In today's video we discuss Greg Miller and how he quickly turned into one of my favorite working portrait photographers. I also go over the fear of approaching strangers as well as the process of slowing down and printing your work.

I want to thank you so much for sharing your work as well as mine. I see I am a little late to the party here, but wanted to share my immense gratitude for this carefully crafted video. You're making such warm portraits of what looks like complicated individuals. We will never know for sure but so much is coming through without you telling us more. Most importantly, it warms my heart that you decided to make these pictures, of these individuals, in the moment you did because, as you point out, you are likely never to get the opportunity again.

“The person I don’t think I should be photographing - that’s the person to photograph”. This is a great quote. I will be quoting this quote from you forever now.

I love Greg Miller's work. When I bought his Ash Wednesday book, he shipped it to me in an old 8x10 box and won my loyalty for life.

Man the closeup headshot of the motorcycle guy's son is so delicate and well done. Very well done Bryan.

I the extent to which you ponder your internal workings towards art-making. I think your work is better for it. Love it, Bryan.

Rad to hear some quotes and see some of Greg's work in one of your wonderful offerings! His stuff is crazy good, his images have that untouchable feeling of looking into another world as opposed to seeing a photograph. Sickeningly good, just like your selection of portraits towards the end. Keep killing it matey. Curious to hear how you get along with the fiber paper

Killed it again. The quotes. The personal introspection and reflection. The quality of your work. Keep them coming.

This is SO great, wow! Love to hear your story behind the pictures, you describe so many dillema’s that also cross my mind often when i photograph.

Man I am so the same way. I hate feeling like I'm wasting some ones time. I love that quote I'm going to remember it.

As ever, calm, quiet, meditative and kind. what a great video. And thank you so much for having dropped the sponsor dependency, as I believe you did. The flow is perfect on this one. Really inspires me to go out and do shoot with what I have. And print too... You are a breath of fresh air.

If you had a book of the prints that appeared in this video, I'd line up right away to order. Well done, Bryan - You summed it up perfectly in the last 20 seconds.

Great work, Bryan. You've got the right attitude. The more you approach, scary subjects, the easier it will become . Press on. KB

Just brilliant, taking yourself on and reaping the rewards. And, always fibre for printing, it's so much richer....
