Making Small Photo Prints
There's one more reason to make small prints, and it's close to my heart. If you've ever doubted what you're doing, seeing your work printed will grant a little faith in yourself and your images. There's something about seeing them real and tangible (even if they're small) that makes them seem more worthy of the attention you hope they'll be paid. Printing's been edifying and encouraging for me, and I'm sure it will be for you too.

What Camera When
Просмотров 3 тыс.3 месяца назад
Yo! I like cameras, but I like photographs more. In this vid I pick apart which cameras I use and when, so I can arrive at the photographs I care for. I don't think anyone needs 4 cameras to shoot a good photo. But knowing what kind of image you want to make, and the conditions in which you'll be making it, seems to me the important thing to consider when figuring out the right camera for you. ...
Photo Book Review No. 3 // Triple Seven - Anne Lass
Просмотров 5183 месяца назад
Yo! Today we're taking a look at the wonderful book Triple Seven by Danish German photographer Anne Lass. She does an outstanding job of depicting the other-worldliness of Berlin's disappearing gambling halls by focusing on their strange geometry and lush colours. I really recommend trying to pick up a copy here: www.annelass.com/triplesevenpublication It's worth taking a look at her other work...
Photographing Namgajwa - A Disappearing District
Просмотров 8944 месяца назад
Yo! I'm beginning to think I have the click of death. The first POV video I made was in an area called Euljiro. Most of what I photographed there is gone now. Then during the filming of this video, I found out (in real time) that this place is slated for redevelopment. I don't think redevelopment is a bad thing, but it's sad to see Seoul's scruffily beautiful neighbourhoods and their communitie...
My New Photo Project

Here's the newsletter 💌 I promised - substack.com/@chrisdacanha? Yo! Thinking in terms of projects instead of single images has been one of the best things for my photography. So as I get stuck into my latest project Serial Music, I'm going to share my process in the hope that it helps any of you trying to get a photo project off the ground. This project has been born out of printing a few year...

Damas Diaries #2 - Muju
Просмотров 3579 месяцев назад
Face to Face cranking on my one working speaker, cold denim keeping me warm and making me cool, and not-one-but TWO cameras slung at the ready, it's time for another SK photo roadtrip! This time my trusty Damas takes me well south to the mountains of Muju, and the loop of road circling some idyllic lake-country. For this mission I shot film with my Nikon F6 and digital with my Ricoh GR3. I hadn...
We Opened a Studio!
Просмотров 985Год назад
Yo! So I know I've been slow with uploading vids this year, but for good reason. I got married to @KelBelter and we opened a studio! It's been an exciting time for sure, but when life speeds up RUclips slows down. I hope you understand~ But now I'm back and with my very own hole in the wall, staving off mold's colonial aspirations and ready to make videos replete with concrete echoes, awkward l...
Hong Kong Street Photography - 35mm POV
Просмотров 7 тыс.Год назад
Yo! For this one I hopped an all-VLT-expenses paid trip to Hong Kong where I wore brown clothes, ripped the mic and reeled in some top-notch investments (all true). I also shot street photos! I had a day and like 9 rolls of film which I'd carried in my little backpack along with my audio recorder and low-brimmed cap and I filmed some "street-style photography" for everyone to see. I'm sorry it ...
How to Work in Korea (As a Photographer)
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.Год назад
Acting! Visual metaphors! All this and more in my latest video on the ins and outs of visas and workplaces in South Korea. For this one I hope to provide a bit of intel on just what it takes to work in Korea (as a photographer) and how you can do it too. It took me a long time to figure it out myself, so hopefully this can expedite your efforts. Thank you to all the friends I called on for help...
Silent Film - One Roll of 35mm in Mullae
Просмотров 337Год назад
Yo! For a challenge I decided to shoot POV street photography in Seoul's factory neighbourhood of Mullae. The kicker? I set a limit of 36 shots! With just one roll of film and minimal gear I headed into the manliest part of the city, only to have my own manhood enter the discussion. I had a lot of fun with this one on a beautiful Fall day, I hope you enjoy it! You can see the results of this ph...
Photo Book Review No. 2 // For the Aliens - Leo Berne
Просмотров 4922 года назад
Time to crack a spine! For this photo book review I go through Leo Berne's wonderful For the Aliens. The book does a great job of arranging a variety of images under a simple theme, elevating their impact. RUclips stardom certainly does not lurk behind photo book reviews, I do them as a way to prepare myself for when I begin to make my own books. I hope the steepness of my learning curve can he...
Damas Diaries #1 - A Korean Photo Road Trip
Просмотров 4912 года назад
Sunnies on, windows down, Millencolin on the stereo; everything's just right to go road trippin'! For this one I head south in my little half loaf slinging a Nikon F6 and four rolls of Kodak Ultramax. Happy to shoot what I find along the way, I end up in some abandoned houses, a farming village and a gas station that got the better of me. You can see a selection of the images from this trip (pl...
Seoul Street Photography POV - Daerim
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.2 года назад
Sun's out, sky's blue, it's spring in Seoul and time to shoot some street photography. For this mission we head to Daerim, a bustling little neighbourhood south of the river with a hodge podge of markets, factories and high-rises. *My Korean is not super good. I've done my best with the translations in the captions, but if you notice anything egregious, please let me know and I'll be sure to ad...

Being a Photographer in South Korea
wonderful vid! thank you for the effort and sharing. BIG thumbs up for a small idea!!!
I have a Canon PRO 1 A3+ printer and a Canon Selphy CP-1300. They’re both marvellous. Nice printing skillz my man guy dude!
You made me wanna go out to 을지로. Enjoyed your wonderful photos. Thank you :)
Getting ready to participate in my 2nd photo fair, and definitely love doing this as well! Seing pairs or triptychs come to life when combining them and finding the right pairing is a beautiful moment. Great video, new sub here :)
Oh I didnt see any triptychs here where were they?
You know a triptych is 3 images together right? The clues in the name, “triptych”, “tri” being the latin for three….
@@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse Yup, I am clear that "tri" means three. Though a triptych does not appear in the video, my comment referred to how seeing pairs or 3 pictures combined together is a beautiful thing.
@@luz.aicardi 🙏🏾
LoVe new genarations skate punk, super humilde, super, creativity, sharing and talented hardworker and great dyrti Work!!
Thank you!~
Ace! Subbed. ❤
Just bought the Canon SELPHY CP1300 for the purpose of printing my pictures and have a sense accomplishment.
I'm sure you'll love it:-)
😍😍😍😍😍
I agree with everything you discussed about small prints. I use a canon Selphy printer I found in a thrift store and it makes 4x6 postcards. Very satisfying and it really gives you a sense of what's good and what you like vs. the not so good. It's very affordable as well, 10 cents per print.
Great thrift store find! I'm glad the small prints are serving you well~
Great video, great work, useful and fun. Thank you!
I Bought a Canon Selphy 1500 4x6 Dye-Sub Printer and I Love It. Wonderful Prints.
Super cool little machine
I live in Hong Kong 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Love that city
Yep I print 5 x 7 or 6 x 6 or smaller.
Daewoo damas! That's nice😅 where did you get it?
Such a rad little van. Got it 2nd hand here in Seoul!
Just like the old days of film. Drop your film at the lab and get 4x6 inch or 5x7 inch prints of each frame on the roll. You could order a second set for a tad bit more money.
What kind paper do you use for your photo?
All the papers are in my description:-)
Thank you so much :D
Wowww being able to speak the language gets you so far! I'm going to Korea in a week so I probably should learn a little😅
It helps, and getting to a basic level isn't too tough:-)
I’m going to try that.
Amazing work, the way you interact and talk with people before photographing them really makes a difference. I can't imagine getting access to personal locations like this. I'm planning a visit to Korea later this year but don't speak the language, do you think most people in public spaces would speak out against having their photo taken? I'm used to being discreet if I can get away with it but also want to avoid stepping out of line with the culture if possible
Thank you! I recommend just being friendly and open about taking pictures. If anyone is bothered it’s usually best to respect that and focus more on those receptive to it. It’s also worth speaking to people in English! You’ll be surprised by how friendly and engaging people can be:-)
you got me! I find it very inspiring, but also love this video form you share here :) all the best!
Was very inspired by this video Chris :) For me, I find myself avoiding bothering people while I take photos, sort of afraid of the interaction that could ensue. But watching you comfortably navigate Namgajwa and speak to the people that live there and learn a little about their story felt amazing to watch. Looking forward to more :)
Thank you so much:-) A lot of people are happy to chat given the chance~
Also, for the same space of 1 a2 you get roughly 16 a6 (10x15), so you get much more expression imo
Your video pacing is really good, love it
10х15 is like the standard for photos, especially for albums here in russia
A video that seem simple and clean yet knowing the effort behind the whole production! 🔥🔥 awesome production! Love it so much
I enjoyed the video. I think it is very nice to be able to take the pictures into your hands instead of just looking at large formats at a wall.
Amazingly well made video my dude
Love the wall👏👏👏
Nice Relaxing video ! Quick question: how did you connect the Video Camera to your photo camera ?
Cheers! I just used 3 elastic bands and sat the video camera on top of my film camera. Simple but effective!
@@chrisdacanha lol thanks! :D what video camera do you use?
@@georghartmann6971 It's an Osmo Action~
사람들과 자연스럽게 대화 하는 게 대단하네요!
This video is so well made! Love the concept and your storytelling is exceptional. Fellow saffa? 🇿🇦
Cheers! Ha yeah, Durban born and bred!
Love your channel
다마스????
다마스!
Superb production, a breath of fresh air in the photography YT space :) An inspiring message to boot!
What an opening shot! And the humour woven in throughout is great, awesome vid!
Loved your intro! subbed
only a few min into the video and I love the vibes and production quality you got going on here! Such great creativity breaking up what a typical YT video is. I'm a fan!
Your editing in this video was way too good for someone with under 2k subs. Keep it up
this is what i was thinking to post damn it !
what month is this?
is your camera hooked to your chest?
dust off your lens
What a great video. I don’t want to sound like i’m exaggerating, but this really really resonates with me. What you could have said in a minutes time was now said in a sentence and a visual. Amazing.
Thank you, I'm really happy to hear it connected.
I’m curious to know what you do with all those pictures. I saw that you have a wall covered with them but I’ve been having trouble deciding where to put mine. Do you have any suggestions for storage or how to display them? I keep them in a journal but in the end the journal ends up falling apart from the amount of pictures I put in them, specially because I use hahnemuhle photo rag 308 paper.
I'm keeping my prints stacked up for now. I use them when making pairs for the project I'm working on, and I like handing the stack to anyone interested who visits the studio. I'll likely slip some of them into the booklets I'm making when I start selling those as a little extra:-) For storage I recommend just a dry, dark space. I put some silica gel packets in my cabinet to deal with the humidity. For display, I'd sooner choose just a few of them and have them decently framed with a bigger mat. There's something special about a small print in a quality frame.
Such a cool intro!
Same, 4x6 is perfect for me. You can hoard so many of them lol. Im a painter primarily and my painting were usually 4 feet by 8 feet and tripled sometimes to 12'x8'. Naturally I ran out of space lol. With my photography its so satisfying to print anything I want and not have to worry about space.
Taking space out of the equation can really encourage making new work too~
Awesome video!
eating ramen for everyday meal = i'm broke is typical korean expression lol😂 besides that, that shin ramen is the best ramen indeed.
Great insights and a pretty entertaining video :)
This was awesome ☺️ I really need to print my photos more
this just popped up in my recommended. new sub. keep up the great videos!
