1
00:00:00,430 --> 00:00:03,570
one of the things that i think is really
good to touch on something that we spoke
2
00:00:03,570 --> 00:00:07,519
about is when you're in in the field in
your you got your words and your doing
3
00:00:07,519 --> 00:00:10,780
these things that there could be there
can be this kind of pressure to get the
4
00:00:10,780 --> 00:00:16,430
exact image in camera but part of the
process to talking about it's not it's
5
00:00:16,430 --> 00:00:20,550
not so pure that you can only get it in
camera right there are things that
6
00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:24,660
sometimes you come back and you have an
image that works but there's just a few
7
00:00:24,660 --> 00:00:27,460
little things that you wish for
different right you can apply to editing
8
00:00:27,460 --> 00:00:31,279
to absolutely and I think this goes back
to what we talked about earlier
9
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:34,970
depending on the type of photography are
you that makes the difference no
10
00:00:34,970 --> 00:00:38,630
documentary photographer is not going to
go in and remove objects and things for
11
00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:43,950
the frame so that becomes a part of
their process is a fine art photographer
12
00:00:43,950 --> 00:00:48,969
I absolutely think about the story in
the lobby of the property and things
13
00:00:48,969 --> 00:00:54,510
like that and that's one reason this
vocabulary become so important is
14
00:00:54,510 --> 00:00:58,210
because when I come back to edit I don't
like to spend a lot of time in front of
15
00:00:58,210 --> 00:01:03,750
the computer so I wanna know like what
do I want the editing to be like before
16
00:01:03,750 --> 00:01:06,570
I get started so I can going to think
all I want this person had this
17
00:01:06,570 --> 00:01:10,380
experience when looking at the
photograph forward so if I take like
18
00:01:10,380 --> 00:01:15,530
this photograph for example I took this
one and I saw this in black and white so
19
00:01:15,530 --> 00:01:18,080
as a color and black-and-white
photographer people always want to know
20
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,600
how I do that I see certain things in
black and white it doesn't have to do
21
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,729
with obnoxious color supersaturation its
structure formed a melody so for this it
22
00:01:26,729 --> 00:01:30,110
was this great swirling pattern in this
became very graphic photograph coming
23
00:01:30,110 --> 00:01:34,369
and I looked up to my black and white
design either be this beautiful little
24
00:01:34,369 --> 00:01:39,560
subtle tones that came in there so in
the edited decision in the field I wrote
25
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:44,159
down palm trees blackandwhite so when I
came back to the computer I have to sit
26
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:46,729
there and think about it it was just
knew that was going to black-and-white
27
00:01:46,729 --> 00:01:49,540
laser processing decision
28
00:01:49,540 --> 00:01:52,610
a lot of the times of when I see stuff
like that would have those are going to
29
00:01:52,610 --> 00:01:57,250
the camera and its charitable go away so
that I can just click because I wanna be
30
00:01:57,250 --> 00:02:00,790
a better see what it is and I'm doing it
so that's that's cool
31
00:02:00,790 --> 00:02:06,340
home this one is actually I brought a
couple of Prince there's a black and
32
00:02:06,340 --> 00:02:11,620
white version as well because I shot
this and the girl here with the dog is
33
00:02:11,620 --> 00:02:15,560
what caught my attention so as I set up
the experience I was like that's what I
34
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,500
want to photograph to be people start
walking and then and there is this
35
00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:22,200
moment so this is one of those
photographs and editing where I started
36
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,140
to see something I had seen before so so
focused on her she told her head a
37
00:02:26,140 --> 00:02:29,440
little bit to separate her from the dog
because something happened on the street
38
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,070
while a sudden I got her to look down
the street hurtling down street he's
39
00:02:33,070 --> 00:02:36,420
kinda looking down and also this
movement got to push the photograph this
40
00:02:36,420 --> 00:02:40,600
way but the blur pushes the photograph
this way I didn't see that till I was in
41
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,280
the computer I did see this in black and
white
42
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,489
so it wasn't like and when I saw his
older kind of greedy format which you
43
00:02:47,489 --> 00:02:52,310
see in the black and white image however
I also printed it and platinum little
44
00:02:52,310 --> 00:02:55,650
platinum print and one of the other
decisions it's kind of in that process
45
00:02:55,650 --> 00:02:58,820
as I like to think about how I want the
beer viewer to experience their
46
00:02:58,820 --> 00:03:04,950
photographs to different sizes are much
more intimate photographs I require you
47
00:03:04,950 --> 00:03:08,560
to physically step closer to this image
than this one cuz you and distances
48
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:14,269
twice the diagonal average so you get a
much more intimate close to get all the
49
00:03:14,269 --> 00:03:18,760
details out of this one you have to get
really close for the reasons why we like
50
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:24,750
forestry big but I also think about that
with my intention this period is how
51
00:03:24,750 --> 00:03:28,750
close and intimate I want you to be my
photographs it's also one of the reasons
52
00:03:28,750 --> 00:03:30,739
I like take people in my care
53
00:03:30,739 --> 00:03:36,040
touch and hold my photographs there are
the object so all of that editing
54
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,610
decision is also about vocabulary how
intimate do I want you to feel with the
55
00:03:41,610 --> 00:03:46,630
photograph is it about structure form in
black and white and those kind of
56
00:03:46,630 --> 00:03:51,360
Capone's what are those elements that
ultimately also what's great about that
57
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,800
processes
58
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,340
we talk about 10 easy steps but
sometimes I get to a point where I'm
59
00:03:56,340 --> 00:03:58,970
like oh my gosh I actually don't know
how to fix the computer I don't know how
60
00:03:58,970 --> 00:04:03,690
to process that but now I know very
specific thing I need to go find so now
61
00:04:03,690 --> 00:04:12,920
it's like how do i enhance XYZ training
site that you can fit that I can fix the
62
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,530
money that I don't have to go watch 50
steps I'm gonna get just less than three
63
00:04:17,530 --> 00:04:21,360
of that one step as I walked Corey do it
and I can actually going that happens so
64
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:27,160
it's a great win that any process but
the other report about it too is she
65
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:34,450
2000 photographs come back in and
process I can really start to sequence
66
00:04:34,450 --> 00:04:38,160
pretty fast but i wanna work out what
I'm not gonna work on because the
67
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,300
photographs don't have that feeling
don't have that essence that's how I
68
00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:44,350
know how to sort them so that editing
process the exact same thing is
69
00:04:44,350 --> 00:04:48,560
happening the last thing that that does
it also identifies it as a fine art
70
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,920
photographer artist it was after all the
time for jury chosen galleries and
71
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,470
things like that so I'm required to have
a lot of words in the editing process it
72
00:04:55,470 --> 00:04:59,440
just is a continuing the continuation of
the exact same process and helps you
73
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,260
build a body of work that makes sense
right
74
00:05:02,260 --> 00:05:06,680
absolutely the other pieces editing user
leads to multiple images fitting
75
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,260
together so I go back to you know we had
this the very beginning we take these
76
00:05:10,260 --> 00:05:15,160
two images start to become a part of a
landscape series this image has a set of
77
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:20,380
words this image has a set of words
these two meters together have some
78
00:05:20,380 --> 00:05:23,300
overlap but they also have new words and
develop because as a body of work
79
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:27,840
develops it gets a new simple jewellery
and so because all of that affects
80
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:32,260
sequencing if you look at the
photographs this way makes a difference
81
00:05:32,260 --> 00:05:39,560
in the story I get to tell so and that
editing a great repetition of the exact
82
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,650
same thing over and over again look at
it what were you there so I'm expected
83
00:05:44,650 --> 00:05:48,310
to just start with those two words of
that value out and then from there just
84
00:05:48,310 --> 00:05:54,050
kinda sad and shift in an increase in to
take some pressure off there's a
85
00:05:54,050 --> 00:05:56,760
significant chance on me or two words
when you go
86
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:03,480
ok I mean where we start where we start
where we end up aren't always the same
87
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,000
in the cool part is if you know that
going in there is no issue with it if it
88
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,580
changes you dislike hey I had no more
now than I did when I started with the
89
00:06:11,580 --> 00:06:17,830
word or moving from you know you can
have a very honest conversation about
90
00:06:17,830 --> 00:06:20,740
your work ok good
