I can’t even convey how much I appreciate your thoughtfulness behind your art as well as your ability to express it into advice for others. Such an insightful observation of things that every photographer will encounter but may not even recognize. There’s nothing else like this on RUclips. Thank you.
Whoa . This is great. My brother sent this to me and he’s certainly moving in this direction with his photography. I’m going to incorporate these tips in my shooting as well.
I am literally flabbergasted by this video... was this a photography lesson or a life lesson... it must have been the most useful, practical, emotional set of advice I have ever seen on youtube. It touched me emotionally, much like a poem would. You are an amazing human being and your love for photography (and life in general) really shines through in your videos. Unlike most/all other photography youtubers that have an agenda, or are angry fanboys, or gear heads, you simply love photography. I am deciding which camera system to get and you are a big reason why i am leaning on Fugi bit would really love the opportunities to pick your brains on it... anyway. Thank you for this video🙏🏻
I think using photography as a logbook is a valid way doing it. In fact it is the way I am using photography and I am happy with it. Important is that a picture tells a story. Beauty is not all. It is a different approach of fotography. But I must amid the pictures shown in this video are gorgeous.
Nice discussion.... Another tip I would add is to have a "house camera"... I always had an older dSLR sitting in living room (turned on in standby, set to mid aperture, auto focus/shutter/flash popup etc with a 50mm prime). Friends/family knew they could grab and just push the button... nothing to setup, instant on and no judgment ;-)
I've watched countless many photography tip videos (as I'm sure all of us here have), but this is the first one I actually nod my head at saying yes... of course... Inspiring.
Soooo many good and genuine tips! Thanks for taking the time to make this video! I learned a lot on this video… less technical stuff but great mental notes and awareness 🙏🏾
As a parent too, most of my photos -- and the ones I appreciate most looking back -- are of family. There was some great advice in this video. You also articulated very well the reason not to keep every picture, which is something I have a hard time explaining to my wife (who takes thousands of photos with her phone and rarely deletes any of them).
I really enjoyed this video. I am not a photographer but an enthusiastic hobbyist and I am happy to use my DSLR or my phone. I like the black and white wall idea.
Andrew, let me start saying again, you have a beautiful family. This video was not just possibly the best advice I’ve seen on family documentary photography, but it also became very moving. I value a lot this kind of photography and as a street shooter I always pride myself of cultivating that “awareness” you talk about. Thanks for sharing man, as always!
I agree. Andrew.. watching the thumbnail, I somehow knew you would make this one, a non-average-photo-tips video. ;) Its actually one of your best ones.
Best tip I got was that wall, so simple but do affective. I still print my photos, but only display them in my office, that wall has given me a idea for our kitchen wall. Once the brackets are up u just change the picture, ingenious 👍👍👍
Andrew I’m a newbie (and likely “noobie”) to photography but you videos made me so passionate about my photography. I just started on an XT1 and you’re such an inspiration. I’m addicted to your videos and I love the passion you put into your “work/art/whatweveryouwanttocallit”. Love your pics and tips!
Thank you for this! This has been what I am needing. I recently traded my nikon d3300 for an X-E3 because I realized i never wanted to take my dslr everywhere. I knew buying it wouldn't help me be a better photographer, but I still have feelings of "was it worth it?" because I still have trouble being comfortable taking it out with us, as I don't want to be distracted and miss just "being" with my wife and 3 year old daughter. I picked up a 27mm pancake just to make a lower profile camera and have yet to do any shooting with it outside the home. Thanks again for this encouragement and philosophical lesson!
Completely agree with what you are saying. I am im the same boat just switching from a larger sony a57, just cant decide on the 23f2 lens or wait for the new 16f2.8
Wow this is so so true. Good to hear someone talk honest stuff and not the usual gear, aperture, lighting, etc.,etc., I don’t use Fujifilm but subscribed for such valuable videos.
Recently discovered your channel after I got my first Fuji cam, 2nd hand xe3. I'm a father of 2, absolutely agree you points, very much appreciate your advices and inspiration. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!
Wow, you got me when you started to compare photography to poetry and how we should treat it similarly! I´m always reminded of this when I take the "safe shot" of something at a wedding and then I manage to get a "real moment shot" with the same subject. Case in point all the "compulsory" shots of dresses, rings, and all that stuff...100% of time the real moments are more interesting and, of course, real then when you say: "the dress", "the ring"..:) Anyway, this should be about family photography but it´s the same principle, really. Having the camera always ready is really a huge part, especially when documenting the family. And that´s what I Iove about Fuji cameras above all else that I can use them for my pro, paid work but at the same time for the family stuff...and all the rest. Thanks for this video and happy shooting!
Agreed on all points. We're all sometimes too stressed on gear, copying the style of others, forcing ourselves to do certain kind of shots. I'm guilty in many points said, and as I grew older I realize more and more that none of these matter. Just enjoy what you're doing :)
So glad I found this video today, it was like you where in my head, I've been falling into alot of the traps you mentioned. Great Video and amazing photos
Like button not big enough. Seriously, the best advices got since I start watching RUclips photography guides (about a year ago ...). I will revisit this one soon.
I'm going to watch this back twice - at least. So many good tips and it was noticeable to me how thoroughly considered all of these points were. I wish I could have subscribed and hit the notifications bell to reward you for this, but I'd already done that some time ago. Turns out there was a reason for that. Good stuff.
Nearly 2500 views and not a single thumbs down. There's hope! Would love a video on how you set up that wall. Loving the changeability and acrylic prints. Keep the great content coming! Thanks!
THANKS so much Andrew! I am so hooked to your videos, i am on a binge watch mode! i hail from Bangladesh. looking forward to your newer videos. Take care
this right here is actual Pro advice. I'm saying this as a studio photographer turned Art Director-- what this guy is saying is soo much more important than than your gear, the technical side of things, the "how to make your footage look cinematic" videos and everything else out there. Take note of his advice
I just discovered your channel, and I have to say - every video I've watched so far, has been so much more insightful and applicable than most other ones I've seen. Thanks for such thoughtful, useful content!
It's too easy to say "Great Video" or that was really spot on...so I was trying to think of something to say that would show how much I appreciate your effort and time in making good videos...so I'll say this...I wish you were my neighbor. LOL. But you really was spot on with what photography should be...friends and family first.
Now that I've been photographing for a couple of years I really can see you points. Extremely good video which learned me a lot. I will especially take to heart the resetting and the note on the back of the camera. Most other thing I've worked around and came to the same conclusions as you and Denae have. Thank you Andrew and all the best on Valentine's day. /Robert
I just stumbled across this video and am glad I did. All the points you mentioned, just stuck the chord as to what I try to follow at times when shooting kids at home.
Lovely and important video Andrew; so agree with what you said about cellphones while having expensive gear at home and loved what you said about auto sometimes. This is one of my favorite videos and have watched it several times as well as bookmarked it. Thanks for the quality videos Andrew (and Denae :P ), really appreciate it.
Following your hint to not pose for portraits which focal lengths for APS-C can you recommend to get those impressive shots of your kids? I have to watch your videos about zooms and primes again buh I guess you didn‘t explain this aspect in detail. Great pictures by the way! 👍
Andrew, this is a fantastic video, full of brilliant tips, advice and inspiration! I found myself connecting in some way to all of your points. I am not a professional photographer, so the main reason I purchased my first dslr was to document my kids/family. It then became a passion and I soon found myself photographing everything . So when it was time to upgrade my entry Nikon dslr, I naturally thought I must go FF. This until I watched many of your videos on the Fuji system. I purchased the xt2 a couple of years ago and couldn’t be happier. Thank you again for all great content!
Was looking for family photo documentation video cause Im starting that journey with my now 6 month old and this video hit home, even tho its an oldie Andrew you really hit something great in this one and I adore your family documentation :)
Great video, very refreshing. There’s a lot of similar videos online but this is very genuine, not patronising and I don’t think anyone could really disagree with anything that you said. Keep it up.
Great advise ! Especially about kids and camera complexes ! I will never ask again my son / daughter to re do something and just try to capt the moment as it happens ! Thank you, love your work, love your channel !
Very nice video and tips. Thank you! Till now I was using my Note 9 with the full moment lens gear. But I just grow enough to go with the camera. My pick is the Fujifilm x-t30 with the 18-55 lens. I will follow your suggestions and your Chanel of course. Keep it up!
just got a Fuji XE3 paired with a 27mm f2.8 exactly for this!! Also have a XT2 with more glass for specifically going out to take pics.! nice vid thanks!
Andrew, I'm late to the party, but this channel and this set of tips are golden! I've literally just spent 30 minutes pausing/resuming the video to type all this into my notes :) Thank you!
I really enjoyed this video. You had some very helpful tips that I plan to implement into my photography. I have two young kids and I am always struggling to walk that line of documenting, but still enjoying the moment. I think you did a good job of giving advice/tips that most other "family photo tips" do not include.
This was one of your best videos to date and I agree with everything. I have some videos that I come back to from time to time for inspiration or just to keep me "grounded" and this will definitely be among those :-)
Thank you so much for this great content. I love how candid and down to earth you talk about things that matter to you. It's extremely inspiring and actually the kind of - mostly philosophic - input I need and want to listen to. Love your photos and idea behind them - please continue this!
I print these types of photos exclusively. About 36 a year. Views and vibes 24/7. Just want a feel of life candid and documented so I can remember the places and spaces I have been, and who was there. My goal is all about camera zen. Having a tiny set up that runs how I need it. f2 is necessary for lower light. I’ve been looking into the x-70 or x-100, or even the ricoh GR. I really liked shooting a summer on my smart phone. 28mm, P-mode with exp comp, locked in jpeg. It was the experience that made me shoot. And it’s why as much as I think it’s the perfect camera, I’m considering selling my X-T2.
I totally agree with you on the matter of staying with one style of color grading or theme! I'm too random and love too many genre to limit my passion for life and the happenings around me. It's why I carry my camera everywhere I go. Good job buddy! I just bought the GoPro 7 Black and I look forward to making it work for me! Hahaha!
"If you love the way it looks and feels".... ...No wonder I never seem to want to give up my G85, despite it's (on paper) limitations. It's just so... Well, comfy to hold and use for a long period of time. That and it seems nobody notices it, and I haven't even blacked out the front facing logos. I still want to try out a Fuji at some point though just out of curiosity. As for the moment lenses... I'm so wishing I'd bought a phone that was compatible with them, because hey, why not have a bit of variety with things and get to try it all out. I always have my phone with me anyways! Definitely have to agree about full auto not being an issue at all... It's how hubby prefers to shoot, and unsurprisingly, he's able to catch things how he wants to. Usually has better composition than I do too! o_O ...Then again, I switched to using Program mode on my G85 simply because, well... I'm still working on developing that instinctive kind of feel for what settings are needed, and it's nice to be able to push it one way or the other and focus on taking photos. When we know we have the time to just relax (usually buildings and landscapes, they tend not to go anywhere!) we lean more towards manual adjustments because hey, why not get it exactly how you feel it works best for your intend shot..

“You’re not trying to create a logbook, you’re trying to create a poem.” Well said!
True story!
It also makes you live the moment and not just view it through your camera lens only
The photo wall deserves to be a episode, gorgeous
I agree..!
Takes us on a journey, Andrew ;)
Yes please

First off, I LOVE that photo wall. Holy crap, so beautiful. And that escalator shot is so brilliant. You guys rock as always!
Haha. Thanks Lou
@@AndrewGoodCamera what do you use to make that wall?
I've watched countless many photography tip videos (as I'm sure all of us here have), but this is the first one I actually nod my head at saying yes... of course... Inspiring.
Soooo many good and genuine tips! Thanks for taking the time to make this video! I learned a lot on this video… less technical stuff but great mental notes and awareness 🙏🏾
The comparison of photo series to poems is absolutely beautiful.
As a parent too, most of my photos -- and the ones I appreciate most looking back -- are of family. There was some great advice in this video. You also articulated very well the reason not to keep every picture, which is something I have a hard time explaining to my wife (who takes thousands of photos with her phone and rarely deletes any of them).
I can not understand that you do not have many more subscribers, you deserve it! Thanks guys for your time, i love you.
Thanks Pablo!
@@AndrewGoodCamera Two years later i turn to watch that incredible video.
I can repeat I LOVE YOU GUYS.
My heart felt thanks for sharing the distilled nuggets of priceless wisdom from years of everyday experience. Very much appreciated!
Thanks for the inspiration. We have had 5 snow days with the kids and I haven't taken out my camera once. Grabbing it now!
Great tips in a well presented manner. Thank you 😎

This is probably THE best video on photography that I´ve seen! Thank you for your thoughtful advice, honesty and practical tips.
Thank you Olga!
Thanks so much for this, as a dad and family documentation, this has been one of the most helpful videos on photography I've ever seen.
2y later, still the best advice collection on YT, for beginner photographers
That's a huge compliment and made my day. Thanks! //A
And... breathe! You fit a lot into those 18 minutes :)
😂
@@AndrewGoodCamera yes...
Now, try and watch it at 1.25, or even 1.5 speed.
Its crazy!
I get to rewatch this video again and again..
I have watched hundreds of videos on photography by now and I still learned something useful. Thank you.
As always, insightful, on point and stressing what really matters. Kindness before cameras!

Kind words. Thank you!
Great tips! I like the tip about the background blur. I get caught up in always shooting at lowest aperture
This is so good, a life lesson not just a photography tips video!!!
Excellent video! Very good and unique ideas and tips. Thanks for sharing!
You always inspire me so much. I love your photos so much especially the stories they tell. Keep up the good work and keep us motivating.

Most sensible video I have seen in a while....well done!!!
Oh gosh I love your photography ethic and reference to photography being poetry! I am inspired!
Great tips! I learned a lot. Thanks Andrew!
I am impressed about your clarity.
Following your hint to not pose for portraits which focal lengths for APS-C can you recommend to get those impressive shots of your kids? I have to watch your videos about zooms and primes again buh I guess you didn‘t explain this aspect in detail.
Great pictures by the way! 👍
Spot on, great tips. I've been challenging myself to think like a photographer more of the time, and you verbalized that process/exercise perfectly.
Andrew, this is a fantastic video, full of brilliant tips, advice and inspiration! I found myself connecting in some way to all of your points.

One of the best photography youtube clip I have seen in a long time.
Very nice video and tips. Thank you!
Till now I was using my Note 9 with the full moment lens gear. But I just grow enough to go with the camera. My pick is the Fujifilm x-t30 with the 18-55 lens.
I will follow your suggestions and your Chanel of course. Keep it up!
Watched it--saved to watch (again) later. 😅
As much as I like lens reviews, this is a lot more valuable for me, thank you! 😊

Love the lighting and color of this
Thank you for this video! So encouraging and inspiring. This is packed full of great tips that I can apply right away.
Love the idea of resetting the camera after each use. One reason I want the x-t30 is the auto button. Also makes it easier to hand on to someone else.
Fantastic job! So glad you decided to make the video. 👍
This was very well thought out. I really appreciate everything that you talked about and plan to try and put more of what you said to good use.

"If you love the way it looks and feels".... ...No wonder I never seem to want to give up my G85, despite it's (on paper) limitations. It's just so... Well, comfy to hold and use for a long period of time. That and it seems nobody notices it, and I haven't even blacked out the front facing logos.

As for the moment lenses... I'm so wishing I'd bought a phone that was compatible with them, because hey, why not have a bit of variety with things and get to try it all out. I always have my phone with me anyways!
Definitely have to agree about full auto not being an issue at all... It's how hubby prefers to shoot, and unsurprisingly, he's able to catch things how he wants to. Usually has better composition than I do too! o_O ...Then again, I switched to using Program mode on my G85 simply because, well... I'm still working on developing that instinctive kind of feel for what settings are needed, and it's nice to be able to push it one way or the other and focus on taking photos. When we know we have the time to just relax (usually buildings and landscapes, they tend not to go anywhere!) we lean more towards manual adjustments because hey, why not get it exactly how you feel it works best for your intend shot..
