This channel has become the most important "Photography Channel" for me. It brings so much useful tips, info, creativity inspiration, and more. Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you so much for watching
This may sound odd but, I feel that Harry Callahan has giving me permission to carry on photographing what I want to photograph, no matter what the subject is. Far too many 'pro' photographers today tell you you have to focus on one style, one genre, one technique, one subject matter.
Thank you as ever for another great video.
It's inspiring. The passion for photography and the love for his wife.
I find staying local allows me to explore my photography more because I know I can always go back when I want. I don't feel the pressure of the portfolio shot that a trip to somewhere I might only go once or twice would impose.
I have just finished a One Year Project where I made a Selfie of myself every Day, 365 Days. It was hard and more than once I wanted to quit this, because I 2hat nothing left to shoot", so to peak. But 15 Year is outstanding and really inspiring, I can only imagine the dedication one must have to do such a long commitment.
How fresh and beautiful the images of his wife are. Just simply beautifuly shot. So tasteful and unique. I LOVE the creativity between the two.
I concur. Harry is truely a inspiration as you have point out. Get any book of his and you will not regret it.
Thought provoking idea. As a landscape and wildlife photographer, the hunt for something different to photograph has been a constant difficulty. The idea to photograph the same subject, but add different techniques, not just seasons, is giving me ideas. Thank you very much for the efforts you put in to help photographers improve their own creativity, by giving us examples of how others have achieved it in the past. Keep up your excellent work.
Awesome, thank you
As someone who loves to photoshoot landscapes, the rising price of gas along with the higher cost of food leaving less for gas, I've been forced to mainly stay with the local scenic areas this last year or so. Finding new pictures in the same places has been very challenging but I think it's increasing my creativity.
It totally does. I’ll bet if you look around you with fresh eyes, you’ll find something that you never noticed before.
Where are you watching from?
@@ThePhotographicEye I'm in Prescott Valley, Arizona, US. I've been doing most if my photography in the Prescott National Forest and the lakes in the area.
This video came Just at the right time for me. Currently im struggeling a lot what to photograph, what is even worth to be photographed?
Beside my two little girls there is nothing that makes me so exited to take a photograph of.. and in my mind there is some sort of gatekeeper which holds me back.
So thank you for this freeing Video Alex!
Ask yourself what/who are you photographing for? If it’s just your girls that interest you - there’s nothing wrong with that. Just photograph them.
Just photograph anything that feels fun? If it's just your kids that's fine too
Just keep photographing your kids. They are the most important thing in your life (or should be). There'll come a time when they don't want to hang around their old Dad, with lives of their own.
I'm always taking photos of my son it's amazing how quickly he goes from one phase to another, he tires from it way more quickly then I ever will
Thank you. All the best. 👍📷😎
Thank you so much for this video and your contribution to people and this craft ❤🙏.
Thanks for watching
Excellent
Hi Alex.
I'm so glad you made this video.
They always talk about your own niche.
You have to specialize in one way of working.
Your work must be recognizable.
And then Mr. Harry Callahan comes and says; if you get bored with one way of shooting just take another way.
As it were, I like to photograph still life, but when I'm tired of those then I just go into the woods and see what can be photographed there.
This is a great attitude very liberating and very educational for me.
Thank you for the work you put into it, Alex.
Antoine.
Yes it’s a great and liberating way of thinking about it isn’t it?

@@ThePhotographicEye The Netherlands. And I enjoy every video you present.
Very inspiring
I can relate to Callahan's methodology. Great video Alex.
Thank you
Thank you very much, Alex. This video came at the perfect time for me.
Thanks for watching
Inspiring work.
I wonder what he’d be like in the days of digital? The ‘problem’ with digital is that you can take a million photos with no real cost. Back in this guys era, it was only film with the associated development time and cost.
Would he have taken a billion iPhone photos that nobody really cares about or sees ever again? Curation is an important aspect of modern photography…
if it’s possible more videos like this please. 😇😇😇 They’re quite inspirational, i’ve been taking photos seriously for 2 years now and i would not think that i will come to an uninspirational point where I am at the moment. So this video helped me to free up my mind and ambitions. Cheers. 🙏✌️
Awesome, thank you for watching
@@ThePhotographicEye Thank you for your effort and time for creating this content. The best and inspiring all the time 🙏🙏✊✊
.a quick check in from Florida
I photographed my children for the last 25 years.
Is it the same? 😂 definitely not!
Thanks to your video a few weeks ago about the square format, I've changed on my phone to 1:1 and I'm rediscovering that great format, also I only used Hasselblad at school or when using my 4x5 camera.
.a similar analogy ..my daughter gets mad at me when I point the camera in her direction ..that said she allowed me some wiggle room yesterday at her scholar ship ceremony ...17 years
He has child like curiosity. Picasso said if you want to be great artist be like a child
🙏❤️🙏
Now just give a woman who have patience for that.
Did he run out of film ever? ;-)
Also apparently he was terrible at organising his work. Just dumped negs in a box marked ‘Chicago’!
I have noticed - nearly since my first interest in photography - that you can tell how the photographer feels about the subject. That's why, when I wanted a head shot, I picked the setting and pose myself but I asked my son to take the photo. Because I wanted somebody who loves me. The Mr. loves me too, but he is so impossibly logical that his photos of me are quite, quite close to objective reality. Which was fine when I was in my 20's but, at this point, I don't find it very flattering. lol
