    Quick note... The audio is not as good as I'd like it. Had issues with the mic but sorted now. Also during conversation I keep saying yes when Mike is speaking. This is normal during conversation to convey that you're listening however in an interview / podcast style video is annoying. Something I only realised now and will try to control in future videos. cheers

      I think you're a natural at interviewing, Roman and it's like photography - you'll get even better with practice. Love this series, and hope you keep on with it.

      Those technical issues somehow gave the video a certain street vibe. But the link to Mike's RUclips channel seems to not working correctly. When I click on the link in your description I get an 404 error.

  • @geogu3images
    @geogu3images 11 месяцев назад +24

    Thanks Roman (and Mike), this is exactly the type of video that Photography RUclipsrs need to focus on. It’s very difficult yo get inside the head of a great photographer but you succeeded here, and without making it all about the gear. Mike made it clear that his M11-P was special to him, but implied it as a means to an end, not the end in itself. His short discussion on preferred field of view vs going on about his expensive lenses was also appreciated. I more appreciated hearing how he started as a photographer, how he embraced his passion for skating and patience with failure as a key to his success with gaining mastery. This is a keeper.

    • @karikaru
      @karikaru 11 месяцев назад +2

      Agreed. Mike seems wise beyond his years and seems to be a serious artist. It's not an easy person to be when all RUclips tends to be about selling gear and convincing you that the next lens or body is what's going to finally make you achieve your creative goals. I think there's this balance of going out and seeing what you find and shooting the pretty photos vs having a goal, a vision and going out to find it and capture it. I'm definitely way into the former and realizing my weakness is in my lack of focus. This video and one I just watched with Simon d'Entremont made me realize I could benefit from just sitting and physically writing out what's important to me in photography and why I do it.

    Loving this series Romain, please keep them coming. Watching this and hearing the comments about the amount of time it takes to find your own style is really refreshing - nice to hear photographers being open and honest about their area of expertise. This series is so unique, refreshing and enjoyable. It's become a must watch instantly for me. Please keep them coming. You've definitely found a true gem with them!

  • @westhalltv6412
    @westhalltv6412 11 месяцев назад +1

    This series is so fantastic, Roman. While the other videos have been great to watch, this interview with Mike really struck a chord with me. Activating novelty, having to deal with the feeling of diminished satisfaction as you progress in your craft, and skateboarding as a conditioner for getting used to failure were huge resonation points for me. So cool to have a quick video like this really bring things into perspective.

  • @tomgreiner88

  • @shjf1989
    @shjf1989 11 месяцев назад +6

    Really enjoyed this video and think this is turning into an amazing series. Was really struck by the way Mike said 4 photographers can go on the same walk and come back with completely different photos. I know it's obvious, but sometimes the uniqueness of personal taste and style can be overlooked. This is probably why this series is such compelling viewing: juxtaposing creative process; individual's 'eye', and personal shooting taste. Look forward to the next one 🙂

  • @trustnugget280
    @trustnugget280 11 месяцев назад +1

    I really loved this video and many answers resonated with me and my personal experiences with photography.
    Regarding what you said around minute 17:00: From time to time I like to look through my archive of the last 7 to 8 years of photography and randomly go through folders of photos I took from the time I picked up my own first camera to now. It's funny seeing a span of weeks and months of photos seeing arguably no improvements and then suddenly noticing a major leap from one month to the other. And as you progress through the years you'll see a mix of incremental and huge steps that accumulate to the massive difference there is between your first and your last photo.
    I invite everybody to do this at least once, not only for seeing your progression, but also for the memories you get to relieve through those, sometimes crappy, photos. :)

  • @charliejg
    @charliejg 11 месяцев назад

    Mike's point about continuously rising expectations for his work is key. This is true of any vocation. You look back at past successes and they seem less fantastic as you become more seasoned and strive to improve. In addition, his sentiment about "...it's not the kill, it's the thrill of the chase.."(thanks to Deep Purple!) I believe is important in order for the enjoyment of the whole experience to be sustained. Your last question might be the most important, especially given both of your answers. As an educator one of the hardest things to help students to understand is accepting failure and thinking in terms of the long game as you put it. But, the important piece is to analyze your failures so you can understand why they happened so you can apply that knowledge in the future. That is true learning. This was a really good interview Roman. I like hearing these points. When you see work on IG it's one dimensional. You don't know the mindset of the photographer. You don't know his/her evolution. These interviews bring a better insight into the mind of a photographer and a peak at their journey. That is really helpful to beginners because when you seeing work on IG you're seeing the after success. I think beginners need to hear about the journey to success to really understand what it takes. Thanks again for a great interview. Really liking this series so far. Have a great weekend! Oh, btw, the audio was fine. I understood everything and I have hearing issues! Take care...

    @MikeChudley. Mike is one my favourite street photographers and his comments about expectations keep on rising and not being satisfied with the photos you take really resonates with my at the moment.
    Looking forward to seeing the next episode.

    I do not find you're "yes" s annoying. By letting the interviewee know you're following their commentary, I think it helps them continue to flow with the thought.
    I enjoy these interview videos very much and find them very expansive to my ideas, approach, and understanding of fine photography. Also, contrasting your approach to theirs adds so much depth to the understanding of the principles involved. In this video the comments you made about "subject, composition, light" as opposed to "light, composition, subject" was so instructive. Thank you!!

    Even though I’ve read about the ‘Decisive Moment’ in photography many times over the years I never understood what that meant until seeing this episode. Mike is a wonderful and hugely inspiring photographer and I can’t wait to go out and try some of his methods (with my spin on it of course) Great series Roman, I’m learning a lot.

  • @carlmcneill1139
    @carlmcneill1139 11 месяцев назад

    I like his perspective on success and failure. I think he made a good point. You'd was good as well. I think someone who played sports would do well with sports photography. They understand what's going on and know how to anticipate the action. My dad was a preacher. I grew up going to church and we hardly ever missed. I've been to a lot of weddings. I think I could be good at wedding photography if I wanted to go that route. I don't though. That's a lot of work. I think if everyone looked within and thought of what could they apply to their photography that's outside of photography, they could come up with something that would help them be better. Good video.

    The readon i got into street is, after years of experimenting with different genres of photography i came to reslise i had barely ever taken a shot that hadn't been taken before and very likely better, than my effort.
    It isvthe highly individual nature, in the moment, of street that makes it worth while. While i still shoot for the pleasure of it, even on days when i dont get a keeper, knowing what i create is so individualistic and often all but impossible to exactly reproduce is what keeps me coming back to it.😊

    I am a very keen amateur photographer and a foaming-at-the-mouth CGI generalist. As much as I understand the concerns regarding AI, all AI can ever do as it 'progresses' is to become more adept at giving you what you want, and therefore less involved as a user experience. I think it's great that we have the ability to create images from text, but from my experience I cannot imagine ANYTHING less satisfying. The satisfaction I get from actually making a video or building a set in CGI is a gigantic chunk of why I do it. I have absolutely no interest in having an algorithm do 'the hard work' for me.
