Who was Robert Frank?
Robert Frank was a Swiss-American photographer and filmmaker, born on November 9, 1924, and died on September 9, 2019. He is widely considered as one of the most important and influential photographers of the 20th century.
Frank first gained recognition for his book "The Americans," which was published in 1958. The book is a collection of photographs that Frank took during his travels across the United States in the mid-1950s. It offers a candid and often critical view of American society and culture, and is now considered a seminal work in the history of photography.

Which photographer should I do next? Watch the next episode of this series kzbin.info/aero/PLQAJ8pSCXDc6eeFnrjnBnvXyPYNNUQzph. Also a big THANK YOU to everyone who has become a member of my channel: geni.us/trovatten. We might only be 5 members now, but it helps me create videos like this :)!

[@davidmb2587]

I think it's a fun exercise! You got some really good ones. And you always see YOUR style in the photos too. Next one: Henri Cartier-Bresson?

[@teodavid739]

Great video...Studying those before you sets the course for finding your own style...i find it to help me think outside the box because i think, "this has been done before, what can i do different?" Great video...

[@TokyoGritandGrain]

It's the journey, not the destination. 🙂

[@_lowcountry]

I guess they didn’t realize you already have your own style lol

[@JordanMorrison1]

I think with any art the best way to push its boundaries is to learn everything about that art. Once you have that foundation, then begin to adapt your knowledge into a truly unique style! You're doing an amazing job, keep indulging in the foundations and soon people will be studying your unique style as part of their foundational learning process!

[@andrewz379]

great video 6:28 drivers are slowing down and let you take the photo, how cool is that.

[@FTrovatten]

Yes exactly! Saw that when editing the video too!

[@montycraig5659]

Seems like typical Mexican culture. The people are very polite!

[@AhmedBristolskiy]

Fun fact, R.Frank took over 30k pictures while traveling across the States, and chose only 83 to publish in the Americans. So, everything is about curating your gallery.

[@arunashamal]

Dirty secret of street photography is shooting in bulk! and then finding a one good photo...many youtubers trying to tell us that you can get couple masterpieces everytime you go out.. but it is not the case

[@AhmedBristolskiy]

@@arunashamal definitely, H.Cartier-Bresson made over 300k snaps, and his gallery consist max 0.1% of shooted.

[@j.carlosneria179]

that must've been so expensive in those days god damn

[@arunashamal]

@@j.carlosneria179 probably less than buying 2 rolls of portra today!

I’m enjoying this series!! Keep them coming Frederik 🎞

[@FTrovatten]

Thanks! Plenty to come :)

How to take photos like Fan Ho!! Would really like to see you try that style in Mexico

[@carlosgerardofernandezluza6810]

Fan Ho is amazing!

[@mapakern3979]

yes please

[@erus86]

My vote also!

[@charlessweeney5546]

Fan Ho was my very first thought. There are so many classic photographers to cover. You could go on for a very long time.

[@YesImZane]

I’m a Fan of this suggestion

[@KeinAzzlack]

This "how to take photos like" series is one of the most inspiring on KZbin

[@FTrovatten]

Thank you!

Brilliant. You captured his heart, soul, artistry, and compassion.

[@le.casten8109]

15:36 wooow, a real highlight here. Luv it!

[@TokyoGritandGrain]

The generational commentary and photos really hit it. That's a special thing. Great work, again.

[@juntin4339]

Can't help clicking into this video even its's now 03:28 in my time zone. Your works are just fabulous.

[@FTrovatten]

Great to hear! Good night Jun!

[@Necroblob]

This series is both interesting and inspiring. Love your humility and thoughtfulness about how others perceive what you are doing. Please keep doing these!

[@paulwoolrich4765]

As a Mexican i see that you are very respectful and sympathetic with people who are not as fortunate as you. We all are foreigners some where and is understood, you are lucky Mexicans will not belittle you or put you down but not only encourage you but support you more than just morally and that coming from a less fortunate people than you makes them wealthier and better. Keep up the good work man

[@djsoulfilter]

Love your interaction with Pedro 😎👍🏼👍🏼

[@simonssol3526]

Honestly man, your channel is incredible. The way you approach people in the street is with such respect and kindness. Your explanation on compassion in photography is on point. Thanks for all the content. It is inspiring

[@nm213]

loving this series so far!

[@moldoveanumihai4174]

I absolutely love this channel. Good work Frederik

[@jeremyjs8863]

This is great. So glad to find your work. Particularly appreciate the way you work with people, showing respect and kindness. Setting a great example - which ultimately helps protect the genre.

[@acexl]

This is an amazing Series. I love the mix of history lesson with the actual practice. the addition of the shaky shots and rejections of people to have their photos taken was also nice to remind us that everyone makes those mistakes and everyone has to have a thick skin to keep doing street photography.

[@djsoulfilter]

This new series is amazing and inspirational!!

[@vitoriamac]

I’m addicted to this serie ♥️ so nice!

[@sholombrummel3732]

[@philippber6760]

I can hardly image the amount of work that goes into these videos, highly appreciated, keep going 👍

[@jpegdotjpg2993]

Great perspective. I really appreciate you addressing compassionate street photography and the inherent privilege there. And also how Frank's work lives in that space. Well said.

[@cityhunter2501]

loved these series and have watched them all!

[@theanglohouse601]

I just came across your YT and IG channels last night and I can't stop watching your vids. I identify with everything you say and do! You are an incredible inspiration. Thank you and please keep these vids coming!!!

[@patdurr]

This series of videos “How to Take Photos Like...” are wonderful. Keep em’ coming.

[@paulabologna1327]

You're totally right about recognizing privilege in photography!! It's so important to understand the power dynamics involved when we take pictures. Your comment also got me thinking about something my anthropology professor once said. They stressed the significance of not reducing people to just their poverty when we document them. It's a challenge, but we should strive to see their complete humanity and the richness of their experiences.

[@sherrioster7012]

I'm really enjoying this series. Thank you!

[@thomas9884]

Love this new series! Very inspiring! Keep it up! 👌👏

[@AyrBlues]

I'm really enjoying your videos, they give me inspiration........well done!!

[@zarate1om]

I love your videos and amazing photos! I recently started trying college and instead of looking at specified photography subjects as forced, I embraced them and used it as an opportunity to shoot out of my comfort zone. It is kind of embarrassing because all of my photos are crap, but I am gaining so much experience and humility from trying to shoot things that I never would have before. I think that forcing yourself to shoot in another photographers style is so beneficial! I might try it on my own, even though I don’t run a channel.

[@dadisiolutosin4279]

Another great video. Frederik, I still want to see you do Gordon Parks.

[@TCinSoCal]

I truly enjoy your videos & photos..as well as your perspective. Inspiring. Thank you.

[@Caballeroshot]

As a Mexican myself I see no disrespect in what you're doing, we need more photographers to document our people and our culture with the respect and humility you take to your work. Great video series, loving this project. Cuidate y muchos saludos desde Texas!

A treat watching you photograph my city. The way you captured Coyoacán reminds me of how I saw it while growing up and walking around there every weekend. We should all aspire to retain that curious eye as if everything was new.
