Please excuse the spelling error in the title card- it should be Eric Meola, Eirc Menola!

I have been confronted many times by photographers who say that an image has to stand on its own, words get in the way. So wonderful to see examples that show how words and images are great partners.

I so appreciate you talking about images, ideas, feelings. I'm tired of listening about cameras, techniques and AI.

Sometimes photography is like a memory of smell, warmth or a late afternoon, I actually feel it, can be colour or black and white but it is like a memory.Great show, thanks

We’re usually told that our picture should “tell a story”to be most effective. Yet, many of this gentlemen’s picture are very good they are taken to the next level and only tell a story (to me) when I am read the actual narrative about how he felt. Taking a decent picture is nice; being able to share your feelings (effectively) on why you took the picture is yet another skill that can take your picture to the next level.

I saw this video a few months ago and purchased this book on Amazon that same day thanks to your video. I’m currently reading through the book, studying each image.

Another top video…thanks for introducing me to the inspiring photography of Eric Meola!

Stunning photographs complete with a stunning narrative. Makes the whole experience of the photography so much more complete.

I love the verbal narrative from the photographer. I've always resisted the concept of an image "telling a story". Imo that's a vacuous comment because a picture evokes a visual reaction and triggers emotion, rather than telling a story. Deep understanding of the intentionality of the artist and details of the subject needs words.

This was really nice. I see so many videos of people rating good lenses, and so few of people of putting efford into taking good photos. I also really like the particular attention people have in their images. Thank you, Thank you. Thanks, this was just really nice.

Thank you for showcasing this. He is clearly as good a poet as he is a photographer.
Your videos are always inspiring and educational

That in colour or photograph just resonated with me with so much power. It's been a huge mindshift change in just the couple of weeks since this video appeared in my feed. I've probably photographed 80%+ of my work recently in B&W but this has made me totally reappraise how I view many scenes, and resulted in some colour images I'm really pleased with recently. Looking forward to more. Thanks

[davidpearson]

Your channel and specifically videos like these are costing me money. After you profile these great photographers, my collection of books increases while my bank account balance decreases. 😂😂

Eric Meola was a constant in the mags during the 80's, loved his work influenced me greatly, so simple yet full, and all on 'film'

[liamoshea]

Eric's words are as artistic as his photographs. Brilliant.

I am once again confirmed in always shooting in RAW mode and even when I am in MC mode (NIKON for monochrome) for architecture, especially construction sites, I always have the option to explore some pics in color afterwards. People who shoot only in BW really don't know what they are missing. So the expensive Leica Monochrome would NEVER be a choice for me. Thanks for refreshing Meola and Turner here. I know them since mid-70s.

[tornenzen]

The images and comments from books made for a powerful experience. Thanks for introducing more photographers to enjoy. I took a lot of screenshots of Eric Meola's pictures to enjoy later on my phone. Huge thanks for this outstanding video.

This is photography Gold people Watch it twice and “feel”………

[blonko]

Another great contribution to your video library, Alex. Be well, and my God bless you.

[malaranu]

I so enjoy listening to you. I feel your respect & awe as you convey your delight in the images you show case. I am learning from you how to look at an image. Thank you.
