Through The Lens - Ep. 03: @kostennn

[@themuddykip]

Please never ever stop making these

[@7valued]

I love Antonio. His work is so raw and he's one of my favorite instagramers right now. So inspiring

[@fotouhi]

Loved your photos and your attitude. Keep up the good work.

[@wilbmoore]

I'm sorry I don't usually comment on this but this young mans work is really great however there is nothing new under the sun. I personally wish that we as photographers would come to this realization.

[@9thero961]

facts

[@phamilyoffive]

The day you think there is nothing new under the sun is the day you stopped growing as an artist.

[@dennisgavarian8686]

You see things the way I do. I love to take my straight photos and make them abstract. I see colors in my imagination that not many others see. You have a special talent, and I hope it brings the world to your feet.

[@GlenBarney]

Adorama - thanks for this. This video and that artist is inspiring! Thank you!

[@Spicaayy]

This is dope af!!

[@similarvisuals9738]

Inspiring work. He actually does work for his shots. I admire all those photographers that climb up cranes, fire escapes and all for a dope shot. Thise are the types of images I want to capture but i'm not ballsy enough yet to trespass and all haha

[@emko333]

Similar Visuals um criminals? what about the people who actually get permission to do these kinds of things.

[@juanroque2925]

emko333 You make a good point. Majority of the time though permission won't be granted at all for the shots these guys capture. Have you seen the beautiful photography that can come out from the top of these roofs and bridges? It's extremely captivating. These guys are risking themselves to get unique perspectives of the city they love. They're criminals if they defaced or damaged property but that is not what they're doing. Trespassing for the sake of photography is something I find excusable and its been happening for a long time already. Instagram and social media just gave these guys a helping hand.

[@photosniffer7649]

hello adorama - which tripod has he used...? Thanks for this video...

[@daroadlesstraveled]

I've been waiting for this!!

[@diegoruizpadilla9193]

Keep them coming

[@byAngelicc]

what tripod does kostennn use

[@sk8boardislife]

What lens was used to film this?

[@Adorama]

sk8boardislife Thanks for watching! Sal used the Sony A7s + Atomos Shogun Recorder with a Sony Zeiss 24-70mm f4 and the canon 50mm 1.2 with a metabones adapter.

[@عمارالشايب-س5ت]

Adorama I guessed while watching that this sharpening of this video can't produced by Canon

[@isaacreyes8937]

Make a video of @asteryx

[@dlee13]

Do you guys take suggestions for people to feature? denn_ice would be great to feature!

[@SamThik]

anyone knows how to get that kind of photo looks ?

[@cal_vince]

+SamThik raise the black level in the tone curves and do some splittoning

[@jaredjds2011]

I'd love to see Evan Sharboneau (PhotoExtremist) on an episode! I can't seem to find him on Instagram, but he is very popular with his VERY unusual photos.

[@mynamesjeff.f]

Dope meeting him on the roof that day

[@rsevn]

So beast

[@RamonTrotman]

Homie is dope.

[@lrtone]

I know you using lightroom for editing tones,

[@AlyssaRooPew]

duh

[@rudyisales5197]

TTL with Vuhlandes would be sick

[@FachyMarin]

So much unnecesary hate in the comments. Cliché or not, his pictures are insane! Get over it.

[@d100763]

"one night I just was coming up with random words"....i love his shots I just thought the name origin was a bit strange

[@marcusholtzheimer9316]

Do vuhlandes

[@diegoruizpadilla9193]

Sick

[@snapshopped]

I watched 3 episodes. It's great, but all the pictures look like "edited" with VSCO.... Everyone tells me that you have to e so different to stand out of the crowd to succeed as a photographer. I don't see that much of a difference between those 3 I've watched. So for me it seems a bit hypocrite to talk about individualism and personality, but then using VSCO for editing and matching the same style.

[@AlyssaRooPew]

you need to have a certain eye to see the differences between some of these guys. their editing styles are similar, but the content speaks for itself. Also, if you look at kosten's stuff now, he's really stepped outside the box with his editing

[@9thero961]

This young cats nowadays talk that they know everything in photography, because they do have a thousands of followers on instagram. and their images are the same with similar presets, and i bet you out of 50 shots they only have 1 good pictures, guess what? because they are not a photographer, they are picture taker. most of my colleague doesn't have instagram but we study and have a degree in photography and respect what is photography, but anyways i am not being a hater but this is the reality, photography is way better back in the 90s and mid 20s

[@AlyssaRooPew]

9thero just because you use instagram doesn't mean you're not a photographer. Do you know anything about Kosten? Probably not. He's worked with huge brands and has been talked about by big names. Go to his website and see what's he's doing now before you start acting all ignorant. Age has nothing to do with talent or knowledge. Don't get all pissy just because young people now are more successful now than they were twenty years ago. Times are changing, so keep up.

[@9thero961]

Alyssa Roupas I don't need to keep up, I am a successful business owner of my own photography and video coverage in San Francisco, go back and watch the video, and compare the interview to other actual photographers that respect what photography is. Yeah age doesn't matter I started photography in film era and until now I have my own dark room. Unfortunately lack of knowledge and what's the root of photography in this scene nowadays they don't gaf. Haha. Dude I don't care who U are but watch all of it you'll see what I'm talking about. 😆

[@AlyssaRooPew]

9thero okay but who cares about your success? Nobody's talking about you. Why are you so mad that somebody's finding success in a way that's different than you?

[@yasinsaglam4158]

lol he said that he doesnt take cliche photos. but bro you are the same with others not new.

[@jsflm]

But he looks like all the others when you see the shots.. vsco..city.."dirty"... (not saying he is bad)

[@dimanatti]

***** Adorama can put all 11 photographers work on the wall, and people would think is the same photographer that did them all shots. Is the touch up and subject of the images that gives it that DNA of who did it. But hey all Photographers are great can't take that away from them. they supper talented/gifted.

[@jaredjds2011]

+hazesus Yeah I feel the same. Sometimes you can't can and sometimes you can. If you know that persons photos, it should be easy to see that's theirs out of several.

[@DavesRebel]

this is cliche photography tho...

[@shadowblack10]

But I don't know anyone who's photos look like his though. It's easy to identify a kostennn photo without seeing the name

[@propers8896]

dope

[@jaaytan6805]

rogowskii fam

[@claw7609]

Who has the money to afford this stuff :(

[@deltafit]

Chackobe Bryant get a job

[@lesolanhny3]

Just get a body for a camera and great lens. It's not all about the camera body, it's all about the lens :)

[@emko333]

"what i would love to use is eventually licea because i feel like that's the richest photos" wtf lol

[@OhhVince]

He said Leica

[@HFIHYHAGD]

who is watching in 2017 and cringing at how much of a meme this type of photography has become over the last 2 years

[@i.b.9903]

Oof
