Wow, what a talk. The mastery of the interview and the passion Dan talks is outstanding. Thank you, this is really inspiring. From Portugal I send you a hug. Cheers👍
When I watched the documentary about Salgado called "Salt of the Earth", it changed my whole outlook on photography, and what it is to be a photographer.
@@marcsilber A link to the documentary? I'm not sure where to find it online. I saw it a few years ago on DVD. I rented it from a local video store here in Atlanta.
I sought more from Milnor out, after listening to Raymond Hatfield's BPP #304. Now thinking seriously about hopping off Instagram, and shifting my use of Facebook away from showing my photos, as much as I love those "likes".
Thanks Marc, your videos are incredible! It's just crazy getting such quality content for free. I'm a graduate student in an unrelated field in my last year and thanks to your videos and Dan's advice, I'm planning to ditch Instagram etc. and focus on long term "offline" photography projects. And again thanks to your free videos, I'm able to educate myself on photography online and with photo books instead of going to a photography school that would probably cost a fortune. Sending a lot of love; looking forward to new content of yours!
Advancing Your Photography I don’t, I’d be interested though! However, I was on your website after I saw this video and I noticed that you’ve published some interesting books too.
Before this I associated 'photo stories' with being held hostage while somebody you know spends several hours showing you their holiday snaps. 'This is the pool. We could get there from our room in next to no time. And this is us, having lunch with Colin and Ruth, from Coventry. Lovely couple....' etc. This is a huge improvement 🙏
Green Morning Dragon Productions Oh man, when someone says “Oh, let me find this image on my phone,” I RUN the other way. So painful. You see them scrolling past thousands and thousands of images.

I am having so much fun on this channel! Thank you Marc! Oh I was surprised at your latest book. Very motivational “interviews” boiled down to “why’s”. I thought it was going to be a “how to” only. It’s in my camera bag.
Great video! thank you guys! Dan is great, I love watching his videos in your channel. I love his work and attitude toward photography. Keep it coming I love what you're doing.
Interesting and fantastic content , think its great how many people now are talking about slowing and pulling back from the instant on demand world that has been created . Love that dan is teaching people the old and traditional way of producing content and projects and talking about the importance of different skill sets in putting together projects and content ... he is very right in highlighting the need for methods and standards ... it seems we are to quick to drop old slower ways of working that produced a varied , interesting and high quality work , for speed and instant gratification ....
Advancing Your Photography The amount of info shared by Dan is just priceless. Imagine the countless no of hours lost in one searching for these info multiplied by the no of people who want similar information. Great work. Keep sharing !
Thanks so much for this video. Inspiring and yes I will do my research! Daniel is right on point in regard the disposability of the digital image. I don't post to Instagram because of the disposability and (pulp imagery?). I want to create work that is not viewed in a second or even three seconds.
This was for me the advice I have been searching for, for a long long time. Thank you AVP and Dan for opening up. These are gems that have been blanketed by the dusty internet. Thank you!
Dan, try inverting the center column on a tripod if you want an easy way to show turning through a book. It’s my current method for SLR film scanning. Great series guys, keep it up!
Great video lads. Very informative and very enjoyable. With all these lockdowns I have got bored of the usual RUclips photography channels and seems more gear related now a days. So I have stepped back from RUclips and social media. But this video is like music to my ears real photography conversations. I have recently thought of a project and start to do some research which will probably bring it in another direction now. But as Dan said do the research and it kinda makes the project more personal and opens the mind for other ideas. Projects get you out shooting even if you never do anything with them now you may in later years. Take care
5:20 This is an important point to understand, for me, who is planning a long(ish) term project of 3 years. DON'T instagram. I think what people often misunderstand is how potential customers view your work, if it's online. There's a young, and clearly talented photographer/film maker with a RUclips channel called Danny Gevirtz, who says DO post your photos/films all over social media, but he is, I think addressing people who are looking to become professional photographic "guns for hire". I could conceive Instagram might be of use in that way, but as I am looking to do a documentary project, I'm gonna avoid social media like the plague, regarding my actual output, and instead use it as a journal of my (hopefully) technical and artistic learning curve - showing how competent (or nor) I'm becoming in pressing the right buttons, and switches, and using things like natural light. Thank you, as always for a great online lecture.
Strike up conversations with street people and the homeless. I've been turned on to some excellent places to shoot photos from that I wouldn't have found by myself.
"Never share your project." So true, I made that mistake on a photography workshop where i had to share my project which ended badly because the other person did my project and shard it first at the end of the workshop. :(
Hello Dan, thanks for all your advice, and greetings from Chile. I'm studying geography and trying to get very serious about documentary photography, and all these videos are helping me out very nicely. I have a question for you though.. you talked about research in your third point, and I'd like to know what resources would you recommend us to check or try to find some more information about the topics that we're working on. Are these actual academic articles, photography books? What kind of stuff should we be looking online or in our local libraries. I know asking for a video is a LOT, but it'd be nice to see something like this video with regards of research and things that we should check out, and do before going out and shoot our projects. And again, thank you SO MUCH for all the videos and all the advice you guys are AMAZING!
Tomas, this is a combination, always. I love the mix of online and library. And if by chance there have been photography books done on the specific topic it is good to know what they are about and who was behind them. That way I don't repeat and if asked I can reference them in my work. Imagine doing a photography book project on Liberia and NOT knowing about this book.
Steve CLASSIC example. He shot something like 72.000 images for the book and they chose 53. That’s called editing. I saw his show, with enlarged contact sheets, in both London and NY and it was incredible in both places.
The advice at 12:00 is quite the opposite of the advice I got from the book I recently read called 'Show your work" by Austin Kleon. I am so confused now.
Daniel: Could you include a link or the last name for Todd the bookmaker in San Fran? Sounds intriguing, and want to learn more. BTW. Thanks for putting this together. I have a couple long term projects in flight and have gained some extremely valuable insight.
@@DANIELMILNOR505 More specifically I wrote in my notebook "Photography is the profound corner that sits between film and literature". Silly of me not to rewind back and get the name of who said it. Not I can't find where in the film you mentioned that. Maybe the above rings a bell?
@@DANIELMILNOR505 hahah oh my, looks like the lockdown has locked down my brain. After much deliberation, I found it! You didn't mention it. I had watched a video on Todd Hido, and HE quoted Lewis Baltz. So I guess when you mentioned Todd's work my mind went a bit nuts and scrambled everything together. Thanks anyway.
I also flatten my FB prints in Inferno. Loved the coincidence. But the thing is, every time I remove the prints, I’m overwhelmed with what’s on the page that happens to be open. It’s just so harrowing! Great series of videos. Thank you!
How do you maintain momentum with long term projects? I imagine you need to be totally dedicated and inspired by what you are working on. It must be extremely hard. How many photographers are going to make this kind of effort? Maybe we should start with more limited projects to test our ability to keep to it?
The key is find something you cant' stand NOT working on. Find something that haunts you in your free moments. That way, never need to worry about momentum.
I've dropped all social media except Twitter; would be great if you (or someone did it for you) kept your Twitter account up-to-date. Thanks, as always.
You would be surprised. And remember, law enforcement does not care. I've been stopped more time than I can count. In public spaces, well within in my rights. Each time you risk arrest.
Photographing in public in the U.S. is a right, and also protected by the 1st Amendment. How can outlawing photography in public places in the U.S. be made possible without skirting around that?
It is now but there is legislation on the books in at least three countries that would make photography in public places almost impossible. No faces, no places, no brands and no buildings. Even know, if you are doing a project in the parks in Paris you need model releases, location permits for each park and architectural permits for any building that appears in part or in full in the background. I ran into a Magnum photographer a few years ago who was attempting this project but gave up after realising he would never get the permits. A few celebrities have tried to copyright themselves in an attempt to deter the celeb stalker photographers. Once one succeeds then anyone can do it. You photograph in a public place and are now in copyright violation which is no laughing matter. There are certain photographers who make almost their entire living off of suing for infringement. Also, they are trying to pass legislation about recognizable brands.
The reality is the authorities often times don’t know the laws and they simple don’t care about your rights. They do what you want. I’ve been stopped from photographing in public dozens of times over the years. I’ve been punched, kicked, clubbed, run over by a police horse and illegally detained. They do what they want because they know they can. It’s only gotten worse under the current admin. No rules. Nobody looking. Obviously, lots of good men and women in law enforcement, border patrol, etc but their policies are suspect, for sure.
I dont see why it's a bad thing for a photographers work to remind you of someone else's and them not know who that person is because they never did research. I think that opinion is a little pompous and arrogant as its only photographers who are gonna pick up on that, the general public who view your work only cares about the image and the story it tells.
If I remember correctly, this was advice that was directed towards if you were showing your work to people in the industry trying to get it shown or printed. People who are deep in the photography world who would specifically know about these previous people's work. Yes, the general public might not know, but the people who you might be reaching out to in order to try and get your work out in the world probably will know is what Dan is saying.
@@jaredmills5159For sure! understand that, my issue with it though is much like a musician being compared to another , sometimes it is, and sometimes the musician may not have heard who they are being compared to at all. I mean if anything, if I did a photo project for a commercial magazine and people compared my work to say Annie Leibovitz, yet I'd never heard or seen her work, would that not be good indication to my employees that I have a good eye? I think it would be a shame to not get the job just because a few hardcore historians didn't think it was original, cos like I said! It's the general public that predominantly view these projects and buy the magazines, powerful content should surely be the primary objective, original or not. 🤷♂️... BTW, I'm only curious about this as I'm wanting to do a photo project/documentary on substance abuse and addiction, and ironically, I only came across this video whilst doing research. Lmao.
Be a real artist. Don't just do yet another animal X is dying out because of poor but noble community Y, or the pristine environment of Z is withering up. Yawn. Do something that isn't practically a trope or a cliche.
I wish the gentleman in the hat, yes YOU, would stop interjecting and breaking Milnor's train of thought. That's poor interviewing practice. Especially when there is nothing substantial to contribute to the subject. Otherwise, it was a good video to watch. Milnor had good advice, as always.
Ghost Town Sentinel Hey, it’s Marc’s channel. He’s the man. And what I love about Marc is that he is just as excited about snapping pics today than ever. That ain’t easy.....What you don’t know...there is a GoPro under that hat at ALL TIMES.
@@DANIELMILNOR505 .....I get it. Marc seems to be a good man with passion for the subject.....no qualms there. I was just pointing out that his passion and excitement carries him away. Interviewing is an art in its own right. Hope he keeps that in mind in his videos. His guests are top notch and that's why, and only why, I had subscribed to his channel. Kudos to him for that.
Your interviews just get better each time.
hey thanks Romie, I'm starting to get the hang of it! Hey us spread the word and pls send a video www.silberstudios.com/aypclub-2/

In the US that photographing in public bans would violate the First Amendment Free Speech clause. That won't come for a long time.
You would be surprised. And remember, law enforcement does not care. I've been stopped more time than I can count. In public spaces, well within in my rights. Each time you risk arrest.
