Shifter: How to do Long Term Projects, Part Two
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Good grief. If you watch this entire thing I'm nominating you for a humanitarian award. Part Two in all its glory. There are more specifics here but there is still a lot to cover in regard to doing long-term work. Each of us navigates photography in our own way but I've learned a thing or two that might be of benefit. Take my opinion for what it is, my opinion nothing more.
The work highlighted here covers a project I worked on for four years. I didn't spend all four years working on this ONE piece, but what you see here is the result of four trips to Sicily. I chose this project simply because it was the first project that popped up when I opened my drive system. I could have chosen a half dozen other projects created during the same time but all the same rules and ideas apply to all. This project IS interesting as it did some a bit of acceptance. This project was published several times, was represented by a Los Angeles gallery, and was also why I was approached by two different publishers who wanted to make this work into a book. I declined both publishing deals as they were, frankly, terrible financial deals. This project is what led me to start self-publishing my work.
Remember, storytelling comes with responsibility. This isn't about YOU it's about THEM. The people you photograph are sacred and should be treated with respect, always, regardless of who they are and what they are doing. If they let you know their lives you have to accept the responsibility that comes with this.
Start small, have fun.
This is seriously one of the best videos I've ever watched. This is invaluable for us who have never ever experienced a conversation/mentoring with legit experienced photographers.
I have my moments. Rare, but they do happen.
Epic video! Keep up the good work. You have me pumped to start a project
Get out there.
Best way to fill a journal entry: watch this film, take notes then reflect. Thanks Daniel and well done.
De-tox from instant sharing......shoot film LOL.
What a breath of fresh air!
Exhale....
if I'm shooting and I take a photo that is not technically say a "great" photo but is interesting and compelling, and adds to my story, and I'll never get that moment back, should I still use it? if our audience is the general public, they wouldn't see the photo like our peers would. Over edited photos is a pet peeve of mine.
Absolutely. "Adds to the story," is the key. If you are talking a portfolio then I would say no. But books and portfolios are very different things.
Top stuff. I have a couple of projects on the go and the two episodes are gold...
What do you suggest is the minimum timeframe for a successful project from start to finish? In my 'backyard' there is an activity I can document. It will take 3 to 6 weeks from start to finish. This will transform the look of our neighborhood. Would that be advisable as a photography project?? Or?.... Thanks for the video.
There is no such thing. I wish there was a simple answer but there isn't. If you LOVE the idea of working on the project, do it. If not, find something else. Most of the time, working on deadline kinda sucks, but it can also force one to perform at a high level. I can't remember the last time I had a project with unlimited time. I'm not sure how I would even begin to deal with that.
Here’s a question that I’m sure everyone thinks about during the work of a “long-term photography project,” - When will I know that I’m “done?” Obviously it would depend upon the complexity of the project on how many months...years a project would take.... is it a gut feeling that you have exhausted the subject? Or....?
I’ve heard answers regarding this from several other shooters, just interested in your spin. Thanks Brother!
You can't hide from your negs. Or files. They will show you the way. Are there holes? Do you have a portfolio or a narrative on your hands? Have you printed the main images and placed them before you to study they work or don't work. Those are the basics, for me, but there are also a myriad of other reasons like losing access, running out of time, etc.
Dan, this is brilliant. You have given me much to think about and much to try to implement. Thank you for this.
Hi Daniel! Glad I stumped upon your channel, been jamming your content for few days and must say I love your work.
I know you don't like to talk about the 'materials'. But trying out vintage lenses is my hobby, could you recommend some for me to look into? Thanks!
I would love too but I'm not really a vintage lens guy. I just don't know that much about them. I have a few but I've had them since the days when they were new and not considered vintage.
Thank you, yesterday i watched this video and take my first notes for starting a project, i am no professional, but i will follow advice, do it slow, do little steps, have FUN.
That's it. Take it easy, make it fun.
Great stuff. Watched Under Fire and loved Salvador. Your videos are the 'most-est honest' I've seen anywhere. Thank you.
A friend texted me an image from Under Fire yesterday. Russel Price is my spirit animal. Love those films. I hope my films are honest. For me, anything else is a waste of time and probably a quick way to a mental health issue.
Thanks for this. Good work. What I like about your videos is that you make me think about how your points could apply to other things I do, like writing. Do I get up close enough when I’m writing something? Am I too detached from the characters? Are they in a space I understand? What am I trying to show? Trying to apply good advice for one art to a different art makes me see things differently and just occasionally, I write something a bit better.
Guess that's a good thing. Intention combined with inspection.
I enjoyed this and part one, some good advice. Many of your other videos are very good too, I'm just lazy to comment on every one I watch.
No worries. Glad you are here.
So this is probably the single most important video I have seen on UA-cam. Not hyperbole. I do nothing but photo essays because I’m trying to rebuild my family’s visual history, which was largely lost to war and natural disaster. But I believe there is a lot of value in them beyond being mementos for my family. I have been looking for an editor to help me identify and extract that value (if it exists) for years but haven’t found one. Not one. How do I find an appropriate editor? I’ll pay them for their expertise. Thank you for the advice and motivation.
Ted, good for you. Sorry to hear about the war and disaster. Go to my Shifter.media site and send me an email. I'll try to figure someone for you.
On the upside, after riding your motorcycle you will be able to leap right off and continue directly into the sawmill and have no need to change into any goggles before tossing logs into it and being sprayed with sawdust. Which also means that you will not have to worry should you go to any form of political rally or protest of any kind, since shit splatter whether from speeches, real shit, or shit that flies when someone gets punched, will leave your eyes unscathed. However, you will not be able to un-see what you do see, so, maybe the glasses need a rose tint. Now, should you find that you are at or near any political rally, protest, newly declared zone of some type, it is important to note IF you smell anything. IF you do not smell anything you know you are infected, IF you do smell something you will know that MAYBE your are not infected. Either way you must take care because the Zom-dromeda Strain (it's like the Andromeda Strain only from China), makes zombies of various and assorted kinds that either A: pull down statues and burn police cars, or B plug their ears and hum, or C: decide to watch UA-cam since the news is so in the tank anyway. Now those without the virus are pondering it all. Best wishes! ;)
Sold my motorcycle but am still considering rose tinted lenses.....
Took me two coffee, a couple of tears, and yes some "i knew it" too. Thanks.
Dan, what would you suggest if you are a documentary videographer too? Just focus on 1 project with video, or do you think could work with both video and photo into the same project, limiting yourself in terms of equipment?
It's possible but not easy. I know plenty of folks who do this professionally. But being a one person band its' easy and your work will suffer. You simply cant' do three things at once and be great at all three. Stills, motion, sound. That is A LOT to ask. Again, I see it being done all the time but most of these projects are just okay.
Just what I needed while researching how to start a project and validation of my leaving the online photo spaces... Thank you.
Good. The online world can be a great way to waste time, which I do think is good for us to do from time to time, but as a space to learn actual photography....not so much.
You remind me a lot of Sean Tucker...not literally but in the type information you give. Its honest and information with substance. Anyway, weirdly enough something I got out of this was to buy the slightly wider prime lens and not the zoom and force myself to get closer to my subject or rather to "move my body". Im a bit of an introvert but I have to lean into my discomfort to become better. Thanks for awesome videos man.
Join the club. I'm a total introvert. I had to fabricate a version of myself to do my Blurb job. Quarantine starts and my wife looks at me and says "You were custom built for this." Yes, primes allow for ONE less item to deal with...zooming. Look for the light, wait for the moment and move your body.
Having been raised on film & darkrooms, I’m geared towards really looking for those few *really good* shots, instead of just shooting off hundreds of shots and hoping something good is in there.
I struggle with reminding myself that “it’s digital girl! you can take more than a few really good ones now!”
That's the way it should be. In my opinion. Photography shouldn't change with tech. And overshooting doesnt' make you better it actually makes things more difficult.
Fantastic tips, I wrote them all down. I really need to get creative with my photography before I explode. I have so many ideas. I need to pick one and go for it, take the step and go.
Thanks so much
Start small. Start close.
Glad to have found this channel. Are those glasses prescription... lol
Yep
One of my most viewed and favourites videos ever. The truth about how photography works is in this video. Yo do not need anything else except watching it.
Ah.....projects. So much fun, so engrossed and so painful at times. But, it's why we keep coming back.
Hi Daniel I did see part one of this Video and it was very good. I agree with most of what you are talking about. I have also been working on my own projects to just do the work. In the past I have been very blessed with most of the things I wanted to photograph were job's and I got paid to do them. I have an idea and then a client would show up and I could use the idea on that job. Thanks for the great information it's gold for a lot of guys.
That's a great scenario. And that allow for the love of photography, or potential love of photography, to continue. A key for longevity in my book.
Daniel is the best communicator on the subject on UA-cam. He's straight to the point. Doesn't waste time (yours). Self deprecating and funny! I'm not interested in being a photojournalist myself, but still enjoy his videos very much! I think I'll be a Master Fine Arts Photographer instead.
I do, after all, have a degree in .......communication! Just don't ask my wife.
As a photographer you just flipped my world upside down
I think that's a good thing.
Thank you thank you thank you!
I could write 20x agreed but that would be boring, but that would cover it totally.
Yes, Sicily is great , Palermo in particular, great for Photography, cuisine is amazing with all the influences of the countries that have sieged Sicily in the past.
Been there, had planned to go back this year, but it will still be there, it's Italy at its purest ! (best gelato in the world, don't try it, you will not enjoy ice cream at home anymore)
I liked to go in the dark alleys in the evening and shoot people relaxing outside, craftsman renovating old buildings but also little harbors in the south were I was the only foreigner within miles shooting fisherman doing their thing. If you are a wedding photographer, (I am not)in Palermo they have at least 5 weddings a day , and man do they know how to do a proper wedding.
Nick Nolte, Under Fire, man this is memory lane, old enough to have seen it when it came out in the cinema, and watched it a dozen time afterwards on VCR and Digital !
Salvador I can't recall but I am downloading it as I write ;-)
Yes man, less is more, you can do a portrait with a 28mm if you know what to be aware off, but people rather show you all the expensive lenses you can buy with their links attached, cause life will be useless without them.
I love sixties music and there are so many great B/W videos of the Vietnam war on YT, playing CCR or The Doors , but that footage is awesome, those reporters were aces !
Well I am glad I found your channel, thanks for sharing your thoughts, and keep safe !!
Sicilian people are awesome. I remember returning my rental car and I go to the airport and there was no parking lot. I see this airport worker and I ask him. "Just leave it anywhere," he said. "Just leave the keys on the dash."
Amen,) you have a cameo in my latest video
This should be a 'How to shoot a long form photo documentary' book.
Yea.....books!
Loved "Under Fire" have watched it dozens of times over a number of decades.
I don't take sides, I take pictures. (Goose bumps, HERO)
Thank you for your generosity, your advice has really got me thinking. Inspired.
Hola Daniel, nowadays you can also add an Instax SP-3 to your small Fujifilm kit, in order to give something tangible back to the subjects of your images ;)
Federico Their Only Portrait I’ve got a bunch of those things and a huge bag of film....
@@DANIELMILNOR505 the SP-2 & 3 are not cameras, but small printers that you can connect wiressly to your X-T2/3/4 to print higher quality jpgs in wallet size :)
Knowing these are a huge call on your time, intellect and preparation, thank you.
Hi Daniel, great content here (content in the good sense!). I am from Sicily but never been where you have! I live in London (UK) and thanks to you I will embark in an attempt of a personal long term project (as long as I will be able to make it) on the area I currently live (Battersea), but will say no more than this! :) In August I'll be back in Sicily for the summer break and who knows I will be able to do something there as well!
Lorenzo, it is an incredible place. Very few tourists, at least when I was there. Simple, beautiful and a place I could easily spend the rest of my life.
@@DANIELMILNOR505 thank you, that's very true. Perhaps I'll share the results in the future. Keep up the great work
Your videos are very thought provoking. Sometimes self serving but always frank and truthful. I really appreciate this. I am interested in knowing your workflow in creating a print product, etc. Not necessarily step by step but in terms on time and knowing when do you start? What parts do you gather before starting? Do you follow a pattern or do you improvise as you go along? Thank you for your time.
Will add this to my upcoming Q&A
Daniel Milnor Thank you for your precious time. I think more of an evangelist you are a sage.
I realy loved these 2 videos. Thank you. From Cape Town, South Africa.
Have yet to hit Southern Africa but it's HIGH on my list. Heck, the entire continent is.
@@DANIELMILNOR505 hoping Nigeria is in your radar as well! I'd be so honoured to host you!
Great job on this by man, I listen to it with headphones on doing some bass fishing. The series would make a great audiobook. Respect
Aloy, you're here too?! Agree with you except for the headphones-only! If you don't watch it you miss the amazing (tmax) images and the glasses. Take care!
I just crushed the barbs on my bass poppers. We apparently have some walleye and pike action here in NM but I've yet to find it. Mostly trout for me at this point. Bass when I return to Texas from time to time. Love it all.
@@AvaSilveryahhh good point sis touche. Lol
This video was a push in the right direction for me as I'm slowly picking my way through the planning phase of my own long-term project. Something I was wondering was when do you think monochrome photography in a body of work works as an intentional choice over simply looking "classic?" Since you seem to prefer it, I'm betting you have a good reason for doing so. And does mixing mono and color often work for a photo series or is that the darkest of sins?
You can mix but it adds to the degree of difficulty. I prefer it because that is how I started my career and was also working in the traditional wet darkroom. Then it just became a way of seeing.
@@DANIELMILNOR505 I see; thanks for responding!
Well that’s me closing my Instagram accounts in the morning. I honestly believe I enjoyed photography so much more before the world of social media.
Social sucks.
@@DANIELMILNOR505 I think social media is the reason for GAS in the consumer market, each product release day floods youtube et al with influencer content on why you NEED this [thing you never needed before] Personally I have a love / hate (more hate) relationship with social media, and I think this video has won me over to taking some long term time away from the 'gram. Please keep doing these videos, and in the same format, the conversation is genuine, interesting and so so refreshing to hear.
Damn straight!
After watching all your first video I've started working on my first zine, a very simple one. I got it yesterday and I feel very proud about it. Yes, there are a lot of things to fix but who cares...I'm looking forward to next (more thinking on this and more autocriticism on choosing pics).
Next step: back to film :)
Give yourself a high-five. That's a big move. Most of what I print is terrible, but I learn from each publication. Enjoy it.
Okay, this is the third video of yours that I have watched today and I think you read my journal. My wife has urged me to stop worrying about IG and pick up my photo project back up and it also falls along the line of what your topic is.
All I can say is life after IG is far, far better. At least for me. I know my views on this are atypical but I detoxed for two weeks and then never looked back. When it creeps into your between-task mind, it's not helping.
@@DANIELMILNOR505 Amen to that! Take care!
I'm interested in the field guide to take with you on shoots - should this mimic the final form I imagine my project will take, or should it be more directed at the subjects I meet, and give a description of the project for them? Should I include information that would be good for the subjects to know, that I will exclude from the final product?
I think I'll do a film about mine, show you what I have. They can be just about anything that shows what you are up to. Mine are a mix of copy, images and design.
@@DANIELMILNOR505 Looking forward to it! I made a test print with a local printer, and I'm happy with the result. Just need to finalize the design before I give it to my subjects
Daniel, what brand cycling jacket is it that you put your AG23 patch on? I crashed and destroyed mine and need a replacement.
That actually isn't a cycling jacket. It's a Beyond Clothing Modus Jacket branded with AG23. They will soon have a very limited number of the AG23 branded option but the regular version is available now. I use a Shower's Pass rain jacket when I ride, which is a cycling specific rain shell.
Thanks for responding Daniel, appreciate it
Traveling photographers and Instagramers have scorched much of Africa, trust is so very hard now for those of us left ... 🤬
What I saw last year here in Santa Fe during fall colors was simply sickening. IG's from California descending on our town, blocking roads, leaving trash and just scorching everything in their path. The least original people on the planet. Standing in aspen trees with lines of products, holding one, snap, hold another, snap, it was disgusting and yet so many people are afraid to speak out about it because they are so hooked on the platform.
"Don't stand in the north 40 and shoot something in the south 40." 💪
Texas logic.
Thank you!
As a linguist, I should say this has been one of the best fieldwork lessons I've ever had. Greetings from Chile, Dan.
Thanks man. Would LOVE to come to Chile. Maybe ride on my bike or moto, fish, shoot, explore, surf. Ahhhhhhh not enough time in the day.
the amount of information you give away for free is amazing
Hey, why not. If it helps someone then it's worth it.
I wanted to do a small project on the travelling community in my home town, it would be considered a bad part but still I thought I'd try it out, everyone I got into contact with were super helpful and considerate, the day before I was supposed to shoot some idiot with a zoom lens decided to shoot from the outside into their little piece of land they had for themselves, after that they completely shut me down, was a bitter pill to swallow, tried to go the right way about it but some Instagram idiot ruined it, I'm all about sharing work online but don't think it for everyone else.
This happens a lot now. IG has ruined many, many things. Natural places and privacy among them. Sorry to hear. You should say "No problem, I totally understand," and then attempt to explain why you are different. Many folks simply do not know.
@@DANIELMILNOR505 hey thanks for replying! I appreciate you taking the time, thankfully I've been in touch with them over this isolation period and plan on taking the long way round, getting access but not bringing the camera for the first while, just taking notes and getting to know the people. That might bear some sweeter fruit!
Another straight talk with interesting points. Thanks for doing this. 👌🤘🤙🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, Daniel! For the amazing content.. So helpful and useful for the project I'm starting right now :)
Good!
Good information as usual, Dan. Always enjoy your talks. Wish I would have run into you while riding the loop in Tucson. But I have to ask, what's with the patch on your jacket? Hopefully it's not something real common that makes me feel even more out of touch with current trends than I am.
ag23mag.com/. This is an ongoing collaboration with Beyond Clothing. I'm about to start an entire film series about this project.
Thanks Daniel. Thanks for all of this. And hate gear questions too. But! Still curious what developer you have used haha.
Other question though. I know what to do. And I know where to work on. And you are absolutely right about everything. Still driven... Still determent. But due to covid-19 I am forced to shoot in my own country. (The Netherlands). But there is the problem where I run into a blockade. I always have had the blockade of working back home. And I am sure about what I really really really love to do. And those my projects abroad. In my case the Israel and the Palestinian territories and Myanmar. Of course still want to go to other places. But that is for later. I have been working on those for a years. And I know the love for a project needs to be there to make a project successful.
So here is my question. How would you find a project in a place where you are not inspired by?
When I started I used D76, as did just about everyone. But I also used Rodinal and Xtol depending. As for finding a topic. Just think small. One person. One location. I lived in California for years and NEVER was able to work in Orange County. Found it insanely boring. So, I would find little things here and here to get my through.
thanks a lot! i am shooting a long term project about studio of trapeze about year and a half now. in your video i had many good tips for me. about that to do then i am finishing a shooting and starting an editing, making of an actual book. To make a pause of couple of months is amazing tip. thanks!
Yes, making sense of the project on paper, in book or magazine form, is a great game to play. Good luck. It sounds like a good project.
@@DANIELMILNOR505 its getting better every time! i see more stuff, i understand trapeze art deeper, i feel more intense, and a photos getting more interesting. amazing feedback from my subjects as well.
last... we need to capture... hold the moment...... thankyou again
Excellent,superb video, thanks for your time. Again love your take on Instagram. Excellent pictures they remind me of some I've seen by Gianni Berengo Gardin. Cheers
i have seen both movies i think under fire is better
It's more photo heavy but Woods was nominated for the Academy Award for Salvador and he was really good.
Extremely helpful. Thank you.
Could really use your advice on finding an editor. I have looked high and low. How do I find one?
Ted, email me. But also, do a search for photo editors or picture editors in your area. Now, the good news is that you can work with anyone world wide. Patience, you will find someone, and I might be able to help
@@DANIELMILNOR505 I'll email you, thanks. When I have searched for "photography editor", I only got Photoshop-type folks, if you know what I mean. I wish the term "editor" wasn't coopted by retouchers.
17:45 They told us at college: the ideal reader is lazy stupid and mean and you gotta write for him 😄
and at a sixth grade reading level.....at least here in America.
@@DANIELMILNOR505 I am afraid so - but they meant it more as an orientation to write clear and concisely
I took your advice some months ago, Dan and get all my ‘keepers’ printed in 7x5 and pin them to boards in my home office/studio. That way, I live with them while I work at my desk and each one tells me a story and reminds me of a specific assignment and experience . I print my best work in A1/2 or 3 and they are framed and cover the walls in my home. I do self-publish my work in hardback book form and am now working on several zines. All that after getting inspired by your intense presentations. Big thanks and keep putting out the inspirational feed.
That is how A LOT of good photographers work I remember watching War Photographer about Jim Nachtwey and he was using the same small print technique. I'm sitting at a desk filled with small print stories going back to the 1990s.
Wow ! Thank you very much for this two videos. This tips are gold ! I'm starting a documentary project and I'm sure that I'll be deeply inspired by this !
Thanks again, Daniel. As an amateur 35mm b&w film photographer (self publishing), thanks for inspiring me not to give up.
Thank you for the exceptional advice.
Best 30 minutes Ive spent on You Tube. Thanks Dan, down loading, digesting and will be implementing on a " target rich environment" soon. Hadnt heard that saying since leaving the forces. :)
Another great video, I made it to the end, all the way to the final tip. If I ever find something I think I could make a proper project out of this video and its prequel are going to be a godsend. I totally agree with not having to much gear, I have more than I need but a lot is historic. Anybody buy a modern digital camera today and still expect it to be purrling like a kitten in 42 years? Didn't think so. I'm currently taking your advice from a previous video and limiting myself to 50mm and living with it; that's working for me.
I strike a middle ground on social media posting - I actually quite enjoy sharing some of my work online (ok, so you now hate and loathe me, I have broad shoulders, I can deal with that). I have two Instagram accounts (okay so now I've upgraded hate and loathe to include revile). On one I share photos of gardens with other people who enjoy gardening and photos of gardens, it's an unofficial community thing. On my other one I share an abstract black and white image most days, I'm improving my abstract black and white image making doing this because I have to go and find that image every day. But that's the edge of my Instagramming. My 'travel' photos (which I'm calling travel because somebody else did, I call them 'photos of places we go'), and other stuff I don't share there.
I always enjoy your content, makes me laugh, makes me think, makes me want to go out and shoot.
Yes, you are dead to me. Kidding. I know my social beliefs run in opposition to many. That's cool. I'm old.
... awesome!! Serious and simple.. thanks Daniel for your time and effort.
Daniel, you are the most helpful person in photography subject I've ever watched in UA-cam. I really apreciate your honest advises and your time you put into this videos. Your channel really proves, that quality is not related in any sense to the number of viewers or how many subscribtions you have. Best regards from Hungary.
Hey Hungary, thanks for that. I don't think I'm in any danger of having huge numbers.
Hi Daniel, I know I can't stand and do what you say, I don't think I'm a documentary photographer, just a full and a hobby photographer, but it doesn't change the fact that you give lots of important information and tips.
Thank you for being here.
Whatever you do is perfectly fine. If it makes you happy and productive, go for it.
@@DANIELMILNOR505 Thank daniel
I was sort of floating along until your smoking analogy, now I understand: everything or not at all.
Thanks for the insights, Daniel. Just finished part one and there you follow up. Stay well
The hidden gem here is: When your camera drops focus, be a badass and layer your narrative. 5:25
Thank you for this video, very inspiring.
I swear, if I ever get recognized for what I do, I’ll be crediting it to you and your videos. Content is so good! I wished more photographers would see this instead of contents on latest photo gears! Keep it going!
Alexander, the gear is the easy road. I think what I'm presenting is the opposite. In some ways, it's easier not to know. To play pretend.
I love the fact that you call them films and not videos. thank you for this valuable information. waiting for the lockdown to be lifted so that i can finally buy your books. take care.
I never thought about this. I guess being a filmmaker sounds better than a video maker.
Another movie recommendation is The Bang Bang Club with Ryan Phillippe, which is based on a true story. The book is even more interesting.
Kevin Carter. Sad story. Great book.
Thank you Daniel. Clear and concise and jam packed! Really appreciate it.
Love your videos. Im gonna do my first long project. Hope to see a color video from u someday :)
Thanx for giving me this insightful story on photojournalism 🙏🏼
Thank you, a great and helpful two part series. Thanks a lot! Perhaps a bit far fetched, but can you recommend a book about photo journalism? Something that provides historic context, shows good (and bad) photo journalism, talks about its place in modern society and how it evolved over the years. A photo journalism 101 if you like.
Oh man, what was that book they made us buy in college......hang on, let me find it. This isn't it but it would be a good start. www.thriftbooks.com/w/photojournalism-sixth-edition-the-professionals-approach_kenneth-kobre/256231/item/6606356/?mkwid=M4TicR8U%7cdc&pcrid=430001108596&product=6606356&plc=&pgrid=99653410533&ptaid=pla-894208912293&M4TicR8U%7cdc%7cpcrid%7c430001108596%7cpkw%7c%7cpmt%7c%7cproduct%7c6606356%7cslid%7c%7cpgrid%7c99653410533%7cptaid%7cpla-894208912293%7c&gclid=Cj0KCQjwka_1BRCPARIsAMlUmEojFMK9KhxGxVh8ZPhMd_E-Xqyam-N7S5hmnbvq2FQuMmiY_YGn90saAodUEALw_wcB#isbn=075068593X&idiq=6606356
Now, I just wanna start this project that I don't know yet...Thank you Dan for these videos, so inspirational!
Great stuff - really useful. Thank you.
This is awesome Daniel. Thanks for sharing and spend your time in this. Really amazing.
#11 is worth its weight in gold. I was on the Algerian border in a remote village working on a project retracing my father's travels through Morocco from 60 years before,, and a local woman kept telling my guide in Berber, "No Facebook!" before I could take her photo. I also love going back to North Africa and sharing prints I made of them the year before. It really builds bonds!
Social media has really destroyed so much. IG is the worst in my opinion. I've watched it ruin the industry, ruin the value of photography and ruin a lot of really good photographers. I wish we could go back in time and rid ourselves of this "thing."
Pure gold …. A genuine non patronising honest educator, tells it as it is …. How much would that ‘workshop’ have cost? - By far the best on UA-cam! Thanks Daniel 😊
My wife is always yelling at me to monetize all this...stuff.
Thank you Dan, greetings from Chile.
I appreciate your time to make these incredible helpful videos. Being able to hear whats really important in photography and the actual reality of developing stories instead of being worried about the gear that we're using makes your content really good and different, Im always recommending you to my fellow photographers.
I asked you a question in one of Marc's (AYP) live videos a while ago about how could we build our reputation as photographers, and share our projects and work with other people without using social media. I'd appreciate if you could talk about this topic, since I find it so hard to get much attention, and reach out to newer people (Potentially somebody to work professionally with) in a society that is deeply immersed in these kinds of platforms. And also what would be your advice and methods of work to totally dump the social media.
Again, thank you so much! I'll always be looking forward to watch, and hear more of your advice on photography.
Que tal amigo? I will add this to a Q&A I'm thinking about doing. Will talk about other means of getting your work out. Great question.
@@DANIELMILNOR505 Thank you! I appreciate it
Thank you, thank you Daniel!!!
I am learning SO MUCH from your videos, totally dorking out over here. Thanks for spending all the time making these + sharing all you do! (ps Your Sicily project is truly inspiring work)! (ppss also, i cannot get enough of these BLURB journals etc. I am so excited to create my first one)!
Sicily was a dreamy project, for sure. Innocent in many ways. Pre-texting, pre-social, etc. Great country and people. Friends helping me out and nobody telling me how I had to work. The journals are ENDLESS. Here is another wrinkle for you. Buy an extra and sent it to someone you admire. A little note. "Hey, I find you inspiring." That's all. See what happens.
Focus is for losers - ask Instagram Sam. Another great video - love this series. I'm waiting for my award.
At least MOST was in focus.
@@DANIELMILNOR505 :)
👏👏👏Great video
Help full, for sure. Thanks,.
Love both parts of your series! Many thanks.
Did you attend UT with Mathew?
Don't think I know Mathew..

With all due respect, and this is not derogatory, you have no faith but you are a mystic.
I don't know what I have. Curiosity maybe. Mystic? Me?
@@DANIELMILNOR505 that's it, searching and soaring
I consider myself lucky to have discovered you. Thank you so much.
Hey Daniel. I just saw this now. Thank you for Part Two. What's the safest way not to miss your Albania workshop next year?
Ava, I think we are going to push the 2020 workshop back to 2021. But, when we finalize I'll be posting about it.
