In this video I share some thoughts on the cost we have to count when making the work we really believe in. Artists, at some point, have to decide whether to produce work which appeals to the widest audience possible for the sake of attention and "success," or communicate the message they really believe in on their own terms.

I absolutely love Jacob Collier. It's really nice to hear this view of creativity reinforced. I started KZfaq because the change in government funding for the arts meant I wasn't working for the interesting clients like the BBC and the Arts Council anymore, but I was making corporate videos for oil companies and stock brokers instead. It wasn't what I went to art college for. If my main goal was views and subs it would feel like I was back where I was before. Thanks for making this.

Just want to let you know Sean, your work IS meaningful to me - as I go through my career as a 3d artist, designer and after hours photographer I find tutorials and reviews increasingly obsolete - you can learn all from just about anywhere and quite fast. What's most important is to be able to step back, take a look at your life and past work and to be able to direct your gaze in a direction that will give a deeper meaning to all that you do.

One of the things I've always admired about your channel is how your artistic perspective is not shaped by what's popular or trendy. I've tried to produce with my camera something that aligns with my definition of art. It's not perfect, sometimes it's technically lacking, but it's my vision. I recently met a young film maker just out of school and he paid me the biggest compliment I could ever receive. He said, "I really like your photography. Your photos really convey a story and an emotional feel." I thanked him and said that I was basically a beginner, in the geological sense, but that I was always willing to learn. I told him I look forward to seeing what he is able to create. Thank you for showing me that you don't have to choose between financial success or artistic fulfillment.

@wrydeology 2 ай бұрын

I really needed this. The way I see it, a creative puts their spin on someone else's vision. An artist pursues their own vision relentlessly and with very little compromise. Of course there are overlaps everywhere and I know the whole "I'm an artist" bit can come across as nauseatingly pretentious. But the fact is, there is a difference between somebody who does something creative to make money for a third-party, even if they have a fair amount of leeway in the process, and someone whose work is sufficient onto itself. Most of us play both roles. We gotta eat. And some artists even make a good living doing the work they want to do. The fact remains; if you compromise your vision to appeal to more people, no matter how well-intentioned that might be, you've essentially just found yourself a new employer,. You've become a freelancer to the masses.

@WimBals Жыл бұрын

As a professional artist I know exactly what you mean and have a similar experience. When I mainly only worked for art galleries and did not yet have my own customer base, I mainly made my paintings to the taste of the customers and galleries. Gradually I made more paintings in which I could put more soul into it. I could put more of my identity in my art. I was (even) happier to be able to make these works and the buyers were also enthusiastic which allowed me to drive up my prices. So everyone happy. The art collectors got something in return: authenticity. So, you see that you don't always have to follow customer demand, although this is a contradiction at first sight, to improve yourself and your art.

I have bombarded my wife with questions of what I am better at, what I envision as more important, etc. She relayed the same exact message to me: where are you in this equation? Your message here underscored that idea: the correct answer is to do what you believe in. I have stories to tell the world, and I can do one or both of the above to do that. There is no hierarchy. There is simply what I believe I can do to tell my story. Thanks for these videos.

Hey man, I can really relate to that. I’ve been a musician since I was 8, and at 31 discovered my passion for photography (which I stilly kinda suck at, but... well, I’m passionate). It can be hard to figure out what it really is that you want to focus on. I feel the urge to prioritize because if I don’t, I might never get anywhere. But also I realized that I can express slightly different thoughts and emotions with the two art forms. Is it possible to combine both in the same work? I don’t know. It might be easier with writing and photography because both are (typically) visual only and not time based. Just out of curiosity: have you resolved that inner conflict or what’s your path going forward?

@@rickbiessman6084 that’s an awesome story. I’m curious: what music do you play? I totally think photography and music have an overlap! I think Salgado said that music and photography have a similar language in that they are invisible. I think he meant that they need no literal words to convey. I think I have resolved the issue: let the story decide. Photography and writing are similar, but they are better suited toward a particular story or message. I would employ either or both pending on the story I want to tell. What I have hypothesized is that each medium, whether writing or photography, is a craft. Both are art forms of course, but all art forms are crafts, not all crafts are arts (Sean may disagree!) But story; story is what I’m really after. Story is truly an art form I believe in the power of. And it is what I’m most passionate about.

Sean, I must say your videos are always so inspiring for me. You were among the ones - if not *the* one - who helped me realize further potential within photography, outside of monetary compensation and chasing "the shot." Your honesty both with yourself and your audience - both here and on Deep Natter - continue to help me keep myself in check and see the world in different, albeit better, ways. And I cannot help but say the photograph at minute 9.30 is brilliant. If that is among those you spoke about in Deep Natter most recently, then yes, a shadows and light collection is most certainly needed among my bookshelf. Do consider offering that piece, and more, for sale on your site as prints, for I would love to have it hanging upon my wall, as a reminder of all you have taught me. Thank you.

ive been following your channel since your video on being an introvert, managed to go from illustration to design to video editing in that time but your pursuit of documenting process and being true to yourself has stuck with me and i hope it speaks to others as much as it does to me :) also finally got a camera so i can start my photography journey, much love from brixton

I'm very glad to hear you're taking the "other road". That is my favorite work you've done by a long shot. The meaning behind the images, the why... that's the stuff I really enjoy hearing. You make me question everything I do and make me take an honest look at my own processes and methods, not because you do it differently, but whether its actually right for me. Stay the course, Sean. Keep pushing us.

As always, thanks for making these kinds of videos. Very inspiring for those of us still at the beginning of our creative journey.

Great In-spiration. After reading your book, I believed even more that the path I'm on is the right one. Last year I started focusing on concert photography, because I'm a huge music lover. I quickly realized that success isn't how many followers or likes you get, or how big/ internationally acclaimed the bands are, success to me is how I've developed, how I became better (technically and socially) while doing what I believed in, what I loved and still do. No doubt you were & are a big inspiration to me. So thank you a lot that you create the art you believe in and share it with the world

Coincidentally, I'm reading the very chapter in The Meaning in the Making that talks about this. I wholeheartedly agree. I come here for the philosophical stuff, but when you offer practical tips I'm inclined to watch because I know they will be helpful and well-chosen. Please keep doing what you're doing--it's much needed.
