**A Journey Through Photography and Workshops**

As I reflect on my recent experience with a workshop, I think it gave me a lot of new perspective and ideas about my photographic work. Going over my photographs and compiling them into a Zen in the workshop was incredibly insightful. I really appreciate the feedback from others attending the workshop, including Dean's contribution which came out really nicely done. The pacing and flow of the workshop were also discussed at length, particularly in terms of how to keep the reader engaged with the content.

**Dean's Zen Photography**

I wanted to take a moment to talk about Dean's photography work, specifically his use of color infrared. His bold colors are really interesting to look at, and I appreciate how he incorporates a wide range of subjects into his work, from scenes that evoke a wintry cold feel to warm and vibrant images that showcase the beauty of New York City. One of the things that struck me about Dean's work is its ability to balance contrast and color in a way that creates visual interest. His photographs are not only visually striking but also engaging and thought-provoking.

**Guided by Locals: A Street Style Guide to New York**

Next up, I'd like to introduce you to jeppi Santa Maria's new book, "New York Style", a guide to the city's street style scene. This is a unique perspective on the art of street photography, and I think it's wonderful that jeppi has taken the time to document the city's diverse neighborhoods and cultures. The book includes restaurant recommendations, photography venues, clubs, restaurants, and places to go - all from the perspective of locals who know the city best.

**A Unique Approach**

One of the things that sets "New York Style" apart is its unique approach to street photography. Instead of just showcasing individual images, jeppi has woven together a comprehensive guide that covers everything from where to eat and drink to how to capture the perfect shot. This approach not only provides insight into the city's vibrant cultural scene but also offers practical advice for photographers looking to improve their skills.

**The Power of Community**

I'd like to take a moment to talk about the power of community in the photography world. As someone who has been involved in various workshops and collaborations, I've seen firsthand how sharing knowledge and expertise with others can lead to new ideas and insights. The workshop that jeppi participated in was a great example of this, where local photographers came together to share their experiences and perspectives.

**Conclusion**

Overall, I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with these talented individuals and see the results they've produced. Dean's Zen photography is truly inspiring, and "New York Style" is a must-have guide for anyone looking to explore the city's street style scene. As always, I want to thank everyone who sent in their work for this show - it's been an absolute pleasure to share their projects with you. Remember to support your colleagues and check out jeppi's book, available now!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis video is brought to you by Squarespace welcome back everyone we are going to look at some fewer work that was sent in today I want to get right to it because I have in my hands one of the coolest things that I have seen in a long time this is a book that is put together by a gentleman named Chris hea it was a collaboration between he and Mark Hower I'll get to that in a second this is called high-rises Art Deco 100 spectacular skyscrapers from the Roaring 20s to the Great Depression now there's no note in here Chris has emailed back and forth with me a few times and he's told me about the project this is amazing and Chris I'm sorry this took me a few months to get to give you a little context I'm going to read you the introduction here which says America is where skyscrapers were born the tall office tower a machine that makes the land pay as the pionering architect Cass Gilbert aptly put it originated in Chicago and New York in the 1880s and spread to every large city in the United States within a few decades their steel frames were a major technological breakthrough that made these tall buildings possible but the gerter supported the walls were rooted in the past the first skyscrapers were cloaked in architectural motifs blending classical and Renaissance ornamentation style known as bozarts after the French school where most prominent American Architects were trained then in the 1920s something changed innovators began to break the old rules they experimented with new shapes colors materials and Designs meant to celebrate the Advent of a modern machine age it was a wildly optimistic moment one that was brought to a crashing halt by the Great Depression I'm sure you're already noticing this is a very interesting presentation these photographs are really cool and I want to read you a little bit about how they were put together in here rather than a single snapshot each high-rises image is a composite made up of a series of photos taken by a drone at each floor of the building usually at Sunrise or Sunset they are stitched together manually eliminating perspective and creating a flattened scan similar to an orthographic architectural elevation drawing a separate background image is taken at the same location and composited into the frame lighting and Shadow adjustments finish the visual with a subtle rendering like quality this probably won't surprise you that Chris has a background in architecture as well I think this book is absolutely outstanding this is an incredibly creative use of drone photography and it's something that I've not seen anyone do and I think this is really cool the second thing I love about this is this is a collaboration book Mark Hower is an expert on the subject and the graphic design on this book is outstanding and the way everything comes together and I want to make a note about this because this is really interesting to me because there's another project that I'm going to share with you in this video today where where the same approach is taken but you know I think for 90% of the photographers out there probably watching this myself included when we have the itch to make a book and we want to put together work to present we typically just think of doing it as a portfolio and you know I've done this we spend so much time with our work and it's really easy to want to compile that and organize it in such a way and there's nothing wrong with that but what I really love is when the extra mile is gone and the way that Chris and Mark collaborated on this book you've got text involved D you've got an incredible graphic design in here with all the images the the renderings you've got height comparisons you've got Maps you've got explanations of Art Deco elements this is so well put together and so well done and it gives such a depth to this that there's something in this for the reader and I think that a book like this if it had just been a portfolio book it wouldn't have had that magic and that depth to it the photos are great I'm not knocking them but it gives you a really complete package here and I think it's something to think about Chris you have done an outstanding job on this I also know that when you get into this level of detail with not only the graphic design but the text it becomes an enormous project to take care of the traveling alone to get these shots would have been a feat unto itself and I'm really impressed with the quality that you put into this and the way that it's come out you should be extremely proud of this and I also want to make a note here my home city is featured in here as well the amount of traveling to get these images is really impressive anyway I mean they're all over the United States but this is the Texas and Pacific rail terminal which is an amazing building and you don't see it from this angle I know this building extremely well it may be a mile north of here uh I go here all the time because it's also where the current rail is located uh there's two lines one that takes you to Dallas and another one that takes you to the airport and so I am no stranger to the TMP building uh beautifully done and it is a beautiful building and I'm really excited to see it in here and this is awesome I highly highly recommend you guys get this book um it's really entertaining from you know this historical and educational perspective but the Drone Photography in here is outstanding uh when I think of drone photography I do not think of high-res images like this and I know there's a little bit of stitching and some manipulation involved to get this look but it's really impressive it's detailed you you don't when you look at this you don't think drone uh in fact the first time I looked at I'm like how's he getting these uh they're consistent they're really sharp the quality is incredible anyway I'm going on and on about this because this really is one of the most this is one of the coolest books that I've seen maybe in Mail Time all the years I've done it I really really think it's that good Chris you did an outstanding job on here and I'll link up to this book if you want to get a copy in the show description below highly recommended thank you Chris I hope you're proud of this man this is Stellar all right so next up is this little Zen called semblance by Tom Haley and this is kind of special to me as well because Tom was a student in the Zen Workshop that we did earlier this year and I remember seeing this project we did small groups and we had a really interesting discussion about Tom's work and I think it's really cool so it's really special for me to share this with you because now I'm seeing it in its final printed form which is pretty awesome and I'm going to read you a little Tom's intro here he writes a need for change after photographing the natural landscape for a decade I needed a change in Direction I find that I make more satisfying art when I get outside of my comfort zone so I decided it was time to do just that traditionally I did not work with a lot of people in photography but I decided to push myself to start working with models and learn some new skills initially I started working with nudes and natural settings combined my landscape photography experience but when the weather turned bad I retreated indoors and I got further out of my comfort zone by bringing studio lights into the mix I began to utilize artificial light on the human body in the same way that I observed the sun falling on land and found a new passion in my photography this collection of images features the human body as a mirror for the raw beauty of nature in its purest form just as mountains rise and valleys slope the human form exhibits Contours and curves that evoke the natural landscape like the changing seasons the body also undergos Transformations from the smoothness of Youth to the weathering of age echoing the natural world photographs in this collection span the last 3 years of my creativity I hope you enjoy it Tom so Tom well done my friend I think this is outstanding uh when Tom was in my class and we were talking about this I was really blown away at the whole idea not only of the nude as landscape which was really cool and he really does treat it like Landscapes but the other thing that I love about this and i' I've told Tom about this before also is that I really love the way that a lot of these images kind of enter that zone of abstraction in that the first time you look at it like let's say you're seeing it on a wall across the room or you open up this scene that's a little bit abstract you you don't realize it's the human body straight away because the work is very cropped in and is so defined into line shape uh Shadow casting contrast I think this is absolutely outstanding work and Tom I've told you this in the workshop and the only thing I want to add to this is I just want to see you do more of it I think this is an idea that could easily translate into a portfolio book of work uh I think you could do it in a lot of different directions and uh man way to go this is outstanding and it's really cool to see it in its final printed form uh anyway so if you want to check it out I will link up Tom in the description below Tom thank you for sending it is quite awesome all right so we

this comes to us from Dean McIntyre this is also very special to me because Dean also took the Zen's workshop and uh I saw this in its pre-production phase and so again it's really cool to see this as a final form anyway Dean did an awesome job on this the design on here I remember making a comment um that it had a very mid-century vibe to it and Dean said it was very inspired in fact the whole thing uh by the film asteroid City for those of you who might have seen it's got some really wild color grading which brings me to the point that Dean does color infrared which uh man he does it really well and I want to share this with you he also included a note which reads hi Ted I wanted to thank you again for the great Zen Workshop I got a lot out of it including some things I had not anticipated I just think the act of going over my photographs and compiling them into a Zen in the workshop gave me a lot of New Perspective and ideas about my photographic work I really appreciate your feedback as well as the feedback from others attending the workshop so Dean this came out really nice and I remember when we were going through and discussing this and the pacing and how this would flow uh in terms of the Zen how it would look uh you know he has a really bold color feel to his work being color infrared and it was really interesting to talk about choices that could be made in terms of that and what kind of keeps the reader engaged I think he also includes a wide range of stuff in here that I really like uh some of these scenes that where you just kind of get blue and white are really pretty to me I mean it's it's kind of got a wintry cold feel to it and then they warm up with these bold uh crazy colors that he's got going on so anyway Dean this is really nicely done and uh check out Dean's work um you can find him on Instagram and you can probably also buy a copy of this uh if you would like I will put his contact information and all that wonderful stuff in the show description it is so cool when we do these classes and to see the first of all the wide range of work that comes in from students I mean it is everything from people who do to portraits to Fashion work to Landscapes to more art types of things to infrared photography um it really is a wide range and to be able to discuss that and see everybody's work in that context uh has really been special and when we do these things and so I'm really excited we'll have some more that we're going to do next year we're sold out for the fall uh but uh man this came out great I I think the cover is outstanding I love the whole Atomic City Vibe to this and uh you really did a nice job so Dane well done my friend all right so next up is New York style as Guided by locals this comes to us from jeppi Santa Maria jeppi also included a note which reads to Ted I hope this letter finds you well I wanted to share my new book with you called New York style I'm a street style photographer going for over a decade now and I wanted to share how I've turned the art of street photography into something a bit more commercial and making a product out of it I hope you enjoy jepe PS keep up the inspiring videos and all the great work that you do jeppi I think you did an amazing job with this and I've mentioned this many times on this channel one of the challenges that you've got with street photography is there's so much of it and there are a lot of people that do that and trying to find ways where it's new it's fresh it's got something that has a different appeal to it I think you've done this very wonderfully um it's a style guide to New York As Told by locals and so you've got restaurant recommendations photography venues uh clubs uh restaurants places to go things to do I have been to New York probably a hundred times in my career I have been there many times and I actually would be very interested in using this as just suggestions of places that I could go when I'm up there and I love the way that you've gotten locals to do it uh you have portraits in here you've got street photography this is just really cool it's very well done it's very different and this kind of comes full circle because the first book on the the high-rises that we were looking at as I mentioned that could have been a portfolio book and it would have been outstanding but you know Chris went the extra mile on that and put all this extra effort into making it something that was just more than a portfolio book it's hard to do and I'm sure that you realized this when you got into this project it it is a lot of work I think the payoff though is so much more in the end because like you could have an audience for this book you could even do different editions I know that a lot of things change in New York you could do an updated Edition you know by year or something like that I wouldn't do it every year that'd be a lot of work but uh you know what I mean well done this is excellent the design is very well executed on here and I think this is just I mean it's it's amazing I love the color reproduction in here too uh you got a really nice look to a lot of these images so anyway want to thank everybody who sent stuff in today remember as always to support your colleagues I will put links to everybody in the show description below if you have any questions comments
