You're an awesome photographer mate. I love your approach to minimalism - it's what I have in my head when I'm out on the street but am still learning to capture.
Hey there Foreign Particle, first off, thanks! That is lovely to hear. It takes practice to find these minimal subjects, but ABC, right? In any case, did I miss something, or was something unclear? I want to improve how I explain things, so any suggestions gets a warm welcome. Have a great weekend :)
@@DanielBryn The vid worked for me! Your explanation of the components of your own images was really helpful. For me, Seeing people's photos and hearing how and why they captured it is what inspires me to continue learning and experimenting.
Hey Amit, thanks a bunch. I must admit, its one of my favourite visual "patterns" to play with in street photography. Cheers for watching, have a great day!
Go ahead and brag about your photography, that’s why we are here! I really love the dune photos. Deadvlei and Sossusvlei seem like such an unreal place to visit and photograph. I love the minimalist approach, it really forces you to look at things in a totally different or abstract (like you said) way. It’s a great way to change things out and create a specific perspective. Thanks Daniel!
Namibia itself was unreal! Thanks Carl, please let me know any feedback if you think I missed something, and thanks! Really appreaciate it :) have a great weekend!
A great video. It has really helped me to see the world from a whole new perspective. Living in South Dakota, minimalism is a magnificent concept for a photographer.
Referring to 2:52, there's a school of thought that light itself - ignoring the obvious that all photographs are nothing but light - or a gradient can be subjects. This water picture is a good example of that. I think the subject is best described as texture. The strong contrast accentuates the subject by showing how it behaves in different intensities of sunlight. Thus providing more meaning about the subject. But.. that's just my interpretation. "Ooh, pretty water" is just as valuable as a dissection.
Id call that a very good reflection! Thanks for the input. As for black and white photos, yeah, its easy to just slide the saturation to the left when you dont nail the colours. But I think the best black and white photos alwasy come from a counciuos decision of making them b&w from the start. Not by accident. I had a few accidental B&W photos from the session I quite liked better than the colours, but it was my intention to have them in colour. Those photos looking good (i liked them at least) was coincidence. Anyways, cheers for watching. Have a great weekend.
Thanks Andreas, and great question! I think it makes sense to use black and white in high contrast/harsh light, like that day on the opera house. Dont really do that much black and white. But on that note, my favorite lion portrait from Africa is in black and white. Little plug for my solo travel in Africa series, and in stark contrast to street photography :) Have a great weekend! See you out on the streets
Love your pictures! I think we should stop calling them rules. Rules are usually enforced by a ISO organization of sorts. In this case is more guidelines and suggestions to create emotion. It’s very subjective and cannot be controlled. Just my opinion.
theyre all quite accessible, and normal park fees apply. I cant remember exactly how much, but I reckon it was about 30 USD or something. Google sossusvlei and youll find a ton of info. Cheers
Hey Alpha, thanks for watching my video! I am updating my preset packs these days, and seem to have forgot taking down the link from all videos that had it. Currently travelling in slow internet/no internet conditions, so I still have to wait a bit to update my webpage and shop with these. I do however hope to see you around here when the link goes live with presets I use for all my photography. Happy new year from Botswana, Africa. Have fun with your camera. ~Daniel
Been a while since I made this - ill make a note of it and maybe do another one more instructional. Maybe you found some inspiration in the images shown? And what would you have liked me to talk about, that would be interesting to know to make these videos better. Have a good one
How do you like this minimal approach to photography? Let me know!

@@foreignparticle1320 Thanks for the feedback, I am the same. Looking at other peoples work helps my own creativity!
Minimalistic photography is really a challenge. It looks great. You made great video bro.

Great video! Not seen your channel before but you have a new subscriber! Just going to go back and watch all your other videos now! 😁
Hey Oli! Thanks a bunch, that is really awesome :) I recommend my 10 episode Africa series if your into adventure. And have a great weekend :)
Great material, terrific shots. Glad I found you!
Thanks MR. Red Baron! Welcome to the corner, please enjoy my content, appreciate it
You're good! Thanks ks for sharing.
Thanks, and much appreciated Michael!
Great video and great concept! Will definitely try this on my next pov street photography!
Hey there - Lenstrovert, love the name! And thanks for watching, glad to be of service.
Great video! So many great shots! Question : How do you decide when to use colour, and when to use black&white in your photos?

When getting the colors right is too much of a pain in the ass. When in doubt, that saturation sliding is going to the left lmao
Tusen tak!
hehe. you are welcome Colin :)
Cool video! What's the name of the hat you're wearing here? I love it.
Thanks for watching, I have no idea buddy, lost it a while ago sadly...

True story! Thanks for watching, and for the input. Happy photographing
I am also planning a trip to Namibia. How accessible were these deserts from the city? Did you have to pay an arm and a leg to get there?
theyre all quite accessible, and normal park fees apply. I cant remember exactly how much, but I reckon it was about 30 USD or something. Google sossusvlei and youll find a ton of info. Cheers
It's a subjective area. I don't consider some of your photos, minimalistic,but others may
subjective indeed
I am not able to open the preset url mentioned in the description of the video

I really didn't see the instructional aspect of this video, I have only seen an exhibit of his collection, nothing else.
Been a while since I made this - ill make a note of it and maybe do another one more instructional. Maybe you found some inspiration in the images shown? And what would you have liked me to talk about, that would be interesting to know to make these videos better. Have a good one
