All language subtitles for Episode 142º Patreon Photos I would not take again

Hello friends, how are you?

How are things going?

We started the month, we started March.

For us, this month is full of interesting

things.

We have a workshop in London, another in

Italy at the end of the month, but

in the meantime we have a couple of

weddings that we are really looking forward to

because they are going to be done for

sure or the grooms are already with that

intention.

The virus, even if it is, it seems

that we are forgetting little by little about

it.

Who knows what is going to happen with

all this?

But hey, Patreon continues and we continue creating

videos and hoping to create a little interesting

videos.

In today's video I want to tell you

something or I want to give it a

more human touch, more fun, so that, well,

so that you laugh mainly at me, right?

In other words, this video is designed for

that.

And well, if someone also wants to think

about this today, because it also has a

background a little interesting to think about that,

then great, right?

Well, let's unveil it and I'm going to

say why I want to talk, right?

After all, it is what interests you, right?

I suppose that all photographers throughout our career

have moments of highs and moments of lows,

moments that we would love to repeat constantly

and other moments or other photos, I mean,

that sometimes we think, damn, why did I

do that?

Why did I take a photo like that?

Well, today's video is about that.

I want to show you some of those

photos, especially photos that were taken about 10

years ago, okay?

I mean, they already have a history, but

I would like to share with you that

type of photos that I took and that

I would not do again now, right?

And I will explain a little why I

would not do them again, maybe, right?

That's why this video goes there or goes

there, okay?

The first photo that I want to share

with you is this one.

Why would I not take it again?

I mean, the preparations for the bride right

now, I prefer to focus more on what

happens and capture it as it happens.

I mean, that act of forcing the girl

to do that, simulating, I don't know, a

gesture, forcing a gesture that has not happened

as it was, I don't know, right now,

maybe I would not force that again, okay?

It does not mean that I will not

do it, or that I will not do

it in the future, who knows, right?

But today, I mean, if it doesn't happen,

it doesn't happen, but I'm not going to

force that by pretending something that didn't happen,

okay?

The next photo is one of my most

famous or best known photos, and today I

would not do it again.

And what's more, when a girlfriend has asked

me, hey, I want you to take a

picture of me with the lacquer, I laugh

like this, with a false smile, like thinking,

no, no, you too, my son, no, no,

no, no, I mean, I try to, that

already happened, I was inspired by an American

photographer whom I admire very much, I was

inspired by his photo and later I took

it to my field and did this, later

everything went wrong, right?

And not only in Spain, a multitude of

colleagues did similar things, also outside of Spain,

Europe, well, all over the world, right?

I mean, that was already like a copycat

and I already tried to move away from

all of that, right?

I mean, I want to make something very

clear, okay?

If you have never done it, even if

I say that I am not going to

do it, you should do it, if you

feel like it.

I mean, all photographers continue, we need to

continue a career, we need to explore, experiment,

try, make mistakes, stop making them.

I mean, I don't want to tell you

that I, even if I don't say that

I'm not going to do it, or that

at the moment, it doesn't mean that you

don't have to do it.

I would recommend that if you feel like

it, do it, that it is, after all,

that, right?

I mean, no one thinks that this is

a video to sit in a chair or

to tell anyone, much less, what they have

to do or not to do, okay?

There was a time when, I suppose, letting

myself be carried away by what other colleagues

did, I also thought I had to do

it.

I'm talking about this photo, right?

I mean, there was a time when the

boyfriends went to the shower, the girlfriend went

to the shower and I went with her.

And I said, wow, that photo, right?

Of putting a flower behind the stream of

water, capturing that, well, there came a time

when I did it, I thought it was

very interesting, sexy, I don't know, all those

things that we get into our heads, I

mean, clichés that we get into our heads

and that, well, not today.

In fact, at the last wedding, the boyfriend

was in the shower and I said, when

you are already dressed, or when you have

the underwear on or the towel, you let

me know and if you feel like it,

I'll go in.

And the boyfriend didn't even let me know,

so I already understood that he didn't even

want me to be there.

Therefore, that's it, they are things that I

would not do again, nor would I finish

a post-wedding session making the girlfriend put

on the veil and take off her clothes

and make this movie or this photo cliché

so many times seen or repeated, right?

As neither, to this day, would my head

be measured so much, because I think it

was quite my head at that moment when

I literally kidnapped the bride from the party,

I took her in the wedding car, we

took her to a field and we took

this photo.

That is, to this day, I think I

would not have the balls that I had

in the past to take a bride to

the party for almost 30 minutes and just

for the mere pleasure of taking a photo

like this.

I don't just think I wouldn't have the

balls to do what I did, but I

wouldn't do this type of image either, mainly

because I don't know what the meaning of

it is.

Okay, putting four flashes seems like a very

perfect galactic photo, but what is the background?

Putting four flashes, I mean, it's not that

I don't like the image, but I find

it lacking in meaning, right?

How to do this, right?

I don't think I would be able to

do this photograph either, because it is part

of those clichés that we carry on our

backs and that we supposedly have to do

to become a wedding photographer.

It is a time that I did it,

and not only once, but I also did

it here.

I mean, in this photo, right?

To get to do this.

Be careful, I'm not saying that you don't

have to do it, and that if you

want to do it, do it.

After all, as I have already said, you

have to explore, you have to try, you

have to make mistakes, and you have to

stop making them, or whatever, but today I

think my head was going so much that

I don't know, my head was also going

so much that I don't know.

It doesn't mean that at tomorrow's wedding I

won't do it, or at the wedding the

next weekend I won't be able to do

it.

Well, if my head is going, then I'll

do it.

But to date, I don't think so.

I don't think I would go for those

deadlines to get into such a small road

with a car next to the grooms to

do the acting, mainly I do not mean

action but I mean to force the motorcycle

so much that the bride comes out of

a window screaming I do not know it

is no longer part of my philosophy or

my acting I do not prefer to focus

on another type of photography something more personal

something more my own something more mine and

not a photo almost sometimes thought to surprise

or to take me a prize I do

not know maybe I would not get to

that as I would not make an image

like that to be careful I do not

mean that I will not do it at

the next wedding this is not what I

mean to what I want to get to

what I want to transmit not that I

do not want it to become a photo

again or in something already as a mechanic

that you have to do yes or yes

that is to say when I did this

type of images first I let myself be

carried away by the industry by the industry

I mean by what by great photographers that

I do not want to mention because nobody

takes this out of you but they used

to always place the iphone underneath stars reflections

that is to say I know companions who

do it very well and they are fucking

great but I mean this is not me

I disguised myself as other photographers to become

or want to understand that I was also

part of the photographic industry, that is, it

is not personal, it is not me, I

may do it again, well, obviously, if I

have the possibility, but what I am not

going to force is to do it in

a way a wedding like this another wedding

also to the next wedding also to the

next to say no because in the end

my head explodes and I get bored and

I do not remember that there was a

time in which this pattern, this formula, was

extrapolated to each wedding, that is, putting a

color flare, a gel, a story, that is,

that was already part of each wedding and

that is why I got bored, look at

the wedding of the photo, this one that

I am talking about, the one that I

have described on that same farm five years

later, I took this photo, that is, I

want to go to something more personal, not

having as a way of working with a

set of patterns that you have to take

to each wedding, regardless of whether it is

a farm or whether it is a couple,

they are different, that is to say, what

was always part of all weddings like this

photograph or like this or even this means,

you see how I am changing the location

but I am following the same pattern, it

is the same that the couple is called

Pepito and Pepita or the location is in

the Basque country, that is, in the north

of Spain, as in the south, as in

Barcelona, that of each location I end up

doing the same result and that is not

that in the end because it is already

in the air, not how to look at

it if it ended up going to my

head or I want to say doing so

many crazy things that I even got to

do this, I mean a night photography at

that time I had a hobby that was

to do or photograph, well, to do panoramics

or to do night photography without couples, I

mean, I took that to the wedding photography

and even in one of the weddings I

got to do that, that is, a couple

united with what it was for the night

photography and well, not right now, gentlemen, right

now, I mean, I'm going to focus on

the party, I'm going to get the most

out of it, but I'm not going to

steal that crucial time from the grooms, so

that as the last photo that I would

not do today and be sure that there

may be people who do not understand it,

but I am going to explain why not

this photograph may not do it knowing that

many colleagues met me because thanks to her

a documentary was made of my photograph of

me or my work as we want to

understand it in a television program thanks to

this image I mean to see I am

not going to say of this water I

will not drink I am not going to

throw shit on an image that has given

me so many fruits or so many interesting

things but I mean now I would not

go to a field or a field full

of vultures unless next to the wedding hacienda

there was this I mean or next to

the church there would be but now forcing

the bike so much to choose a couple

to go to an exclusive place to go

to take that photo almost bet although that

is not going to do it right now

but as I have told you first never

say that of this water I will not

drink I am talking about the moment that

I find myself now with the way of

thinking that I find myself now in five

years it may make something different and what

now seems beautiful to me in five years

I say why I did this because five

years ago I played with hard light and

because in the future I do not want

to say the images that I have shown

you are 10 8 years old with which

it is normal for a photographer to go

I do not know if evolving but trying

some things in the end getting tired of

others and reaching for others at the end

of the day the path of a photographer

and the beautiful thing about all this is

to explore not try to be wrong as

I have said so many times but no

one is wrong thinking that this video is

thinking no, it is that Victor is saying

that that should not be done, no, that

should not be done, that I even invite

you to do it and if you like

it, you stay with that, but in my

case, well, they were sections, points of my

career that, well, if they were involved there,

that perhaps I got carried away too much

by what other people did and I thought

that to be a wedding photographer I had

to do that, well, I think that to

understand the photographer that I am now, you

have to also understand the photographs that I

made then and why I stopped doing them

and why I also did them or I

started to do them so that the chapter

of today is because I did not do

this or because I would not do these

photos obviously the next chapter will be because

if I continue taking those photos that I

took ten years ago, so for now laugh

at me for a few moments for these

photos and see if the following ones continue

to surprise you, take care friends until next

time and be good
