[@scottrgarland]

I love you just DUMPING on the other photographers bashing on "Instagram photographers." I'm in a local photography group in my city and there's a bunch of older guys who have been doing phtoography their whole life who ALWAYS shit on people and question everyone because they think they're better or have more experience. Yet when I see their images they just shoot in a studio, with studio lighting, and it looks the same as my highschool year book photos. THAT's a whole new type of photographer that I see a lot and they're annoying. Anyways.. great video and I love the zine idea!!!

[@DeeRosa]

Lmao man I just hate that talk. It’s useless.

[@TheWutangclan1995]

Honestly they should be really lucky they can make a living and it’s stabilized. Photography is extremely over saturated. They can just go into their studio whenever they want and do what they want to do. Yet here we are busting our asses working 1 or 2 jobs to support this hobby/craft. Also we stress out a lot more.

[@davidsimerly3261]

Some of my favorite (and family, friends, etc) photos are the ones I've printed using Instax printers. I see them stuck on fridges, in car visors, pinned to cork boards, taped to mirrors and walls, etc. It makes my heart happy.

[@DeeRosa]

It makes my soul happy.

[@WhoIsSerafin]

I use the instax wide to create a diary of the year I glue in a book. Take it it to our family Christmas gathering and everyone just loves looking back the past year.

[@Flintlocke89]

Would you mind telling me how you compose the diary? Is it a one picture a day thing or how does it work? I'm looking for ideas as someone just getting into the hobby.

[@sneakingelephant]

It’s funny how photography is a medium that is so conducive to sharing with others but we primarily share photos through social media these days. As great as it is, it’s hard to appreciate photography on such a small screen. I recently started printing more of my photos this last fall and I’ve had so much fun seeing them in a new light. It’s also such a beautiful way to gift shared memories with others.

[@sneakingelephant]

Also this isn’t a dig at folks sharing on IG. That’s primarily how I share my stuff. I just recently fell in love with printing my own work

[@christopherrodriguez7223]

That Selphy printer is amazing, it’s been super helpful in sharing/giving photos to friends and family. Happy New Year Dee.

[@DeeRosa]

It’s 10/10

[@filterfreephotography]

I have a Fuji Instax EVO mini, which is the hybrid model camera/printer. I can send photos from my phone or tablet to the printer. I also have the Canon Selphy 1500. I totally agree with all your printing options. I looked into a dedicated 13x19 printer, but the cost of use versus the amount I print was not worth it. I love how real you are. Glad I found your channel. You stayed true to yourself since I first subscribed. No bullshit, just facts. Have a great New Years!!!

[@DeeRosa]

Thinking about grabbing one of those!

[@timchrisman]

This is a great video, ive been struggling with not feeling like my work is good enough but in going to try printing my stuff now!

[@Amal8752]

You’ve become one of my favorite channels pretty quickly, while most photographers on KZbin suffer from unoriginal repetitive content for the sake of views, i find your videos refreshing and informative. Also I need that printer asap

[@A1000Truths]

This video came right on time for me. After printing several film photos that motivated me to want to print my other digital work. There’s nothing like holding your own photo. Just ordered the Canon Selphy 1500 printer. As always, appreciate your videos and for always keeping it real.

[@method606]

Thanks for the nudge, man. Great povs and appreciate the level setting on photogs. Dap from Chicago 🤝

[@jllt6143]

Word. You're definitely one of my favorite photography YT channel, maybe i'd purchase an instax print too ;) , thank you and happy new year!

[@coryburns13]

I love your take on this. Cheers!

[@limestone_xyz]

I have got the selphy cp1500 and I really love it. Not sure if they changed something, but I can‘t vouch for the color accuracy. The prints come out around 0.5 - 1 stop darker and more saturated compared to a calibrated monitor. Just something to keep in mind.

[@mathieucithi]

Same here with cp1300 , not same exposure between smartphone print or pc print … but all in all, Great printer, incredible value !

[@Flburr99]

The selphy 1500 is one of favorite gifts to give. Prints do turn out a bit darker for sure. But the photo isn’t back lit like a phone or computer.

[@Democratiser]

Yes same here.

[@DeeRosa]

Man - I gotta say the only time I experience exposure difference is on images with lots of shadow as in nighttime photos. Other than that the exposure has been solid.

[@filterfreephotography]

I have not seen an issue with anything I have printed on my 1500. I love it!

[@synchrondipity]

I love my Liene Photo Printer. I wish that these dye sublimation printers were available in larger sizes. 8x10 would be awesome.

[@joshuachubbphotography]

Love my selphy and instax printers!!! I actually printed my own passport photo from the selphy printer!

[@DeeRosa]

Word?! How does that whole thing even work?

[@joshuachubbphotography]

@@DeeRosa there’s an option for ID photo, but I had to play with the sizes a couple times, I can’t remember exactly which one it was. But it prints out the like 3 or 4 photos and you just cut it out.

[@alejawndro]

lol nepo baby rant picked up steam there. Just moved to a new city and I think I’ll use this as a chance to connect with a local printer and get some stuff blown up. Thanks for sharing.

[@sketchysermons]

I love how you went off the rails ten minutes in 😂 great video!

[@DeeRosa]

I tried to hold it in 😂

[@huasohvac]

Something my therapist said to me the other day struck a chord and got me back into photography and the want to print my photos. It was that we used to have boxes and boxes of photos, good and bad. These days they are on everyones phones where few will look at them. Made sense to me anyway

[@MindYaBizz_Whiz]

This is one of those videos you see just at the right time. Was talking to my girl about things I want us to start doing in 2024, printing our photos is def something we need to do. Great video, man. Happy new year.

[@DeeRosa]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jmtphotographymedia]

That newspaper is fire! ❤

[@DeeRosa]

Appreciated!

[@ruffprophetproductions]

i started clapping my hands when you were going in about print being the way we should appreciate photos around 12:00... you were talking that real talk !! I'm going to teach an adult photography course in the coming weeks and if you don't mind I would love to show your video to encourage discussion in my class!!

[@DeeRosa]

Totally fine - hope it helps.

[@christophercaballero9473]

do they make the paper for the printer in a matte format? I searched online but can't really find much!

[@DeeRosa]

Not that I know of.

[@JayAYap]

Thank you so much for these ideas. It's funny because I just determined last week that I wanted to do a project zine that would highlight my local community. The newspaper club thing looks perfect for this. Happy New Year!

[@DeeRosa]

Hope the best for it!

[@Izzet99]

im printing photos using my canon selphy 1500, from my x-t5 with some film simulation recipes but the prints dont seem to be color accurate. the prints have a green tint to them. and they are mostly -1 Exposure darker so i lose some details. i dont know if the printer doesnt recognize the film simulations or im doing something wrong. if someone has the same problem or doesnt please let me know.

[@alexgoeke]

Honestly, so much valuable info. The realest cat on and off KZbin!

[@davep2945]

Yep, in the end there are good pictures and how they got that way or who took them doesn't matter one little bit. In all honesty, the more advanced cameras get the easier photography becomes. So someone with a high end camera should be able to take great photos from a technical point of view. Now, whether they use it to take interesting or meaningful pictures is another story. At the end of every trip or photography specific outing I print some of the pictures. I never print enough or consistently enough to make the investment in a printer worth it though so I don't have one.

[@agentlevanto2964]

Bought a Selphy 1300 a month ago to print out some images from a family trip and give my daughter a unique Christmas present - a photo album of the trip. For a millennial it was quite a new experience for her to see physical photos sequenced in an album….took me back too…Used to have these as a matter of course when you took your roll of film in to get developed…

[@DeeRosa]

I’ve been doing the same after trips. Honestly sending these to family has gotten amazing reactions.

[@Emma-en5nb]

I’ve loved shooting and printing with my Instax Evo, but it prints photos in worse quality that weren’t taken with its own camera, so I’ve stopped using it much to print my mirrorless shots. I will have to look into the Selphy.

[@craig_cunha]

Great video Dee. 100% agree on the value of print. I have an Instax Wide that I use to keep some photos around the house, some on the coffee table like you (guests love going through them). I’ve been looking for a box like the one you’ve shown - mind sharing where you got that from?

[@DeeRosa]

Yeah the coffee table setup is great.

[@nicedward7544]

I've been wanting a printer for 20 years but could never justify the hassle of cartridges and maintenance etc. I finally got one for myself for Christmas and I'm so glad I did. Something special about having a tangible piece of your work. I got an eco tank so no carts!

[@DeeRosa]

Glad you’re enjoying it!

[@lukasvanderlende]

I'm here for the printers (love the selphy printer) but I always stay for the rants. You're the man

[@myles4652]

I've always wanted to print my work, but I got hesitant and pushed it off. Your advice and recommendation for the Canon Selphy was just what I needed, I just bought it and can't wait to deepen my photography experience!

[@DeeRosa]

Great to hear!

[@marciano-jones]

I had a Selphy back in the days and it had dust issues. Is this still an issue these days? Love your confidence and enthusiasm. Keep up the great work!!

[@DeeRosa]

Man haven’t ran into it and hope I never do!

[@drbubble33]

I’ve had a Selphy 1200 sitting in the garage unused and only recently pulled it out to sell. It’s small but still large, so home use only. The instax printer is great for handing prints out while out and about. For my paid work, I have 2 DNP printers for onsite quick prints and 2 Prograph Pro-1000’s for framed and shipped wall art. Adding printers to my business increases my annual income 30%. More than covering the expense and hassle.

[@dotsara]

Please have all the gold stars for the pointer to Newspaper Club. I'm so stoked to make little season-in-review, year-in-review project zines for my high school athletes, nieces & nephews. Really appreciate this one from top to bottom. 👊🏽

[@DeeRosa]

That’s so dope!

[@dotsara]

@@DeeRosa Swinging back around to mention I finally picked up a Selphy printer and 2 photos in, I'm so excited to have this. Even though you mentioned the print quality, I'm still impressed at how good it is for such a tiny little thing. Anyhow, thank you again!

[@JackieDElia]

I bought a Canon PIXMA PRO-100 a long time ago and it works well. I don’t print much, but you’ve reminded me to print more. The printer is a boat anchor - so heavy. I got it at extraordinarily cheap price with a rebate years ago. I’ll keep it until it dies but I doubt I would replace it. I’d rather get something much smaller as you’ve mentioned and print larger ones elsewhere. Love your candor and agree with your thoughts on “photographers”.

[@DeeRosa]

Thank you Jackie - would love to see the work!

[@JackieDElia]

@@DeeRosa I started my KZbin channel in October and have been sharing bits on the channel.

[@leedeleon2745]

I’ve stopped hoarding film rolls and started to buy a couple of ink carts and paper for my Selphy every paycheck. Dee put me on this summer and it’s been such an addiction. 😭

[@DeeRosa]

Damn Lee that’s smart - I gotta stop shooting film man.

[@eavesphoto]

For the newspaper style printing, did you say seen? scene? Zine? Sorry there was no CC to get the spelling.

[@kingsamvisuals]

Zine as in magazine.

[@DeeRosa]

Zine 🫡

Had to come back and leave an updated comment. Just got my Selphy CP1500 and man o man! what an amazing quality in such a small package and setup. Super happy with how the photos are printing up. Thanks for sharing !!

[@samuelklusmeyer6]

I can't second the selphy enough. The prints are the perfect size to print personal pictures of my family, work, etc. or to bring to small events. I don't think I'll ever need another printer unless I want to actually start selling prints for real

[@TonyNomadic]

Literally been thinking about this for a while now, and you confirmed it.

[@DeeRosa]

Glad I helped! You’ll love it

[@LaurianeG.]

The answer to the title is simple. Cause I'm poor lol. And even budget options still feels like an excess expense especially since as you have to buy new sheets the cost adds up.

I messed around with an Instax all summer. I love giving prints to friends 😁

[@DeeRosa]
