As a data point I found 15 GBP more than fair, and wouldn't have thought 20-25 GBP was too much personally; which would have helped (though I know this moneymaking wasn't the primary goal). Congrats on the exhibition! I imagine you're already thinking about/working on the next project? Has the process of working on the photobook changed anything about your process of making photos moving forward?

For sure, next time I’ll price a bit more accurately for things. Just wanted as many people as possible to be able to access this one. And yeah absolutely!!! Defos thinking a bit deeper about narrative and telling a bigger story, connecting images through the book and all that. So it’s been totally invaluable!

What are the key lessons you'll keep in mind for making the next book?
@Kev_Thomson
@Kev_Thomson 3 ай бұрын
1. Have a stronger timeline (instead of just letting it take as long as it takes. 2. Order test prints instead of paying full price for a draft copy 3. Convert the colours for print immediately haha. And then it’s just I have a better understanding of materials and such now for the next one so there will be less playing around probably, I’ll be able to figure it all out a bit quicker. 😊

Very apropos timing! My wife and I are living in NYC this June/July/August, partly for my street photography. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with the project and a bit underwhelmed with my output so far. Looking forward to getting my copy and having an extra source of inspiration! If you came back or could do it over again is there an area/event/subject/theme you would photograph (or photograph more of)?

Dude thank you so much for getting a copy! 💛 couldn’t understand your headspace more! That’s the same time we were out last year and it was amazing. Hot as balls, but amazing. If I get to go back out there I would just be dedicating a bit more time to “warming up”. I come from quite a small city so the difference for me was pretty wild. I think I would’ve benefited from starting earlier and just getting the first few shots out the way yknow? Instead of waiting all day trying to spot a moment I couldn’t pass on. I wish I spent more time photographing the area we were staying in Brooklyn! But because of Paulie and all those guys I was too damn excited to head into midtown and chat to them hahah. Oh and I’d have shot way more portraits. They’re like a direct link to the place, so I wish I spent more time photographing the locals than I did! Here’s what I’ll say about feeling overwhelmed tho mate. I put about a decade worth of pressure on that trip to really BE something, I thought I’d come back from it and have it all figured out. And all that did was make the time there partly stressful. It took me a couple weeks just to come to terms with being okay with whatever it ended up being and then that actually allowed me to enjoy it, which is when I started making the best stuff! (Obviously) New York is incredible. But unless it’s our permanent residency, I think we gotta see it as one of the best training grounds in the world. It sharpened my eye and skills no doubt, but I wish I didn’t go into it with the pressure of trying to shoot like the goats, and just went in as myself. But I got there in the end and you will to! Just try to embrace it and enjoy it as much as you can! You’re gunna have the best time no doubt 📸🗽

I've thought about this sentiment a lot recently: "I find myself yearning for the moments burned into these reels. Watching them brought me so much joy, and I hope that feeling is shared, even though these memories are my own." The idea of using photography not to record a perfect recreation of reality, but the memory of that reality; and then even more powerfully to be able to get *other* people to experience a memory of a moment they never had in the first place. When I make a photo is it actually just for me? Is it just a happy byproduct that if I do a good job it is of interest to other people?
@Kev_Thomson
@Kev_Thomson 3 ай бұрын
Love the depth - I think it just comes down to intentions. I’ve photographed with the intention of sharing and I’ve photographed with the intention of keeping / taking for myself. I think yeah, ideally, if you’re really putting yourself into the work, if you’re really feeling something when you let the shutter loose then hopefully that feeling transcends the medium and resonates with others. I don’t think it’s something we really can control, but we can certainly take great pleasure in noticing more beauty in the world around us and make effort to pass that understanding on. But honestly who really fuckin knows! Make loads and don’t overthink it haha.

Curious about the settings when you were digitizing as I've never done camera scanning. You were stopped down to F16, but I would think F5.6-ish would be best for balancing lens aberration and diffraction. So, stopped all the way down to F16 you would be getting some softness from diffraction. My guess is that 35mm doesn't need enough resolution for the softness to matter and that F16 simply gives more allowance for field curvature of the lens and the negative having as much leniency for not laying flat in the area of critical focus?
@Kev_Thomson
@Kev_Thomson 7 ай бұрын
You’re pretty much spot on! I used to go for f5.6 and seen someone else doing f16 for their scans so thought I’d see if there was a difference! Honestly? Can’t really tell.

Really nice work in mu city. your pics are great. I have thought a technical question. Are the pic edited ? how do you meter your light. I am strugling with my mp because i have dark pics.. I probably dont have the right method to meter the light.. And i love the contrast and the light of your pics.

Thank you for your kind words. I always tend to overexpose my images slightly. Take a reading for highlights then shadows and go down the middle if not a little over just to be safe. But I do also edit my images! Some are DSLR scanned which gives TONS of room to play in post. 😊
