@raphyay Год назад

This video hit hard. This week has been really difficult : depressing weather, back pain, overworked... Yesterday morning i decided to wake up very early and took my camera. The city was still sleeping, a thick fog was covering everything. Being out alone in the dark, watching the day rise and the city life waking up felt incredible. Most pictures taken looked like shit, but i managed to have a few keepers that i really love. It makes you appreciate the little things. Just get out, close your social media. It might maybe make you a better photographer... but you will surely feel a better person. On a side note, i crave for these ambiant piano music. Would you mind sharing the song names in your credits ?

It’s so hard to put into words the amount of work that goes into your videos that translates so well to the viewer. Great themes and well structured “video essays”.

Thanks for making these videos🙌 I'm currently studying film and recently had no feeling to go out and create. Ever since I found your channel, I have remembered just how much I love this creative world of cinematography and photography, and why I ever picked up a camera in the first place. I believe that with any great tool there are always even greater things that can be made using it. I use a Fujifilm X-T30 ii and absolutely love using it! It's such an amazing piece of machinery, and I still feel I am yet to even scratch the surface of it. Thanks again for being such a big inspiration and influence and can't wait for the next video👀

@pedrova8058 Год назад

It's called fetishization, attributing the value/appreciation/desire of one thing instead of another. Consumption works well because it has become that: supplying non-existent "needs", and placing objects of consumption as responses to those created needs. I "need" a new lens, I "need" a more powerful camera... Maybe you need to put a little more interest and care in what you already do/have . . .

@GxAce Год назад

I absolutely have a camera fetish. Anything wrong with that?

@pedrova8058 Год назад

I can't answer that for you. But why do you ask? Maybe... . I only raise ideas on a topic that you expose, here in a public forum. I have no problems with the methods and objectives of the design, but when consumption is put before all the other premises of the work, it only remains to see how a certain form of economic model takes over everything else. "Fashion design" does more harm than good in the long run... . (and no, getting 'more stuff' doesn't necessarily make our job better. Collectors are cool, but they're not become great photographers/filmmakers just for that)

@RobbyHuang Год назад

This is such a good point! I think what happens with me is I get really frustrated with myself when I lust over the object and the idea of making something rather than just making something and that’s where the mindset of “it’s just a tool” comes from. But man, when you have a cool tool and it’s eminently functional, chef’s kiss.

@JPainter_ Год назад

@Drewxcifer Год назад

This video resonates with me deeply and the quality is beyond words! I am so happy to see someone in the youtube camera community with such originality and top tier quality of content!

@ardie3523 Год назад

This is a solid point for anyone who does a craft with a growth mindset where the tool is a positive and integral part of creation and flow. As a counterpoint, it ignores the reason why the "camera doesn't matter" argument is being made: a lot of people in any craft or hobby feel that nice things make them level up by default, like greatness is the finish line and the tool was the limiter. The romanticizing of the tool is important in a craft, but confuses growth with the dopamine hit of technical achievement or prestige. Your channel is a testament to a craftsman and growth mindset so it looks obvious coming from you, but countless people are frustrated that after the high of their new purchase, their photos and videos still suck. Unrelated, but I've been really enjoying the enormous effort and creativity in your videos, thanks for these incredible works!

@matthewpatterson9184 Год назад

This is absolutely beautiful, in every sense. Something I can wholeheartedly agree with and one of the reasons I shoot with a Fuji. The styling, tactile dials and buttons and the beautiful image quality from their X-Trans sensors and film simulations makes the X-T series an absolute joy to use. My passion for photography increased immensely after adopting a Fuji system.

@KeeganByrne Год назад

The most part of the video/photo yt channels always review cameras and accessories with cold perspective, talking about features and specifications. That information is really easy to find in the company website and stores. That's the reason I really love this channel. I can find important information about the photography: the feelings, the result, the experience, the passion for the medium, and so on. It's a real shelter for genuine photographers that we are done with all the technical and boring stuff. We want to enjoy photography regardless our level. In addition the production of the videos is really amazing and curated. Love it.
