Great compilation dude, i follow 90% of these people already but it was nice to see some others. It was put together well

[@theBWexperience]

Thanks for leaving this nice comment!

[@brandonmcgee5022]

All are great black and white photographers, but one that wasn't mentioned who is also great in his work that wasn't mentioned Michael Kenna. He as a special fine are landscape style that would fit perfectly with the list you shared

[@pifilos]

Very nicely done regardless if one is familliar with their work or not.

[@theBWexperience]

Thank you very much 🖤

[@ChristineWilsonPhotography]

Great video , some I know and some I don't, but so many more not here too, just scratching the surface here but great start 😊

[@theBWexperience]

Thanks! Yes, I can easily add 20 more great photographers 😆 Which ones do you miss that inspire you?

[@ChristineWilsonPhotography]

@@theBWexperience Fan Ho, John free, Michael kenna, Paul hart , Ian Brabham, Joel tjintjelaar , Sebastian salgado , Jack curran , Matt black just to name a few 😊 two of them are dead now but all on instagram very inspiring 😀

[@charliejg]

Thanks for some names to add to my IG list. Some beautiful stuff out there.

[@theBWexperience]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for letting me know

[@mattbibbings]

I enjoyed this. Just found your channel and subbed. I enjoy the creative use of low contrast in some of the Landscape photography you highlighted. Something I'd like to explore myself.

[@theBWexperience]

Thanks for leaving such a nice comment 🖤 You probably mean Noel Bodle, right? I will probably travel to Southern England this summer, so his work is also a source of inspiration to me.

[@joelk8228]

Very inspiring and presented well! Nicely done!!

[@theBWexperience]

Thanks for your lovely words 🖤

[@Yves216]

Thanks for sharing this interesting video. Didn’t know all of them so you made my day as I have some new work to explore now.

[@theBWexperience]

Thank you very much for your nice comment! Great to hear that you got inspired by these artists.

[@DanScott1]

Interesting, thank you. Only one photo moved me, that of the woman on the tube train by Alan Schaller.

[@theBWexperience]

Thanks for letting me know. Alan is great! He has also an interesting KZbin channel.

[@DanScott1]

@@theBWexperience Yes, that classic English funny man style.

[@alexstrasser1]

I was impressed by it too, years ago. Until I understood the girl was Schaller's model. 🤣🤣🤣

[@DanScott1]

@@alexstrasser1 She was modeling for that photo.. has he stated as such?

[@gajawat]

Might well motivate me to go find something precious on IG again. Thanks for the inspiration ☺️

[@theBWexperience]

As with any social media platform, you have to use it properly to get some value out of it. I too follow some channels that distract me more that I get value (e.g. NBA channels, etc.). Thanks for your comment 🖤

[@rawvoltairephoto]

I loved getting to know these talents. Thank you so much for sharing 👍👍

[@theBWexperience]

Thanks for your lovely words 🖤 Glad that these artists inspire you, too.

[@douglasmccart8963]

What a great channel to discover

[@theBWexperience]

Thank you for the kind words 🖤

[@JohnPatrickWeiss]

Joao Cabral is a favorite of mine. I keep hoping he comes out with a book.

[@theBWexperience]

Definitely! We have to let him know that we‘re waiting for that book 😀

[@cinematicjourneys18618]

Thank you very much for sharing

[@theBWexperience]

You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed the episode 🖤

[@davidwalsh566]

Adrian Vila produces stunning b & w images and has a KZbin channel (aows)

[@theBWexperience]

It‘s funny that you mention him. I have had him on the list and follow him on KZbin as well. Great stuff. But I hat to make the cut as I already showed 21 photographers in this episode 😀 Thanks for your comment/ recommendation 🖤

Claudio Dell'Osa's images look very much like they are AI generated. Apologies if they're not, but they do look like they are

[@ludo1632]

I don’t think any of Claudio’s images are AI generated (though some might be that I don’t know of). I felt (like some others) that some of Keizot’s photos were AI generated but no obvious signs of it so they might not be any. With some photos it’s obvious while with others it’s not. AI is fine but I wish the creator would tell if asked: many people asked keisot if his photos were AI and he never answered.

[@theBWexperience]

On his website Claudio Dell‘Osa claims that these are photographs. Before checking that I also thought that he just uses Photoshop/etc. to create that look and not AI. But nowadays nobody really knows for sure 🙈 Nevertheless I thinks it‘s a very creative way to make (mysterious) portraits.

[@HenryStradford]

AI

[@lensman5762]

Good job. Thank you.

[@theBWexperience]

Great that you enjoyed the video.

[@amv-photography]

Enjoy Emma’s images, and also a follower on IG.

[@theBWexperience]

Yeah, she is great!

[@TomBeardshaw]

Mark Fearnley

[@theBWexperience]

Nice! He has a great portfolio, too. Thanks for letting us know 🖤

[@theblackandwhitefilmproject]

😎😎😎

[@jeremyfielding2333]

Good but all photoshopped to hell. Probably some AI in there too.

[@MarcAyres-p1e]

Defo Claudio's images look AI generated

[@theBWexperience]

I think every photographer in this video used Photoshop/Lightroom/etc to some degree. That‘s a way they want to express their vision. It seems that this is a general trend in photography. One can like it or not. AI nowadays is so capable that we get suspicious quickly. But again it can also be a nice source of inspiration. I can get a great idea for a photo project (which I want to shoot on film for example) from an AI created image. The thing is, one should not call oneself a photographer when the image is completely created by AI. On the other hand, using AI in Photoshop to remove unwanted subjects is a nice tool. What do you think?

[@ludo1632]

Can’t find Kaisot on instagram. Spelled correctly? Thanks

[@theBWexperience]

Keisot it is, sorry for that typo 🙈 The link in the „shownotes“ is correct though. Thanks for your comment!
