Tethered with Nick Carver - Are We Real Photographers? Filming in Public. Almost Giving Up.

[@AustinMattison]

Nick Carver is the most underrated KZbinr out there.

[@catmonkey6826]

Kinda... I think the number of people who appreciate his work are a reflection of the number of people who really love photography and get off their arses and do it. The clickbait monsters, well you can guess the rest, it's the first thing on the menu, for those not going any deeper than 20billion pixels and eye and nipple focus guarantee... pass me the remote :)

[@bluebaconjake405]

Nick’s pictures are amazing and the amount of work he put into a shot is astonishing

[@isaiahherve]

Holy shit my 2 favorite photographers, the greatest crossover episode in history

[@linjicakonikon7666]

Get a grip. They're just KZbinrs

[@suddeneye9836]

took the words right out of thumbs

[@SteveMillerhuntingforfood]

When describing Nick Carver, the first word that comes to mind is authentic.

[@dlmp70]

Perfect description of Nick Carver!

[@DennisMook]

This is probably the most honest, unpretentious conversation between two photographers I’ve ever had the pleasure of witnessing. This conversation rises so much above others in every way. Wow! Extraordinary. Excellent. All I can say is more, more, more. A heartfelt thank you to both of you.

[@lucascjardim]

Nick's videos are indeed on point of everything... quality, edition, content, humor... IMO one of the finest youtube channel's out there.

[@chrisloghry4005]

Love this Thomas Heaton! Starting off with Nick was a great move. "Tethered" is a perfect name for this.

[@RussWeymouthPhotography]

That hour passed by quickly 🙂 I would love to see a future chat between yourself and Ben Horne.

[@JoshPricePlus]

This! Get Ben on!

[@brianbeattyphotography]

I'll third this comment as well!

[@robhalliburton8501]

Good to hear two photographers with influence mentioning education. I'm Northumberland based & have started up a camera donation project, redeploying unused or unwanted photography gear to local schools. Got to encourage the yung'ns!

[@lizclayton8464]

Loved this! How about getting the F4 group together for an anniversary chat? (if you are still talking to one another). Maybe Kim Grant? Glyn Dewis? Morten Hilmer? BVS? Or maybe one with Charlotte for the real inside scoop?

[@robertlavers1121]

Nick’s anecdote about a truck in front of his shot reminded me of when I was doing something similar, waiting with my eye to the viewfinder for a gap in the traffic. After I had taken the shot I saw a bus driver had stopped and waited for me, I waved thanks, she smiled and drove on.

[@RClackett]

That would be a great chat. I think I could listen to that for well over an hour.

[@galensinkey]

Great suggestion. Just started watching Sean Tucker.

[@hughfryer3813]

That’s the same photographer that came to my mind. Very different styles and philosophies, which would make it a brilliant conversation.

[@Vincent-ge1lr]

There’s a Danish wildlife photographer Morten Hilmer who has a YT channel like you. Maybe you know him, his videos are addictive like yours and his perspective is so close to your philosophy as a photographer. Would be a great match you two talking about your work. Love your work.

[@simonbaigrie2485]

They actually did a short series together a few years ago

[@Mysterium777]

I second this, your video with Morten was a great watch. I would love it if you did another video of this style together 😊

[@SteveMillerhuntingforfood]

An interview with Morten would be good.

This is the photography love story I have been dreaming about ☺️♥️♥️ the two photographers on KZbin I admire the most being tethered together. So happy watching and listening to this 😊

[@0871clare]

What a great podcast, these two men have terrific speaking voices #1, their photography is superb and the conversation was easy to relate to. Love photography talk, and their shared interest in film photography...I miss that, makes me think it may be something to consider again in the future.

[@MrJAMESMORTIMORE]

This is the second time of watching this video, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute (again). Nick C is probably my favourite "youtuber" he comes across as being so laid back and his manner is so authentic. Great choice for your first "tethered".

[@indianwinter]

I seen all Nick's videos ,I don't even do film. Just love his attitude and it's great entertainment..Great show Thomas .Just remember to keep having fun.

[@TheGazmondo]

Craig Roberts, e6 vlogs ? A very much more light hearted character , I believe has a publishing background, shooting for Mags ? Talented all rounder !

[@jekeyes]

An hour of two of my favorite photographers. Great show and conversation. Thank you for this. I would love to see you and Peter McKinnon on Tethered. The name is prefect.

[@yogid21]

Two of my favourite landscape photographers in one vlog. That makes my day..

[@iKeto_gal]

Wow a collab I never thought would actually exist lol . Amazing! 🤍 Hope one day you both get together physically out in the field ⭐️

[@crashtest4585]

😮

[@AnalogInsights]

This is so wonderful. Jules and I (Max) are watching simultaneously and love it so much. Thanks for doing what you’re doing, Nick and Thomas. Beautiful new format. You both are a tremendous inspiration for our channel as well. Keep doing what you’re doing. Greetings from at least two other introverts who needed to establish KZbin personalities. ;)

[@SteveMillerhuntingforfood]

I love your channel, the quality of content is incredible and several of your video's have resulted in new (old) equipment in my kit. Like a Bronica SQ-B, Olympus XA, and a Pentax LX. Not to mention a superb Canon 50mm f/1.4, in L39 mount.

[@jorgeramirez1450]

I have been following for a couple of years now. I like it that you are not afraid to recognize talent where there is talent. Particularly, I like how you are comfortable praising the work of other photographers and recommending other KZbinrs. I started following Nick Carver after you recommended him. You are a good person. You will do well. Thank you for the great content!

[@hramakrishnaiah413]

My photographic taste and approach changed significantly ever since I came across Nick's channel. I rate him as one of the best in terms of quality and most times number of subscribers does not indicate that quality factor. Excellent video this.

[@benomatography]

This was really nice! If it would be possible: Please get Sean Tucker into the show!

[@lightscolors7554]

owh that is a really nice suggestion. Please Thomas, do that!

[@scovarrubias24]

Thomas and Nick Carver! Heck yeah! Nick Carver is one of my favorite photographers. I am fortunate to live close to him. I hope to take a workshop with him one of these days.

[@christophershirley1303]

Brilliant show, from two people I highly respect. Your attempts to describe why you both love shooting on film, are fascinating. I have started shooting film again after picking up my dad's old Olympus OM10 and seeing if it still worked... It's magic, and feels somehow more like the images are more "authentic", and a wonderful feeling to go back to techniques that take just a little more thought at the time of shooting. Hope this series lasts a long time!

[@rajasekaran5055]

whenever i feel like am loosing sanity over gear and modern trends in photography, i watch thomas videos to remind myself what is real landscape photogarphy. thomas is like galen rowell of modern landscape photography.

[@scothowe539]

You can finish that conversation you had with Ben Horne when you were in Zion. He’s always great to listen to.

[@mdhazeldine]

This is awesome. 2 of my favourite KZbin channels combined! One suggestion: You might want to actually upload the audio as a real podcast to podcast platforms like Spotify, Google or Apple so we can listen in our cars or wherever we are.

[@mrls2u]

Specific content aside, I've whittled down my KZbin viewing to channels...people...that speak to the topics I'm interested in with authenticity and humanity. Thomas and Nick both do that so well, and it's really appreciated. Cheers!

[@danblair8606]

What a great idea. And with Nick to start off. What a great combination. Been a fan of both of you for years now.

Great video, Thomas. You and Nick are so similar in personality and style. Your honesty, transparency & vulnerability complement each other perfectly. Thanks for introducing Nick. I've now subscribed to his chanel. Keep on tethering, mate!

[@CWReace]

I'm thinking getting tethered with James Popsys might be interesting: another nice-seeming guy with some common interests, but notable differences, too (e.g almost never uses a tripod, often puts a person in his photos).

[@OracleFP]

[@neilhampshire2396]

Loved that Tom. Time just flew by. How about a chat with Murray from Scotland’s Mountains or Nick Livesey?

[@neilhampshire2396]

Forgot to add. As you’re a professional photographer and taking photos is work (annoying as it may be that you get to do it for a living😉) I can’t see any issue with you going out and vlogging. Although I can see that you may be a bit apprehensive of the welcome that you might get from local residents, and the tedium of having to explain that you are doing your job. Given the time of year it’s a bit awkward to be in and out before anyone else is aware you’ve been.

[@barryryder_photography]

Try contacting James Popsys, he would probably be up for this kind of thing.

[@Ramage7070]

That was fun and entertaining. Need to check out Nick's stuff. I think Morten Hilmer would be an interesting guest because he does a lot of the camping and hiking but his subjects are mostly on the landscape (wildlife) and not the actual landscape. I would also like to see Greg Snell to talk about the videography side of creating.

Absolutely fabulous. Best video/podcast I have watched in years. This HAS to be a success and I look forward to many more - and I have now subscribed to Nick's channel. I spent over 40 years with film and almost all of it with medium and large format. I have also been yearning to go back to film but unfortunately the trend back to film has not reached South Africa yet (if it ever will) and at the moment is simply not a viable option. Well done Sir Thomas.

In the spirit of constructive feedback. You seemed to be looking “down” presumably because of the position on the screen. I tip I’ve used for work conf calls like this is to shrink the video chat window as small as can be and drag it to the top of your screen right under the webcam. That way it keeps the eye line up high during conversation. Hope that’s helpful. This was excellent!

You truly are a friend of mine. Take care, Tom!

I'd be interested in seeing you chat with Henry Turner. He's earlier in his career shooting than you, and has a much more outgoing personality. It would be an interesting combination.

[@mattcom2]

Excellent! The content and form are most engaging. The fact that you chose to produce it as two individual, high quality videos assembled after the fact....”tethered” only by a simple, single-strand earbud/microphone in each location with B roll and stills laid in as needed....made for an elegant presentation. No intrusive hardware in the shot...no mics on booms, soft boxes, computers, tripods or other junk...kept the focus on real content. Most of all, no squawking Zoom interviews. I’ll take more anytime. Thank you.

[@robertnystrom289]

Fabulous! Loved every minute! Great name! On film- in these days of 20 to 30 frames per second, probability alone will get you something. But then there's the chore of sorting through potentially hundreds in post. I personally dread that; I stick to single shot mode. I think because film is limited- you've got a 'roll'- and since you need to make it count, one mentally gives oneself permission and an 'excuse' to take the time to get it right- or at least close. A sort of personal freedom to make choices. No bits, no bytes, no software updates. Just an emulsion and you.

[@MrDennisben]

I first got into Nick's channel when I started shooting film 3 years ago and i binge watched all his videos. I remember the Paris photos but especially his toilet related story but I never appreciated those photos. I believe Nick's faults are his inconsistency about posting videos and him not believing in himself. Nick don't sell yourself short. You have a great persona (since you admitted that this not your everyday self) and I adore your work. Great video Thomas. So happy to see two of my favorite artists chilling and talking stills and film

What a treat! I found Nick Carver's KZbin channel through this channel and really enjoy his photography and his manner of presentation. His color landscape and cityscape work reminds me a bit of the early colorists (roughly 1950s and beyond). His fractured window photos from Paris could have been out of a Saul Leiter exhibit. I believe i also found Ben Horne's work from watching videos here, and he would make a great guest for this new series, as would Brendan van Son.

[@irwinmorrow1267]

Thank you Thomas, what an excellent way to spend a evening. Hopefully there will be more of this to come in the future. Maybe a regular thing. I know Alister Benn does something similar with his vision & light, which is always good and hugely interesting. One of my favourite KZbin videos I saw you in was you, Nick, Gavin and Adam sat in a pub in the winter time in Canada I think, just having a chat about photography. I think the reason I like this so much is I can imagine myself just sat there having a chat with you about photography. Thank you 👍

I was a bit surprised too that you didn't "know" each other before, but I'm not surprised that the conversation went so fluidly. I feel your ethos' regarding photography are very much compatible, emphasizing constant reflection about why you take the shot, how you feel, etc.

[@davidellinsworth22]

Loved this, Thomas. Nick is fantastic. I started following him about 6 months ago (after you mentioned him in a video, funnily enough) and also because I was thinking of starting to shoot film as well (which I since have done). He's an endless source of inspiration and, evidently from this video, a real nice down to earth guy. Thanks Tom and Nick. Interested to see who the next "Tethered" guest will be (great name by the way). Cheers. PS ask Gavin.... he's appearing on everyone's bloody channel recently 🤣... Chuckles aplenty in that one
