I think that's because it's always needed. For some reason I think most photographers frequently forget what it is we love about photography and videos like these reminds us all of just that.
I find it so amazing that so many of us "practitioners of photography" are talking about that meditative state we enter when we are working with our cameras, and it doesn't matter if is street photography,landscapes, portraiture, nature, abstract, and more...as long as we are flowing in that creative space we are so focused that all we can be is present in the moment. The power of now achieved with photography! ☀️
Yup. Watched and listened again... and will proclaim that I watched and listened anew... two things. One reason that I do not crap on TH-cam is for the educational/inspirational shorts stories, and the ability to rewatch them over and over and over again.
I can relate to this. My office job is exhausting, I'm often too tired to go out and shoot. However, I started walking to & from work last year. I take my camera with me. I change roots in which I commute. I've taken some of my favorite images. Even if you only have 5-10 mins, it can make all the difference. Also, his work is fantastic. He seems like a genuine, fantastic person. :-D
I can relate to what you just said. Looking back I often think I am in this kind of tunnel, get up, breakfast, go to work, work, go home in the evening, always the same route, same train etc.
Mo is a true street photographer, he lives in the moment. You can see it so clearly because he doesnt look at det LCD screen after taking a shot. Thank you Sean for sharing this talent, loved the video!
@@seantuck I didnt mean it so literal, I got nothing against people who view the LCD screen. I get why you want to look at the photo after taking it, and with the GRIII you have no choice to look at the screen. But I think there is something to say about a person who views the scene and or interacts with people after taking a shot, than losing attention to the screen. "true" street photographer and watching the LCD screen after taking a photo are'nt mutually exclusive I guess is what Im trying to say.
I plan time early every Sunday morning for street photography. I head into the city with a goal or a location in mind, and usually plan to arrive where I want to be an hour or two before sunrise, so I have the place to myself, to explore and think. It's renewed my love for photography, my emotional well-being and the product of that photographic work.
Sometimes I wonder whether it could be boring always visitting the same places as I do as a daily commuter and street photographer in Rostock/Germany. But no. Definitely not. Like TH-camr "Nick Exposed" once quoted, like visitting an old friend and listen what news he´s got to tell. And Mo just confirms that. Thank you for introducing to this great man.
Thank you Sean. You and Mo show that it is important to use the in between moments away from responsibilities to look around and capture interesting images. Why walk around looking at the sidewalks or the phone.
some people play golf, fish, shop over the weekend... i take photos. It's my me time and I find it really peaceful. observing how little moments unfold is very satisfying. great to know that other people feel the same. thank you. 😀
I firmly believe that if you're passionate about something, you'll MAKE time for that thing. I've just started street photography a few months ago but I already find myself going out during my lunch breaks to shoot, and then taking my lunch at my desk while I work. On my way home I choose to walk 30-40 minutes to a station 3 stops away, so that I can shoot night photos on my way home. I work a 9:30-6:30/7pm but doing this 2-3 times a week already equates to 4+ hours of shooting a week. For me shooting doesn't add to the drudge of the day, its the one time during the day that gives me energy and life.
Thanks mate. The longer form, slower paced, more thoughtful stuff isn’t for everyone:) I just try and make videos I would want to watch, and I’m grateful that 341k people agree:)
Very insightful peice. He hits most of the points that many creative photographers deal with. Although, I have to say, he's really not busy busy. He's mildly busy. Imagine having 4 jobs, working 7 days per week, each job being 30-50 km between each other and no public transportation. Then another 40 km to get home, just to spend 30 minutes with your loved ones before going to bed, getting up in the very early AM just to it all over again. THAT is busy.
spot on! been shooting with a 16-35mm for street for the past 6 months and recently changed to a 50mm. changing the lens really makes you feel alive again. great video :)
This topic speaks to me so much, I moved in London about 9 months ago, though seems like yesterday to me. I spend so much time on my dayjob just to pay the rent and bills, London rhythms are so crazy. At some point i felt like my photography and my youtube channel are moving on slow motion and I was afraid they ll get left behind at some point. However I still go out on my days off and slowly work on my footage on my limited free time and that makes post process look so precious and magical, 'cause I don't possibly have the luxury of time to spend on it as I used to do. I am SO looking forward to be part of this initiative, this community! sounds brilliant indeed!
I say it EVERY TIME: You are so inspiring and capture the true nature of our human spirit...it's art reflected in a fleeting moment. Mo remembers his encounters from 5 years ago on a busy street. This tool that is a camera has so much power and potential. Thank you Mr. Tucker!!!
I just love Mo's fresh and enthusiastic approach to street photography! I wish I could be as bold as him, taking shots of people close by, without asking them first... I don't know, I would be just terrified of them chasing me with a knife lmao
This video serves as so much more than an encouragement to the audience to find time for their photography amidst their busy lives: it’s also a reminder that good photography requires thought. If you’re anything like me, it’s easy to forget that the photographers we look to as being great, producing awe-inspiring work, did not start that way. It’s not wholly a matter of talent, an inborn quality, or an eye gifted from the heavens (though, sometimes, that might help) that put their work to the level of quality that it’s at, but that practice, repetition, and, again, THOUGHT shaped who they are as photographers. I get defeated, going outside with the purpose of taking pictures, because my work never seems to stack up to this standard that I have myself, but then I never stop and wonder why. I expect that things will just work out, moments will present themselves to me, conditions will be in my favor, and I’ll take the shot. Candid photography, I suppose. That’s nice, but good photography requires so much more than waiting on the moment. Think about your work. Think about the message. Think about how the elements of lighting, color (or lack thereof), and composition play together. Think about everything. Then, when the candid, or decisive moments, come up, you’ll be all the more equipped. Anyway, thinking out loud here, I guess. As always, thank you, Sean. And, of course, thank you, Mr. Mo. This video has given me a lot to think about. I feel silly with myself for not realizing this stuff sooner.
I have the same kind of feeling with my approach to photography. The moment where you just submerge yourself into the world of street photography. Pure joy! 😁
I accidentally took a photo of Mo whilst out on the streets while he was shooting someone else. It turned out to be one of my favourites from that day!
I do bird photography and I relate to few of the things Mo talked about...when I’m out photographing I’m there in that moment..time slows down. And also when I look through my old photos I remember where I had taken them and how the birds were on that day at that area. Your videos are always so soothing to watch Sean.
I like way you express yourself and I like your photography. You seem extremely passionate and genuine and I think that's increasingly rare. I look forward to your next video
I loved your direct opening to this film. No prolog. Just an id and boom a direct cut to you talking. There is power and energy in that. Sam Fuller’s “Naked Kiss” begins in a similar way. Very different subject matter but same energy. Well done @seantucker
"React to the moment, react to my instinct" That hit sooo deep! Thank you Mo for sharing your experience, such an inspiration! Thank you Sean for featuring Mo!
It's the same for me. Not due my job but my family; I love them but I don't have time to dedicate to photography. And you gave the clues to enjoy photography: shooting from the heart, less thinking; looking for the lights and (when light is soft) looking for the situation and the moment. A great masterclass!! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing Mo's story. You've mentioned that you really enjoy making these 'featured photographer' videos. You do an amazing job at pacing their interviews and cutting in the cinematic b roll. I hope you keep making more. They're some of my favourite photography content on TH-cam.
Been there myself worked 1am to 8am then went to classes 9 to 1pm then had to moved my days off so I could take the required classes that were only offered at night. It was worth it for me, hope it works out for you.
Reviewing my images the other day has really shown me how one can be too busy to follow their creative path. And with that, I resigned. Following my passion is really more fulfilling and like Mo, this was my way of making time to create
Thanks, Sean, for yet another fantastic episode. Listening to Mo describe how photography slows one down in an otherwise busy life and how, no matter how long after making the shot, revisiting a photograph can take you back to the moment you took it, was so relatable. Please continue building this channel and I look forward to the zine.
Another great opportunity to know an interesting person who used simple words to let us know how we could enjoy our life, taking our time and doing what we love, breaking a stressful routine. Thanks for sharing, Sean.
Damn! Who knows how good I could have been If only I'd payed more attention at 12yrs old to the magazines on the middle shelf instead of the top shelf. 🤦♂️
This is why I started a Project 366 for this year, to force myself to find time each day to take a photo; not to post it right away but what's most important is to bring my camera out and shoot even for just about 5 - 10 minutes but there are days that it usually goes for an hour. It's very rare that I forget about the story behind each photo when I get the time to edit and to post it. Photography really does help keep me balanced.
Excellent words. Extremely inspiring to hear another Street Photographer making time for what they love to do. Makes me wish to live and work in a busy city such as London...
Me myself! Are in the same situation where have to work for long periods daily for 6 days a week. I'm only free on Sunday. Yes it a bit struggle to balance it out but. If you love to do it you will find the best way to focus your style of photography ❤️
Great Vid and Wise Words. "go out shooting", "quiet the mind" and "be open to what happens". He perfectly sums up the photography space I also try to sit in. Adopting this attitude, it does 'slow' you down and when it really works, when you are right there, the images almost make themselves, elements around you fall into place, you recognise the flow as it is happening. It is a beautiful feeling. It takes time to develop. It is about experience, and knowing your camera and spending time in the same environment; almost obsessively so. My personal take away from this video is to get in even closer. I don't do that enough. good timing on the lesson.
Great video. Thank you! When he talks about observing something unfolding and not shooting, I think it is totally fine. We don't need to shoot everything; and the fact that we are observing something is same as shooting, we are just not registering it with the camera. After I started shooting, I became more present and aware of my surroundings :)
Thanks Sean, aside from Mo's openness and his incredible sense of what he's trying to capture, I am left with a lot to reflect upon. Awesome addition to my day.
Waiting for the "picture to reveal itself" is such a perfect way to describe it. I haven't been blessed with too many amazing shots but the one's I love the most are the ones where I didn't try to think about it... reminds me of Bagger Vance's guidance to Rannulph Junuh to "let the swing find you". So much wisdom in this video!
Very interesting topic and beautiful video, I was nodding quite a few times while hearing Mo speaking. Sometimes it looks like everyone out there spends hours out on the streets every day, which for most of us is not true. I have been struggling with lack of time myself for the last few months and I am also taking time at least one day in the week to go out and take photographs. Glad to see one can still progress and create a great body of work with consistency and using the time that one's got.
Amazing video! Just recently I saw great light in the area around my office. So I just grabbed my camera a ran out to take a few shots. Mo’s work is truly outstanding. Thank you, Sean.
Sean, another outstanding video. As a topic a father of two boys heavily involved in athletics I can relate to the feeling like I have virtually "no time" to shoot. My solution, I get up just an half hour earlier everyday and it has breathed new life into my photography. Great topics and rock solid production keep me hooked, keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for introducing me and others to these wonderful photographers keep going and introduce more of them to us Sean it has inspired me to take a fresh look at my photography each time and try something different.
It is like you read my mind with the commentary on product photography. It is especially relevant today with social media commentators all espousing the importance of consistency. Consistency is important, but if you become, "too consistent." You run the very high risk of creating visual fatigue. It is like eating the same flavour over and over. This is essentially what starts the burn out process.
This is amazing. I can easily relate to this. With my busy work and personal life, the "real" street photography chance only came when I have to travel out from the city or when I have to attend a meeting somewhere in the city or in the next city. I like to squeeze as much time to do street photography to the point that I often deliberately take 3-4 hours of travel from my home to my destination by jam-packed train, in order to get as many photo as possible. Although if I just drive my car, it will only take an hour or so to reach that destination. Also, bringing a camera in my everyday backpack does gives me more opportunity to shoot on the street while commuting to and from work.
A beautiful video and you can see that Mo is a great person. The music, the edition, the words of him, his way of seeing photography, all that together, reached my soul. As Mo said, "I am proud to be a street photographer" or at least try to be. By the way, the frame in the min 19 is excellent, I loved that contrast. Great job, you and Mo touched my soul with this video. You have encouraged me to keep chasing my dreams and keep practicing. God bless you! Greetings from Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico.
Hi Jorge! Thank you for the kind message back. I am delighted to hear your feedback. You live in a very beautiful place with amazing light. Chase your dreams indeed and may the light be with you my friend.
@@mbarzegar99 Thank you for inspiring others to follow their dreams. I'm relatively new to photography, but your words in this video lit a spark in me somehow. I thank God for finding you in this video at this precise moment in my life, it has helped me a lot in many ways. Keep inspiring and loving and I promise you that I will continue to pursue my dreams. Greetings my brother.
I took up photography 6 months ago. At the time, I was making decent money but I couldn't do what I love most, drawing, because of the busy life I had. I was very depressed about it, going through a mundane routine. Drawing has always been making me happy, but I needed to make ends meet. I felt like I left a great part of me behind for this "adult life". So I thought "How about I buy a camera? Make another kind of arts?". I bought an old X-T1 and a kit lens and just started taking street photos on my way to and back from work. Now, 6 months later, I feel (and truly feel) that my life is more optimistic because my eyes are always looking around, finding beautiful things even in the most mundane aspect of my life. I even used many of my photos as references to draw when I can find the time every few months or so to hold a pencil and sketch something.
I don’t know how you do that, but you always address issues which worry me in the moment. Do you read in my thoughts? 😊 Very interesting video. Mo has a way to “speak to my soul”. Very encouraging. Thank you for sharing.
What an interesting and inspiring personality! Thanks, Mo, for sharing your photos as well as your thoughts on photography, integrating it into a busy life and thereby finding relief and joy. I myself really enjoy to take a random walk and to take photos. It’s a kind of moving meditation expressed in photos. Thank you so much, Mo and Sean😉✌️👋!
I am really enjoying this interview series. I started with street photography in the same way you and Mo started. Taking shots as I go to and from work. As I’ve learned over the last year, your videos were a huge inspiration. I started with a mindset that maybe I should strive to make a living doing photography, but have recently found that I enjoy photography because it is an escape from work. A chance to slow down and actually be present. Keep up the great work, Sean. I’d love to see similar videos where you are on location with other photographers discussing what they see and look for as they make photographs.
Absolutely adore Mo's work, been following him for a while, always nice to have insight into the personality behind the camera. Also great motivation for my self to stop making excuses. Great work as usual Sean.
"Street fotography slows down time - I'm no longer looking to get to my destination, the journey is the destination". Word!
Yes! I often say photography is the ultimate mindfulness practice

The takeaway from your videos always seem right on time. It's like your message is always just what I needed to hear. Well done, as always.

Agree Jen:) A camera in hand on your commute is a great way to get some shots:)
@@1977swampy Exactly.
@@seantuck Some of my friends stated they've noticed an improvement in my work, which is encouraging, but I still have a long ways to go lol. ^_^

Adopting this attitude, it does 'slow' you down and when it really works, when you are right there, the images almost make themselves, elements around you fall into place, you recognise the flow as it is happening. It is a beautiful feeling. It takes time to develop. It is about experience, and knowing your camera and spending time in the same environment; almost obsessively so. My personal take away from this video is to get in even closer. I don't do that enough. good timing on the lesson.
Thanks Sean, yet another great video. It's given my the kick up the proverbial to get back out there.
Another well put together story Sean give us more please mate!
.
Fantastic piece. Great video, great guy. Thanks for sharing his story.
Great video. Thank you! When he talks about observing something unfolding and not shooting, I think it is totally fine. We don't need to shoot everything; and the fact that we are observing something is same as shooting, we are just not registering it with the camera. After I started shooting, I became more present and aware of my surroundings :)
Ur videos r inspirational too. background music , the way u taken the shot..it’s just beautiful..keep up the good work
Amazing video. Much needed.
What an interesting and genuine man. Mo speaks well and clearly. Incredibly interesting and informative.
Thanks Sean, aside from Mo's openness and his incredible sense of what he's trying to capture, I am left with a lot to reflect upon. Awesome addition to my day.
Thanks to you and Mo for the inspiration.
Inspiring !! Thank you so much for such a great video Sean!
Waiting for the "picture to reveal itself" is such a perfect way to describe it. I haven't been blessed with too many amazing shots but the one's I love the most are the ones where I didn't try to think about it... reminds me of Bagger Vance's guidance to Rannulph Junuh to "let the swing find you". So much wisdom in this video!
Photographer's like Mo make me wonder if there's a street photo of myself out there making me look interesting. Great video, Sean!
You have done it again. Great content, great video Sean. So glad I became a member.
Thanks for your support my friend.
Mo’s work is awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Very interesting topic and beautiful video, I was nodding quite a few times while hearing Mo speaking. Sometimes it looks like everyone out there spends hours out on the streets every day, which for most of us is not true. I have been struggling with lack of time myself for the last few months and I am also taking time at least one day in the week to go out and take photographs. Glad to see one can still progress and create a great body of work with consistency and using the time that one's got.
Such a nice Video.
Thank you Sean to always give us more than we expect on TH-cam.
And Mo is really inspiring.
Another beautiful and informative video! I learned so much about photography and life from each of your videos. Thank you 🙏
What a very fine person and photographer. Many thanks for sharing his work Sean.
Amazing video! Just recently I saw great light in the area around my office. So I just grabbed my camera a ran out to take a few shots. Mo’s work is truly outstanding. Thank you, Sean.
Sean, another outstanding video. As a topic a father of two boys heavily involved in athletics I can relate to the feeling like I have virtually "no time" to shoot. My solution, I get up just an half hour earlier everyday and it has breathed new life into my photography.
Great topics and rock solid production keep me hooked, keep up the great work!
Sounds like a good solution to me. Just a little bit every now and again, soon mounts up to a good crop of shots.
Thank you so much for introducing me and others to these wonderful photographers keep going and introduce more of them to us Sean it has inspired me to take a fresh look at my photography each time and try something different.
It is like you read my mind with the commentary on product photography. It is especially relevant today with social media commentators all espousing the importance of consistency. Consistency is important, but if you become, "too consistent." You run the very high risk of creating visual fatigue. It is like eating the same flavour over and over. This is essentially what starts the burn out process.
This is amazing.
I can easily relate to this.
With my busy work and personal life, the "real" street photography chance only came when I have to travel out from the city or when I have to attend a meeting somewhere in the city or in the next city. I like to squeeze as much time to do street photography to the point that I often deliberately take 3-4 hours of travel from my home to my destination by jam-packed train, in order to get as many photo as possible. Although if I just drive my car, it will only take an hour or so to reach that destination.
Also, bringing a camera in my everyday backpack does gives me more opportunity to shoot on the street while commuting to and from work.
A beautiful video and you can see that Mo is a great person. The music, the edition, the words of him, his way of seeing photography, all that together, reached my soul. As Mo said, "I am proud to be a street photographer" or at least try to be. By the way, the frame in the min 19 is excellent, I loved that contrast. Great job, you and Mo touched my soul with this video. You have encouraged me to keep chasing my dreams and keep practicing. God bless you! Greetings from Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico.
Hi Jorge! Thank you for the kind message back. I am delighted to hear your feedback. You live in a very beautiful place with amazing light. Chase your dreams indeed and may the light be with you my friend.
@@mbarzegar99 Thank you for inspiring others to follow their dreams. I'm relatively new to photography, but your words in this video lit a spark in me somehow. I thank God for finding you in this video at this precise moment in my life, it has helped me a lot in many ways. Keep inspiring and loving and I promise you that I will continue to pursue my dreams. Greetings my brother.
Thanks Sean Tucker..always interesting..& thanks for introducing us to Mo Barzegar.
Wonderful video and great insights. Love this series.
I took up photography 6 months ago. At the time, I was making decent money but I couldn't do what I love most, drawing, because of the busy life I had. I was very depressed about it, going through a mundane routine. Drawing has always been making me happy, but I needed to make ends meet. I felt like I left a great part of me behind for this "adult life".
So I thought "How about I buy a camera? Make another kind of arts?". I bought an old X-T1 and a kit lens and just started taking street photos on my way to and back from work.
Now, 6 months later, I feel (and truly feel) that my life is more optimistic because my eyes are always looking around, finding beautiful things even in the most mundane aspect of my life. I even used many of my photos as references to draw when I can find the time every few months or so to hold a pencil and sketch something.
Really enjoyed this first of a kind video for me. This is the third video I'm wathching of this channel while doing the dishes and it feels like home.
I don’t know how you do that, but you always address issues which worry me in the moment. Do you read in my thoughts? 😊 Very interesting video. Mo has a way to “speak to my soul”. Very encouraging. Thank you for sharing.
Extremely interesting and beautiful works, clearly he likes hats on people and the mystery they bass to a subject.
What an interesting and inspiring personality! Thanks, Mo, for sharing your photos as well as your thoughts on photography, integrating it into a busy life and thereby finding relief and joy. I myself really enjoy to take a random walk and to take photos. It’s a kind of moving meditation expressed in photos. Thank you so much, Mo and Sean😉✌️👋!
Amazing work Sean ! thank you for sharing other pasionate people vision about photography.
I am really enjoying this interview series. I started with street photography in the same way you and Mo started. Taking shots as I go to and from work. As I’ve learned over the last year, your videos were a huge inspiration. I started with a mindset that maybe I should strive to make a living doing photography, but have recently found that I enjoy photography because it is an escape from work. A chance to slow down and actually be present. Keep up the great work, Sean. I’d love to see similar videos where you are on location with other photographers discussing what they see and look for as they make photographs.
I can relate so much with everything he said about street photography!
Absolutely adore Mo's work, been following him for a while, always nice to have insight into the personality behind the camera. Also great motivation for my self to stop making excuses. Great work as usual Sean.
Beautiful work, inspiring life story. Special people do special things. Enjoy the journey.
Excellent video! His excitement, passion and modifications to his approaches over time are very impressive.
Great Stuff. His clarity of thought and communication is exceptional
Thank you, Sean, very inspiring. It's great to find out about photographers I would never have discovered. Much appreciated.
Sean, you're doing such a wonderful job giving voices to the unknown. I really appreciate what you'r doing. Keep going.
