    In this video I share some thoughts on how to define your own style in your photography: from paying attention to what works, looking back at your own work over time, looking at the works of other artists and listening to their 'whys', and getting to know yourself and your personality.

    I'm a beginner photographer in the industry. Living in the world of social media makes me feel sad about photography. Instead of being passionate about photography, enjoying the process of making it I began to judge so much about my work and stop producing anything for a period of time. But Sean Tucker I started watching his RUclips videos again and opened the freedom of making photos that matters to us, that's special to us.
    Sean guides through the journey and brings more out of the artistic side rather than focusing on the hashtags, when to upload photos to gain more likes.
    This is so much more than what I've learnt in the UNI. Thank you Sean

    You are a human being after my own kind. I am an introvert with a long love of street photography, the stories people’s faces tell and the movement of life going on around me when I am at a standstill. I also love nature, and places where man and nature converge. But, I haven’t been capturing anything for a long time, merely mentally composing photographs or using my cheap phone during a complex life interlude. I am finally getting a camera back in my hands in a few days. I am so happy, but I am also almost afraid of what will become of my vision if I cannot create what I see in my mind and find what I want to say. This video has given me a boost, though, so thank you. Blessings.

    @mimoreque1805 5 лет назад

    I cannot fully express how much I resonate with you words Sean. I used to stress by the fact that "I didn't have a style". "Looked" everywhere, texture, framing, color, perspective, work-flow, etc. As I made peace with the fact that my style may be just that: "looking for a style", I started to enjoy much more whatever it was that I was involved in. I mean, commercial projects have specifications, dead lines and metrics. Perhaps on the commercial productions, my style is delivering on time, on budget and in a professional manner. In my personal projects, I've dumped the idea of finding a personal style... If in the end photography for me ends up being a vulgar ego expression, so be it. It's a harmless one and something that really brings peace to my soul. Thank you for sharing. Greetings.

    I'm not completely uncomfortable with photographing in crowds, I think it's easier for me. I walk by, frame, shoot, smile and say thanks and walk away. Although I prefer to photograph single individuals, as you explained as well, as I see myself in them and I can relate to them on a different level.
    Your words are like medicine for my struggling self. Your words are inspiration not only for the struggling artist but also for the struggling human being. Thank you so much for that.

    Sean, I find your work very thought-provoking and immediately arresting. I can see why you admire and find a common bond with Hopper yet
    whereas his style evokes loneliness and isolation your work makes me feel that I am observing your subject(s) in a single, unguarded moment; as if I can suddenly see through their public veneer into their private thoughts, if only for an instant. I love your use of light against shadow; color against neutrals that creates such great tension. Your subjects seem so alive in their manmade, inanimate spaces. Because you observe them from a distance it's as if you want to respect their privacy while hoping to simultaneously learn something very intimate about them. I'm an introvert as well so I understood completely what you meant by being uncomfortable being in and shooting crowds. I find photography to be a very solitary pursuit, where I can get in and stay in "the zone" and focus all my attention on what I'm doing without distraction. I prefer shooting nature (animals, insects, flowers, shells, etc), usually at close-up/macro levels, to reveal the hidden details, artful biology and complexities of the natural world, usually hidden from view. It's wonderful to see you encouraging others to find and pursue their own styles. Thank you for the heartfelt video.

    Putting yourself in the middle of the crowd and capturing something meaningful is hard. I have worked alongside wedding photogs that do and can do it effortlessly and it makes it feel like hard work when you come out with so little. It's clearly not what I enjoy and - I dont like being that pain in the butt photographer with the camera in peoples faces constantly.

    I find it inspiring and liberating that when people said your work looked similar to another artist that you took that as validation instead of saying "oh crap, I'm a copycat fraud". Your videos have been so inspiring to me to realize that looking at another artists work and trying to replicate it is a learning experience, not necessarily plagiarism. You're never going to literally replicate their work. It merely informs your own aesthetic, which develops over time.

    You are describing me in the description of yourself. I closed a chapter in my life that was wedding photography. I needed to become an amateur again to regain my passion for the art of photography. Landscapes are my thing and the solitude it brings. So why am I pursuing street photography with such fervour. I too am uncomfortable in crowds and cities are alien to me, but yet I’m drawn to the city. I think it’s randomness of the unexpected that the dynamic of humans bring to the streets and the light that sculpts its way through buildings and streets. Street photography to me is not shoving a camera in someone’s face and clicking the shutter. My street work is moving towards a more artistic leaning. Your work is stunning and just my cup of tea. I skirt around the edge of a scene rather than be in the thick of it.
    Street photography is uncomfortable and challenging to me and that is why I am beguiled by it. I prefer to be in the corner of my subjects eye, in the shadows so to speak. This is what I wrote on my website of how I see street photography.
    “We walk amongst you, from city to city, street to street.. You don't see us, but we see you. We work in the shadows, in the corner of your eye. Your distraction is our oppertunity to capture a moment never to be repeated and in an instant we are gone, but to you, we were never there. We chase the light and the perfect moment recording our time for posterity with every click of the shutter". The life of a Street Photographer, by Simon Barnes.
    I’ve been a photographer for 25 years and still my style is evolving. I think my style has a need to alway be in flux, to keep,me on my toes, to make it a challenge and to keep me from stagnating. I see street photography more as an art form the deeper I delve into it. One thing I have noticed about my work is how, very often I see a scene unfold and I take the picture, sometimes not realising what the picture means. Then when I look at it in Lightroom I see a narrative unfolds that I didn’t see at the time. Perhaps my subconscious guides my making of certain photographs without sometimes realising it. We are all on a photographic journey. When that journey ends, perhaps only then is it time to hang up the camera for good, who knows. A very thought provoking vlog as always. To me, if there are certain rules to street photography, I guess we should try to break them in pursuit of our style.

    Hello Sean,
    What a relief ! Like you, I'm not comfortable with crowds. When I got into street photography, all the books showed pictures of people walking, sitting in cafes, waiting for the bus, etc.
    But I couldn't photograph people. I was afraid of their reaction and I had the impression of being indiscreet. Today when I look at my photos, I see that they are just empty scenes with shapes and a particular light. And that's what I like. Your words reinforce my desire to take this kind of photos without asking me questions. I just discovered your youtube channel and I really like your videos. THANKS.

    When it comes to defining your 'style' or finding your voice in any sort of art, One of the things I think is important is to approach it with a child's understanding. When learning to talk or do anything, children will imitate, iterate and then innovate. We may never get to the 3rd stage, but it's a great way to learn.

    I’m sure there’s lots of us that finding our style, our individual voice, has been a struggle. It is worth the journey.

    I think style is what you shoot because you react to the scene in front you or whatever elements of the scene that you react to, then you find a way to express in photo that you take. Great video and your introvert resonant with me. Once in a while we need to go out to see what the real world look like before we forget it

    There is nothing wrong in getting inspired, thats one of the reason why we buy grate artists books, visiting galleries & museums. Sean, I feel your images are focused more of graphical than emotional compared many other street shooters. To me both have its beauty but awesome when combine both :). Come to Kerala in India, I will take to awesome places if you wanted :)

    I too feel uncomfortable with people focused, often confrontational, “street photography”. Whilst I do street photography and enjoy the places it takes me, it’s not original, but I class myself as an “urban” photographer. People form part of my work, but they’re not the focus of it.

  • @edduffy9366
    @edduffy9366 5 лет назад +1

    Your videos still feel the most genuine to me from a purest view of photography. Street photography is really a creative energy you feel at that moment. In my case it jumps at me when the time is right. However, the more I do street photography, the more I understand that I have to be one with the environment as compared to a guy walking through the scene, but not being there appearing out of place.

    I have only just found your videos. Thank you for giving words to unformed directions, for encouraging me to just keep shooting even as I flounder about the reason why I take photos in the first place, for nudging me on and not to give up. Because there is a deep joy in this, and my own story to tell. I just need to discover myself and the story or the stories that reveals myself.

Now I have a channel about sustainability (no this isn't to promote myself). This is to share with you how I am utilizing my passion for photography and videography for a topic I am passionate about. Thanks so much for your videos, as they have helped me find my style! Keep it up!

    My style is what comes Natural to me. No effects, no filters, just what my eyes and the lens see. My added take on that is angles, ultra-high resolution, and macro shots.

    The concept of "shooting" yourself, as for a concept that self expression is really, actually, literally the rendering of the self through a creative outlet... man. It is so simple, evident, and yet very transcendantal. The way you brought out this idea is genius. I felt it, and can't even put it back in words. Thanks for this, deeply.

  • @rayma9978
    @rayma9978 5 лет назад +1

    Thank you Sean. It was your previous videos (about your street photography philosophy as an introvert) that encouraged me to go out and search for light and shadows instead of shooting people in the face. Your suggestions mean quite a lot to me. Now, after one year of practice, I have found myself a style of street photography. And I am still practicing now, and trying to find my own style of colour tones. Thanks a lot and look forward to more of your videos, which are great!

    I've wanted to get into filmography or videography since I could remember but I never felt like I had the tools or know how. I have always worked jobs that was never creative . I began my journey to recording video when I got my DSLR Canon EOS 77d in Sept 2017 has been amazing. I haven't made much money however I've been putting myself through the paces to develope technique with photography rather than just cut and past to make quick cash.
    You talk about confirmation a lot. The idea of it being... respectfully ...ok to take a photo of perspective. Me learning the inner works of a photo and how I can bring my perspective or story to life with just a photo has layed the groundworks for becoming a better videographer.
    I still have a lot to learn but I have definitely learned that it's never just another photo.
    THANK YOU for what you do!

    Thank you so much. You talking about not fitting into big, crowded and loud spaces. I know there’s a lot of people who feel the same but actually hearing that come out of your mouth and you putting it into words so perfectly, makes me feel really understood. I thought there was something wrong with me and have been continued to be told so ... just because I don’t fit in with the masses and their excessive drinking habits and party culture. Thanks for sharing your art, life experience and helpful tips of photography 🌟 this video brightened my day

    I love your content, and as an extroverted person, I have to say that I'm grateful that introverted people like you exist.
    Thanks for blessing us with your knowledge and work. I am not subscribed to your channel because of your photos but because of your wisdom as a photographer. But when you shared the amazing compilation of photographs at the end of this video, I began to appreciate who you are as a photographer as well as the photos you produce. Incredible work! I really like your style and how it reflects who you are as a person. You do a great job with symmetry, light and isolating your subject in a beautiful away that draws our attention to it. Thanks for being on this platform.

    Thank you for your passion about finding who you are, who each of us is, by doing our work. Patterns emerge. Our friends help us see them. Sometimes I stumble into a realization. I say "the obvious", hear myself, and realize that it was not obvious at all, but something I'm just becoming aware of.

    Thank you so much for this wonderful video Sean! Listening to you talk is therapeutic. I myself was anxious because I have trouble finding my own style, and I have fallen into the trap of seeking confirmation via social media. Your video made me realize that I don’t need to care about any of that - I just need to keep doing the things I love, which is going out and shoot. And the rest will follow. You kept me grounded. Thank you Sean!

Along that line, I try to learn from everyone so I could achieve that. An you were right, we shoot what we are. Once you mentioned, I realized that is true. Thank you for this encouraging video.

    Sean, your videos always come at the right time. You literally told me what I needed to hear - do my own thing and find the stuff what's clicking for me, not the stuff that crowd goes for and seems to have demand. It's so important for artists that feel lost so often. Thank you from all my heart.

  • @uwetrenkner9716
    @uwetrenkner9716 5 лет назад

    Your videos are a motivation for myself to go out and shot, try, improve. This one is really impressing. Being confident about what is your style, being confident about what you shot and what not, being able to explain what defines style is really awsome.
