Who was Robert Frank?
Robert Frank was a Swiss-American photographer and filmmaker, born on November 9, 1924, and died on September 9, 2019. He is widely considered as one of the most important and influential photographers of the 20th century.
Frank first gained recognition for his book "The Americans," which was published in 1958. The book is a collection of photographs that Frank took during his travels across the United States in the mid-1950s. It offers a candid and often critical view of American society and culture, and is now considered a seminal work in the history of photography.

I think it's a fun exercise! You got some really good ones. And you always see YOUR style in the photos too. Next one: Henri Cartier-Bresson?

Great video...Studying those before you sets the course for finding your own style...i find it to help me think outside the box because i think, "this has been done before, what can i do different?" Great video...

I think with any art the best way to push its boundaries is to learn everything about that art. Once you have that foundation, then begin to adapt your knowledge into a truly unique style! You're doing an amazing job, keep indulging in the foundations and soon people will be studying your unique style as part of their foundational learning process!
great video 6:28 drivers are slowing down and let you take the photo, how cool is that.

Seems like typical Mexican culture. The people are very polite!
Fun fact, R.Frank took over 30k pictures while traveling across the States, and chose only 83 to publish in the Americans. So, everything is about curating your gallery.

Great perspective. I really appreciate you addressing compassionate street photography and the inherent privilege there. And also how Frank's work lives in that space. Well said.
Can't help clicking into this video even its's now 03:28 in my time zone. Your works are just fabulous.

I agree
You're totally right about recognizing privilege in photography!! It's so important to understand the power dynamics involved when we take pictures. Your comment also got me thinking about something my anthropology professor once said. They stressed the significance of not reducing people to just their poverty when we document them. It's a challenge, but we should strive to see their complete humanity and the richness of their experiences.
I’m addicted to this serie ♥️ so nice!
Those boots under the truck, that was great, keep up and thank you for your pasion.
Another great video. Frederik, I still want to see you do Gordon Parks.

As a Mexican i see that you are very respectful and sympathetic with people who are not as fortunate as you. We all are foreigners some where and is understood, you are lucky Mexicans will not belittle you or put you down but not only encourage you but support you more than just morally and that coming from a less fortunate people than you makes them wealthier and better. Keep up the good work man
I'm incredibly glad you took your family to Orinoco tacos, perfect mix between Mexican and foreign experience with great flavour. I've been binging all of your content, incredibly honest and charming. Love it.

This series is both interesting and inspiring. Love your humility and thoughtfulness about how others perceive what you are doing. Please keep doing these!
This series of videos “How to Take Photos Like...” are wonderful. Keep em’ coming.
Honestly man, your channel is incredible. The way you approach people in the street is with such respect and kindness. Your explanation on compassion in photography is on point. Thanks for all the content. It is inspiring
Brilliant. You captured his heart, soul, artistry, and compassion.
I just came across your YT and IG channels last night and I can't stop watching your vids. I identify with everything you say and do! You are an incredible inspiration. Thank you and please keep these vids coming!!!
This is great. So glad to find your work. Particularly appreciate the way you work with people, showing respect and kindness. Setting a great example - which ultimately helps protect the genre.
I absolutely love this channel. Good work Frederik
This is an amazing Series. I love the mix of history lesson with the actual practice. the addition of the shaky shots and rejections of people to have their photos taken was also nice to remind us that everyone makes those mistakes and everyone has to have a thick skin to keep doing street photography.
Love this series! It’s excellent and your photos are nothing but quality. Keep up the great work!
loving this series so far!
Fred, this serie is awesome!!! Thank you sooo muchh for sharing this with us!
Love this video and I’m excited for what’s next to come in this series!!

Wonderful, lovely Mexican Street life, love the generation ones, reminds me of home in Malta.
you're helping me a lot to go out and take some street photographs!! this video is awesome!!
I really enjoyed that episode. Great pictures! One of the best that you took 👍
Thanks for doing this series Frederik! I find it very interesting to see how you interpret another photographer's style.
You had me at “compassion without exploitation “ I subscribed ! Thanks, Rick….. 🇺🇸
Love this series Frederik! Looking forward to learn about old photographers.
Really nice episode.... please keep them coming. You are on the right track.
I'm really enjoying your videos, they give me inspiration........well done!!
As a Mexican myself I see no disrespect in what you're doing, we need more photographers to document our people and our culture with the respect and humility you take to your work. Great video series, loving this project. Cuidate y muchos saludos desde Texas!
You and Pierre Lambert are the only 2 youtubers I watch every minute of. Great content, always!
I love your videos and amazing photos! I recently started trying college and instead of looking at specified photography subjects as forced, I embraced them and used it as an opportunity to shoot out of my comfort zone. It is kind of embarrassing because all of my photos are crap, but I am gaining so much experience and humility from trying to shoot things that I never would have before. I think that forcing yourself to shoot in another photographers style is so beneficial! I might try it on my own, even though I don’t run a channel.
i love that you spoke of taking photos with compassion not exploitation. great video
Enjoying this, thanks for your hard work.
Another great exercise in photography, might try this one myself later today!
I truly enjoy your videos & photos..as well as your perspective. Inspiring. Thank you.
So much of Inspiration in one Video thank you
I saw your Vivian video, now this just subbed! Keep up the great work, very enjoyable, interesting and educational to watch. Thank you 🙏
This "how to take photos like..." series is really great. Keep them comming.
Well done! You have some solid images here, I love the theme. Keep it up!
Dude you are a good person. And thanks for showing those out of focused shots.
Great video as always! I like that you included those blurry shots and showed that not every shot is a keeper haha I would love to see you channel Diane Arbus next!
Your videos are always interesting and I enjoy your photography!
Superb video with spectacular images. Really capture the Frank feel documenting some special moments.
A treat watching you photograph my city. The way you captured Coyoacán reminds me of how I saw it while growing up and walking around there every weekend. We should all aspire to retain that curious eye as if everything was new.
I like your series of programs about how to photograph like. Good job. Thank you for sharing.

Very good, thank you. I stumbled across your channel this morning. I have been taking photos for about 50 years, more or less, and learn something new every time. I like the way you break down the elements of style. I think I will take my 2 1/4 TLR out for a walk.
I think you nailed it pretty much this time. Robert Frank suits very well your personal style, I totally see the connection!
amazing series How To Take Photos Like, thanks!
super inspirational
Terry Richardson! I know he's known for his fashion work but he does some really awesome street photography as well!
Just started watching your videos yesterday. I think your concept is brilliant photographing like the masters. It is quite inspiring and im going to try your ideas my next time out with my mirrorless camera.
I'm loving the thought you're bringing back the legacy of these great people! I hope you could do some of FAN HO's or Trent Parke! ❤ love ph
These photos are really great, you definitely became comfortable with this camera! Superb quality! Also it's nice to see more and more people recognizing you.
Frederik great genuine guy! Keep it up man. Nicely done
Love it, Frederik 🙌 So Nice to See the place we went together and the good taco restaurant. Can’t wait to visit you again 😘

This series is such a great idea and you really are a very charismatic person to present it. Also I like your photos! This is especially interesting for me since I don't really do street photography myself. I like the different approaches and that you, at least in this video, can also learn something about Mexico. =)
your spanish is great, this is the second video of yours I see, and I´m learning a lot, im new in this thing, and just decided to go a year black and white, so your videos are of great help and also beautifully made.
Great composition.
Love it, thanks
