not only a master photographer, but also so articulate! He's one of my favorite photographers to listen to speak about their craft

There's an episode in Season 1 of On The Roam that follows Todd out shooting and editing, well worth a look.

Nicely done and a reminder to print your work. For those annoyed by the Leica product promotion: you do realize that Camera West and Made in Wetzlar are exactly that, a promotional mechanism for Leica products. You'd have to be naive not to realize that and it doesn't change the quality of what Todd is saying in anyway. Take the messages from him and ignore the product placement if you wish!. Do you freak out every time you see an Omega watch in a Bond film?

always been one of my favorite photographers, this somehow passed me by, enjoyed a lot!

I had the chance to meet Todd at a book signing in LA earlier this year - he is such a wonderful, gracious person. Which makes his work all the more special. Truly one of a kind

I love his practicality. Yeah, do it all in post. Put them on products. Print them.

The start with Todd talking about his work was fascinating. Switched off when it became a camera advert, but will try and find other videos with him talking about his art.

This video was so thoughtful, inspiring and informative to watch. Great upload!

He said 10% of his pictures are good. My God.. if only. I'm lucky if .000000001% are good. I'm lucky if I've ever taken a truly good picture.

Great photographer

More revealing than some photographers who obscure what they do. He’s been at it nearly 40 years which seems to a key factor in photographic success.

Please! We need artists like this dude to make YouTube videos or at least someone else making yt videos for him. I didn't learn anything new but I was shown a real good photographer with a great mindset w work to back it up
