I'd been thinking of doing an art festival for awhile. The idea of getting my framed fine art photography out on display at a gathering of artists seemed like it would be right up my alley, because, after all, the framed print is really my greatest passion in photography.
In order to test the waters a bit before I attempted a large multi-day show, I submitted my work for the Newport Beach Art in the Park at the Newport Beach Civic Center in Orange County, CA. This would be the perfect avenue to get my sea legs on this whole art festival thing - it was only one day and it was close to my home base in Tustin, CA. So if it didn't go well, I'd only be out a Saturday and I'd be sleeping in my own bed to cry it off.
This video chronicles my work leading up to and including the festival (and I'm happy to say there was no need to cry it off at the end of the day!). From planning to execution, I wanted to show what's really involved in an undertaking like this. I learned a lot doing this show, but I'm sure there is still plenty more to learn.
This won't be my last festival. Despite the immense amount of work and expense involved, it was just too damn fun and rewarding to stop here!

Nick, I think you have no idea how good you are at making these videos, please make more.
Greetings from Mexico
tijman1 why thank you sir! I wish I could do it full time.
I enjoyed the video Nick. I've done some festivals in the past and found that it was indeed a very rewarding experience talking to the people and sharing my work. One thing that was a bit disappointing through was seeing the sort of work that was selling. There were a lot of over-processed images that were being printed way too big. You could see the rough edges of selections, sloppy use of photoshop, and colors that were literally falling apart because the saturation was cranked way too high. I looked at that work, then my own, and came to the conclusion that if that is the sort of work that sells, I really don't want to be in that category. There wasn't a lot of originality -- the same sort of photos again and again, and people were rewarded for printing the biggest and having the most saturated colors. I did get a few sales out of it here and there, but there was so much effort involved that I did the shows for only 4 years before I called it quits.
What I really like about your work is how classy and clean the images are. The black and white multi-exposure prints in particular turned out fantastic, and I can definitely see why they sold. Vey well done sir!
Ben Horne oh man, Ben, you're basically taking the words right out of my own thoughts. The number of Peter Lik cover bands at these shows is off the charts. It can certainly be discouraging for me to see that kind of stuff sell, but I try to stay focused on playing a different game than they are. I have no interest in playing the "who can out-epic each other" game. I want to play the game of "can I make some really awesome sh!t that stands out from all that other stuff."
I'd be lying if I said I didn't also want to outsell them, but I realized I'd rather sell one piece I'm really proud of than sell 5 pieces that I really can't say are uniquely my own style.
Thanks for commenting. I admire what you're doing with photography.
Stephen Lloyd yeah you're absolutely right. I sometimes revert to the more popular "epic style" just because it's fun to do when the conditions are right. However, in general I've found I get more joy in the challenge of creating something that breaks out of that mold.
I learned a long time ago that in chasing trends you're always late for dinner. Do what you love, do it well, and some day, when it is your turn, you will be the first one sitting down to a new feast. In the meantime, never disparage the current trend. Enjoy it for what it is and how different it is from what you love.
I have been thinking about joining the art festival scene. One thing I noticed was the over processed images, especially the HDR images (makes me puke). That being said, I love going to them and talking about photography and really trying to learn how some people make it. I want to learn their process and what makes it POP. I often get the feeling they only talk to you to make a sale and not because they are interested in the art. Some people I get that instant vibe where they genuinely don't care about if they sell an item and are just happy to share what they do and love that someone takes a genuine interest in how they do.
If I do ever do an art festival I think I will do things differently. I'd love to set up a demonstration booth with a laptop or whatever demonstrating the process. I want to limit the number of prints I bring to the plate because I'd rather people buy it for the love and not the novelty.
@@nickcarverphoto Exactly - "Peter Lik cover bands" makes me sad when I go to festivals. I've been tempted to give one a try and have a couple of folks who've tried to encourage me to give it a try but I just can't quite decide how to approach it. This video and the newer one have given me some things to think about. Thanks.
Nick, you don't take yourself too seriously and that's what I like about you....your laid-back, humble attitude draws me to your YT channel like a moth to a street light. Your photos are spectacular and I really enjoy the entire process from start to finish. Keep them coming!
I totally, totally agree about ditching home photographic printing and finding a good pro lab to print. I've been very lucky in the last 6-7 years in that my local pro photographer was a) super friendly and supportive, b) an extremely skilled printer, as he used to work as a hand-printer in one of the big pro labs in the film era. Now in fact he was doing inkjet, but man, I've never, ever, seen profiles as accurate as his and prints as spot-on. I do occasionally get a lightjet print, as I do appreciate that process, but it is definitely worth exploring your local pro photographer if they print themselves and have good equipment and a good eye and knowledge of printing. I just moved to the city so now I have to find a different lab, but I would never bother with home printing now either way.
Really enjoyed this as always
NegativeFeedback thank you!
(by the guy, who thinks panoramas should not exist, ahah)
I agree with "do it because you want to do it." I feel drawn to watch other people doing something they love to do. I don't think it matters what they're doing, as long as they are enjoying it. It's that energy; that vibe. I not only see something beautiful, I can feel it. Enjoyment is a feeling and I think that emotion is captured by the artist's work. Thanks for the video, I appreciate it.
A great guy, so laid back but hugely informative and inspiring. I did a university course in fine art photography, did exhibitions in London and sold prints, and like you I get super excited about creating that final object, the print. Now retired from my career of furniture design and making, living in southern France, I've let slip my time spent on photography, especially using my Shen Hao 4x5 view camera, as I work on my newly acquired house and build a large new woodshop here at home (to continue another of my passions, this time furniture for myself instead of clients) so that coming upon your videos is inspiring me so enormously and reminding me of how so much (?) I love doing landscape photography. For this, I thank you!
"Do. Or do not. There is no try." Yoda. Excellent presentation. Your "flow" with talking about the feelings, doubts, "head talk" with a matter of fact ease, I believe all of us who viewed this gained something & everything from this video. Thank you...
Thank you very much for this comment.
Photography, to me, is a gateway to how your passion imagined them to be. I'm a poet and I never published any of my poems, but when I wrote them, they became part of my life. When I posted it online, like Facebook, for instance, it demonstrates the uniqueness of who I am.
The true with you and your passion in that specific form of photography. You are showing your creativeness to those who never saw them before. You have inspired me, for instance, to the 6x17 format, I remembered when I was young, when I went to Christan stores, there were scriptures on arts framework. They do inspire me and I've been trying to figure out my desired result until I saw your youtube channel. My goal is to either use Scriptures or my own poems into those fine arts photos that I might find soon. :)
What I saw in your RUclips channel is your passion in action, CREATING a result of your vision rather than displaying in the social media like most of us did on Instagram. You are expressing your vision to those who are seeking for the same passion that you have, resulting in a good purchase. I'm sure that must have felt good but above and beyond the purchase transaction.
When I saw your videos, it totally changed my point of view, my objectives in my newly opened business "Scott Hamm Imagine" has changed. It got me researching into photography options that I have never seen before. I am sure that your first art festival there inspired some people who saw your work and got inspired by that point, an investment well paid without knowing who was.
Keep up the good work on the RUclips channel, influencing those more than you know.
Carpe Diem!
12:35 best part of the video for me. To do something for a fulfillment rather than for an expectation.
Amazing artist!!! Congratulations and ty for share!!!🙌💪go for more!!!
You've created a really special channel Nick. It is really enjoyable see you shoot on these old film cameras, see you create all the print work and build the result yourself and then see it actually here now on the festival - thanks for creating these videos, it must be a tremendous amount of work that many people probably never see. Greetings from Germany, Dirkson!
Your videos are always impart some great tip, and are always super inspiring, and they make me want to get out there and shoot more.
By the way, I really love your work man. Your effort shows. I think there are photographers who focus solely on the final image, while some just focus on the process of taking the image. I can tell with your work that you value both, and the journey and destination shine through in your images as well as the care and attention to detail you have.
Thanks for making and sharing these videos, and keep up the beautiful work!
Justin Le wow, man, thank you very much. Your comments here really make me feel good about making these videos. It's one thing to know that viewers appreciate them for entertainment value, but I'm especially glad to know that I might encourage others to shoot and/or print more. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment.
Congrats on the sale Nick. I like your thematic presentation. It lends cohesiveness to the art work.
Nice to see your SO sharing your passion.
Makes me chuckle to be watching this a day after watching you take a circular saw to that palm top print.
Wow, so refreshing to watch this and hear another photographers experiences/feelings towards displaying your work in this format (art festival). I seem to have the same issue of feeling embarrassed at trying.. I really need to stop doing this and just be happy doing my photography for my enjoyment and not just for others. Cheers Nick, I gained a lot from watching this and really appreciate it.
It seems to afflict many photographers. Hard to get past it. Glad to know the video was helpful. Thanks for watching.
i have not words. It`s just brillaint. Thank you Nick. Thank you for your work.
Mikhail Fomin thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
You are awesome! Thanks for helping me feel better about all of those up front costs and why I am doing an art show
It's difficult to feel good about those upfront costs. Glad I could help!
Hi Nick.. love your work but more importantly I love your honesty ! Great channel 👍😎
Michael Bermingham thank you (on both accounts)!
You make a lot of good points. I can’t remember how many people look confused after they ask me if I did a photoshoot for a magazine or a client etc, and I tell them sometimes its just because I love photography so much. Many people it seems if they are not directly getting paid for every minute of their time they would just stop being creative at all. I’m more confused by their mindset. I have no choice but to pursue my passion.
Yep your best video yet for me....started off shaky with the advice on home printing and cohesiveness in peoples shows (which i disagreed with) but then your vulnerability and openness about the art show won me over... nice one mate.
8:40: "Trying is so embarrassing to me". I hear you. I have the exact same feelings towards what I do. For me it's a mix of "Oh, I'm probably not that good anyway" and the fact that if you stick out your nose, it might be hurt - but for most cases actually the opposite will happen. Also: Keep making videos!
Massimo Fiorentino glad to hear it's not just me. And you're right, it's never as bad as I make it out to be in my head.
Man, Nick, I've just watched three of your videos in a row, and I gotta say I flat out love your content. Your genuineness and casual charisma really comes through in these videos which I've found really informative and fun to watch. Keep it up!
The only RUclips channel that inspires me to comment! Great to see the attention to detail and craftsmanship that goes into your work, thanks for sharing it with us.
Phill Ashworth that's high praise. It takes a lot to get me to comment too. Thank you very much!
I enjoy all your videos. And your artwork is great.
#1 believe in yourself
#2 don't think too much about what others might think.
#3 smile a lot and everyone will
approach you.
#4 be yourself
You do great work. Good luck !
Thank you my friend. All good points to keep in mind. 👍🏼
Trying is so damn scary. It is akin to bearing one's soul and saying "this is the best I have to offer". At that point you are open to any and all criticism, and ultimately as artists we can tend to judge works of art, especially our own, against some imaginary bar set by the masters of our medium. The surprising thing about it is how others are much better at seeing what is good in our work, and after a few times it gets so much less scary. As a musician performing I recall being so utterly focused on and tortured by my mistakes that I almost quit, until I finally realised that I was literally the only person who cared about them. I'm on the verge of producing my first real photographic works for public consumption at the moment. I know that this will be the scariest part. In regards to what you said about you trying to be inspirational, you are a massive inspiration! Your passionate and good humored approach to life and your artform are so admirable. Keep rockin bruh
Awesome work Nick. Thank you!
The most underrated photography channel on YT!
Man I felt that embarrassed of trying that hit deep that’s the feeling I’ve been trying to describe or over come TY!!! 100 times thank you!
Great great to see this. 👍🏻👌
Thanks Nick. These videos take time and effort and it is appreciated. Greetings from UK film photographers.
David Hobart thank you sir!
just because of your last part of this video i just become a fan of you :) nice job
SS thank you! 👍🏼
Nick - I just found your channel and I'm really loving it. Your style is honest, calm, and informative and your work is great! Looking forward to watching more of your videos...
Real nice Nick. Lovely prints to choose for the festival and some excellent post-festival reflection. I look forward to more videos!
Sam Luck thank you!
I don't do photography but I love your videos. You seem like a very honest and humble guy.
Glad you put this one out there... Been wanting to do this myself for a while so this got me thinking again. I was turned on to LF through an art show years ago and they guy I met was very instrumental in helping me build my LF system. Your right on, its not just about money its the community...
Jason Robert Jones yeah the connections you make doing something like this can be the most valuable part of the experience.
This is a great video on a topic no one seems to cover in photography. I love the prints and your dog is adorable.
shelbymustang123 thank you very much! I agree - not many videos about this out there. And thank you! ...she's old but she's still adorable.
Enjoyed your video, Nick! While I've done indoor art shows, next month will be my first time doing an outdoor show. And with that, the need to purchase a tent and associated 'stuff' to put on a good show. And like your friend told you, do it because it's your passion...and that's why I've made the investments...because I love photography. And guess what....people like my work enough to buy it, hang it in their homes and offices! And some times, we artists need a little inspiration. Thank you for that...just put your head down and keep doing what you love!
Thanks Nick for the great quality videos and pictures! ! you inspired me so much with that lasts words! !keep doing what do you love
José GodinhoSkate it's my pleasure! I'm just grateful anyone cares enough to watch!
Really appreciate the honesty.
Bryan Zwahlen thank you, sir.
I'm so glad I've found your channel!
First Tyler Shields, than you drive me towards fine art and printing
Really appreciate your honest commentary. I can relate to much of it and it's so helpful to hear. Great videos, wish you much success
Nick your artwork is beautiful I am not surprise you made a sale I am sure you will do well while pursuing your passion at the same time, thank you for taking us along with you.
Farouk Cherchali thanks a lot! And I hope you're right.
Hi Nick, visiting your channel and came across this video. Love your videos and photographs. Thanks for sharing.
This is the first video I have watched and now I see it was from 2016. Can’t wait to go see what has changed! Probably you where defeated because I am looking for the same canopy you have.
Thanks for this video and for the pep talk at the end :) I'm in the process of putting together a collection of images for my first art show this summer and keep struggling with the thought of, "no one will want to buy my images." So thanks for the reminder that I'm doing this for me and to help me grow as an artist.
Awesome job. Really like your work and your approach to what you do. Love watching the videos.
in my second year as a festival artist, I like the narrative. I also like that you dont have a lot of art hanging on the panel walls. I am going to do that also.
This is great. Your work is incredible, more videos!!!
Ryan H thank you! Will do
Keep the great videos coming NIck! I totally appreciate your art and ability to teach!
Chris Brown thanks a lot, Chris!
FINALLY NEW VIDEO!!! Thanks Nick!
I WISH I WERE THERE!!
Adam Pamungkas thanks for watching!
Nick Carver I wait for your new video duuude! Haha.. Hope all is well!
Really beautiful work and valuable information. And I think the point you made at the end will inspire a lot of us. All of us need x amount of prompts to take that big step.
johann kruger thank you very much. And I know what you mean - I needed encouragement more than once.
Long overdue video! Always enjoy your videos and the results of your photography.
Sridip Nag thank you! Glad you're enjoying them!
Wise words, young man! I've had a few passions in my 62 years, photography being one that has stuck with me. Needless to say, I "cut my teeth" on film, and lusted after digital when it came along.
Beautiful photos in your booth (nice booth too!). You're not an ugly man, but it may help to have your beautiful wife along, just in case. ;-)
Very helpful video. A couple of comments - you seem to much prefer C-prints over inkjet prints, but inkjet is better in a couple of ways. If you own a printer, you can control the process end-to-end and improve your prints as you get more accomplished at printing. With commercial printers, you only get one shot at it and if you blow it, it's pretty costly to repeat the process. Also, inkjet prints last about twice as long as C-prints. BTW: gator board is not considered archival, so mounting your prints on gator board is problematic.
To each his own.
Thanks again for the vid.
Appreciate your comments and those from the others here about festivals. After lots of years in art festivals while my parents were selling when I was young, I decided it wasn't for me. I prefer showing and selling in galleries. However, I will say my artist parents did well at the shows and had many sales days or weeks AFTER the shows, likely because they simply had great conversations with festival-goers who took home a business card or two.
I agree you need to find your "style" and stick to it. I think shows, festivals, fairs, and galleries are no place for a mixed-bag of work.
Cheers! Vive la film!!
CavemanPhotos thanks for watching! That's cool you have art in your bloodline. I bet that was a good experience to see them pursue it.
Great video. Really interesting.
Those prints look fantastic!
Also the booth turned out really well. Clean and professional.
FelixSchlegelMusic thank you! I really appreciate that.
I really enjoy your videos Nick!! So casual and informative!! You have the perfect personality for instructional videos and your Art is amazing!! Thanks!
Awesome video, like the others I have watched. And fantastic images. Great job
that is so funny and so honest. "Trying is embarrassing to me." great reviews great vids.
I genuinely enjoyed this video and it has helped me decide whether I should pursue a local show or not! Thanks and never stop making these videos because they are very honest and great to watch. Thanks!
Jeremy Villines thank you very much. I really appreciate that.
Thank you ! first for the valuable insight to your work. Second for the great message at the end about pursuing passion. love it!
Bobby Andrews thanks for watching!
"trying is very embarrassing for me" ..... I felt that
Glad I'm not the only one.
Well done Nick! You present you opinions and feelings in a very nice way.
Thank you very much!
Thanks so much for sharing ... it is good to know the point of view from Artist.
Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work and keep following your passion
^ Well put! I did an art show and to say the least it was a blast! Completely out of my comfort zone going from extreme introvert to connecting with people and photographers from many walks of life. One of the main things I struggle with is my age, I sometimes find it a challenge to socialize with the more experienced crowd but then all I have to do is remind myself is that there is one thing we all have in common and that is the love for photography and art. Then you can kick off and share some awesome stories.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us all!
Michael Rowlandson thanks for watching! I'm an introvert myself, so I know what you mean. But it was great meeting people there.
I so enjoyed this! I stumbled on it and couldn't stop watching. Love the way you reason and share. Also, I like your work so I guess I'll learn more because now I'm subscribing ;-). Thanks, and yeah it was actually very inspirational.
Thank you very much!
Merry Christmas Nick. I'm up in Santa Barbara County. I've always been an outdoors person and enjoy getting out and exploring our beautiful state. After viewing your video of the Alabama Hills in Lone Pine I made my first trip there and have made several since then. Camping, hiking, and of course picture taking. Every trip is better than the last. Keep up the good work. JJK
John Kershaw thanks, John! Just got back from there myself. I never get tired of that place.
Excellent photos, video and advice!!!
Sammy Santiago thank you!
One more small tip, Nick. When someone buys a print from you at a show, offer to have a picture of you and the buyer taken holding the print. Get their email and send them the image. This does two things: Gives them provenance for the future that they bought the image directly from the artist and gives you an email address you can use to inform them of upcoming releases or shows you might be in. (and use of the artist/buyer image in your social media) Besides, what buyer wouldn't want a picture of themselves and the artist holding the print they just bought!
Gary Jones Fine Art Photography that's an excellent idea. Thanks for sharing it!
Good Luck! Here's to your success!
I am impressed by your craftsmanship and understanding of frames and display. Though crass, I wish I had an idea about costs, but that apparently is an elephant in our room. There are those of us with much more modest means than you. FYI: I hope your means grow and grow so you can do these great videos and ... well, it's just nice kinda hangin' out with you. If you utilize the same likeability at the shows as you do on your videos, you will continue to do well. Thanks again.
Thank you for the compliments. If you want to email me through my website, I'd be happy offer details on product costs.
Thanks, I'll do that.
Everyone has to start...and starting hardly ever makes money....but I'm glad you started...I started a clothing brand I've made $0 so far...but I'm not stopping
Nick, this was such a great discussion and appreciate how you shared your feelings on “trying” and in general the whole art show scene. I really think you have it right in thinking that the next logical step with your craft is showing your work. Thanks for sharing your journey! Peace.
Thoroughly enjoyed this, thank you!
Cruce Grammatico my pleasure - thank you for watching!
I'm an amateur digital enthusiast. However I love watching your work as well as other film photographers.
It's so different and refreshing. Glad that the Art Festival went well and hopefully more of them in the future 😆👍
Gran trabajo Nick, me encanta tu trabajo
Desde Chile, un abrazo
Alejandro Moris ¡muchas gracias!
Thanks for video, Nick! You are inspiring me to do my first art fair! Thanks for setup tutorial! Not sure what tent setup yet, but thanks for ideas.
Another great video Nick. You’re so inspiring to me and I can tell you put so much thought and effort into your art and that’s what makes it great. Not everyone does that. I especially love these fine art videos and your on site photo shoots. So great and inspiring. For someone like me who’s dealing with an illness it’s so valuable to find inspiration and something to keep me going. Thank you for giving me that. Please make more videos.
Well done, Nick. Your work is top-notch and presented very professionally. Maybe someday I'll get up the nerve to do a show. Thanks for always inspiring me!
Kim Murphy thanks Kim! Means a lot coming from you.
clear and concise Thanks Alex
Nice job, Nick! Showing your work at art festivals is a lot of work, but a great experience! You talked about sitting in your booth and it kind of scared people off and I have a suggestion. Setup a camera on a tripod just outside of your booth and hang around it as people walk by. It's a great conversation starter and the longer they hang around and talk the more comfortable they are with shopping and buying. To add a reason as to why to do art shows - you get a lot of exposure and build a base of collectors over time. Best of luck to you!
Gary Jones Fine Art Photography thank you very much. And that's an excellent idea.
Especially your 6x17!
Recently stumbled onto this video and your channel. I must say I'm in love with it. Great videos and information. I knew i would enjoy your stuff as soon as I saw the Galen Rowell retrospective. I too have a copy as part of my decor.
Thanks very much! Yes, Rowell was a master and huge influence on my earlier work. I love that book.
loved the video, and you're booth was perfectly simple!
Brandon Lavergne thank you!
My 11 year old daughter and I watched this morning over breakfast; incredibly inspiring. Wonderful to see your commitment to film as it simply looks better. I’m going to look up your links to pro print labs as yes, I too was considering the $X thousand dollar Epson but the price of inks is terrifying. I didn’t think there was anyone doing optical printing anymore.
Great video and great channel, I am now a subscriber!
Fantastic video, brother. I love the pieces you displayed. I guarantee they are worth every penny you charge for them. Please make more videos like this.
Interface Death thank you very much my friend! I really appreciate it.
Wow! What an interesting and enjoyable 13+ minutes. Only found your channel a day or so ago, but the production and - more importantly, content, is wonderful. Your passion, enthusiasm and honesty really shine through. Good luck, Sir. Looking forward to seeing your subscriber count grow!
Thanks, Neil! I really appreciate the kind words.
Thanks for sharing this man. I can totally relate with that self-consciousness about looking like you're trying. The first time I had a booth at an event with my prints for sake, I was just dying. I didn't do very well either because I wasn't into it and so wasn't prepared to have a good showing. Lesson learned.
Aaron Palabyab thank you for the comment. I wasn't sure if anyone would be able to relate to that, but I'm glad to know I'm not alone!
Thanks for the video Nick it will help me when i do my first Festival and your work is very good. If someone doesn't sell a single print at least they can say they tried. Thanks my Brother
This is still on my top favorite vlog..
Adam Pamungkas thank you!
You really inspire me Nick
Gaston Seijas I'm very glad to hear that and I hope I can continue to.
Really great video and thoughts. I am personally a big fan of presenting a coherent series or body of work when exhibiting, and that was one of the things (among many) that elevated your display over most of the other photography booths. I have been waiting till I finish my degree to start doing art festivals, and I've been dragging my feet a bit, but hearing your thoughts at the end was the kick in the pants I needed. Congrats on selling those prints, too!
Eric Bryan thanks a lot, Eric. I actually have you to thank for much of this. You pointed out to me awhile back that many traditional artists (painters, sculptors, etc) tend to concentrate on a single subject matter for awhile and produce a body of work around that rather than simply dividing work up into "beaches, deserts, mountains..." That little piece of advice gave me the green light to let my obsessions guide my work and I've created some of my best work as a result. So thank you.
Well done Nick... I completely understand your embarrassment about trying... you are a creative... not a salesman... keep up the good work... I just realised how old this video is.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It's very helpful for someone who is beginning in photography and thinking about printing my first photos. Super appreciate your work and channel. Cheers Jono
J E Barnsley my pleasure, Jono. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment.
Inspirational!
why am I feeling i was there! It was great video really.. and It's very beautiful to sharing your true passion with others.
Recently I've bought Mamiya RB67 and started to feeling that there was missing part in my life which has been filled now. I starting to follow your channel and to be honest the kind of things I'm learning from you is not technics and methods its just style and achieving my passions.
I'm looking forward to your channel. Tnx.
Well I looked through your galleries on your website and I have to say I don't really like your pictures but I absolutely love your videos. The production quality and editing are excellent, the content is interesting and informative, and you, personally seem to be a very likable, down to earth, humble and smart guy. You earned a subscriber.
marquezFTW thank you for the second half. I'm glad you enjoy the videos.
This video is really awesome. That's why I do photography, simply because i love it.
Un saludo desde Ecuador!
Víctor Vargas thank you very much! Amen to that. It ain't anything without the passion.
thanks so much for your videos! .. love your work
Abdulrahman Hadid it's my pleasure. Thank you for watching!
good advice in this video to new artist etc. who are thinking of doing art shows
