Paul. In my feed of photographers I follow you are standing out. Why? Because you come from deep in the heart, you’re very organic, simple, and uninfluenced by commercialism. You’re not about chasing gear, sponsorships, and ad revenue. Of course I understand that makes things difficult financially breaking from the heard, and that respect I admire you and you’re work. Keep it up brother. Keep it coming from the heart. Bravo
Thanks man appreciate it!
What happened to you? We all miss you. One of the best photography channels on you tube.
Hey Paul - it's so cool, the way you take us for the journey, we watch you scout and then take the image. Then you offer it as a unique one-off print. I can't think of any other RUclipsrs who do that. Great stuff!
Thanks mate!
You are a wonderful story teller; I love the narratives because they are the "truth" and they come from the heart. Thank you for a great video...again!
Thank you Bah!
This series of videos has been very enjoyable and inspiring. Especially as a reminder to be true to oneself. Very beautiful images.
Thank you Wendy
Thanks for the introduction to Ans Westra , my fav image in this video is drums and the webs in the window , excellent work. Thomas Heaton i :) think your more like Aows ( Adrian) or James Popsys
Thanks Christine
Paul your photography is raw in the true sense, not contrived.
That's why I've been collecting your books 📷👍
Cheers Eltin appreciate your support
👍Thanks Paul, cool images in making something out of a scene that most would just dismiss.
Cheers Yorkie
Taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary is a gift and talent many photographers and artists would love to have. So often we overlook a simple object, only to find that it has a story to tell. You have the very happy knack of seeing the ordinary in a different light, well done as always. By pure happenstance we have an old milking shed approx. thirty meters from the back of our house, built in the 1940's it now been enclosed and doing duty as storage shed for timber off the farm here, but it looked exactly the same as the shed in your images, so now I have to go and take some photos of it 😁 Cant wait to see what you come up with next.
Thanks Ralph! Finally know your real name now.
I think you are one of its best photographers. Please keep making videos. You talk about things in very simple language.

WOW!!! Paul is really great at taking photos of the life.
Interesting video
Another wonderful vlog as always, I love your simplistic approach to photography & the beauty you see in everyday life.
Thanks for sharing Paul. Enjoy your work and your ability to story tell. Thanks for sharing about Ans Westra omg! Her work is amazing.
Thanks Cesar yea she is incredible.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Paul! I love making RUclips landscape photography videos, but it is a lot of work!
You got some beautiful shots here too!
Thank you
I am glad that you decided not to be like a lot of other Y.T photographers on the British Y.T scene. This is a much more honest to photography, path.
Great Paul 👍
I may not know a lot; and I may not be sure of what I think I know. But more than anything I know philosophy when I see it in a photograph. Good job, great work.
Thank you David, really appreciate it!
Lovely honest video ... very inspiring .. thank you
Thanks Tim
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience in this video. It had helped answered some similar questions in my mind. 😊.
Great Video Paul, It always inspires me how you get wonderful images of NZ 02:01 Ans Westra, had and influence on you like Andris Apse affected me! congratulations on finding your mode, which is not the Thomas Heaton of NZ, to be honest we have a better canvas! but not as many followers ! That walk thru is great!, my F=dad used to milk in a more modern shed and that was in the 60s
Thanks Tony more sheds to come
Another cracking episode with more fantastic images (“must not look at print shop again!”). Hit rate through the roof lately.
Cheers Tony will block you from the shop lol
@@PaulCSmithPhotographer I think he needs to!
@@kronkite1530 Sorry mate I meant you haha
I love how you photograph subjects which I wouldn't even look twice at. It proves once again that there are images to be had EVERYWHERE. Good on ya mate👍
Thanks Tim
Awesome video Paul, thank you for sharing your passion on YT. I'm happy your not another Thomas Heaton hahahahaha. Love Thomas but one is enough. Love your vibe and your thinking about showing your work. I'm also working on it for the past 3 years, not an easy road it's hard work and does not always pay off. Well done mate.
Thanks Bernard, keep at it!
Paul on fairness you’re very inspirational. I’m following your advice and going for it, all be it in Ireland !!! Fab photos as always.
Thanks Colin, looking forward to seeing more of your content
I’ve observed you for a number of years now and you have labeled yourself incorrectly. You have a gift far greater than creating photos. You are a story teller from the heart. Thanks for the introduction of Ans Westra, I’ll check her out. Thanks mate.
Thankyou enjoy Ans
@@PaulCSmithPhotographer Ans’s images are important slices of NZ history. I can imagine how you felt when she contacted you. What an honour. When/if we get back to NZ on our next campervan journey, stopping at the gallery will be a priority.
Hey Paul. Cool video as always. How about a video about your photographic influences? A chat about the reason you are using the gear you use and what you would like to do/use in the future. Cheers
Hi Richard good questions mate! Stay tuned
Good ole m8
PS "traveling NZ and just taking photos" ... hire out a double decker bus, start north and drive south and get a heap of us to sign on. Now there's a fun business idea for you!
I've always associated your work with greens and blues. Subject matter. Colour grading. Dunno. Fascinating to see where you crop as well, what you leave out of a picture. I guess back in the day your exposure would have consisted of a couple of prints on the shelf of your local dairy. Now you're global. Cool 👌
Yea or selling prints at the local market. Makes the achievements of Ans and the like even more inspiring. Thake care!
Brilliant Paul as always. nice work re Ans I have one of her books incredible talent. Funnily enough my next wee vid is an intro to another incredible kiwi shooter you’ll definitely know his work. You tube for me started as a distraction from a marriage break up needed to throw myself into something I enjoyed strange thing is 4 or 5 years on it’s become a bit of an obsession so in a way I’m happy my ex Got shut of me every cloud and that 😂😂 I recall the first vid of yours I watched it hit me how authentic your work was I blame you for inspiring me to get back into film photography and for me that’s the power of RUclips I’m never gonna go viral but if I inspire one person like you inspired me then I’ll take that everyday.
Paul thanks mate and everything you said is so true. I love watching what you do it too is unique. Well done for what you have achieved I truly respect you! Take care mate MOT!!
@@PaulCSmithPhotographer ta mate MOT 💙💛💙💛💙
Paul always enjoy your videos. I'm just curious haven't seen your canine
In your videos. I hope he's still around. ❓
He's well, every time I take him out to shoot a video he buggers off on me, so now he's banned. Will try and get him out for another staring role soon.
Thomas who????? nah he wishes he was you mate 😂😂😂
Thanks Alan glad I followed the other road, take care mate!
worst thing about making RUclips videos is talking to a camera/phone or whatever....dunno about you but I feel like an absolute plonker!...just can't even do it if there's anyone around...😕 You're braver than me ..
I love talking to cameras it's the one thing that will listen to me
You’ve got a great channel here mate. Honest, down to earth and no nonsense content. You and Marcus Lloyd are the ones I’ve been watching closely with regards to Leica. I’ve just become the owner on a Leica M9, albeit one with the sensor issue, not too terrible I might add. Still, it’s a start and I got it a great price. I’ve started a new Instagram account to post my work from my new camera and document my journey with it. Keep up the great work @myleicaodyssey
Thanks Derren, good luck with the Leica!
