This was one of the most fantastic, fun and fact filled videos on a photographer I have seen in a long long while. I thoroughly enjoyed it and your editing style. Have a great day!
Tavis, it's sad, really really sad, you made way too many assumptions to as why Garry does not have a straight horizon… He has said multiple time's that the main reason he does that is so that he can fit more into his frames… And not because he is ''nervous''… Stop spreading misinformation.
Back in the day, on many occasions, I observed Winogrand working. To the uninitiated he appeared to be suffering from Tourette's Syndrome. I considered photographing him photographing other people but rejected that as not being cricket. It was a great show just watching & very instructive & inspiring. He appeared to be a man obsessed, especially with women. I guess you need that passion to be good at anything.
I enjoyed this video. Always fun to see your take on photographers. I'd love to see you do one on Martine Franck.
As far as Winogrand or McCurry goes, well, that is hard to say. Winogrand has some really great, genuine, and sometimes humorous moments captured of people in their daily lives. And as you've shown the crooked horizons he has give a sense of spontaneity and a frenetic feel.
McCurry's photos seem to just entrance me. I don't know of it is his use of perspective lines that give his photos such a sense of depth, or his color theory, or use of (What appears to be) strong diagonals.
So, I enjoy both. A bit of a cop out answer but I can find plenty of images from either that I really love.
Also, as someone very new to the whole dynamic symmetry composition thing I have really enjoyed your channel. I keep researching into it further and further and taking in youtube content from you, Adam Marelli, James Cowman, and of course Mr. Barnstone. Basically whatever I can find, haha. I recently finished the Michel Jacobs book on dynamic symmetry and yes, I have your books on my need to read list too! Anyway, point is, thank you for the content! It has been interesting, entertaining, and educational.
Another great content Tavis. Hope you can cover more works from photographers. While i enjoy the dynamism of a painter's work, i find it too perfect for me. Kinda like "too much of a good thing is a bad thing". I much prefer a photographer's work because of it's spontaneity. The random imperfection in a photo which is perfect in it's own right. Something like that. Works from Garry Winogrand certainly don't hit all the ticks in the world of Dynamic Symmetry (the diagonals and such) in my opinion but i've come to realise that it isn't all about the lines. Other aspects in the arsenal of Dynamic Symmetry can be used interchangeably and you'd still have a well composed image. I used to think that it's all about hitting the diagonals and arabesque and everything but upon further research and understanding, i realised that i've been wrong this whole time.
Thank you so much for this great analysis. What I espacialy like is when you straighten a horizon to show the difference. Most pictures that you showed lose their power with a straightend horizon.
Loved this one. Thank you!

esta clase de videos son buenos por que presentas teorias en la practica y tambien hablas de otros fotografos y asi se aprende del pasado.
I enjoy the different perspectives.
Nice one. Thank's!

Interesting bud?
Great info on street photography. Garry winogrand is definitely inspiration. Found your channel through Barnstone. Keep it up.
Was this video shot on a boat?
Nice video, Tavis. Keep it up. ?
I simply enjoy hearing your analysis on all types of artists and their works.
