I’m pretty new to the DM party, but I can listen to this guy all day … passion, humility, and a willingness to share his knowledge irrespective of the level of his audience … need a beer with him 😂
if there is still a possibility to ask - my question would be - it is not even a question... It would be really nice if Daniel could give us a reading list of what he thinks are essential photography books? For those who do not get the luxury to go to art school and still would want to follow the sort of photography path (Tao) Daniel talks about. ..like having a concept behind all, from going out to taking pictures with a really special purpose all the way to the "end of the proccess", like printing, publishing etc.... Oh and it would aso be lovely to hear more about the non-internet-based phtography world, the offline professional world, how things work there - ad of course would love to here about his from Daniel and from 'Advancing Your Photography' channel, too :)
You give the essential answer to the question, How to be original? Be yourself. It is aspirational, of course...because you will always be evolving. Or one could say, you will have arrived when the journey never ends.
Fantastic video, Dan. I love the idea of being invisible and being able to reduce your vibrational footprint when you're working so as to not affect the space. It's hard to understand until you've been there, and you've got to not only have an instinct for it, you've also got to consciously work on it. So great to have you talking about these concepts.
Thanks John. It always sounds odd on the surface, but it's amazing what you can do when you are somewhat in sync with what's around you. It doesn't always work but it's nice to be able to feel your surroundings.
I used to have a wife that was glad to see the back of me. One day i never returned. Dude you are way cool and fast becoming an inspiration for my photography
Love that you said it takes time to know who you are. So true. I've been shooting for 16 years and just in the last two realized where I should be focusing. I was so over feeling the stress of shoots I had no business doing because they weren't my forte. It's freeing when you finally know what to seek out and what to avoid. I wish it hadn't taken me so long, but hey at least I know now.
wow, Dan, your passion and honesty reflects in your talk. I really love the experience you share. I am starting out as a documentary photographer and I really relate with your philosophy towards photography and the ethics you bring. Bring more of these videos...I am waiting...
Yep, I read Shutterbabe when I was getting into photography. “It’s What I Do” has been sitting too long unread on the booskhelf. Thanks for the reminder Dan!
It's inspiring to hear you and see how much you love what you do and how much you are driven by it... I've been fighting through some of those confusing and sometimes frustrating periods trying to figure out who I am as a photographer and how to make a living out of it while I dont want to fall into the commercial side of it... thanks for the video!
I've been a fan of Dan's since I caught him teaching a class on Creative Live (some of their classes are a bit hit or miss, but Dan's class is amazing and it's short and to the point, highly recommended.). Okay, so definitely consider him a great photographer. Are there going to be any more videos with him? I love to hear his philosophical, thoughtful approach. I'd love to hear him break down his approach to selects/post processing/printing etc.
Daniel your humble approach to photography, should Help many. Good documentary should reflect that community in a compassionate way. Building Relationships with people makes great photos.
Clive Milner? No way. We are kinda brothers, maybe. I was, and am, a talker. So I do like to know the people I'm photographing. This takes time and patience. One reason I don't really do street photography. I suck at it, but it also doesn't offer what I'm looking for in terms of working with people.
The use of journals is brilliant. I really want to focus various areas of life exploration, not separating photography from reading and other explorations. Dan, how are you attaching the phtotos to your written journals so that the adhesive does not destroy the paper? I'm thinking maybe a spray adhesive. They only need to be lightly attached.
Do as I say, not as I do. I use all kinds of things, some archival some not. Glue, tape, corners, etc. It's pretty easy to get a good archival glue stick. Same for tape.
Mark, WoW! In a sea of vapid "content creators" you once again bring true creative insight and perspective to your channel. Daniel's refreshing, honest, and spot on advice is fantastic. I think his words should be mandatory reading for anyone thinking about getting into photography. And thanks Daniel. I'm looking forward to you next session.
Julian, you are too kind. I do however wish someone had shared some of this stuff with me when I was starting out. It was, however, a very different time.
@@DANIELMILNOR505 Yea, many thing were different then but like the saying says... what's old is new again. So your wisdom is possibly going full circle.
Hi, currently I have Fujifilm xt2 and 35 f2, I'm looking into buying another lens, would you recommend 23 f2 as a good companion to 35 f2 to create a 2 lens travel kit?
I’m pretty new to the DM party, but I can listen to this guy all day … passion, humility, and a willingness to share his knowledge irrespective of the level of his audience … need a beer with him 😂
we'll see about that beer!
Thanks for taking time to answer some questions from the community! If any of you have questions for Dan, be sure to ask them down below!
Dude i just found the video of you interviewing lance, and please tell him to come back to braille just for 1 video
I’ll ask but he’s onto a new adventure but loves you guys 😎👋

Why you shoot in B&W
You give the essential answer to the question, How to be original?

I get the literature influence. Poetry is a big influence for me because of the way it expresses imagery.
@@DevonMiniFlicks I like Frank O'Hara and Mary Oliver.

This is the closest I've come to feeling I'm in PhotoJ school again on YT, keep up the good work.
Glad to hear! 👍

There is a book that came out way before "Its What I Do" By Lindsey Adario, it is called Shutterbabe. They are both excellent reads.
I remember reading that too!
Yep, I read Shutterbabe when I was getting into photography. “It’s What I Do” has been sitting too long unread on the booskhelf. Thanks for the reminder Dan!
Awesome episode! Thanks Dan.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Yep, more on the way. But video is a tiny portion of my life so not sure what my rate will be.
More on the way.
Excellent, thanks.
Loving the content you are offering Daniel, keep it up please 🙏

@@DANIELMILNOR505 Thanks, much. I don't always do as I say either, but don't let that get in the way !

Hey thanks Julian! I agree and before you know it you might see a full course from Dan!
@@marcsilber That would such a great asset for your subscribers to have. Great Idea Mark!

6:28 “My wife is really happy when I leave”...Brutally honest..😎
Great thoughts
Great video daniel! Thank you! I was visiting g the US 2 years ago and NM as well. Little town name TOC :) very cool state!
👍
T Or C. Yes, quite an odd but wonderful little place. Also the jumping-off point for visiting the Spaceport.
@@DANIELMILNOR505 what is the space port?
i would love for you to mentor me dan
Hi, currently I have Fujifilm xt2 and 35 f2, I'm looking into buying another lens, would you recommend 23 f2 as a good companion to 35 f2 to create a 2 lens travel kit?
Yep, good choice. Hard to go wrong with either of those lenses.
At 3:47 what photographer does he mention? Thanks!

Yep, that's the one.

How many people sound like Americans when they talk?
This comment is about making "the same" photo again and again.
