produce good photos. Inspiration and personal vision are more relevant and these are necessary to go from good images to meaningful images. Thank you and keep up the good work!
@@TatianaHopper this might not be the perfect guy to do a bio on but I find him immensely interesting. Roy Stryker launched the documentary photography program of the FSA. Photographers hired by Stryker for the FSA included Dorothea Lange, Arthur Rothstein, Walker Evans, Ben Shahn, John Vachon, Marion Post Wolcott, Russell Lee, Jack Delano, Gordon Parks, John Collier, Carl Mydans, and Edwin and Louise Rosskam. I just imagine if it was f for this person what would of been lost.
Thank you for this excellent bio on Model. I had only ever heard of her recently while reading a current biography of Vivian Maier who was a contemporary of Model while in her 20s, yet was not aware of Model at that time. The similarities in subject matter and technique between the two are very similar and I'm sure from the 50s and into the 60s, Maier had to be aware of Model's work. Interestingly though, Maier was not influenced by her, but ran parallel with the style and with a Rolleiflex camera. What a grand coincidence!
I didn't know anything about Lisette Model. I totally agree with her mottos, specially the last one, i.e. "New images surround us everywhere: they are invisible only because of sterile routine convention and fear." Thanks.
Same here, she has some of the most profound teachings I have read, and most of them are articulated in such simple language it’s just really good good advice for us all. Thank you for watching Julio 🤍
Good documentary short video you did here. I knew something of Lisette Model work, mostly because she was a close friend and mentor of photographer Diana Arbus. In many ways, Model encouraged Arbus to capture the world in a brand new way.
I feel so glad when you show us female classic photographers! From the top of my head I only remember Vivian Maier amongst the classic photographers that I can recall, and having more female photographers work's as references to study is much needed in our time. This is superb! I really enjoy your channel, the editing, the pacing, the ideas you open discussions about. It's a high point on my weeks whenever a video from you pops up in my subscription page. Please keep doing this spectacular job! ❤️ from Brazil
A rule of show business is to always leave people wanting more. Your videos do that. Not on purpose of course, but your material, perspective and presentation are wonderfully good. These introductions to various artists really help me to appreciate them and to broaden my perspective!
Her contrasts are amazing, such inky blacks. I know I should be paying attention to the subjects but it is her lighting and composition that intrigue me.
You pay attention to what captivates you Edward :) she does have beautiful contrast in her photography it is a very consistent trait of hers. Thank you so much for watching :)
Thank you so much for yet again another treasure trove of insight; it was great to learn more about Lisette Model. Beautifully produced video, as always.
Thanks for another great video and inspiration. I always look forward to seeing your videos. Just a little FYI. I believe The Embrace is by Egon Schiele, not Paul Klee. (2.52min)
I have come across a friend who knows how to work a camera but has no knowledge of photography and had never seen a Ansel Adams photograph your channel and Ted Forbes channel Art of photography where my picks to start to learn on
I truly enjoyed your research and discussion of this very interesting photographer. Also, I thank you for beginning to make your intro credits bigger. The smaller fonts are unreadable to those of us in the over 50 club. I look forward to your video presentations. You are quite talented :)
Thank you for watching Anthony and so glad you appreciated the video and the channel, and yes I realise that I have to be kinder to those on the 50 club and it was because I got some constructive feedback in previous videos! Always looking forward to improve even if little details :)
I love old black & white photographs. My fave are high contrast. I saved some rolls of Pan-X for my old Pentax mechanical camera that needs no batteries to shoot. I imagine that if there's an apocalypse, I'll be documenting it with my high contrast, slow Pan-X. Then, there will only be the challenge of finding a darkroom with chemicals, not so easy these days. Oh well.
I met her twice. First time in San Francisco in 1988 and again at the Eddie Adams Workshop in 1989. She critiqued my portfolio and she was a wonderful person.
A great piece on Lisette Model Tatiana. From what I've read and gleaned, she was a talented and complex person. Any chance of you covering the photography, life and times of Kati Horna? Keep up the great work; really appreciate your research, erudition and presentation of material.
If you are passionate about photography, the whole world is your subject. At least I take photos of anything that attracts me (as in nature, urban, street, portraits) and I capture with the same passion.
Maybe you can help me remember. There is a woman photographer form Mexico who does incredible work and she is still shooting today. I can't remember her name and I want to find her work again.
