Anders Petersen - The camera doesn't matter.

THIS VIDEO: Photographer is Swedish, 79 years old, he’s published more than 40 books, and he’s been described as one of the most important European photographers living today. Almost all of his photographs feel like personal diaries of his experiences with people and places - these encounters usually happen on the outskirts of towns or under cover of darkness. He photographs from a place of loneliness, and longing - a desire to find connection. He uses this emotion of longing in order to deepen his interactions … to inspire curiosity and to transform his photographic experience into something that is continually surprising to him as well as to the viewer. He has a genuine interest in people and that comes through in his approach to photography and how he positions himself within the world. By discovering the humanity in others he discovers the same in himself.

We need more channels like yours, that are about art and human beings, not gear.❤

[@PhotoConversations]

I appreciate that Dirk. Feel free to spread the message.

[@garonkiesel1646]

Wonderful video! One of my favorite photographers.

Very interesting video RS. Canada

[@PhotoConversations]

Thanks Richard

[@channamasala]

Educational, enriching, excellent. I love learning about photography and photographers from someone who knows what they are talking about. Fine work. Thank you.

[@PhotoConversations]

Much appreciated.

[@MaximeFournier-ex5vz]

Really great and informative video, thank you!! It helped getting even more passionate about this photographer

[@vmno6300]

I learn so much with your videos. Keep them coming please. G. Halpern perhaps?

[@paullesliehutson5818]

I’m enjoying and learning a lot from your channel. Thank You.

[@PhotoConversations]

Hi Paul Thanks a lot.

[@danielrao3120]

So very interesting, as always. And challening, to boot! Thank you.

[@richardrizzo_photography]

Great video, thank you Graeme.

[@davidhunt8532]

Graeme continues my photographic education.

Yup, You will be tested soon.

[@nocommentnoname1111]

A lot of soul in these images.

[@videokreatorji]

Respect!

[@johnbarrow3477]

Thanks for another great video. Definitely worth repeat viewing. And looking forward to the Daido Moriyama

[@PhotoConversations]

Hi John Thanks

[@michaels7889]

I'm a rather cerebral photographer, probably also in other ways and I envy people who can have this kind of contact, even though their subject matter is outside my experience. They make me feel I have never really lived! You present these so well that despite that, I am able to gain an understanding of your subjects' impetus. I look forward to the one upcoming.

[@PhotoConversations]

We all cobble together a life - stick to what you gives you the most inspiration.

[@pamelasmith8652]

Fantastic video! Gritty, Truth, Life.

[@jvermillion1052]

Great! Moriyama is one of my favorites and I love the Void Toyko kind of Japanese photogrphers.

[@bernardkealey6449]

It’s telling that he travelled the world seeking out the disadvantaged but for fifty years had foregone that opportunity “at home”. “Seeking innocence” sounds as authentic as Sugimoto saying “a good person can’t be an artist”. I’m not criticising his work.

[@hoagyguitarmichael]

Thanks for introducing me to Petersen. I too love the Japanese style and can't wait for next weeks vid.

[@bjarneerick123]

Once again an excellent video. Thank you for your effort pointing to very interesting photographers, each one with an urge to let silent photos do the talking.

[@bowenisland100]

Yet again! Thanks for that.

[@thomaseriksson6256]

Thank you a great video again. He should use bigger format because he have a tendency to blow up the picture so the grains are visible on his exhibitions but then it would cramp his style

[@PhotoConversations]

Yes, I think he likes to move fast and not come across as a 'proper' photographer.

[@straydog6166]

Excellent, can't wait for the Daido one next :0)

[@vladepast4936]

great video!

[@edthesecond]

Look up the work of both William Gedney and Jim Marshall-the 'godfather' of music photography. It might be fun to compare the manner in which they approached Haight Ashbury and the hippie scene.

[@PhotoConversations]

Thanks, I've added that to my 'to do' file.
