    As an introvert I have always found it challenging to compete in the freelance photography world, but I've learnt some tricks which have helped. On a recent trip to Lindisfarne I made this video to talk about looking after yourself, choosing your photography genre, and some business tips as well when selling yourself to clients, all without having to fake extroversion. I also had a great time sitting down with photographer Simon Baxter to hear about his experience as a solo woodland and landscape photographer. Share this video on if you found it helpful and subscribe for future videos.

    You are the antithetical embodiment of the Peter Mckinnon archetype that is so popular and frequently imitated in this community. Not to take away from Peter as I enjoy both of your content, however for very different reasons. What I appreciate about you is your vulnerability, and genuinely authentic approach towards whatever message it is that your are attempting to convey. Always look forward to your video drops and I think this was a solid topic that resonates with a lot of people. Cheers!!

      Sean is just like a brother, you can cry on to, and he will tell you to be strong and you will be strong right after he told you to because you trust him that much. Peter is like a brother too, you can trust him too to cry onto but both of you will end up laugh at it afterwards and you will say fuck it i will do that mistakes again if i got a chance. You do the mistakes again, you run to Peter, never to Sean.

      I don't agree . Peter McKinnon is an extrovert. Full enery out of a top charisma . But both are good m teacher and amazing brilliant photographer.

      @@EliezaBaby I'm so glad he's not like MCKinnon... Not that I dislike him and not that I don't enjoy what he has to offer. But sometimes the Boom & Bash is just too much some days... He's no guru.. But he's entertaining... Sean is real.. Passionate and honest about his photography. And genuinely empathiser. He's a great role. I've been asked to run a photography course for 6 weeks and plan too show some of the group his videos.
      Top job Sean!! 👍😀👌🇬🇧

      Hi Barry: I agree 100% with you feedback. I also enjoy watching Peter McKinnon but a steady diet of only Peter would be too much. I am really growing to enjoy Sean's channel more and more each video I watch.....Cheers, Keith

    damn this actually made me pretty emotional, as a teenager surrounded by teachers, friends, parents pushing me to be louder, more assertive, more extroverted, it was really nice to hear another perspective, that success in a creative field can come without completely sacrificing who i truly am. cheers.

    Very fleshed out, thoughtful, and moving. I feel that many youtubers' videos are lacking an artistic or human element -- they're too run and gun, too 'i need to produce content'-oriented. With your videos, I always depart feeling better educated as well as being move emotionally. I think this is definitely to be attributed to your thoughtfulness and your attempt to produce something genuine. It definitely shows that you put yourself in your work.

    Wonderful video as always. As a musician first (video and photo came after) I always struggled with this since making music and playing shows almost always involves going out to bars and venues or getting involved with other people in some way or another. I love people and all the connections that I make but I find it way easier on the whole to be alone or only spend time with my wife. This is something I struggle with constantly and it's nice to hear some tips and nice to know I'm not alone.

    Having been an introvert TH-camr for over a year now, yet following the loud and shouty 'CRUSH IT!' kind of channels, something has always never quite felt right. Since discovering your channel through the recommendation of our mutual chum James P, I've been preparing to stop, hit 'reset', then go again in a more calm, calculated, and comfortable manner. It is such a reassurance and a joy to find more of 'My Kind of People.' Thank you so much Mr T, you really are a truly inspiring Gentleman.

    Sean,
    As I process your message, I realize that those of us who really hear you, we really hear you.
    I've photographed people for music packaging, editorial work, corporate reportage, and, fashion. Clients agreed that I was very good at eliciting the "appropriate" look for the particular use of my work.
    But, the effort exhausted me, and I had to escape, often into self-destructive behaviors. I "burned-out."
    Having been on hiatus from photography for a decade, I'm back, and comfortable with shooting only for my personal vision, insular as that may be perceived. I shoot for my quiet self and am much happier and healthier for it, the vast portfolio of good works I produced over the years of being "walking wounded" not withstanding.
    I'm quite comfortable with being a, somewhat rowdy, introvert. I hear you...
    Thank-You,
    Mike

    I appreciate the introspective nature of this video, and quite frankly relieved that it’s not another extrovert making a lot of noise about nothing. Photography TH-cam videos are saturated with those types. I am more of an introvert than extrovert. I’m a contemplative photographer. I appreciate the effort here. Thank you! 🙏🏽

    I`m blown away. It`s like I sit here and hear my subconscious talking back at me loud. I`m talking about the space, the walks, the need to sometimes go out and wonder so I can talk to myself and see where I am in life. Welcome into my life.

  • @Sushi0923
    @Sushi0923 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    When I was younger, Ive always thought that I am an extrovert. But over the years, I realized that I more introvert than what I actually thought. I enjoy my alone time - when I have the time to go to the woodlands, enjoy the sounds there, no talking, just serene scenes. I will take your "micro holiday" advice as my work schedules have been manic recently, the micro holidays might give me a bit of a break into my own space. Cheers and keep up the good work.

    I like this video for a number of reasons. I hate driving somewhere just so I can take my dogs for a walk and am fortunate enough to be within walking distance of a couple of green space trails that will give us up to 5 km walking distance. Secondly, these trails are great for taking photos, different ones at different seasons of the year which also reduces my "hatred" for driving somewhere just to take photos. During the winter, here in Sudbury Canada (about 4hr drive north of Toronto), I will drive about 5 km to get to a park where we can get out, walk across the frozen lake, to get to a trail system of more than 10 km. Walking and photographing in my "backyard" is my favorite thing to do.

    I found your channel recently. Immediately, I was struck by the quality of your photography and the thoughtfulness of your delivery. Society sees extroverts as the norm, which causes people to exaggerate this trait. What I see is that people who behave like extroverts don't give themselves enough time to think and listen. Nobody is born with all the answers and if you just blabber your way through life, very little will come of it.

    Hugh fan of your work and your soul brother! I’m an extrovert/extrovert and all my close friends and mi wife are introverts (is kind of funny).
    Hope one day our path crosses and I have the honor to exchange some words with you.
    I have been a TH-camr for 7 years and you are my favorite TH-camr, not only for the quality of your video, audio but your story telling skills and MAGICAL content, your videos just talk to me.
    I also really like Thomas and Simon a lot, you guys have a great energy.
    Thanks for sharing and being so open in camera, you are really inspirational.

      That sounds familiar to me, I’m an introvert and my partner is an extrovert, I think it works quite well, there is never an awkward silence even when we first met because he never shuts up haha only joking, but when he has finished talking, he has said so much that I now have lots of things to respond to and talk about.
      I have one friend, we’ve been friends since nursery school and she’s an extrovert, she’s always looked out for me from day one, she even answered the school register for me because I wouldn’t talk as a child.
      I guess the saying opposites attract is fairly true.

    Sean, you couldn’t have released this video at a better time for me as I am at the very start of what could be a 1 - 2+ year world trip. It’s relieving and inspiring to hear you voice (for as long as I can remember) what I’ve been feeling about conversing and interacting with people, and the inner conflicts on the intro vs extro subject. So thank you for reminding me that the path I’m on is right, so long as it’s my own.

    I appreciate your effort to help (me and others) through your high level of communication and honesty.
    Also the comments are amazingly free of critisism etc. All is relaxing here and I'll come back for more...

    The last 20 years of my career involved so much social interaction that I was literally spent at the end of each day. It was an absolutely terrible job for an introvert and it was all I could do to spend a little time with my husband at the end of the day. It was at least six months after retirement before I had any desire to speak to anyone other than family or very close friends. Now that I can have however much "alone" time as I like, social activities are more enjoyable. Still, going out to the beach or into the woods alone with my camera is very much my happy place. Thanks for the insightful vlog and please keep on doing what you do so well!

    Another set of pearls Mr T - For many years I was convinced I was an extrovert, until a very wise man pointed out that I was in fact an introvert dressed in an extrovert’s clothing ... only now am I coming to terms with who I really am and my new love, photography, is playing a key role in forging that identity. I am fortunate that I don’t think I’ll ever need to rely on it to make any kind of living, but there is a part of me that is regretful and wished I could maybe test myself to see if I could. You know, take the risk, see if it would have been possible? ... but regrettably I have the ‘excuse’ of being nearer 60, so I don’t need to confront that challenge and put my soul (and pride) on the line. Thanks for the continued inspiration!

    This is the kind of content that first attracted me to your vlog, where you took seclusion in a small modern cabin far from the city to reconnect with your passion and creativity. I liked the images, and your processes. But, it was you, what you are that compelled me to follow. And in this one, one could not be amazed at Simon Baxter in his quiet way, his bouncing Meg and total immersion into really capturing something special in his woodland excursions.

    So true, I've been introverted all my life and have always felt more comfortable doing things on my own, this is one of the reasons why I enjoy landscape photography so much, but the wanting to do things on my own always fills me with the same old guilt that I'm being selfish for not sharing what I do with family and friends. Your vlogs are superb Sean, thanks for sharing your thoughts, knowing you have something in common with someone else really does put the mind at rest.

People who know me will say im not as i used to be a nightclub dj for 20 years but that was part of my personality and we can all raise our game for a while, great video sean really made me stop and think 🤔

    I really needed this kind of video. I'm struggling with social phobia/anxiety and I agree with you that there aren't many youtubers enough that are talking about this subject! Thank you for being able to talk about this openly with your followers, I haven't gotten that far yet, but someday hopefully! Keep up the good work.

    OUTSTANDING!!!! I waited and wondered and then it appeared-----my two favorite photographers together at last! Grateful I started my morning with these much needed words and quiet thoughts to think about as I head off for a "mini vacation" Love Meg and what she means to Simon....Great guys, just great!

    Thank you Sean Tucker and Simon Baxter for this segment. As one who grew up in a house hold with a sibling who was the extrovert or the one my parents suggested I try to be . I've always have enjoyed having the quite times of not having to be something I wasn't. Yes it was hard to be recognized sometimes. I did get over shadowed, but to this date I have been able to find my calling and a photographic career that suites my personally. Cheers!!

    Never have I found another individual that I can relate to as I have through watching your videos and hearing your stories. And I never, ever offer comments and yet I have now commented on 2 of your videos. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself and all the time and work you spend on making these awesome videos.

    You videos never disappoint me. I mean that literally. Your intentionality, vision, and execution are legendary. If you stay patient and keep up the consistency, you will reach more and more people.
    I'm really grateful to be paired with my wife who is 80% extrovert. I'm about 10% extrovert, and it only comes out towards the end of a shoot or 30 min into hanging out with my friends. Even with my best friends, I have to warm up to them. It took her a while to get used to me. Haha!

  • @michaelschneeberger9512

    Thanks for this video, Sean. Being an introvert in an extroverts world isn't easy, mostly because we can be perceived as shy and secretive and even cold or distant. But I think introverts also have another very powerful asset over extroverts, that is we are perceived as more humble and honest and perhaps also more spiritual and less superficial (not saying extroverts ARE superficial of course, it's just a matter of perception). As it's a bit harder to get to know an introvert, it's like a reward for people patient enough to get to scratch the surface and discover what's underneath, as opposed to extroverts who will show everything off right away. I guess it's all about playing the hand that you were dealt with instead of trying to get new cards :)

  • @stunseed999

    I am very into photography and videography which surely led me to your videos, but right now, I find comfort from them. Might be just be in my head, but I feel as if some of that deepnes you have originates from pain. My wife is currently dying from liver cancer. The past two years fighting cancer have been hard. I've never felt so lost and alone as I do now, knowing my wife will never enter our home again. I need distractions and sound, and you provide that coupled with a lot of knowledge. Thank you!

  • @c_steve_j

    Thank You ... Thank You ... Thank You ... As an introvert, and relatively new to the world of photography, I was beginning to feel alone and discouraged. Ever since picking up a camera, the woodlands and the desire to be alone with myself and my camera has become my way to calm a life that is constantly challenged by the ever increasing pace of life. I am not a technical photographer. I'm not one to talk about aperture, ISO, or shutter speed. All I have ever wanted is to be able to convey, through pictures, how I view the world around me and hopefully capture the wonder and the mood as that visualization was happening. Mood and the less obvious have always been goals. Thank you reaffirming my belief that introverts have a place in the world of art no matter the medium ...

  • @pascalhibon7928
    @pascalhibon7928 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Always enjoy your videos. You didn't struck me as an introvert but rather someone who is aware of his surroundings. I find it very brave to openly talk about that. I guess this is part of staying true to yourself. Anyway, keep up the great work. You're an amazing and very talented artist!

I have been watching your videos all day and you touch my soul in each one...one way or another. So glad I stumbled upon your channel. Thank you for taking time to help others, like me, feel more confident. I have been shooting for 20+ years and you have helped me view myself and my work differently. Something I have been searching for. *Big hugs*

    Thank you Sean for sharing your topic which no one wants to speak about. I am too an introvert and me at 35 yrs still struggling to cement my place in whatever I do. The few things that keep me going are support from my better half, my parents and that one thing that I keep telling to myself "Your time will come". Most of the world out there lives fake life and I am proud that I don't.

  • @avinashsharma5558

    I'm an introvert, into film making and photography.
    I got to introduced to your channel by your headshot tutorial.
    First of all, your tutorials are very informative and deeply explained, yet in a simple manner.
    Second, I'm also a psychology scholar so I got too many of things that I can relate w you personally and your style/approach.
    Thank you very much for doing what you do and proving the point that you don't necessarily have to behave a certain way to succeed in this business or life in general.
    I'm genuinely grateful to have come across your channel ❤️

  • @roadextexas2360
    @roadextexas2360 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video. As an introvert myself I can so relate to the decompression that happens when alone. I have time built into each day for myself, even my drive to work is a nice 30 minute drive each way down a long straight mostly empty highway. Really helps me focus and recenter/recharge before and after work each day.
    I am a hobbyist photographer, but this hobby fits into my personality perfectly, my subjects tend to be abandoned locations off the beaten path. About once a month I try to take a day off work and spend that day driving and exploring and shooting. A good ten or twelve hours to myself does wonders for my mood.
    Thank you for the video.

    As always an absorbing video, others on here have gone from tips and photos to almost lifestyle videos, "Look at my life, isn't it great." etc etc. I don't leap to watch their videos much any more because they grate a bit on the psyche. There's nothing to be learned from someone just showing off. Your videos are real and appreciated.

    Superb video Sean. I've always found your videos to be inspirational but this one tops the list. I love the work you and Simon produce on TH-cam. As an introvert myself i find your manner and style much more engaging than the loud, brash extroverts that tend to steal the limelight. Keep up the great content - there's so many people put there that really value what you do.

  • @ThePeebsb

    Hi Sean. I am a keen amateur photography but I also have a business and a charity that looks after vulnerable young adults. I love the fact that you open up and soul search along with your artistry. The reason I mentioned the kids is that the quotes you use very often resonate and match where they are in their troubled lives right now, with self doubt and negative influencers as they grew up. I felt I had to reach out and let you know that you are more holistic than just a photographer. Great stuff Sean.
