I’m glad you liked it!

Thanks, welcome to the team

Ah good to know! Thank you for mentioning it

thank you so much for the kind feedback. I use the fuji xt4 most for paid work and for filming TH-cam videos currently, but plan on making a new project with the Pentax 67 which is on second place at the moment... then third the Minolta. My favorite film stocks are Portra 400 and Ilford hp5. which are yours?

@@katjafeldmeier 🙂. Ilford XP2. Fuji C200. Fomapan 200. I think I had a similar model Minolta at one point. Enjoyable camera. Loved the viewfinder and color output. Where do you shop? Do you do thrift shops or EBay? Definitely would NOT consider the Pentax due to size. How do you carry that thing around? Are the lenses expensive?

haha, I feel what you are saying, though my collection is pretty small, I think. But I only started in 2019...back then I believed I would only have one camera...woops

@@katjafeldmeier 😂

What kind of video would you like about the Pentax? Can you specify?

@@katjafeldmeier Show operation, example photos, focal lengths.

I think my reasons were the same as a lot of peoples: the reputation of the uni and the degree. But I was also 17 years old when I applied. What does one know about anything at 17? Did you know what you wanted? I mean, why do people get married and then get divorced? I’m sure everybody gets married with the best intentions and then things don’t work out as expected ;)

It was just one photo per slide. The info like my cv was in a separate pdf. But that was for my application, so it was specific to that.

@@katjafeldmeier thank you! You are so great! And did you maintain the horizontal format of a PowerPoint or were some vertical slides?

This was my personal experience as a student from a different country coming to the UK. Maybe you had a different experience, which doesn’t disqualify mine. Not every country or uni is as classist… As to the question of "what did you expect?" - not sure I knew what to expect as a 17 year old 🤔 And that’s exactly why I’m sharing my experience so that others can make up their own mind hearing diverse opinions. Take care

Thank you for watching and sticking around. Let me know if there are any topics you would like me to cover in the future

yeah, could be true for sure.

Thank you for watching! Let me know if there are any other topics that would interest you, Matthew. 🙂

Yeah I think so woops 😅

True. It was hard at 19/20 years to know that

I'm glad you like them, thanks for commenting and letting me know. Always appreciate it. Are you trying to grow your channel on TH-cam or just doing the videos for other purposes?

@@katjafeldmeier I'm trying to grow my channel, and I've done reasonably well to start. But I've got a long way to go.... My #shorts are meant as B-roll, for future videos, and also to initially learn photogrammetry. About 80% of my #shorts viewers don't speak English so I translate the video descriptions into 100 languages. But I need to focus more on narrated longer videos to develop an English-speaking audience. That will improve watch time and potential future sales for online classes. But I am considering some professional photogrammetry in the future too.

I like Ali Abdaal, Think Media, Film Booth and Colin & Samir for TH-cam strategy and how to improve videos. Maybe you will like some of them too. Good luck

@@katjafeldmeier Thx very much. I'm a member of Think Media, Primal Video, and I watch Film Booth. I'll check the others you suggest. Much appreciated! Best wishes to you!

It's my pleasure. I'm planning to make an updated video soon with my professional portfolio I currently use. Would that also be interesting to watch?

Yes, absolutely 😊😊

Definitely speaking of the Ai standards of today, you are right. I think it’s an interesting discussion to have right now and to think through, but of course we all don’t have a 🔮 Thank you for the points you are making.

@@katjafeldmeier Exactly, we don't have a crystal ball. Let's just hope for the best 😅

Good points, thank you. I talk about those and a couple more in my photography side hustle video in case you are interested : th-cam.com/video/0wGqQboHbVg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UcqaYIaOEXwxGOgB

@@katjafeldmeier TH-cam just fed me this video of yours for the first time today. I haven’t had a chance to look through your other films. Thanks for the link!

Ah cool, Im so happy it’s useful. And keep in mind that criteria can be different from school to school, this was just my experience with this particular school and application… Good luck for your applications and enjoy the process ❤️

@@katjafeldmeier the school i am gonna apply for by coincidence has the exact same admission procedure (20 photos portfolio + interview) so that's why your video was more helpful than others to me

Aww, thank you so much Janie for this lovely comment❤️. It’s so so motivating to hear, that these videos are actually helpful for somebody out there. I’m definitely planning to keep going ☺️ Are there any topics that would be particularly interesting in the future? I’m always looking for ideas from the community on here.

I’m not familiar with Springle‘s work yet. As for Collins, I admire her creativity and vision to evoke otherworldly narratives and alternate time lines. I don’t have her book, but I do love some of the images that I have seen from it.

@@katjafeldmeier thank u for the answer

Thanks a lot Don! Happy to make them 😊🙏

Thank you for watching and writing ❤️ I intend to share stuff on here that nobody shared with me and I wish more people knew about.

Yes, you mean public universities right? Here is a full list: www.dgph.de/foto-studium Some of them are public, some private.

@@katjafeldmeier it cost money?? I mean any free university?

Thank you. That’s so sweet of you. Any advice on how you keep up consistency? This is my biggest hurdle at the moment…

@@katjafeldmeier wow great question, in all honesty what I think helped me out was picking a niche that I was/am passionate about and just simply love. Views and subscribers fluctuates but when you're passionate about what you love, the rest almost seems to not matter as much because at the end of the day, your happiness is worth so much more. That being said, consistency is hard but if you have a goal in mind, that helps. Good luck!

Good point!

Such good points you are making Jon! Thank you for sharing. I totally see the gig economy point you are making. I have a friend who subcontracted to shoot weddings and was neither able to edit her own work nor to use it for her portfolio. So now, she has tons of experience as a wedding photographer but no portfolio work to back it up. And great tipp with the business networking events. I really want to ride home the point for new photographers that their #1 job will be to have a strategy for how get clients! So thank you for sharing yours.

No worries. It's such an important issue, isn't it. How do we keep going, keep in the business and bring in new colleagues. Thank you for making me think about this@@katjafeldmeier

yes, 100% Such an important point you are making. Thank you for adding it. 🙏

Thanks for the feedback. I just tried it on headphones and you are right that it’s too prominent there. Maybe try listening without. Will work on better sound / less music next video ;)

@@katjafeldmeier your voice is just fine without the music. And, to be fair, I like your lighting, background and also the subject you are diving into, so all good besides the music. DOnt change to much miss ;-)

Quiet music, and you're just a bore.

I can recommend the PiB newsletter, and female photoclub runs a Berlin Stammtisch ;) thanks for you kind feedback about the channel 💖

Haha, yes

Thank you so much! I will ❤️

Thank you. Glad to share. It’s definitely a different experience as a PH.D. I believe. So do try and talk to some people who have done a PhD there. People will be a older / more mature in that program and it’s way more international than the BA program. Also you probably have way less set work or exams and can focus on your own thesis. If you are considering a Phd it already sounds to me like you are way more academic than I ever was. :) which field are you studying in?

@@katjafeldmeier I'm currently studying within the field of Political Science and History, very interesting majors
