You have a very unique style all your own. You do great work. Don’t let the negative comments dissuade you from doing the work you want. It’s great to see you grow and mature as an artist. Keep going, don’t look back!!!

The surest way to know that you are doing good work is when others start putting you down. Keep on keeping on my friend.

Most things are already photographed, and only our own interpretation left ☺ You do a very good job and can be an inspiration to other photographers to show their work.

I was smiling watching the exhibition scenes because it made me happy for you that people were enjoying your work. Keep up the work.

Well, I rarely enjoy landscape photography and I find Kenna's work (and Adams' too) quite forgettable as their images are too "perfect". But your work touches me at a deep level. It has soul. Its imperfection makes it perfect to me. It has grit. Also the fact that you are using whatever camera is at hand (small, cheap, older...) reminds me that gear does not matter in the least. What you do sometimes with an older RX100 blows my mind. Please continue what you are doing. Your work is important !!!

As a fellow professional photographer/artist I know exactly what you are talking about with nay sayers and so called art critics. Let me just say you do excellent work and I am busy trying to find (and watch) all your videos - that should tell you all you need to know..:)

Unfortunately, it is easy to provide a negative feedback than to encourage someone to keep doing what they like most. You really good in what you do. I like your style and photos. Keep up the good work !

Great example of “been there, done that”...especially using Kenna as an example since so many are accused of copying his work. And the iPhone shot at the end, brilliant. 🤣😂😅

It is perhaps valid to note that most popular songs are written around the same three chords. Like hearing, sight is a sense that all us beings share. The way you perceive is different although the notes or the colors are the same... The naysayers are usually those who do not have the the drive to wake up before the sunrise and be back home in time for breakfast, enjoy the smiles of family and friends... You see my friend, they are driven by the urge to say no. You are driven by the urge to live and experience. Keep on..

There is a saying in fake latin something like "nil illigitimus carborundum" which translates loosely to "don't let the bastards grind you down". Keep doing what you are doing - your approach is very engaging and accessible, your enthusiasm is infectious and I like your pictures. I have been taking photographs since 1977, I take them purely to please myself and I still get a tremendous buzz out of it when the light is exciting.

Don't listen toxic people. Get inspiration from other artists is totally normal. Do you know what? You inspired me, yes, and I have to thank you.

like your work, dont care about looking at the floor, looking at a hard drive while you walk. dont care about the b-roll, keep it simple and clean like your photography.

Great video. So much packed into one! Very cool exhibit.

Even with almost 5 million subscribers Peter McKinnon get haters and 👎, the Joy's of (anti) social media and keyboard warriors with nothing better to do with their time. Keep up the great work.

I have fallen in love with your work and i have gotten inspired to go out and shoot landscapes and especially FOG haha, keep doing what you're doing!!

Tu eres un artista en todo el sentido de la palabra. Tus fotos son poesía, arte y melancolía. Eres una inspiración para mí.

Everything was already photographed in the past by someone. The moment I saw your photos I felt like they are Kenna inspired. Why not, because he is a great inspiration and maybe idol for many photographers. But everyone has his own point of view to look at things, to interpret them. So no photo will be the same. It's usual to copy pictures you like to learn how the original photographer has worked. That's totally fine, too. I like your work and so do many others. Keep going. :)

All artists have been influenced by forefathers, be it music, painting, or photography. Inspiration is the word. "Imitation is the greatest form the flattery". Well done!

I thought the long exposure was brilliant. Don’t worry about the hates - they’ll always be there. You’ve got a really compelling style, regardless of where you take your inspiration from!

10 photographers 10 different possible views of the same image. You make photographs for your pleasure. If you don't take a photo because of that those people won. And your "copied images" look great! Haters are everywhere. You have amazing work out there.

It's so awesome to see the photos of Oregon on that wall!!!

What Eric said. Crazy folks have the gall to say such ugly things. I think your work is awesome and agree with Eric it has a really neat style. As a film shooter myself it also inspires me to try new things and experiment around. I hope you don't let those folks get you down because I'm a fan of both your work (both stills and your videos). Keep on keepin on duder!

I think the photo shows an arrive from the ocean to the rock on the island in a few minutes (as you described that it took a long exposure of 5 seconds) so every second is a minute, and now have to cross the rocks to get to the mainland.

Congrats on the exhibition! Your work is looking better and better and I think you’ve managed to find a style of photography that really emphasizes the subject matter over equipment or method. This is very evident when comparing your digital photos with your film ones, they are so similar in tone and style.

Refreshing work ! Makes me want to keep making my own images , if nothing else because of an internal obligation....

Looks like a beautiful town to shoot! Your work is great. Ignore the trolls -- while you're out making photos they're sitting at home critiquing someone.

I love your photography, which make me love your videos :)

I am new to your channel so just coming across this one now. I don't think I can say much more than what Eric S, Thomas P, and LisaP have said. I enjoy your style! I found you because I have become interested in Bronica SQ cameras. Coincidentally, I intend to do most of my work in B&W as well. Your images have certainly inspired, and I hope I am able to create one that is close in the not too distant future :-)

Hola Adrian, recien sigo tu canal y me tiene super pegado... aprendo un monton viendo tus videos. En cuanto a la gente que lanza comentarios sin importancia pues siempre sera mas facil criticar que crear. Un saludo desde la bella Colombia!

Having haters on the internet is the biggest sigh of success! Just be yourself and fok those who don't like it! I think you're doing great job. You've inspired me many times! I even bought a tripod thanks to you😁😁😁😁 Cheers Mate!

Everybody is influenced by every photograph they have seen in their life whether they realise it or not. To say otherwise is foolish. Your images are excellent and stand on theyre own merit, ignore the photography snobs 👍. Your iphone image is quite an eye opener both in the image itself and technologically 😊. Personally I still love black and white film photography, even though I use digital cameras and my phone, they all allow me to take images of my world which is the point of it all 🤗👍.

Love your channel, love your photography. We all know the negative comments you get have nothing to do with you and your work and everything to do with the people making the comments.

Very clever thoughts about your own work. Just continue to be genuine without listening to stupid people who want to criticize you. Take care, Göran from Latvia

Big fan from the Philippines here man! Awesome work and style. Hopefully you can visit our tropical country and take photos of it. Thanks man for inspiring film folks like me.

Clearly you have your own style. And a different one. Not always I think you get the "best shot from a location", specially because you completely stay on your "square HP5@1600" format (again, it is your style) but I respect and keep watching. All of us, "photographer", amateurs or professional, have a majority of "misses" and then we have a "bingo shot" :) You have the courage to expose your job, part of your life, etc. Most of those who critique badly don't even have work to show for sure... Keep going with your work. Hope the best for you and your "dream"! (Your living it) :D

For me, your photographs have a distinct style. I don’t think of Michael Kenna particularly when I see them, but in any case, as you say, there is nothing wrong with being inspired by other artists. Keep up the good work.

Taking ideas of other photographers that are inspired by other photographers is not bad, it's what you want to do, and I like them. People that complaining about other people's work are uninspired, lazy, and no fun to talk with

Ignore the haters. Keep up the inspirational pics.

Delete the jealous haters from your mind ! They're all just talking heads full of B.S. ! You work harder than most and your images are so beautiful. If that is bad, then please keep up the bad work ! I really love your images and have learned so much from your videos and really hope you can just skip right past all the negative anal babies and continue your journey ! Thanks for all you do, LarryMac

Great video, I know there are a lot haters out there and a good real artist must know how to disregard this negative influences. We learn from the expertise of others and the future generations will do the same from our work. I don’t think we should pretend to be unique in a world where everything have been discovered already, but we can always add a different twist to it. Congratulations on your exhibition success.

Okay, this is my response to those that say it's been done before and you are just copying someone else. With that sort of logic, everyone who loves to cook should never use a cookbook. You are ripping off someone else's cooking skills. What nonsense. Keep shooting what you like, Adrian. We love your work.

Dear Adrian, You really don't have to apologize for anything. You don't have to be ashamed of your work either. All photos that are made are made because they have already been made once. Everybody wants to be or become Ansel Adams, just look at how many pictures of Adams have been made by photographers of this time. You don't have to think you're good, I know you're good. And I came to this conclusion by looking at your work. Your view on photography is yours and nobody else. Because of you, I am now also going to photograph square format. That does not mean that I want to copy you or copy your work. No, I think you have convinced me that square format is a nice format to photograph. Let the people who are jealous of your work talk, and enjoy, just as you can, the wonderful moments when you make a beautiful creation again. This is my opinion Adrian, nothing more and nothing less. I think you are a good photographer and enjoy your work. Greetings from the Netherlands, Toine

Keep doing what your doing Adrian , you have developed your own style, i personally believe that a hell of a lot of photographers are inspired by other photographers in my eyes it does not mean your ripping them off , if you look at my Instagram page I’m probably Being accused of the same , keep up the good work and looking forward to the next one 👍

Felicidades por la muestra. Me gustan tus videos y tus fotos.

I'm glad you disagree with these people who are saying such negative things , I think your style is unique the only similarity to Kenna that I can see is the square crop, so we should all stop cropping square ?? I love your work and I love Kennas work equally :)

Never be concerned with the opinions of haters. Don't tell anybody but I copy you. It's our influences that drive us.

Cool

keep up the good work amigo...don't listed to the negative comments...great pics and youtube channel. By the way, is HP5 your main BW film? saludos

Hi Adrian, exhibition looks great, like how you decided to keep just to one size of image and frame throughout all your pictures, how about getting a darkroom set up and printing the traditional way.

This is how the internet works, haters gonna hate

Regarding so-called plagiarism, there are four major elements to a photographic image. In no particular order of importance, the first is the photographer, second is the location, third is the environmental conditions. I will come to the fourth shortly. All are variables. The photographer's photographic knowledge, experience and life experience are unique. The location can be viewed from an infinite number of positions and can be photographed using an infinite combination of technology (e.g. focal length etc.). The environmental conditions are also an infinite variable. Time of day or night, weather, time of year, historical date, etc, etc. The fourth element is the viewer of the final image, also an infinite variable because the mood, age, circumstance, location etc of the viewer will all have a different effect on how the viewer feels or interprets or merely enjoys the image. The photographer has no control over the fourth variable. Therefore, anyone who accuses a photographer of plagiarism had better have some very compelling, unassailable evidence to substantiate their accusation or be prepared to be regarded as a complete idiot. Ansel Adams photographed some locations that have since been visited and photographed by millions. I feel safe in the statement than none of these later photographers have ever managed to reproduce any of Adams' images because a photograph is an instant in time and time is ever changing. That is not to say that any of the later images are any better or worse (whatever that may mean) than those of the great Ansel but if the end viewer gets pleasure from them does it matter if the later image bears some resemblance to the work of the great master? Aside from this the photographs looked absolutely beautiful displayed on the exhibition walls. (Almost as good looking as the food. 😂) Thank you Adrian.

would have been interesting if those photos taken around the 10:30 mark were in colour with the muted lighting

I've done solo photo walks inspired by your photography and not to copy you but to take inspiration from you.

Excelent work Are you spanish?? Best regards from ARGENTINA

a tomar por culo tanta negatividad! me encanta tu canal y tus fotos. Ojala q vengas pa canada para fotografiar algun dia! cheers.

Por supuesto, si alguna vez vienes más por el norte, sería un placer compartir contigo una jornada fotográfica. Puedes ver algo de mi trabajo en instagram.com/contadordeexposiciones/ Un saludo desde As Pontes!!

Haters gonna hate

Contento con la expo?,Ya eres profeta en tu tierra!!,j,j,j,j,j Cambiando de tema.Si hiciéramos caso a todos lo comentarios de la gente ,si son ultra positivos ,no avanzaríamos ,y si son negativos ni movernos de casa .La serie de fotos que muestras hoy me parece muy buena ,pero la del banco con el puente es brutal!!!,a que más de uno te dirá que hay una parecidacon e4l río Sena en Paris.....

Wasting film? You only waste film if you either don't capture images or you just throw it away unexposed. I have never heard such silliness. Trolls, I tell you, just trolls with an obvious boring existence.

Y como sabe la gente que tenes dinero? jajaj que me perdi? jaja

Wow! People are shitty. Just ignore it.
