What Sean is doing for the photography community will be remembered. He's the living example that you can have a profitable business while creating quality free content for people that want to learn. No bs, no clickbait, no gear wars, just art and knowledge. Thank you Samuel for uploading this.

[@maxbashyrov5785]

that guy doesn't even know what exposure is. "knowledge", right.

[@AlejandroRamos-im4to]

@@maxbashyrov5785 Just take a look at his work and you'll see if he knows what exposure is. I'd like to see some of your shots: it seems to me that the one not knowing what he is talking about is you.

[@maxbashyrov5785]

@@AlejandroRamos-im4to the guy is lecturing without even knowing theory, it's a fact, whether you feel offended or not. Another fact is that nowadays KZbin is a source of knowledge for untrained people with short attention span.

[@AlejandroRamos-im4to]

@@maxbashyrov5785 Since when "knowing theory" is important for a form of art? It is not about me "feeling offended or not": it's about you showing a lot of ignorance about art, about art history, THAT IS A FACT. Do some research about the great masters of photography, or painting. A work of art speaks openly, obviously, directly, to your heart and mind based or not on "theory". How much did Van Gogh know about "theory", how many university courses did he attend in order to learn painting "theory"?.. THAT'S A FACT. Do you have some idea how many paintings did he sell while still being alive? THAT'S ANOTHER FACT. Again, please tell us where we can see your photographic work so we all "can finally understand the importance of theory in photography", so we can finally see how all of your "FACTS" are based on the reality of the quality of your work as a photographer... and that is the final "FACT".

[@maxbashyrov5785]

@@AlejandroRamos-im4to Ehm. Knowing theory is important in any form of art, I'm not even sure who would question that. It is also important, when you're lecturing a big audience (this is the case I pointed out here). Thinking of a theory as an obstacle of some sort on the way to Creativity is pretty common, unfortunately, not only in photography. But you can still have a piece of work that is enjoyable without having a knowledge and/or laboring under delusions. BTW, don't bother using those cheap polemical tricks with me (speaking on behalf of others, getting personal, introducing some irrelevant comparisons etc.), it won't work.

[@philiphyndman3583]

20:05 Sean Tucker delivering knowledge like a paperboy delivering newspapers.

[@desotaku5202]

He gets it. although he isnt a street photographer for a long time, i think a lot of people can learn from him. Always annoyed me, when i saw youtubers who recommend full frame sensors for the "cinematic" look. Most movies were shot on super35 which is closer to a canon rebel than a 1dx.

[@Rico-tt3jk]

he's great.

[@irials]

His explanation of the use of light in cinema was on fire.

[@AdiMscribbler]

Title should be "24 hours with Sean tucker" Great to see Sean break out of his character, cracking jokes and having fun. Quality video

[@Larpy1933]

Samuel, Sean seemed to really open up to you. Your questions and your sincere interest in his work and his thoughts brought this interview-day to life. The long close-ups of his face while he was answering you worked really well for me. I cannot imagine the amount of work you put into making this whole interview flow so well on screen. Thank-you -- I learned a lot. The time passed so quickly!

[@clintwoosley9512]

This is a Masterclass. Thanks so much for doing this project. Sean is so consistent in his message. Inspiring but I felt out of breath just watching how fast he walks.

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Hehe, yeah he walks fast :)

[@therarelement]

So im not the only one who listens to soundtracks when shooting? Thats Another reason for me to admire Sean.

Why is it that I could listen to Sean Tucker all day? His knowledge and ability to talk straight is unparalleled. Great documentary style Samuel. Thanks for sharing.

Every time I hear Sean speak I learn something new.

[@tomcruz3774]

It's so nice to see Sean smile, dunno why

[@paulf1767]

What I wouldn’t give to spend 45mins photographing with Mr Tucker. He makes it look so easy with fantastic images

[@johnpeterchua6148]

Love Sean Tucker's generosity--sharing his process and his visual notes with Samuel and us the audience

[@pierrepauwels8966]

21:20 Man I got tears in my eyes from the passionate emotion that comes from his eyes somehow. I'm a cinema lover and it's definitly movies that bring me to photography. This man is amazing. I love your job Samuel, you're such a nice fellow and I'm glad i've discoverd you ! Take care mate ! And thank you !

[@PawFromTheBroons]

Sean Tucker, OMG yes !

[@benjaminzeng]

Watch from begining to the end, Sean Tucker is so generous and sincere to share his presious technique and insight of photography,and show his other side of personality as well, good work,Samuel.

[@delukxy]

Why is that when you watch a video like this you keep seeing all of the keeper shots and angles but when you are out yourself you don't? Thanks to both of you, that was a GReat watch

[@georgekamenov_]

Because in most cases I find people's taste of photography is much better than their skill level at the time. I personally think it's natural to be able to appreciate a great scene once it's already been captured but having to be the one that brings out what makes it special on your own is a completely different beast. Thing is, the more you do it and the more you start getting "keeper shots" of your own it makes it that much more satisfying, that's the case for me at least :D

[@delukxy]

@@georgekamenov_ Basically true of course but I wasn't really talking about the stills taken and adjusted with a bit of editing magic. It was during the video walk around when you said to yourself "that would have made a nice shot" or "you missed an opportunity there". The skill is seeing the shot and knowing how to capture it. Not many of us are as analytical as Sean about knowing what those special factors are that make his and other photographers just that bit special. I include you too Samuel but I think you made it obvious that you too were learning alongside us throughout the video. I'm hardly out of pre school!

[@thecrowfliescrooked]

Most likely it's because they're involved in the interview and not the photography. It's quite an obvious answer.

[@neneodonkor]

@@delukxy it comes with experience to be able to quickly identify a scene. When you shoot a lot with purpose, your senses heighten, and you easily identify scenes that you would have passed by. That's why when you watch videos like this don't worry about not getting the scenes. Focus more on understanding the principles. For example, Sean said when he is shooting in the streets he focused on lights and shadows and not people. After he did it a while he realized that he could transfer what learned from the streets into his portrait shoots. Don't worry now. You will get it eventually. I don't own a camera yet but watching these stuff make me see the world differently. Try to see the world in your eyes. Yes learn from the pros but always ask how can I use the knowledge the have to tell my own story. That's why I like it when Sean always say do what you want to do not because some one says so.

[@mar1446]

it's because you are watching the video attentively and are relaxed. when you're in the street your focus is much more occupied by the environment and your mind, and you aren't as relaxed. These are things that you learn with experience and being in the moment when you're shooting street takes time.

[@ijustwannabee]

I constantly go back to this one to inspire me to go back out and shoot! Thank you and Sean for making this video.

[@bri3fcas3]

I love how Sean explains the light, location, time and composition of his vision. He knows his city very well and it seems he has been to the same location multiple times. I wish I know my city that well and take beautiful shots.

[@TomKaszuba]

Sean Tucker is the best thing to happen to photography in a looooooong time.

[@mariathithuthaonguyen9667]

Two of my favorite people on KZbin. Inspiration overload. 👍

Sean Tucker Rocks

[@tolgaturgut6530]

it's a very good documentary. it must be a great chance to talk to Sean Tucker. I've been watching this video over and over with out getting bored.

[@johncox5939]

Don’t know why I have only just got around to seeing this but have to say I enjoyed it immensely.

[@Riccardo_Mori]

At about 38 minutes, when Sean remarks that his Ricoh "just becomes a scrapbooking tool", that "not every shot has to be a keeper, or a print, or go in a book... it's just shoot stuff you find interesting even if you don't know why, and then look at it later and think about it, and then maybe you learnt something"... That resonates a lot with me and how I approach photography when I'm out and about (and people wonder why I carry one or two pocketable cameras with me, heh heh). Fantastic video. Cheers!

[@scallywhiskey]

When Sean was talking cinematography and using the light to highlight your subject or anytime he’s dropping some philosophy on photography, it’s inspiring! Dude makes me want to go shoot immediately!!

[@justwhenithought]

From this video, I find Sean Tucker very articulate and eloquent in expressing his thoughts, direction, and photographic philosophy. This is much much more important to me than his superb photographs. Many thanks to Samuel for creating this wonderful project I just stumbled onto.

[@dislikebutton1718]

I've watched this 3 times already. Sean Tucker is super smart, lots of knowledge and great at explaining his process.

By far the best 46 minutes I spent on KZbin. What a great episode. That man is a genius. Went straight to his website and bought one of his books (the only one who wasn't sold out!!!!)

The amount of reflections, wall art and etc appear to be unlimited. Samuel, keep it up.... You are becoming more and more proficient at these.

[@manishmishra6945]

Sean is so addictive...

[@itsjorgieeSF]

Facts shooting in manual will allow you to get the shots exactly what you visualize. If you typically allow it on auto or aperture control your iso will auto control and it will blow out your highlights or I wasn’t satisfied with the pictures because it wasn’t creating the shadows. Sean is the real deal I learned a lot from him.

[@briangrogan1622]

Outstanding!!!! Thank you for this!!!!

[@junelopez9520]

Sean is the man...

[@MN-bq1hu]

What a great interview of a fantastic photographer.

[@john_in_Berlin]

A lot of similarities here to how I like to engage my environment. Visual notes for later. Not wanting to wait too long. Not wanting to "shoot people" up too close (but also not be sneaky). Wanting to get the "full stride" with burst mode! :-) And having the one methodology (street) influence the other (studio). Great stuff here, Samuel. And now I'm thinking about the GRIII again instead of the X100V, because I'm also one who loves to move fast and not carry anything resembling "gear". Thanks for holding on that scene where he's "dialing down" to create that half-moon highlight. This is exactly what I do while out and about here in Berlin - and it was helpful seeing how to "work" the features of the GRIII. Really like this guy. Now I understand the hype: he's an articulate, thoughtful human being creating beautiful images. Thanks!

[@ivarssonjorgen]

Thanks for a wonderful video! Your conversation and how you got Sean to show us how he thinks and the techniques he uses when he shoots. A revelation!

[@NegativeCompensation]

You guys rule and put together the best urban photography videos on the Internet. The GRIII always goes out with me anywhere I go too.

[@claudiomachiavelli3310]

Talked about Fan ho, locations, light and shadows, the thing about having people in street photography or not, balancing youtubering and personal photographic journey and many many more... this is one of the ultimate video for street photographers. Absolute banger, guys.

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Thank you Claudio! It was hard to keep this under 1 hour... We had so many good conversations :)

[@mattmcmaniac]

This was a great collab. I watch a lot of Sean's videos and it's cool to seem him relaxed and unrehearsed, but still offer up the same thoughtfulness and inspiration.

[@KK-yw1fj]

Your videos really bring out how passionate your interviewees are about what they do and how much effort and concentration is condensed in those images. That's super helpful for everybody who devotes time to photography and aspires to come up with something of lasting value. Love your channel!

I truly enjoyed the opportunity to listen to this in depth interview/photowalk with you and Sean Tucker. I learned a little of his thought process when he takes his photos. I also learned a little about how a street photographer must think about his shots when he/she takes during a walk around session. The presentation was both fun and informative for me. I cannot wait to see your next video in this series.

[@dan-le-brun]

Thanks Samuel, another great episode. With Sean, as much as I enjoy the aesthetic of his photographs, it’s also a great excuse to listen to him talk about the philosophy and psychology within photography. Two thumbs up and looking forward to the next.

That's one of the most inspiring videos I've seen in a long time. Wish I had found it earlier, but I'm really happy I eventually did. Sean seems to be a really good guy. I've seen many of his videos, but never him being interviewed. It feels a bit like looking behind the scenes and I enjoyed watching it. Thank you!
