Learning Photography as a New Language (with Sissi Lu)

[@whoschrischu]

What does your photography say about your expression? Is it a focused personality? A scattered one? An echo of someone else? Let me know right here.

[@andreaxyz3959]

Scholarly speaking those are Modern concerns. Modernity ended, roughly in the 1950s, and a few argues that the curoisity behind your question was satisfied by the F64 group.

[@antnguyen]

One of those conversations that make you think about your own photography or why you even do it to begin with. Great talk. I've been seeing a lot of Sissi recently in the KZbin space and hope she gives us more videos of her work and perspective.

[@whoschrischu]

I think everyone needs to constantly think about why they do what they do. It’s truly the thought that counts :)

[@2DogAle]

Chris, I am drawn to your channel because you have created a connection with my sense of curiosity and creativity. You appear to just be yourself and nothing else when you appear here on camera. It’s refreshing for sure… Sissi Lu, wow, I have seen a couple of KZbin interviews now with her and I am absolutely enchanted by her personality and her work. Thank you for a great interview and conversation about how you and Sissi create your work and the meaning behind it.

[@whoschrischu]

thank you for the love. curiosity is what keeps me going!

[@PhreestyleNYC]

I really enjoyed this, just the talk about pure photography and learning things about your own work through conversation is too good. I’m fortunate to have these types of conversations with my girlfriend because when I first started I didn’t know how to describe my work but talking with her helped me understand what I was doing without intention however subconsciously doing it. 3 years in I still have these convos with her making it to the point that my work runs through subconsciousness yet my execution is through intention. Keep it up with these interviews! They’re too good

[@whoschrischu]

having a partner to talk with at that depth is such a gift. art at its very core is an extension of your thoughts & feelings, so having that constant "chipping" process through convos or introspection is what's going to make it better imo. cheers to you

[@PhreestyleNYC]

@@whoschrischu Hellyeah fam, couldn’t agree more 🥲

Glad you enjoy it! Still trying my best in driving convos

[@Theirrelephant]

@@whoschrischu You’re killing it, Dood!

[@NoahBility]

Really enjoying this series sitting down with photographers I've been following for some time now Hearing their ideologies and methodologies is refreshing. Thanks for doing this work, man

[@whoschrischu]

these are real convos I have with these people, so it’s cool to share it with all of you ❤

[@santuraki]

[@firemann247]

Im dyslexic and i read the thumbnail as "PHOTOGRAPHY AS A LASAGNA"

[@whoschrischu]

I think I like that one more

[@lenhister]

Love your work, just wondering what lut do you use for your videos? Thanks!

[@hansconley]

I love this discussion. How are the shots with the reddish cast created? I shoot this way sometimes, and I was wondering how someone else creates this way.

[@whoschrischu]

Kodak Aerochrome but my roll was kinda busted

[@hansconley]

@@whoschrischu I use a yellow filter on my Fujifilm X100f and Vivid setting.

[@BikeTaiwan-m1k]

So beautiful she used her mother tongue by saying “脑洞” greet video Chris and Sissi 加油

[@Heli0shots]

15:55 Would love to hear a Chris Chu playlist from some of these songs you're describing man!

[@achew317]

[@mirandaisergio]

[@whoschrischu]

[@drwatsonismine]

Where do you get Aerochrome? I can’t find it.

[@whoschrischu]

It was gifted to me. Very hard to get

[@drwatsonismine]

Thanks. I thought so.@@whoschrischu

[@nelmur]

This is a delightful interview. Bravo. And… apropos of nothing, thank you for using a lav mic properly, rather than holding it or clipping it to your shoes or something.

[@RussellAlboroto]

Let's be real. Chris moved to New York to shoot his shot with Sissi. Shoot your shot Chris!

[@spyratekodaks7494]

@eatenbyflowers is a very cool dude! He knows what photography is and he makes just that! He really doesn't care about gear! He knows how to create photos!

[@whoschrischu]

his work is so surreal sometimes. a real street photographer for sure

[@oluobasanu4299]

How does she make money out of it?

[@themistoclesmeneses6289]

Interesting conversation but I did not like that music behind.
