Thanks Sergio

What I've taken from this video is directly related to your other video I've just watched ,where you try to explain the Language of Photography-life ,like photography, is subjective. Live long & peace.

Primero

I love what you took from Shore's work. I feel the way you do. I appreciate what you do and say and I'm a new sub to the channel because of it.

Thank you for sharing this. I have recently started using photography as a means to find meaning in life. I can say best decision had me going out more and appreciating things thank you for sharing!

Beautiful video

over-rated really.

great video i love stephen shores photos

Parr is an amazing photographer and is one of the U.K.'s best.

I'm all for every photographer doing their own thing which is great but for me Martin Parr is one of the most overrated colour photographers in history. I can understand people loving his work. But there's so much talent out there that never gets noticed. Parr is a great photographer and I like his black and white images but his colour work is overrated . Yet I respect his work. The same with music artists I don’t like, I still respect them for doing their thing.

Me encanta ver tus videos y fotos, además, me gusta mucho que plasmes precisamente eso, lo que sucede con la gente, a cada fotografía le invento una historia o me hago preguntas acerca de cada instante, también sería interesante saber algo referente a las ceremonias, tal vez un poco😅 saber de que se tratan y entender un poco las costumbres y el motivo que hace que la gente vaya a esos rituales 😊

I love your honesty

Very insightful. A good photograph (and a good photographer) can serve several purposes. I think Parr's legitimacy within Magnum was further validated when he was selected President of the cooperative/agency. The English was on the mark. Thank you.

It is really inspiring the authenticity of your sharing. All the best in your work! Looking forward to see what will come from this journey :)

Real people resonate with real life circumstances....authenticity and integrity are what you appear to be seeking....keep an open mind and be patient with yourself. You'll find your way if you are seeking truth and authenticity.

Life is a journey. Things change. Learning to move with the flow of change is a beautiful and rare skill. Best wishes to you!

It’s good that you have the self awareness to recognize when something may need to be reset. It’s better to do something because you love to do it rather than as something you’re required to do. This should be fun rather than “work”. Maybe every two weeks should be every month or every 3 weeks?

Thanks for making this.

I am very much an introvert, but I try to push through my fears and every time I have it has been so gratifying, the same with my very first time of asking a lady if I could photograph her and she was thrilled so it was a really great positive experience for me! I enjoy both candid photos as well as asking to photograph strangers. Great video sharing your fears and how you overcome them😀

Street photographers always have a choice. They get take the risk and take the pic of someone without their permission or they can ask permission. Both scenarios have their advantages and disadvantages. Many people do really resent having their pic taken by a stranger and I don't know if "my" preferences should dominate in that situation.

I have just discovered your channel and I am only a few videos in and already I find the mingling of your perspective, life thoughts and your photography fascinating, and very much look forward to following you 😊 great channel!

Yes - in 2021, I too undertook a 365 challenge. I heard about this project on a podcast and was intrigued by it. It forced me to do different kinds of photography that I may not otherwise have tried. I got a lot of good images from that project.

Another great and inspiring video. Thank you for making me stop and think... I feel as if i'm in a (very long) phase of exploration of the various possibilities in photography that moves me the most. As you said, enjoying the process of finding and taking the photo is also key to me and remains my main motivator. Excited to see where it will take me... The journey is long, and fun!

Superb video that opens our thinking to more inspirational stories

Really enjoyed this. I'm in a discovery phase currently and the concept of planting your feet and drifting around finding a composition that finally clicks is really appealing. Would be interesting to see how this method would translate to less visually stimulating locales. Bali a force of nature.

Although it is project forced by situation, I'm pretty much restricting to hiking with my camera in one nearby park, though it is a big park. What I have found is that I can take my camera to the same location over and over and never take the same photo. A location is ever-changing and radically different photos can be captured from that one spot. In addition, familiarity with a place creates a different relationship with that place than when you first encountered it. You see more, you know its moods. For me, that has translated into photos that have become richer, deeper, and more intimate in their meaning. This all makes the whole experience of photography in this area a meaningful and joy-producing activity for me.

Another good posting! Thanks!

Well done.

Just love what you are sharing Sergio......really appreciate your insights and the time you put into giving us a view into your journey.

Thank you Sergio. The comment you made that in finding meaning allowed you to also find happiness was was a huge eye opener for me. I have struggled to find meaning in my life and in the back of my mind I knew it was somehow related to happiness. Your comments made it clear to me. I am a part time videographer that has recently gotten into photography her in New Mexico. Thank you again. I really enjoy your videos and this one had great value for me.

Super concise accessible language and sharing. Even though i am not a photographer i can relate with your sharings. I hope you can continue to share more with us 😊

This is the concept that hit me when a buddy came by and let me play with his camera. Everything in life had led me to that moment, and no moment has been the same since. Really happy to have come across your channel this morning. Such a refreshing light you just put out into the endless sea of nonsense that’s eating up the KZbin space. Subscribed. Will be awesome watching you grow this channel. 🔥

Most interesting approach that makes a tremendous amount of sense. Something to think about and exercise to put into practice. Tks.

This video got me thinking about the meaning of a photograph and, more specifically, the meaning for my photographs. What ideas are worthy of a great photo? A photo can be very abstract. What's the story then when all there is is shape, tone, and color? So, your video brought these and up lots of other questions and that's always a good thing. Thanks very much. And BTW, your english is precise and elegant. No need to worry about that.

A songwriter sometimes tries to convey the feeling and emotion of an actual event, real or imagined. Sometimes just a general human emotion, love for example, or to rouse people to recognise an injustice. But once done, it will be misinterpreted in a thousand different ways. How much more with photography ? But in the end, if people appreciate the work, that's enough.

I have studied the History of Writing for many years and many people ask, when did writing begin?Most think it did around 3200BC in Mesopotamia but I believe it started in the caves in Spain and France and elsewhere. Those painters were trying to convey an idea, a meaning, a story before they had an alphabet. The first Sumerian writing was pictorial, as was Egyptian hieroglyphs. Well photography is the same, conveying an idea, a meaning or a story. Photography moist definitely is a language, but like languages off the world we sometimes have to understand the language techniques to understand what the photographer is trying to say.

I've now watched 3 of your videos and have subscribed to your channel. I could listen to you talk all day. One of the things I especially like is that you are talking about the philosophy of photography, not f-stops, and expensive "must have'" equipment, etc. Keep up the great work.

Thank you for the story and in English too. Well done, I couldn't do a presentation in Spanish at all.

It never ceases to disappoint me that so many comments seek to denigrate those trying to inform and educate. Yes, this is knowledge that the more expert will already be aware of but I would guess that it’s us not the target audience. That said, there is always something to learn from every presentation, even if it’s just something about oneself. Well done Sergio 👏

Great video for photographers starting their creative journey 👍🏽

As a linguist, photographer, and teacher of composition (rhetoric), this video strikes a cord that makes sense. I like the parallels you raise between language and photographic composition. Nice work. I will be sharing this with my students in the Fall as we start talking about the ways photographers use these elements to create messages. Best to you.

Just wanted to say hi from the Great Smoky Mountains of east Tennessee in US. I’m happy to have found your channel! Watched a couple videos and subscribed right away! You have a better command of English than many native speakers! I enjoyed your philosophy about photography, travel, and life and wish you a great success on youtube!

Sergio, you are simply expressing your imagination. The photos are in you, not out there. The work, the practice is an inside job, it's improving your connection with your inner world. The physical act of photography beyond understanding formal qualities is one of letting go, the rest takes care of itself. You'll attract visually the median of the quality of your thoughts.

Could you tell us which photographers took the photos at 4:59 and 5:08?

Good to meet you and happy birthday this month. Really appreciate your thoughts on photography! Thank you.

LOVED and subbd 👌👌👌

Well said! 👍

What you are saying is correct, but it’s absolutely nothing new, or special about it. Some of the images are very nice though.

Bien dicho! Y gracias
