PRO doesn't mean what it used to
Переглядів 689 місяців тому
Jack and John discuss the use of the word PRO in so many educational videos and content, teaching things that are helpful yes, but not necessarily always right or should be taken as gospel just because it comes from a PRO. Our view is that we should learn the technical aspects yes, but then move to the creative and artistic aspects of photography for richer experience of our chosen activity.

    Good discussion, guys! I frequently hear your voices in my head: slow down. And this was very important for me with using the polarizer in the rain. I'm not used to having the CPL on and I forgot about it several times until it became part of my routine. Jack, I still use the 3M cloths; I find them much better than the bulk packages - just don't ever add softener to the wash!

    • @JohnPedersenPhoto

    Nice to hear you again. I'm the subject and I simplified my life by keeping relations with best people, creativity and that's it. To take the time to breath. Isn't it the privilege of the age to realise that? When John talked about his second epiphany, it makes me think about the photowalk I started to do recently. One camera, one lens in my hand and just react to what happens. The images will not be awesome but will tell a story about me that day. My feelings, maybe the pain in my body or still a poem, who knows. Sailing in this part of the world must be a great experience for sure. Thanks guys.

    Hi guys, love your interviews on creativity with your guests. I was expecting to see and hear on this critique talk, about what inspired you to take the photos, instead of the skill side of the image. Maybe the creative side of photography has been the current evolution of the channel? Anyway, loving the current interviews with Guy Tal and Collen Minuik. I really enjoy your thoughts, questions and interaction as well. FYI I loved the chain image, the first one in the above series. It reminded me of a grandfather and a grandchild (old and new) because of the contrast in the chains condition and the symbolism of "link" maybe you did not think about this, but sometimes I take photos subconsciously, and then later on the symbolism and emotion comes to me.

    • @JohnPedersenPhoto
      @JohnPedersenPhoto 5 місяців тому

      Hi Loretta. Thanks for watching and the comment. After doing thousands of image critiques during our workshops, we've found that it works best to talk about the skill side of an image, because after all, we're critiquing the image. Commenting on "why" someone took a photograph...as you know we all are moved in different ways and the motivations behind it are extremely personal. Good comment though that we could add a bit more of "why I took the photograph". We may do more of that in upcoming episodes. Thank you so much for being a part of the channel!

    If you want to be a landscape photographer it's maybe more difficult than to be a photographer. I'm living center Europe near the Alps, but most of my photography are made 15 min. drive from home. You're right, we just have to open our eyes and free ourselves from judgments and enjoy the process. Always nice to see my good friend Alister and both of you. Thanks.

  • @luciengrillet

    Thanks for this very nice video. I’m a big fan of Andy’s work and it was a pleasure to learn a bit more about him. On the subject of people bringing to much gear on expeditions, I think you should take into account the fact that for most people, a trip to Lofoten, Patagonia, Namibia, etc … is a one in a lifetime experience. And with that in mind, you really don’t want to miss an opportunity for a great shot. So yes, I tend to bring with me enough gear to cover every focal length from 15mm to 200mm (even 600 mm at times), plus a drone and it is very cumbersome, but I’d rather do that than arriving at a scene and realising that I can’t get the photo I’m inspired to take because I wanted a lighter bag.

    The fire fall discussion is spot on. It is sad how locations can be loved to death. As someone who has spent most of my life in the Sierra hiking, fishing and making images I also do not share locations of images that are not taken in iconic locations. Thanks for the discussion with Art!
