great video, im happy for this youtube recommended it. finally talking about the interesting part of photography and i believe you captured ideas i was feeling also in a very bright and interesting way. thank you
Nan Goldin's work is so breathtaking, evocative and powerful for me. There is nothing quite like it. I got into her through the Ballad and it's all spiraled from there. I love her later work, which is often overlooked. With Fata Morgana and Eden And After in particular, but all of her work including the Ballad, it's like her camera doesn't even exist, it's like we are just experiencing things not just through her eyes but through her heart as well. The compassion and empathy in her work is so visceral and pure and the opposite of the saccharine sunset. She's almost like a spiritual guide (which makes sense with the Virgil comparison you made). Her work is elevated but there is zero condescension or ego involved, it is so subtle. And she is a master at sequencing images and carving the story out. I LOVE HER!!!
Never seen those, amazing, thank you. Somehow in all this large-medium format, shallow depth of field, Alex Soth wannabe kind of craze these are even more appealing. Wonderful work, great channel, thank you.
Gorgeous video! I laughed when you addressed her style and how for someone non-famous would have been hard to get away with it. To me the key to this is consistency and intention. Because if an unknown photographer would have put together a book with the same consistency and intention in style as Goldin, he would have probably been taken seriously. Said that, I hope you'll be making new videos at some point!
Glad to see a new video from you mate. You are one of my favourites on UA-cam. You are one of the super rare people who approach photography from an artistic standpoint and background.
Love your videos,specially the ones they you picked. You have given me a new light on photography. Will always remember the very last part of this video.
Funny how one thing leads to another on UA-cam I’m so thrilled to stumble on this channel - especially at this time - love these Goldin images and I agree entirely with this current obsession with sharpness and synthetic, soulless photos - it’s such a breath of fresh air to escape from the banality of it all - looking forward to delving into the rest.
Those words about sunsets cut me deeply haha. Well luckily for me being drawn to the cliché sunset has helped me on a personal level. I wouldn't have been there to see the sun if it wasn't for photography and I wouldn't have had the benefits of the exercise and mental health that came with the hunt. I appreciate its not always art. But I thought I'd give the other side of it
Thank you very much. Your channel has provided me a new thought process to look into a picture. The concept of fine, excellent or a good picture has changed in my mind. I henceforth look in a very different way. The way of seeing things will not be only by eyes, but with a mind and beyond. Thank you once again. 👍
I just love to listen to your comments (and also to your voice, by the way....) - they are inspiring, moving and it makes me thougthful. I'm always waiting for your videos, unfortunately there are just e few in this manner... Thanks a lot! (sorry my English)
I adore Nans work, especially the ones she is best known for and i'm even more glad to find out this other side and interpretation of her work, always connected with herself and the matter in such unique and timeless way, greetings from Perú :)
So nice to see a new video from you after such a long pause. Hope you are doing well and looking forward to many more videos like these. It has become increasingly difficult to find any non-gear/lightroom presets/affiliate links oriented videos on youtube and your stuff is always refreshing.
Justin, thank you so much for your insightful videos. I found a book 'Perspectives on Place' by J.A.P Alexander and it was my first 'Ah hah' moment - yay there is more to landscape photography than pastel sunrise/sunsets! The book led me to read more on Robert Adams, which lead to finding your videos. So you are reinforcing what's been whirring away in my head. Love hearing an artist's perspective, instead of photo judges going on endlessly about the rule of thirds. Please do continue. You are inspiring.
So you will surely enjoy Alec Soth’s channel from “Rambling through John Cage...” to his last (july 22) “Chance encounters”. Here’s the link: ua-cam.com/channels/HIxfgu7HE9_Tok9OGNrQ_g.html
I discovered your Channel last evening, looking for Robert Adams & then discovered so much more. Absolutely Love the Unique Content. Regards from Mumbai.
There is simply nothing like this of this quality on UA-cam, and that's taking into account what Alec Soth has been publishing here. Please open up a membership so I can support your work. I can't tell you how much I appreciate what you're doing..
Today, tonight, it already went dark, I have to give my congratulations to you: You reached a new level with your speaking and poetic looking on images today. At least for me, because, coming home from a little journey by cycle, foot, car, train and bus, I watched your new video and it encouraged me very much. You are the real observer (as Robert Frank might have called it). I enjoyed your talking and films for some month, but the encouragement was so big this time. Maybe for two reasons: I´m getting used to your voice and art of telling, and enjoy it even more. And I needed to be encouraged, because I´m at the end of an almost 7year journey with a photo-book project soon, to be exact, the following week (I have to do some layout work and corrections and this last ten days frightened me, it´s still a lot to do and all the questions (no publisher, no editor and so on). Thank you, I will send you a link or letter to the project later, and excuse my poor english, I´m from Southwest of Germany...
An excellent book. Easily found on Amazon. I am a university lecturer (photography) and this channel is very good. I sometimes show IMHO episode to the students when they start to think their opinions hold equal weight to the lecturers. I’m not sure why there’s been so few new ones recently but keep them coming. Intelligent views on the creative process.
Justin, I'm writing this to you in order to express my gratitude about your insightful video. I'm really loking forward to the next one whenever it comes. Hope you are well.
Terrific observations. Particularly your comments on photographers being "storytellers" a word I have perpetually disliked when used in connection with photography. Are writers now imagemakers? I concur with all your statements, so refreshing to hear someone talk about photographs with such eloquence, it's a pity the "usual" commentators are not as concise and straightforward in their delivery. You deserve a wider audience, perhaps you already have one. Here in the UK the only go to voice seems to be the man with the foundation in his name, and I don't think he speaks to me at all. Take a look at the work of Michael Ackerman, I think you'll appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time.
It's actually a Fuji XT3. I was thinking of doing a video on it despite being the guy who doesn't talk about gear! So I have to think about how to do it or if I it at all.
You could talk about the pictures you produce with it. I’ve used Fuji for five years. They are fine, good enough at everything, lots of dials like old film cameras, and smaller and cheaper than FF.
Impressive! And Here I'm asking for ur attention! Can u checkout a instagram photographer called "pc.koublis"??! And make a video about that if he or they're a interesting one? Personally i really find them interesting! Please man let me know ur thoughts on that?!
this work is painfully too blurred and personal amateurish too watch...i see your point but it is too staged to be authentic for me. thanks for your input.
The narrator seems to be lurking around the shitty photography channels feeling good about himself. Probably feeling like he's figured out the "art" behind photography. His condescending tone amuses me. And also, I feel like he probably thinks he's smarter than everyone else lol.
So many "photography" channels on youtube are really about cameras. I was glad to find your channel and I appreciate the content you're contributing.
Thank you Seth.
absolutely agreed

Only one complaint, I want more.. (very well done) loving your videos.
I love your channel……inspirational views on the art of photography ❤

Thank you. I have been editing my latest project for 16 hours, and I really needed this.
Love your videos,specially the ones they you picked. You have given me a new light on photography. Will always remember the very last part of this video.
Much to think about and digest in this video. Your commentary is just as interesting. Many thanks.
I loved this...I’m so glad I watched it!
Thank you, especially for your last speech

Beautiful essay / commentary. Enjoyed your thoughts very much and of course Nan Goldin’s work is breathtaking
Thank you.
that was an incredible review , thank you
Again, great video. Thank you for putting it out.
Wow ... what a great video. Thank you so much for the work you put into it!!!

Please, post more...
Really great job! Thank you so much for this channel 👍🏻

Your videos provide a completely different perspective, very informative indeed. I hope you continue to share your thoughts. Thank you!

Very touched by your words Mel, thanks!
I miss these, Justin. Hope all is well.
The way you explained that sunset image alleviated my anxiety
this is a wonderful book but so hard to find! wish i could find it. thank you for the introduction!

PS: What’s you new camera? Not interested really.
It's actually a Fuji XT3. I was thinking of doing a video on it despite being the guy who doesn't talk about gear! So I have to think about how to do it or if I it at all.
You could talk about the pictures you produce with it.
I’ve used Fuji for five years. They are fine, good enough at everything, lots of dials like old film cameras, and smaller and cheaper than FF.
Low grade mic, bare bones editing.... Feels appropriate for talking about Goldin. Sets an atmosphere, y'know.
@Teerplatz maybe true, but UA-cam is full of videos with fantastic production values and bullshit content. My format, I hope, is the opposite.
@@stilllife-artandthephotogr3494 It is.
