How To Chase Light Like Trent Parke

[@cindysmith6842]

Your research is impressive, not only of the artist but in the recreation as well. True dedication!!

[@JanneWolterbeek]

You took the words out of my mouth!

[@RichardSilvius]

I love these details you find and include, like the fact he used 100 rolls of film to get the bus shot. You hear similar stories about other photographers and the vast amounts of film they used trying to capture their most iconic work as well… it speaks to the dedication and work ethic of the photographer.

[@uncle0eric]

This brilliantly shows how great images often fall at the intersection between luck and patience. Thank you.

[@ImitativePhotography]

Well said!

[@kaptein1247]

''Luck is when effort meets opportunity''. This is probably the best way to describe masterpieces like this

[@tescoelvis4092]

Sensational work, I've found myself disinterested in Photography content due to the constant screaming match for publicity, but you were made for this. And I can tell you're doing it because you want to. The research, narration, the re-creation, all top tier. Your content is a gem in a field of rocks.

[@jasonlillo]

Right? People try to be so profound or loud and obnoxious or different for the sake of being different. This is a breath of fresh air.

[@theundefinedphotographer]

This was such a great feature on Trent Parke! I didn't know about him until this video. His work is gorgeous, thanks for spotlighting him! It was also really inspiring seeing you try to recreate his images.

[@ImitativePhotography]

Thanks for watching!

[@shagral]

That Solaire of Astora reference made me laugh hard. Well played, sir. Excellent video too.

[@drurybynum9657]

Excellent video. Love your tone and voice. Your attempts to recreate the shots are one of the most educationally valuable things I've ever seen. Really gives an appreciation of the craft.

[@scarlettfreund9576]

Brilliant distillation of this portion of Trent Parke's work. Your shots were impressively successful. Thanks for this amazing series and the work you put into it. Bravo!

[@sidieltravels9508]

I just got here, and wow, just wow, your content pushes me to discover or learn my own style of photography, thank you!

[@webcss]

I couldn't agree more on my predecessors, thank you ever so much for your effort in providing us with such inspiring and detailed videos and insight on the work of these great photographers. Still one of my favorite channels by far!

[@ImitativePhotography]

Thank you for watching!

[@dreamscuba]

Great video and you captured these images very well. I can see that Trent is very driven and it requires a lot of patience to get the right shot.

[@Kyleattwoodphoto]

Your channel is so underrated! Recently discovered it and discovered Trent Parke through it. Love the artist background, the breakdown, process and replication

[@candidsol]

This is fantastic!!!! I'm embarrassed to say I've never heard of this photographer but he's quickly become one of my absolute favorites. Wow!!

[@shamsshaikh2887]

What an amazing deep dive video on photography !! And no talk about gear and pixels.

[@PitNeex]

This was very exciting,trying to catch just the right moment, I loved the procedure and the results!

[@karikaru]

Wow the work you put into these episodes, the narration, and the explanation are all incredible. I've been shooting for 10 years and feel like I'm learning so much and soaking up so much inspiration

[@romaDa]

Your videos are so inspiring. I really love these series as I learn so much. Thank you very much!

[@tomm4886]

I just discovered you're channel with this video, what a great work ! thanks for sharing and good job on the recreation

[@kimtoledo6478]

Mad respect. Im from Toronto as well and I just starting street photography this is such a good inspiration.

[@adrianschaub]

once again my deepest respect for making an extremely informative video about a great photographer previously unknown to me and your excellent photographic skill in rearranging them. Many thanks for sharing the technical details behind, which allows the viewer to try to take similar pictures. Big kudos!

[@tewaarathon215]

You had me riveted for every moment. An excellent video about two excellent photographs from an excellent photographer! Your reverse engineering is so educational. Thank you

[@MrDeeNicee]

You really nailed it with the minivan photo! Trent Parke is a big source of inspiration for me and it was great to see the kind of work that goes in to replicating his technique.

[@ImitativePhotography]

Yeah, it's hard not to feel inspired after hearing him talk about photography.

[@VioletNotViolence]

Loved this video. I really enjoyed how you walked through your thought process. It helps me learn as a photographer. Thank you!

[@bilaltariq2364]

This is so amazing and inspiring. I remember when I began getting interest in photography and visual art, it was mainly through photoshop tutorials and imitation that I was able to develop my skill. Over the course of years, the learning has been through theory but that doesn't translate in creating pictures; it just improves them with a more critical eye. Imitating peers was one solid grasp but then its not too dignifying when you are just imitating your peer and becoming a second copy. A second copy of great industry leaders is another thing. So much to learn just in the process even if you fail to imitate it entirely. Elevates your skill to really high level, makes your work stand out, and even gives you that sense of how to approach the artform.

[@worldadventuretravel]

I really love your channel. You introduce me to so many photographers I was unaware of, you show me their work instead of just talking about them, I learn about their method, then I learn cool new ways to experiment when I go shoot. This is such great work, thank you!

[@ravimathew4123]

Thank you for introducing brilliant photographers to more photography enthusiasts. Your dedication to recreate iconic shots are really impressive. God bless you.

[@riverwalkeraustralia]

This was fantastic and your recreations really helped understand how the light worked in these scenes. Thank you

[@stevehines8864]

Wonderfully educational, brilliantly executed and thoroughly enjoyable to watch.

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

I’ve just happened to find your channel by chance and luck. I am so appreciative that you analyze and recreate these inspirational photos and also take the time to document your efforts and findings. I’m hooked and given a new boost of creative appetite by your videos. Thank you so much. Your work is very much appreciated and unique.

[@ImitativePhotography]

Thank you that's great to hear!

[@hesstristan]

Such a good video and take on Trent Parke's photography. Super enjoyable to watch. Thank you.

[@paulpantorilla6121]

Really cool! Thanks for exploring how these shots where made. Gets me motivated to get out some more.

[@ThePhantomJack]

Your channel is becoming my favorite photography-related. Such nice work!

[@adrian65165]

You did an excellent job of recreating challenging images 👌 And thank you for bringing another great inspirational photographer to my/our attention. Love your channel - still my fave on photography.

[@ImitativePhotography]

Thanks Adrian!

[@bruce-le-smith]

fantastic, thank you. one thing that is still impressive about Parke's image of the shadows on moving traffic, is that there are perfect little people inside the larger shadow shapes... that part still blows my mind. your recreation definitely helps me start to understand it thought, thanks again. i can see why Parke said he didn't even understand what he was photographing or how it was happening. very cool

[@ImitativePhotography]

It really is mind blowing.

[@andresheredia]

I loved this video, to see how you recreate the photographs is incredible!!!!!

[@alannogues3510]

Awesome in every way. This channel is pure inspiration

[@ImitativePhotography]

Thanks!

@@ImitativePhotography 💯you deserve 1mil subs

[@marc6652]

When I ear a piano concerto, I'm impressed both by the composer's and the performer's work. Same here. It's so good to watch a video of photo talking art and not gear.

[@thebendu33]

Dude, wow, this is a great channel. So happy to have found a channel actually about photography and not gear.

[@exidia01]

Like others here I didn't know Trent Parke's work until now, so I'm delighted to have found this website demonstrating his patience and technique, and yours. Thank you.

[@jacobtheape]

pretty incredible to recreate these shots, great stuff.

[@scruffypeppi]

This is such an interesting breakdown of Trent's work, I learned so much! Thank you!

[@jvenne2]

Just discovered your channel. Realy enjoying your content, especially this video. I am inspired!

Brilliant! Loved the mini-van shot

[@WestWightPhotography]

Great work. Really enjoyed this. Something new to try.

[@medmondsr]

you're my new favorite youtuber. I love that you worked through how to replicate their images. That would be a great exercise for e a photo course

[@yourfashionarchive427]

[@RohanGillett]

90% of the photography content on KZbin is completely useless. I don't gain anything useful from it. You're in that 10% that is useful. What you do is brilliant actually. Most people know the basics but have trouble moving to the next level. The breakdowns you give of famous photographers' techniques give us ideas on how to make better images. Great stuff!

[@ellak1477]

Thank you for your research! It's impressive and inspiring ❤

[@againstall-y6h]

Excelent, like always! Thanks!!!

[@Chum_chumi]

Wow! This channel is amazing and I'd say that you are just as gifted as the artist you study.

[@BMCOmotors]

I'd like to see one of those (how to videos) of Argus Paul about his flash shoots that look like double exposure, great videos by the way!.

[@ImitativePhotography]

Thanks, I'll add him to the list!

[@LucasSousa-jz2zd]

Thank you so much for your videos, is so nice to be able to learn so much with them, I’ve been searching for ages for good photography content like that

[@ImitativePhotography]

Thank you, glad I could help!

[@mankyraver]

KZbin has just recommended the most interesting channel this year, so now I'm obliged to watch every film you've made. It is absolutely fantastic stuff!! I'm learning so much here, about people I've met never heard of, and of different perspectives on life. Thank you so much for your hard work 😁👍

[@ImitativePhotography]

Thank you, although I can't guarantee the quality the further back you watch 🤣

[@sethnielsen3325]

Holy heck was not prepared. Thank you.

Awesome video, and stunning photos

[@RyanDaley-cc9oq]

Amazing work and video, love Narelle and Trent's work

Thanks!

[@mathewtoll6780]

Very impressive vid. I've only just discovered Trent Parke's work but it is one of the most innovated interesting work I've seen

[@maximemaxoo1214]

the research going into your video is crazy, I could not understand how the bus picture was done to be honest, well done !

[@hugomartinsphoto]

This was a great video! what a fascinating photographer. Thanks for the work!

[@dungbeetle.]

The other fortunate thing about Trent's bus shot is that there are people visible on the other side of the street framed nicely within the people's shadows on the bus. Very serendipitous! :)

[@benkadie512]

Love your channel! Such interesting photographers and so cool to see you break down their approach

[@michael-e2e4c]
