Maybe it's due to self-esteem issues throughout my life, but one of the things I never chased was perfection- I've always been far more attracted to (and seem to attract) oddities, chaos, and contradictions, and finding the inherent order in those things, rather than imposing any of my order on them. I'm reminded of the Persian rug weavers, absolute masters of their craft who intentionally leave imperfections in the rug, both as a sign of religious devotion and also as a reminder that perfection is unattainable, and acceptance the far greater blessing.
what gets me about your videos is just how well you relate to others out in the world and on shoots. I think that if I learn to talk to people more, it will open up more opportunities for my photography
I LOVE your videos so much and especially your Polaroid series. It’s why I got the I-2. I learn so much from you and you take such beautiful pictures (even if you don’t think so). This was the best one yet.
Another title: A perfectionist’s guide to perfectly imperfect photos. As I strive to shoot more organic and loose, I find myself going through the same creative blocks as you. Thank you for taking us along the journey and helping us overcome!
Thank you for this great video, Sissi! I love the reanalyze, redefine & reset motto - I always learn from your videos in one form or another. Thank you for that. The way you talked about taking the wrong turn, reminded me of the quote of taking the road less travelled. 📷
I love the peak into your creative process. I always enjoy the honesty you bring to your photography and the discussions of it. I am even more tempted to buy a polaroid camera again just to try it out. Anyway, thanks for taking us along on your journey.
Thank you so much for watching this video! I love using my Polaroid, and I’ve been taking even more Polaroid photos ever since I got the I-2 camera. Don’t get me wrong, I love my SX-70 and SLR 680, but the new I-2 is so easy to bring along, whether I’m hanging out with friends or traveling internationally. I highly recommend checking it out!
Yeah!!! 🥰 All is well in the world again. We've both did a reset this summer. Absolutely nailed those Polaroids, especially when you took a wrong turn. I got excited as I'm watching, saying to the screen, wait for someone to walk through the shadow. LOL. Great video! FYI love the microphone.
This video just popped on my feed and I'm so grateful it did! I loved watching your creative process and listening to your thoughts, and the doodles in the photos are so cool
so excited to watch this!! since I can’t find any more sx-70 film, I’m picking up my Polaroid Now a lot more often and it’s definitely a learning curve.
Good question! I should’ve made a note in the video. No, these were all taken prior to the firmware update. I heard great things about the update, I just haven’t done it myself.
Hey, Sissi! Thanks always for the great content! Which setting do you use whenever you shoot with the flash on? Auto, aperture, shutter, manual, etc... I'm a little confused about this and would love your help. Thank you!
Hi, thank you for watching the video! I found that the flash photos work the best on the auto setting with no adjustments on the I-2 camera. But depending on your preference, I suggest that you try to bracket a few stops to find what suits your eyes the best :)
Inizio con complimenti e ringraziamenti: ho imparato cose molto importanti grazie al tuo video! Ho notato anche il tuo outfit splendido e così anche la tracolla della I-2, bianca! La vorrei anch’io: dove posso acquistarla?
The chemistry is new! Not the same as the previous 600 film. They used similar chemistry from reclaim blue and made this one. It has so much more depth comparing to the older 600 and itype versions.
It sounds like you are mispronouncing Perfectionist and Imperfectionist. You must pronounce the C. You think too much. Just schoot more film and think less about it.
Honey wake up Sissi Lu posted a new UA-cam video!!
WE’RE SO BACK!!

Thank you for watching!! 🥰❤️🩹 I’ve been incorporating these practices a lot in my everyday shoots since filming this video.
So cool! I love how B&W reduces an image to the emotion and moment
Absolutely love the music choice
Brings so much life in your videos
Thank you thank you! Spent a good chunk of time finding these tracks 🙏

Haha thanks for watching! The “wrong turn challenge” really pushed me in this process, and I’ve been incorporating it in my daily walks 📸🎞️

so excited to watch this!! since I can’t find any more sx-70 film, I’m picking up my Polaroid Now a lot more often and it’s definitely a learning curve.
i’ve been using my i-2 way more than my slr 680, the newer polaroid cameras are really convenient to bring around!
Outstanding!
Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching!!

This, this is what I want to do. Super perfect.
I'm going to get a 600 type, then invest in a I2 or sx
Thank you for the inspiration
OH LAWD, WAKE UP!

Please do one with the TL70 Plus.
very informative!
thank you for watching 🫡❤️🩹
Thank you for this video, and your thoughts! I've repaired my Polaroid and I want to shoot more on it. Maybe it's a Polaroid era?
maybe it will be a Pola-autumn 🫣🍂🤎
I love the new B+W chemistry. Question: are these taken with the newest firmware update that fixed some overexposure issues with the I-2?
Good question! I should’ve made a note in the video.
No, these were all taken prior to the firmware update. I heard great things about the update, I just haven’t done it myself.
What settings would you recommend to use on the I type 2 for the best photos?
HECK YEAH! 🎉

@@SISSI_LU Thank you so much for your response!
great video!!! Can I ask what camera do you use for your videos? The quality is really good!
The video camera? The vlog type footages are from the Osmo Pocket 3, and the “talking head” part is the Sony fx3 🫶
@@SISSI_LU thank you sissi! keep making these great videos!

@@emmaraem thank you! i make these straps myself, they will be for sale soon! you can find more about the drop on my instagram @sissi_lu
Yeah! What a great video. The new B&W 'roid film looks fire.
Perfection: keep fixing it until it's never finished.
What camera do you use to film your vlog?
Osmo pocket 3!
@@SISSI_LU thank you.
How much is a pack of film for that camera? Your photos are nice btw
$19.99 per pack, 8 shots in one pack.
I'm the same way with shadows. They get me every time!
@@TimothymakeupsDitzler right?? I’m so guilty of doing that 😭😭
Good day = sissilu uploaded

老师好，需要清理一下黑帘
7:00 is grandma rocking a leica?
It’s 600 so not new, but looks amazing

@@SISSI_LU ah I see! Still watching, this really looks amazing! How do you like the camera? I’m thinking of getting it.
The I-2 camera is getting more use than my slr 680 🫣👀
The jump cuts at every 0.2 seconds…
Love your ideas and listening to you. The hand waving in front of your face distracting.😊
Drawing on Polaroids…. I’m down.
It’s so fun, I should doodle more on pola 🤓✍️
@@SISSI_LU going to try this! Greetings from SoCal!

@@jesusisapisces Ok. You may be right. I wasn't being mean so I hope it did not come across that way. I apologize if It did.
