PRO doesn't mean what it used to
Переглядів 604 місяці 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.

    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.

    Great conversation. Colleen's book is fantastic and very inspiring. Guy's, I greatly look forward to and expect superb things, as usual from him.

    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.

    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!

    Recently on Expressive photography forum(Alister Ben) we discussed about creativity and intentionality in our photography. The point of view of Guy Tal was really interesting and go beyond photography. It talks also about the creativity in our own life.The reference on Rainer Maria Rilke was pertinent. Thanks to the three of you.

    • @JohnPedersenPhoto

      thank you Pascal for watching and commenting! I agree, much of of what Guy expresses goes far beyond photography and delves deep in to the human condition and psyche. Besides gaining insight in to ourselves as humans, it can also enlighten our photography to a large degree. Guy is one amazing person with how he views and shares the world.

    Reinforces the theme of the quote attached. I think this sums up a lot of what you guys teach. Thanks for the discussion and taking the time to share your art and philosophy. See ya. ‘Perfection is achieved, Not when there nothing more to add, But when there is nothing more to remove.’ Quote attributed to: Antoine De Saint-Exupery

      Thanks for the comment Tom! I'm glad that you found that helpful. I'm really on a mission to talk about designing artful compositions and how to go about doing it. As the old saying goes, you don't "take" a photograph, you "make" it. I try to use all the parts and pieces in a scene and arrange the comp to be the most appealing. Thanks for watching!
