In this video I share some thoughts on the cost we have to count when making the work we really believe in. Artists, at some point, have to decide whether to produce work which appeals to the widest audience possible for the sake of attention and "success," or communicate the message they really believe in on their own terms.

I absolutely love Jacob Collier. It's really nice to hear this view of creativity reinforced. I started KZbin because the change in government funding for the arts meant I wasn't working for the interesting clients like the BBC and the Arts Council anymore, but I was making corporate videos for oil companies and stock brokers instead. It wasn't what I went to art college for. If my main goal was views and subs it would feel like I was back where I was before. Thanks for making this.

Just want to let you know Sean, your work IS meaningful to me - as I go through my career as a 3d artist, designer and after hours photographer I find tutorials and reviews increasingly obsolete - you can learn all from just about anywhere and quite fast. What's most important is to be able to step back, take a look at your life and past work and to be able to direct your gaze in a direction that will give a deeper meaning to all that you do.

I am not a novice - I started working in the business over 40 years ago - although I am the first to admit I will never cease to learn in terms of both technical and artistic aspects of photography. I enjoy those practical 'how to' videos you make, but the ones I most appreciate are the ones that deal with our journeys as creatives, and your philosophical commentaries. To me, they have a special and almost unique value that is very special and precious. So know you have a constituency of people who understand your message and appreciate your special voice.

As a professional artist I know exactly what you mean and have a similar experience. When I mainly only worked for art galleries and did not yet have my own customer base, I mainly made my paintings to the taste of the customers and galleries. Gradually I made more paintings in which I could put more soul into it. I could put more of my identity in my art. I was (even) happier to be able to make these works and the buyers were also enthusiastic which allowed me to drive up my prices. So everyone happy. The art collectors got something in return: authenticity. So, you see that you don't always have to follow customer demand, although this is a contradiction at first sight, to improve yourself and your art.

One of the things I've always admired about your channel is how your artistic perspective is not shaped by what's popular or trendy. I've tried to produce with my camera something that aligns with my definition of art. It's not perfect, sometimes it's technically lacking, but it's my vision. I recently met a young film maker just out of school and he paid me the biggest compliment I could ever receive. He said, "I really like your photography. Your photos really convey a story and an emotional feel." I thanked him and said that I was basically a beginner, in the geological sense, but that I was always willing to learn. I told him I look forward to seeing what he is able to create. Thank you for showing me that you don't have to choose between financial success or artistic fulfillment.

I really needed this. The way I see it, a creative puts their spin on someone else's vision. An artist pursues their own vision relentlessly and with very little compromise. Of course there are overlaps everywhere and I know the whole "I'm an artist" bit can come across as nauseatingly pretentious. But the fact is, there is a difference between somebody who does something creative to make money for a third-party, even if they have a fair amount of leeway in the process, and someone whose work is sufficient onto itself. Most of us play both roles. We gotta eat. And some artists even make a good living doing the work they want to do. The fact remains; if you compromise your vision to appeal to more people, no matter how well-intentioned that might be, you've essentially just found yourself a new employer,. You've become a freelancer to the masses.

Your timing is impeccable. Recently, I have struggled with feeling torn between my passions for writing and photography. I have bombarded my wife with questions of what I am better at, what I envision as more important, etc. She relayed the same exact message to me: where are you in this equation? Your message here underscored that idea: the correct answer is to do what you believe in. I have stories to tell the world, and I can do one or both of the above to do that. There is no hierarchy. There is simply what I believe I can do to tell my story. Thanks for these videos.

Hey man, I can really relate to that. I’ve been a musician since I was 8, and at 31 discovered my passion for photography (which I stilly kinda suck at, but... well, I’m passionate). It can be hard to figure out what it really is that you want to focus on. I feel the urge to prioritize because if I don’t, I might never get anywhere. But also I realized that I can express slightly different thoughts and emotions with the two art forms. Is it possible to combine both in the same work? I don’t know. It might be easier with writing and photography because both are (typically) visual only and not time based. Just out of curiosity: have you resolved that inner conflict or what’s your path going forward?

@@rickbiessman6084 that’s an awesome story. I’m curious: what music do you play? I totally think photography and music have an overlap! I think Salgado said that music and photography have a similar language in that they are invisible. I think he meant that they need no literal words to convey. I think I have resolved the issue: let the story decide. Photography and writing are similar, but they are better suited toward a particular story or message. I would employ either or both pending on the story I want to tell. What I have hypothesized is that each medium, whether writing or photography, is a craft. Both are art forms of course, but all art forms are crafts, not all crafts are arts (Sean may disagree!) But story; story is what I’m really after. Story is truly an art form I believe in the power of. And it is what I’m most passionate about.

One of my favorite quotes is: Be different, be yourself and be happy! So your absolutely right to be creating work that you love and not the people like to see. I do it and learn from my mistakes and very proud of my photos.

I love this video. It is about long term success with a true fan base and a dedicated, loyal community - not a quick, short term turnover! I enjoy most of your content as it is explaining the how to and the constant improvement outside of technique, effectively making me a better artist and person because of it! Thank you!

I watch you because there really isn't tutorials, no gear reviews. For me it's the inspiration, the thought and the creativity that goes into your work. Without the inspiration I wouldn't be creative myself. The Italy photographs look like you enjoyed your time there. Take care till next time.

Well, I watch all your videos and the ones I love the most are the more "philosophical". I think your channel is really unique, and that's why I like it!

I wanted to let you know that your videos are always ones I look forward to and I actually stop what I'm doing to pay attention to them. They are my constant reminder to be true to myself as an artist, to be intentional with my art, and also to take inspiration from other artists and how they think about their craft. Thank you, as always, for your inspiration.

Beautifully said Sean. The Jacob Collier analogy is great too. There are many people here in the comments section who feel that way about your work.

Great video Sean. Like you I have a couple of different types of videos I make. Some are "short histories" little documentaries about gear that pull down the views, then there are more philosophical topics and when people ask me what the channel is about, I steer them there. This conversation always puts me in mind of the Kevin Kelly "1000 True Fans" article. I even named my Patreon group "friends of five watt world" for that reason. Be true to yours. Your fans will like you for the right reasons... and so will you.

As someone who pursues photography to document my family life and as a creative outlet I really appreciate this perspective. I definitely consumed a lot of tutorials when I first started and that is an important type of work. Beginners need help! Now I am focused on the why we create. Which is why I appreciate your channel.

Sean, this video is why you're one of the best photography/art channels on youtube. There is no global right answer - only a right answer for you. I often tell people that I'd much rather provide a deeper emotional connection with fewer viewers of my work, then a small/minimal emotional connection with many viewers.

I like your niche (and your videos and your book). Folks with principles, and who act on those principles, are hard to find. But those are the folks that are most worth finding.

I confess I put on this video now because your voice is soothing and I needed to sleep😅. I also don't click on your tutorial videos, just those video essay type analysis ones. Although if I watched your portrait tutorials it may help me not shoot faces like prison convict photos. 🤣

Sean, Thank you, every time I watch one of your videos you inspire me to follow my own voice. I remember one day before dropping out of architecture college watching one of your videos and saying to myself I want to create something like this :) Thank you for all
