@@maui_malard8218 sure, assuming your question was towards me. TL,DR : it comes down to personal preference and how one enjoyes viewing photographs. While it is perfectly fine to enjoy someone's work online I think it is far "better" to see if printed. At least for me The fact that I am 100% devoted on viewing one"s work through a book instead of scrolling through, is what makes the difference. I simply observe the little details more. A photobook is - supposed to be - a more cohesive expression of someone's work. I find the storytelling part to be much more present. Even if the book's content is less storytelling/documentary - style, the way each photo is selected to be placed next to another one adds to that. Regardless the photos being colored or black and white I find the quality of the photos to be superior when printed. I have gazed Sebastiao Salgado's and Alex Webb's work (so as to pick one of each) a lot online but the feeling of seeing their printed photos is totally different. There are photographers like the one in this video whose work is timeless, featuring exceptional composition skills. I find their work more educational than videos regarding composition rules and easier to absorb it when printed. Last but not least, you just can't find everyone's work online. For instance, while there are lots of articles and videos presenting the work of the above two photographers mentioned you will have a hard time viewing their full work. I guess that doesn't apply to young photographers nowadays who have a strong presence in social media.
On a platform littered with gear reviews and trendy hypes, it's quite refreshing to see content that actually focuses on the art of photography. Bravo!! Please do more. Here's a suggestion for a video idea.. often times my assistants would ask me how to find subjects to shoot when the location seems "empty and boring". Rather than simply "go someplace else", how would you approach that challenge? Keep up the great work and look forward to more insightful and thought provoking content.
Such a thoughtful video, each shot of his is so abstract & yet familiar. Especially being from NY, seeing these shots is like peering into another world, one that bears resemblance to the world I know. I can see why you along with countless other photographers have found inspiration in his work. That sense of meaning, a shot that speaks a thousand words. Something that can feel so personal & yet so universal. That is definitely what an artist strives for in his work. I've been hesitating to buy a camera, but this video really has me thinking. That ability to express a certain thought or feeling, and be able to share it for others to see. To feel. That is definitely something I seek in this life. When I start my photography, I will refer to your videos to learn, and to this book for inspiration.
Great video! I'm happy you took the time to correct the voiceover. I watched it earlier when it was unlisted somehow lol. I highly suggest his book "Color Correction" if you can find a affordable copy. It is a whole other side of his work, you'd dig it. He transforms the most ordinary things into abstract masterpieces in there. Lastly, totally unrelated to this video, but check out the 1985 film "Tokyo-Ga" if you want some more inspiration for your upcoming Japan trip. It's a good one showing the perspective of Wim Wenders traveling through '80s Tokyo. He was also the director/writer of the recent Tokyo movie "Perfect Days."
Enjoyed your Ernst Haas appraisal. Yes Haas was a master indeed and you articulated his life and work and books in a articulate and poignant way. Well done !
As a man, who studied history of the Soviet union, I say that it did imprison no solders, but nazis during the WW2. Austria joined Hitler's forses in 1938. This is why some autrians were imprisoned
Just grabbed the book from my library system. I have a habit of taking a book out one or two times, and then deciding I need to OWN certain books. (Moriyama's Record book was one, Maier, Jeff Bridges, etc.)
Wow and congratulations on another superb video, with amazing content. When I think of colour, I always think of Fred Herzog, and rather surprisingly Helen Levitt. Whose photograph "Boy with Bubble" (1972) is inspiring. However, when I think of the photo-book per se, I think of Japanese photographers and how their approach to the book itself is an art form. Dark contrast, monochromatic images. Even the paper seems, like rough eggshell, think Tatsuo Suzuki or even though not Japanese Ken Schles "Invisible City". Beautiful books. Subbed.
Thank you Faizal. Ernst Haas is my all time favourite photographer and he gets virtually none of the attention he deserves. I believe this is mostly due to John Szarkowski championing Eggleston over Haas, even though Haas’ work predated Eggleston’s in an exhibition at MoMA by over a decade. I love all three men’s work but Haas is unfairly sidelined IMO. Thank you for celebrating him, and I very much like your take on his work.
Robert Capa was not an American photographer! His real name is Endre Friedmann, who was born in Budapest. He was a Hungarian photographer, as was André Kertész!
Faizal, I'm really enjoying these video essays. Did you get your inspiration for doing these video essays from the great Sean Tucker? Your style is very similar to his. Keep them coming.
any tips on how to find different photographers work? I want to add photo books to my collection but without knowing the names of photographers or book titles im left not knowing what to search.
Amazing video, love the concept. Just a little precision : Robert Capa was Hungarian (born there) and French because he then emigrated there. He just became American late in his life.
All of you can said that Ernst Haas is GOAT of Street photography and i think thats true, but being GOAT is be what ever you are and im pretty sure that is what Ernst Haas do. So Inspiring video, thanks Faizal.✌✌✌
@@Nerdzombiedisco I'm saying that there's nothing cringe about pronouncing foreign name with extra vowel, especially when there literally is such form of the name. But what is cringe, it's to say the video is ok now, because it doesn't bother you anymore 🤡
Photobooks may sound expensive but they are the best investment one can make during their photographic journey.
Travel. Love books, but travel and shoot first.
@@MichielHeijmans that is the best investment in general, regardless if one is into photography or not :D
Would you like to share your thoughts behind that and why you think that? I dont disagree, just interested in yout point of view :-)

Agreed.
still amazes me how he got those shots with the gear he was carrying back then, love this book.

I like this series of you focusing on the Masters
This was a profoundly moving piece Faizal, thank you so much for sharing your insight.
Earnst Hass might be my favorite photographer of all time. He's a true legend.

Great vid!!! He's one of my heroes too... and what a dashing lad he was 🥹
Thanks!
Love this series!
Agreed, such a great format too.
Holy… That one was inspiring. Thanks 🙏🏼
Great video. Just one correction I'd like to add: Robert Capa was Hungarian
Excellent, Faizal . Elegiac. Thank you.
Such a beautiful essay ✨ Already had this book, you made me appreciate his work so much more w all that history 🙏
A poetic and evocative video. I was not really aware of his work so thank you for enlightening me.
I believe this is my first time watching this channel and really great stuff, keep it up.

A great introduction to Haas’ work - thank you! 🙏
Excellent vidéo, a respectful tribute, thanks a lot !
This was excellent. Thanks for this overview. I will share this with my friends.
That was just amazing! Thank you so much for this video! Inspired me to buy my first photobook!
Thx for your work and effort! Love your videos and perspective of photography.
Loved this video and hearing why Haas inspires you so much!
This was fantastic, really well made 👍
I wonder if he used tripods for the motion blur shots while keeping some elements very sharp - we have IBIS now, wasn’t the case back then..
Another great video Faizal! I’m in love with Haas work too.
i was literally yesterday re-watching the first two videos, i was waiting for this for so long :D
Thanks for sharing the work of your project!
Very well done!!! THANK YOU,Faizal…
Great video! Faizal.
Thank you for this. I really needed to see this. 🙇🏻♂️🙏🏻🧔🏻♂️❤️
Was looking at his book last night, so inspiring
one of my favorite books
the shots were incredible wow
just love photobook videos..can't wait to see more.
I've got his book three days ago. What good timing!!
awesome video about an awesome photographer - enjoyed every second of watching it :)
Love these video essay style videos!
thank you for doing this

Love the vibe of your videos
One of my favourite photo books in my collection!
thank you! greetings from vienna!! 🙂

one of the most awaited and best video series then street photography POV✌
Beautiful video!
great vid as always
I aspire to be a photojournalist. I just have one question how do I begin a career in photography?
Definitely see the influence of Haas in your photography
Nice work...
Excelent vídeo, Faizal!
Really excellent.
any tips on how to find different photographers work? I want to add photo books to my collection but without knowing the names of photographers or book titles im left not knowing what to search.
loved this!
Great video!
Nice film I learnt something new
Robert Capa wasn't American. He was from Hungary. His original name was Endre Ernő Friedmann.
Fantastic video
Amazing video, love the concept. Just a little precision : Robert Capa was Hungarian (born there) and French because he then emigrated there. He just became American late in his life.
Y'know, if history was reversed, I'd have no doubts that Haas was definitely influenced by Westcott! ;)
3:53 looks like an older Faizal.
better youtube add an option for double like :) thanks for you work
2:44; I have a smaller book of his work and this is the most poignant.
Wonderful. You should get some college credits for that fine essay!
Capa was Hungarian man....
Haha, finally it’s up again.
Had to fix it haha, I butchered the poor guy's name too many times
We don’t mind ❤️ He wouldn’t mind.
I was excited to see the notification, and I was waiting eagerly for you upload it again😍
Wow❤
round 2
All of you can said that Ernst Haas is GOAT of Street photography and i think thats true, but being GOAT is be what ever you are and im pretty sure that is what Ernst Haas do.
So Inspiring video, thanks Faizal.✌✌✌
❤❤❤
📸🎞
Here for the re-upload and corrected pronunciation of 'Ernst'. Cringe corrected. Now it's a good tribute.
Was it ‘Earnest’?
i mean, Ernest is a form of Ernst. Ernst is right here, but what cringe are you on about?
@@chopinshmopin It was corrected and re-uploaded.

Now I want Kodachrome back. :(
