In this video Dan Baker talks about finding his own visual voice by photographing the same stretch of beachfront in his hometown of Cleethorpes. He covers his process for focussing on a very specific geographical location, how he approaches composition and framing, and how photography has helped him overcome his battles with dyslexia by uncovering his unique visual voice.

I really like these videos where you interview another photographer and, even though you're one of my most inspirational "speakers", I appreciate that you stay silent for this and just let the other one tell their story, uninterrupted.

@seantuck 2 года назад

Thanks my friend. These are honestly my favourite videos to make so I'm glad they connect with you.

@keithnisbet 2 года назад

I couldn’t have said it better. What a wonderful, inspiring and educational format. It’s like a giant breath of calmness in this world of chaos. Thanks to Sean and his guest.

@damianvain9600 2 года назад

Agreed!

@thegrayyernaut 2 года назад

My favorite video of this format that Sean made is the one with Fiona Lark, about Dramatic Self Portraits.

@derrenleepoole 2 года назад

Sean always has this uncanny knack of posting a video that delivers a message I really need to here, but didn’t really know it. Great work from Dan too.

@seantuck 2 года назад

That's good to hear

@StenhousePhotography 2 года назад

He captures the British seaside so perfectly, a bit crap, really tired, but the best memories and nowhere else in the world has it. We'll done to you both, great video.

@BalthasarGondii 2 года назад

Dan is one of those guys who answers the messages and actually interacts with people. We are following each other on Instagram for quite some years and he never stopped answering my messages which I find rare in the social media sphere. He is authentic and in my opinion, one of the best colorful-eye-catching photographers!! Cheers!!

Thank you so much buddy! 🙏😁

My wife and I just moved to an area very much like Cleethorpes: bayside town, population 5k. I've been bummed that I can't take the urban kind of photos I used to and I've been at a loss for what to do. I know I need to learn how to adapt and see the unique opportunities around me, but what can I say, I suck at change. 😄 Dan's work has been very inspirational for me. Thanks very much for showing it here.

@denisesavage2382 2 года назад

My favourite phrase from these videos where you let others talk is when you say, I'm gonna shut up now, and let . . . .tell their story. Love that moment! Thanks for the engagement with Dan's story!

@seantuck 2 года назад

You're welcome Denise:)

@MadredeAgua9 2 года назад

I especially loved the photo of the boy falling...reminded me of Icarus falling down from the sky. Very powerful archetype. Beautiful images from a very beautiful individual.

@photodan88 2 года назад

Thank you 🙏

@jillmayes139 2 года назад

Visual literacy is so important. As Dan’s experience shows, not everyone is able to negotiate letters and numbers, but picking up and using a camera communicates things that words cannot. Excellent message!

@thetalkingfly 2 года назад

Sean- Nice conversation and good to hear Dan’s story. Thanks, Steve

@tomconniffe8891 2 года назад

It's only a hundred yards of beach...but what a fabulous hundred yard to have on your doorstep, and Dan produces such fabulous work to do it justice..

@bakaroo23 2 года назад

All the respect to anyone who can focus on a single project like this for a multi year period. The community will be grateful.

@johnburrow4124 2 года назад

I appreciate that you had Dan on to tell his story. He is a wonderful photographer and a super nice human to chat with!

@seantuck 2 года назад

Agreed:)

@wayneclayton5426 2 года назад

Taken some pictures along that same stretch myself.

@nohandle-01 2 года назад

I think of photography as therapy and agree with Dan about it being a way to express yourself when you don't feel like you fit in other places or spaces. The greater meaning for him and connection is o clearly emotional. Loved this

@robinbhairam7508 2 года назад

Interesting how he’s become an accepted part of the landscape. I’ve always run, but during lockdown I, like most people took to walking each day. I met so many people, it was incredible, in fact I get strangers approach me and say ‘you’re that bloke who’s always walking or running aren’t you?’ - I am definitely going to try this approach. Another inspirational gem Mr T - I’ve also followed Dan. Thanks 😊

@dhannon5460 2 года назад

It’s all good. The “3 of a kind” is a real gem.

@padraicomeara 2 года назад

Lovely piece, and awesome to get to know Dan and his work. I'd love to see you do more of these with photographers you are inspired by.

@jobecker1122 2 года назад

I love the British Seaside. I first get in touch with pictures from this area as I bought a book in England in 1980. "A day off" by Tony Ray Jones who passed away much too early. And Dan is putting this feeling in perfect pictures. Thanks for this great interview and for bringing Dan's work to my attention.

@darrenleigh201 2 года назад

I love how he tries to find a "three-of-a-kind" when making an image: a moment, a composition, and color. Fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

@ratgirl13 2 года назад

Dan Baker making the ordinary-extraordinary-beautiful photos, I enjoyed hearing him speak about his photography process. Thank you Sean and Dan. Cheers!

@agustintajch 2 года назад

Your videos and perspective of life is beautiful! Thanks for sharing and inspire us! 🤗

@scottyharp 2 года назад

I really appreciate his take on setting up his frame with regard to subject and composition alone can produce a really good black and white image and how to create an even different image if he can find color to add to it now he's created a really good color image. Definitely something for me to keep in mind with my shooting.

@gordonwill6885 2 года назад

Thanks Sean - and Dan - your videos often come when I'm struggling with motivation, direction an purpose.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@danpep123 2 года назад

Bravo. Another great film. Very inspiring that Dan Baker.

@WimBals 2 года назад

Thank you very much for this video. It remains exceptional that the same place can continue to surprise. It also teaches us that we don't necessarily have to travel the world to take exceptional photos. The photos exude a certain melancholy that I appreciate very much. Best regards, Wim Bals, artist.

@seantuck 2 года назад

Absolutely! Thanks Wim:)

@robspedding9520 2 года назад

Massive fan of Dan’s work and this was a brilliant insight into how he works.

@Dplaysitcool Год назад

Loved this video. Especially when he was speaking about wanting those three elements for his photos. A moment, composition, and colour. Very interesting, insightful and helpful. Thanks Sean.

@ryanlawnphotography Год назад

Spectacular

@obscur_yoann 2 года назад

I really enjoy Dan's approach here. It's also a good exercise to concentrate just on one place for some time (not necessarily as long as him 😅). That's what I like about street photography. I live in a small town and I learned to not be bored photographing it. Because even if I visited the same place many times, there is always something new going on, or you notice something you didn't before. The randomness of the streets is what I enjoy the most! Thanks, Sean, for another great video about Photography, not gear and all those superficial things.

@go_rideyourbike 2 года назад

Great content as always, thank you. Dan must have an endless amount of great compositions on a wait list for “moments” to unfold at in order for him to capture. Terrific talent and what a playground to explore the one you put yourself in!

@athiaan 2 года назад

Having shot with Dan a couple of times at the seafront before, I can definitely say from the sessions I’ve been on with him some of my best work has come from those ! I truly love how Dan expresses himself visually with the use of colour and how he composes his photos. Some of his techniques rubbed of on me from just simply looking at some of his work on a daily basis and thanks to him it’s completely changed how I approach a scene now and I absolutely love it !

@rogerwyatt3246 2 года назад

Just lovely, Sean’s coverage of the birds in the first few minutes, the murmuration of the flock of birds followed by the flock of seagulls is just great. Then there’s the excellent interview of Dan Baker. Dan keeps getting better and better. Then he’s talking about “magnetic frames” and “embrace randomness.” It’s all fantastic. I think it’s one of Sean’s best.

@samvholt 2 года назад

@bcegerton 2 года назад

Great video, I’ve been following Dan for a short while and even though most of his work is great, the traffic cone shot still stands out for me, love the muted vintage colours too

@carolinezaramati9193 2 года назад

It's very enjoyable for me to get to know Dan, hear his story and see his work. Photographing one small place for a long time as he did gives depth to his work and there is so much to learn from this.

@bhutanclinicalsociety9552 2 года назад

Thank for the great video sean 👍🙂

@VirtualTourPhotographer 2 года назад

Another great story - your ability to just let people be themselves is brilliant. And to boot... you're giving me ideas for places to visit when I'm in England in Sept. I'm hoping to get beyond and into nooks and cranys that even my British wife doesn't know about. Thank you - as always - brilliant!

@susanneh2207 2 года назад

Another great video! Checked out his IG and love Dan's work. Thank you for featuring him!

@AshleyGittins 2 года назад

It really feels like you are also finding your own voice in these videos, Sean. Throughout there's a feeling of complete immersion in your subject's world as they openly share their passion, and only afterwards do I get a sense of the things that must have happened between those sentences to support their sharing with just the right questions. It's a powerful merging of your varied experiences which I think achieve this. Then the editing, b-roll, storytelling and everything else on top - this work is just really satisfying. Nourishing, even.

@susanfirth2279 2 года назад

I really enjoy this type of video and the messages in them. I also really like how you let the guest tell their story. What a great location to have on your doorstep Dan. Makes me think of my childhood camping days with family. Looking for "full house" - loved that. Well done. Thank you.

@paulcritchley464 2 года назад

Really nice video I can relate with Dan Baker For one who has struggled the first 50 years of my life and didn't know I had a problem with Dyslexia Which is a understanding and not an excuse at 69 I'm comfortable with dyslexia. Words, spelling and writing can be Hell. My Dad and I think his Dad also struggled My kids missed out but my grandson has the same understanding. I'm really grateful to Steve Jobs as I understand he had dyslexia and really worked out to be pleasing to the eye. Personally I struggled with windows besides they just kept crashing, windows was hell. But then again I do stand amongst Gaints. Albert Einstein, Richard Branson well There are heaps of famous people out there I'll remember them when I press comment I'm a builder by trade math and geometry I have very little trouble with, the specs I have struggled with in the past now I take time to understand them

@kevinpalmer8947 2 года назад

Thanks Sean, this was one of those shared stories that reminds us all of the importance of our uniqueness, regardless or aside from the expectation society may place on what it wants from our photography. And that by letting ourselves be free to capture images we like or see,we enrich that society further. Thank you Dan for sharing your story.

@gnuhapi 2 года назад

Another excellent presentation based on a worthy subject. It is inspiring to see how Dan can take what some would call a mundane subject, apply his palette and eye to it and produce documentary art. Thank you and keep up the fine work.

@danielevenanzi7975 10 месяцев назад

I love Dan's work, and by NO MEANS this is an alibi, but having THAT waterfront right outside your doorstep makes the whole difference. Yes, you can shoot locally in a small village, yes you can resort to minimal and macro photography to explore new and exciting subjects to shoot, but at the end of the day, the location DOES matter, and we should stop pretending it doesn't. Dan's body of work is amazing, but one of the reason why it resonates so much with many people - myself included, don't get me wrong! - is that it reminds them of something really familiar: Martin Parr's work, and Parr depicts an aesthetic that's been there for decades - if not a couple of centuries - and the fact that many waterfronts in anglo-saxons countries share that same architecture, design (shapes, colors, red and white striped curtains and barber pools and colorful ice cream and fish n chips signs outside shops) proves it works. Dan is a great photographer, very talented at depicting what's already THERE - and not everywhere else. Not all placed have a proved, stylized aesthetic that resonates with so many people, and that's a fact
