The Street Photographer Who Only Takes Blurry Photos 

The grain is mostly due to the GRII high contrast black and white preset rather than high ISO.

This is a great idea - to take the work of a photographer with a specific unusual style, and explain how they achieved the look. However no matter how much you master the technical side, it requires a long term devotion to a particular style to become as good as Olga. I once spent two months photographing Paris deliberately out of focus (not moving) to get an impressionistic style. Even though I took hundreds of such photos deliberately every day during that time, the number of keepers were relatively few. When it works it's beautiful; but just moving the camera or defocusing the lens is just the beginning. The message to anyone who wants to try working "outside the box" is find a style you like and then explore it extensively. I really enjoyed the video. Thank you.

I bought the trilogy. She is quite amazing. We love the books. The thing is, her images are very evocative and emotionally charged. They aren't just ICM photos for the sake of getting blurry photos. Anyone can take blurry photos. If you look at her work you will see creative genius at work.

It's NOT ABOUT HAVING A DISTINCT STYLE! It's about having a honed visual interest (love). The style takes care of itself. Find out what you actually like. See what opens the door.

Found your channel while looking around for photography ideas. I've been a hobbyist for 5 years now and only just found out about ICM photography. Olga's work is incredible, wow. Thanks for covering it!

Just when I think I've seen the best videos for my photo journey, one like this comes along and re-sets my thinking! AND with a GR8... Love it! Go go Olga!

This is the most underrated photography channel . absolutely amazing content , Keep it up . Subscribed !!

Great video! Olga's work is beautiful. Such an underrated effect and wonderfully refreshing when you consider how so much of this gear centric industry is focussed on "sharpness" as a predominant factor for quality photography. Thanks for posting!

Excellent video. Thank you for bringing Olga Karlovac's work to my attention. I love it. It's amazing what can be achieved with a point and shoot camera and controlled ICM.

Definitely one if not the best photography channel

I really enjoyed this. I love photographs that give me a feel like a painting. I have experimented with some long exposure/blurry photography in the past, but this artist and her work really captured me... I love it. It speaks to me so much more than the ever so sharp and accurate photographs we see and take every where. Thank you for sharing this.

This is the best photography channel on RU-vid. Thank you

love your work! one of the best YT channels

Great video. I hadn’t heard of Olga, so thank you for sharing. You did an excellent job with explaining the technique.

such enjoyable images you took, and well explained! Can't wait to try. Thank you to you and thank you to Olga 📷📷😎

Just found your site and this video. It's great that you show her work and then the recreations, which were very good. Subscribed.

WOW! What a great teaching ‘finding your style and committing to it’. A fascinating story, and excellent video. Olga’s work is very appealing, and your practical demo is very engaging. Thank you very much 👍.

another great video: almost like a delightful lecture I can not get enough of. Thankyou

Excellent! Great explanation of how it's done and photos to match, thank you!

Fantastic vid, fam. I love her outlook...plus, the HCB quote is timeless. Subbed.

Thank you for this video, love Olga's work

Fantastic video, well done. Also, love that the comments here are super thoughtful and nuanced.

Great Video. I did not know of her. I love her style. It shows that sometimes we should step out of the box we put ourselves in listening to everyone telling us only sharp images are right. I will definitely experiment with this. Thank you for your video.

That was an awesome presentation! It also made me think of the work of Saul Leiter and Monaris. I appreciate your discussion and analysis of Olga Karlovac’s photographic style. I am definitely subscribing to your channel :)

Love this… She does amazing work. Was great seeing you showing her technique. Nice commentary too…

Thanks for introducing me to photographers and photographic styles I knew nothing about. Persistence and vision paid off. I agree that the body of work helps sell the style even though each photo has interest in its own right.

It's really great and helpful what you are doing! Thanks very much! And continue!

Great video, your narration and thought process explained and then executed well with the graphics in the video showing the settings and ICM direction(s). I would like to see one of these done for the ICM photos I see of surfers riding waves with a horizontal pan. The surfer is mostly frozen still but the surrounding waves/water are nicely blurred from the ICM

Thanks for introducing me to this artist’s work - amazing

Love this. Thank you for showing this technique

This video inspires me a lot. It takes me to another dimension in photography. Many thanks! 🎉

Love this kind of artistic flow

Nice idea to breakdown and try re-create the style of a photographer you admire. A great learning tool more people should use!

Really enjoyed this post !

This channel is beautiful. Thank you ♡

Excellent video. Well done! Thank you for sharing. I’ve been fascinated by motion of late. Her work is stunning.

I love the video game esque overlay you put over your photo walk. Especially with the diffracted sides it reminds me a lot of MGS

Inspirational. Thank you!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. This video is amazingly important. I love it and needed it. 📷📷📷

Love this womans work. Will start working with it in my Style. 😎📷

Thank you for a really interesting and useful video. I found the technical camera data really helpful.

This really cool too see, you imitate a Photographer's style. I subscribed and am looking forward to seeing what other Photography Style's you explore.

This is so cool. I've taken a few photos like this unintentionally. Yet i love them. The ones I like the most were actually taken with the tiny Pentax Q. In camera high contrast monochrome filter. And they all happened during a holiday in Lyon France.

That was commitment,going out to shoot in that weather in Toronto! I was shivering just watching it.

Thank u very much for sharing ! She s great, i love blurry photos. Good work !

I work with a point and shoot.. I haven't done anything in a while.. but now I understand how she works.. incredible stuff

She is amazing, I never heard of her before, thank you for the discovery. Now i need to find money to buy her books !!

It’s awesome finding out about photographers who are working in your home town ❤️ Ps: pleeeease do an episode on Elizaveta Porodina, i have no idea how she makes images like those

Nice work bro, nice shots of yours also! Interesting video, thumbs up!

Spectacular

Excellent video. Well done! Thank you for sharing

Beautiful work!

Just lovely, thank you

So glad to have stumbled on your channel! You are really helping me past a photographic doldrum by this content I get to see photography re-imagined. Than You🙏🏼

What a great vidéo, very inspiring

It took me 15 years to even start getting over the stupid concept of "sharpness". Its just so stupid! It does not matter how sharp an image is if it is not an interesting photograph! These days I focus on taking interesting images instead. I see so many young photographers hung up on sharpness, this just stops them from developing a good eye for photography. Its just sad.

Wow, I love this.

great work and great reproduction of the style!

Thanks for uploading, that was very interesting and informative

Very creative idea and excellent photography congratulations!

Cool vid. Love the bag shooting technique! I like shooting without people knowing that you're taking pictures, way more candid. Will try it.

This is so good! Thank you

Thanks for this great and inspiring video 😃👍🙏

I just want to thank you very much for helping us ❤, you are really amazing I like your videos

Amazing Job 👏👏👏

Some really good examples - well done

Very nice video. Good concept, well-narrated, and interesting content. Technically excellent.

love it, love it, love it

This is cool, and shows that often the difference between art and just doing a thing is scale. If you can commit to a style or aesthetic large enough, or long enough, it shows your intentionality. The method becomes the art rather than the images themselves.

Nice discussion and love your work.

Thank you so much for this! I've been trying to figure out how to do ICR but you've given me a great starting point!

Informative video, and great images!

I really appreciate this video. Thank you.

awesome.. love your work

I love this technique, I have tried ICM and have got some very satisfying photos from it but this video has inspired me to try some more, thank you for sharing

Perfect! Thanks for sharing

Excellent !!!

Love it. After my camera got stolen in an armed burglary, I had totally left learning. Now I feel like starting again. Thank you.

Your video was really interesting! Thank you.

This is so amazing.

i've see three of your videos so far. and every time your'e in a different city. respect. (also i looooove berlin)

6:49 was probably my favourite shot, great job!

Great info! Thanks!!

Wow, I don't even have a proper camera yet, but I'm looking into getting one soon, so I'm obsessing over photography lately. After seeing these photos from Karla, all I feel is a sense of ominous horror and emptiness. I quite like it. So very cool in a world of photography where everyone wants to get that crystal clear shot.

LOVE IT!!!

Fantastic shots

Really enjoyed this one.

What a great content!!

Thank you! Very inspiring video. I have a GR IIIx and live in small coastal tourist town. I'll be out on the street tomorrow!!

Nice work! Thanks!

Excellent, thank you! Subscribed!

Muy bueno. Una tremenda fotógrafa Olga K. Gracias por compartir. Voy a probar esa técnica. Saludos desde Argentina

Very Interesting. It leaves you to think and your imagination of what is happening in that moment., and surrounding.

Thank you! Very interesting story!!!

Really enjoyed the video, well done, Thank you!

Well you’ve gotten my attention! Thank you!

Oh, I was thinking on doing this but only with people's faces because I can't picture them in my head. I want my photography to represent how I see life. So this makes me more confident about it 💚

Very useful channel, thank you! The two other (quite different) photographers that I think of with slow shutter are Paolo Roversi and Ellen von Unwerth . Both of whom had a different focus, and then entered fashion.

great explaination of how ICM works

Very cool
