In this video I share some thoughts on how to define your own style in your photography: from paying attention to what works, looking back at your own work over time, looking at the works of other artists and listening to their 'whys', and getting to know yourself and your personality.

Sean, I'm 71 years old and I've been shooting seriously for about 40 years. In this one video you've helped me understand where I am, what I want to do and what I need to do. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Do you have an Instagram account? I would like to see your work.
Hi Frank, it’s itoneography
Ditto
Damn.
Im here for year 1 mobile photography.
I do great Event photography for the newspapers 3:48
Introverts of the world, unite... No, there would be to much of a crowd;) Love your videos!
Introverts of the world.. stay where you are lol
I am a introvert, not because I'm shy but because I mostly like to talk about things that nobody is interested in. My problem is that I get annoyed talking about daily things in life, so I keep quiet. 😆
@@pietroscarpa2384 Being an introvert or extrovert is not about being shy or talking with people. It's where you take your energy from, other people or you generate it yourself? I'm an introvert, even though I'm not shy, I love being with people and having long conversations, but I recharge while being alone.
@@wanderdomi this is so true : )
@@wanderdomi yup, peopple confuse being shy and being introvert
Most underrated photography channel out there.
I legitimately feel like I've come out of a psychologist's appointment everytime I finish one of your videos. The way you so serenely unravel and explain whichever topic you talk about is incredible. Sharing your journey and experiences with us while keeping everything 100% relatable. Truly a gift. Thank you.
You have no idea how refreshing it is to sit through an engrossing photography video that does not once mention cameras .
Thankyou

Dear Sean
Your calm nature is a pleasing relief among the instagram and youtube environment filled with "Heeey Guuuuys" influencers.
Your tips are amazing and I love your selection of words when talking to us.
I see your subscription count is rising every day. Congratulations to that - definitely earned!
All the best.
MR
Those influencers are just as valid. If you find it annoying that's valid, but really the underlying theme is all about connection. People connect in different ways.
I just started photography 3 months ago. I don't have a proper gear to use. I only have my mobile phone. But my lack of gear doesn't stop me from having fun and doing what I love. When I found out about your channel, I became so inspired and started watching your contents every single day. I always shoot alone. And my greatest fear is shooting outside because people will always notice me and I feel extremely uncomfortable with it. But I am getting used to it now little by little as I keep on doing it more and more. Keep on inspiring us with your wonderful contents!
I'm not a photographer, but the way you explore topics in your videos has made me consider purchasing my first camera :)
Try to go out with your phone first and take photos, before commiting to spending money on a camera, to develop a photographers mindset and find out what style of photography you want to pursue. That will make it easier to choose the right camera/lenses later on.
@@Kynlak thanks Umeer, will do👌🏿
Don't listen to others, do as you like! Don't listen to me neither
@@Kynlak solid advice!
Go out and buy one. I've just got into photography in the last year and am really enjoying it. Guys like Sean, Simon Baxter and Adam Gibbs do great work and are so inspirational.
The style finds you! I recall someone referring to a tree that suited my style - I didn't even realise I had a style. It's something that emerges organically from what you love and why you love it. This was a great video and, as always, I agree with your sentiment - you just do a better job of articulating it than I do :-)
Simon you do a wonderful job on your own videos.
I agree Simon. Ive been working professionally for 25 years, and my style.... has only caught up with me now! E
Thanks mate:)
10000% agree with "style is something that emerges organically from what you love and why you love it."
I physically smiled when I saw a new Sean Tucker thumbnail on my feed.
Raghav Thakar me too
😂 think I might have too
Genuine art is always a reflection of the author's inner world.
What a breath of pristine fresh air this video is in a UA-cam world of too often gimmicky-delivered information about photography. Thank you..
Just finished a 60 hour work week cooking at a fine dining restaurant in Utah. Photography and film is my real passion. Videos like these remind me why I started taking photos and why I have to continue. Thanks man.
Sean your gentle soul and kind nature is a gift that teaches us all about ourselves, as well as photography. Your videos make me feel like I'm chatting with a wise friend that cares more about me than himself. Your graciousness is a gift and I am grateful for all that you give and share. Thank you very much
Thanks Renee:)
Sean, every time I watch one of your videos, I feel a deep satisfaction. It's a little like coming away from having met with a friend for lunch. I have a little more hope, a little more belief, a little more inspiration. Thanks for what you do.
That's great to hear
There's the nugget!
"Art that is genuinely born of a struggle and a journey and honesty with yourself rises above the rest, and people can smell the difference between that and imitation."
It is incredibly encouraging to see and learn from a fellow introvert who owns who they are and doesn't allow themselves to be held back by their introverted tendencies. Like many others, I saw a lot of myself in this particular video and I so appreciate your candour and ability to inspire others through your incredible work. Thank you!
Sean you are not only developing into a fine photographer but a philosopher as well. I myself have discovered that my photography helps me to see the deeper and more meaningful aspects of life.
is amazing how close we are in our personal and individual journeys... I'm agree with Patrick LaRoque street photography's idea: "in my mind "Street" is not about location, is about a method, is a way to approach photography, is a way to accept randomness, chaos... some way to reacting to what is going around..." ;) in that context, Fan, you, me... are in the "place" we must...
As much as this may be a nebulous word, this video does resonate with me, as many of your videos do. A recurring message, you often give is to encourage people to be themselves, not to copy your style, but to develop their own and your humility is born from the knowledge of your own limitations. And yet, as much as you admit your faults, here we all are, listening to your words, hoping to somehow improve our photography by doing so, when often, what you are telling us is to do is improve by doing. You have a habit of clarifying my own jumbled thoughts, albeit briefly, and then the chaos resumes. Maybe my style is there is no style. I don't know, in some ways I am way further behind the place I think I should be in my journey and in others not so. But it is my journey and I am back on track, in no small part due to your wisdom. Thank you.
I love how sincere you are in your videos. It must be quite hard to be that open with a bunch of strangers on the internet.
Capturing the isolation of big cities is a fantastic concept that definitely resonates with me and I'm sure with lots of others as well.
I've recently made the move to a city for uni and have actually enjoyed the busyness but almost as someone looking in on it and observing it and not really being a part of it.
True!
You are a human being after my own kind. I am an introvert with a long love of street photography, the stories people’s faces tell and the movement of life going on around me when I am at a standstill. I also love nature, and places where man and nature converge. But, I haven’t been capturing anything for a long time, merely mentally composing photographs or using my cheap phone during a complex life interlude. I am finally getting a camera back in my hands in a few days. I am so happy, but I am also almost afraid of what will become of my vision if I cannot create what I see in my mind and find what I want to say. This video has given me a boost, though, so thank you. Blessings.
That’s great to hear:)
I can really relate to your comments about skirting around the edges. I have shot a few weddings. it's not my favourite kind of photography!
Putting yourself in the middle of the crowd and capturing something meaningful is hard. I have worked alongside wedding photogs that do and can do it effortlessly and it makes it feel like hard work when you come out with so little. It's clearly not what I enjoy and - I dont like being that pain in the butt photographer with the camera in peoples faces constantly.
I like your comments about looking at your old work. Most accomplished artists could delete their old work.. not you. It's very refreshing. Love your work
Gosh - I needed to watch this tonight....I get so frustrated about not having a unique style (other say I do - but I can't see it - or the style I have I don't love) am I the only one who feels that - when do you learn to love your own work - the journey is so hard, and forces you to look internally. I still don't know who I am - I don't know if I every will.....I can't wait to watch more of your videos. This is the most interesting and meaningful youtube channel I have come across. Thanks you.
Sean, I genuinely believe you are a master of photography - of light and shadow. Your work is breathtaking.
THX for sharing. 1St. :) I found myself a whole lot in you describing your introvert personality. I moved out of London for that same reason. You are always an inspiration Sean.
I made this comment before I finished watching your video, because I just want to tell you Sean, you are the honest one out there, and that is gold. You may not be comfortable to jump into the street crowds, demonstration, football fans, you certainly are the only few who always make me comfortable and moved. you are so honest, that I feel you are speaking inside me..! Thx Sean. I hope you feel comfortable to be this way..
Thanks my friend. That means a lot.
Sean, I find your work very thought-provoking and immediately arresting. I can see why you admire and find a common bond with Hopper yet
whereas his style evokes loneliness and isolation your work makes me feel that I am observing your subject(s) in a single, unguarded moment; as if I can suddenly see through their public veneer into their private thoughts, if only for an instant. I love your use of light against shadow; color against neutrals that creates such great tension. Your subjects seem so alive in their manmade, inanimate spaces. Because you observe them from a distance it's as if you want to respect their privacy while hoping to simultaneously learn something very intimate about them. I'm an introvert as well so I understood completely what you meant by being uncomfortable being in and shooting crowds. I find photography to be a very solitary pursuit, where I can get in and stay in "the zone" and focus all my attention on what I'm doing without distraction. I prefer shooting nature (animals, insects, flowers, shells, etc), usually at close-up/macro levels, to reveal the hidden details, artful biology and complexities of the natural world, usually hidden from view. It's wonderful to see you encouraging others to find and pursue their own styles. Thank you for the heartfelt video.
Thanks so much Lynn. What a kind and thought provoking piece of feedback. I appreciate it.
I admire the way you do your introspection, you know your self well. Your work it’s a reflection of you, and that’s why it’s unique.
Congratulations
#seantucker - as a kindred introvert (INFP-T), this posting resonates with me so deeply. Anytime I watch one of your videos and listen to your narrative, I feel as though I'm less alone in the world as a photographer. I hope we get a chance one day to meet and discuss the philosophy of what it means to be a visual creative as introverts. Cheers!
Excellent movie. While I am a strong extravert on sight, I do reconize myself in sitting in the back watching out to the world around me. I talk a lot, but not a lot about myself. lol. The hopper comparision speaks loud and clear. Keep sending us your inspiring tidbits. Loving them.
Sean, if and when I get discouraged with my photography journey, I can watch your videos and get inspired again. Thank you. I love your work. You have a special talent.
*The thumbnail photo is just SUPERB! Thanks for your sharing Sean, you are a great human being.*
I feel like we're being spoiled with more than one video a month :-D
This video really resonates with me. Brilliant as always.
There is nothing wrong in getting inspired, thats one of the reason why we buy grate artists books, visiting galleries & museums. Sean, I feel your images are focused more of graphical than emotional compared many other street shooters. To me both have its beauty but awesome when combine both :). Come to Kerala in India, I will take to awesome places if you wanted :)
You’re the kind of person I’d love to sit in a cafe, go for a walk, and chat about life with. So similar to me.
Sean this is one of the most intelligent, passionate and thought provoking discussions about photography and the photographer I have ever heard. Freakin’ brilliant. And ... your images are stunning! Wow.
baffled.
simply baffled.
every time.
thank you.
I cannot fully express how much I resonate with you words Sean. I used to stress by the fact that "I didn't have a style". "Looked" everywhere, texture, framing, color, perspective, work-flow, etc. As I made peace with the fact that my style may be just that: "looking for a style", I started to enjoy much more whatever it was that I was involved in. I mean, commercial projects have specifications, dead lines and metrics. Perhaps on the commercial productions, my style is delivering on time, on budget and in a professional manner. In my personal projects, I've dumped the idea of finding a personal style... If in the end photography for me ends up being a vulgar ego expression, so be it. It's a harmless one and something that really brings peace to my soul. Thank you for sharing. Greetings.
You are describing me in the description of yourself. I closed a chapter in my life that was wedding photography. I needed to become an amateur again to regain my passion for the art of photography. Landscapes are my thing and the solitude it brings. So why am I pursuing street photography with such fervour. I too am uncomfortable in crowds and cities are alien to me, but yet I’m drawn to the city. I think it’s randomness of the unexpected that the dynamic of humans bring to the streets and the light that sculpts its way through buildings and streets. Street photography to me is not shoving a camera in someone’s face and clicking the shutter. My street work is moving towards a more artistic leaning. Your work is stunning and just my cup of tea. I skirt around the edge of a scene rather than be in the thick of it.
Street photography is uncomfortable and challenging to me and that is why I am beguiled by it. I prefer to be in the corner of my subjects eye, in the shadows so to speak. This is what I wrote on my website of how I see street photography.
“We walk amongst you, from city to city, street to street.. You don't see us, but we see you. We work in the shadows, in the corner of your eye. Your distraction is our oppertunity to capture a moment never to be repeated and in an instant we are gone, but to you, we were never there. We chase the light and the perfect moment recording our time for posterity with every click of the shutter". The life of a Street Photographer, by Simon Barnes.
I’ve been a photographer for 25 years and still my style is evolving. I think my style has a need to alway be in flux, to keep,me on my toes, to make it a challenge and to keep me from stagnating. I see street photography more as an art form the deeper I delve into it. One thing I have noticed about my work is how, very often I see a scene unfold and I take the picture, sometimes not realising what the picture means. Then when I look at it in Lightroom I see a narrative unfolds that I didn’t see at the time. Perhaps my subconscious guides my making of certain photographs without sometimes realising it. We are all on a photographic journey. When that journey ends, perhaps only then is it time to hang up the camera for good, who knows. A very thought provoking vlog as always. To me, if there are certain rules to street photography, I guess we should try to break them in pursuit of our style.
If I ever would be able to see my emotions, my thoughts, my internal personality within my photos that would make me really happy! Style for me is a visible personality within something. From time to time I could see this in some of my pictures, which is a great moments for me. Those moments are still rare so I keep on working on my craft to be able of being visible in my work ones. This for me equals the term of finding my style. Great video Sean!
I've been struggling with this question for the last month. Your insight was very helpful and calming. Thanks, Sean!
A photographer is in essence a story teller. The stories are conveyed somewhere between the lights and shadows. The camera is the window and when used correctly produces amazing emotions to all. I relate to your journey and philosophy...
I have learned from your video is that you can't force a style, you need it to come from within over time
Sean your videos are so thought inspiring...sheer brilliance. Thank you so much!
I love your videos Sean! Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom with us ☺️
Your style strikes me as more tranquil and it speaks to me. Maybe because I too am a crowd hating introvert. Great stuff. Almost like urban landscape photography.
I found that interesting what you said about sticking to the edges of crowds like that. I attend marches and protests on occasion and absolutely hate being drawn in to the centre of it all. I prefer to stay on the edges and participate (quietly) from there. What you said about not being happy about the photos you make from there made me wonder if being on the edge is an opportunity to capture those people that aren't chanting and waving placards in the thick of it all but are still there, wanting to make a statement just in a less visible manner. The photos wouldn't be as dramatic but perhaps they would have their own interest. I don't know, it just made me think when you said that. Really enjoyed this video. There is a lot to think about. Thank you.
Sean - you always share the most amazing and well thought through videos. Thanks for sharing so honestly and helping the rest of us wildly 🙌🏼
You´re great, man. Quality and empathic content, always. Big hug from Argentina.
Hello Sean,
What a relief ! Like you, I'm not comfortable with crowds. When I got into street photography, all the books showed pictures of people walking, sitting in cafes, waiting for the bus, etc.
But I couldn't photograph people. I was afraid of their reaction and I had the impression of being indiscreet. Today when I look at my photos, I see that they are just empty scenes with shapes and a particular light. And that's what I like. Your words reinforce my desire to take this kind of photos without asking me questions. I just discovered your youtube channel and I really like your videos. THANKS.
Gregory Heisler said "shoot what you can't help but shoot" ... Your style is like your DNA, completely unique, and you can't move towards it, it's something you see in hindsight. I really enjoyed your take on this.
I related with every part of this video Sean. I agree, your style comes from your own personality. I am also a introvert and my style is similar to yours in single subjects, light and shadows. Thank you for this video 🙏🏽
Love being a watcher. I get totally what you mean you on the edge of the inside.I feel like this all the time.
Style is the bias you bring with you in the creation of art.
best photography videos available, hands down
Every single time I watch your video I have two wires for you! THANK YOU! thank you for inspiring me. You are amazing!
Thanks for this video Sean. You hit the spot.
I have a simple test when I'm looking at other artists. If I unconsciously say "Oooh!" when I see something, I know it's something that speaks to my sensibility. It's a guidepost to what I'm interested in.
When it comes to defining your 'style' or finding your voice in any sort of art, One of the things I think is important is to approach it with a child's understanding. When learning to talk or do anything, children will imitate, iterate and then innovate. We may never get to the 3rd stage, but it's a great way to learn.
Hey Sean! This is a great video, I loved how you used a different medium of art to explain how you ended up finding your style. This helped me try and understand how and why I found my own style and I'm sure it will help many others too! Thank you for sharing!
Thought provoking, just what I needed right now. Thanks 😁
What comes in mind if I watch your motivational videos is sincerety. Being you is the style. For you and everyone else. Thanks!
My style is what comes Natural to me. No effects, no filters, just what my eyes and the lens see. My added take on that is angles, ultra-high resolution, and macro shots.
A great message, communicated beautifully, as usual. If you don't look, you cannot see!
When yo need a soothing video while studying for alevels.... Inspiration and learning combined amazing 😘
This video put me to sleep 😂
I'm silent watcher but your style and information is so genuine, so true i couldn't resist myself, i feel so lucking that i found your channel. I think this video set me for my journey to explore my style and my creative voice as Photographer, UI/UX Designer, Filmmaker and Storyteller. Thank you so much Sir Sean Tucker.
Thanks my friend.
I paused the video at 13:48 because.... everything you said until then resonated with me 110%. The way you described yourself, was basically a description of myself and I understand these feelings exactly.
I'm not completely uncomfortable with photographing in crowds, I think it's easier for me. I walk by, frame, shoot, smile and say thanks and walk away. Although I prefer to photograph single individuals, as you explained as well, as I see myself in them and I can relate to them on a different level.
Your words are like medicine for my struggling self. Your words are inspiration not only for the struggling artist but also for the struggling human being. Thank you so much for that.
I too feel uncomfortable with people focused, often confrontational, “street photography”. Whilst I do street photography and enjoy the places it takes me, it’s not original, but I class myself as an “urban” photographer. People form part of my work, but they’re not the focus of it.
Your "horrendous" IG from years ago are still better than most of us though.
I was in a gallery where edward hopper paintings were, really liked all the beautiful colors and light and shadow palys.
I find it inspiring and liberating that when people said your work looked similar to another artist that you took that as validation instead of saying "oh crap, I'm a copycat fraud". Your videos have been so inspiring to me to realize that looking at another artists work and trying to replicate it is a learning experience, not necessarily plagiarism. You're never going to literally replicate their work. It merely informs your own aesthetic, which develops over time.
It’s too bad that we can’t give you 2 thumbs up. Thanks for this.
I’m sure there’s lots of us that finding our style, our individual voice, has been a struggle. It is worth the journey.
Thank you so much for this, i can relate to you so much. It felt like i was listening to myself how i feel about my photography. The isolation that i see on busy streets, the melancholy. Thank you Sean.

You described who I am in this video. Now I know why I love your work and the kinds that resonates with you.
#IntrovertsUnite ✊🏾
Image a world if the vast majority of people had the soul and introspective of Sean. You are quickly making me a better person despite myself
You should collaborate with Ted Forbes from The Art of Photography.
I did a photoshoot for my friends last Friday and took about 150 images... last night I was thinking about whats style I should give them, I exported them to Lightroom and try several “professional presets” and none of them define my feelings, none of them fulfilled my soul. I decided to go for my own edits and style and I’m happy with it. Also my friends are so happy with their photographs printed. Thanks Sean for inspiring me and make me believe in myself.
Many years ago I was attending a workshop and the teacher - a professional photographer - told me something like this: "Marco, your photos are great, National Geographic could publish them (I melted down), but they are not recognisable as yours. When somebody looks at any of your photos he/she should recognise them as yours". I never forgot that hint. I think that 'style' is just a shortcut to say that the way of seeing/feeling the world together with technical competence let our true self be expressed through a photo
I didn't know my style until someone told me. I was not convinced, but then pulling my view back, I saw it. Thanks for this video.
Style is to your aesthetics as character is to your actions. You do not define it, it defines you. Thank you Sean for loving what you do.
Hello Sean! I first discovered you three years ago when I got into photography and filmmaking. I'm the one who sent you a video from Zambia! Now I have a channel about sustainability (no this isn't to promote myself). This is to share with you how I am utilizing my passion for photography and videography for a topic I am passionate about. Thanks so much for your videos, as they have helped me find my style! Keep it up!
“Gives me permission“ … what a powerful phrase.
For years I struggled with that question of what is my style, because I couldn’t admit to myself that I was a shit photographer. I’m a shit photographer, I take shit pictures. That’s my style. It’s liberating to say it out loud. It has set me free of any pressure. Now I just enjoy taking pictures. I don’t care to show them on unsocial media. For me it’s just a life long record of my life recorded in an art form. Love your videos. Thanks for being so honest. There isn’t a lot of honesty on unsocial media.
You areTHE man Mr.Tucker! A beautifull and utterly inspirational video! Thank you for your brilliant work!!
Sean you are the Anthony Bourdain of Photography. I truly appreciate you being an observer of humanity and use those observations to drive your art. Well done.
That's very kind, thanks.
This is one of the most important videos I watched in a long time. It was not about photography at all. The video tell us about life, about what we are and what we are not. I saved this video. I’m sure I’ll watch it again. And again...
I find your photography as full of meaning as your commentary.
something about your videos are so differen't from the others. thank you for your vision, insight, words, wisdom.
Intelligence, emotional honesty, artistry and humility. I learn a lot. from this guy.
I've described my own style in a very similar way, but for me, my subjects are objects and nature. I'm also a writer and I've long noticed how my stories are always set on non-traditional characters, rather than the characters which appear most important to the plot. I've always been a bit of an outsider, and I see what most people often miss. That essence of missing, forgotten, or unnoticed somethings is a core of most of my creative work.
Edward Hopper, I’ve admired his work my entire 60+ years. Thanks for sharing the descriptive quote of his painting style. Spot on.
What we create is an extension of our own thoughts and perspective - a large part of what draws me to photography and trying to better myself at art in general is wanting to not just take a snap of where I am, but to show people what I see in that space, or piece of music, or whatever else. What my eyes are drawn towards and how it looks to me. It's like the difference between a wide angle snapshot and a picking out a detail in the landscape, I guess.
In that way I guess it's a bit similar to James Popsys' approach to landscapes - you can take the whole vista, but what's more interesting is the part you're drawn towards. If you try to do too much at once, your message can easily get lost in the mess.
Photography isn't the first type of art I got into, so I'm glad I knew from that that I didn't need to "find" a style so much as just shoot what I like and speaks to me in some way. As long as you evaluate your own shooting and recognise which of your shots speak to you more than others, you'll find your creative voice. The fact that we all have our own points of view, tendencies and preferences is what makes art as a whole interesting in the first place so I think it is really important to embrace that, and not to try and fit a square piece in a round hole.
Very few artists are talented and lucky enough to have a style. Most people confuse style with technique ...
Excellent presentation Sean with some amazing photos too! Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Call it street or not. I love the visual emotion in your photos. I'm very introverted and even though I live in a city. I love taking photos of empty scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of horror movies. But, in every horror movie there is a empty scene that has a lot of emotion. That's what I try and shoot because of the feeling it gives me. Very inspirational video Sean. Thank you.
I've wanted to get into filmography or videography since I could remember but I never felt like I had the tools or know how. I have always worked jobs that was never creative . I began my journey to recording video when I got my DSLR Canon EOS 77d in Sept 2017 has been amazing. I haven't made much money however I've been putting myself through the paces to develope technique with photography rather than just cut and past to make quick cash.
You talk about confirmation a lot. The idea of it being... respectfully ...ok to take a photo of perspective. Me learning the inner works of a photo and how I can bring my perspective or story to life with just a photo has layed the groundworks for becoming a better videographer.
I still have a lot to learn but I have definitely learned that it's never just another photo.
THANK YOU for what you do!
You are on a good journey. You have found a powerful place to reach out with your feelings and, you reach at least as far as an ocean plus a continent. You are a very good example of a human living their best life. From one Islander to another, Huzaa!
I have no idea what kind of photographer I am yet, but I love taking photos. I feel inspired by your informed insights to educate myself and try to discover myself. Thank you.
I now understand why am I doing the thing I am doing. Since I am limited (with my gear), I strive to get the best out of what I have. Along that line, I try to learn from everyone so I could achieve that. An you were right, we shoot what we are. Once you mentioned, I realized that is true. Thank you for this encouraging video.
