Great video! That helps a lot ( I recently started learning product photography).

Great video thanks

Happy new year 🎉

Nice tips 🤝🏻

You have done really well and it's through hard work and persistence. I'm probably different in that. I don't want to be a full-time photographer. I would lose the passion. I'm more of an artist than I am a photographer. I look at the camera as a set of paintbrushes, not necessarily technical and electronic devices like mini photographers do and I know I would lose my passion for it if I was full-time, but I quite enjoy my journey and I think everyone's journey is different. I don't think many people actually want to be full-time photographers any more. I talk to a lot of people in my area and also in the state of Western Australia which is a big state by the way it's almost half the size of America to give you some perspective on how big it is. Most of them don't want to be full-time photographers for the same reason I'm talking about they lose their passion for creating. I think it takes a special kind of person to enjoy their art still and do it full-time so all credit to you.

I know what you mean. I am actually working on myself to get better and get more jobs. Its really a slow process but I think its worth it

Looks like you had lots of fun… two swigs of beer and you are definitely cutting loose..!! All the best for 2025!!

Hey I relate because I too had to deliver food for Uber eats just so I could be able to afford rent the dream is real 📸❤️ thanks for sharing

my support

As I always say when there is a why C1 and not Lr is, lower the price on par Lr and maybe C1 succeds. In the meantime, Lr is unbeatable and with photoshop included!!

@14:55 I helped build that house!!!

Great story and very important for a lot of people to hear ! Happy new year :)

What a beautiful video to watch on the last day of the year ❤

Great rant. The gear has gotten so good, and in fact has always been good it needs to about the output more than the input nowadays. The gear that matters to me is about the right tool, the inspiring tool, and the enjoyment that it will bring and shine through to the work.

So happy to have found your channel! This video had so many wonderful points, thank you for sharing this! This advice came across my feed when I needed it the most, im in the middle of big life transition to a new city and this is my moment!

Thanks for the motivation! What did you go to school for?

Hey I am also in Victoria, I have been watching as much of your content as possible and trying to be as much of a sponge as I can to learn as much as is physically capable. I'm stuck where I am, and I'm looking for my way out to live the dream in photography and continue to build my skills all while still having to work my previous job to provide for my family. You are a true inspiration, and I'm so glad there is someone here where I live who I can learn from but also gives great advise to glean off of! First shoot of 2025 i would love to do an engagement shoot, or an expecting shoot.

Super personable, relatable, and approachable man! Really like it. I currently live in Victoria and it’s an awesome community to surround yourself with if you’re getting feet on the ground. I’ll soon find myself in the same situation as I’m moving to Squamish to do more film/photo stuff there and Vancouver Cheers 🍻 Happy New Year

Realy like your content. It,s kinda similiar of the youtube channel tin house studio. But a tad bit different

I started shooting on a D3200. I upgraded to an A7II, but refuse to upgrade because my best pictures are still on that D3200 because I mastered that camera and had better stories to tell. My a7ii does take sharper images, but they're not better, just cleaner.

First shoot of 2025 is comming in a week. Something that i love so mutch that i do it even if it is on the week end of my hollyday break!

I actually have my first shoot of 2025 scheduled already 😀 It’s my first beauty test shoot! I’m building a portfolio for beauty and skincare work, so it’s quite relevant. It will be shoot 2/4 this week which is madness haha. And I also just signed for studio space for January for client work. So - 🤞 but I’m rather pumped about it all!

It's so cool seeing someone who lives in my home town giving out amazing advice all the fucking time. I really appreciate your videos. Once this photography shit works out I'm gonna come back and thank you

Currently at my lowest point, this is encouraging, thank you

I want my first photo session of 2025 to be with the Houston Rockets organization

Thank you for sharing this! I’m currently in a similar situation to what you experienced, and your insights are really helping me make a decision.

Thanks to share it.

I think this might hold a record for the least amount of cuts in one of my videos.

Thanks for this video mate! This was the "kick in the butt" I needed at the end of the year to make some changes for next year! 😄

"Bad" camera is a loose term. "Basic" camera would be better but unpopular term. Basic is as basic as it gets the job done. But "Bad"? How much degree of "Badness" it could be? For me, a Bad camera is a camera with technical problems. i.e. Camera with faulty memory slot, camera which shuts off in the middle of a job,, camera which fails to detect wireless flash.

Nice vid. Most of the time a poor image could have been saved with more experience or skill not better gear. ... at least,thats my experience. Sometimes however, better gear can compensate for ones lack of skill (if thats a good thing ?) and sometimes specific gear is needed for specific scenartios.😊

This is peak TH-cam Photography!

While I agree, that what you use doesn't matter, but after being in a gallery with other mix media artists I truly wish there wasn't a stigma about the camera brand or model we shoot with. I love that other artists can say blah type of paint, blah type of clay. When you hang up a photo in a gallery, you can talk about type of photography and type of paper... but man I think its cool that this person got this shot with a d200 with a fisheye or whatever lol. If we didn't think this is better than that, it could open us up to accepting the challenges of our art when using certain gear. I think gear listing and understanding what tools they used to make it is sooooo cool lol. but instead we hate on gear and act like its bad 2 years later.

This ended up being way more fun to make than I anticipated. Thanks for the feedback! Now...who should I rank next? 🤔

Oh, man this is fresh! I love this type of humor. The visual vibe too.

As a photojournalism student at a really good journalism school, I can confirm

Ha. I am a double “s”. TH-cam is my only friend. Sub.

As a birding photographer - definitely the loneliest. I do it as an escape and a way of dealing with my depression. It’s nice to be out in nature and mindful and stuff. It’s also a huge time sink.

This video is how you do a tier list - choose bizarre icons for it so the viewer can't just skip to the end

You should do stand-ups 😊! This video is so much fun!

Lol, Dang it Sergio you are clearly the loneliest. Just give me a video camera, a mike and a sour beer and I'm good. Cheers🙏

Your mic stand is peak. I love it 😂

Damn… how many beers did you have before filming this?

Nobody wants to talk to you on weddings besides casual conversation 'cause you're just the staff. Would rate that way up higher :D

Your vibe is a vibe, fun video

Here's me being a Photojournalist, weirdly happy to be in the S Tier You really need a certain heart and madness to be one; you are so interested in the world and how people respond to the world - it heightens your perspective on people simply by witnessing the best and the worst in people on a daily basis. It's wonderful life but also a stressful life - and I'm only scratching the surface of it.

currently using a canon eos 350D. just started photography and its 8 megapixels hasn't disappointed me yet.

thank you for not shilling like everyone else on camera TH-cam

You were drunk before you ever drank that beer 😁 I subbed to you at 2k subs or something. First time comment. I always try to give you a thumbs up for the TH-cam algorithm.
