    War photographer (2001) - about James Nachtwey, famous American photojournalist. It really opened my eyes to what it means to be photographing war. I'd say it's hard to watch, but worth it.

    I think Tomas did the best he could do with the Saul Leiter documentary. Any time it seemed like he would try to explore Saul’s influence or creative process, Saul seemed to get a little annoyed, once to the point of apologizing later for his actions. That added to the fact that Saul had the right to nix the whole film if he didn’t like it placed added restraints on the depth of the content. I really loved the intimacy of the film and how Saul warmed up to Tomas eventually. Love all of your work ….. would love to see your take on the documentary “A choice of weapons”

    Thanks so much--one can learn so much from reading about and seeing other photographers in action and discussing their work. As the video progressed, I found my self thinking "I hope she includes Winogrand" as he's one of the most interesting characters in the history of photography, and I often think about how he'd view (or even more so, comment about) a scene. Our DVR is programmed to record American Masters and I was overjoyed to see the one on Garry. I never get tired of hearing him and although our styles are rather different, his attitude definitely affects my work--especially (and importantly), helps keep it fun!

I'm sorry to say it didn't work for me as a vehicle to get further into Leiter's work. As for the Julius Shulman film, I enjoyed that a lot.

    Thank you, T. I watched the really good Winogrand docu first, as he is the one on the list I can relate to the least. That is not about his style, Leica with 28 on the street, but the hoarding of all those undeveloped rolls of film. There is a funny connection with Saul Leiter here, who went to Strand bookstore all the time, buying art books he never unwrapped. It appears that we sometimes collect to keep our demons at bay. While I have more photobooks that I can I look at, stored in a 3 meters by 3 meters shelve with a movable ladder, there is still my rosebud in there, a Robert Capa book that started my journey in 1984. I really liked the way the film was put together, and the sensible way people like his first wife and Tod Papageorge talked about him. And it's always good to see the incredibly talented Mr Stuart.

I liked the warmth developed in the Saul Leiter one, especially the connection developed between Leiter and Tomas Leach - the lo-fi production seemed to add to the intimacy. The McCullin one was even harder to watch than I thought it might be, but there is real wisdom in it. It was great to see Harry Gruyaert at work during his documentary - the dedication.

      @@TatianaHopper I didn't stop the binge watching there. :-D Also recommended, that I watched - Colin L. Westerbeck, Jr.'s 'Joel Meyerovitz: Street Photographer' from 1982, in which Westerbeck does a superb job drawing out of Meyerovitz how thinking, methods, and approach while both men are on the streets of Manhatten c.1981; Alan Yentob's 2003 'Martin Parr - The World According to Parr' as part of his BBC Imagine series; and from the same series, 2009, 'The Colourful Mr Eggleston'. All of these may be found on UA-cam.

    Just one thing...
    I'm Flemish Belgian like Harry Gruyaert. His name is not very easy to pronounce in English correctly since it has a vowel that is not used in the English language.
    So I guess the best way to pronounce his name would be something like: grew-art or gru-art
    I don't mind if you totally ignore this 😊

    It has become somewhat of a commonplace for people to throw around “storytelling” as one of the elements that made them like or dislike something - and they probably think it makes them sound knowledgeable in the process - but it’s really meaningless because storytelling in the sum of all parts. I for one thought the Saul Leiter doc was a very interesting portrait of an artist; good balance of intimacy, fly on the wall and introspection. Not sure what you didn’t respond to, exactly, but I would say you probably had a set of expectations clouding your appreciation of it.

    • @TatianaHopper
      @TatianaHopper  Рік тому

      I had some expectations but that did not interfere with how I watched and perceived the documentary. I judged it from someone who has experience working in documentaries, studied docs in film school and watches a lot of docs. This does not validade my opinion more than others it’s just how I see things in my personal experience. Storytelling in this case would mean structure of the documentary, even people that made extremely personal or intimate documentary movies like joris ivens, Chris marker etc.. that is absolutely niche have a somewhat connection of ideas and a more interesting / concise way of giving context / create an understandable connection between first act / second / third. So I didn’t throw around a word without knowing it’s meaning and context within what I’m talking about. If you watch my channel my opinions or thoughts always try to be as informed as possible. In the Saul documentary I didn’t feel cohesion, didn’t feel grasped, didn’t feel contextualised, felt like there could’ve been more scenes or shots inside the apartment, music came along at the wrong times messing the rhythm and flow of the film itself, also there’s an issue titling something as life lessons when the person in question is only giving biographical details without any other intent then describe how he got a camera or other small details in an objective way. So each to their own :) peace!
