Man, that girl in the train shot is simply amazing. Everything about it. Her stunning beauty. The lighting, composition, all the film characteristics we love, I could go on. You nailed it, a modern classic in my opinion!
GREAT portrait - at the Metro! Nice to see it wasn't one of those images that we lose beacause we are shy to ask/talk. Loved it! The point of classes is knowing others and exchanging ideas. Always very positive, also nice to see how other see our images. Ah, great body of work also! My best!
Really good video. To me your street photography has reached a new level & I agree that printing your photos, by what ever means, is extremely important. As you said that is what photography is all about. I think courage is the correct word & I wish I had more in photography.I'm working on it.
You've really inspired me to start making prints again. And that subway portrait is so divine, I can practically hear a heavenly choir singing in the background.
No no no… let’s untwist this right now. Your photo doesn’t look like an AI photo. AI Photos look like YOUR photo. Dig what I’m sayin? With that said.. this video opened my soul! Instant inspiration! Keep bangin Ribs! 🙏🏽
Really cool video. The prints were cool too. The light leak added an authentic feel to that particular image. Great stuff Ribsy. All the best from south Wales
I’m not sure if you’ve heard this bit of crit before, but I can only assume you’ll hear it at any class critiques you have at ICP. Look out for what’s behind your subjects. I noticed it a couple videos ago, but decided against commenting on it because it may have just been a one-time oversight. That other video was the street performer in the subway. I noticed there were a lot of tangent lines behind the subject’s head, and some of those photos almost matched the performer’s hair in value, color, etc. It became hard to distinguish between subject and background. I saw it again in this video with the bridge portrait. Too many lines and distractions in the background of your portraits can completely change what your images are about and how they read. I had a crit from my prof for my BFA when I was in college. I had put up a photo of a friend standing on top of a sewer access hatch with one hand over his eyes, and the other arm hidden behind him. Unfortunately, this access hatch was in front of some woods, and it was the winter time/early spring, so the trees were bare. There was a branch that peaked out behind my friend at around his far shoulder, and made it appear as though he was giving a Nazi salute, which was very very clearly not my intention with the shot. But because I didn’t pay attention to what was going on in the background, it changed my photo’s tone from adventurous to reverence to evil. For obvious reasons, I did not keep that shot for my portfolio haha.
When getting prints do you prefer matt or glossy prints? My local printing place only offers a glossy finish on paper prints and i never really like the way they look compared to my digital scans.
Have I ever taken a photo class? No, but I've taken a few workshops taught by prominent fine arts photographers. While these workshops were inspirational and provided some useful technical information, I have found that reading photography books and watching UA-cam videos to be more helpful regarding such topics as composition, lighting, exposure, and knowing the limitations of photo equipment and any materials that one might use.

yea i am aware of the bridge photo. i show it to share, despite my personal critiques of the images
When getting prints do you prefer matt or glossy prints? My local printing place only offers a glossy finish on paper prints and i never really like the way they look compared to my digital scans.
i prefer matte, or luster. i hate glossy haha
I have a question... how fast or slow you metered? the first photo is stunning btw...
what do you mean fast or slow? and thanks!
@@ribsy I mean how long does it take you to meter the scene? did you use a spotmeter?
Ektar 100 is usually quite fine grained if well exposed but in shadows I guess it gets noisy...
Yea the inside of the subway has very low light so my image was underexposed in order to get a faster shutter speed

yea its def not an end all be all. i think looking at all types of learning sources is a good plan!
@ribsy If you really want to leap ahead, try to find a street photography apprenticeship. You have talent, and you have an easy-going manner.
