In this video I sit down with my friend Mavis CW who shoots street photography using her Leica M6 and Kodak Tri-X. She told me about why she loves the process of shooting and developing film and what it adds to her work as a street photographer.

Your RUclips offerings can definitely be classed as an island amidst this sea of noise.
I have to agree with you. The vast majority of the RUclips vlogs are about camera gear and technical capabilities, not about photography. Sad when talent such as Sean, Mavis, etc are drowned in the sea of mediocrity and camera talk.
I agree
100% agree. These are top-notch documentaries.
So true
Dr. Feelicks So easily true!!
One of the best free educators on the platform. Keep doing your thing man. Helping so many people out.
Bryan Birks the beautiful thing about his work too is if you follow a lot of other photo/video creators you can tell when a video is pretty much a ad for stuff and just fluff. These videos feel like you’re sitting in a coffee shop having a in depth conversation about the art of photography. It’s refreshing as hell.
Some of the photos at the end of the video literally gave me goosebumps! Inspiring.
I can relate to the butterflies when pulling the negatives out of the spool. It makes me a little giddy knowing I got the image, and also that I nailed the developing. I love film photography and digital. They both have their merits.
Mavis has put into words my exact feelings. I'm 53, been taking photos since 1979 on film and digital. Mavis has put into words what I have been experiencing since I was 14 and given a SRT101. The magic of developing that first roll of film, the smells of the chemicals, the excitement of the enlarger, watching the image appear on paper. That is the soul of film photography. Today, nothing is more satisfying than putting that roll of film into my AE1P or RB67 and walking out the door to explore and capture life. Digital is a whole different set of magic, but to me, it just isn't film. Thank you Sean, and THANK YOU Mavis! wonderful video, excellent story and now, where is that roll of film, time to make some magic!!!
The thing I most appreciate about your videos is that they are never shallow.
Always been a fan of her work street work!!!!!
But the fact that you actually got her to be a guest on your video and let her talk about her process of street photography makes in even more interesting to watch!!!!!
Your channel has always been my favorite to go through, whether watching your newly uploaded videos, or even going through your old ones over and over again!!!!
Thank you for allowing me and others to follow along as you go in new directions in your photography and film making. It makes photography more fun for me.
Sean? Tri-X? Excited now!!!
Thanks buddy:) I'm more of a Fomapan guy myself, but Mavis's images are a great advocate for Tri X!
Fantastic photographer! Thank you for making us discover her fabulous work.
Just watched this again today. Been following Mavis ever since you put this video out. She's a big part of the reason why I now shoot almost exclusively black and white film with my M3. Thanks again, Sean.
What a beautiful film, the aesthetic, movement, music and everything else just fits so well with Mavis's work.
Humble, articulate and talented. Lovely person. Thanks.
Thumbs down? Each to their own, but I enjoyed this immensely. Her passion for her craft really shines through and the subject matter is brilliant. Some real gems in her work, particularly the the steamy 'LOVE' window shot.
Where do you find these fascinating people? Mavis, Gabrielle Motola, etc. Wonderful stories! Thank you Sean!!
Mavis is absolutely amazing. Thanks for introducing me to her work.
I am thoroughly moved by the artist’s desire to illuminate a a mere snapshot of truth, and to allow others the opportunity to extrapolate the moment to fit their own truth. Beautifully told!
I don't have enough words to thank this. I'm following @onechapter since a while so when I saw you made a video about her work with film... pure bliss!
I really appreciate the fact that the style of the video is so congruent with the style of the photographer's work. I'm always very impressed with the quality of content from this channel. Thanks for another fantastic video.
Thanks for noticing:)
Perfectly worded 👍
Out of the thousands of hours of photo videos i've watched
this is my favorite by far.
Just a year and a half and Mavis' photography looks so purposeful and mature. Incredible. An easy follow for inspiration on IG, thanks Sean.
Inspiring. Thank you Mavis and Sean!
The video game is on point, Sean! Love the music as well. It fits so perfectly with the vibe she brings. She's a great photographer as well!
At 17:50 when she talks about the moment she pulls the negatives while they are still drying and she gets butterflies: Wow! Did that bring back memories of my film days! There is something about shooting on film where you get a lot fewer chances to get it right. She captured it! And there is nothing like holding up that negative and then getting antsy to get into the dark room and develop that photo. Thanks, Sean, for another great video and sharing another great photographer with us.
You can feel her passion for what she does. Great images, great video, great photographer. Thank you for the inspiration 🤓
An inspiring film and excellent follow-up to your last video on consistency. I love how you've graded this to fit with the aesthetic of Mavis' beautiful work.
Great work, both of you. Great reminder to everyone hung up on GAS, it is the eye and the photographer's skills that create great images, not the camera. Forget about megapixels, noise, bokeh, etc, just go out to create great images like Mavis!
Beautiful black and white photography. I love that she gets so much joy from the process. Regardless of what you use to take your photographs you should enjoy the experience!Great video as always!
Sean, I really love that you spend the time to highlight the work of other photographers. Watching your channel I’ve learned a few things about how I can improve my own photography and how I can discover what fulfills me. But these videos that you make on other photographers really adds something special to that learning experience. You can really get a sense of who these people are and what they do in your videos.
I always get excited when I see you’ve uploaded a new video. But I get extra excited when I see you’ve uploaded a video on another photographer because I know how enriching the experience will be to hear about how they go about their work.
Basically I love your videos and can’t wait to see what you will do next.
I really enjoy that it wasn't a real interview with questions and conversations and interruptions. He was silent and let her speak. Hearing that she is that fresh to it all is really amazing for what she's already hacking at. She has a lot of potential, and I hope it pays off for her.
When I think Sean can't surprise me anymore with the quality of his content he comes up with this. Such an inspirational video.
Wagner Jacobson what’s something here surprising? It was a video about Mavis and her work... with Sean going back and forth between bashing and praising film photography, critical and seemingly bitter at some film shooters.
Her work is so great, I love it. I love shooting film, it's so much fun and forces me to slow down and shoot with intent. Which everyone should do anyway. I can get lazy with digital.
You’ve created such a beautiful film, Sean. Thank you.
Dear Sean, these series you do with other photographers are GOLD. I get so excited when I see new videos released from you... It's so inspiring... Thank you for everything!
Another great video. Really enjoyed hearing Mavis CW talk about her photography and seeing her incredible photos.
Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing her talent, Sean.
Oh, what a great photographer and a beautiful inspiring woman, talking about her love for film photography. Thanks for sharing those nice 21:02 minutes!!
I really liked this video and reflects what I'm feeling at the moment about film photography. A lovely woman telling her experience of capturing a moment.
Incredible work that creates not just a pleasing look to the eye but capturing a perfect moment in time with a story.
Thank you Sean for introducing this incredibly talented photographer.
I am speechless, there is so much to *see* in every shot.. i've paused on every photos and I let myself be enchanted by each of them while I was reading their stories...
Simply amazing!!!! The words can not describe the joy I am getting from your videos! THANK YOU!!!
What beautiful work! Rich and textured and graphic. I love it. I'm also glad to hear you're working with film again. Like your guest, I love the process of film from loading film to working with the old mechanical cameras on down to developing and seeing those negatives for the first time.
Sean Tucker..You continue to outdo yourself,with intelligent,creative content,and it's refreshing,to see intelligent,talented people not worried about gear,opinions,and childish banter about camera brands/formats..Thank you...
Thanks Michael.
Wow, I think she's my spirit animal! The whole point why she choses film over digital - I could not said it better.
This was a great interview. I enjoyed her very much.
Mavis is incredible talented and inspiring! Thank you Sean for making this lovely film!
Beautiful presentation, wonderful background music, breathtaking results!
Sean the only word i have for your channel is "powerful"!!! I believe your years of church service have found a new way to preach and behold something genuine in this world. I greatly appreciate every carefully chosen word, subject or person that you expose us to. I just want to thank you for continually inspiring me to look at this medium in different ways and challenging us to not just point and shoot, so thank you!
Thanks my friend.
wow only 1.5 years of practice with film and get these results, stunning. Loved the b&w video too, beautiful.
Practice in general is good, the film part doesn’t matter much
Thanks for sharing Mavis’ inspiring work.
Scott said it perfect. Sean thank you for the content from a real professional. The hype channels on youtube are great for entertainment value but lack knowledge I am looking from a real artist. Thanks.
One day I will be able to completely watch one of your RUclips videos without being so inspired it brings me to tears. May God continue to bless you richly! What an amazing gift to the world :-)
The best and most interesting channel on photography (that I have come across) by a country mile, thank you Sean
Epic video. As someone who trained and and comes from film, but hasn't shot a roll in 20+ years, this was such an inspiration for what I remember loving about the "process" of shooting film.
Love, Love, Love this video. As an early experimenter with film I found Mavis inspiring and was shocked to hear she's only been at it for a year and a half.
This channel is one of the very few with value
Man I didn't know about her and I am glad you introduced us! Her work is inspiring as a film shooter myself. I also like the way she talks, you can tell she is thinking about every word. Not because she is unsure of herself, but rather because she is contemplative and in touch with her own thoughts and emotions.
Love this video and also the idea of continuing to hold the camera to your eye after taking the photo.
Indeed. Actually I began doing this a lot some years ago by my own instict. Never heard about it before. After countless times doing street photography, I just began doing it. It really works
I've gotten some great photos by doing that, as well as the old fiddling with your settings while secretly shooting from the hip trick. =)
Thank you for not making tutorials! Thank you for not doing gear reviews! And most of all, thank you for these videos, where other photographers present themselves, share their stories, their ideas, thoughts and their work! It's such a relief and a joy to watch!
It's a genuine pleasure:)
Another great one :)
I rediscovered film after many years shooting digital on an old GDR camera from someones basement. It bring me so much joy shooting film!
So nostalgic. So beautiful.
WOW will be purchasing one of her books soon her works looks amazing you can tell she is shooting from her soul rather than the sport of street photography.
Your gift to this community of artists...is truly amazing!! Big Love!!
She's awesome - thanks for creating this and putting it up for all to see!
Just checked out her work. What a incredible photographer she is.
These are really awesome! I love that you bring in people with completely different perspectives to open people up to what’s out there, beyond what is popular right this second! I really appreciate these interview style documentaries!
Thanks Alina. I'm really enjoying making them too:)
Wow this was so interesting, her work is so unique I find! Really great video Sean!
Beautiful, touching story. Thanks for making and sharing it.
One the best video I watched on youtube, it brings you the joy of going out to the street and simply takes pictures, thank you
Thank you Sean for another stellar vlog and for introducing us to Mavis. If this is an example of her work after a year and a half I can't wait to see what else she produces. Amazing.
Thank you Sean, you have taken me back in time. Most of my life has been on film, my favorite was tri-x, always dropped the ASA to 200 and develop in ID11 diluted 1-1 for 9 or 10 minutes, gave you very fine grain and better sharpness then Ilford FP4.
Great video thanks.
So refreshing to see a video which is really about photography and not camera specifications or the newest technology... nice reminder for me to go out and shoot. Thank you for this huge inspiration!
Simply amazing! Looking forward for more film photography, it's a very relaxing break from our digital era. Thank you for that Sean and thank you Mavis!
Man, what an exquisitely crafted video. And a great introduction to Mavis' work. Thanks much!
Thank you for story, it's wonderful. I also love the quality of the b&w "film". The tonal characteristics are lovely.
Your videos always make me feel very positive about life. Very thoughtful and you have things to say, not just about photography but life as well. “Protecting your highlights” really helped me understand the world better, and your interviews are so in depth and wonderful. Thank you for all your efforts- it makes everyday better.
Exceptional. Your ability to capture these documentaries is really amazing as well. You talk about photography a lot, but you really have a gift w/video too. Thanks for doing what you do Sean.
Thanks Paul. That means a lot. These documentaries are my favourite sort of film to make at the moment:)
Super cool and inspirational video Mr T and Mavis CW ... still very new to photography and wrestling with digital ... but who knows? One day eh? Thanks 😊
Ooo that b&w b roll with that music...aaah its crazy. Very beautiful, made me feel every moment in the scene..awesome.love it.
This year I started adapting old film lens on a mirror less and now shoot film. It’s all about the feeling and the process. And it’s not hard to do.
Great video great photos thanks for this one.
Thank you Sean and Mavis for such an inspirational video! Amazing!!
Nestor Vazquez I agree
Fascinating video, Sean. Perfectly in tune with the rythm of Mavis' photography. Can't believe that she has started only a year and a half ago.
Thanks for the video and introducing me to the talented lady Mavis :)
Very cool to hear Mavis' history and practices. Great video.
This was an amazing video, I'm very glad I watched it. I wish there were more people like the two of you.
This video is both very inspiring and a joy to watch. Thank you.
Amazing, what an inspiration. Mavis is absolutely stunning.
Absolutely love this lady and her wonderful works that she proud of.
Unexpected, beautiful video. Just a week a go I found in my house a point and shoot Olympus camera that I used also when I was kid, when I didn't know anything about phtoography.
My goal for the end of 2020 is to start with analog, but after this video, I want to start now.
Again, thank you very much for this video.
Very inspirational Sean, kudos to Mavis!
As usual, another great video from Sean! Thanks!!
I shoot film about 90% of the time. I shoot film because I am tired of buying cameras and I love the look and I love the craftsmanship it takes and the work and I love the old camera. Getting a great shot and following through with developing and in the darkroom just feels super satisfying and accomplished.
Another great job with your video production and story. It causes me to remember the early days of my personal photographic journey using black and white and then slide film from Kodak slightly before the days of the green box of Fujifilm. Very inspiring. And thank you Mavis. Keep up the good work.
A wonderfully filmed and instructive video. Thank you for your thoughtful and thought provoking work. I love Mavis' work.
Thanks for yet another wonderful and inspiring video. I worked as a photographers assistant back in the 80:ies and have said a lot of times that I will never set my foot I a darkroom again, but for some reason you touch something in me so I´ll get my old 35mm Nikon and my 6x7 Pentax out again. Thanks so much for a great video 👍😎🌹
I was only 8 years old when my dad taught me how to take photographs with our family camera, a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye. I was hooked. By the time I was 12 I was shooting a twin-lens reflex Ricoh Super 44 that my grandfather bought me. At 13 I was developing my own B&W film in a DIY darkroom under the basement stairs. My film of choice then was Kodak Tri-X 400. Now after many years of digital photography, I'm back trying it again. Feels good. I will be following you on your journey into film with great interest.
First video of yours that I see, but if they are all this good, man you’re gonna see me around!
Great work Sean. I really appreciate your efforts in bringing such classic photography subjects to public. And All the best for your Film Photography works as well..
Sean wonderfully constructed video mate, thoroughly enjoyed it.
High-end stuff. I really enjoy your work and that of the artists you introduce.
Hi Sean, love your short documentary films as they are thought provoking and inspiring. Mavis is not only an extraordinarily gifted photographer she's an artist. Great work Sean, you are indeed a film maker. This is quite simply the finest photography content on RUclips.
