Photographer Spotlight: Diane Arbus
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- In this video i talk about the short career of Diane Arbus and her impact on photography as one of the most influential female photographers from the 1960's. I begin by showcasing her work in the "new documents" exhibition from 1967 that was featured at the new york museum of modern art, and continue with her aspirations for a new book called "family album". Finally i end with what i believe to be her most cherished body of work "a box of ten photographs" which was released just one year before her suicide in 1971. Please join me on this long journey to pay tribute to Diane Arbus for her wonderful contribution to modern photography.

Hi. I really miss you and your amazing videos. I am a photographer myself and love analog photography. I live in old viking country north of Stockholm, Sweden. I hope you are OK. / Anders
Great video and nice to see and hear your enthusiasm. Really miss your videos!
Best thing about the lockdown is 3 videos from Travis in one week!
Then nothing for a year and counting
Terry Breedlove Shame. He made a positive comeback and then gone again. Can’t see him returning, his heart was not in making the UA-cam vids.
@@teleaddict23 Another channel that just ended with no explanations. But had a fast growing audience and tremendous possibilities was grain TV I think it was called. But he seems to have had some kind of emotional break down. He attacked a few people in the comments when they said things like long time no see, good to see you back etc.
It is so awesome to hear about her life, this lecture-style video is great!
Yessss!!!! Keep on going. Love your videos!!! Do more pls it really helps on these quarantine days
Thank you so much for this video. I really love this kind of in-depth look, I can learn a lot from it. Please do some more. 👍🙏
I hope life is treating you, miss your videos.....all the best
Why tf this channel stopped updating? This is good quality material, man.
I have been getting some inspiration from photographers of that 60s era lately. I love the wonderful work of Vivian Maier also. Got me thinking, who are the photographers of today that will be recognised in years to come? I can't think of anyone because everyone is a photographer now. When you've got Instagram with millions of images, how would it be possible for someone like Diane Arbus to stand out today?
Fonejacker I truly don’t believe anybody can. That’s what makes these photographers so special. They truly loved photography and put the work in back in a time when work was required to be a photographer. These days canon and nikon have removed the need for any real effort and has invited everybody to be a photographer the “easy way” it’s a tragedy really. It’s so hard to set yourself apart from the pack when the pack is so fucking huge! Back in these days it was parents with Kodak instamatics and then real dedicated photographers. There was a clear difference between the two and the amateurs never claimed to be the professionals. Unfortunately those days are over
ForesthillFilmLab Totally agree! Such a different time. A good photo actually meant something then because we weren’t bombarded with images. To be a good photographer was a skill, you had to know your settings, be good at manual focus etc and the cameras were expensive. The downfall was definitely the switch to digital accompanied by Instagram. Great for amateurs but killed it for genuinely talented people.
You may wish to check out the work of British photographer Iain Mckell, I understand the work of Diane Arbus has been a big influence on his photography. www.iainmckell.com/ #Iainmckell @Iainmckell
That video its very precious. Thank for this man! I´m studing her life and i´m very happy to find all of this thing about her. Thank you from Brazil!
Hi Travis. Nice you are back here! I am half way through your video and I just ordered the book ( new documents ) you are presenting. : ) Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this, please make this kind of videos about photographers works more often, you are a great reviewer.
Great video. I hope you’ll be back soon. All the best.
Diane Arbus also worked with her husband, Alan Arbus who was also photographer. Reading books about her life she learned a lot about photography working as her husband’s assistant and setting up studio sets and acted as a behind the scenes jack of all trades. Once she broke away from her husband and started her unique style of photography, she was well on her way. I’m glad I recently found your channel and have been watching your videos. Though long 😉 I’ve found them informative and fun to watch.
Miss your videos friend
Travis, really good vids - hope you're well and busy doing your film photog thing 👍
Absolutely splendid we are here today only because of those film photographers that has / had that extra something that others that have a film passion can appreciate & hold in high regard.
Come back soon Travis we miss you ! 📷 📸 🏙
Miss you Travis!
hello Travis ,no more video ? I hope you are going well and healthy ? best wishes . daniel from france
Very good explanation on the Greats and their approaches.
Damn good video of Diane Arbus, Travis; she is one of the best.
Where have you gotten to its been awhile
Keep making videos man! You and Eduardo Pavez Goye are my favorite resources for film photography on UA-cam -- I'm picking up a pen f for triptychs after seeing your success with it!
Great channel
Travis!! We miss your videos man, hope you doing great & come back soon!!
I wonder if he survived covid ...
Excellent.
No videos in a long time. Everything ok?
Just been reading about Arbus in Susan Sontag's book. Love the little guy with the toy hand grenade. Thinking about maybe incorporating it into a wrap design for my car.
glad you talked about one of the masters
Hey Travis, not sure if you're still looking for video ideas but if you are, I would love to see your take on the technical differences of medium format and 35mm photography. There seems to be a lot of misinformation around what can be accomplished with medium format, and "the medium format look". You always seem to explain things better than anyone else so maybe its something you could look into tackling
Sad someone with some much promise. was lost to suicide. A thought that grows too big for one person to handle and all it takes is for one to speak up. and say they there dealing with it to go on. Travis a tribute to Arbus and topic that need to talked about. Suicide can happen to anyone.
Loved the video. Love all your stuff, thanks........but kept waiting foe your elbow to take out that Nikon F!
There’s a photographer named William Mortensen that had a feud with the f64 group, and due to this he was avoided to be mentioned in the history of photography. You should check it out.
A Box of Ten dedicated to B.F. which you mention was the one she gave to 'Bea Feitler' whom she met in the Art Department of a Harper's Bazaar where Marvin Israel her friend and lover was Art-Director for a while. When Israel was fired due to 'miscommunications' she and another colleague took over. (see 'Revelations p. 166ff.) Diane also suffered from sever depressions which is why she took her own life. She had inherited the predisposition from her mother. A therapist whom she went to see did not get a grip on her. All the details are displayed in the excellent biography written by Arthur Lubow which you might want to consider reading.
Where are you? Are you still with us? Miss you, touch base sometime with a new video. Hope all is well.
Ok, last video is 8 months old, he is in the limbo again :D
Interesting, I did not know about the box. Check out Masao Yamamoto's Box of Ku.
Hope all is well
Are you still providing film processing and scanning? I'm getting back into film.
Make a video of your book collection
The Barbas haha I’m tryin too little by little! I’d have a lot of heavy lifting if I wanted to showcase them all in one shot
Patricia Bosworth's biog of Arbus is excellent. It shows another side to her. Her relationship to her sitters (some described themselves as being 'Arbused') was complicated. The power of her work isn't wholly benign, and you can feel that looking at it.
We miss you 🖤
When are you going to post new content its been awhile. Are you ok?
So where did you go?
Any more videos soon?
GREAT video! Thanks for sharing. I just had a photo class cancelled at night school. This was better. familiar with Weegee?
tom C I am definitely aware of who he is but can’t say I’ve extensively studied his work enough to share any deep insight. I definitely need to brush up on my weegee!
Dude. Where'd you go?
Great video, thanks.
I believe she pronounced her name dee-ann.
Glendon Humphrey oh hmm I would have never known that
@@ForesthillFilmLab I heard her name spoken in this documentary:
Masters of photography - Diane Arbus
ua-cam.com/video/Q_0sQI90kYI/v-deo.html
Yes, it was DEE-ANN.
Ben a long time. Hope you’re well.
Why so long have no new video 😞
Hell yeah
Travis, you cant talk about analog photography and cameras and wear a digital wrist watch! A G-Shock!? of come on, u need an mechanical automatic, all stainless steel watch ;P
Hey Honey It's "DEE ann"! Check out this movie: ua-cam.com/video/SODvv2xxvgI/v-deo.html
Sorry Travis, its great that you share stuff, but your vid is full of inaccuracies and assumptions that end up being misleading.I know quite a bit about DA, and its almost painful to listen it at times. Love your passion though...
DEE-Ann. Not DYE-Ann.

LoO0LoLZ
I got three minutes in and I couldn’t stand another word.
Point point you hadn’t actually said anything other than you’ve been given a book.
Arbus is legit... however, no way she could make that work in our cancel culture of 2020.
