Studying films - cinematographers, directors, etc. is as good a source of photography inspiration for me as leafing through all my photo books!

[@seandalt]

100%! I should have mentioned this. Film is next level for inspiration, especially some of the old stuff when visual effects weren’t as much of a thing yet.

[@youngerbrotherpictures]

@@seandalt Agreed! And as trendy as it is to use Deakins as an example, I feel like every frame of his could be an award winning photo on its own! Anyways great video Sean, always love tuning in.

[@seandalt]

Appreciate the love man, thank you 🙏🏼

[@Super-photography]

Thank you so much for the great advice Mr. Sean Delton me too. I’m a beginner photographer. Sometimes I messed up my photos, but I’m still going to classes to be a better photographer in the pro but this video making me help of your channel just like you say I will never quit. I just keep going to take some pictures before I go at it and thank you for so much for the advice. Adios Mi amigo.😊😊

[@seandalt]

Keep on shooting my friend. 🙏🏼

Thank you.

Appreciate the comment, glad you enjoyed it!

The biggest revelation for me was that youre doing *well* if you're getting *one* "portfolio" shot for every 500-1,000 shots. The expectation that every tenth photo ought to be a "banger" is unhealthy and unrealistic.

[@seandalt]

This. I had something similar to this in my notes but completely forgot to say it in the video. Even the greatest photographers take thousands of shitty ones. Not every photo is going to be a banger

Great Advice, even in this AI world we are moving into there still isn't a replacement for boots on the ground with Patience like you mentioned.

[@seandalt]

100%. AI tech is pretty nuts but ultimately it can’t replace the human experience and all that goes into it. Patience opens the door to picking up on more subtle queues (both visual and symbolic) that you can incorporate into your work. AI just goes with what it thinks the right answer is. Appreciate the comment Nate!

That's a pretty neat gimbal. I'm not in the market for a smartphone gimbal right now, but if I were that would probably be the one I'd buy. Edit: Also, thank you for the great advice. Love the content, keep it up.

[@seandalt]

Didn’t think I’d use one til I actually tried it out tbh. Smartphones cameras are pretty nuts these days, I think it’s a great option for those who don’t want to drop thousands on a proper video setup but still want clean cinematic footage. Appreciate the comment!

[@raynjpg]

@@seandalt I ended up buying a fancy gimbal for my camera a couple years back. Haven't really gotten any use out of it yet, but I'm still kinda glad I have it so that I don't have to shell out the money for when I really need it.

[@seandalt]

It’s super nice to have, I’m sure there will come a time when you need it!

[@capturedbysadiq]

I learn so much from you man 🫡❤️

[@seandalt]

Thank you for watching brother!
