    I absolutely love that he points out, "my hotel room looked like what it looked like." So often do we see images being made of vintage sceneries or cars today, because we want that nostalgic vibe (im guilty of this myself), but those things weren't vintage when he photographed them. Dont skip out on a making a photograph because there is a 2017 honda civic in the way. In 40 years, people will say, "i love how nostalgic these make me feel..."

      Yes! I found myself cursing when a beat up Honda is in my shot. But now I try think well this is the car of my time!

    "I felt awake when I didn't turn my mind off" that right there is feeling that got me into photography. So often in our lives we don't pay attention to what's in front of us, we never fully see life as it is. Thank you Nowness, now I have another photographic hero whose work I can admire:)

    I reckon all photographers are super visual, highly aware of tiny moments on a daily basis that they want to capture there and then, but only a handful of them produces photographs make others ‘feel’

    I never find Stephen's compositions boring. His work is deeply fascinating, artistic and iconic.

    I really really like these pictures. Finally, I found a photographer whose work I actually resonate with. And I dont have to alter my view of the world to fit into the ideal aesthetics of photography. His pictures are raw, not mundane and unique. They are exactly how archives should be, not arranged in a symmetry but left how they were supposed to be. The rawness represents movements to me which you can only understand when wr think of how the subject got there the way it is. There isnt much to explain. It is plain observation.
    This is what it is to me.

      He's one of my favorites. If you aren't already aware of them, I would also suggest checking out the work of Joel Meyerowitz, William Eggleston, Janet Delaney, and Fred Herzog.

    @rivh1399 3 роки тому +2

    I didn't get his photo before but now I kind of understand that is exactly what he aims for. Maybe it's more about the act of deconstruct what photography is. Like what if we just appreciate average things as they are. In a way, it's the mundaneness makes his work brilliant.

    Never heard of Stephen before someone mentioned his name in comments under one of my videos so I checked him out this is the first vid I’ve watched about Stephen initial thoughts love his street work and his still life snaps would have been very ordinary back when shot but with the passing of time they’re literally a snap shot of times long gone that’s the power of photography. Like and subbed and will check more of stephens work happy to keep learning 📷❤️📷

    When somebody back in the day asked you if you're a photographer too, sharing the same interest and passion, it was a connective act of affiliation. If two photographers today meet, it is only competition and an envious d*ck comparison - like "Oh you got a Canon? Well I shoot a Leica" or "No I won't tell you what or how I do things, because you may steel from me." It's not about the art anymore but about status.
    It is this kind of narcissistic attitude I had to deal with a lot in the last 10 years. Photography has changed so tremendously that there is no real connection within the photographers community anymore (if you can even call it a real community). The only connection that's left is between a photographer and other people's opinions. Sad development in my opinion.

    • @by_alexrbr
      @by_alexrbr 4 роки тому

      So true, I experienced that so often. Oh I got an L Lens blabla, I have 20 lens so I am the professional. Oh your 100€ prime lens is so small and cheap, what you create must be shitty. People care so much about gear not a message that they have unbelievable sharp crap instead of a soul in the pictures.

    • @hikerbyday
      @hikerbyday 7 місяців тому

      I find this to be a sad perspective, but it is certainly not a universal truth. My own experiences in interacting with other photographers has been much more open, interesting, and informative. Granted many of the photographers that I converse with are either amateurs (like myself) or professionals who are beyond the point of trying to earn a living by their photography, but still very active. I wonder if the responses you've recieved weren't influenced by the nature of your approach.
