Brilliant presentation! Winogrand was a true Gangsta with a camera and untouchable talent. Listening to any of his talks gives a great view into his approach and attitude towards the art form. A real legend.
It’s frustrating how many great books are out of print. Certain photographers have next to nothing that can be purchased at a practical price as a result and if they did new pressings they would sell out almost instantly for sure.
They sell out fast! I went to his last show at the Brooklyn museum of unpublished images and it was great. I have most of his books, that I collected over the years. If you’re ever in BK you can come by to look at them.
a little late but i would love to see them if im ever in the area lol. im only 24 and something that always frustrated ne since i was a preteen getting unto photography was the inaccessibility to printed works by the greats. the prices are just so high for many pressings i would die to study so i havent had the fortune to view many works especially frim winogrand. @@Brooklyncameraclub
I've been waiting for you to do GW. This is so awesome. Well expressed. I've read a LOT about Garry, watched a few documentaries, borrowed a bunch of books from the library. You really covered this so well. I'm so glad you're out here rocking this out.
Thanks! I’m going to try to move into some more obscure stuff, but it’s a little hard to do the research for those lesser known people. Any other legends you want to see covered that haven’t been covered to death on UA-cam?
@@developingtank - Campbell Addy. Just watched a doc on National Geographic something or other on Hulu about him and the story was interesting for several reasons. You might be equally inspired. Really decent photo book. Fashion, which isn't my jam typically, but you'll see why the art of it is interesting.
Great as always dude! I prefer his color photography and Winogrand Color is my favorite of the 5 Winogrand books I own. I also love how he seemed to use longer focal lengths in the color book - aside from just the wides.
Thank you! With those other books do you see much crossover in terms of duplicates (or at least near duplicates) of photos taken in both black and white and color? I only noticed it with the photo of that couple carrying the monkey, but then became curious if he did a lot of shooting with both film types at the same time.
@@developingtank To be honest, I can't remember off the top of my head if there was crossover. I don't think he was shooting the same frames with both like how you see in Joel Meyerowitz's photos. Winogrand's color photos seemed so different than his b&w. I was pleasantly surprised when I got that color book. Felt like a different artist lol
An amazing amount of work! I love it. All of the undeveloped rolls would be a mystery to bring to light! Reminds me of Vivian Maier who left an amazing amount of undeveloped work as well! Great docu on the man! 😊
awesome video! garry was the one who dragged me to the world of photographing the streets and environments around us! thx for sharing in a nice presentation
Felt the need to comment after seeing your view counts. Budding photographer here and im going to binge this series with my wife. Very digestable and interesting videos on a quick take of these artists lifes. Thanks for the hard work, it is appreciated. Finding inspiration from other photographers, or even talking to them sometimes is very difficult for me. Found photography as an accident a few years ago and now its a part time job and full time obsession. These videos have given me some great areas to explore for inspiration. Again, thank you!
Thank you! The main goal here was to find a “favorite photographer” in order to educate myself and others after being on several photo walks where others could hardly name another photographer, let alone their favorite. Happy to hear you’re getting something out of them and thanks for the support. 🫡
Great video, well structured and interestingly prepared. Great job. I don't get what it is with UA-cam that people who do sub mediocre, boring and repetitive camera and gear reviews where they just rattle off some technical facts get more attention than well researched videos like this one...
Not developing the shot rolls he left behind would be a tragedy. Granted, if much of his artistry was in how he developed or printed work, like Ansel Adams, then it's only partially his work. Likewise, he wasn't able to curate the work, but that doesn't devalue the work or justify trying to divine his wishes. A much better case could be made for not releasing Vivian Maier's work, who was extremely private. I am all for respecting last wishes. We have no specific knowledge they opposed release and publication. In both instances, they did not destroy their work or toss out the undeveloped film. They've both been lauded & their life's work celebrated and that is good for everyone. The video clip of him faking "befuddlement" was awesome. I loved it. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the well thought out response. As you say, I have to believe Winogrand wouldn’t be bothered by the curation after the fact, because he seemed to care so little about the development process and the photography community at large has greatly benefited from seeing these images.
In an documentary about an with Winogrand in the late 70s or early 80s he said he stopped shooting color because it would take him too long to ever develop it. Being fully aware of the masses of rolls he had undeveloped already.
Ah, that’s interesting. I try not to watch any documentaries about the photographers before I finish the videos, because I don’t want them to heavily influence the writing. I need to watch that one.
@@developingtank I just searched for it, I've watched it a few years ago on UA-cam. However the full doc must've been deleted or something. The documentarian has a UA-cam channel with few excerpts. I did forget that it is dubbed in German, though. But IDK if the full doc is in original sound English somewhere to find. www.youtube.com/@EnglerMichael/videos
@@yeohi That's what he said in a conversation with another photographer shown in this documentary. That's all I am saying. True or myth. It's the same question if it's true about the color film being destroyed and he decided against it because of this, allgedly.
I’m often amazed at some of the images on old SD’s that I thought were “throwaways.” Sometimes you’re in a different state of mind and can’t see beauty in images in that moment. I feel Winogrand may have had the same feelings. The photos should be developed to see what treasures we may find.
I feel the same. It’s clear that it’s a good idea for any photographer to hold onto their work and go back through it at a later date, because they’ll likely find something they love there later on.
Thank you for the video! Which book are the photos from in the first three chapters of the video (Overview/Intro, Who is Garry Winogrand?, New Documents)?
Thank you very much, I watch all the episodes in a row. But this is probably the first time that I didn’t understand the author at all. Compared to Ernst Haas, Gruyaert, Alex Web or Leiter, these are all random blind shots. It is clear that if a person has thousands of photographs, then simply according to the theory of probability, there should be good ones among them, and even quite a few. but I could not understand the value from this mountain.
Thanks for watching them all. I think most well known photographers from that time have similar amounts of photos, but his color work that he didn’t even interact with is much better than his black and white stuff that he curated himself imo. Definitely an interesting character.
I confess to not liking Winogrand the first time I saw the 1982 documentary you show a small excerpt of. I found his approach towards his subjects dishonest and ethically problematic - the way he would pretend to not actually take pictures and sneak up on people. But I've softened up, and I must say that I'm happy he was able to document his times. Thank you for a reminder that he existed and that it's time to revisit his images.
I have a lot of mixed feelings about his work. There's a lot of good shots shown in the video, but also a lot that I find to be terrible photos. For having a collection called "Women are Beautiful", there sure weren't very many beautiful images of women, for example. But other photos of his are really good. I know it's hard to be consistent as a street photographer too though.
Winograd was a guy who took a lot of photos during the Mid-Century, was passionate (aka compulsive), and had friends at the MoMA. Not really a great photographer nor artist though.
There is nothing amazing about Winogrand. Why you ask? Anyone that loves photography and takes that many photos there will always be enough amazing photos to make a hand full of books…
Brilliant presentation! Winogrand was a true Gangsta with a camera and untouchable talent. Listening to any of his talks gives a great view into his approach and attitude towards the art form. A real legend.
Thank you! Yes, I have the documentary about him, but was waiting until I finished this to watch it. Looking forward to seeing him in action.
It’s strange given Winogrand’s influence and large body of work, the only book of his in print right now is Winogrand Color.
It’s frustrating how many great books are out of print. Certain photographers have next to nothing that can be purchased at a practical price as a result and if they did new pressings they would sell out almost instantly for sure.
They sell out fast! I went to his last show at the Brooklyn museum of unpublished images and it was great. I have most of his books, that I collected over the years. If you’re ever in BK you can come by to look at them.

Best synopsis I’ve seen
Thank you 🙏
Being present, non existing, 'banging away' and passing. He lived for the experience, that hit, all else, mundane human life.
Such is life

🙌🙌🙌
Great Job!
Thank you 🫡
I have never heard of this photographer, but now I want to know more about him!
Get after it
Great video
Thank you
Knowing that he had so many undeveloped rolls of film makes me feel a bit better for having loads of rolls to develop myself aha
I’m right there with you
I enjoyed this story about Gary. Nice job.
Which of his books are you highlighting during this video?
Thank you. The physical book in the video is Winogrand Color.

I's a nice technic to pretend having trouble with the camera hahaha
I think so too 😂
daaaamn. he shouldve gotten digital camera

Impressiv information about rolls shot and money spend.
