Black and White Photography - "George Digalakis" | Featured Artist

[@antdenzic7977]

What a great channel!!! I don't get inspired by new cameras or photography gear. It's channels like this that makes me want to go out & take photos. I'm so glad that you came up on my feed, I subscribed straight away & will be binge watching you videos & then will go out & take some photos. I'd go now but it's 3 in the morning. I'm tempted though 📷

[@blackandwhiteprofusion]

Thank you so much for your kind words Ant! Happy to hear that my channel inspires you to get out and take photos. Your support means a lot, and I hope you enjoy binge-watching the videos. I love your enthusiasm-even at 3am! BWP.🔲

[@antdenzic7977]

@@blackandwhiteprofusion No worries, but it's actually YOU that deserves the thanks. For making these videos, introducing me to photographers I haven't heard of before. Keep up the good work & I hope your sub count 10x 👍

[@blackandwhiteprofusion]

Thanks so much for your support! I'll keep working hard to bring you more inspiring content-and here's to both of us hoping the channel grows 10x Ant! BWP.🔲

The almost magical simplicity of these images nearly made me cry. In 25 minutes you opened a door into another world for me.

[@gekkehenkie297]

Beautifull photo’s. One suggestion is to cut your presentation in 5 parts of 5 minutes. 25 minutes is very long and I believe that lot of people stop looking at your beautifull photo’s. The arc of attention is about 5 minutes. Lot of succes

[@blackandwhiteprofusion]

Thanks for your comment and feedback Bart its highly appreciated. I have started doing a series of shorter videos for Photographers with wide portfolios and hopefully help with our attention spans. Initially I got feedback that the photographs where not being showcased for long enough so I am trying to strike the perfect balance that works. Best BWP.🔲

Excellent montage of some brilliant photographs … thanks! This work has inspired me to continue my own exploration of LE B&W photography. Useful to note that the artist has some great resources on his website devoted to this type of photography. 📷🙂 PS: I’d love to know how photographs with long exposure backgrounds can also include people in motion or birds that are in sharp focus!

@grenvillemelonseedskiff496 May I begin saying I love your username! I second your comment regarding the presentation and music of this video and the channel as a whole. On your comment I had a look at his website and it is most useful and valuable to take time and browse through it. 👌🏼

[@mikes4408]

So very cool! I l shoot both B&W and color but hold a special place in my heart for B&W. Maybe a Pentax monochrome some day for me? @wb2pics 😎

Thanks for your comment Mike! I hope a Pentax K-3 becomes a reality in your near future too! Best BWP.🔲

@mikes4408 - a Pentax is on top of my wish list 🔥

[@Jack_Schularick]

Very interesting although some of the pictures are obviously inspired by Kenna and some are a bit boring. I guess minimalism can get too minimal. But overall - a very accomplished artist Digalakis.

These are beautiful. But they are Not photographs. They are digital images. They start as digital images produced by exposing a silicon chip to light, put that into a computer where software is used to manipulate the image(s) by masking, integration, clipping, and on and on. In the end you have an image. A striking image perhaps. An award winning image even. But they are not photographs. Photographs are produced by exposing sensitized silver grains suspended in a gelatin, inside a camera. The resulting negative is then projected onto sensitized silver grains suspended in a gelatin coated onto a paper base producing the positive Photograph. No digital electronic manipulation of reality is involved.

[@blackandwhiteprofusion]

Thanks for your opinion and comments - it’s appreciated Denny. BWP.🔲

[@ggstylz]

@dennyoconnor8680 Photography comes from two Greek words. Photo (light) and Graph (draw) which translates to drawing with light. Whether a photographer records an image using analog or digital mediums is insignificant. “Manipulation” of photographs has always existed. Film development using different lengths of time, dodging and burning, intentionally developing film with the wrong chemicals (like in cross processing) adding sepia toning or using paint for retouching are all examples of this. Don’t limit your creativity by being precious about how photographs are created.

[@ethanjaimes6252]

@dennyoconnor8680 In my humble opinion the essence of photography is indeed about "drawing with light," and the medium-whether analog or digital-shouldn't restrict your creative expression. Historically, photographers have always manipulated their images to achieve their artistic vision. Techniques like dodging and burning, cross processing, sepia toning, and even hand-painting on prints have been integral to the craft. Embracing these methods, both old and new, can open up a world of possibilities. So, let your creativity run wild and don't be constrained by the tools you use!

Videos like these are some sort of humbug. Black and white is also a way of art. More than any color is. There hundreds of cameras that make really great bnw photographs. It doesn't need a (huuuuh) Leica for that. And when you can't afford a Leica, then it needs to be a fuji or Sony. To view such videos before buying..? Surely not...

Each to their own opinion i guess - I can see why you say that however he has mastered and stuck with his own photography style and does what he does in my opinion immacuately. As for the Lightroom editing amount - that is in the eye of the beholder too perhaps and maybe also part of his “style” … I am a fan of more naturally edited shot however his work is spectacular… 👌🏼
