Pro Photographer, Cheap Camera Challenge - Sean Tucker

[@twonty4]

the results freaked me out, true master at work

[@jjccllgg]

@SUPERΔRTIFICIΔLRespectfully, I would like to know what makes you think that way.

[@MyKonaRC]

yes but I wonder how many were shit. Id say for every good one he has he took 50 - 100 shots.

[@jozosaravanja1626]

@@MyKonaRC they said he goes and takes 150-200 for few good ones. just like most photographers who are critical of their work. can't blast around and have every photo as a banger

[@oneeyedphotographer]

@@MyKonaRC When you learn to discard your rubbish, to choose the one best of a set, you are immediately a much better photographer.

[@NGameReviews]

@THΞ ΛΧΥΞΗΗΘ I think you're rubbish yourself, that's why you cast stones over to people who are successful because you can't handle the fact that someone is better than you and that makes you upset and frustrated.

[@geoffrygerrie5088]

We seen another side of Sean in here that probably make me admire him even more. Humble, soft spoken, wise & definitely an amazing photographer 👍🏻

[@MunirRahool]

100% agreed and said the same.

[@hagarthehorrible1391]

This presenter makes me want to watch DigitalRev again. Top gear failed with its new hosts but DigitalRev can survive and actually do well with this guy.

[@arnieunterwegs4801]

i think the same way but i think they need to be more consistent with the uploads...

[@tomkenning5482]

I reckon the newest 3 are good, they have the chemistry

I want to give a big kudos to digital rev on this one for blending in Sean's calm video style into this episode. It gives it a special vibe and pays quite some respect to his work. Thank you digital rev!

[@miikarautiainen]

From the beginning, I felt at home. It had a lot of Sean's style in it.

[@a.m.3683]

Thank you for having me on the show guys! Absolute pleasure to meet and work with you all! It was great fun and I learnt a great deal. Thanks for the headshots Sean!

[@PaulHofreiter]

Whoa, at first I didn’t even realize those were the cheap camera images. It wasn’t until the one with the strong arched light that I recognized it - wow.

[@IreneRudnyk]

Yes!!!! Sean Tucker is such an amazing choice for these series! True artist

[@zebunker]

Nah, just outgoing and good at KZbin marketing.

[@nicocastillo2099]

Back in 2017 when I left my corporate job and settled down in a small surf town in my country, Sean's philosophical views on photography saved my passion. He kept me going. I would love to thank him personally if I had the chance. Such an amazing person and artist.

[@Zlin0035]

my street photography is heavily inspired by Sean . probably one of my favourite photographers out there!

[@feeltoofree]

I was honestly impressed. This particular photographer gave me a new and different perspective on photography I never thought about. Very interesting.

[@vijendraparashar]

On photography and life

[@nostaljeck]

So glad you invited Sean, been following him for quite some time now. His philosophy in photography and in his art is just refreshing.

[@burhanaltncan4527]

It feels like photos are taken with pro camera and I am watching the video at 144p.

[@firstnamelastname061]

lol this is the most accurate description of the results.

[@eddmaster9]

Nailed that Peter McKinnon impersonation at 18:56 🤣 Great video. Never knew that Sean started so late as a photographer. Way to go.

[@legoEndeavourStudios]

I was looking for this comment! Hahahaha 😂

[@MsPerthgirl1]

One of my favourite photographers - such a humble, inspiring gentleman. So good to see Sean ‘bts’ and unscripted - don’t get to see his lovely sense of humour in his own vids very often

[@MunirRahool]

Yes, he needs someone, anyone I am assuming, to get into that humoring zone of him.

[@echindaplatypus]

Wow, I never thought I would re-sub to DigitalRev after Kai left, but this is fantastic content.

[@Mamado88]

Did he flat out leave KZbin?

[@mimoreque1805]

I loved seeing Sean "out of character".

[@airdailyx]

Mimo Reque yep noticed that too!!

[@mimoreque1805]

@@airdailyx lol!!! Not in a bad way, but really enjoyed watching Sean much more relaxed. One of my favorite photographers/youtuber. Regards!!!

[@MunirRahool]

Same here.

[@karansalhotra87]

It took me three years of a mid range dslr ownership to learn how metering actually work. Three years worth of underexposed and blown out images. And when i finally got it, it was like a heavenly rain after a drought. Great video, very inspiring.

[@yatoproductions163]

Im getting into photography and have started a month ago. I am learning all these things so I can use them from the get go. I spend more time researching camera settings than shooting, but when I do shoot I make sure to use what I learn. It is probably speeding up my photography skills fast.

[@tHaH4x0r]

As much as I liked the Kai version of protog cheap cam, the current versions are much better. I do also like the deep conversations into someones own personal philosophy to photography and how they got where they are. Absolutely fascinating. I do like his photography as well, both portraits as well as street, they remind me a lot of late Fan Ho. His resulting pics are very inspiring, maybe even so much that they are intimidating.

[@ruff1draft]

Very true. I am a fan of both Sean Tucker and Fan Ho

[@dingbat19]

This was a really well made episode - Sean Tucker comes across as a really good guy and is obviously very talented. The presenter is a million miles away from Kai's cocky, innuendo laden style, but I like it - the pro photog is the star and that's how it should be - 10/10 for this one

[@yonghomoon8813]

The host made a video more enjoyable to watch even its length. Well done & keep them coming.

[@explorer.dream.discover]

You would never be able to tell that was a cheap camera! Sean shows it's the eye and the practice that really makes the change.

[@homoconspectum]

Impressive! This clearly shows, what's really important in Photography. The only things the toy-camera couldn't deliver was freezing moments, resolution, sharp and clean pictures. But with the right light, the pictures are astonishing! Motiv, scene, light, composition, mood... all that weighs in more than resolution, sharpness or speed. Proven by Sean Tucker, one of the most interesting people in the scene. Brilliant!

[@William1942-t2w]

Thank you for exposing more of Sean Tucker. I think he is an exceptional person whose life teaches lessons of value to us all.

[@zackbulatao]

Sean smiling and laughing is such a pleasant thing to watch... :)

[@kenzito101]

This challenge makes pros appreciate their craft more, probably makes them even better. I hope this series never ends.

[@UNSCPILOT]

Even us newbies can try stuff like this out, limited equipment can be much more creatively demanding and help us learn quite a bit

[@aneogi]

Sean Tucker, the Yoda of photographers!! Such an inspiration! May the force always flow through you Sean!

[@ottersphotography304]

I just re-subscribed to Digitalrev after quite some absence. Sean Tucker as the guest was what prompted me to watch this video, I was so pleasantly surprised at the excellent, thoughtful interview/dialogue that ensued. Digitalrev seems to have found its balance finally.

[@lukmanambaryanto7979]

This is by far the best "Pro Photographer Cheap Camera" episode! The results are AMAZING!

[@bagamingshow]

"I hope it's Manual" Really got me.

[@bc9942]

I love how they mock Sean’s video style by just quoting nonsense from him XD

[@MiccoliOfficial]

Beautiful shots! Thank you for sharing. Have a nice day!

[@IAmSaKo]

I miss this series

[@iang265]

Nice. I've always got time for more Sean Tucker in my life.

[@danielgebert4556]

Honestly, I stopped watching digital rev way back when Kai and loc left. And it’s been a while since I’ve watched a video. But this, although it’s a different kind of feel, is honestly a really really good format. I look forward to more videos like this.

[@nigelwest3430]

I follow several photographers on youtube but I always look forward to Sean posting a new video the most

[@steven320]

Having known Sean when he lived in South Africa, I can say he is such a humble and great guy. A good friend and so talented at so many things. Loved this video. Sean you legend!

[@RasheedKhan-he6xx]

Wonderful. I was not expecting this to be actually such an engaging documentary portrait about Sean. Excellent presenter too, one to watch.

[@Monica-du6ot]

Talking about introverts ♥

[@bassnelson]

Although an outstanding photographer, Sean is a master in so many subjects that photography is just the tip of the iceberg. Big fan here, glad to see him here.

[@ryantothmisc]

Hahah love the subtle Peter McKinnon dig in the church 😂

[@pedrofelix5854]

This guy is pure inspiration, I've watching his videos since last year and they are pure knowledge. Please keep bringing great photographers, this kind of video is 10/10

[@richardmarks6455]

I just kind of stumbled upon this video, and can't express how much I enjoyed it. I would watch an entire series of you two walking around and talking photography.

[@jamiej.tilleyphotographyar5177]

This is my absolute favorite episode of the cheap camera challenge. So much more heart and soul. Thanks for this!

[@JennyDarukat]

This turned out to be just way better of a video than I'd expected - I really appreciate that you give people the space to express themselves and their philosophy, as opposed to rushing it or making a hyper condensed episode out of it. I first saw Sean's videos at a really difficult time in my life just under 2 years ago and I've honestly never found a stranger's words and thought process so relatable and interesting. His shooting style also just seems absolutely perfect for this sort of exercise, so I'm really glad you (presumably) shared that thought and had him on here - it's such an unlikely pairing tonally from the outside, but I really appreciate seeing another side to DRTV. I often found most of the Pro Photog, Cheap (Toy) Camera Challenge videos out there to be just really gimmicky and not very insightful beyond the obvious "your gear isn't everything", but this one really brought it home. I'll definitely be recommending this one to friends who worry too much about the gear, or that they're not getting too much in the face of a subject. It's the kind of photography that doesn't quite get as much spotlight as portraits, subject oriented street shots, travel or landscape and I would wager that many don't even know it really exists as a style/genre. This all is to say, I really appreciate it, really enjoyed the episode. Great work.

[@mmarsbarr]

The most interesting thing I took away from this video is learning the Sean Tucker actually has a personality, which is great.

[@majorcrng]

please, revive this channel, this is the quality content I wanna see on KZbin

[@unox234]

After a few years (since Kai started his own channel), I finally decided to subscribe to DigitalRev TV again. The last video's were amazing, keep up the good work!

[@sc0ttmagoon]

This was really fun. I will never stop being inspired by Sean Tucker. It’s great to see him in situations that are inherently uncomfortable for an introvert and see what a humble, genuine person he is.

[@selj8287]

Digital Rev has finally evolved!!

[@taifromyea]

Really love the way this brought Sean’s sense of humour to the fore. Very fun video, but still with lots of food for thought.

[@dozerjohn]

Ok one more comment - holy fuck, I'v just realized that this is THE DigitalRev that became super mediocre years back. This is some really good shit right there, am I supposed to resubscribe after all those years? Interesting, I need to investigate further.

[@lowrez2703]

Absolutely love sean tucker, he is a true philosopher of art.

[@glennc.ganley1685]

I have no second thoughts stating that the church Sean worked at was a business and not a church at all. That place sounds so far from scripture it's offensive that people still call it a church. A church is the people, not the building, and if it's people aren't following scripture, then it's not a church. On a lighter note, I've come across Sean's channel before and it's definately worth checking out. This video proves he's a legend too, good on ya mate! In my view God provided that bus to the 'church' (that business you worked at) so that you could save those people.

[@DrFruitbag]

Yesssss its been awhile but worth it👍🏼

[@Jbzy3000]

Those headshots are better than a lot of LinkedIn accounts.

[@andrewbaxter9395]

Those images are stunning. Here I am worrying about lenses, sensor sizes and megapixels and Sean nails it with a toy. Brilliant inspiration!

[@kaywayneflor89]

Same here, I was contemplating a camera upgrade. Now my goal is a simple 24mm pancake and more time going out to shoot.

[@michivanhalen7086]

The results is Just Total blow my mind.. Been following him on his blogs for several year from canon, fuji to sony.. It really is the man behind it Not the Camera

[@khuongnguyen4375]

A good camera can make his picture become masterpiece, but his mind is actually better than his camera ! He make me think about what I can do to improve my picture, which is captured by a BlackBerry Bold 9790 and BlackBerry Q10, instead of thinking about any camera can shoot a "detailer" picture,at least at the moment. Thank you, Sean !

[@lucascjardim]

I love Kai, but I wish all Cheap Camera Challenges were remade on this format

[@hijodelsoldeoriente]

Same thoughts.

[@Wyfiman]

This video concept/series was so ahead of it's time. It would absolutely pop off if you brought it back.

[@ronwhite8503]

"it's all about interesting light".....amen to that. As another photographer said, it's all about interesting "pockets of light", to me anyway.

[@yasser1993319]

[@CraigPringle]

I could listen to Sean talk for hours. So glad I stumbled upon this video today! Thx.

[@EvilPreach]

Me at the beginning: ahh shut up, of course you need a freakish good Camera! Me at the end: Well, fuck my life. seems like I have no idea how to take a picture

[@Tanguero]

Such a pleasure to see Sean out of his element a bit. I really enjoy his serious, intellectual side. But it's good to know he can also be fun and funny. Thanks for this. I'm more of a Sean Tucker fan now than I was before. . . and that's saying a lot.

[@MunirRahool]

The name was enough to get me here but glad I did and I am so glad you did this, got Sean in with you. We got to see his story and what an amazing side it was. Got to know more of what's going on in his mind when he is taking pictures. I have seen the excited kid in him in another collaboration/challenge video but you too got that part out with tiny camera. Loved the video, loved the conversation and thank you to arrange this all. P.s. you NAILED the starting of the video. I had to double check if I am on Sean's channel.

[@nzdweller6946]

Great video. I followed Sean’s channel for the last few months and DRTV for ever. Love to see life back in such a great channel!!

[@PeacePham1991]

I was impatient so I went to the end of the video to see the photos and shocked to see the result. I thought they were the photos he took before with his professional equipment :O

[@sbhopper8511]

Excellent. This video was a breath of fresh air. YT is a useful resource and often entertaining, but I can't bear too watch any more hyper frenetic videos. This had a great, engaging pace, and always nice to hear Sean's thoughts on photography. Curious to see where Sean goes should he leave London.

[@grahamdixon5225]

Glad that Sean moved on from shooting sofas. Good to step out of your comfort zone! Thoroughly enjoyed this. Some great images too.

[@beatrixpendragon]

OMG my favorite photography creator Sean Tucker 💜

[@Tavikles]

Amazing video, the new format on how you are filming this section is super pro and really joy to watch. Super constructive and instructive. Absolutely loved it.

[@pHee3podcast]

Damn, bout time been waiting forever

[@TheMrWillje]

See this is why i love black and white most of the time. I think that if the colours in a photo add nothing to the composition, then make it black and white. Works very well with his emphasis on light.

[@gavinperry]

I’ve always respected Sean Tucker - this candid interview and challenge was just awesome!

[@noenken]

I just watched this at home on a somewhat decent monitor but I bet those shots would hold up just fine on 5" screens. So yeah, for instagram it really doesn't matter what camera you're using.

[@oscararborist]

I want to buy the cheap cameras used in these Cheap Camera Challenge videos. You should make them available so that viewers can try the challenge and compare their results to the results the pro got.

[@kathleenhart707]

Sean is truly inspirational. Nice to see a more relaxed, impromptu side to him in this video.

[@neumlephotodude]

I just love this format. And the photographers you pick. Great job and keep it up please!

[@oc2phish07]

I just HAD to 'like' this because London is my home town. I have taken many street shots in the very same areas we saw in this video and the whole thing brought back so many great memories. Excellent video, loved it. Let's see more like it.

[@chainsaw2046]

This is very much the type of photography that I like to shoot, and I am usually criticized by other students who say 'oh, those are just shapes' and other comments of that sort. I just enjoy the way the light hits things, and usually shoot around 10am if possible

[@TGCid01]

Love how you guys overlayed the quotes over the slow mo clips just like Sean haha. Nice touch.

totally get that introvert energy drain and being unable to get into pub/drinking culture
