I am now trying to navigate through grief from the passing of my Wife. We photographed weddings together for over 25 years. I have many fond memories of those days. I am now trying to find meaning, purpose and self identity of my future. This video has given me some ideas of a pathway forward. Thank you.
Sean - a truly beautiful, heartfelt and inspirational film with a photographer that just oozes honesty and humanity not just through his images but his stories as well. Thank you Paul for your work in recording so many people that have stories to tell.
Fabulous work Paul, you have a tremendous gift. Thank you too Sean for introducing Paul's work to us in such an artistic way. You've done this several times with photographers that I've not heard of before, and it starts a journey of discovery, checking out their websites, books, instagram etc. Your videos will be just as important a legacy as your print work.
Absolutely loved this video, the work of Paul Hutson, has inspired me to restart my diversity project. Once again thanks for this video collaboration between you and Paul Hutson.
Wow, this really resonated with me Sean. What a fantastic storyteller. His comments on lacking confidence during that awful recession, isolation at work and his great self awareness of his own mental health really resonated. What a great guy. What a lovely way to remember his friend by dedicating the book.
Amazingly organised and clean house. White gloves and archival boxes appreciated. The weight of our archives can seem overwhelming - having a trusted friend with a great eye can help immensely.
This really has hit a nerve, Paul has done for years that I’m only venturing down now. To capture the essence of the individual not only to see them but why I wanted to photograph them in the first place. Definitely inspired!
Paul is a wonderful human being and talent and an example of where the two things collide in taking great portrait photography. I am so glad to see this unsung hero of photography brought to the fore. The John Lalley portraits and Paul's testament to him in words and pictures brought tears to my eyes.
What a great film 😍 Paul is an ex school chum of mine from 1970s Lincolnshire and I'm really proud of him and a great admirer of his work and, moreover, his positive outlook on life. Inspirational 👍🏼
I have a lovely feeling every time one of your videos appear. Your sincerity to fellow people is heartwarming, just allowing them to share a story about how things came to be is unique. Thanks for sharing these stories told by themselves. Recently Mali had a video about " No Ego " which to me sums you up well. You could be the only " Photographic Psychiatrist " out there. Great video sean.
Wonderful film Sean. Hearing Paul's thoughts and seeing his photography, shows how true meaning, and a genuine want to understand people and life can be beautiful in photography. So much resonates with me from his early days of working life. Thank you Sean, an excellent film.
Paul is an inspiration based on his approach and his ability to tell his and others story in a captivating manner. Whether it comes naturally or is a skill he has taught himself it was a gift to hear him talk with passion about his own work with humility and excitement, while giving us a glimpse into his life and work.
I thought this was an absolute triumph of a film, so inspirational for someone like me who finds it really daunting taking images of people. Superb Sean and Paul.
I am taking a sabbatical from working as a psychotherapist. I probably won't go back to that career at least not clinically. I've been thinking about taking psychological portraits of people, getting them to talk about their lives and getting bursts of emotion that can be photographed. It could be really therapeutic for the person. This is super interesting to me. It's literally where my head is at right now.
Fascinating story of a portrait master. Its clear that from Paul and his story that a genuine interest in people and taking time to connect with the subject is essential to successful portrait photography. Thanks for an insightful video. 👏🙂
Wow, after watching this video I noticed in each photo that eyes of a subject shows some kind of a trust and calamity because I think they feel more relaxed after short or long conversation that makes them feel less unpleasant when someone points the camera in your face... remarkable inspiring but in my case and today s speed of life sounds really brave to approach people on the streets as a photographer and get to know them a little bit better before asking them to pose...I hope I will come that point sometime before i die...
Great to see you again; was just thinking of you and how it has been awhile since your last video, or so it seems.

Very inspiring. Also because I've been collecting portraits of people over the years, the same way that Paul did. Without really knowing why I make them, I just enjoy the process. As those models and myself get older, I realized that those portraits are just an excuse to get closer of people I found interesting at the time. This video made me realize that it is ok to not know why I make those, if this is what makes me feel good on the moment.
What a wonderful man and great interview. I can totally relate to Paul, also married young at 21 with similar circumstances. I'll definitely buy his book.
Sean Tucker, Thank you. For presenting this truly inspiring video. Thank you for introducing Mr. Paul Hutson to us all. His portraits of this beautiful people he know and has known swell. It is often a hard thing to look back at the people we once knew and those who have left us as well. I'm so, great full that we have both you and Paul. God Bless you both. Roger
Feeling low on a Sunday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. in the winter, that's how I felt since the age of seven. I was a key reason for leaving England, that constant sense of gloom.
So very true. My sweet little camera has been a very therapeutic friend and helped me get through, some very trying times. Thank you, for a beautiful video and adding a different aspect to photography.
What an amazing interview - very inspiring indeed. And those portraits are nothing less than stunning: very personal, very intimate! Thank you Paul and Sean for this!
This is great. I hope Paul continues to release work. I create work to help my mental health as well. I create portraits through Zoom and also still images (selfies) that people send me due to my social anxiety.
Wow. Truly inspiring video (perhaps exactly what I needed at this point to be honest). Your friend Paul is amazing artist. And seems like incredible person as well. Thank you for sharing this video, Sean. Cheers 😊
Thank you so much for this fabulous video. I'd never heard of Paul till now (sorry Paul) but your video introduced him perfectly. He seems a lovely calm man and I can understand how people are happy to allow him into their lives to record such great images. I've photographed many people professionally over the years but have fallen into the rut of losing the inspiration to keep doing it. Maybe this video and listening to Paul will be the kick up the backside I need!!
Thank you for another insightful interview. I love you black and white portraits. Currently practicing lighting and I am using your work as a starting point for inspiration. Thank you.🙏🏾
Thanks, Sean and Paul. I'm currently writing something on photography, mental well-being, and spirituality so found this particular take on how wellbeing and photography intersect both serendipitous and interesting. Will check out Paul's site.
@seantuck I notice Paul shoots mostly full body portraits rather than headshots. I love both and guess just a creative decision on meeting the subject. Guessing if you have the subject in their environment then good to include in the story, but if a chance meeting on the street then more intimate shot maybe? Love to know your thoughts.
This is another brilliant video-simply the best. I would love a video from you someday on how to publish a book-either self-publishing or whatever. Thanks!
Thank you for another wonderful video. I appreciate the time and effort you put into each new work. I don't rush to watch everything you do. When the notification comes up, I set it aside until I have some time to savour it properly. Such a gift in a world over-full of eye-candy and quick-hits.
Beautiful. I love learning about how intentional art lifts and impacts in such personal ways. Photography has enhanced my courage and curiosity. I am grateful.
Hi Sean. 'The Polaroids' by Andre Kertesz is a book that came to mind after watching this thoughtful video about how photography can be a conduit to express one self and navigate the paths of loss, trauma or depression. Have a good week.
I was going to say "what an interesting conversation", but once you got him talking you just let him go. Great technique. And the photos weren't bad either! It annoys me that after about 55 years of taking photos I can't get anything of that quality. But then again, I don't have the gift of the gab... I thought the portrait of you at the beginning was most appropriate as, if my aging memory is correct, you once studied to take the cloth.
Yo Paul !!!! I really enjoy Your Editing Style!! n Your Story!!!! :) :) ThankYou for another great Vid SEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW Inspiring (Me @72yo) Thanks to Both of You !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
The documentaries I do on other photographers tend to be longer, and I prefer to save the time to hear from them... but there will be plenty more 'quotey' openings to come on future videos;)
Basically the lens (a Carl Zeiss Planar f/3.5) on the Rolleiflex is old and made when rendering of contrast was much softer. Plus as Sean says, using film and developing it for tonal range rather than contrast amplifies that effect. Focus is still important of course, but the overall result is a gentle tonal range and overall 'softness' to the print which I like.
@seantuck ues thank you and plus you mentioned all them at the end of the video.. my names Jason I'll share it today.. that story hit me... thank you guys
I love your videos. But to be frank? The advice he is giving portrait photographers is pretty standard basic advice: any portrait photographer, or person interested in doing portrait photography, is usually very curious about people.

I'm sure you will. Go for it! Time is precious, and so are most people!
I think it is rare to find an artist with so much creativity, empathy and humility. What a wonderful and generous insight into the human condition.

So inspiring! Thank you.
Very interesting video and beautiful portraits 😍
You need deep and sincere emotions to connect with others to really trust you with their portraits ...
Another fabulous interview. Thank you.
Lovely work by a lovely and inspiring man.
Wonderful interview!

Jackpot!
Hi Sean.
'The Polaroids' by Andre Kertesz is a book that came to mind after watching this thoughtful video about how photography can be a conduit to express one self and navigate the paths of loss, trauma or depression.
Have a good week.
Amazing ~~
good to know I am on the right track
Get out. Connect. Make a book...yes! Thanks!
Love this video.
Sean, was wondering if you had read much on Phototherapy and Therapeutic photography. I recently read about them and found it fascinating.
Only a little, but I think any therapeutic approach which includes opportunity for creative outlet and expression can be powerful.
I was going to say "what an interesting conversation", but once you got him talking you just let him go. Great technique.
And the photos weren't bad either! It annoys me that after about 55 years of taking photos I can't get anything of that quality. But then again, I don't have the gift of the gab...
I thought the portrait of you at the beginning was most appropriate as, if my aging memory is correct, you once studied to take the cloth.

Miss your usual starting.. some good messages on some of your best landscape videos.
The documentaries I do on other photographers tend to be longer, and I prefer to save the time to hear from them... but there will be plenty more 'quotey' openings to come on future videos;)
@@seantuck you are absolutely right Sean. Thanks for another great video.
Triumph Triton!
Think it's a kawasaki triple two stroke.
@@davebrown2332 Nottsure.
I will be practical here. Im unable to get soft tones but still sharp like his photographs and it triggers me. How to get that render.
Well these were shot on film, so that might have something to do with it. Send Paul an email. I'm sure he would be happy to chat about it.

Is there any way I can get a hold of him and you. I did a little writing about what photography has done for me, and I'd like to share with you two.
Feel free to share it with me using the email Sean included below his video.
Paul's email and website are in the description, and you can find mine on my website also listed.
@seantuck ues thank you and plus you mentioned all them at the end of the video.. my names Jason I'll share it today.. that story hit me... thank you guys
It must be nice not being stressed by being around other people. That action would just give me an anxiety disorder.
Try wildlife/nature or maybe landscape photography
I love your videos. But to be frank? The advice he is giving portrait photographers is pretty standard basic advice: any portrait photographer, or person interested in doing portrait photography, is usually very curious about people.
aimentalhealthadvisor AI fixes this. Portrait photography impacts mental health.
