I had the privileged of working for Koto for over 5 years,I used to do his contact sheets as well his fine art prints from time to time.

he showed me a whole new way of looking at things.

Wow that’s weird, the whole time I thought he was talking about the model. hmmmmm. She seemed great.
Anywho…I enjoy eloquent people, confident in every word they say and not scared to play around. That’s probably why he got to where is more then another photographer who is just as good. Personality goes a long way.

Pretentious? If you think this video is pretentious, don’t watch any other fashion BTS. This is about a 1 on the pretentious scale, Mario Testino summarizing his “busy schedule” is like a 10. This guy was nice! Also I liked how they talked about the art direction of the shoot. You don’t see stuff like that too often. I thought this was golden!

It was obvious that he raved about the fashion stylist Christiane but I would have given equal kudos to the model Elena Sudakova. It was her posing abilities, energy, and expression that gave the images and the fashion life.

I think your own inability to let go and freely express yourself is manifesting itself in your perception of others. Sad, that.

@colorspace:disqus I understand what they’re trying to say and i mostly agree with the whole ‘play is good’ message, but it all seems so incredibly contrived and faked in the video… i guess it just gets under my skin.

Precisely what I was saying, for them that may be spontaneous. It is spontaneous but only to a degree. I guess I just like being in situations very far away from what I know. Thats when I create the pictures I like because I haven’t seen them run across my screen a hundred times before. No minimum amount of time, just something different.

Does spontaneity require a minimum amount of time? I think what he meant was they had the background elements and the outfits but overall they weren’t sure where they were going. If you bounce fresh ideas around with a team 40 mins before shooting, does that not still make it spontaneous?
