I've had this documentary saved since 2015 and never watched it until now. I am embarrassed to say, I finally watched it this past Friday. What a beautiful photographer she was! Even though Vivian Maier is not with us, she remains one of the best photographers ever.
Absolutely love her work, i have thought a lot about the argument of her privacy, then i look at her pictures and the amount of self portraits is staggering, which indicates too me she wanted her pictures to be indentified with her, to say i took these.
This was really a great video on Vivian Maier, one of the best photographers of all time, good job! 👍 Your excellent presentation along with your interesting reflections on her enormous photographic legacy are top-notch. Well done 👍!
Excellent video, love Vivian Maier’s work. Photography in its purest form, never did it for the likes or money & I guess she never expected for any of it to ever see the light of day. 10/10 & a new subscriber
I very much enjoyed this, such a thoughtful introduction for anyone new to her work. I had such a profound reaction to seeing her work early on, that within a couple of hours I had got on a train and gone into London to a gallery that held some of her images, three of which I now own. Like many people I find her story fascinating, but as you very rightly say, we mustn’t become distracted from just how brilliant her work was. Looking at her contact sheets, tells you how extraordinary her eye was. The documentary is great, of course, but if you haven’t already seen it there was an excellent BBC documentary which sheds further light and was part of the Imagine series.
Thank you so much Fiona! I’ve got a great respect for Vivian’s work so I’m so glad you enjoyed this. I’ve yet to actually see an exhibition of her work but I hope to one day do so, and I definitely didn’t know about the BBC documentary thank you for sharing!
I just feel that joy looking at her work... with the kind of equipment she had to make due compered to what we have now... really proofs that it isn't the camera that makes great images but the photographer
Glad to hear it! Thanks so much for the kind words, Hannes! Going to try to make this a monthly series. There are so many incredible photographers to cover, but I had to start with Vivian.
One of my favourite photographers only really found out about her work recently but there is something special about it if I can have 10% of her talent I be happy
Really enjoyed this. I had to subscribe just on this video alone. Do you mind sharing your playlist as well, specifically the song "Moving On"? Please and thank you for your work.
I am 9 years too late.😂 but you soun petty. 9 years sice this video, you sat there and judged her work and insinuating that it was mid. How is your work? What have u acheived?
