    I really like how you give fellow photographers a space in your channel. And with them you produce very nice mini-documentaries. Well done Sean.

    I loved this video. I wasn’t even interested to watch it at fist, honestly but I trusted that you always bring quality material for me to absorb. I’m new to photography. Only the past 13 months or so but I love it. I dream of leaving my job as a janitor to play with my camera full time. This has inspired me to sneak my camera into work to get shots that only I can get, in order to tell a story that only I can tell. Thank you both 🙏

    What a lightbulb moment! And it just so happens that my wife is a dog trainer. I make videos and photos for her, with her clients, but I never thought of doing it ‘for me’. As you always do, you’ve once again provided clarity and inspiration for me. Thank you.

    Shooting the things you see everyday is great advice. We all see something interesting wherever we are. 👍

    What a great guy. What he said last about taking a photo of the same thing for a year, since I started getting into photography seriously over lockdown, I found myself doing exactly that. I find that placing limitations on yourself can really force you to think creatively, to see something differently to how most people do.

    I bought this audio book for the sole purpose of supporting Sean. I didn't really think much past that. I just finished and all I can say is it is one of those books that has the power to change someone's life. It is incredible. I intend to listen ti it several times. Even if some of the shared struggles and stories aren't personally relatable, everyone knows someone that would relate. This book has come up time and again in my conversations in the last week and I believe it has helped me become a better listener and more compassionate conversationalist when discussing my friends struggles with creating. Do not think twice, buy it!

    I love your work from photography to YT videos(probably have watched all of them by now). And for me, this one is the most inspirational. When somebody is new in photography we always tell them to not worry that much about the gear, you don't need much to take amazing shots. This story shows that you don't need much to work on an amazing project. And you don't need much in life to be happy.
    Keep it up!

    Now that was such a lovely video. I loved the way Ben spoke from his heart about the thing he loves to do and what superb pictures at the end coupled with the music. Absolutely excellent video. I have two fluffy wheaton terriers and I only have those 'sweet' photographs of them that Ben talks about. Going to take my GR3 and flash with me now every time I go out. Thank you for the inspiration Ben and Sean for making that video. Superb!!

    These are so amazing, they carry over that conversation feel from your own videos which I love but they also take you into a photographer that I may never find or only see a picture in my feed on social media and not really see the story. This tells me who, what, where and most importantly for me the why and I get to see the world through their eyes for a bit. It may change how I look at my world a little bit and maybe I notice something I would have walked past a day before. I’m annoyed I didn’t get notified this went up and just found it now, I look forward to the next one more and more with each video

    Fascinating interview and so stimulating! Thank you both! It certainly resonated with me…during the lockdowns I ended up walking the streets of the country town where I live over and over…So I decide to create a photo book just for me, of details That I could see, i started with front doors, then moved on to letter boxes, door knockers, chimney pots and so much more…I discovered so many interesting things that I had walked past literally for years but never really observed before…I put sets of about 9 pics of the best categories together and now have a oneoff book I am proud of..I showed it to a few friends who were fascinated and blown away that all these details were in our neighborhood…. I highly recommend doing something well just for your own satisfaction as Ben suggests!

    Exceptional photo's and excellent advice/comments from Ben. If the dogs knew how to trip the shutter these are the photos they would take. Great job of letting "us" peek into their world. Sean, as usual, your thoughtful and comprehensive approach to photography leads to exceptional videos like this one. Just keep doing what you do, as the comments below prove there are tons of folks that appreciate it.
