It's a pity, that you upload a video only once a month. But after watching those i get why. You are putting so much effort in the editing so it just an absolute joy to watch them - no matter the content. And on top of that you can really tell how many thoughts you are putting into each and every one of your videos. Everyone tells a story, everyone teaches me something and in everyone you can tell it is a Jamie Windsor, because you are putting your own thoughts and feelings into it. I really appreciate your work. Thank you. Keep it up and stay healthy. Greetings from Germany.
Quality over quantity - always! :-) I much prefer a channel where not to too much is posted, but the content is always meaningful -- without "empty words".
Spot on comment Simon. Looking at the Joel Sternfield images, you could easily skim through them, but then with a little bit of JW commentary, you start to see the compositional constructs, the placing of subjects/objects, the framing used and particularly the use of colour as a compositional tool with the echoing of shapes and colours. Good work Jamie, keep it coming.
God damn man! I'm a novice to photography and before finding your channel my mind was "photograph anything and everything whenever I have my camera with me" but your videos bring a whole different perspective to the table. Before you, I watched mainly videos about the technical aspect of it, framing, exposure, etc. No doubt, great and important stuff for a beginner but you put forth the human aspect of it all. The intrusiveness, the personal side of the moment captured in the image. It can be avoided, sure, get a telephoto zoom lens and shoot from a far but then its just technical, isn't it? As a beginner, I won't stop taking 150 shots while walking around for 2 hours but I will surely think about what I'm doing a lot more and a lot deeper from now. Kudos!
I feel like I always learn something from your videos. You do a great job of exposing people to other forms of photography in a world currently full of trendy Instagram posts and overused photography tips and tricks. Thank you for your great work!
With these videos, I always feel like I've learned so much without even realizing I'm watching something educational. Definitely one of very few channels that I regularly check in on and often find myself rewatching much of the content. Thanks Jamie!
Few channels get me so excited when they upload a new video as yours Jamie. Just pure inspiration and love for photography to keep the creative juices flowing. Keep up the good work and I hope you're keeping safe and sound during these challenging times!
I watch pretty much all of your videos at least 2x. Apart from every masterful video essay that you produce with such a keen and investigative eye for that subject, i then go back and watch again realizing what a tremendous job you do with the edit. Simple things 99 percent of viewers wouldn't even think twice about, i am constantly in awe of your transitions, framing up of everything and how it flows perfectly from one to the next. Then i realize, having said all that, that it is spectacular that you are able to work so fast a to produce a video a month or every two months. Always excited to see what you have made.
Thank you for providing 12 minutes of well considered, high quality, insightful and inspiring relief in this time of madness. I predict I’ll be viewing this one again. In fact, having some extra time on my hands, I may binge watch your entire channel (again) in the vague hope that some of your insights rub off on my photographic fumblings. Stay well.
Thanks hugely for this, and for your other very thoughtful and so carefully presented videos. I asked myself whether, or what, the elaborate and dynamic presentation contributes to the effect. Or, to put it another way, what does all the visual pizzazz add to you talking and showing the images? And I have to say that it adds a lot. The overall effect is to create a volume around the questions asked and the answers given such that the messages echo and the tempo of our thinking is regulated -- slowed or hastened, magnified or shrunk -- as appropriate to what is conveyed. I can easily exhaust myself just considering the amount of effort it takes. Thank you!
This was a very inspiring documentary-biography of a photographer I'd never heard of. To think these were made on an 8x10 camera is incredible, especially as today we are obsessed with burst-rates being insufficient and autofocus inaccuracies. It goes to show what can be achieved when we slow down and think carefully about each image that we make. I would love to know more about the way Sternfeld chose his subjects and how long he had to interact with them before deciding on location, composition, costume, etc. etc. Thanks for posting this video and for bringing this body of work to our attention.
Thank you. There's a lot to be said for slowing down and thinking more when taking photos. I also would like to know a bit more about the 'behind the scenes' of this project. It's not his most famous work so the amount of information around on it is limited.
These are exceptionally excellent photos, but very easy to underestimate, I don't know what non-photographers think of them, it'd be such a pity if not recognised by more people.
LOVE the videos. They have helped me so much. I really appreciated the breakdowns of his photographs here and I hope you do some more videos like this. Maybe one breaking down other famous street photographers or a whole series that goes over lots of different famous photographers and what made them so good.
I enjoy your passion for photography and thank you for introducing Sternfeld. Didn't know him. I have been shooting strangers for years and I absolutely love those brief encounters. :)
Great video Jamie. Thanks. Really interested to check out more of Joel's work. This collection reminds me of Niall McDiarmid's street portraits who, as you said about Joel's work, you could easily underestimate. In my opinion.
Yes Jamie! I've been waiting for your next video. As always - Amazing. I have a question regarding depth of field and f stop that this video sort of touches on. I fully understand the concept you mention about not shooting wide open and being careful about choosing your depth of field. However, i sometimes struggle hitting the right spot. For example, I know i don't want to be wide open. And I'll pick an f stop that I think will blow out the back ground enough, whilst having all of my subject in focus, only to get the image home and that not all of my subject is in focus. Ive struggle to find a video or article that advises on how to pick an appropriate f stop. I understand the concept of depth of field and aperture and I know there's no hard and fast rule and the scene will dictate your settings, especially in natural light. But do you have any advice or can you recommend any reading or videos that might help? Thanks in advance.
There are a lot of factors that go into how large your depth of field is: the angle of your lens, the distance of the subject etc. The only advice I can really give is to keep practising and eventually you'll start to know which f-stop to use in which situation.
@@jamiewindsor thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate your time. I suppose that takes a lot more time when you're not currently tied down to any specific type of photography.
Not sure if it is because I'm not from the US or if I just have not enough empathy for strangers in general, but to me it's just a bunch of mediocre pictures. And I don't mean it in a disrespecting way - it's just the usual problem with art I guess: either you get it or you don't. And if you do not get it, you don't understand why other people do and vice versa. ;-)
I also make portraits of strangers with my 35mm film camera and I love the time and care you spent showing the craft behind a photo, there’s so much things you are looking when you are taking a picture. By no means I’m near the “perfection” of his work but maybe someone can see what I do @lodelabuelo
@@jamiewindsor Can you make Kodachrome presets for Capture One? I have a Sony and love the fuji colors ,but cant find presets. I found your video about Kodachrome for Lightroom.
I don't use Capture One I'm afraid. I don't think it can support colour profiles like Lightroom can which is the foundation of how I get the Kodachrome look.
Joel is actually my uncle. My whole life I’ve known him as my photographer uncle that gave me my first camera, but only now as I grow older do I realize the significance of his work in the scheme of my favorite artistic medium. This video truly helped to highlight that for me, I will definitely be showing this to him but I’ll be surprised if he can sit down for an 11 minute long video about himself.
Did you get him to watch it? If you did, what was his reaction and thoughts about it? I'm curious how an artist would react to people analyzing their works!
I personally shoot alot of cameras that don't have a rangefinder, and are zone focused only. This causes me to, as often as I can, stop down to ensure proper focus. I feel this has mead me to work *much more* than I had in the past on composition, particularly when shooting street style photography (midterm project for my photo class). I think too many people rely on shallow aperture as a crutch to fix framing problems when they could just reframe.
Last couple of weeks I've learned a LOT from your videos, Jamie! Continue making such a great videos, pleasant for an eye and informative! Stay safe and healthy!
Your content is truly superb on its own but then multiplied by next level editing and motion graphics. Would you ever do a BTS on your motion graphics workflow!?
Fantastic as usual Jamie. Fun personal fact about Sternfeld -- the group of maids walking together through a neighborhood in "American Prospects" was shot on the street I grew up on at the time I lived there. Imagine my surprise buying the book years later and landing on that page.
This is a great commentary on a photographer that I had never even heard of. Following the trail to his website I see that he has been prolific. Thanks for the introduction
Two things that spring to mind from watching this: - I need to look at Joel Sternfeld's work as those portraits stand out markedly against the current haze of average street photography - I had forgotten how many people rollerbladed in the 90s Another great video Jamie. I would love my photography to be valued like that in 20 or 30 years from now.
To be honest I had the same reaction as Jamie the first time I saw the photos at the start of the video that I wasn't too impressed but when they're analyzed and broken down I get a greater appreciation for them. Thanks Jamie, another great video.
8:55 "Deliberate and meticulously crafted color palettes..." - Where is your proof for such statements Jamie? Where did the photographer say that he did/does such a thing? Can you reference to any proof at all?
@@maclo97 Usually delusion... When aksed for reference and proof Jamie always seems to be quiet, can't shake the bubble he is in. When trying to educate, show your references.
Fact is the palettes _are_ superb, so unlikely to be chance. Here's a quote from Lee Trevino when someone asked if golf was just a game of luck : " _Maybe it's luck, but I find the more I practise the luckier I get._ ". But I believe some portraits here are very posed, not random shots - can't be with a 8x10 camera. Some could be models and told what to wear - eg 7:08?
Question about photography in general: at the beginning you mention that "it wasn't until later that I took time". Do you think it was the fact that you took time to look at his images again or maybe the fact that you had more experience and could appreciate these images properly? Asking cause I'm finding myself these days loving photographers that I thought were a bit "underwhelming" few years back, but I wasn't able to appreciate their photography at the time. What is your experience in the matter? Do you think that some photographers do such a good job of capturing the everyday life that many people just can't appreciate the amount of work and experience that goes into their images?
Yea, I agree. This kind of thinking is why crappy overpriced fine art exists. Norman Rockwell did an infinitely better job at creating emotion because he could control the picture. In comparison these photographs really don't tell a story
Thank you very much for making us discover great artists, thank you for all the tips on your chanel, great to feel inspired while begining photography.
can we get more videos like this where you review the works of famous photographers? I would love you to analyze the works of japanese photographers the likes of Daido Moriyama and Tatsuo Suzuki (my all-time favorite) 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
6:45 I believe the technical term for this is "liminal space photography". A liminal space is a location that is intermediary, we don't make memories there, it's just merely a place between point A and B. Liminal space photography is usually done without a subject, just the location, and it's intended to feel desolate. Sternfeld's photo is an example of a portrait done _in_ a liminal space.
Just as you, I found it underwhelming. Unfortunately, I never saw the brilliance you did. Most of the photos are "just pictures". Not much special. If you strive to take mediocre photos the book would be a great template.
to be honest, I'm tired of watching portrait videos where the subjects pose like models. the internet is already over saturated with these types of portraits that they're becoming obsolete. I like portraits that are not staged, I like portraits where you see the natural facial reaction of the subjects. Wished we have another bruce gilden in this era where people get offended easily.
I love your vlog, presentation and story telling much more then the Sternfeld's work. My favorite street photographers are Gary Winogrand and Jeff Mermelstein (Sidewalk book)
Exactly! Did he ask the Business man for a picture? If no, how the hell did he manage to shove a 8x10 in his face without getting his ass kicked? I need answers!!!
Jamie your videos are top tier and a great source of knowledge and inspiration. Thank you for taking the time out to guide us on our journey of street photo exploration. I just set up a channel shooting street around Tokyo, if you ever get a chance or feel inclined to take a look I would love to hear your critique
Great video. I was not aware of Joel Sternfeld yet. Thanks for making me aware and great presentation of his photos. Need to look more into his photography.
I love Sternfeld's work. Tip to all students: check your university libraries for photo-books. Last fall I brought Stranger Passing and American Prospect home and spent a few weeks with them.
I really enjoyed being taken through those shots, and having those details pointed out, thank you.
i love how there are surprises in each one of those shots

Jamie Windsor the representation of photography. Like the DoP’s work . another video instead about analog photography
Is that the theranos ceo in the first photo?

So many things to learn.... for an 11 min video
I always did that, opened it up as much as the daylight would allow me. Just because you have a sports car you dont have to drive fast
Fjäll I personally close it down as much as the light allows me.
I don't know how I missed this Jamie - I stunning video...
Finally a channel that actually teaches concepts and not just flexing the gear in their peak design backpack.
Interesting, there is definitely a difference, more empathy than some one like Martin Parr.

Where did he find the courage to ask them for taking a picture?
Exactly! Did he ask the Business man for a picture? If no, how the hell did he manage to shove a 8x10 in his face without getting his ass kicked?
I need answers!!!
Yeah ahah, also it could be awkward for them to wait several minutes while he sets up the photo lol
I was missing your informative, brilliantly produced and worded videos. Thanks for making yet another great video. 🙏
Fantastic piece, really inspiring!
Jamie your videos are top tier and a great source of knowledge and inspiration. Thank you for taking the time out to guide us on our journey of street photo exploration. I just set up a channel shooting street around Tokyo, if you ever get a chance or feel inclined to take a look I would love to hear your critique
You're as perfect as Joel Sternfeld when it comes to making a video
Great video. I was not aware of Joel Sternfeld yet. Thanks for making me aware and great presentation of his photos. Need to look more into his photography.
I love Sternfeld's work. Tip to all students: check your university libraries for photo-books. Last fall I brought Stranger Passing and American Prospect home and spent a few weeks with them.
