Big fan here Ed. Thanks for the updates!

Wonderful. Thanks.

No update on Diane Arbus namegate though

I did remember to say about the liking and commenting but did it right at the end! So please do like and comment on my videos. As a niche UA-camr it helps to get UA-cam to share my videos to people. Thanking You!

Keep reminding us non subscribers of the channel membership!!! :)

Love the intro haha

do you think photographers who look ugly, bald, neurotic and sick can network in a healthy manner and have a career? (asking for a friend)

The best kind of portraits. Some of these reminded me of Mark Steinmetz work (but color). Sub'd and followed on Insta. Fantastic work!

These are beautiful, thank you for sharing.

Seagull was defo posing!

Such great work Ed! Inspirational.

People in their natural environment, just simply being themselves tell stories that make your pictures unique and engaging. Much more interesting than something staged, even if the poses aren't "clinically" perfect. I love this stuff!

Free 🇵🇸! Sounds so depressing familiar. You should take a look to The Silence by Gilles Peress.

That is a strong body of work, man!

To get into the Taylor Wessing prize, your photo needs to be one of the following: Identical Twins Mother with baby looking like a religious depiction Old famous person small in a large setting Amputee showing prosthetics and looking proud Person doing their job looking wistful and sad Black youth/youths with hoods up in an urban setting Young child bathed in golden hour sunlight Very dark, low key lighting shot with a sliver of light illuminating a small part of someone. Someone in bed Muslim woman with headscarf with looking forlorn Trans person stood looking proud Pre-pubescent girl dressed in adult clothes and makeup Girl with a horse Incredibly old and frail person Very ginger person with wild hair and freckles Young person laid on sofa looking apathetic The Prime Minister I'd say yours fit the _Young child bathed in golden hour sunlight_ category, but obviously not enough golden light to qualify.

Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing!

0:56 Just thought you'd like to know: President Jefferson got a kick out of seeing himself in this. Bill Barker is a friend of mine and I got a chance to show him this clip over the weekend. When he saw you in the next clip, he said he had a vague recollection of you filming.

Wonderful work. A well framed candid shot tells so much more of a story than posed pictures. It captures something genuine. Your photo of the frisbee girl is the type of thing I bring up whenever someone says photography isn't art: the art is how the photographer controls the narrative. That single frame, out of context and with your framing/exposure choices, turns a fun game of frisbee into a pensive walk to nowhere in particular. Similarly, I have a picture from a funeral memorial service that, in isolation, looks like a well dressed trio having the time of their lives at a black tie ball (smiling/laughing over glasses of wine while sharing memories of the decedent).

Just fabulous. I’m on a break during an environmental portrait shoot for a client. I should show them your video !

Did you use waist level finder or eye level prism?

Beautiful work. Just gorgeous.

I know someone who hated X and moved Threads. He made some comments about a country in the Middle East and was promptly banned. Freedom of speech is priceless.

how do you now bruise the scene by raising a camera to these people? I find people tense up when they see me with a camera around

Really enjoyed seeing this! There's a sense of fond appreciation for the people and place that comes through well I thought. Great stuff!

Oh my goodness! Wonderful work, Edward! Loved the photographs! Really nice images, I like this type of documentary photography very much. Congratulations on the book! Well done •

Where's the lizard king!?

Hope your chicken portrait won awards, it's great!

I call them observed portraits :)

I loved this and love to work like this with my own photography although it's incredibly difficult. I did a documentary project very much in this style for the Emmaus charity some years ago and it was one of the hardest challenges I have ever done. I've grown so much as a photographer since then and looking back at those photos i'm sure i could've done it far better today but it could be me being far too critical of my own work.

Wonderful portraits and very insightful analysis. Best line: "I didn't make Dave fish that day." Classic. Thank you.

Best way to get those shots and give them that special something. Love that place, shot there lots in the early nineties. You worked hard on that book project, some very interesting results and yes, 'something about the unposed moment'. Appreciated.

I know this is a stupid way of making portraits and it's not something I've been able to do in over 1000 professional portrait assignments.... But man, it seems to be the way to me. I hope I managed to get that across in the video. It's such a strange feeling. I guess if you've ever taken a street portrait of a stranger and it's just been perfect you'll get what I'm banging on about! Thanks for watching

Those look like magazines…what makes it a zine?

I am now betting on Mastodon, Threads and BlueSky not sure which will win, I am not keen to be giving Meta any more control over peoples lives than it already has so I am not keen on Threads, I do like the idea of both Mastadon and BlueSky they seem to have more promise if only people I follow and who follow me where to use one or the other of the last two I would be happy. It relationship to where the people we want to engage with are that network effect is still to reveal itself. I for one am going with using my Blog more again and posting to all the social media platforms while I work out which is better for the work that I want to be known for.

Is genuinely shocking how many people (assuming they actually are people) in the comments are coming to musks defence. Twitter has made opting out of AI training impossible. That's such a detrimental thing to the art world. Even if you take the other problems that musks takeover and "free speech" have caused that lack of freedom to opt out of AI is something that nobody should tolerate, especially artists.

The tapestry looks class

Craig Fleming is one of the reasons I use threads - he is the gift that keeps on giving. Joined Bluesky last year on an invite; pretty quiet until recently so I’m starting to use it more. X has got steadily worse for me in terms of reach and community in the last 6 months. My account is still open but I’ve barely checked in or posted there in a while. Hey ho.

I just wish X worked like Instagram, I prefer that platform and how it keeps your photos. If Elon ever made it more like Instagram, I'd be gone and never look back. I use Instagram more as a diary of my photos and journey in life. So don't care about engagement even though I do get some at times. Any sidework I get has all been from word of mouth since this is just really just for me.

Not only are they fleeing X they are also fleeing the states... Apparently Ellen and her wife have already settled in the UK, perhaps you can look her up and share some tea and biscuits coupled with some liberal tears. Delightful.

I've bailed from Twitter. Musk owns that battlefield and the best way to fight him is on a battlefield of your choice.

"photographers are fleeing X" is the weakest, most veiled wording of "thin skinned fools are leaving the biggest platform that they have available to them" -- no one with a rational, sane mind will miss these ones, they can't think for themselves anyway. If your argument is "going where the left is" which is your entire argument, you may want to look outside and see that this is a cancelled crowd who wont be having a good time in the next four years. You learned nothing from Bud Lite and Jaguar I guess.
