Love how you set up your own composition for this video in the Wes Anderson style!
Wes would be fuming because it's probably one or two degrees off perfect symmetry :D I remember hearing that whenever Wes enters a set, the first thing he asks his DoP is if the shot's absolutely centered, multiple times :D I gotta say I understand the obsession, owning a Laowa 9mm F2.8 lens which is so wide that it can be quite tricky to make it render a room completely symmetrical with regards to all perspectives and axises.
came to the comments to say the same! well done
I wanted to say the same 😊
I LOVE that racing photo at 2:50 that you don't like. It's so cool how the people in the BG are skewed to the left but the wheels of the car skew to the right. The sense of the car pushing forward and the observers being left in the dust is quite powerful.
Love the framing of this video :)
Thanks Steve! Glad you enjoyed it :D
The photo of the lady holding the magazine is amazing! It's not often that I stop and pause a video to look at a photo! Thanks Alex
You are so welcome!
I love the connection between Lartigue and Anderson. Thanks!
informative video on the influence of Jacques Lartigue.
Thank you so much for this incredible channel!
In a world filled with endless technical photography content, your channel is like a breath of fresh air. You dive deep into the heart and soul of photography, unraveling its artistry, and reminding us of its true essence.
Over the past decade and a half, the photography world has been swept up in the social media frenzy, often losing sight of the diverse purposes and stories that this medium can convey. You are a true teacher. Your unique ability to dissect photograph and explain it is valuable . Your emphasis on the thought process and creativity, over the technical aspects, is a game-changer. While there's an abundance of content covering the technicalities, you teach us how to explore various types of photography and challenge our creativity, taking our skills to a whole new level.
Keep up the fantastic work, and please know that your efforts are deeply appreciated! 📸🎨💡
Thank you so much, thanks for watching
I’m was just watching Sugarman while my tooth was being pulled, 10 mins ago, my dentist has Netflix at his office! GREAT TOPIC!!!!
I had never heard of Jaques Henri-Lartigue until this video. Thanks for the mentions of the books! I ordered both The Invention of Happiness and Life In Color. But I still say you need some affiliate links. :-)
This channel is the best for learning about photographic history and for uncovering photographers whose work I ought to have a look at.
Wonderful!
Another great presentation, thanks Alex!
My pleasure!
Thank you for the light heart and the inspiration. IMHO your videos take us beyond the art and craft of photography and delve into the human spirit.
I find it really interesting to watch the tutorials on analyzing the 'Wes Anderson Look' - I've learned a lot about color from them.
What I find amazing on JH-L is the fact that most of his pictures has some sort of movement. There is always the implicit idea, or the very obvious, image in movement. I dont know if he was the first to do it but he was at the very least someone that did made the "still photography", not so still. Where there is no movement, there is the casual side of things. As if nothing was planned, as if he was at the right time at the right place and he registers something that makes you ask questions.
Thank you. All the best. 👍📷😎
Thanks, you too!
merci et bravo pour la conclusion !
Hi Alex, I thoroughly enjoyed the story behind Jacques Henri-Lartigue, taking photos of what he liked it's a great philosophy to have. And his photos were original taken in his own style. Always like to hear positive things in photography and that's exactly what we get from your Channel, positive, happy and fun content. Thank you for sharing this video. 😃
Thanks for watching
@@ThePhotographicEye Your very welcome Alex 🙂
Love this!! Now I really know why I have such a soft spot for Lartigue. ❤ And I see what you did with the video palette and set! Ha ha ha!😂
The race car pic is very similar to a series of negatives I have from my aunt photographing my father racing model t's (1930's). Considering the speed of films and camera shutters back then, capturing those speed demons was quite the accomplishment.
Definitely do a video on Autochrome. I love it. I gave a talk to my camera club a couple of years ago where I emulated a number of analogue photography techniques in digital in a way that both created an effect and educated about the original. The most ambitious (though not strictly a technique) was an emulation of Autochrome. I may make them into UA-cam videos one day.
If you like Autochrome as much as I do I'm sure you are aware of the images produced by the developers of the film, the Lumière brothers, and the body of work commissioned by Albert Kahn. I can look at it all day.
BTW I too love Lartigue's work. In fact I like it when any small child is handed a camera... the perspective, both literally and figuratively, is always interesting. I started photography aged about 8 with my father's old 127 roll film camera (Ferrania Ibis 34).
Thanks for watching
What a coincidence. I've just watched "The wonderful story of Henry Sugar" about 2 hours ago. Such a brilliant film. Thank you for publishing this video in the right place at the right time :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video on a photographer that I've never heard about.
Wonderful video, wonderful photographer (recently got into it, so I was happy to see this video)!
Funnily enough, I also have this confusion about his name, I keep saying Latrigue.... someday we'll get it right.
Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure!
Great video Alex and I love the color grading. ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much!
Great info!!! Thanks for getting the wheels turning!!!
No problem 👍
Wasn't he the first who started to photograph motion? Of course Muybridge photographed motion but he did it in a studio. Lartigue took it to the streets.
By the way, on topic of photography inspiring film makers, have you watched the movie 'Carol' by Todd Haines? Cinematographer Ed Lachman was inspired by the work of Saul Leiter. And is shows...
I'd like to think I'm influenced by Ernst Haas, Saul Leiter, with dash of William Eggleston mixed in.
My pet theory is that the photo of the lady in furs with her dogs was referenced in Howl's Moving Castle.
Great vid!
Thank you
Please forgive yourself for having mispronounced JHL's surname!! I loved this video, very interesting. Mr Latrine (sorry!!) was a brilliant photographer, an amateur in the best sense of the word. He was just a nipper when he started, amazing how he developed his style, often persuading his family and friends and servants (his father was one of the richest men in France) to collaborate with him. Also a great record of the lifestyle around the well heeled parts of Paris and where they had their holiday home on the Channel coast.
Thanks for calling attention to Wes Anderson and the photographer who was his inspiration. Get set, by the way, to demonstrate your point.
Amazingly compelling images. Anderson is also heavily influenced by the postmodernism of Jacques Tatí with films like Playtime.
Ooh, the trendy teal/orange with low contrast look.
Thought it would be amusing to do a video in a Anderson style while talking about Lartigue :D
@@ThePhotographicEye It was...I'm just teasing.
@@ThePhotographicEye I'm a huge admirer of his work. My favorite is probably The Royal Tenenbaums!
"...and the meek shall inherit the earth."
i luv your channel
Thank you
Two words... Jay Maisel. Check him out. It just may change the way you think about photography.
I feel like you're trolling us (in a nice way) with those Wes Anderson colour drapes behind you...
Well, this was a nice idea - to make this video Wes Anderson style itself … 😁 (Not perfect, but the main elements are there. Your acting is not quite right, not static enough … 😉)
Glad you enjoyed it! It was a fun little idea
Glimmer glass? you look softer than usual.... or maybe it's a latent effect of the color language and symmetry.
Its the same lens as always. I think it must be the result of the grading
You look like ben affleck
Or Ben Affleck looks like me :D
Normally enjoy your presentations, but I found this too convoluted in it’s structure and presentation. Please consider this constructive criticism.
Hi. Thanks for watching and the feedback. I was playing around in this one just for a little variety.
