Honest to God Brian I think you are the best film photographer on KZfaq. You take pictures for you, and that makes them more genuine. You're more concerned about the journey than the gear or the social media likes. Thanks for being so authentic!

As pretentious as it sounds, I’ve recently spent a lot of time thinking about which photographs actually stick with me. I would practice street photography, but I came to realise that photographs I take of my friends and the actual life that surrounds me are the ones I end up looking back on. This realisation made me look for those moments more often, and when I do street photography now (or any photography for that matter) I aim to capture more of such emotion, rather than shooting someone because they dress weird or look interesting. And even though I shoot almost every day, I try to space out my rolls, and only develop one 2-3 weeks after I finish it. It disconnects me from shooting something for Instagram, and I genuinely started shooting what really catches my eye in the moment. It’s made me love photography so much more, and it’s definitely improved the work I do.

I’ve never been so motivated to make mistakes!

One of the finest channels about photography on KZfaq.

Dude, I'll run out of videos of yours to watch. I feel like they put me in a place of inspiration without the anxiety I usually have about creating images.

This was so beautiful man, don't think I've ever watched a video where someone is saying profound things on YT that I actually found profound before, but this whole visual experience rocked my socks. Shows so much depth and strength that you were able to reflect on the characters you photograph and the interest possibly stemming from the loss of your father. Also the portrait interaction weaved throughout shows massive growth in your interactions with photographic subjects. So so so rad. I've just been trying to make as many photographs as I can on the improvement front, I've found that if I can keep the energy going things tend to fall in place more often. If I spend extended time not making work I kind of have to get back in the swing of it which feels like a setback, whereas if I can make an image at least every second day or so the energy keeps flowing and stuff tends to line up haha! Thanks so much for making this man, again, so stunning.

your videos are the best thing youtube has to offer

Lately I've been picking out random little towns around the city I live in and driving out to them to explore. Usually the drive isn't more than an hour or two and I make sure to avoid highways. I have found that being on the road and getting "lost" really helps me open up to my surroundings and I usually end up discovering things that I never would have seen if I had stayed at home. I've been watching your videos for awhile and really appreciate the time and effort you put into making them; the messaging is encouraging and has helped me find satisfaction in the process rather than just the output. Thank you

Discovery and realization that we all go through especially as photographers... wonderful to watch through your eyes your journey.

gear doesn't matter and go out of your comfort-zone: the best advice there is for social photographers. great post!

I started selling all my cameras, focusing on just one of them and that's it. A long time ago I took a trip and had so much camera using at the same time (films in 4 or 5 cameras) that I just couldn't focus on what I was going to do. As you said, people end it up being moved by this type of content (gears) and do not realize how harmful it is to the analog photography movement in general. The last trip was just one gear and it was liberating. Thank you.

Basically the way I am learning is: I started talking to all different kind of artists. I wanted to take portraits of them. With every artist i meet, they give me the information of others. So with every projects, i get more projects. So basically i learn on the go, youtube and of course my great photography professor at Uni, who sees whats wrong with your negative or print in matter of seconds. But tbh almost all of the technical and motivational aspects i learned form either you, Brae Hunziker or T. Hopper. I cant stress enough how much i apreciate the love, work and passion you guys put into this. Keep on doing what you! :)

I’ve been working with family. I recently became interested in portraits as a form of story telling so capturing the “everyday” of a few of my family members or family friends has been wonderful “experience” lol

Stopped sending everything off for people to develop and scan my work and started doing it from home and started connecting with people in my community. For a LONG time, I would be taking pictures of buildings and that sort if thing because I didn’t really know what or who to take pictures of. Used to not appreciate where I was and the different people around me and so lately, I’ve just been using my job (work at a newspaper) to meet loads of interesting people and shooting them on film which they’ve allowed me to run in the paper here. Just got a 4x5 and super excited to meet this guy who is 75 years old and still umpires for high school games. Gonna get some good shots and have them run in the paper for people here to see.

I found myself taking a step back from photography a bit when I started asking myself why I was doing it, or for what goal in the future. I took pandemic time to connect with some people again, focus on other hobbies and read. In the end I still had this overwhelming desire to shoot photos. Taking a step away though and focusing my attention elsewhere proved my original intent. It was for me, Is for me. I’m making photos that stay true to what I want and not the taillights. Reading was a big push. Novels. Exploring worlds that weren’t mine really sparked the creative ideas to make something.

avoiding instagram has helped me take better photos, you helped me with realizing instagram is not the healthiest form of inspiration for photography. finding inspiration from books has helped me elevate as a photographer. Not just looking through the books but taking notes on each picture that speaks to me. but most importantly having confidence in my vision. If im with a friend and I see an interesting subject or scene I wont ask for his or her opinion i will just take the shot.

I've recently started to believe in (my) photography again - I've totally rejected it, as if I had said everything I could in a few years. And then I've silenced my creative side these 5 last years. Now I'm starting to see things again, to resume what I started to experiment. I shoot again, yet differently. I don't know if it's the results of the third lockdown in France but 2021, for the first time in almost ten years of photography - including 9,5 with film - calls for a new chapter. I really find your honesty inspiring and that, on your last portrait, how your "model" seems happy to be here.

For inspiration I really like to get out of my comfort zone. Most of the time I am shooting man-made stuff like houses, cars etc on color film. Now I am doing kind of a tree study, where I concentrate on the organic shapes and textures of trees. And I am shooting it in black and white.

This is such a great video and great reminder that gear is not everything. I’ve recently been trying to connect more with the reason I started photography and that is connecting with people. I normally do street photography but recently I’ve been stopping and asking for street portraits. So through the act of connecting more deeply with my subject I notice I’ve been getting better and feeling more satisfied about my work.

For the first time I started organizing my film. I purchased binders, negative holders, labels etc. I feel this was an overlooked process in my approach to film photography and should help me to be more efficient and therefore more productive.

I love how chill your videos are. With museums closed I started to invest a lot in books to find inspiration and I really feel like it makes my pictures much better. My bank account is screaming ofc coz I started shooting slide film - really enjoyable and a great challenge but sooooo expensive

Man, one of the best photography videos I've seen in the last few months. 🙌👏👏

I've been allowing myself to be more vulnerable and to fail more. Within my photographic practice, I am an angry perfectionist and I feel like it is very limiting for me in a lot of ways because unless I feel like I will get the shot that I want I sometimes don't even try. So recently, I've been a little bit more lenient with the idea of "getting the shot," and instead I've tried to put myself in positions I am not fully comfortable in, in an attempt to spark something new. Love your videos and your work this latest portrait with the '78 is phenomenal.

Easily my favourite photog 'vlog' these days. Inspiring!

I've really been trying to experiment and make the most out of the situation I am in, whether I am forced to shot in bad conditions, or gear that is malfunctioning, just pushing through and trying to work things out as I shoot.

I love you interactions with your subjects... I think its awesome that you film and get sound bites of your conversation. Goes so far beyond just shooting. Reminds me what I miss most about shooting portraits...the people. I'm super late to the party, but glad I watched this one... it was great!

I’ve been getting so much inspiration from your videos. They helped me not long ago to get back out and shoot when I was dealing with depression. Photo books also help me a lot. The words and techniques stay with me from those books when I am out and trying to create.

In the Age of Covid-19, when many jobs have dried up, personal projects that mean something take on added impotence. I started a long-term project using a 4x5 - and am making tons of errors. But I’m learning and making course corrections in process in the field and thinking through the outcome. Oh, and not worrying about gear.

Great video. I love the last picture, the old guy and the build up

That first approach was so confident and slick 👍

Hey, I’m 50 years old and been photographing for 30 years.Your photography and the content here is brilliant. You definitely have something to say, you definitely make outstanding portraits and your observations definitely make me smile. You have masses of talent. I hope I said enough? In the words of McCarthy… keep the fire.

Such an open and heartfelt video. Love your pictures and compositions. There are people looking back at me. That is not easy to catch. Very inspirational. I just started to do film photography again. Found a bellow medium camera on a yard sale a few years ago. When I was in Antwerp a few weeks back and I wanted to shoot but had no gear with me I remembered that bellow camera lying in a drawer somewhere. And I just started. It is like learning to lace your shoe laces all over again. It is quite humbling. But I also found my old Olympus mju and that little guy is always in my bag nowadays. I am shooting street portraits with it, asking people to take their picture. Scary as hell, but to my surprise I rarely get a no. Especially if they see my tiny camera. Really curious how the pictures will turn out. Thank you again for this video. Looking forward to seeing more of you. And you are right, I should spend more time shooting and ( in my case) painting then looking around on social media. Thanks for the reminder. You need that sometimes.

I've been exploring photo collages. Doing them I realize it makes me think differently about the elements with photographs... And be a bit more purposeful about elements. Find myself paying way more attention to more details in every frame now. Have been working on a huge collage for a couple weeks.

Your films are great and very instructive. I also like the fact that you share so many of your own images and how you critique them.

100% agree with the gear. It took a lot of buying and selling cameras to find that honestly through all the buying and selling, I stuck with the same few cameras: a cheap seagull TLR (you don't need a Rolleiflex at all), a cheap Soviet 35mm rangefinder, a Ricoh, and a canon DSLR (and even then I only use the DSLR rarely). Especially true with film photography, your gear doesn't really matter. The film is your sensor, so as long as you have a half decent lens, your pictures will be virtually the same regardless of the camera.

Those scans look amazing. You really can't beat the beauty of a large format negative. I definitely notice that you are getting really quick at the large format process. That proficiency has freed you up to really be present during the process and enjoy the conversations with your subjects vs. worrying about the technical aspects. One thing that I've forced myself to do to get away from gear and work the creativity muscle is give myself one prime lens to work with. That honestly is the most freeing experience to pick up the camera and one lens and not have to think about which lens will be right for the situation and which ones do I need to pack. It has freed me up to focus on enjoying the experience and situation at hand. A really creative photographer friend of mine Adonye Jaja uses music for inspiration. Take a track and listen to it ahead of time and see what emotions it brings out in you and try and convey those in the image.

I've just found all your videos and I really enjoy them. Reminds me of when I used to go out and meet strangers and try to get their story and their portrait. I gave up on photography years ago because of back problems, but seeing the human element of your videos and what photography can do to connect people in a meaningful way is really moving me. Thank you for sharing and for making me want to connect with others again through my camera.

I'm in the period of waiting for my large format to arrive so I've been watching a ton of videos about them. Thanks for the quality videos!

Enjoyed another of your videos Bryan. Ya, that's what I'm doing, enjoying the work of other photographers. Also I suppose I have been repairing a few old 4x5 cameras and sending them off for someone to enjoy for another 60 to 83 years. Very enjoyable to bring a camera back to life. Like mending the broken wing of a bird and watching them fly off into the world. Tomorrow I'm going to attempt to repair Balsam separation on the front element group of an old Linhof lens I purchased for $30. That should be interesting. I separated the two elements today and will attempt to glue them back tomorrow after a good cleaning. Lots of fun...

what I've been doing to improve, is taking more portraits which is something I don't do enough.

Only recently found your channel and have watched a lot of your videos it’s so refreshing to find some one that admits to making mistakes, someone that actually tells it like it is for them and the processes you go through to make a picture I love the fact is not “gear “ related and the off topic pieces are refreshing and through you I’ve discovered other photographers I’ve not heard Plus your photos are true to you long may you continue to do the things you do in your own way and your own style

Really enjoy seeing your interactions with people and the stunning images you get as a result!

I appreciate the bluntness you bring to the conversation, very much needed!

I recently got a Yashica Mat 6x6 by one of my dads old friends. Before trying it out I just thought that square format was the peak of boring formats. but when I shot with it I felt some kind of nostalgia, and I have no damn clue how that camera gave me such a feeling. The camera draws me into shooting things that remind me of my childhood, only in black and white. And it has probably been the most refreshing and fun way of making photographs in a long time. Thank you for the inspiration Bryan.

You nailed it. The majority of videos are on KZfaq are gear related to gear because that is something easy to talk about and easy for as viewers to purchase new gear thinking that is going to make us better photographers. I stumbled across your video but I love your honesty and how you get to the core of what is important. These are some beautiful images. For me, I am trying to shoot more with a focus on images that I find interesting. It might be the subject or the light or the pattern. It has to be something piques my interest and that I am emotionally connected to. Looking forward to your book of these images.

Hey Bryan, nice words that you shared wirh us. Since I realized that gear is not relevant a few years ago, I've been feeling much better. I sold all the cameras I had accumulated and focused on the essentials, content of my work. I've had that book on my wishlist for a while and I would be very happy about it. Greetings from Germany -J

Ive just been forcing my self to bring like an EDC camera at all times to train my eye and bring some spontaneity into my work!

I went back to school, doing a bachelor in fine arts focusing on photography (continued education). But I think, like you said, there’s no replacement for trial and error. Being in school is forcing me to practice and be active. It’s also allowing me to be surrounded by like minded people (virtually for now)

These videos are so refreshing to watch, every single time. I like the natural pose of the man with his hands in his jeans pockets, feels so genuine. As for what I’ve been doing lately to improve my photography, make crappy KZfaq videos 😂 and try to find a photographic subject for the day. The thing that’s on my mind lately, inspired by your portraiture, is to make environmental portraits of people in my family, captured in the place where they work/live. Not on film or large format, but that’s okay 😉. That could be a stepping stone towards random interaction and other portraits/projects...

I usually listen to a couple of artist (Bon Iver, Gem Club) more mellow stuff, and then I’ll find a poem or quote that I like and then I draw or sketch something and then go out and shoot.

I've set my self the task of creating a photo book of photos I've taken throughout the various lockdowns. By create I mean not just organise the photos into a certain order and send it off to be printed, but I'm also making pieces of paper by blending up old sheets I've been holding on to, and will be binding the book myself. I'm doing this because I think that, even though film photography is analogue, it's more important than ever to have a physical connection to the work you create, and I fear that otherwise my photos will just be lost to time in the digital world, stored away online without anyone stumbling across them. The process also gives me something to do with my spare time, and learn the skills of papermaking and bookbinding. I won't even be producing any for others, partly because it takes about 25 hours to make each book but mainly because it's such an intimate project that I'd feel uncomfortable with others flicking through that I don't know personally. Hopefully it will be something to look back on in the future and cherish, and make me think more intentionally about the purpose behind my photos when taking them in the future. Lovely video Bryan, I'm glad that I found your channel, and I wish you all the best in your photography.

thank you for not shouting at us to like and subscribe. i love your videos, i've watched lots of them today, one of them whilst I was making pizza dough for 6 meals! what can I say? firstly, as a European, the way you film your encounters with people is beautiful, how it's filmed from a certain distance but you preserve the sound, and how there's a feeling of American romanticism, that Paris Texas thing that pulls us into its ambience. I also love that you photograph older people because I am sick to my eyeballs of trendy millennials photographing trending millennials in a tedious echo chamber of trendy cameras. lastly, am i too late for the book? keep up the good work but please don't ever fall for the trap of perching on a high moral ground, it's (for me) what kills the good ones the end.

I have just been getting out with a camera taking as many photos as I can, taking a variety of shots to work out what I like and want to take more photos of.

Love your honesty. I've been trying to improve by getting out more and asking strangers in my local area for portraits as well as spending more than I can afford on photo books. Additionally I'm learning a lot from Alec Soth's photo book discussions on his KZfaq channel. Cheers, Pete

Great video Bryan, the look on the guy's face in the last shot is priceless, he looks so proud. To try to improve my photography I decided to go back to basics, I got a 4x5 pinhole camera, now I fully concentrate on the subject and composition. Thanks for sharing.

Actually just started shooting some 4x5 large format and im starting to develop my own film to go along with that. Never have done it before. It's been a more intimate experience that I've been really enjoying ( I've done 3 photos so far so very new to it). Also putting my face out there more. Making brief videos that talk about my photographs and why I took this and why I like it rather than just posting and being done with it. Helps me understand my own work as well as give others a more vulnerable experience when interacting with with my art.

Love the slow pace in your Videos! So chill to watch. Limiting myself to a 35mm lense and color negative film really helped my photography.

Love your photo's Brian, and love your authenticity. Really like the way you look and the photo's and gear. at the end it's just a black box with a hole. I started a project to photograph 45/km cars and there owners(most elderly or people that are not mobile enough and don't have enough money)

Man do I love your documentaries. This is what photography, for me, is about. I am improving my photography by taking myself out from Instagram. Yes, it's a good way to share and get clients. Instagram is also a good way to see what my peers are doing. That said, I compare myself and I find myself not in focus. Without instagram, I am documenting myself more on my ongoing projects and I am loving it so much.

hey brian. been stuck at home for quite some time now. so ive basically just been immersing myself in movies with heart and drama, and the music that accompanies those movies. notable recent ones are Into The Wild (2007) and Control (2007). i think these taught me so much about the human condition and the actual purpose of life on an individual level. and god i hope to capture these as i move forward with my photography. thanks man

Things I’ve been doing to improve my photography: picking up a photo book each day to study it while I eat breakfast, watching your videos and other videos on photography, shoot whenever I can find time.

Been forcing myself to direct the people I shoot more clearly. It’s all about confidence. Thanks for making your content. It’s so refreshing to see this slow paced, process oriented videos.

I've been carrying my camera everyday and shoot my family and friends in their every day life. I've been struggling with the plan of making a photo book or zine or something like that. So I start of from something I know, and I know my family and friends well. There is always this thought that it need to get a lot of attention and needs to be of an trendy subject. But I've learned that it don't matter what it is about. What matter is that it has an value to your self and your passion. Don't care if it's about your dog your best friend or the old neighbors with their beautiful cars. Some day I will finish my photo book and I will know more about my feelings about this topic and the feelings I create in the viewers head. Greetings from Germany love the videos!

Photography noob here! As an introvert, photography is something that I really enjoy doing. I want my photographs to convey my emotions for me. Always wanted to try film photography and found you on Reddit. You create beautiful and portraits that speaks a lot of emotions and I want to learn that too.

These images are ridiculously awesome dude! I love the one of the guy sitting on the purple tailgate!! I'm glad you decided to take on large format photography because I don't think that something that I have the balls to tackle on my channel haha

Oh my gosh, that was an amazing video! Well done.the pacing, soundtrack, and story leading up to the final image was very well done.

Recently i had working on food/product photography. since i have a camera i have done street, and jornalism, a bit of landscape/cityscape, so now i went to the product side. Mostly because the pandemic makes so many people do things like home made food, art, furniture, etc, and well, here i am to show it with images. I would love to have that book and the print to put in my wall, i dont have any art in any wall of my room haha. good video, film is not dead 🤞🏼

One of the best YT channels out there. I'm not gonna say anything new, but seeing your work and how are you tackling anxiety makes me wanna do the same. Recently I've been able to shoot more portraits of friends which is extremely stressful yet so satisfying. It's interesting that I'm able to use that moment to create a deeper connection with someone. I'm trying to focus more on that while taking portraits - to cherish that moment of unexpected closeness and awkwardness. There's a long way ahead of me leading both inwards and outwards - I don't know which one is harder and more exciting. Thanks for the great work - your channel is super inspiring and your photos are really something.

Never stop shooting!!

I'm really enjoying this series Bryan - keep up the good work! I am in a photography club where I can get critiqued each month by experienced photographers. This is how I improve.

portraits are everything. still working building the courage to ask. it's hard to overcome the introversion.

Man I really love your approach towards photography. That’s why I keep coming back to your channel. My work is absolutely opposite from yours but I love watching your vids. For improving my photography I am spending a lot of my time on the field and going to locations again and again to truly get the best photos possible. Keep up the good work bro. 🙌🏻

I am trying to read as much as I can about photography history and shoot medium format !

ive always done street photography or took pictures of flowers, but this year ive decided to start focusing on portraits, its a lot different and ive been learning a lot about lighting and posing. anyways great video, they always make me think about how to improve more.

Bryan, I just last year built a 4x5 from scratch. I hand built the box with some old teak I had around, purchaded all the vatious things I needed, bellows, back and front standards. It was pretty much fing all the pieces you need and go shoot. I really enjoyes your video and want you to know I truly appreciate your logic on whats important. Sonny P.

After entering medium format with my Mamiya645 I've been shooting the toll road near where I live as a way of practicing composition with it's line and movement.

20 minute photo walks every day, no excuses

dear bryan ... i improve my photography, for example by watching your videos. and that is also the reason why I am writing to you here: I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. your thoughts .... your perspective ... i find your honesty and sincerity impressive. please go on. your personality ... your photography ... all of that inspires me. With best regards from far away Berlin ... Germany. gerrit

Before shooting, I put on headphones, close my eyes and listen to music from my playlist, it inspires me and tunes me to the vibe, images and stories appear in my head.

Nice work man, gives me the guts to go and shoot strangers. To improve, I just never leave home without a camera. That way i'm always looking for the next photograph. Enjoy your day.

G'day Byran! So it's taken me a while to figure out the reason why I'm not improving or enjoying my images any more: I've stopped learning. My own portraits just feel so MEH to me in recent months which helped me to make the decision to sacrifice an extra day off of work each week and sign up for an internship at a photo studio to learn how to light and compose for editorial, fashion and portraits. I already work in lighting for film & TV so the rules and concepts are the same but I want to learn how to apply them better to a still image rather than moving images. I missed out on BOYS when it came out but I'm keen to take a closer look at how Rosie composes for portraits and see if I can learn something from her the same way I learn from your work. Already geed for the next portrait and accompanying video, cheers!

Your portraits keep getting better and better!!

I've been really busy with work so unfortunately I haven't been able to take photos much which has me really disappointed. I carry my camera with me on the way to and from work and snap photos while cycling. Sometimes I'm happy with shots but not always. Instead I've started talking to strangers more and not avoiding situations even if conflict is a potential outcome of someone coming up to me. I feel a lot more comfortable speaking to people and strangers and even taking photos of people in "street photography" style. I do miss doing landscape photography but I've been having fun in the meantime and hopefully can take some more soon. Summer is coming up so want to do more nightscapes.

Bryan, your channel is by far the one that I enjoy most. Your approach is very honest and inspiring, always make me think on my own voice and go after something out of my comfort zone.

Loving your honesty in this one! I've lately been doing some photowalks with friends. Though I still prefer to shoot alone , it's interesting to learn how others capture the same scenes or see totally different pictures.

I’m currently trying to take more photos of the random people I get paired with when I go play golf. Each person I meet is unique and I am trying to get better at taking the portraits.

Sure bob loved his photo, it really looked amazing. Nice video

Very nice video Brian. I recognize myself in a lot of the thought process and you’re 100% smashing it with your photography. As for what I do to keep myself shooting, as a newbie to film photography, I take every roll as a small project. It has to have some sort of challenge, constraint. Bring it by not allowing myself to change aperture or focus distance, or by having time constraints to finish the roll, or to play myself a character, like an events photographer, documenting some personal event as if it would be public. Each roll is then numbered and uploaded to Instagram to share the results. I’m on roll 013 now, and I’m enjoying the hell out of it. ✌🏻

I took a portrait of a stranger last week, for a project i'm working on. I was really shy at first but i forced myself to do it. It's such an amazing feeling when you force yourself to do something outside of your comfort zone. I always look forward to seeing your work, as it always motivates me. 💪🏾

One of the things that help is to look at photobooks, I wish I had a larger community and people to talk to about 4x5. Lastly Alec Soth, he’s been quite good at helping with his latest videos. I am really good at fucking up. Thanks ADHD.

I would have pressed the like button at the end of the video anyway, but had to click it at the 5:48 mark.

Great vid! I love these talks man. Lately, I’ve felt like my work/pictures haven’t been super solid. But here’s how I’m improving that: I’m taking a step back. Over time I’ve noticed that I tend to truly appreciate my pictures a lot more if I sit on an image for a bit and not look too closely at it right after I dev/scan/print. I hope that makes some sense. Love your channel! Peace.

I've started developing my own film at the start of 2020, it made me appreciate the process much more. One year later I find myself deeper and deeper in the film photography rabbit hole bulk loading expired tmax. I can't think of a more rewarding hobby than this. Cheers from Greece Bryan.

I've found the one thing that really helps improve my photography is more and more expensive gear. I hope to one day be able to afford to take really great images.

Great Video Bryant, well said. Recently been working on several ideas I’ve had for the last years and prepaid towards my gallery exhibit. Thanks for the video

This channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I'm inspired by your approach with strangers is great and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for your work. Well done!

Great video love the discussions and topic around photography you continue to cover with actual substance. Thankfully it's the polar opposite of the gear bag and nft space talk. I've started dropping only taking out my 6x6 on my daily walks it's really making me slow down and concentrate on single compositions

Hi Bryan, I’m sensing some negativity and self doubt in this video. Keep going with your project. Your images look amazing. It takes a lot of guts to approach a stranger and ask to take their portrait. As far as people commenting on your portraits, don’t assume what their conversations would be about! These images have a certain look that any observer would be intrigued about what camera was used etc, but also who had taken it! As far as the quote goes, even though you might not comprehend it, you are practicing it without knowing it. Keep it up! Cheers Alex.

I also started making a book and thats my way to push myself to get better. Great video and great advice! Have a great day!

Shooting my daughter (she’s 2) since she was in the womb every moment I can to document her life as we both grow. When I was young I remember my dad photographing us with just a Kodak disposable camera and fun seeing those photos of my 5 sibling and how we grow up. Around middle school started. But I want to document my daughters life so she has a story to see where/how/what she went through in her early life. I enjoy shooting her but want to transfer that process to other people portraits. Thank you for this video it help to see some people just tell you the hard look at your work and just focus on what you believe in rather then what “likes” or any other social comment and fake. Thank you.
