One of the biggest hurdles of a photographer's career is deciding when they can stop saying they're a bartender for a living, and when they can start saying they're just a disappointment.
I am busy selling my equipments. The level of disrespect from clients nowadays doesn't sit right with me. As it was said in this video, "Low budget, high expectations" is true. We many times face dozens of complains from clients of low budgets with unrealistic expectations.
@@craftmaster300 Oh, I'm gonna buy it. Currently, I only have a Sigma 56mm f/1.4 (sony a6400, so 85mm equivalent) and the two kit lenses that came with my camera. I'm not a fan of my kit lenses, and want something more versatile, so I'm looking at the Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8.
@@Tom-101that or tell people how to be better photographers. Nobody gives a shit about wildlife or landscape photography now that there's 8000 pictures of any mountain range on google. Personally I look at it as a (very) expensive hobby. Just looking at the cost of camera equipment is enough to dash most people's dreams of ever breaking even.
The pricing relationship is hilariously accurate. A lot of low-budget clients want to maximize their dollar, so they’ll ask for every discount, corner cut, and favor imaginable and give you hell when something is not meeting their expectations. Big budget clients have so much money to throw around that in many cases they don’t care. They hire and pay you to do the job so they literally don’t have to think about it. They don’t have time to micromanage you. There are obviously low budget clients with low budget expectations and high budget clients demanding the world of the product, but it’s impressive how many clients in the photo/video field have expectations inverse of their budget.
And it's for this reason you can also save a lot of stress by not underpricing yourself as a freelancer. Sure it's less commissions, but the clients are typically a lot nicer when you don't scrape the bottom of the barrel.
The accuracy is incredible on just about every point! My first "money sent. thank." blew my mind. I felt guilty making 2x week's pay on one gig. Afterwards, the company's CEO wanted to add some different furniture and "do the whole thing again" because she loved the photos and videos and wanted them to be perfect. And so I went out and did exactly the same thing again and got paid twice. Commercial work has been much more of a focus now!
Baller man haha. I wish I could get into this scene with my photography. Living near LA tho is rough cause everyone is a "photographer". Kinda just need to know someone who knows someone

As a freelancer, I have to say that freelancer paradox couldn't be more true. It boggles the mind how in many cases the more money they pay, the less demanding they are. The most demanding and obnoxious clients I ever had were low paid or worse yet, favors for (ex)friends...
Weirdly enough, volunteer jobs you do for free can go either direction. I've had gigs done as a favor where I could basically do anything I wanted because there was no money involved and therefore no expectations, and I've had volunteer gigs where I was basically a free worker and I was being told to either do stuff exactly as we want it or get the hell out.
Casually Explained is like a semi-absent father. Gone until we think he'll never come back, until he does to check how we're doing, and everything is great until he leaves again. Edit: I hate people who edit their comments
He has to come back to check on us because other dad Sam O’Nella went off to the store to buy some cigarettes and milk to feed a monkey and hasn’t returned
The part about the less money the higher the expectations is so true. First time I took a videography gig my client really pushed the limits of what he was getting for a few hundred bucks. Corporate clients are generally just trying to make as few choices as possible and pay you well in return. Pro-tip: if you work in the arts find people who have money.
This is true af. I also find the higher commercial clients are willing to pay, the less I’m stressed solely about how good the work is but about meeting deadlines and client specifications. Also sales and marketing are just as if not maybe a little more important than how “good” you are. You obviously do need the skills though.
@@wayway7017 it's a common joke, much like "the two happiest days of a boat owner is the day they buy a boat and the day they sell it", but CE puts his spin on it and has a great delivery.
You forgot one type of photographers: Trainspotters "You take a day off and travel a few hundred kilometers just to take a picture of a specific train, only for it to be ruined because a cloud blocked the sun at the exact wrong moment"
@@telmuun1221 No, plane spotters are more like "You spend $10,000 on this lens that is way too heavy to lift, to photograph the underside of a white cylinder that is exactly the same as every other white cylinder except for the numbers printed on the side."
I just came back from New Zealand, I was going through my pictures thinking "that's by far the best landscape photography I've ever made" (I usually do astrophotography). That landscape joke hit really hard, I guess New Zealand and Norway have the "fjord buff".
I love landscape photography but just about every place with a good scenery has been photographed ad nauseum. So why bother, just search it on the internet.

I honestly wanted to get into wildlife photography as a hobby. It's basically hunting, just with the risk of death being aimed more towards you than the animals.
@@excalibro8365 I'm aware this might be controversial, but my approach to street photography is to first compose the photo, see where I want the person to fit in the photo, get the camera ready and wait for the subject to step in. That way I'm the one who's there first and if anything it's the person who's stepping into the photo. The other completely opposite approach is to just shoot from the hip, takes practice but done right people won't even realize that you took a photo. This one is harder to pull off (specially if you are introverted) but you can always approach the person and ask for their consent! I usually offer to share them the pic and ask them to write their email on my phone, and while they are busy writing I take another shot of them that's more candid. And I always always lead any possible confrontation offering the person if they want me to delete the photo. Once I had a guy flipping me off in a photo, I told the guy that I'd be more than willing to delete the pic but instead the guy told me that he fully supported street artists and we ended up talking for a while and the guy was super nice!
Dude I feel like your videos are so much more in-depth than they used to be and have jokes based in actual research you've done. Quality is seriously off the charts.
As a photographer that specializes in sports, concert, and portraits and trying to find work in sports...this is all entirely accurate and I need to find those corps that give a ton of money for mid work.
Oh heck yeah, more casually explained!! Personally am way too into these vids, basically all of them. They even age super stupid well. Huge grin on seeing the updates, I'll never get sick of your humor, thanks for the content!
There was one type of photography that you did miss, and it’s partial related to HDR photography (3:52), and that’s Astrophotography. Often the equipment used can either be very similar or very different to HDR photography. Taking long exposure shots or Timelapse of the Milky Way can require the same basic camera on a tiny tracking tripod. Photographing nebula or galaxies though require first a telescope, a motorized EQ mount (or unmotorized with slow-no knobs), a camera designed to work with telescope eyepieces, color filters including infrared and h-alpha for nebula, a coma corrector if you’re using a reflector that is f/6 or lower, and you, late at night, having to deal with any bullshit that arises. But astrophotographers is necessary to astronomy, as little light can be seen with the human eye or one short exposure shot. Often multiple long exposure shots are needed to be taken (not too long or heat noise appears in the image) then stacked and color corrected to create the final image. Moreover, you need clear, windless, and dark skies, hopefully in an area not to humid or frigid, or the telescope optics could be slightly damaged. But it is worth it. It is super worth it.
As someone who used to tip his toes into photography, this is extremely accurate. So many lenses and so little money (both my own and also the commercial potential). I think I lost my enjoyment of photography right around the time I had to use all of my acquired skills for my PhD to properly film my experiments. I got really good at manually focusing on moving~1mm objects within a couple of seconds using a 40mm or 50mm lens at the expense of actually enjoying using my camera.
Often happens when your hobby becomes a "job" or a "chore". That's why so many people advice against turning your hobby into your job. Which contradicts the other oft quoted advice of "follow your passion".
I just started a photography class because ive made poor choices and this has helped me with the final project listed on my syllabus so thanks for this
The best part of a new casually explained video is reading the comments from everyone who actually does whatever the video is talking about laughing about how accurate the digs are
Casually explained is like if your favorite teacher from middle school only showed up every few months to teach you about life... and then you find out he's not a real teacher.
"the joke of course being that you were flying Air Canada so you were never leaving the airport anyway" Absolutely accurate/brilliant! I laughed so hard.
Omg that truthful joke about the moon landing dude ❤ I mean, I’m an amateur artist photographer (I try anyways) and I would never have expected you to make a casually explained video about photography, as always, pure bliss, a little gift with very warm psychological laughs. May you live a thousand years
I would love seeing a video on yoyos someday. It's another fun hobby, and it goes to extremely high levels. Plus it's another money sink when you find yourself buying yet another $120 yoyo because it's 2mm wider and the shape makes it feel different. I would honestly be happy to give info and recommend you to other yoyo creators, some of whom are former world champions, and I'm sure they could direct you to even more people to talk to. And if you try out yoyoing and find out that you like it, then there will be another enjoyer of the hobby
as a teen I had the privilege of toying with a professional camera fairly soon compared to most people, and yes it is really fun to take photos with them and see all the beauty that they add, to the photo nowadays I've a more potent one in my phone and I really only use it if someone asks to photograph something, rarely by myself.
Love the slower pace and more aligned animations. Maybe less hidden jokes but the story told just works so much better. This one was especially hilarious great job on the writing.

As someone who used to tip his toes into photography, this is extremely accurate.
So many lenses and so little money (both my own and also the commercial potential).
I think I lost my enjoyment of photography right around the time I had to use all of my acquired skills for my PhD to properly film my experiments. I got really good at manually focusing on moving~1mm objects within a couple of seconds using a 40mm or 50mm lens at the expense of actually enjoying using my camera.
Dip
Often happens when your hobby becomes a "job" or a "chore". That's why so many people advice against turning your hobby into your job. Which contradicts the other oft quoted advice of "follow your passion".
Creepy, im starting to teach photography class today and needed a video to help. We’ll just watch this every day thanks.
Came for the subject, stayed for the Opera Add.
Used to use Opera back in 2003.
ILL GIVE IT A TRY AGAIN Tomorrow!
In all my years trying to understand what HDR is, never have I seen a better explanation. I finally get it!
"the lower the budget the higher the expectations" my man spitting truth bombs
Photography is cool until you take a photo of yourself and realize how asymmetrical your face is
I just started a photography class because ive made poor choices and this has helped me with the final project listed on my syllabus so thanks for this
The writing of this video truly is just peak comedy. Even watched the sponsored part all the way through
The moon landing "the cameras didn't have enough dynamic range to see the LEDs in the studio" freaking cracked me up so much ahahahha amazing
The perfect example of the quiet kid that says the most true, honest, hilarious thing after a long silence.
as a portrait photographer i enjoyed the roasting, esp the yearbook part LMAO
Damn, he called me out in 2:30
These punchlines were great. So glad this was 10 minutes. Looking forward to the 30min version!
“The best way to make money in photography is by selling your equipment.”
Brutal.
'All I need is a $1,000 and can like...be with her" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That Richard joke was one of the best I’ve heard, sick setup, punchline and delivery ;)
The best part of a new casually explained video is reading the comments from everyone who actually does whatever the video is talking about laughing about how accurate the digs are
As a photographer, i swear no truer words were spoken. Idek how he figured this level of detail out without being a photographer
Dude, you are doing gods work. Some of the best videos on YT.
New Casually Explained video is like in oasis in a wet desert. Love your vids
A wet desert 🏜 filled with lunch trucks and horny maxim models
Casually explained is like if your favorite teacher from middle school only showed up every few months to teach you about life... and then you find out he's not a real teacher.
"the joke of course being that you were flying Air Canada so you were never leaving the airport anyway" Absolutely accurate/brilliant! I laughed so hard.
Omg that truthful joke about the moon landing dude ❤ I mean, I’m an amateur artist photographer (I try anyways) and I would never have expected you to make a casually explained video about photography, as always, pure bliss, a little gift with very warm psychological laughs. May you live a thousand years
I would love seeing a video on yoyos someday. It's another fun hobby, and it goes to extremely high levels. Plus it's another money sink when you find yourself buying yet another $120 yoyo because it's 2mm wider and the shape makes it feel different. I would honestly be happy to give info and recommend you to other yoyo creators, some of whom are former world champions, and I'm sure they could direct you to even more people to talk to. And if you try out yoyoing and find out that you like it, then there will be another enjoyer of the hobby
as a videographer and freelance video editor... i feel this in the deepest most painful parts of my soul
The next skill he went pro in and now provides us with his newly gained knowledge. Much appreciated
Videographer here. Thank you for your humorous take on the profession. It has been a while since I have seen one of your videos!
Lmao, ur too funny man. Loving the photography hobby and many of the things you said were very relatable.
5:34 "First I'll delete the app, then I'll punch Mark Zuckerberg in the face" 😂
as a teen I had the privilege of toying with a professional camera fairly soon compared to most people, and yes it is really fun to take photos with them and see all the beauty that they add, to the photo nowadays I've a more potent one in my phone and I really only use it if someone asks to photograph something, rarely by myself.
I wondered if he would make a "staged moon landing joke ". Didn't disappoint.
1:23 these lenses are expensive just so you know. Although, you can rent lenses depending on what type and duration of the days/weeks
casually explained is casually the most successful absentee father/channel on youtube (and i'm all here for it)
Love the slower pace and more aligned animations.
Maybe less hidden jokes but the story told just works so much better.
This one was especially hilarious great job on the writing.
