Thanks so must to all of you who watch and subscribe! I know lots of you have been around for a long time and I really appreciate the support. 100k subscribers, madness! Here's the final image set too: www.jamespopsys.com/storytelling
Congrats James!! I'm really happy for you. I wish you many many more fans and followers. You're definitely the photographer whose videos I would recommend to anyone who's willing to learn about photography in a fun and enjoyable way.
Well done James, for hitting 6 figures and for producing such helpful and informative videos as this one. Also loved the sound snippet around 1:40 that harked back to the glory days of crap UK quiz shows. Had all the hallmarks of a Price is Right product showing session.
James, you, through your YT channel, taught me so much about photography in ways I wouldn't have even thought was possible, all the while having fun! Can't thank you enough! Congrats on 100K, I have no doubt that you'll go way above!
For info, My wife has little interest in photography yet she watches your channel alongside me with real enjoyment. It's not just the travel aspect she enjoys but the common sense approach to the art of photography. It's amazing. All these years I have tried to lead her into the light. She has also learned that I am not the only person with many camera bags and a pleading expression when a new lens is mooted. Congratulations on your channel.
“I’m going to eat Emily’s unbelievable flapjack”. Fnar fnar... Can’t believe you missed the opportunity to look down the lens and pause at that point. 😂 Congratulations on 100k James! Well deserved.
I’m so excited to channel the “about, not of” method on my next outing. Thank you for sharing. Been feeling a bit uninspired and uninterested by my own work lately-and I think it’s completely because I’ve defaulted to taking photos “of”
I loved the final product as well as your thought process on how to tell stories with pictures. Your distinction of "of" vs "about" is pretty eye-opening for me. I will say that on the final set, I felt like the train picture needed Emily in it, either trying to balance on the tracks pretty far down, or standing under the bridge looking out. All the other images had her in it, and without including it in this set, I wouldn't have been able to tell that the train track image was in the same general location. It is a great picture, but that's only one that felt more "of" than "about" to me.
@@JamesPopsysPhoto Do you mean, why they wear them? It's because flies on the eyes, where they can't swish them away with their tail, and flies crave that salty moistness around there.
Seriously, wished there was a love button. I thoroughly enjoyed this (as I have so many of yours), but enjoyed the different framework of thinking and curating images during and after a shoot. Thank you Emily for being such a great sport!
Congratulations on reaching the 100k mark! I have enjoyed your channel for almost 2 years now and I continue to learn from you. Please keep up the good work!
Another great video James and love the story telling set. Congrats on 100k too well deserved. We're relatively new to the channel but you have very quickly become one of our favourites 👍
Congratulations James on your latest TH-cam milestone! I can remember watching your New Zealand videos. Enjoying watching how you've developed your photography channel and of course your sense of humour 🤣. Nice seeing Emily too as she must be a great supporter of your work! Thanks for your continued videos during lockdown. Have a nice weekend everyone.
James this was a wonderful video. And thank you for including your wife Emily as she completes your story... There’s another fellow on TH-cam that does Jeep videos which I’ve watched for a while. Recently he’s started including his wife, she has her own Jeep channel as well. Not surprisingly the content and quality of his videos has improved. Men need women in our lives to better ourselves.
What an incredibly useful and interesting video. Thanks so much for this James. I do love storytelling with my photography, and this will definitely help improve my work.
For years, I've heard folks say "tell a story with your photos", and didn't really know what they meant. Now I have a much better idea. Include elements of action, or at least elements that suggest action. The more elements like this, the better.
Thanks James, I learned a lot from this video, particularly about curating stories and including stories with stories. And of course congratulations on hitting 100K, what a huge achievement, well done.
I want to watch this whole video right now, but I discovered it at 5:43 AM, so I guess I’ll have to postpone for tomorrow. I always get really excited when I see a new video from you, as someone newish to photography, you’ve been a lifesaver!
I really appreciate this, James! I've been working on my storytelling in a photo and I think it's something that you do really well. I appreciate you showing your thought process on this
Another way to think about your central thesis (take a photo that's about something, not of something) is to shoot photos that a viewer will use to imagine their own story. Seeing or hearing someone else's story can be interesting. Imagining your own story is riveting. If your photo gets a viewer to invent their own story with your image, they're coming as close to stepping into it as is possible. Ever since I first heard you articulate the idea of composing pictures that are ABOUT something, I've found that asking myself whether a viewer will find their own stories in my images gives me new ways to think not only about how I'm composing a shot, but also what I do with it in post.
Good video mate , as only a hobby/novice camera boy , looking at pics from the story telling side , this has never really been a thing in my happy snap process , as others posted , my pics have always been " pictures of " , You have given me something to work on and do better (hopefully :) ). Thank you .
Just love the ideas and narratives you add. So descriptive with your thoughts really helps identify the important messages about you photography and hiw to use it to tell stories. Thank you! 😊
I'm first! How sad am I James ... Love the story telling images. I can't go out and shoot ONE iconic shot, no matter how good it is. I want my money's worth for the effort to get out there. Your photographs have a certain "feel" to them, difficult to describe to anyone else. When I can manage to put my thoughts into words, I'll let you know. Thanks James and Emily.
Putting some thought in your photography is so much more fun than doing Postcards...telling stories is what it's all about! Congrats on 100K well deserved! 👍💪
I enjoyed that photo series, it really beats down on the fact that you don't need to be traveling the world or somewhere far from home to be telling a story.
I love the story. In the video you showed three photos of Emily blowing the dandelion. I liked the story they told as a set - first one with an almost complete dandelion, the second more or less half a dandelion and third almost empty dandelion. They show a sequence of events, perhaps display them side by side in order? Anyway, thanks for your videos - love them!
There must be a LUMIX mental connection because all I’ve been thinking these past few days is that I need to have my photos tell a story. Great video James, thanks for the tips.
...Although seeing Superman fly past might prompt one to abandon the trip story project altogether and give priority to the Superman documentary picture... I just love this channel :)
I like your videos but this may be one of my favorites. This is something I have really been thinking on lately and story telling is something I really need to work on. Thanks and keep it up. Have fun in Scotland!
Congratulations on reaching 100k! Well deserved! It's really good seeing your thought process around the types of images you look for when making your story set and then the feedback you gave on why some images were more successful than others and things that would have made them better was perfect. This video will go into my favorites.
When "telling stories" through images, I've never considered a series of photos. Up until this video, I always treated the term "tells the story" as a buzz word that was overused in youtube videos... alongside "moody", but I've definitely looked at photos as "this is a photo of XYZ" rather than "this is a photo about XYZ". I think Instagram has conditioned me in a way to review photos on their individual merit as I prefer to see my photos laid out in the grid view, and so I haven't been able to view a single photo on an emotional level... so the term "telling stories" up until now has fallen on deaf ears for me. Great video and thanks for opening up new avenues for me in my photography journey.
I mean, disappointed that I didn't win, but the photos that did win are very nice! Congratulations to all the winners! 🙌 And storytelling is something I need to work on myself. Good video, James!
Cannot believe you don't remember what you were both looking at, think it must have been Superman flying overhead. Great video, by the way, mainly because this is how I use my photos. I don't sell them,just to remember the day. Good luck with the toe.
My favorite video so far! Been following for a while and really love your videos. This was amazing and really helpful and inspiring. Thank you so much!
I don't think many of my pictures would tell much of a story to anyone other than me but maybe I can use some of your tips here to change that. Thank you. I was so excited by the fact that you included Emily and 🐑 in the video and pictures that I purchased a few absolutely nothings. My supply of them was running low anyway.
Congrats on 100k James! Congrats to the winners too. Seeing the Luminar creations was interesting. Trying it out was a fun experience outside my normal routine.
Out of the five picked for the contest, I saw four of them. And out of those, I pick three of them that James did as well. Maybe I’m watching too much of James’ videos. I’ve been using Luminar for quite awhile. I hope to see James use it some more. Not into paying a monthly fee for editing software or something way over my head to use.
As much as you say the light wasn't good for these, I generally _prefer_ hard sunlight, both when I'm taking shots and when I look at them. It usually looks just fine to me, and I feel like someone who prefers otherwise still being able to make a shot in their less-than-ideal light work is a sign of how good they are. And your low contrast style makes the photos a bit dream-like, just without the haze.
For this type of content, can you please explain your audio setup/setups? Its surprisingly hard to find good information on audio options for doing this type of video. Which while it works perfect for you and your channel, is basically what anyone would need for home video as well. It would be super helpful. Thanks!
Well done on the 100k subscribers James, and thanks for your book which arrived this week. I think the new format you have gone for with volume 2 works well.
I particularly appreciate the hidden story within the video where Superman saves the World from a comet so animals and people develop a greater appreciation for one another as a result.
I too recently had a bbq and foot mishap. Tipping white hot coals (600+deg C) into the bbq, had some stray coals land on the ground, stepped on one of them without shoes (i'm Australian, we do everything bare foot lol). Instant regret. Moral of the story is good footwear is paramount. This has nothing to do with photography, but while people are spending lots of time at home you still gotta be safe folks.
Love your videos, I think watched almost everyone and congratulations to 100,000 subscribers! Luminar is a really cool program, has luminar 3 and will be upgrading eventually. Thanks again for your videos and tips. 🙂
Hey James! Your bracketing tip really does make huge difference. I shoot mostly in aperture priority and set my iso limit around 400. It guarantees me a good image every time
Thanks James a great info video, very useful. I like your comment on harsh light. If that was as harsh as we got in Australia I would be very happy. The difference in lighting is amazing. Hope the toe is ok.
Congratulations on 100K. This brilliant video shows exactly why you deserve it. Sorry about the toe. You are very brave risking a long walk with that injury. Actually you could photograph it and sell the image via a stock photography agency, if you had the time and patience to do so, for the poor returns on stock photography these days. There is always a demand for medical/injury type stuff and a lot less competition than for landscape photos. And hello to Emily.
I guess they do the same thing in the UK but here in the US, making little books called "zines" are very popular. When I saw your shots, that is what hit me. A series like that in a 20 page or so zine, would cost you $10-$15 dollars here and is a great way to showcase photos as a story. You can add text or not. They also make great remembrances for your kids or your 50th anniversary.
Good thought provoking video. Received your book yesterday, so spent a relaxing hour this afternoon thumbing through and travelling in your footsteps. Great little album of shots and memories. I hope you'll have enough material this year to produce another one next year.
Hi James. Enjoyed this one. My photography is primarily about documenting my activity, so I can relate to this a lot and I picked up a couple of useful tips. Enjoying your new book. 🙂
Thanks so must to all of you who watch and subscribe! I know lots of you have been around for a long time and I really appreciate the support. 100k subscribers, madness!
Here's the final image set too: www.jamespopsys.com/storytelling
great video as always and great photos, i didnt win but i have purchased the luminar as its a handy tool every now and then
Congrats James!! I'm really happy for you. I wish you many many more fans and followers. You're definitely the photographer whose videos I would recommend to anyone who's willing to learn about photography in a fun and enjoyable way.

Much appreciated Nigel! :)

"This video is sponsored by Lumi-" : Here we go again...
"Luminar 4!" : Oh...
haha! Gotcha! :)
I’m not a complicated man. I see Emily and I click.
It’s been a while I was not disappointed you two were in fine form here! Congrats on the 100k 🎉
Cheers Ben :)
"I'll shut up before I'm in trouble". I'm willing to bet that was too late.
Correct! :)
I’m so excited to channel the “about, not of” method on my next outing. Thank you for sharing. Been feeling a bit uninspired and uninterested by my own work lately-and I think it’s completely because I’ve defaulted to taking photos “of”
Congrats on 100.000 James and congrats to all the winners. Great work!
Cheers Stefan!
As a photographer and dental student - I always love his references to Dentistry and cavities.

16:19 the composition of the river crossing shot is phenomenal!
Thanks so much :)
Particularly impressed by the horse's Mexican Wrestling mask
Haha, no idea what that was about... :)
@@JamesPopsysPhoto Nachoooooooooooo!
@@JamesPopsysPhoto Do you mean, why they wear them? It's because flies on the eyes, where they can't swish them away with their tail, and flies crave that salty moistness around there.
@@JROwensPhotos -- that's a good explanation. I thought the owner was protecting the horse's skin from the "harsh" sunlight... 😉🐴 or Corvid 😷
You have serious talent to make direct sunlight look good!
Seriously, wished there was a love button. I thoroughly enjoyed this (as I have so many of yours), but enjoyed the different framework of thinking and curating images during and after a shoot. Thank you Emily for being such a great sport!
Thanks Angela, and she is a great sport :)

Thanks Carl :)
"Relaxing music ?? "
Really ?!! I was watching this in my shed and it felt like I was trapped in a lift.
Haha!
Lol
What an incredibly useful and interesting video. Thanks so much for this James. I do love storytelling with my photography, and this will definitely help improve my work.
Thanks Paula, great to hear! :)

Thanks buddy! Hope to catch up soon! Miss ya :)
Congratulations on 100k James - amazing achievement and very well deserved!!
Thanks Neil :)
One of my fave videos of yours and super helpful for a beginner like me
Cool video, good to see you working with Emily. My take away from this is not to take pictures of ants that are social distancing.
Correct! Cheers Billy :)

Congrats on 100k - well deserved tbh. Great to see you're not divorced!
Another good video on self-curation too. Another thumbs up!
YT is definitely very difficult with a spouse and children.
Cheers Ian, so far so good! :)
Congrats to 100k!

Thanks Keith :)
Great as always. Your book arrived, thanks, it's great
Thanks so much :)
The different types of framing certainly comes from filmmaking. Establishing shot (really wide), wide shot and close up.
Thanks for the video, also luminar is great. Maybe not as your only editing tool, but definitely as one in the tool box.
Congrats to all winners and you achieving 100k
Thanks so much :)
Congrats on 100k James! Congrats to the winners too.
Seeing the Luminar creations was interesting. Trying it out was a fun experience outside my normal routine.

Thanks for watching :)
Loved this video Jimmy! Great to see Em back on the bid screen too!
I too recently had a bbq and foot mishap. Tipping white hot coals (600+deg C) into the bbq, had some stray coals land on the ground, stepped on one of them without shoes (i'm Australian, we do everything bare foot lol).
Instant regret.
Moral of the story is good footwear is paramount. This has nothing to do with photography, but while people are spending lots of time at home you still gotta be safe folks.
ahhhh! Rough - and yep I'm on proper shoes from now on!

Awesome to hear mate :)
I'm not sure if I'm here for the great tutorial or one of the best dry sense of humours on the planet, but I'm here! Great as always James!
Much appreciated Jim, either way :)
Thanks James a great info video, very useful. I like your comment on harsh light. If that was as harsh as we got in Australia I would be very happy. The difference in lighting is amazing. Hope the toe is ok.
Thanks Donald, I remember the eye-blazing Aussie light well from my time living in Sydney :)
OK first time to your channel and I just hit subscribe at 1:30 lol love it

Thanks mate, me too! Might be a little more home centric next year :)
Loving the humour
9:25 That‘s probably when you saw superman flying around...! 😉
Or Captain Britain?
Debby S-AbqNM You possibly missed the joke reference from the video.
very useful ideas and tips -- thank you.
I love the way you edit your images !! Also very good channel, currently binging every video !
Congratulations for the 100k! Well deserved 👍🏼

Hi James. Enjoyed this one. My photography is primarily about documenting my activity, so I can relate to this a lot and I picked up a couple of useful tips.
Enjoying your new book. 🙂
Cheers Kenny! Much appreciated :)
