4 Tips for Telling Stories with Your Camera feat. Daniel Milnor, Documentary Photographer

[@hutonthehill]

This is an absolute gem of an interview. Really sound and inspiring photographic advice. Best five minutes I have spent on KZbin. Thank you Marc and Dan.

[@marcsilber]

Dan has a fantastic way of explaining story telling as a photographer -including some painful decisions you might have to make. I'd love to hear if you use these tips and the stories you tell with your own photos.

[@abehjhakibuuka71]

Thanks to this video I learned something new and useful, "Foreground, midground and background."

[@marcsilber]

Yep gotta look at all 3 in each image

[@troyphillips1077]

This is what I got out of this and “follow a story theme” and put those three things into it .

[@phatcrayonz]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@sanwarzone]

Dan Milnor said so much in those few minutes and able to make it clear that slowing down and getting those three elements of a photo, the foreground, midground and background to build depth and all tied together with good lighting. Thanks for video!

[@marcsilber]

I know San, in under 5 mins! We love him!

[@ralphchristianson]

In just under 5 minutes a concise introduction to photo journalism..and making you personal images stronger.

[@photobech]

I agree with what he says that photography must tell us something, a story. Sometimes I see photographs that are dedicated to street photography that make sounds to cause reactions or only take faces of astonished people but the environment says nothing. If I am going to take pictures of a person I like to know what he is doing if he is a craftsman, delve deeper into it and so take the photos which will have a greater meaning. And patience is the mother of all virtues.

Loved the part where Brad Pitt was telling us about documentary photography.

[@marcsilber]

Yes great to have Brad on other side of a camera!

[@JaredMillsIA]

When editing this, I made the exact comment that he looked like Brad Pitt! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this!

[@MVKrajnak]

@@JaredMillsIA I thought Rob Lowe.

[@JaredMillsIA]

@@MVKrajnak I can definitely see that one too

[@FrankP83]

i tought the EXACT same thing!I don't know why he remember me Brad in Allied movie :D

[@DANIELMILNOR505]

Thanks Marc. Seems like ages since we did this. We have to remedy that! Appreciate you featuring this piece.

[@marcsilber]

You bet Dan, we'll make it happen soon! we love to hear your wisdom!

[@walkingmanvideo9455]

Dan is the Man. He really knows his work.

[@marcsilber]

[@Noealz]

[@mahidoes]

Wow.. just the essence. Good one! I watched the long episode of this more than 10min. This is the gist of that. I wish i haven't seen that video.

"In terms of telling stories, I think you have to make some decisions as a photographer. You have to make some rather painful realizations about telling stories with photographs." Dan Milnor

[@louisjensen689]

this is the best comment

[@sbhopper8511]

I really enjoy Milnor's thoughts on photography...and his thoughts in general. He has some great writing on his website. This was a really good video.

[@marcsilber]

🙏 we love having him on AYP.

[@cowboyyoga]

This guy is great... thank you for one finding him and the other sharing him. There is something to him that just re-supports who I am as a photographer. Great video! )))

[@marcsilber]

Thanks we love him too!

[@smalltalk.productions9977]

i have watched several of your dan milnor interviews. i really appreciate his insights. thank you both for the effort and the sharing. thumbs up.

[@marcsilber]

🙏we love bringing you our content

[@ropersix]

Great interview! Anyone have an idea what camera bag he's using in the footage of him in the field (like at 4:33 )? It looks like one that'd work great for me (always hard finding just the right one).

[@brycenew]

This was great despite having no intention of doing reportage; love that! Thank you :D

[@greenbrightly]

This is useful and inspiring, thanks. Think I’ll subscribe.

[@MarcoServentiphoto]

I didn’t know this channel so I didn’t expect this video to be THIS good when I clicked on it. Such a great concise interview with so much valuable information in just a few minutes. I’m inspired!

[@marcsilber]

Hey Marco! So great to hearing!

[@fishy1236547890]

I've had a Canon rebel t3i for years, and have just started using it to take engagement pictures and couples for my friends! But I'm hoping to get into film photography and focus more on capturing candid moments and stories. I love your work!

[@marcsilber]

Dan is a G!… I needed to hear this. Thanks a million :0)

[@KOLESNIKOV_D]

Thank you!

[@marcsilber]

🙏

[@NetvoTV]

Does a full auto P&S camera easier to take an image that tell story than a full manual like Leica M camera?

[@marcsilber]

It’s really your preference. Bob Holmes shoots on P for example. The main thing is knowing your camera so well that it doesn’t slow you down at that crucial moment! Or get in the way of your creativity💥

[@DiviPhotos]

Cool video nice

@3:27 loads film into his Leica. Nice

[@marcsilber]

👍

[@kevinarmstrong3415]

Excellent but, for me, much too short and it left many unanswered questions. Can you please interview him again? It's like only having one lick of an ice cream!

[@marcsilber]

Yes we will be. So leave your questions for him here

[@kevinarmstrong3415]

Some questions from this amateur photographer. 1. Do you still use film cameras and why? 2. Do you still use Leica rangefinders and why? 3.What sequence of shots do you plan to tell a story? 4. When do you press the shutter button? Thanks, Kevin

[@AdolfoUsierPhotographer]

💯

8 years old and republished. Yet interesting. Is he still not using digital photography?

[@Joe_VanCleave]

He shoots Fujifilm too. See his blog shifter.media

[@dariomendoza9136]

@@Joe_VanCleave Nice to find you in a comment Joe, your videos are awesome too.

[@sharonleibel]

Daniel in Color. Don't get used to it, Guys :)

[@marcsilber]

You want him in color?

[@sharonleibel]

@@marcsilber BW is nice, But sometimes it's too grungy and hard to swallow. The"why it works" video had this brightness in the background that it was hard to watch in BW contrast. And believe me, I know. I live in a country where the CA sun is our spring :-)

[@ohmwai]

I watch Daniel's videos just to see what eyewear he is rocking. Then for the advice

[@marcsilber]

😳

[@tedbrown7908]

Photographs are two dimensional not one dimensional.

[@Makta972]

@0:38mm I miss the time when photographer didn't give a fucck about noise. Now we have Tons of vids from clickbait artist like the northrups about how bad noise is etc..

[@JoeLopez]

Makta972 A.Men.

[@mariogpx2990]

Because Noise on digital looks bad! , on film looks beautiful and it’s a extra tool that you can use for your photography , some digital produce organic noise (grain) like the first Canon 5D.

[@jamesmorrison-knight3477]

Since when were photos one dimensional?

[@mirahgirl01]

God this dude reminds me of Rob Lowe

[@nickpaul2988]

That's Brad Pitt doing a behind the scenes between 7 years in Tibet and Spy Game

[@marcsilber]

Spot on!

[@dragangrasic1328]

If Brad Pitt only weren't always in such a hurry!

[@tedbrown7908]

Man, many of those photo's are really grainy which means he was using the wrong settings.

[@marcsilber]

Not necessarily. It all depends on film speed and developer being used.

[@scottbailey2610]

Part of the art. Focus, grain, light, color or lack there of are all part of style and personal signature. It’s up to you to create the right recipe that defines it as art!

[@GabrielGhiggeri]

"High speed" film

[@michaelnikonfuji3539]

Not at all He is pushing his film The grain is the beauty

[@DiviPhotos]

Cool video nice
