I had a similar experience in India some years ago and it did transform my photographic journey. After India, the UK and other European countries all seemed tame and unexciting. I gave up being a street photographer in London and now spend all my available time in remote overseas locations, photographing tribal life, religious ceremonies and everyday people at work and play. All photographers have a journey to discover their own style and genre. I have found mine, but the challenge now is to document the life I see, in the limited time I have left.
Great video Mitchell! I especially like the comment about physical space. I think that's very challenging for some on the other side of the world to understand and also not one that most photographers mention. Thank you and saludos a Argentina! Enjoy the holiday with your parents.
Hey, check out Maria and the forest and her last video on the island of Senja! After I missed the spectacular aurora in Rondane Mountains and after watching this video, I decided we go to Senja after our trip to Nouvelle-Aquitaine next summer. After finishing Senja we move to France. Ps! The difference between Stockholm and Oslo for photographing people is quite dramatic, people are much more open to street photography in Stockholm than in Oslo. So the perfect trip for Scandinavia should be the axis Rondane Mountains - Sognefjorden Fjord, then the island of Senja, then street photography in Stockholm in combination with visiting Fotografiska! Nb! At Senja you might still find old fashioned Norwegians with character, so you might find someone interesting to photograph there. There still might be some real fishermen there, with traditional boats, called "sjark".
@@mitchellkphotos We have many clever landscape photographers, my favorite is Olemartin Evensen from the island of Abelvær. He's very hospitable, as I met him once. He mainly photograph the landscapes of the Helgelandskysten Coast. Petter Dass, one of our greatest poets, is from Helgeland.
Your photos and explanation are just insane! I relocated to India two years ago and everything that you said is 100% true, you nailed it! btw how did you achieve such an amazing color? This color reminds me Vilvia film. Are you shot on film?
People in Asia, SE Asia especially, like to have their photos taken. That is not the case everywhere in the world. In Africa, Morocco and Egypt for sure, that is not the case. Taking someone's photo in Morocco may incite an angry outburst, and at best they will want to be paid. In the US, taking the photo of a child may very well lead to violence or police involvement.
Photographed a lot in Morocco, wasn't pleasant, but never had a big drama, but yeh... I had to be MUCH more selective. USA - never been, but I can imagine, similar in Australia.
What is it about some cultures (like many areas in the U.S.) that makes people so angry and distrusting of a photographer? I wonder if that has been studied.
Love and respect from India,your photos are incredible 😊
You are. Reminder of steve maccucry

I kinda felt like the saturation was turned down when I returned to Australia 🤣
Thanks for sharing and educating. Stunning images.
Best photography channel. Period. 🙂👍🏼
Thank you Mitchell for sharing such wonderful photos, I believe you have enjoyed the journey very much and have a great harvest of different photos.
I loved photographing people in India.
So freaking amazing! Learning to look at the same old things differently!
Great to hear! :)
Great insights. Thanks for sharing. And paired with awesome images of course!
Stunning images as always…
Спасибо. Удачи!
Another absolutely outstanding video. Started watching you a few years ago before a trip to Portugal and you’ve been a huge inspiration!
Thank you very much!
beautiful photography

Are there important lessons you learned on your travels? What are they? Where were they learned? Share! :)

Not planning a trip to Scandinavia any time soon to be honest. One of my best friends in Norwegian, but we usually meet somewhere warm. :)

@@AleksandrDederer thank you. No. Just post processing. Mostly capture one pro.
Hey, please come and change Norway!
I just heard Argentina is the safest place to be for WWIII.
Didn't know, but I guess it was pretty safe during WWII. Lol

@@mitchellkphotos I actually saw a fist fight between a tourist and a local because the tourist took a photo of the local's horse and refused to pay.

USA seems not bad from the RUclips videos I've seen. I've actualy never been to USA.
Sir can I meet you?
@@abhineetprakash9089 sure. Come to south America. 🙂
