Came across this blog<\/a> some time ago, and it never ceases to amaze.<\/p>\n

Yes, I know he uses some fantastic (and very expensive), kit – but it’s the \u00a3100,000 worth of talent and skill that produces these shots.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can have all the hardware in the world, and at the end of the day talentless mediocrity is all that awaits you – if you haven’t put in the time and dedication that it takes to produce art.<\/p>\n

A bit harsh?<\/p>\n

Maybe, but people often speak of talent as if it’s some ‘gift’ people were born with – which is very rarely, if ever, the case.<\/p>\n

Make no mistake, Yanidel’s images are far, far, from mediocre. They are fantastic!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I would even say, I could recognise one of his shots as if it were a creation of Cezanne or Moore. (Henry!). They have a subtlety of colour and tone, a spontaneity and vitality of life, that I would wish to replicate in my own work.<\/p>\n

Except, that I produce abstract images that are removed from, rather than immersed in, real life.<\/p>\n

Yanidel deserves further applause for not restricting you to viewing low resolution, heavily watermarked and \/ or\u00a0 cropped images. Not only is this very generous, it allows the viewer to enjoy the images almost at their best and gain some insight into the almost voyeuristic world of street photography – in detail. I say ‘almost’, because photographs change when they are printed – for me something is lost when viewing an image on-screen. Monitors just can’t convey the depth of colour, tone and texture, that is available to printed work, though with some photography they can come close. If you need convincing, then just look up Hopper’s Nighthawkes on Google and see how many colour variations you can find. Then go and see the real painting. It’s just not the same.<\/p>\n

That said, do your self a favour and nip over to his site<\/a>, to observe for yourself the very fine craft on display.<\/p>\n
