Saul Leiter and Ernst Haas Videos

[peterm1]

I ran across these videos by a South African photographer on Saul Leiter and Ernst Haas. They may have been posted here before but I personally have not seen them. As I am an ardent admirer of Leiter (and now, having seen this, Hass) I thoroughly enjoyed them. I hope others will too. They provide some object lessons in color street photography.

Half way through the second one. Well, worth it.

Again thanks Peter.

Thanks Peter, I’ve watched both. Excellent analysis of some of the most enjoyable photos from two of my favourite photographers.

You were probably too busy, out photographing stuff.

I feel compelled also to mention Fred Herzog who in my opinion is deserving of being mentioned in the company of Haas and Leiter. Though his style is different to both (he tended not to use movement, blurs and reflections quite so much) it certainly captures some lovely colored scenes from a similar era. All made great use of Kodachrome's wonderful rendering or colors - especially reds, greens and yellows.

All of which reminds me to try something we may have forgotten - the use of slower ISO's and smaller apertures to enforce movement in subjects and using this as a part of the composition. I do not do enough of this and really miust.
