Photography Lessons from Celebrity Photographers!

[@xxGravyBabyxx]

Ringo Starr is the GOAT when it comes to photographing the behind the scenes of what it's like to be bigger than life. His photos capture the mundane moments of the Beatles and allow the four boys to be humanized. Excellent stuff by Ringo!

[@alexdiaz1492]

Respect to all these people. Honestly didnt expect much but a good majority of these photos are great with their own style and personality imposed on the photos

[@metalfingersfilm]

Made a Part 2 & 3 about this!! Check it out here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5zIiJRonaZqmpo kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH2VZoWAmrukY8k

[@metalfingersfilm]

[@1994lilroy]

[@stefanvasilev9318]

Exploring abandoned spot with your friends and run into Ben from Friends LOL

[@prntm926]

That would be cool, but most of the time i run into people having seggs

[@coreymagz3145]

This video is a great Leica ad. Joking! The pictures done by Cole Sprouse are phenomenal!

[@metalfingersfilm]

Hahaha might as well have been, after how much these dudes drool over leicas lol

[@ArchiesLens]

Absolutely love this video. As a model and photographer myself I love showing people that you can do more than one craft. 💮✨

[@metalfingersfilm]

[@toomanyjstoomanyrs1705]

I can relate to Jason Lee, so much to see and photograph in the USA.

[@metalfingersfilm]

Agreed, my favorite thing is taking my time with roadtrips and making some photos.

[@toomanyjstoomanyrs1705]

@@metalfingersfilm me three, I do that every year going to TX towns.

[@RogerKeith74]

Loved this

[@sopanhaung6095]

What camera is in the thumbnail?

[@hubertdzierzawski300]

I love the fact that while you were telling "many celebrities in today's world are multi-talented" and you put footage of J-lo making a tea 😂

[@marcelklemetson3109]

great video keaton

[@metalfingersfilm]

Thanks homie, appreciate you watching!

[@Jacobtburger]

[@wewewewa]

[@sivgreyson]

[@metalfingersfilm]

huh, I coulda swore I had it right, lol Thanks for watching!

[@Mr_Nunez]

Former pitcher Randy Johnson and current pitcher for the Mets Adam Ottavino are both photographers

[@ghosttownsentinel5288]

There are a few others: Dennis Hopper, Leonard Nemoy, Victory Tischler Blue (The Runaways bass guitarist), and more

[@MichaelSeneschal]

Jeff Garlin, should be on this list. Honorable mention to Nick Zinner, the guitar player for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

[@metalfingersfilm]

Thanks for the additions, Michael!

[@timallenphotogram]

Andy Summers of the Police is a brilliant photographer who documented the whole of The Police's career. The documentary about him is well worth tracking down (Can't Stand Losing You).

[@DavidKingsbury89]

i'm stupid and had no idea frank ocean shot that stuff himself on the contax3. that's fucking dope

[@misternutter]

aston kurtcher, Leonard nemoy.

[@gregdahlgren451]

How could forget Dennis Hopper. He’s the best.

[@metalfingersfilm]

Hmm I'm sensing a part two may be necessary

[@Mr_Nunez]

Karl Lagerfeld used a GA645zi.

[@ADHDIYuk]

Winona Ryder is also a published photographer.

[@metalfingersfilm]

So many people I missed, maybe I'll make a pt. 2!

[@loganhathaway3957]

Winona Ryder is a good person to add to celebrity photographers.

[@MWigforss]

[@bryanpasicolan2556]

Great vid but where's Winona Ryder?

[@metalfingersfilm]

👀👀

[@bfs5113]

If these people aren't celebrities, then most of them probably would remain as an unknown, similar to an undiscovered Vivian Maier. No doubt there are thousands, if not millions of them throughout the decades. For instance, the gallery owner who re-discovered Fan Ho (enthusiast photographer, Asian actor, director) after he retired at the States, who was already a master photographer 3-4 decades earlier (>200 awards & named twice as the world best) and asked him "Are you a photographer?" during their first encounter. 🙂

[@metalfingersfilm]

Woah, do you have any more info on this? Sounds really intriguing

[@bfs5113]

@@metalfingersfilm This was a chance meeting with Mark Pinsukanjana, co-owner Modernbook Gallery in Palo Alto after Fan Ho (dubbed as the Henri Cartier-Bresson of the East) after he retired in California. As a result, he gained more exposure in the West and now there is plenty info on the Internet. As well, there is a good intro video at 'The Art of Photography' channel.

[@Riley-rs2qb]

I agree with you. Because some celebrities have attention and exposure, their photography works will be easier to be discovered by the public, and the road to photography will be better than that of ordinary photographers. Japan's Masaharu Fukuyama, for example, is a singer and actor, as well as a photographer. He shot CD covers for other singers, a poster for clothing brand NICOLE, and later as a professional photographer for TV Asahi for the Olympic Games in Sydney, Athens and Beijing. What‘s more, in China, not long ago, a group of pictures of the famous Chinese actor Tony Leung went viral. Surprisingly, this group of photos stemmed from a 9-year-old girl named Shengsheng. Glance over her social media platform can find that she has also photographed many celebrities. Many people are curious about why Shengsheng a little girl can cooperate with so many stars, after careful understanding, it turns out that Shengsheng's father is a famous photographer Zou Yupeng. There is no denying that their photography level is good, but if without the blessing of their celebrity status, for ordinary photographers, it requires a lot of effort to get these photograph opportunities.

[@camerakungfu]

John "Bermuda" Schwartz (Weird Al's drummer) Andy Summers (guitarist for The Police) Tony Levin (Bassist for Peter Gabriel) Karl Largerfeld (fashion Designer) But then if I feel like I have to write who they are, maybe they're not famous enough.

[@metalfingersfilm]

Hahaha, all good additions!!

[@yomamatoofat3418]

Viggo Mortensen, Seal, Dennis Hopper

[@metalfingersfilm]

ohhh great recommendations!

[@DanielLopez-zg6kz]

Zach Bryan also shoots film i believe, and makes amazing music!

[@Viator19]

Check out Andy Summers

[@stillben]

8:58 you don't gaze through the lens of a T3! you look through a viewfinder, quite separate from the lens.

[@metalfingersfilm]

it was a play on words for Frank ocean. He has a single called “lens” 😂

[@hajmanott]

Lenny Kravitz came 1989 so over 30 years and sold over 40 millions..you got to get it right! And Kravitz Design has done 2 leicca cameras..one he is using in your piece. He has a book out called Flash!!

[@metalfingersfilm]

The Pride of Lenny Kravitz

[@Yehemalo]

I feel like a massive opportunity was missed by not putting Nikki Sixx in the #6 slot.

[@metalfingersfilm]

Haha, touche.

[@cozywithsarkozy9206]

yet we havent seen any notable contribution from kylie cardassian, except raise up the prices of contax T2

[@TerryManning]

Seal, Jason Mamoa and Jeff Garlin are all Leica enthusiasts.

[@metalfingersfilm]

Ahhh yes, I forgot about those guys!

[@whosjozikolnik]

yes I'm 100% for scripted educational videos!

[@metalfingersfilm]

Awesome! Thanks Jozef!!

[@Mr_Nunez]

Christie Brinkley, boxing. Heath Ledger

[@donm60]

Dennis Hopper

[@metalfingersfilm]

Yeah definitely missed Dennis hopper in this one!

[@jaidamann8365]

Another Celebrity who's deep into photography is DJ DNice (rapper and DJ from the 90s)...

[@jamesallison5726]

Can't forget Bryan Adams either

[@katecrabb1958]

Jessica Lange is also a wonderful photographer, T Hopper is one of my favorite creators as well

[@soundslikeknee]

Helena Christensen is good

[@VariTimo]

Rian Johnson takes some dope photos. But I guess you couldn’t really all him a celebrity.

[@forrwhat]

Stewart Copeland is great, as was Kenny ROgers

[@ignasbalciunas8048]

😀

[@metalfingersfilm]

:)

[@ricardoyan7657]

Kenny Rogers

[@bushmanphotog]

While they are great photographers, the only reason they are successful and recognized for it is because of who they are. There are many great photographers out there who do not have that ability because no one cares who they are.

[@metalfingersfilm]

I would probably be inclined to agree. So much discipline and business savviness must ensue to really make it as a photographer.

[@philbarber9738]

This is more about whose behind instead of in front of the lens from the slim pickings I'm viewing here. They all have entry, access and travel at their disposal, say a lot, but show little. Bridges stuff is fun but a gimmick, Sprouse displays some provocative work but the rest leave me wanting. No lessons learned from these "celebs" here, unless Jeff wants to loan me his camera for awhile.

[@theesbros]

Brayn adams

[@metalfingersfilm]

huh, never heard of this guy, haha

[@Mr_Nunez]

Stanley Kubrick

[@herbertandrewdutton]

You missed Julian Lennon

[@chumleyk]

It's amazing what doors opened for them once they all became Scientologists...

Jason Lee's work is kinda mid though. His compositions are meh
