The most relatable conversation about the balance of your actual day job with the photo work. Really refreshing to hear someone talk about a situation so similar to myself
Thank you for this video, Matej 👏 It's fabulous to see Sam featured here. It's very interesting to watch people's photography journey. I'm proud to be an Australian when the rest of the world is introduced to someone as talented, kind, and humble as Sam 🇦🇺
So excited to see this pop up in my feed! I’m also a Sydney street photographer, and Sam is arguably my greatest inspiration in my efforts to improve what I see on the streets and try to make more engaging pictures. I appreciate what you do, Matej, and thanks for highlighting an Aussie on your great channel! ✌️
Such a great photographer! Extremely strong understanding of composition and light... I might now understand why I like so many australian photographers, the light is very special there. Thanks for filming this!
he's very enjoyable to watch, he has a good presence and i do enjoy his work! I can't imagine having a family on top of work and still making time to shoot street! for quite a long time i was shooting manual and it's fun to see how others shoot manual as well. i have always been more of a f2 - 5.6 and a higher shutter speed instead of a f8-f16 and lower shutter speed just because i enjoy the depth of field and super sharp subject, i'm ok if some people are out of focus in the frame. Good Series!
Some beautiful pictures and commentary. I can relate. I'm in Perth WA and feel a bit isolated. Don't know any other photographers to do street with, but my photography is a great release and brings much joy. I'm also a full-time high school teacher and also love my job. I wouldn't want to be a full-time pro, but I do quite a bit of paid work with my photography. The lady in Perth who organises all the big events in the city, throughout the year, I'm her photographer, for all of these big events. I'm also the photographer for Dragon Boats Western Australia. I shoot their regattas and national events. I also do portraits and private gigs. It's a wonderful life, not just the extra money that is nice, but the sense of accomplishment. Also with my press pass, I get to meet lots of really interesting people and get into places where others can't go. Photography is a real ticket to the world.

Never would've organically found this on RUclips, luckily spotted it on Sam's stories as I'm a big fan. RUclips algo needs a lot of work.
Thank you for this video, Matej 👏

I was one of the admins who ran the fortnightly challenge for the Street Photography Community on Flickr that Sam mentioned....good days.
Great video. And Sam mentioned Flickr. Hey, lets make Flickr great again!
Let's stop making things great again...
@@DirkMenker yes maybe you are right. It can end so wrong... :(

The guy saying he’s willing to go to jail if you take his picture… so dramatic 🤣. Some people can’t get out of their own way.
The guy was definitely not in a right state of mind, was actually surprised I was able to keep filming throughout that haha
I would just have to take it then....it's like a dare.
How unstable are people today.
As things are going in the US - it will only get worse.
