[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@wildlinesau]

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

[@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

[@simonbarnes7124]

I’ve been fascinated by Trent Parke’s photography for years now. Great video you made investigating how he made those 2 iconic photographs. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@philipbugala]

These are amazing I have been looking for something like this, this is fine art, at its best

[@patmercier3578]

Still what a great channel you have, thank you for doing this and making some of us discover some of the great photographers of our time.

[@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!

[@ThePhantomJack]

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

[@alannogues3510]

Awesome in every way. This channel is pure inspiration

[@billtiyu]

Love how informative this is. Thank you!

[@thekushinator]

That was sensational stuff mate. Thanks for all the research you did and the recreation was pretty awesome in itself.

[@Contact_Sheets3692]

Great work as always ❤❤❤❤

[@sidieltravels9508]

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

[@lionheart01]

really love this channel, perfect topics and executions

[@ludwingabrahampalafoxgelov8199]

Incredible video, they are my favorite photos of Trent and really the approach and analysis is incredible. Congratulations and thank you

[@rogerhyland8283]

Thanks for this. Great mini documentary and great tutorial on creating the shots. It was interesting that Trent Parke said he couldn’t replicate it and even better for the insight that when you can’t repeat something you know you’ve really got something special. Im not in his league obviously but when I think of the shots Ive taken that I feel are something special, they are all something that you only get once.

[@ryanniven]

Really really great! Super happy you got it!

[@jvenne2]

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

[@jiefuti]

Love these insightful videos. Thank you!

[@ViniMehta07]

So much of research and dedication to get that perfect picture. Each and every frame of video is interesting 😊

[@kimtoledo6478]

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

[@Casualfulltime]

What an artist. I love your channel! Sharing process is rare and thanks for your work.

[@asmundboe]

Thanks for the Solaire reference! Was not expecting it!

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

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.

[@jacobtheape]

pretty incredible to recreate these shots, great stuff.

[@shamsshaikh2887]

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

[@user-oe1yy9cv4i]

really great channel dude im glad i found u

[@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.

[@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

[@tristanhess5151]

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