    This should be titled "trends in eurocentric photography." No mention of asian photographers like Araki, Raghu Rai or any other persons of color. Hate to sound like that guy but art and especially photography is subjective to a person's life experience.Growing up in an ethnically diverse environment, I can't even begin to relate to some of these boring sterile images …just my 2 cents

    Really great presentation, it was interesting and covered so much so clearly, with the added benefit of food for thought. Thank you.

    It is great to learn about the history behind these trends and see how some concepts have evolved.

    I really enojoyed this presentation, I think Eileen is a very comprehensible tutor, I understood everything and english is not even my native language! I discovered these presentations just a few days ago and it's the third I'm watching from her. I would love to see more of her, I really wish I could be in New York to watch some of your classes! Thank you for sharing!

    Not very interesting. Was expecting photography.

    I just discovered the Rafferty B&H presentations, this week, and am having a glorious time watching them. Photography is such a young artistic medium. The ink is barely dry on the preface to its history and yet the medium already enjoys a fairly deep and diverse history. I wonder where Rafferty would place HDR photography within the history of artistic movements. It's roots go back to the early years of the medium. Is it constructed reality? Impressionistic? Street? Snapshot aesthetic? I see influences from several genres in contemporary HDR but would lean towards placing it within the constructed reality movement.

    Your title is misleading. Perhaps "Peripheral Craftspeople"?

    i feel sad for kodak.Russian Zenit camera had been released in 1952 and it was already a "rip off" from Zorki camera that was made in 1949. Zenit is still usable worldwide even now.And Helios 40-2 is still one of the greatest prime lens in the world.Go Russia!And yea,great video,thanks 🙂

    Nice presentation, cool to learn some history, and some inspiring images too, Thank you.

    ps. why such an emphasis on women's works?

    Uelsmann to me is like Adams to the Zone System & The Landscape 🙂

    this is what Jerry Ghionis talked about when he said " if u cant make a great photo take a bad one apply a couple filters to it and call it art"

    Excellent as her last talk at B&H I saw on Youtube. Wanna definitely see more of her, because she is able to structure and categorise trends and movements in a very intuitive way.

    Very interesting presentation and something a bit different than the usual, thank goodness. One tip for most B&H  presenters, if I may: There is no need to repeatedly ask "Right?" or "OK?" during the presentation. It adds nothing and becomes irritating and distracting after a very short time. And we won't even mention "You know?"

    (And yes, we all know what videos are. Thanks for asking, right?)

    Bit disappointing, more a show and tell by one persons oppinion. I personally didn't learn anything today, except I wasted time watching it 🙂 if your into photographic history, you'll like it. Never the less I appreciate B&H Shows very much, thank you. Just not this one, lol.
