- In this video, I ask if we can define what traits lead to great artists because to believe in ourselves, we must first know what we're looking for.

Another great monologue! Thanks for addressing these valuable topics 👍🏾
Most certainly! Thank you for watching, and even more so for commenting 🙏🏼
Bro, I play your videos in the background while I'm working and it feels like therapy ahah. I've been really enjoying this new format of yours and really appreciate you sharing your thoughts and monologues. Hope all is well!
Yooo thank you!!! I'm hoping to continue to hone this comfortable and relaxing experience. I enjoy them, I hope there's more like you! Maybe one day I'll get to talk to a larger audience about Nuno being my "Day 1!!" And all is well up here in the north! Stoked to get to share what the summer time looks like this year! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.
@@mediamfilm It will definitely be interesting to witness the seasons changing in your videos and this might actually influence your message at the time - I know this happens to me sometimes! All is going well, thanks!
Having more daylight means more time to shoot so I can pursue more ambitious locations!!@@NunoAlmeidaPhotography
"What do we as artists possess?" For myself it's the joy of exploring and finding that extraordinary thing where some look past or may not have had the chance to look at until I was able to show them and more often than not surprise myself in the process. Your photo at 26:56 is amazing.
Dude that shot and the one right at 22:00 are my favorite from the roll. I really like that fact that I show every picture I take. It makes it clear how there’s normally only 3-5 decent images on a roll of 36.
And I agree, I think your gift is your curiosity. You have the urge to seek out something when others walk past. You ask the questions when other people just accept the truth. I’m interested to see how that changes over the next 5 years. Like, you can continue to explore, but undoubtedly, you’ll find something that grips you. Stuck focused on one thing rather than general exploration. What will that thing be? What will you find in it?
Emily Dickinson's quest was truth. Poetry is truth. So maybe we look for truth and fairness. Something genuine, innocent, naive with soul and heart like a melting snow.
But is truth not subjective? I guess maybe the only real truths are universal? And those are the ones we're searching for huh? What if the goal is to inspire thought? Maybe not to decide universal truths, but instead to help others discover their own subjective truths? Sometimes both sides of a contradiction can, in turn, be true? Like the answers illustrated here, the artist must believe in themselves, but this belief may only ever be arrogant. While arrogance is a negative objectively, it may be something important or required for the artist, subjectively positive?
I think poetry is not simply truth, but the ability to paint truth, no matter how ugly, beautifully. To convey thoughts or ideas in a way that can take what the artist, the original thinker, felt and transmit that to an observer. Text may transmit thoughts or ideas, but poetry can transmit feeling. I think that's what makes it art, not information. At least by Tolstoy's definition.
I think our life has the potential to belong to us, but I think that requires that we spend it in service of ourselves. If you work for your own wishes, building the life you so desperately desire, then you've spent that life in service to yourself, gifting yourself with what it is you desire. I think life is not guaranteed to you, but it is gifted. An alienable right that only you can control, in a privileged sense of course.
It makes me so happy to see that you spent the time to think and share your thoughts, I hope my comment sections become a regular place to do so.
@@mediamfilm truth is to be honest with ourself, I think. In photography, I dont have any answer why Im taking photographs. I like to make something beautiful from common or uglyness, even though I dont know what beauty means. I think Im trying to make trees speaking to each others, or reveals what we dont see or we forget to see. And contradiction is always more interesting than coherence.
You are young and you have a mature graze, speech, or simply you are fresh but what you say in your videos are simply the heart of everything, you have that skill. And it's always very deep and you bring me inspiration and I wanna take new photographs, and never give up. Some people give up, I dont know why, it's a collective fail. Sorry for my french-english
English isn’t your first language?!? I wouldn’t have known if you didn’t say so. You come across perfectly understandable.
Man, that’s such a big compliment. This channel is a combination of the things I’ve found people respond to well. Ideas and thoughts communicated in ways that help us all see things from a slightly new, yet comfortable perspective. To some degree I did feel like I could communicate well, but again, you never know if you just think you are when in reality you aren’t. So I’m glad, even in your second language, I’m communicating decent thoughts. ❤️
And I’m glad you’re not giving up. I think that I’m order to make great work, you have to spend a lifetime pursuing something. It’s a slowly but sure condition for sure.
Give me more dog. It's the dog for me bro. I love your dog. OMG so cute doggo. What's your dog's name? Can I pet your dog? Loving the dog fashion. I'm literally in love with your puppy. DO HE GOT THAT DAWG IN HIM?
