      Ulysses, you inspired me to combine my love of art into how I look for potential photos. Your photography looks surreal like an A.I. created art piece where it takes a few moments to figure out what I’m seeing. There’s a lot of balance in your images that makes me want to train my eye better to find those optical situations and to study painters and photos so I am ready when there’s a beautiful situation about to happen. Much respect for how down to earth and humble you were in this interview, made me feel like you’re one of us and motivated me to put in more work.

    I like this kind of videos.
    Instead of "promoting" yourself showing off your POV and your photos, you are investing your time giving us someone else's prospective of what photography means for them.
    Inspiring work.
    Thank you.

    I believe Ulysses is right about digital hitting the ceiling. Not much visibly can by improved by adding resolution for example. Computational photography might be next buzz word for few years. I suspect we will have more sells in photography gears. I would like to people to try pinhole photography. Thats totally new for todays people.

    The way I see photography heading...
    1. Horizontal photos are going to make a comeback (thanks to Apple, they are introducing a dedicated shutter button to their new phones)
    2. Less edited photos more natural SOOC
    2. Rise in Film photography or SOOC pictures (so other manufacturers will probably do things like Fujifilm, Panasonic has already started with their new Lumix S9)
    5. Less bokeh because of smartphones, because of film, and because people just want more context to images and what is happening in the background.
    6. Less "straight" or "perfectly aligned" photos and more natural with the expression of movement. (hopefully not too many Dutch angles / )
    my 2cents and a bit

    Roman this content is so spot on, a great way to improve and create content in a meaningful way rather than the crazy amount of videos out there trying to present you a shortcut to become a sensation on social media. I think photographers are easily falling in the trap of creating content just for the sake of it, but this is a way to remember the beautiful and endless artistic side of the craft. Cheers from Argentina!

    I’ve always loved Ulysses’s perspective, hearing about his love for oil painting makes so much sense because it comes thru in his photography. Many photographers shoot work that is in a popular narrative line that people want to see, and it kinda muddies the waters of whether it’s good work or whether you’re just interested in that style for the time being; but it’s always been clear that Ulysses’s work is good work regardless of the trends, and stands outside of them.

      Randyw got it right. However I can't recommend them. It's the second pair. The first was replaced under warranty due to crazy corrosion. These are not even 10 months old and already corroded... if they were $10, fine. $300.... is a scam tbh

    I think Jessica has forgotten what its like when you're at the beginning of your photography journey. You literally take pictures of everything and anything, because you love the art. Just because someone has been brought up in a different world doesn't give you the right to criticise. I think someone is struggling for ideas for content.
