    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

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

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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

    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!

    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 😊

  • @padraicomeara

  • @nohandle-01
    @nohandle-01 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

    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.

    @scottyharp 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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.

  • @obscur_yoann
    @obscur_yoann 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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.

  • @WimBals
    @WimBals 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    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.

  • @jillmayes139

    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!

    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 !

    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!

    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.

  • @carolinezaramati9193
    @carolinezaramati9193 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @danielevenanzi7975
    @danielevenanzi7975 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    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

  • @gnuhapi
    @gnuhapi 2 ปีที่แล้ว
