Great video on a great photographer.

[@TatianaHopper]

Many thanks!

[@terrylstarks]

Ms.Hopper, once again you have shown yourself to be an artist on the exact level or above the people you showcase. I have learned so much from your videos about photographers and people that I didn’t know were photographers. You really have a gift and I enjoy you sharing it with us!!!!

[@TatianaHopper]

Hello Terry! Thank you so much for your kind words really appreciate it and wow what a compliment, thank you! Let's keep these videos coming and the ball rolling! :)

[@stevenbegleiter5850]

@sbegleiter great! thank you for creating this

[@theundefinedphotographer]

Love his sense of humour. It's clear that his never-ending curiosity and appreciation of life kept him young at heart.

[@TatianaHopper]

Absolutely Carmen I think the fact that he was passionate about life kept him going in order to find more and more!

[@theoldcameraguy]

Love Erwitt. I’ve long admired his Pittsburg body of work - it was nice to see some of his color work here, too. Also cool to see the behind the scenes images from the Misfits - that whole production has many stories to tell.

[@TatianaHopper]

Thank you David! I love the Misfits and whilst researching it one day I found out Erwitt had been a photographer on set and I was blown away, so cool. And yes his time in Pittsburg was productive and I love his work there!

[@martinglb]

Thanks for this video. I saw his exhibition in Paris few months ago, it was really cool. I really like his work. RIP Elliott Erwitt

[@teocrawford]

Wonderful video T🙌🏼 And congrats on the sponsor!!🥺🤗

Thank you Teo, appreciate it! :)

[@evertking1]

Love your channel... It picks up where the channel "The Art of Photography" dropped the ball some years back. Thank you

[@TatianaHopper]

Thank you been told that so many times, I actually had no idea about that channel until people started telling me about it :) Cheers for watching!

[@MUSKLR]

Erwitt is one of my all time favorite photographers, a true living legend who connects us to the origins of modern photography. Fantastic video!

[@TatianaHopper]

Thank you for watching Mike, completely agree with you!

[@AstonishedonEarth]

I love your reflections On the urge to photograph

I need to thank youtube because once it introduced me to your channel Tatiana! a lot of food for thought or around the table talks

[@TatianaHopper]

Thank you so much for joining us Jonatas I appreciate it! And glad you enjoy the channel :)

[@alexcarrillo5510]

I agree, you done it again, when I was in City College in the mid 1970's in my Photo Editorial 93B that my teacher shown use a film strip of Erwitt as it was drawn to his work showing the one series of his Pregnant wife, and child leading to a small kitten. After class that I headed out to a bookstore, and found one book from the One time Publishing Company from the 1970's Petersen's that dealt in DIY, and Photography. So there was book from Elliot Erwitt, and I got it read it page to page, and seen the story of his wife, and then mentioning about in what happen to them that at that time I was engage, and she did not want me to continued with my photography, So I broke up with her, and I still continue with my art field. But in closing that in all those years since next year will be my 50th year in photography in which I have accomplished in what I have done in my years in what I have done from doing Fashion, and then working at a Camera store, and then traveling street photography that it can be a lonely life that I kinda felt like Erwitt when he was married in which I was not like the song saids "I have my Books, and my Poetry to Protect me".. Oh yes One morning he did made a surprise visit at where I work at the camera store in where we all had a chat, and that was in the mid 1990's.. Thank You....

[@TatianaHopper]

That's very touching Alex and I think there comes a time where we all sort of have choices to make and either sacrifice personal or professional and what comes with it, in his case I guess he choose what felt right. Thank you for watching!

[@dougmacmillan1712]

I'm so glad I discovered your videos! I've always been a big fan of Elliot Erwitt's work and you did a great job presenting it. I've been photographing with Leica's since 1968 and have owned my current M3 for 40 years. I have the Summicron trio of 35, 50 and 90mm. Nowadays I often use them on my Fuji X-E cameras.

[@johndavidlevy7]

Finally caught up with this one and you were right. Inspiring. Those opening words really hit hard and true. Thoroughly enjoyed the Sponsor character once again as well.

[@TatianaHopper]

Thank you John, they really do, after reading about his philosophy I do feel more connected to his work! :)

[@outtathyme5679]

My favorite photographer

[@TatianaHopper]

One of mine too!

[@tombrossard435]

Brilliant video, thanks for sharing your craft with the world!

[@TheNitebinder]

Another good documentary of a professional photojournalist Elliott Erwitt. Like Henri Cartier-Bresson and Patti Smith, he captured the decisive moment but with the look of a snapshot. But unlike those photographers photographing more with sense of whimsy or irony. Most ironic square space commercial.

[@TatianaHopper]

ahahah thank you and yes do agree with what you wrote about Erwitt!

[@joncaradies3155]

Really like this video as Erwitt is a Fav. for sure ! His style of photography is so right on . Not a big production but just always having a camera with you and shooting whatever amuses you . He seems to regard his camera not as a tool but as a friend . I like that ! ..... Cheers You ... :D

[@TatianaHopper]

Absolutely, his camera was definitely his companion, thank you for watching Jon! :)

Very well done. One can never get bored examining Erwitt's photographs.

[@TatianaHopper]

Oh absolutely, there's so much to talk about and to see!

[@michaelroumph6337]

Thank you for making this video about Elliot Erwitt. I remember seeing his famous photo of the “kitchen debate” when I was in middle school. Hadn’t known till now he took the photo. Glad to see his other work in the video.

[@TatianaHopper]

Thank you for watching Michael!

Another banger. Another banger by Tatiana Hopper. Btw It was so fun to try to locate where the Hungarian pictures were taken. Some of those I walk by every day during my commute to uni.

[@andgainingspeed]

At first I was wondering what band this Elliot Erwitt guy was with. 😅 Another nice essay on a photographer with stunning images. I watched right through the sponsor ad as the shill persona makes it interesting compared to the de rigueur ads we normally see on other channels.

[@TatianaHopper]

ahahaha that's so funny, yeah we do have a lot of different videos here on the channel, thank you for watching and appreciate your words! Glad you enjoyed the SS ad :)

Thank you so much Kevin, really appreciate it, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I did Elliott justice, he is definitely an icon!

[@anabivar6904]

Amazing video. I love Elliot and is work ( one of my first photography books was from him and also another that I recommend from Magnum- contact sheets). But, I must say that you presented us with some amazing facts about is work and himself that I wasn’t familiar with! Thank you!

What ist the importance of photographing. The moment!

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

wow - those Pittsburgh images are very powerful and a sad insight into the time. but my favourite image is the one at 9:30 from Krakow. I don't know why it's my favourite, it just speaks to me I guess :-)

[@TatianaHopper]

That's the thing about photography, sometimes it speaks to us and we don't really know why! So let's keep the love going, cheers for watching!

Appreciate the kindness!

[@Frantixj]

As always, great video! And a very nice study on Erwitt. I always thought that it's easier to make people feel sad or cry with photographs rather than make them actually laugh out loud. Erwitt is one of the great ones who knows how to create something that's remarkable - visual, still comedy. Absolute legend. ;)

[@TatianaHopper]

Thank you Nolan, appreciate your input and to be fair you do have a point as I think its way harder to make people laugh rather than feel sad with photography. Cheers for watching and may the force be with you ;)

Bravo - Great video of one of my all-time favourite photographers. I noticed that there was a recent film about Elliott Erwitt mentioned in your video; "Silence Sounds Good". I've done a number of internet searches to see if I could find either a streaming copy or a DVD/BluRay - but I've drawn a blank on all counts. Do you know of a source where the film can be sourced, please? Anyway, keep up the fantastic videos.

[@TatianaHopper]

Same I couldn't find much, I think the film from what I read was exhibited at a film festival but after that I couldn't find much apart from the small clips I've used (link in description). Thank you for watching!
