Some very good points Paul. Especially about the print-worthy images. Ansel Adams said that 12 great images per year is a good results; wildlife photographer David Yarrow says if he gets 4-6 printable images per field visit, he is doing well. People seem to confuse quantity with quality.
Hey Paul, amazing images and emotions captured. I have just signed up and saw the pre-order promotion for the new course. As I mostly shoot film, my biggest challenge where I am presently is almost no access to film dev studios for BW films. Do you cover it in the course somehow? I am now thinking of developing films on my own. If you could share of the link would be great. Cheers!
Hi Paul, for me my goal is to take beautiful photographs or at least that I think are beautiful first of all for me, and that these photographs give me the satisfaction of looking at them and looking at them again and maintaining this pleasure for so long that I can say they deserve to be printed and maybe hung on the wall, then the dream would be to collect them in a book, one day.
In the meantime we keep shooting. 😊
wish I could zone focus that well. Trying to shoot more film
I wanna do it but I feel like my looks from having a stupid past will just make people suspicious of me. Been out of trouble for 20 years but tattoos make people skeptical of you. More so when it’s obvious I was an idiot when I was younger. Old gang tattoos on my face don’t scream you can trust me with you’re photos.
Setting goals for any endeavour can be very difficult to do successfully, but having something that keeps you moving forward and stretching and learning, is so important. I'm currently in the phase of a million ideas and possible goals swimming around my head regarding photography, so this is a well timed reminder to spend some time refining my own goals and ideas.
Your workshops look great – will defiitely be signing up for later 2024 or 2025.
I know it’s cliche to say that you should measure success by things you can control, not external things like awards, but a cliche is just a truth people have said too many times; it’s still true. Your photos and your philosophy captivates me. Keep on keeping on.
Paul, I really enjoy these video's!! I consider myself a travel photographer and I shoot color, but I take many portraits aswell. So I get a lot of inspiration from your channel. I do consider to attend one of your workshops, in London next year.
Paul, is the zone focusing skill on the online course? I’m already booked on and can’t wait 🤩
Your photographing strangers workshops look amazing. I shall defiantly be doing one.
