Creating Mood and Mystery in your Street Photography (feat. Joshua K Jackson) 

Sean, I think you highly undervalue yourself. I’ve listened to you a lot, through your videos and podcasts that you’ve been on. Your videography skill is incredible. You took this guys work, and put him into it. All of the shots that had a red hint to them really felt like he was put into his work. It showed him and how he see his world. Absolutely amazing how you did that. And my personal favourite thing is the way in which you did it so simplistically.

the way you color corrected the video to fit his style is a nice touch

Hands down one of the most comprehensive Photography channels on You Tube!

I couldn't hit the like button fast enough. This was like a Master Class on street photography.

I really liked how you described that he isn't booking flights to big, aesthetically-pleasing cities to shoot amazing images and that he's really getting to know one city. I'm not gonna lie, my excuse of not going out to shoot is because my town is small and it becomes an eyesore since I've lived and grown up here. But this inspired me to really make the effort to see things through a new perspective, especially being in a small town. Thanks for another amazing video Sean!~

Joshua is a good photographer but, my god, Sean is a great narrator, writer, producer, film maker... and I haven’t even seen his photos yet. Excellent job on this video! I always wanted to do street photography but never knew where to start. This video really motivated me and I can’t wait to get out and start start shooting. Thanks!

Love this, other artist introductions, more of this please

Sean, I love how you dive deeper into photography and not swim at the technical surface. I really like the technical aspect but it is very refreshing and inspiring to listen to your and other's philosophy in photography!

you're not one of those people who just sell their own "cheap tricks" to get more views and more acknowledgment. You're someone who encourages people to go out and fail at their work, day after day after day until they get one small improvement at what they're doing. Whether its Photography, or maybe some other ideas people are willing to put their effort on. I TRULY ADMIRE YOU.

Hell yes, two of my favourites together in one vid.

2 years in not really a reference, at least this story tells me that. Giving his work ethics and hours a day he puts in his photography, by some "normal" standards you could say that he is a street photographer for 8 years. And even better, he is consistent, which is like 16 years :) For everything you do or learn in life, when you make big breaks in between, it takes so much more time to get to a certain level. Thank you for this, and all your other videos. Very inspiring.. it's 9PM, I'm going out to shoot now.. Cheers!

This guy explains everything so clearly. I enjoy listening to him.

I've become addict of your videos. They are so far better than 90% of the photography You Tube videos because they always stimulate my own thinking about this amazing practice we are all engaged in. I've been a photographer for over 60 years (now 76) and joyfully I am still learning. Keep 'em coming.

oh by the way i think your music is stylistically appropriate. magnifique!

Interesting to hear about the "Curiosity Gap" I think that's what i've been trying achieve, But didn't understand it fully until now :-)

Sean, i believe that this video made me want to try street photography, such an inspiring video and your gifted talent as a videographer is priceless a true master class video. million tnx for this Sean.

Please start your own PODCAST!! _/\_

This it's one of the most inspiring videos I've seen in a long time. And probably the last one was by you too Sean. Thanks for sharing such an amazing content and keep focus in what really matters, producing images. Creating. Kind regards.

I started looking at this guy's photos and started crying and I don't know why.

Great story Sean and incredibly beautiful portrayed. I would like to see more of these videos. Creative greetings Alain

I really cried because you have given me hope Sean. Thank you so much.

Another quality video Sean - thank you once again for the effort you put in. Quality shines through your work. I love Joshua’s work - his images are so consistent, interesting and full of that curiosity he clearly works hard to generate. Thanks once again to you both for taking the time to create this fantastic film on creating, generating and building a style that is unique and reminding that in the end, it takes time, effort & commitment.

I can't say enough about your image channel Sean. I've been shooting, evaluating and teaching photography for over 30 years, I really enjoy your style of showcasing the medium. Your down to earth straight on approach keeps you engaged and the message really hits home. For years I've been complaining about elevating my photography to the next level when really putting the time would move me closer. Thank you, continue the inspiring work you do.

Joshua's work reminds me so much of Leiter's it's actually incredible

I'm late to the party with this, but wow.....what an honest, inspiring and intelligent presentation. Great to shine some light on Josh Jackson's talent too. Thank you!

Hi Sean, wow this is more of a beautifully shot short documentary film than a video. If you haven't already considered making short documentary films then perhaps you should. Sean you have a gift for story telling and film making.

Sean.. great insigh into the skills & thought process of Joshu.. thks a ton fof this incredible video.. loved it.. cheers, Vernon Alvares from Mumbai India

Thought provoking and inspirational ideas. Thanks for sharing. I’m just seeing this in May 2021 as I explore street photography.

just saw one of your videos where you talked about editing the color and taking influence by the cinema, and i would really like to suggest you some of my favorite movies with great use of color (dont know how many have you seen but definitely check them out) so i will go with wender's paris texas, chungking express (actually the whole filmography of wong kar wai has amazing aesthetics , shot by christopher doyle) and kieslowski's 3 color trilogy and double life of veronique (which has an amelie like color pallet and again gorgeous cinematography)

Wow, this is uplifting and inspiring. And a reminder of why I love your channel so much, Sean. Just one of those small things: the due and space you give the people you're interviewing and featuring. Your love and passion for photography and humanity and storytelling is always palpable. If you should ever make it to the Lower Rhine for a workshop or meet-up, let me know.

Just wanted to thank you, I found your channel today (10/3/2020) and this is only the 2nd video of yours I have watched . I can already tell that yours is going to be one of the most watched channels I am subscribed to. Thank you so much for your insights and advice.

Sean, I just looked at your store and I also like the A3 prints you are now offering, and it occurred to me again as I mentioned in a previous comment, that I really like your trio of images such as the Himba portraits in previous episodes and how the three portraits of the gentlemen behind accentuate the room behind you in this video. Personally, I think sets of three images of a theme make for a lovely centrepiece, and having more than one set would allow for the themes to be changed or rotated, possibly with the seasons, and might be attractive to interior decorators as well as some of your followers.

Man. This was amazing! You're easily my favourite source of photography content on RU-vid. Thanks so much. So much inspiration.

Loved the whole ambience of the video. Epic background music (Is it Indian classical?) to indistinct chatter when Joshua was talking to incorporating reds. I love night street photography and this video perfectly encapsulates that feel of city at night.

I really enjoy your images and your films. You need to come and talk to my (not photo) students about putting the time in to realise the results they desire or in some cases expect. Thank you and I’ve followed Joshua. What I enjoy about You Tube is that as a self designated landscape photographer I have learned so much about trying new things and at the moment my most praised image is a night street scene from Paris. Who knew? I certainly didn’t. Get out and take the shot.

in every one of your videos i am more and more amaze of your creativity and geniusly way to intrigue the people with all you do my friend congratulations and over all thanks so much for your collaboration that you give to people like me who are learning photography in a practical way my respect and appreciation .

I love street photography and i put myself out a lot but i tell you, its challenging to make this in a 11k citizen town...really hard. Anyway, once in a blue moon something unexpected comes up and you get a decent shot!

Oh how I enjoyed this video, so much insight and beautifully produced. Thank you.

Another brilliant video, thanks for this Sean, I'll definitely be following Joshua. Right now, I'm taking photographs that I'd be happy to put on my wall, nothing more. That being said, my wall is still blank, I'll just keep taking them anyway.

God why do you hold a mirror to us, showing us we are sooooo lazy, I know I am! Thank you for driving us forward x

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing all of this valuable information, As you said, just need to go out and shoot until I’ll find something I really like 👍

Joshua K Jackson, the guy who appeared briefly in one of Kai's street photography videos, is actually a master.

Thank you Mr. Tucker!! Great Video too! I wanna go out in the evening and take all the red lights of Brussels!!!

Great video. Came across your work recently. This video provoked the perfect questions for me with my photography. Thanks for highlighting Joshua’s work. Reminds me of the focus Ernst Haas has in his images.

Absolutely terrific video Sean. I loved this and Josh’s work, and I was so happy to go back to IG to find that I was already following both Josh and you. I look forward to learning so much more from your videos.

Totally unrelated to you video content, but it was nice to see the three portraits in the background. If I'm not mistaken, those are ones you deem to be your life mentor? Love the series you published that explains the process of making that portraits. I learn a lot from that video. Great content as per usual!

Thanks very much Sean for this interview/video. Very inspiring!!!

Great video as always, Sean! Btw, we have made a compilation of our favorite photos of yours in our latest video. Hope you like it. We really admire your work, keep it up!

Excellent video. I've been following Joshua on Instagram since I started to get involved in street photography. He is one of my favourites. And Sean, I totally agree with the featured comment of Christopher Wood about ur own job. They way u told this story was totally immersive, and really matching Joshua's style. Congrats!

Your videos are so lovely and full of mood - this one reminded me of WKw's In The Mood for Love. Perhaps you know the answer to this since you've been studying the history of street photography: how "fast" was the glass those guys used in the '50s and '60s? I love low light and night work, but everyone's always chasing the fastest glass and I'm wondering how much it *really* matters if you know your tools.

Awesome video. Your words on working hard are the thruth and deeply inspiring. Thank you.

I wish we had foggy windows in Copenhagen, but alas our buildings are properly insulated and ventilated.

Great video. Thank you.

Excellent as usual. Amazing videography.

Excelent! Fred Herzog used reds very well in his photos too. Congratis for the video.

Fantastic viewpoints! I'm totally loving this new window into other Street Photographer's way of seeing. Totally awesome!

Really incredible video sean!

100% true! This was more insightful than any of the classes or courses available today. Why? This is because understanding the work ethic and thought processes of other creatives informs your own and allows you to push yourself further and further!

Thank you Sean! This and your video other about the contact sheets, were just what I need to feel more confident and motivated.

Very similar to Saul Leiter’s style. Stunning work, great video, great advice! Thank you🙏

Even his camera strap is red haha. Excellent video as always! 👌🏻

Thank you for this video. I love Josh's style, approach, and the way he challenges photography norms.

Really like to learn from all these humble and talented people. It is wider than just photography.

Love the storyline and photos! Thank you! From SA.

Sean very valuable presentation, Joshua work atmosphere remind me Saul Leiter.Thank you both for this moment !

Felt like the shortest video I have ever seen on youtube. This video is not a content, its the heart of photography. Thanks youtube for recommending Sean to me and thanks Sean for recommending Joshua to me. 🙏

Thanks for this interesting portrait! Without your help and this channel, I would never have known this outstanding street photographer and his work.

This is by far the best of your YT videos...soo inspiring. I love JJ's work and have been waiting for a long time for this video. Bravo to both of you guys!

A huge thank you for some of the finest photography-centric videos available on the tube. The work you put into it is palpable and remarkable as the intent comes through, sight and sound. Much to like and learn from. Best wishes for the new year.

Great video. Got me to understand the big difference between professional and amateur. the amount of time and planing you are willing to put into it. So, I will remain amateur as a photographer and remain profesional in my real profession. Thanks!

Watched it when it was originally posted but after today’s video with Joshuas book, this takes another dimension. Thanks for being such a great mentor, Sean :)

This is 19min 36sec of perfect film making. Excellent stuff. Thank you

This video is so inspiring, one of the best imho.... And the music *sigh* Also, I think this video is very confronting, which is probably the best thing about it, encouraging us to become better at whatever we do, photography or otherwise.

Outstanding, what an inspiration! both of you. May I ask what camera / lens combo he uses for his work?

Amen and thank you. Knowing the city, the rhythm, the lights across the seasons. No need to fly to New York to have moments to remember. Streetphotography begins in your own backyard.

Thank you Sean for this video. Utterly amazing and thank you for introducing me to Joshua's work.

Ive watched a lot of photography vids and this one has to be one of the most interesting. Reason is i started following Josh 2 weeks ago as i came across his page on Insta. I was amazed by how he uses shadows, light, colours and having the main subject some what not blatantly infront of the camera. Then landed on this vid today. Im ready to hit the streets of London.

Sean, first of all I’d like to say thankyou. This must be one of my favourite videos of all time on RU-vid, as a total beginner, especially to Street Photography, I took quite a lot from this. I really liked the Dustpan and Brush shot, I’d hang that on my wall anytime

absolutely fantastic Sean... I have been wanting to learn a bit more into the thoughts and process of Joshua in this past week and low and behold you bring this out. The vibe, style and execution of this video is superb.

Sean Tucker documentary maker! Is there no limits to your talents?

Outstanding night walk on London! The production, ambience and color temperature are cinematic!

Really enjoyed this episode. Looking forward to the next one.

Dude, I found this so refreshing, I'm so sick of the "what is up guys" crew. This video is honest and down to earth, totally stoked, thank you.

Now I really want to do a 10min challenge with Joshua and you! 😆

I had the pleasure of Josh showing me around the Carnaby Street popup Photography Exhibition he was involved in last year, having gatecrashed somewhat as they were setting up. A top guy, really passionate and knowledgeable about his art and great to see him getting the broad audience for his work that he deserves. Great job Sean.

Like this video and lesson very much, it helped me a lot. Thx!

So many pearls of wisdom here. Beautifully produced video hits all the marks. Well done.

Sean, I honestly couldn't appreciate this video enough. it was absolutely incredible. So inspiring.

Another excellent inspirational video. Thanks a lot.

Very insightful video. Thank you

This episode really talked to me. Thanks Sean!

Sean I found this clip so impressive, I come from a Videography back ground turned Photographer the subject matter the compelling story the Colours and Lighting. Your techniques employed what gives me the how sharing and advice especially introducing your images and Joshua's in this clip. What I also loved is the back ground music to create mod. The dialogue just flows with interest. I tend to listen to each clip. It's an Art form within the video "Sounds" while blogging and reporting requires complete attention to detail. Where light colour and mod is so important for your audience this also applies to your sound in the clips. Such as Dynamic range texture interlace the visual with the sound just selecting sound tracks is another masterful learning kerb. While post production tasks up your valuable time. Look forward to your next clip... Ps arriving in London early May with a new Fujifilm system just for travel purposes, Unfortunately being inconspicuous is hard when your 6"" 4 weighing 120 kilo's and built like a Rugby player especially when photographing in Japan.

Sean, your videos are like short, exceptionally well-made documentaries. Always informative, interesting and inspiring.

Bought your 2018 Book arrived two days ago. It reflects the personality of the person I have got to know through your RU-vid channel. Always captured by the quotes you use on the Channel and the Book, how do you find find them?, they always fit the occasion. Keep going in the direction you started in 2018 and the expanded direction you have set for 2019. All the best for 2019

I imagine this guy making a documentary series of half an hour or one hour each episode, about photography on National Geographic, I would totally watch it. I feel like it would be something beautiful to watch, great philosophies, great advice, what it means to him and other photographers, etc. He's videos have the quality to be at that level.

This video and redness, and music !!! Very cool!!!

Pretty risky walking around London with a Leica

This makes me want to go night shooting more often! I was just traveling in SE Asia and did what he mentioned quite often while photographing the street markets early in the morning before sunrise: I found the light source and waited for something to happen. I ended up with some beautiful images because of it.

Love Joshs work, the depth of his images is amazing. Very well put together, Sean, the b-roll really highlights his way of shooting!

Stunning video. His style is wonderful. All I want to do right now is go for a walk through Lancaster.
