"Photography is just problem solving" | A Day with Joe Howard

[@tomgreiner88]

“Influence is good but too much influence restricts you… go and make work without thinking about where you’re putting it and what it’s being used for and who’s going to see it” … wow, this hit hard. Fantastic interview thanks for this guys!

[@MikeChudley]

I particularly liked that too, thanks for watching

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Loved this!!! ❤

[@MikeChudley]

Thanks Peter! Glad you liked it :)

[@martinschnurr7331]

Very cool hearing Joe’s perspective. “Go and make work without thinking about where you’re putting it, what it’s being used for and who’s going to see it”. Such an important quote.

[@alxbatista]

"If I didn't take photos I wouldn't be paying attention" love it.

[@ZagelMedia]

This video is a gold mine. I've been saying how people take photos like, "that picture would do well on Instagram!" and not, "I like this picture and here's the story behind it." I did that for a while, I found that I was getting too focused on the numbers going up and being super self-critical over my work so I just never posted anything, now I take photos that I like and I can post whatever I want, however much I want, there's so much freedom in being yourself. Thanks for making this video!

[@MikeChudley]

Thanks for watching! Glad you could resonate with Joe and enjoyed the video ✌️

[@RolandKaufmann]

That intro goes hard! That cut on “wouldn’t be paying attention”, was powerful. Love this video, Mike.

[@MikeChudley]

Yeaaaah thanks man. Loved editing this.

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Kudos to both of you - this was great! Love Joe's pics :)

[@MikeChudley]

Thanks James! Appreciate that 👌

[@jonathanptaylor]

He's a fellow "Outside Photographer" James. When he was struggling with "I don't really fit into a category. I don't know what kind of photographer I am". I thought "Popsys has the answer!"

[@freeseguitar-np4mh]

Followed Joe on Instagram for years, he’s been my favourite photographer for a long time, so it was fantastic to hear an insight in to his approach

[@snapsbyfox]

Very very well done. a proper doc this is

[@MikeChudley]

Thanks Roman! Appreciate that 👊

[@lindabarr7246]

The bedroom photo with the combination of warm and cool colors! 🔥 Great video in terms of production and content!

[@j_ellis]

Love these picture profile series - great to learn about new photographers and their work. Thanks for making this.

[@MikeChudley]

Love to hear it - thank you!

[@bnwaneampeh]

This series is absolutely brilliant

[@MikeChudley]

Thank you!!

[@denistunguz]

Such a great video with lots of wise words. Really inspiring! And I love Joe's work obviously, fantastic photographer!

[@rodgersmith7784]

Great profile video. Joe comes across as such an amiable and likeable guy. Love the use of the 4x3 aspect. Pity my xt20 doesn’t shoot in 4x3.

[@IainMercer]

Loved the soundtrack to this. Great choices that really added to a very interesting, well edited documentary.

[@neglectedloves]

Another brilliant episode of Picture Profile and this series is exactly the reason why I love photography! Well done Mike and of course Joe Howard who's very entertaining 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@FedThePoopy]

I resonate with 95% of what he said (with the exception of his tepidness towards taking a bad photo, I fire away xD). It was really nice to see somebody so talented reaffirm a lot of the things I think about photography and reject so many of the negative moods and biases in the photography community. Really loved this little documentary Mike, nice job once again!

[@JamesParsons1]

Loved Joes' attitude. Another great Picture Profile

[@MikeChudley]

Cheers man! 👊

[@ronnymfd]

How am I just finding this guy! What a breath of fresh air listening to him describe his simple approach to photography.

[@josephschimmer302]

What a powerful portrait! Very inspiring; BTW I‘ve got tinted glasses too. I know exactly what he is talking about.

[@patrickoshea72]

Great video Mike. Love how this one is all about the photographer. I respect that.

[@MikeChudley]

Thanks dude! Glad you liked this

[@simonbnyc]

Of all the photographers meditations on the subject Iv seeked out this was up there with the best. Really enjoyable.

[@davide.sva88]

The best episode ever. Thanks Mike, really appreciate!

[@photoautomax]

Best one yet! Well done to you both!

[@MikeChudley]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Jparkss]

Such an amazing video with a photographer who truly loves his craft. You’re videos of yourself and the videos you make when interviewing someone are mint.

[@MikeChudley]

Really appreciate that

[@Jparkss]

[@MikeChudley]

Glad you liked it!

[@ianbutler5262]

Wow! Absolute great film, and a top bloke the photos were a bloomin a joy to look at. Such refreshing thoughts going into the weekend, I can seriously say best photography film on KZbin this year ❤

[@jonathanptaylor]

I really enjoy this mini series of yours Mike. I'm sure you would prefer to be shooting and editing video about your own work, but all of the videos that you have produced in this series so far have been very special and very inspiring pieces of work.

[@Verdant02]

This video is really well put together

[@MikeChudley]

[@GeorgeHolden]

This episode is a viiiiiibe, love Joe's work.

[@davidskinner274]

A touch of James Popsys here. Nice, Joe

[@HadleyHope]

Great video, lovely guy, and wise words. What on earth is that film camera, more information please!

[@yulbdv]

i think you need to have a special eye to do such interviews and I guess Mike has it👏great work!

[@bykennyk]

Another great one Mike! But more importantly, I'm wondering where Joe got that chair he's sitting in. looks sooo comfy 😂

[@nerucheung]

Thumbnail got me thinking that it was Joe Greer for a second, they even have the same name 🙃 Beautifully made video! Thank you for sharing his work ♥

[@JonathanCulpin]

Really interesting and inspiring

[@MikeChudley]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@christoffersen]

Super good video!

[@gbl4261]

Enjoy this beautiful video ❤

[@MarcS4R]

lovely video !

[@_ped_]

i loved this

[@elliottgunn_]

Great Video!!

[@sebastianop.3052]

I like him and I see me in the same approach of photography.

[@BigRockNor]

Excellent! 🇳🇴

[@neklamp2431]

Very nice!!!

[@cougmantx]

What's the filter you are using on the front?

[@domi.piskorz]

An unpopular (it seems) opinion, but I found this episode a bit challenging to watch. While I admire Joe's passion for photography and his technical expertise, his presentation style came across as quite self-assured. I personally prefer a more humble approach, as it can make the learning experience more enjoyable and relatable. Chris and Paul (I didn't see the episode with Dan just yet), in contrast, demonstrated a remarkable balance of skill and humility. Their work is truly inspiring, and their willingness to share their knowledge and experiences in a down-to-earth manner is amazing.

[@hendrikhross5371]

What is that Filter? Which Brand is that? Does anyone know?

[@Jwhowardphoto]

The filter is made by Mamiya specifically for the Mamiya 7&6 👍🏼

[@marcelocampbell1679]

Anyone know what camera the big one is?

[@AlexIvory]

lovely photographer this guy

[@carlosandiaz1]

Could someone please tell me which filter he uses for his Mamiya 7? :)

[@Jwhowardphoto]

It’s called ZE702 👌🏼. Super catchy. 😂

[@carlosandiaz1]

Thank you!@@Jwhowardphoto 🫶

[@ChuckKolyvas]

I’m not familiar with Joe. I honestly thought this was a parody 😂. Very good regardless.

[@burneshollyman2621]

Photo beanie!

[@taterandy3958]

Upgrade is minimal but the V is the better camera in my opinion 😅

[@untouchable360x]

[@alexdavismittp]

The beanie hhahahahahaahahahha

[@marcisroaming]

Please explain the uniform. I mean hat.

[@Caballeroshot]

8:29 Indeed....that'll be $4000! 🤣

[@jan-martinulvag1962]

having a girlfriend is just problem solving

[@qcumberpatch]

I sold my Mamiya 7 20 years ago and am now regretting it!!

[@markl2815]

For most … Or just take photos of what you see as you say, never log into instagram and create without it taking concepts not photos from those who went before Great summery though and I know I’m being uncommercial here .. but then I’m old, I don’t give a % about instagram, I am not and am unlikely to ever be pro, with these factors comes some of the freedom’s you espouse

[@jarleearllv-kjeldas9953]

Joe is Paul McCartney 2.0

[@danielboulton922]

Joe’s Mamiya sounds a bit squeaky

[@Jwhowardphoto]

Plastic cameras 🙄

[@theStevenPowell]

is this satire or real?

[@Jonbombs]

4:00 pretty bold to compare yourself to Saul Leiter...

[@Jwhowardphoto]

Not sure you were paying attention 🧐. I didn’t compare myself to anyone, I was discussing the difference between seeing something and then taking a photo. 😉

[@Jonbombs]

I mean... you literally say you see things that others don't the way Saul Leiter did. That is a comparison

[@Jwhowardphoto]

Again, think you’re taking this conversation out of context. Which is cool, I shall explain for your piece of mind. I’m not comparing myself to anyone. We’re talking about how different people can see the same scene differently. There is no comparison, or better or worse. Some people really don’t like abstract photography like that and some people love it. We’re not discussing quality of work, we’re discussing how people see the world. And we all see it differently, that’s what makes it interesting. If I say Saul Leiter uses his eyes and I do also, then yes I’m comparing myself to him, and every photographer ever. Hope you can sleep well now, knowing I wouldn’t do such a thing. 😂

[@zKMotion]

Sony cameras are better tho, autofocus is the new tech
