In this video I head out onto the streets of Soho in London, with Joshua Jackson, to talk about creating mood and mystery in your street photography. He shares his philosophy for capturing the city he lives in, including how he uses the concept of 'the curiosity gap' to mask and abstract his subjects, encouraging those who view his work to lean in and spend more time with the image to find out more. I also offer some thoughts on work ethic and defining a style for your own work.
Share this video on if you enjoyed it.

Sean, I think you highly undervalue yourself. I’ve listened to you a lot, through your videos and podcasts that you’ve been on. Your videography skill is incredible. You took this guys work, and put him into it. All of the shots that had a red hint to them really felt like he was put into his work. It showed him and how he see his world. Absolutely amazing how you did that. And my personal favourite thing is the way in which you did it so simplistically.
Which podcasts has he been on?! :) I'd really love to listen to them!
That's really kind mate, thanks. It was what I was going for, so it's great to hear that it hit the mark.
I've embedded a few on my 'about page' here if you're interested: www.seantucker.photography/about/
@@seantuck Thanks :)
@@user-ow7bi3se2b I came to ask the same, jejeje
the way you color corrected the video to fit his style is a nice touch
right??
Thanks mate:)
@@seantuck Is it color corrected in post? Did you use a color filter or was it just red lighting on the streets? It is good. Great job!
@@rgr_b I deliberately shot it with day light balance in camera to keep the warm tones of the tungsten lights, and then we just walked around looking for interesting light. I did colour correct in post as well obviously.
Love your stuff and the videos! How about a video on colour correction? I think this is a more difficult issue for many.
Hands down one of the most comprehensive Photography channels on You Tube!
Yeah! Truly a special channel. Other personal favorites of mine include Jamie Windsor, and Chris Boland.
Joshua is a good photographer but, my god, Sean is a great narrator, writer, producer, film maker... and I haven’t even seen his photos yet. Excellent job on this video! I always wanted to do street photography but never knew where to start. This video really motivated me and I can’t wait to get out and start start shooting. Thanks!
I couldn't hit the like button fast enough. This was like a Master Class on street photography.
It reassuring to know you can hit the like button before the play button
pcdrocc absolutely agree!!
I really liked how you described that he isn't booking flights to big, aesthetically-pleasing cities to shoot amazing images and that he's really getting to know one city. I'm not gonna lie, my excuse of not going out to shoot is because my town is small and it becomes an eyesore since I've lived and grown up here. But this inspired me to really make the effort to see things through a new perspective, especially being in a small town.
Thanks for another amazing video Sean!~
I so feel that, I've lived in the same house in the suburbs for my entire life and Atlanta is an hour away and I don't know it well and it's a rather ugly city anyway. I've been wanting to find a way to capture the area though, someway to incorporate street photography into the boring suburbs on the edge of cute and rural.
That's great to hear.
Clacking Computer I’m not sure if you’ve ever heard of Evan Ranft but he does a lot of street photography in Atlanta and makes it look quite beautiful. Check out his channel if you haven’t before.
@@matthewallen4266 Yeah I've seen his work, he def does some interesting stuff and I need to check out some of his locations. Atlanta just sucks in terms of color and lights and the aesthetic I really love
He does work in London though which IS a big, aesthetically pleasing city! ;-)
you're not one of those people who just sell their own "cheap tricks" to get more views and more acknowledgment. You're someone who encourages people to go out and fail at their work, day after day after day until they get one small improvement at what they're doing. Whether its Photography, or maybe some other ideas people are willing to put their effort on. I TRULY ADMIRE YOU.
Love this, other artist introductions, more of this please
Sean, I love how you dive deeper into photography and not swim at the technical surface. I really like the technical aspect but it is very refreshing and inspiring to listen to your and other's philosophy in photography!
I've become addict of your videos. They are so far better than 90% of the photography You Tube videos because they always stimulate my own thinking about this amazing practice we are all engaged in. I've been a photographer for over 60 years (now 76) and joyfully I am still learning. Keep 'em coming.
This guy explains everything so clearly. I enjoy listening to him.
God why do you hold a mirror to us, showing us we are sooooo lazy, I know I am! Thank you for driving us forward x
I imagine this guy making a documentary series of half an hour or one hour each episode, about photography on National Geographic, I would totally watch it. I feel like it would be something beautiful to watch, great philosophies, great advice, what it means to him and other photographers, etc.
He's videos have the quality to be at that level.
I really cried because you have given me hope Sean. Thank you so much.
2 years in not really a reference, at least this story tells me that. Giving his work ethics and hours a day he puts in his photography, by some "normal" standards you could say that he is a street photographer for 8 years. And even better, he is consistent, which is like 16 years :) For everything you do or learn in life, when you make big breaks in between, it takes so much more time to get to a certain level.
Thank you for this, and all your other videos. Very inspiring.. it's 9PM, I'm going out to shoot now..
Cheers!
I had the pleasure of Josh showing me around the Carnaby Street popup Photography Exhibition he was involved in last year, having gatecrashed somewhat as they were setting up. A top guy, really passionate and knowledgeable about his art and great to see him getting the broad audience for his work that he deserves. Great job Sean.
Amen and thank you.
Knowing the city, the rhythm, the lights across the seasons.
No need to fly to New York to have moments to remember.
Streetphotography begins in your own backyard.
I can't say enough about your image channel Sean. I've been shooting, evaluating and teaching photography for over 30 years, I really enjoy your style of showcasing the medium. Your down to earth straight on approach keeps you engaged and the message really hits home. For years I've been complaining about elevating my photography to the next level when really putting the time would move me closer. Thank you, continue the inspiring work you do.
Love this video. Best piece of advice I ever got in art school was, "You've got 1,000 bad designs in you. You've got to do all of them before you start seeing the good ones."
Felt like the shortest video I have ever seen on youtube.
This video is not a content, its the heart of photography.
Thanks youtube for recommending Sean to me and thanks Sean for recommending Joshua to me. 🙏
Dude, I found this so refreshing, I'm so sick of the "what is up guys" crew. This video is honest and down to earth, totally stoked, thank you.
Hell yes, two of my favourites together in one vid.
Adam MacKintosh Photo dude I freaking freaked out when i saw shawn bring up joshua. I still anm! I will be watching this video over and over again for sure
Totally worth it! I'll be doing the same when I need an inspiration boost.
Adam MacKintosh Photo same feeling
I truly believe getting out on a daily basis to shoot is the best practice to developing the skills to capture compelling shots that can become moments in time.
I love rewatching this video of Mr. Jackson, after 4 years, from time to time. It keeps inspiring and motivating me for street photography, his style of viewing unnoticed or common things on street is so amazing.
I’ll also add, I went out with another photographer myself a couple of weeks ago, first time we’d met but run a Facebook group together. I found it pushed me to do more and watch the different way he worked compared to myself. We built our confidence with asking people if we could take their photo. He noticed that I don’t take as many people shots compared to him.
This is probably one of my favorite street photography videos ever. I find myself coming back to this video for inspiration, guidance, and motivation time and time again. I've lost count of how many times I've watched it.
Still my fave Sean Tucker video of all time. It captures the magic of London street photography perfectly, it really evokes an emotion in me that I can't explain.
Sean, you’ve cut through all the film flam and gotten to the core of photography- the heart and mind of the photographer. That’s where the secret lies in the magic of a great shot. It’s not about the machine(the camera). It’s the creative spirit driving it. Bravo Sean. So informative. That’s why these episodes are so eagerly awaited.
This video is more than a year old but I have only just found and watched it. I've read through the praise in the comments and just want to add my appreciation for this brilliant documentary on Joshua's work. It is deeply inspirational for anyone who takes pictures, not just street genre; to know how much the great photographers think about their signature style and their philosophy behind it.
Also to learn that this guy can walk the streets from sunset to sunrise, taking pictures and observing every detail - and then consider he is only truly happy with about two shots per month. Wow - I mean just WOW.
Thank you Sean and Josh. This is UA-cam at its very best.
Thank you for turning us on to Joshua Jackson.
Sean, I'm pretty sure that it's been said to you Multiple Times. BUT, you don't know how much I appreciate the content you are making. I've learned DEFINITELY A LOT from you. The thing that really makes me watch ALL of your videos, is the passionate, professional, unique content you're making that CAN NOT be seen in anybody's work.
Keep it up
I really have to skip back or rewatch so often, just because i fail to listen to the practical information while your video is just feeding my soul.
100% true! This was more insightful than any of the classes or courses available today. Why? This is because understanding the work ethic and thought processes of other creatives informs your own and allows you to push yourself further and further!
I love how the analogy of the comedian plays into the video itself. We are taken a much longer, deeper journey of Josh's photography, so when we finally see his gallery of photos at the end, it means so much more.
I'm late to the party with this, but wow.....what an honest, inspiring and intelligent presentation. Great to shine some light on Josh Jackson's talent too. Thank you!
Love your videos. You spend a lot of time asking the why behind what we are doing. You always find interesting people with different perspectives. Thank you for your time and effort producing these thought provoking and beautiful imagery.
Thank you for sharing Joshua K. Jackson with me. I identify as a street photographer. I feel displaced living in Seattle. I was born & raised in New York. Even after living here 20 years I am constantly reminded I no longer live in New York. We don’t have the population density that New York Has. This is a city that goes to sleep. The lite rail and buses stop running around midnight. Being downtown is frightening. There are virtually no people on the street and the only vehicles on the street are buses. There aren’t even taxis. Suboptimal photo opportunities.
I hang up my camera when the sun goes down. Watching JKJ showed me I am missing a whole different world. I am a nurse that works at night. I sleep in the evening and am at the hospital at night. On my one night off a week I love sleeping in the dark. I am going to have to explore Seattle at night on that one night I have off.
JKJ works hard. He works long hours. There is another way. I watched a talk given by Alan Schaller. Please talk with him. He said he works ~ 1.5 hours a day. He stops for a beer or other libation during his day so it isn’t a constant 1.5 hour during the day. He stated he finds his work exhausting. Just another way of doing and seeing.
My work looks nothing like JKJ orSchaller. Quite frankly, I like their work more than mine. I just enjoy walking the streets. I enjoy seeing, or trying to see, what is around me that others don’t see. It is like I’m in an alternative universe. Almost like being a schizophrenic. In a sense I’m experiencing visual hallucinations but of course I’m not. People on the street are going about their lives and don’t realize that at the same time they are proving entertainment and the opportunity for me to try to create art.
I can’t create images like JKJ, Tucker, or Schaller because I’m not them. All I can do is create images only I can create. I have to be satisfied with what I create. I can strive to grow my vision and maybe someday you’ll interview me.

Really like to learn from all these humble and talented people. It is wider than just photography.
Sean. You are deep waters full of wisdom and beauty; never stop taking us into these depths. I love the music choice of dark chocolate cellos going on in this one. Your taste is impeccable.
GREAT advice Sean. You're 100% right in the fact that one simply must keep taking photos, don't stop, keep taking them. For every single amazing shot I get, I take 50 bad ones.
Sean, I honestly couldn't appreciate this video enough. it was absolutely incredible. So inspiring.
Joshua's work reminds me so much of Leiter's it's actually incredible
I've been learning thinks from youtube for more than 10 years. I've learned to craft and render 3d objects, I've learned to weld, how to forge armors and grind knives, I've learned machining and photography andy videography and copywriting, and a lot of other things in between. On this journey, I've encountered every sort of creators, but two of theme stand out to me: those that show you how to accomplish a specific task and those that by sharing their experience can transmit the raw passion for every step of the process are able to put you on the right way of thinking to do your own thing. I call them the "how to guys" and the "legacy guys". UA-cam is full of how to dudes, but every niche has few legacy guys and, if you are lucky enough, you will find one that clicks with you. Sean, you are definitely a legacy guy, and I've been lucky enough. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Every time you post a video you help me get more motivated about photography.
Thanks Sean
Joshua K Jackson, the guy who appeared briefly in one of Kai's street photography videos, is actually a master.
Sean this is a brilliant video. I love the messages you convey, as well as seeing the world from Joshua's photographic perspective.
Watched it when it was originally posted but after today’s video with Joshuas book, this takes another dimension. Thanks for being such a great mentor, Sean :)
This is by far the best of your YT videos...soo inspiring. I love JJ's work and have been waiting for a long time for this video. Bravo to both of you guys!
Outstanding night walk on London! The production, ambience and color temperature are cinematic!
Your posts are most helpful. I really appreciate it.
I love the contrast of his outfit. I love the red strap of his Leica camera and his black coat. The way he dresses shows he can balance his colours. Awesome, photographer.
So by what you have said, I can be a awesome photographer if I dress nice?
There's a lot of wisdom in this video about street photography.
This is 19min 36sec of perfect film making. Excellent stuff. Thank you
Just wanted to thank you, I found your channel today (10/3/2020) and this is only the 2nd video of yours I have watched . I can already tell that yours is going to be one of the most watched channels I am subscribed to. Thank you so much for your insights and advice.
This episode is pure gold! Thank you so much for sharing, looking forward to see your next video
Sean, i believe that this video made me want to try street photography, such an inspiring video and your gifted talent as a videographer is priceless a true master class video. million tnx for this Sean.
I really enjoy listening to you talking, Sean. Your voice and words are brilliant!
Love Joshs work, the depth of his images is amazing.
Very well put together, Sean, the b-roll really highlights his way of shooting!
Thank you for this. I’ve loved Joshua’s work for ages, it’s great to hear him talk about his work. You are both some of the most inspirational photographers to me.
I follow a lot of UA-cam photographers, vloggers, influencers etc...Sean's channel is Number One for me.
Speechless
Brilliant! How often we fall for the idea of an outcome, instead of learning to love the process. Your videos are so very thoughtful and inspiring. Thank you sir.
Loved the whole ambience of the video. Epic background music (Is it Indian classical?) to indistinct chatter when Joshua was talking to incorporating reds.
I love night street photography and this video perfectly encapsulates that feel of city at night.
Love the feel to your videos, thanks for all your work! 👍
Brilliant! Grateful for Sean Tucker, straight up honesty and no silly gimmicks. Always looking forward to the next discussion.
absolutely fantastic Sean... I have been wanting to learn a bit more into the thoughts and process of Joshua in this past week and low and behold you bring this out. The vibe, style and execution of this video is superb.
Simply, thank you !
I truly appreciate your straight forward style in how you deliver information, it's through the honesty of fellow artists that we grow and become better. You're a natural at teaching, thank you for sharing.
What a wonderful philosophy of photography. It’s good to be reminded that great pictures do not come without time and effort, and yet that an amazing image can be found right around the corner if one is willing to look closely enough.
Great video!
This video is simply amazing. On another level! Thank for this wonderful content!
I definitely appreciate the whole “Do what suits you approach” because it’s unique and it’s basically your style. Instead of copying someone else. I mean in a sense you can learn from someone else. But you don’t want to be a carbon copy. This video was super helpful and inspiring. Thank you for the great content.
A huge thank you for some of the finest photography-centric videos available on the tube. The work you put into it is palpable and remarkable as the intent comes through, sight and sound. Much to like and learn from.
Best wishes for the new year.
Best video I've seen on UA-cam. Ever. Thanks to Sean and Joshua for being an inspiration to many.
This is a master's talk. Thank you, Sean and Joshua!
I can say that i'm quite grateful of knowing this channel, every video it's a new lesson to learn in photography and life. Thank you, Sean :).
Man. This was amazing! You're easily my favourite source of photography content on UA-cam. Thanks so much. So much inspiration.
Love this video. It's wonderfully motivating. Each time I find it difficult to grab my camera and go out for a night walk I just watch this and the batteries are recharged.
Just getting better and better Sean!!! Can't wait till the next video!!! Tks!
Thank you for this video. I love Josh's style, approach, and the way he challenges photography norms.
Really enjoyed this episode. Looking forward to the next one.
Wow. His work is amazing and his work ethic is incredibly inspiring. The visuals to music was a great match. So moving.
I think this is one of your best videos, if not the best one. Great content, great feel, great rhythm. Thank you for this, Sean!
Another quality video Sean - thank you once again for the effort you put in. Quality shines through your work. I love Joshua’s work - his images are so consistent, interesting and full of that curiosity he clearly works hard to generate. Thanks once again to you both for taking the time to create this fantastic film on creating, generating and building a style that is unique and reminding that in the end, it takes time, effort & commitment.
Probably one of my favourite videos from you yet! The cinematography, the quality production of the piece, your brilliant perspectives and of course, listening to Joshua. Simply sublime.
Two of my faves. EPIC!!!
Sean, I've watched this episode many times an each time I take away something new. Bravo!
Beautiful and powerful. Much respect extended to Joshua and of course Mr. Tucker for this ultra inspirational video portrait.
This video is so good that I'm watching it for the third time already. Not only to get some more details out of it, but also because it's so brilliantly shot. Thank you Sean and Joshua!
Thanks for this crazy quality content. I've falling in love with London with this video by the way
Great to see Sean working with Josh. Always referencing your videos and work to see how I can improve my own work and life. Keep up the great work. Already looking forward to the next video.
Fantastic. Thanks for making this Sean.
in every one of your videos i am more and more amaze of your creativity and geniusly way to intrigue the people with all you do my friend congratulations and over all thanks so much for your collaboration that you give to people like me who are learning photography in a practical way my respect and appreciation .
Thanks very much Sean for this interview/video. Very inspiring!!!
Oh how I enjoyed this video, so much insight and beautifully produced. Thank you.
I’ve gotta be honest that as I have watched nearly every single video that you’ve presented, each one continually gets better than the one before it. I am grateful for the thoughtfulness and perspective that you bring to your work and photography in general. Cheers and keep it up!
thanks for making this Sean, Josh has quickly become one of my favorite photographers. Love his work, it's so unique.
Hey I just would like to say thank you for all the video you have made so far, more importantly the gentle and dedication you devoted into each of them.
thank you so much. this is the most inspiring channel i have come across.
Fantastic viewpoints! I'm totally loving this new window into other Street Photographer's way of seeing. Totally awesome!
I participated in one of Joshua's street workshop on the strength of this video when I recently traveled to London {Mar 2019}. Sean's words and thoughts are focused and inspirational, and I love to revisit and re-listen, and I know many who feel the same about his videos and advice
Outstanding-not just for the content but for the fact the nighttime cinematography felt like Joshua’s photos. Well-played, sir.
