How to Take Photos Like Alexey Titarenko

[@matthathaway5015]

The security guy in the subway was the most confusing mix of strict and understanding at the same time lol. Great video, Frederik!

[@FTrovatten]

Back! Who should the next photographer be? As promised, here is the link to my last video in London: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqqoeJ2Lhtyrf7M.

[@DeclannShieldsFilms]

So happy to see a new upload from you! You’re the reason I first had a crack at photography!

[@FTrovatten]

@@DeclannShieldsFilms That's great to hear! Thank you for sharing that.

[@leemjfreeman9856]

Saul Leiter. Give us more! Need regular content. You're amazing.

[@rick-deckard]

Nobody covers Huger Foote. Heck Uta Barth.

[@marklushman467]

not really a street photographer but ive always been extremely curious how Davide Sorrenti took photos. my understanding is that its done handheld so there is some natural blur, low lighting and exposure, and then creative posing and framing. the colours always bounce off eachother really well in his photos and i was just wondering if you could break it down. Great video

[@Hic_Rhodus]

Your videos are ALWAYS so chill and inspiring. I think its because you discuss your topics in such an unaffected, thoughtful and low key manner. Thanks for drawing Titarenko to my attention. 👍

[@NathanMaid]

good to see you again

[@johnlloyd9613]

I agree These photographs have captured my interest and made me want to try them myself

[@leemjfreeman9856]

Christmas has come early. My fav uploads.

[@FTrovatten]

Thank you!

[@Lorak669]

Always ask first before taking photos in underground system. It was a target many times and keeping the camera and the tripod next to the traction where people can knock it off its always a risk.

May just be my favorite photographer ever. This video is gold. Thank you!

[@alisonurfe1119]

why?

[@harveyfreed6342]

I have been taking pictures for a bunch of years (way), and am continually impressed how unimaginative I can be. What a fun ,creative idea. Can't wait to put my own spin on it.

[@Christotheb]

Your photography in Mexico was one of the kickstarts of me getting into film photography, specifically black and white. Now I roll, shoot, develop and scan all of my film from home and I absolutely love the experience! Thank you for introducing me to my new hobby! Do you have any good reccomendations for where to find photographers to look at? I'd never heard of Alexei Titarenko before today.

[@FTrovatten]

Thanks a lot. I’d recommend look at photo books likes these: trovatten.com/books/ and look up the authorsz

[@Christotheb]

@@FTrovatten thanks very much, I'll take a look!

[@samv2777]

Thank you presenting his work

[@PitNeex]

WoW! That was a good one! Fantastic images, I particularly liked the one at the London's metro ticket check point. And the one at the stairs where a figure stands out also made an impression on me. Overall watching a new video from you is always a joy, even when shooting like others you still manage to keep your unique perspective ❤

[@cindyrosen8170]

Fantastic video! I’ve missed seeing more videos from you. However, you always put so much time and research into each one, it’s worth the wait. And, really admire your tenacity as you overcome the challenges of street photography in many of these locations. You never give up! #muchappreciation

[@DerekBoy27]

What an excellent photography lesson! Thank you! Entertaining as always 😊

[@comelachapelle8337]

Excellent video where i learned from you on this russian photograph. Thank you.

[@LeePierre]

Good to have u back 😊

[@Peter-df1br]

Well done! Thanks! I also like the photos by Olga Karlovac. Perhaps you could do a video of her style.

[@utubesgreat4me]

Pure excellence. One of the best photo tutorials I’ve seen. 👏👏👏

[@FTrovatten]

Ty so much!

[@badass013]

Can't tell you how much i enjoy this series, never end this please ❤🙌

[@martinsmith6049]

Here's a tip Fred... Wear a dirty high vis jacket and work clothes. That's how I operate in urban deprivation areas. Even the council workers think you are from the council. Makes you invisible. Don't shave for a few days and look bored when you work. Flickr neil2446

[@RicardoRMedina]

Glad to see you back on KZbin! Contento de verte de nuevo en KZbin!

[@kennygo8300]

You are my favorite photographer. I really hope you do post more. Thank you for this. Another inspiration that is needed in a Texas summer.

[@FTrovatten]

Thank you for the kind words.

[@MobilityForFighting]

Love the sequence at the 5min mark!

[@FTrovatten]

That edit felt good :)

10:10 Love this one with the guard on the overpass watching over the endless stream of souls

[@daviddaw999]

Frederik, I really enjoyed this video. You introduced me to a photographer of whom I was hitherto unaware, and then showed me how he created such amazing pictures, documenting your struggles to recreate his work. It was inspirational, so thanks a lot. I may well try something similar when next in a busy place.

[@MomentsFound]

Well I surely loved the picture in the London tube where people’s hands were entering the cards into the turnstiles.

[@eltinjones4542]

I've tried this with some success, because my shutter speeds weren't as long as yours ( to get the effect that required ), I did't necessarily use ND filters The ones that I've shot were in low light also and I used a tripod of course 📷👍

[@matyrrell1112]

Great job. I started studying Titarenko's work this summer in a low light photography class.

[@andrewcroft2570]

Awesome vlog Frederik, I'm a newbie to photography and when I saw the same picture you did of Alexy Titarenko and it moved me completely. Your pictures are incredible.

[@MrMestrebimba]

Thank you for the explanations. I'll try to emulate those shots to learn. Thanks again

[@vortexsurfer3]

Awesome video! I want to play around with the shutter speed now. Can you do Fan Ho next?

[@RealBesty]

Welcome to London!

[@zoranzambo7364]

[@malsbestpal]

Just discovered your channel, and this video. I found your explanation so succinct, and inspiring. Delighted, as I will now have a binge watch of all your videos to look forward to. Thank you.

[@luisalfa9023]

Wonderful pictures, and great video. Congratulations. 👏👏👏

[@earthandwind820]

1:33-1:40 🤯 Wow, what a photograph & what an explanation!! I had seen Alexeys photographs before randomly when I was far younger (teen), but didn’t remember his name….his photos stood with me though. How amazing to now know the photographer! Also, what great videos & photos you yourself have. I get easily distracted, and sometimes have a hard time following videos that are longer than 2-3 minutes….but you make the videos so easy to follow and understand, while explaining things that can be complex!

[@RealBesty]

Fascinating - a really interesting way of making an image and using camera settings. Food for thought!

[@cyrilstheone]

I going through a bit of a lull at the min. But I saw a video of a guy trying to recreate ( like your doing here) and was blown away. Can't wait to give this style a go when I'm back at it. Love your videos man...

[@gabriellechisholm5411]

Great video, Frederik. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@garyjames-ij4fr]

Great street photography by both of you. Enjoyed viewing.

[@scottyharp]

This is an amazing video from an amazing series! Thank you so much for introducing me to Alexy!

[@OwenEDell]

This is inspiring! I have always been fascinated by Titarenko's work. I'm going to try this. What about color? Any reason why the images have to be in black and white?

[@paulhenry7]

Interesting video, though I should point out that the Zeiss 80mm Planar on a Hasselblad is an f2.8 lens, not f1.8.

[@WilliamCrespo]

What if you adjust the camera strap at a certain height from your neck, stand still and you can use the fuji app on the phone as the viewfinder to frame the photo, stand still and use the app as a remote shutter button, that way you don't draw attention to yourself with the tripod

[@rolf_siggaard]

Many thanks for sharing this. Absolutely mesmerising and impactful storytelling.

Glad to see a video of yours.

[@johntruman6571]

Hi Frederik. I love the way in which you learn about and educate us in the styles and techniques of other photographers. I have asked before, but would you consider looking at the work of Jane Bown, who worked at the Observer for around 60 years as a portrait photographer, armed with nothing other than an Olympus OM-1, Tri-X and natural light? Thanks.

[@alvaro.delarosa]

Gracias

[@jgreenturkey2]

Wondering if you could use a Gorilla grip in place of the large tripod? Or even a heavy bean bag to prop up your camera on a ledge or railing. Solid video and subject btw

[@bartrainer3916]

Well done!

[@eliasvhr]

Great video and some of the photos you took are beautiful. I really liked the one of the hands checking out/in at the tube station. Another photographer I think would be great for you to cover is Saul Leiter. I'm a big fan of his work and would love to see your take on it. Keep up the good work!

[@kipmay5101]

I loved this video 100%. Thank you.

[@jillfischman6350]

Wonderful work.

[@juanQuedo]

I remember the first time I saw Titarenko's pictures.They where so special, full of mystery, you can almost feel the atmosphere of the city and its people after the USSR collapsed. Regarding security guards. I understand the tripod issue on the Tube; is a relatively small space, full of people and the last thing they want is any legal issues if someone trips over the tripod or who knows, but don't think that his manners right of the bat were the best way to deal with the situation. The others though...the ones of the building seem the most clueless to me. As long you are in public space (and the oposite side of the road is almost certainly not their property) you could take all the pictures you want, more even so with this style where people is not identificable, art purposes, no one could argue the otherwise and buildings have no rights here yet, this is not USA. But I understand that it is not usually worth it to argue with security.

[@jaydigshistory36]

Good to see your videos again

[@cmeluzzi]

Thank you for sharing your experience! Do you think that this effect is better noticeable only if seen in black and white? Thanks!

[@zediogoamareleja]

Searching for A.Titarenko informations I come across of your video and Its really a masterpiece and a big add on to all who apreciated this kind of art expression. Allow me to ask if the photos you shown are single shots or you use any type of blending of several frames? Thank you for share your inspitation and technique. Apreciated very much

[@mywho4465]

Thanks a lot Frederik for putting this video together. It's really fascinating. Q: how did you make your photos look grainy (as taken with film)? At the base ISO, the images are supposed to have really low noise, right?

[@FTrovatten]

I do it using ‘Grain’ in Lightroom :)

[@pattyconnelly8823]

Wonderful video! Thank you. 🙏🏻

[@JohnMarston1876]

The haircut looks really good, also this felt like I was watching a movie, really great job

[@schecterman7193]

Great video ! great job ! I think A. Titarenko stacked several photos with different exposure times (from a few seconds to several minutes perhaps). I'm talking about some photos from his most famous series. Because if it was a single photo, everything would be blurred... you wouldn't see details (the hands for example). He stacked and masked certain parts of certain photos. What do you think of this?

[@anandamoychatterji5948]

Enjoyed it, learned a lot.

[@gary4739]

Excellent vid! I got a lot of ideas from it. Thanks you.

[@tomislavmiletic_]

1) SVEMA - almost correct pronunciation 😉 2) For long exposures gorillapod could help. Course it's small and unobtrusive and you don't block the flow of the people. 3) If gorillapod is no option, than a MONOPOD combined with a camera that has the IBIS should give you exposures longer than 2 seconds...

[@BenjaminWhite66212]

Interesting and motivating.

[@TheOn3LeftBehind]

This was such a fantastic video!

[@rayninness6303]

Interesting method!!👍

[@bitkurser]

Awesome! Has been thinking of doing this style in Copenhagen, now I better get moving! Great perspective, diden't know about Alexey. Very moody images.

[@jamesallison5726]

Fantastic video as always! Quick question, I couldn't find a link to the ND filter you use for your 35mm 1.4. Any chance you could throw up a link?

Your videos are always excellent! Extrano su videos de ciudad de mexico.

[@Nayson]

Coming to this a few days after it was posted, but yeah. You fell foul of the privately owned “public” space at Arsenal (and Canary Wharf) which is increasingly common in London. If you want to revisit the football stadium idea then I’d suggest Fulham. It’s old so it’s built right up against public infrastructure and the bottlenecks are pretty narrow. You’ve got the absolutely beautiful Johnny Haynes stand on Stevenage Road, it’s an old red brick Victorian building that is right up against terraced housing and it really is worth seeing. You’ll get a good flow of people through Bishop’s Park heading to/from the tube at Putney Bridge too, but that stand might be exactly what you are looking for.

[@CorySchadt]

[@manuelhuber5483]

Great "seeing you" again, Frederik 😊 very decent video as always, just love your honesty & authenticity (...& the results of course)! I'm currently travelling around south america and watched your mexico city movies to learn how to ask strangers for a photo 😊 however, I'm still fighting w/ my comfort zone 😅

Don’t worry. You got it! And enjoy it :)

[@freirewanderley1]

thank you!

[@nielsdaugaard4276]

Very interesting way of photography and well produced video. Thanks. You mentioned taking photos with the intervalometer. Is it to get different moments of time or to blend the photos afterwards - as 15x2s instead of 1x30s?
