Love this video, and completely agree with the view on capturing the ideas and things you want to capture as opposed to only chasing nice compositions. A wonderful reminder for anyone starting out in photography. Subscribed, and I think I might find myself coming back to this video a lot. I think a lot of it comes down to valuing your own work/product because it is your work and because it captures things you hold dear or think are important as opposed to only conforming or chasing an external validation of your work. But on the flip side with rising prices of film it’s hard to let yourself explore and not feel like you need a higher hit rate in every roll or that you are wasting film (and money) when you don’t capture something that is ‘nice’. Fully agreed that it is ultimately about finding your own voice and realising how you want to portray your view/perspective of the world.
7:22 Would love to hear your thoughts on this communication aspect of things and taking into account the subjective experience/insight of the viewer because photos don’t exist in a bubble and as important as capturing your view is, it is almost equally important to understand how your view is perceived (the other side of the coin basically). Thanks for your content, this is brilliant and you have a great way of putting concepts and your ideas across.
....you have explained yourself very succinctly, I share your belief, the appreciation of what others see with a camera in their hands.......... the camera is for everyone, and everyone is their own saviour......what a great place to be....
Wonderful thesis on the heart of photography of any kind, really. If you're just looking to take pretty pictures, they're more than likely going to lack depth. There must be more to it than that or else we wouldn't feel moved by "imperfection" and/or ugliness (reality). Studying and building upon the ideas of other photographers is certainly a solid approach to photographing with more intention. Love the philosophical content you've given us here, Jeremy! Gear talk, film-stock selection, existential quandries----they're all great! Thanks for putting in the work and sharing your thoughts with us.
Wise words and great advice! Looking at other photographer's work, approaching photography from emotions or passions are great ways to reinvigorate one's photographic journey. I too am at a point again where I start to question what's the point, what will I ever do with all these photos, do they even mean anything. My current strategy for getting out of this rut, is to define and work on a personal photography project. Your video provided ample inspiration to do just that. thanks
This is one of the best videos about photography I've seen. Thank you.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
ive been trying to understand this concept for the last 6 months. thank you
Damn it feels like i just got a free lesson from rick rubin. Please post videos about how to choose/process film and about your photobooks! Thank you!
Beautiful words and advice. Thank you for sharing
