Nostalgia is an incredibly powerful feeling that often guides the way we express ourselves through our work. But the effect it has isn't always good, and it is important to be aware of how it can change your images in very tangible ways. This interesting video dives deep into the phenomenon and examines how it can impact your own photos.
Coming to you from Jamie Windsor, this fascinating video examines the phenomenon of nostalgia and how it can affect your photography. It might seem like a tenuous connection on the surface of things, but nostalgia is deeply tied to cultural and stylistic trends, something that you can see in things like the resurgence of film and the popularity of Instagram filters. As Windsor details, it's not inherently bad to play into these trends; in fact, doing so may evoke pleasant feelings, but in a sense, you are playing it safe by tapping into something that has already been established as successful, and this in turn can guide your own creative impulses in the future and discourage you from experimenting and finding your own unique voice. It's a subtle phenomenon, but it's also something that can have a big impact on the development of your style. Check out the video above for Windsor's full thoughts.
It would be nice if you could acknowledge the photographer's name, who made the video, in the headline given they do all the work for these "I found a video on YouTube" pieces.
Jamie is producing some top notch content. From his original tag line that gets people clicking it to taking for a spin with his incredible narrative. Backed up by external references and examples of his own work which are stunning.
I find it frustrating to come to fstoppers waiting for an interesting article only to find th video I watched 5 minutes ago on YouTube.
And why is the author of the article always somebody else?
It seems like clickbaiting.
