Without really trying is the whole point--to quote Yoda, "Do…or do not. There is no try." Thought is the enemy. That's not to say you should just spray and pray; you need to develop your own unique vision and become one with your gear so you just respond instinctively, rather than futzing around trying to get the right perspective and settings. That only comes with experience. You need to previsualize what you want from the print (the end product of the photographic process--not a post to social media) but that becomes more of a feeling than a long deliberation. As Alex alludes to, the time for analysis is during the curation/editing phase (post-processing RAW files being another essential part of the process). Now go out there and view the world with childlike wonder, and if something looks cool to you, just shoot it. There'll be plenty of time to think about it later (or not).
I enjoyed that read, thank you
Yes, kind of... if you put the time and effort into learning the gear and your composition and other techniques you'll develop a work flow that will become quicker the more you do it. But you can't skip the learning and practice until you know what when how to shoot to create the image you want. Just snapping anything that looks cool isn't going to make the picture look the same way you saw it.
@@daeph123 Agreed--that's what I meant by "that only comes with experience" and that experience starts with studying other work (including the "greats" not only in photography but other media, and not only viewing images but studying the philosophy driving artistic expression) and the process never truly ends. Thinking that "you're there" is a sign that your development has stagnated--true artists never stop evolving. Also, as camera and lenses "see" things differently from the human eye/visual cortex, you can never truly "make the picture look the same way you saw it" as you put it. You can try to "capture the essence" of what you saw or use it as a starting point for a completely different interpretation and it's not always obvious during the "recording" process which approach(es) you may pursue.
One of the worst things that happened to me was when I took that first photo that really turned out better than I could have dreamed. I had been practicing and improving and chasing images and captured a great shot. I soon became obsessed with getting another great shot or even a better shot. This produced failure after failure and I feared I may never get another comparable shot. I came close to giving up but that "giving up" turned out to be exactly what I needed. Then came the effortlessness you speak of. That turned my photography around and has been my philosophy ever since. Thank you for this great video.
Thanks for watching
Some of the best exposures that I've taken where a decision made in a split second.
The camera becomes an extension of your body, you don't need to think.
All the technical and artistic decision making very well ironed from all the failures that have been adding up and then they become almost ambient and the one focus is the fleeting moment you are to capture. The captured fleeting moment, talks for itself, no need to explain. That's when you know you got a good photo.
Truly one of the best channels. Always inspiring.
Thank you
Thank you so much for this. I'm in a winter slump and haven't been seeing things to photograph, so I'm definitely going to take your advice and try this. Thank you again!!

Excellent advice, it works.
A fine musician who I know told me that creativity cannot be forced, it can just be invited.
That's exactly what this is about .
Thank you ever so much for posting 😏
Thanks for watching
Photography is the music of life.
I love your channel! It is true, you can't win at art! I needed that
"Just happened." 😂 So true.
[I] wander all the time, [I] think[,] that's where the best thinking is done
Thanks to your channel I enjoy photography by simply taking my camera while I walk my dog and today I bought my first photo book. Thank you very much for providing this brand of philosophy towards RUclips photography
Thanks for watching.
you just told me the way I photograph 95% of the time. And somehow it made me proud of myself of not putting pressure on me. And on the other hand I fear that I am not even capable of putting a concept together.... but then again .... pressure sucks ;-)
Sometimes i went out to make photos without a specific destination. Often i can't find what i was looking for, so i flow thru the streets and „test the camera“. How does this look like true the lens? When back home, often days later, i import the files, look whats on the SD card and often i delete the whole bunch. But sometimes there are is one or more little gem which i love even years later …
Thank you very much Alex for this video,with such a good piece of advice and beatiful pics ! You're so right, we're putting ourselves so much pressure and I agree that destroys your creativity,let's be more present to what's happening now,following our instinct,our best master 🙏
This is so relaxing and reassuring. That I can take images without intent and creativity will flow without me even being aware of it. Thank you Alex once more. 🎉❤😊
Thank you
Nice vid, some real truths here. Reminds me of CS Lewis, who said something like this: '..In art, no man who cares about originality will ever be original. It's the man who's only thinking about doing a good job and telling the truth that ever becomes original, and doesn't notice it. Even in social life you can't make a good impression on other people until you stop thinking about what kind of impression you will make.'
Thanks for the inspiration😇
This is so true in all my art. I took up painting to improve my photography, and it went both ways as photography also helps my art. I am so grateful I found your site. Thank you.
That’s awesome, thank you for watching.
I like the white on black photographer accreditations.
Thanks Alex, that’s exactly how I approach my photography, can’t do with studio set ups using this type of photography was the essence of HCB’s work!
Thank you
These chats are so refreshing
Thank you. All the best. 👍📷😎
Grew up watching Absolom, and other Australian adventurers ❤
Bedankt, thank you for this great video. Hans
Actually, I love going with the flow, especially when I visit a place for the first time. Did not know, this is "recommendation-worthy", though ;-)
Another good one Alex. If I can paraphrase what I think I learnt here, take a chill pill, slow down, smell the flowers, what do you see that you want to highlight for yourself? Maybe others will appreciate it, maybe not. In my case, probably not! ;-))
As I sit here with snow falling outside, I just keep looking and wondering if I can capture snow falling in an image...
thanks again.
That’s awesome.
Really liked the content of this video and gained a lot from it. The only issue was some of the background music was distracting and too loud it was overshadowing what you were saying. Just my opinion of course. 😀
Thank you
I love you so much for this, thank you
☺️ thank you
As always, your videos are very enjoyable. Your style of presentation reminds me of Ronnie Corbett.
That’s hilarious, I’m assuming you mean those little dialogues that he did sitting on the black chair! thank you ever so much for watching
love your videos but not so much the Facebook page I don't and will not post there anymore I have removed all of my content there. keep the good videos coming I really enjoy watching your videos and your videos are very encouraging:)
Thank you
I have a book by Jack Absalom. It's about outdoor cooking, not exactly barbequing.
Hello Alex, I just came across your channel by accident and I have to say your content and way of presenting is very engaging, so I subscribe you. I do photography me my own, and I have small photo gallery in Mexico where are live since 2014. In my opinion you have one of the best photographic spaces here on youtube, plain and simple with lots of inspiring ideas and photographic works. Well Done.
That’s wonderful to hear. Thank you ever so much. Whereabouts are you viewing from
@@ThePhotographicEye I live in San Cristobal de Las Casas in Mexico, however I spent 8 years in UK, where i completed my photographic diploma as well as Interior design diploma, and to be honest before I started to study photography I would never expect that this would change my life as it did.
informative 9mins.
Jack Absalom! How did you find him 👏🏻. He is one of 5 of the “Brushmen of the Bush “. Another one of the group, John Pickup was based in Mackay ( my town) for sometime and was also a talented radio presenter. Pro Hart was probably the most famous of the group. Oh.. love your thoughts in this vid! Thankyou.
Great video. Edit went a bit weird at 2:38 though! Love the channel. 😊
Thanks - have no idea what happened there! It was fine when uploaded...
@@alexkilbee1837 ah well, life goes on!!
For me when I am out about shooting street photography, I always allow myself to feel the energy of people and observe their pattern as they move like ants.
In between that flow I find something forming that creates a moment of opportunity.
How to awesome?
Thanks! Fixed :)
