In this episode, I return to Washington's east side to explore some of the rural lands adjacent to the Cascade Mountains. Got a glimpse of those summer temperatures and enjoyed putting some miles on the Outback. Enjoy!

Really related to what you said about hesitating to ask people if they'd like their photo taken. The interaction you had with BK was so pure and illustrated the beauty we can have with complete strangers when we have a camera in our hands. Like you I'm going to make a conscious effort to shoot more portraits this summer!

@@BraeHunziker yeah you got the nail on the head. I'm in the same boat about asking akwardly for portraits and enjoy landscape. The thing is, landscapes will always be there, but the people around you won't.

I think photos of people when you have asked to take their photo generally have a story because of either a conversation that you had with the person, or the feeling that you had when you decided to go and take a photo of them. Its relatable and as humans we remember the unique and all people are unique in one way or the other. Great work Brea and looking forward to seeing your next adventures.

4:58 is really good. Reminiscent of Sternfeld for sure. The bare landscape in the background combined with the sad (or happy or indifferent) couple, with the shirt pulled up just a little bit, is just like his work. So happy you are leaning more towards portraits. There is insane opportunities out in your neck of the woods.

I feel you with the fear / social anxiety thing. I’m struggling with getting up close photos of people with a 35mm when I’m shooting street, but I know I need to include more shots of people and not just cityscapes. It’s tough, but that’s also the beauty of self-expression - following fear. Great job doing that AND openly talking about it on your channel. Love it.

I know what you mean about asking strangers for photos. It's a fear I want to overcome sooner rather than later. Regarding portraits, I've done a few portrait shoots on film (in parallel with digital) and loving the results, especially on slide film. The last scans I had back were on Provia 100F (fantastic skin tones!!), and I have a roll each of Ektachrome and Gold in the lab now. The models I work with seem to love the novelty bonus of getting some vintage looking scans in addition to the more clinical digital images. Almost like two shoots in one. I'm still getting used to slide film because it's fairly tricky to meter

@BraeHunziker 2 жыл бұрын

Great video. Yeah, photos were cool but what you had to say about the fear in asking for a photo REALLY resonated with me and I am sure others. In your videos when you put yourself out there and ask for a portrait the results have been fantastic. The first shot of the van was a killer photo. And your montage of portraits as you were talking there were some killer photos in there too. I was at an event in Everett on Monday (Memorial Day). There were some excellent photos of people to be had but I was too chicken shit to ask. And what do I remember most? The regret of not asking. White Outback the new WRX or a loaner while the “silver streak” gets fixed? Thanks for making the video but more importantly, thanks for sharing your vulnerability. Reading comments, clearly I am not alone.

@BraeHunziker 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for this comment, Greg. Been too frustrated with myself not just taking a moment to ask. Feels a lot better at least making the attempt, even if they say no. And yeah they totaled the WRX so got an Outback for a little more clearance on the forest roads this summer! Thanks for taking the time to watch. Cheers!
