    What Sean is doing for the photography community will be remembered. He's the living example that you can have a profitable business while creating quality free content for people that want to learn. No bs, no clickbait, no gear wars, just art and knowledge.
    Thank you Samuel for uploading this.

      @@maxbashyrov5785 Since when "knowing theory" is important for a form of art? It is not about me "feeling offended or not": it's about you showing a lot of ignorance about art, about art history, THAT IS A FACT. Do some research about the great masters of photography, or painting. A work of art speaks openly, obviously, directly, to your heart and mind based or not on "theory". How much did Van Gogh know about "theory", how many university courses did he attend in order to learn painting "theory"?.. THAT'S A FACT. Do you have some idea how many paintings did he sell while still being alive? THAT'S ANOTHER FACT. Again, please tell us where we can see your photographic work so we all "can finally understand the importance of theory in photography", so we can finally see how all of your "FACTS" are based on the reality of the quality of your work as a photographer... and that is the final "FACT".

      @@AlejandroRamos-im4to Ehm. Knowing theory is important in any form of art, I'm not even sure who would question that.
      It is also important, when you're lecturing a big audience (this is the case I pointed out here).
      Thinking of a theory as an obstacle of some sort on the way to Creativity is pretty common, unfortunately, not only in photography. But you can still have a piece of work that is enjoyable without having a knowledge and/or laboring under delusions.
      BTW, don't bother using those cheap polemical tricks with me (speaking on behalf of others, getting personal, introducing some irrelevant comparisons etc.), it won't work.

      Always annoyed me, when i saw youtubers who recommend full frame sensors for the "cinematic" look. Most movies were shot on super35 which is closer to a canon rebel than a 1dx.

    At about 38 minutes, when Sean remarks that his Ricoh "just becomes a scrapbooking tool", that "not every shot has to be a keeper, or a print, or go in a book... it's just shoot stuff you find interesting even if you don't know why, and then look at it later and think about it, and then maybe you learnt something"... That resonates a lot with me and how I approach photography when I'm out and about (and people wonder why I carry one or two pocketable cameras with me, heh heh).

    Facts shooting in manual will allow you to get the shots exactly what you visualize.

  • @john_in_Berlin
    @john_in_Berlin 3 года назад

    A lot of similarities here to how I like to engage my environment. Visual notes for later. Not wanting to wait too long. Not wanting to "shoot people" up too close (but also not be sneaky). Wanting to get the "full stride" with burst mode! :-) And having the one methodology (street) influence the other (studio). Great stuff here, Samuel. And now I'm thinking about the GRIII again instead of the X100V, because I'm also one who loves to move fast and not carry anything resembling "gear". Thanks for holding on that scene where he's "dialing down" to create that half-moon highlight. This is exactly what I do while out and about here in Berlin - and it was helpful seeing how to "work" the features of the GRIII. Really like this guy. Now I understand the hype: he's an articulate, thoughtful human being creating beautiful images. Thanks!

    • @georgekamenov_
      @georgekamenov_ 4 года назад +8

      Because in most cases I find people's taste of photography is much better than their skill level at the time. I personally think it's natural to be able to appreciate a great scene once it's already been captured but having to be the one that brings out what makes it special on your own is a completely different beast. Thing is, the more you do it and the more you start getting "keeper shots" of your own it makes it that much more satisfying, that's the case for me at least :D

    • @delukxy
      @delukxy 4 года назад +2

      @@georgekamenov_ Basically true of course but I wasn't really talking about the stills taken and adjusted with a bit of editing magic. It was during the video walk around when you said to yourself "that would have made a nice shot" or "you missed an opportunity there". The skill is seeing the shot and knowing how to capture it. Not many of us are as analytical as Sean about knowing what those special factors are that make his and other photographers just that bit special. I include you too Samuel but I think you made it obvious that you too were learning alongside us throughout the video. I'm hardly out of pre school!

      @neneodonkor 4 года назад +1

      @@delukxy it comes with experience to be able to quickly identify a scene. When you shoot a lot with purpose, your senses heighten, and you easily identify scenes that you would have passed by. That's why when you watch videos like this don't worry about not getting the scenes. Focus more on understanding the principles.
      For example, Sean said when he is shooting in the streets he focused on lights and shadows and not people. After he did it a while he realized that he could transfer what learned from the streets into his portrait shoots.
      Don't worry now. You will get it eventually. I don't own a camera yet but watching these stuff make me see the world differently. Try to see the world in your eyes. Yes learn from the pros but always ask how can I use the knowledge the have to tell my own story.
      That's why I like it when Sean always say do what you want to do not because some one says so.

    • @mar1446
      @mar1446 4 года назад +1

      it's because you are watching the video attentively and are relaxed. when you're in the street your focus is much more occupied by the environment and your mind, and you aren't as relaxed. These are things that you learn with experience and being in the moment when you're shooting street takes time.

    Loved everything, but that explanation about cinema, light, DoF and portraits really changed my perspective. Fantastic, Samuel. Thanks. Sean was great as always.

    I like how you profile street photographers who have different styles and preferences. Thank you for your work.

    That intro leading up to Sean interview was incredible.

    I’ve become such a fan of his work, I tend to do my own thing when I shoot but I really want to take what I’ve seen with light and shadows in street photography and just focus on that for a day or two walking around. Imitating other people’s style is a great tool for me at least to learn how to do things. Another excellent episode
