he doesn't do just celebrities but anyway uh what we're going to just kind of reconfigure here so I can actually open this up and get a better view here and we're going to check out uh the Dan wers uh periodical photographs book uh one of the things about Dan is he shoots uh mainly um with large format film and by large format I mean 8 by10 cameras at least 4x5 um it's really rare to see people doing magazine Publications so you see this Frame around a lot of the images which is actually real that's what it looks like because the way the negative holder holds the film that's probably the least exciting thing about Dan's works so I'm going to get into a little bit so we got stuff in here um anyway Dan is extremely good as you can see um he shoots a lot of celebrities his work is absolutely stunning and he really has I mean this has almost like a vermier quality to it but it doesn't look like a verir painting he's definitely put his own stamp on it and you know it's definitely contemporary very uh modern um you know there's there's definitely a fashion influence with a lot of this stuff um you know guys like Richard avidon things like that I'm not real sure who Dan's influences are um this is kind of interesting some roller derby girls dressed as kiss uh Leonardo DiCaprio this is kind of a famous shot uh Dan shoots for there's some Hollywood magazines as well as some Texas Publications uh New York Times magazine things like that um again I think this one Leonardo is exceptionally beautiful um has a really nice film look to it um and in addition to that it's just the lighting is so subtle um it's a fairly dark photo um which probably speaks something of what he was trying to go through or go for in terms of um you know the personality of the subject uh Neil Young which looks like a mug shot uh anyway as you can see Dan's work is just absolutely beautiful um let me go through here and find some other stuff this is Jeff Coons who's a uh who's a contemporary artist uh Debbie Harry is in here and not everybody in here's celebrities there's a series he did on uh let's see a lot of celebrities Heath Ledger list goes on um there was one he did on um army personnel which is really interesting too I love this woman the way her face looks and I mean she's like a sge drill sergeant right off the television or something um some still life stuff that were done in here so you I imagine that a lot of these were put together as part of a magazine article the Daly Lama and I love the way that they're it's not sloppy but but the way that you know he uses the entire negative there's no cropping out of serial numbers on the film things like that um President Obama anyway so as you can see Dan is an absolutely wonderful photographer this is interesting too Frank Gary who's an architect who did uh um I can't remember which building this is um but you know obviously he did the experienced music project in Seattle uh the um the uh the Guggenheim Museum in uh in Spain things like that anyway his his style is very much like this and what's weird is he has kind of this silver uh look to the lighting on this it's very harsh the metallic background the silver hair things like that uh so you know it's an interesting if you if you think back um oh many episodes ago and I don't know which number it is off hand but we talked a little bit um about Arnold Newman and his style of doing uh these environmental portraits where the the subject was always shot in the environment so you could tell you know something about their personality their occupation something just by looking at the portrait uh this is a completely different approach and what's cool doing magazine spreads is that uh you know Dan is able to kind of stretch this out and kind of have a and b subjects as far as you know the these two photos would go together they match as well as the one on the front here so anyway um I you know go by the book it's absolutely fantastic has kind of these goofy still lives of things that he owns like this photo booth that are that are kind of fun but uh anyway basically that's Dan wyers so anyway that's Dan wyers excellent book I highly recommend it um definitely worth studying uh because I think he crosses the bridge between Commercial Art and fine art really successfully um I will put a link to Amazon in the show notes so if you visit the website at uh aop.com uh you can check it out there so again as you can see Dan's work is just absolutely beautiful um
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enjoin us now on Flickr at flickr.com groups artof photography hey everybody Welcome Back To The Art of Photography once again my name is Ted Forbes and we're going to try something a little different today um lately I've been kind of trying to think of ways that we can try and get episodes out a little more often and uh some theme stuff that I'm thinking about doing so to today we're going to start some of that but as we enter into The Fall season i' I'd really like a way to you know kind of excite you as a viewer as a photographer and get you energized and hopefully get stuff out a little more often and so one of the things I want to try and do is every once in a while is do kind of a book review episode and uh so this will be the Photography book review um made in Voyage here if you will and for those of you who know me personally um you probably know that I am a ginormous book junkie um if there's one Vice that probably will lead to uh my downfall it is the uh complete addiction I have to photography books specifically um I'm constantly checking out the used bookstore I'm constantly seeing what's coming out I'm constantly looking on Amazon all those wonderful things and uh anyway so I have a masked a fairly large book collection and I thought you know this would be something that I could share with you to try and hopefully inspire you um and I think this is important for a number of reasons but mainly um you know we live in this digital culture where most of us as photographers or you know our our experience with photographs happens on screen uh we have digital cameras it goes right into a computer so you're dealing with a computer screen most of the time there's nothing wrong with this um but it's unfortunate because it's not the same it doesn't have that same intrinsic quality is actually going to an art gallery and seeing stuff on the wall or even seeing it well printed in a book um the other cool thing about books is books believe it or not with art books particularly photography books are reasonably good investment um if you uh purchase wisely um they're the kind of books that the price needs to be right on because they're how-to books they're instructional books things like that and those don't hold their value however artist monographs do and uh particularly once they go out of print and if you look at kind of how the publishing industry has kind of been looking over the last couple years uh you know they could become more rare and rare as time goes I don't promise that but um my whole point being is that usually especially once a book is out of print if you need to sell them for whatever reason usually you can at least get what you paid for it out of it if not more um the other interesting thing is is if there's a book you're interested in once they do go out of print they become a lot more rare and they're more difficult to find so hopefully I don't have a huge rare book collection but hopefully we can kind of you know go through some of the things that I do have and and mainly what I'm trying to do is is show you some printed work that might inspire you if you like it go buy the book um and uh you know maybe introduce you to some photographers that you're not familiar with uh so anyway so today we're going to kick it off um the first episode of our book review thing here is I'm going to talk about Dan Winters uh Dan Winters is a wonderful photographer he does a lot of magazine and publication work and he's based in Austin Texas and I think he keeps a place in Los Angeles too um Dan is particularly interesting he's not he's he's a younger guy he's probably late 40s uh he is exceptionally talented um and his style is interesting because you know kind of in mag the world of magazine Publications you kind of have this Paparazzi kind of style going and Dan's not about that Dan shoots film he shoots 8 by10 and he really has kind of this Old Masters kind of um um you know influence to his work as you can see he does do a lot of celebrities uh but he doesn't do just celebrities but anyway uh what we're going to just kind of reconfigure here so I can actually open this up and get a better view here and we're going to check out uh the Dan wers uh periodical photographs book uh one of the things about Dan is he shoots uh mainly um with large format film and by large format I mean 8 by10 cameras at least 4x5 um it's really rare to see people doing magazine Publications so you see this Frame around a lot of the images which is actually real that's what it looks like because the way the negative holder holds the film that's probably the least exciting thing about Dan's works so I'm going to get into a little bit so we got stuff in here um anyway Dan is extremely good as you can see um he shoots a lot of celebrities his work is absolutely stunning and he really has I mean this has almost like a vermier quality to it but it doesn't look like a verir painting he's definitely put his own stamp on it and you know it's definitely contemporary very uh modern um you know there's there's definitely a fashion influence with a lot of this stuff um you know guys like Richard avidon things like that I'm not real sure who Dan's influences are um this is kind of interesting some roller derby girls dressed as kiss uh Leonardo DiCaprio this is kind of a famous shot uh Dan shoots for there's some Hollywood magazines as well as some Texas Publications uh New York Times magazine things like that um again I think this one Leonardo is exceptionally beautiful um has a really nice film look to it um and in addition to that it's just the lighting is so subtle um it's a fairly dark photo um which probably speaks something of what he was trying to go through or go for in terms of um you know the personality of the subject uh Neil Young which looks like a mug shot uh anyway as you can see Dan's work is just absolutely beautiful um let me go through here and find some other stuff this is Jeff Coons who's a uh who's a contemporary artist uh Debbie Harry is in here and not everybody in here's celebrities there's a series he did on uh let's see a lot of celebrities Heath Ledger list goes on um there was one he did on um army personnel which is really interesting too I love this woman the way her face looks and I mean she's like a sge drill sergeant right off the television or something um some still life stuff that were done in here so you I imagine that a lot of these were put together as part of a magazine article the Daly Lama and I love the way that they're it's not sloppy but but the way that you know he uses the entire negative there's no cropping out of serial numbers on the film things like that um President Obama anyway so as you can see Dan is an absolutely wonderful photographer this is interesting too Frank Gary who's an architect who did uh um I can't remember which building this is um but you know obviously he did the experienced music project in Seattle uh the um the uh the Guggenheim Museum in uh in Spain things like that anyway his his style is very much like this and what's weird is he has kind of this silver uh look to the lighting on this it's very harsh the metallic background the silver hair things like that uh so you know it's an interesting if you if you think back um oh many episodes ago and I don't know which number it is off hand but we talked a little bit um about Arnold Newman and his style of doing uh these environmental portraits where the the subject was always shot in the environment so you could tell you know something about their personality their occupation something just by looking at the portrait uh this is a completely different approach and what's cool doing magazine spreads is that uh you know Dan is able to kind of stretch this out and kind of have a and b subjects as far as you know the these two photos would go together they match as well as the one on the front here so anyway um I you know go by the book it's absolutely fantastic has kind of these goofy still lives of things that he owns like this photo booth that are that are kind of fun but uh anyway basically that's Dan wyers so anyway that's Dan wyers excellent book I highly recommend it um definitely worth studying uh because I think he crosses the bridge between Commercial Art and fine art really successfully um I will put a link to Amazon in the show notes so if you visit the website at uh aop.com uh you can check it out there so anyway um hope you found this useful and once again
