This is the last video from the series. Seems that I'm not getting any love from RUclips again, or maybe no one cares about this stuff enough? What are your thoughts? Any suggestions or requests?
I very much enjoyed this video, unfortunately RUclips keeps changing things for the worst, perhaps optimizing the video keywords and titles as well as the thumbnail to be click baity would help
I loved this! I'm looking much more into the human side of photography and what it takes to get the chance to be there for that moment. I think composition, gear, and all the technicals are important, however the most important thing is telling a story and capturing a meaningful moment. Loved your video!
by looking at your photos, i can feel how much you're telling a story out of it. it's not just beautiful because it looks "aesthetic" rather it tells a story and it's powerful unlike the other photographs im seeing from others. thank you for your work. you're inspiring. 🙏🏽
I often believe that if you look at it from afar - the only thing I do is point the camera in the correct direction and time my shutter press. However I realize more and more that I am not invisible and people do react to the camera and me behind it. Completely influencing the results. Photographing the same people every few weeks for half a decade doesn't get stale it seems. But you can end up with similar captures. I have never taken payment for any photos I took. Taking photos is a group activity to me and my reward for having fun while taking them is to also spent the time to edit and deliver them to the group. Giving them special memories that capture how an event felt. This week I am starting a photography seminar at my university and I am excited to 'learn properly' and most importantly - meet some new people.
Great photo's Mitchell and nice to hear a photographer talk through what makes the images work. On a separate note I do like the function on future Panasonic cameras (the GX9 & G9) to set a min shutter speed and leave the ISO on auto when shooting on AP mode.
Basically, it's important to take a genuine interest in the people you are photographing. Get to know them in the time you have to spend with them. Exercise tact. Be a human being!
@@mitchellkphotos Yeah, I was just summarizing/reiterating. Just bought your course and am very much looking forward to learning from you. You take really memorable photos.
I may give them a few photo prints if I'm working with them for a long while. Most people I have photographed, whether for long-term stories or just a quick portrait on the street, appear to be pleased that someone has taken an interest in them, that they are special enough to want to document their lives in some fashion.
Thanks for another interesting video. I would have just one question regarding the photo that you presented. You shot it at ISO100 which is only an Extended ISO in case of GX80, not a native one. Was there any particular reason for selecting it over Normal ISO 200? Thanks in advance for any feedback that you can give.
Hey, to be honest #1 there's no perceivable difference, #2 Since the shutter speed only goes to 4000 on this cam and there were some VERY bright moments, I just left it on ISO 100 to keep from overexposing and not to think about it. Sometimes the settings are not technically ideas, but the point is that we have a wider margin for error or before any perceivable quality difference in the image.
Mitchell, man I really like your content and your photography tips are simply amazing. This particular photo, and story is among my personal favorites from all of your work :) I hope you do find the time to share more in the future. Do you mind answering a question regarding the Leica 15 mm lens? I know you’ve switched over to full frame, but knowing that the 15 mm (30 in FF) was heavily used in your Panasonic days, and that you now use the Sony 35 mm a lot, do you find that the two focal lengths are similar, or does the 15 mm feel more like a 28 mm? Keep up the great work! 😊
The shot has a mathematical beauty to it. Comparing it to the other shots at this place it lacks emotional expression though. In my humble opinion the star at this place were the innocent smiles of the people. In this particular shot, I suppose, the boy was going to kiss the face of the sheep, but it lifted the legs.
That's precisely what I liked. That IS the emotional expression. I mean, it's interesting to get others' opinions, but I am very convinced in the photo I've chosen. No it's not about the innocent smiles, it's precisely about that moment in-betwee - the movement towards the little animal and then the struggle to hold it as it's wiggling out of Benjamin's arms. I guess I should have explained that part better - why I chose this particular moment.
Nice video as always! This photo, however, seems to be a little bit bottom heavy from a composition perspective. The trees on left and the bright spot in far background are somewhat distractive. I actually liked some of the views when you zoomed in during the video. Personally I would crop out the bright background and have a tighter frame. Overall the moment was amazing. I really love your work.
Yes, since it's a big part of my life, I told them pretty early on. They were not shy at all though. There's a Colombian movie industry, which occasionally filmed in their village (it's a beautiful historical setting) and the kids loved being extras in movies whenever they could. :)
@@mitchellkphotos Yeah, over the last years I've lost my passion for street photography. I want to capture more personal images. I love portraiture and I love the kind of work that you do. You lead the viewer into someone else's world. I find street photography kind of isolating. I'm not sure where to go and how to progress as a hobbyist with aspirations of creating something memorable.

Thanks for sharing your thought process. Always learning something new from your materials.
Very sad that this awesome videos dont get enough attention
yes I always watch you videos, and also I like your photography style more natural of travel photos.

Meeting people would be good after these couple of years. :)

Yeh that's what I said. Right? 🤣

@@Daniel_Zalman Thank you very much! :)

Yeh, always a good idea. There was no where to print in the town, but thankfully Isabela had some sort of a tablet, so uploaded everything there :)
Thank you for the wonderful video

Your works are great👌👌✌
Amazing video and justdid buy the course, very curious about what I will learn.
Thank you so much.

@@mitchellkphotos it's the smile of the goat..
It's very interesting Sir
Thank you
Very interesting video👌
Thanks
Great video. Totally off topic, but what’s that behind you to your left? A printer of some kind?
A shelf on one side and a portable fride on the other 😂

Thanks. And no, I totally disagree, but hey everyone is entitled to their opinion. 🙂
Did you explain that you are photographer? Or were they okay with a random gringo befriending them and taking photos and random moments?
Yes, since it's a big part of my life, I told them pretty early on. They were not shy at all though. There's a Colombian movie industry, which occasionally filmed in their village (it's a beautiful historical setting) and the kids loved being extras in movies whenever they could. :)
