00:00 Why Photographing the Sky is Inconvenient
00:57 Background on Toshio Shibata
03:01 How to Recreate This Style
04:17 Spontaneity in Landscape Photography
05:02 Closing Thoughts - Jak na to + styl
Normally, I'd argue that not showing the sky would make an image of a landscape feel sort of claustrophobic, even slightly disorienting. But Shibata's work surprises me how... pleasant his photos can be, even without a visible sky. Thank you for introducing me to him. All the best, my friend.
Now that you said claustrophobic, the only see I think in his photos are that all of them are VERY claustrophobic to me lmao
I still felt the claustrophobia with these images.
Those photos look like shots of a ridiculously intricate model set, like the type used in early Thomas the Tank Engine episodes, with much more fidelity of course, but there's something about them that feels like they're a small incredibly realistic model you can hold in both hands
This is exactly why the thumbnail got me. I thought he was standing in front of a very big miniature set.
The "No Lands Sky" joke absolutely killed me. Thanks for bringing Toshio to my attention, I really like his work and coincidentally I was just thinking about how difficult it is to capture landscapes in a way that is unique and this gave me some ideas. I really like how you put it "he wishes to transport you to a kind of liminal space". This really clicked with me as something I aspire to do with my own photography but never had the words for it -to present a place removed from the context of it's reality.
So glad that YT AI recommend this.
Love these images by Toshio.
My own style is to look for form and shape in landscape and try to isolate them.
I gave up photography in 2015 due to a double family loss but I have finally found the urge to start photography seriously again.
This has been a timely video.
Just wanted to wish you good luck in rediscovering your photography c:
The way you put "CZcams AI" just makes me laugh, you imply this is new technology.
Algorithm isn't AI.
@@knowledge4741 Whatever makes you happy, I didn’t imply anything it’s your interpretation.
@@knowledge4741 The CZcams algorithm is an AI-powered recommendation system designed to put the best and most engaging content in front of CZcams's users. The algorithm is constantly changing to understand the preferences of each and every user.
@@knowledge4741 well though.. I pretty understand maybe you just fed-up by these AI word itself. I mean it's happening how AI fastly grow. But yes I relate that, more people use this terms in any occassion possible.
Loved this! I'm a painter but I still learned a lot from this video. Shibata's work is amazing, and it was cool to see how you applied his way of seeing into your own work.
I discovered Shibata’s work when I was a student in college. It left a deep impression on me but I didn’t ever read about him or think about his work this way. Thanks for the excellent video and sharing your great shot of the bridge and road.
This is a new name that I discovered for myself thanks to your video. Thanks! I love photography of American “new topographics” school 60-70s. And this is something from that domain. Toshio Shibata’s “constructed landscapes” remind me “Manufactured Landscapes” of Ukrainian Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky. I should try this ‘no-sky’ technic if you can call it. Great video! Thank you!
Ah, another "new topographics" fan, I see. Check Robert Adams' (not related to Ansel) images. Quite lot of skies, really.
@@anta40 Oh, yeah - I am! 😁 New Topographics fan all the way!!! Robert Adams is practically a godfather of this movement, sure I know this name as well as all other 1970s photographers. But thanks for the suggestion though! Much appreciated. Toshio Shibata was absolutely unknown to me.
His style reminds me greatly of some of the abstract shots in Koyaanisqatsi. The DP for that film seems to have had the same idea in regards to scale and structure. Beautiful work.
Good catch! There are some parallels for sure.
Thank you for introducing this photographer to me. I love that your videos are simple and informative. You don't buy into that stupid 'epic b-roll' trend.
Great video! I love that Toshio Shibata talks about spontaneous images. I think that's an inherent nature of photography, compared to say painting. It doesn't matter if an image took months of planning or a couple of seconds to spot something, you're capturing a fraction of a second of a moment that might never exist exactly the same again. That image is so beautiful it looks like the background a wall with a mural painted on it and the bridge is coming out of it. Amazing.
Shibata has a very interesting style and does it with such technical excellence.
Watched a few of your videos now - a good evening binge. Absolutely class and thank you for introducing me to different photographers!
Thank you very much for sharing Toshio Shibata's work. Seeing these sort of photos for the first time had me awestruck. Your attempt at taking a similar photo was a great one, too! Really loved the result.
Fantastic video and great inspiration 😎🙏 I did not know his work before. Glad you included excerpts of his writings too. I think your bridge shot came out quite well 👊
You have a very thoughtful approach to analysis. I have just watched three of your videos in a row, so I will say this:- it helps to have an idea of what to do before doing it, so that when that planned for occasion actually happens, you can safely throw the idea away and see what is there for what it actually is. The best photographs are always disturbing.
I'm not a landscape photographer... and found his thought on avoiding sky to be really interesting. Most of my landscaper friends love dramatic skies :D. Looking at his images on Google search, seems like Shibata San prefers man-made structures.
Incredibly straight to the point video. Wonderfully narrated. Thank you
Absolutely beautiful shot!
Fantastic. Thanks for the new exposure to incredible talent
Just found your channel. Thank you so much for all of the inspiration, just a phenomenal collection of work on your behalf. Well done.
You have evolved. This could definitely be redone the way you are doing things in your videos now, rather than just the one attempt. Another super good video that is opening me up to a different photographer that I would not have heard of, without you. Thank you.
Excellent insight! Love abstract and this idea helps! Thanks!
Really enjoying your recent videos, they are very interesting. Thanks!
I love the concept of this channel. As thought provoking and conversation starting content it’s ace.
Thank you for the introduction to Toshio Shibata. Really interesting, inspiring stuff!
Love your posts, many thanks.
I like the approach of these videos. like fresh air, down to earth. Keep it simple!
Oh my lord finally a good CZcams video about photography.
What a refreshing break from the nonsense. Well done, and I really enjoyed your photos.
Thank you for sharing Toshio Shibata's work. I find this very inspirational. He produces images I find very pleasing and something I can strive for in my own photography.
And here's a man who knew that being a 2nd rate Ansel Adams is a waste of life.
loved this video, thank you for taking the time to put this together. going to try this later today.
Good luck!
wonderful discover thanks!!
Lovely video arrangement and execution, looking forward to your future works!

Absolutely implementing this into my future work. Thank you.
Truly an astonishing work. Thank you for introducing him to us, I think I'm gonna try it myself.
Great video, very good insight without being too dense. I like how you applied what you were talking about. Nice to learn about artists like Shibata.
Good stuff. Calm delivery and great intel.

Great video! I also love your photo, it feels right at home with Shibata's work
Really interesting video, thanks for sharing! Also nice photos of that bridge! Inspiring me to go out and try some LANDscape shooting

Thanks .This was a very inspiring and beautiful upload.
I really enjoyed this video. This was such an interesting and unique topic!
Such a soothing voice!
that was amazing and confirms my feelings when I do take those common shots. It doesn't excite me as much and now I know im not alone
Excellent. Thought provoking.
I work in this area and this bridge has always fascinated me. I’ve always wondered why the metro is covered here but not over the don valley. Thanks for capturing this so well
Insightful and thought-provoking. Many thanks! :)
Really enjoyed to discover this amazing and great photographer. Thanks
Just found your channel. Loving it. Fledgling photography and just thought of cutting out the sky and then this pops up. Crazy.
Fantastic!
Thank you for the insightful overview. I feel I learned more about the sky in landscape and how it relates to me through the omissions made and the different perspective of the photographer. Great Video.
What a beautiful video man! I am impressed ❤you have earned my sub
Very interesting subject and photographer you are portraying here and the soothing speaking pace makes it a pleasant lesson to experience.
Wonderful Video, Fantastic review of photography without skys, thanks for sharing

Excellent video and photographer. Just found your channel and I'm in love with what I'm learning
Wonderful to hear, thanks!
This was a lovely made video, for a random topic I found from CZcams's algorithm, it's a darn good one!
Nice photo of the bridge.
Good words. Thank you!
👏 kudos to your creativity
I had never put this idea into words, but he explains some of my own ways of seeing where photographs might lie.
Interesting video and well done! 👏 Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for discovering this photographer
great vid ! I love to take landscapes but i've never thought about cropping the sky out to make it feel more liminal, genius ! Will definitely use this technique in the future, thanks for sharing
Super cool. Thanks! Just subscribed.
So inspirative
Excellent video !! Thank you.
This was a fantastic video essay, thank you
Brilliant, thank you!
I LOVE this. Something about it feels so dystopian, especially with concrete in the woods.
Great video, sometimes the youtube recommendations are worth watching! Thank you 👍
Thanks for introducing me Mr. Shibata´s work
That is the pure Photography !! I agree. Thank you for the video. Best regards from France.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this video . I found it very interesting and inspirational. I think his theory is quite interesting and am going to incorporate it in my own philosophy, thank you again

Thanks for watching!
Very interesting video
Good old Castle Frank Station. So funny, I used to live in the older building in the background of your shot. Instantly recognized this area and never put much thought into it. Cool perspective and great video :)
Haha awesome
I really like that way of thinking in photography, I'll give it a go, thanks for posting the video.
Love this video. Soo much information and things to learn and consider while photographing. I would love to see more such photography and photographer related videos please.
There's more on the way!
@@ImitativePhotography thank you very much. Until then I'll surf your channel for existing videos and learn. Appreciate what you are doing. 🙌🏻
