About

I’m more interested in the ‘why’ of photography than in the ‘how’. There are loads of channels out there enthusiastically giving you gear reviews and top ten lists, but that's not this channel. There will be practical tips along the way, but the meat of what I want to share with you won't be tech heavy. Besides, I believe that a photographer who really sees, but has a cheap camera; will produce better images than a photographer with the best gear, but no vision... every time. I’m not a daily vlogger, I’m not even a weekly one. The most I can manage at the moment is about once a month. But that also means that I’m not going to fill this channel with repeats of other info online, or attempt to stretch a little bit of content a long way. I want every video to feel fresh and rich. Hopefully that makes them worth the wait.

Video Description

Website: http://www.seantucker.photography/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seantuck/ Purchase book or prints: http://www.seantucker.photography/store/ Book training sessions: http://www.seantucker.photography/bookings/ As photographers it's very easy to fall down the deep, dark hole of gear lust; or to get lost in reams of techy info, thinking these things will make us better photographers. They may help you learn how to use the tools, but in the same way as owning a paint brush doesn't make you an artist, becoming a great photographer is about so much more. The following video gives some of my thoughts on how to 'exercise visually', how to open your eyes to the world around, and how to become photo-aware. I hope it inspires you to shoot more often, with more abandon, and to develop your photography as art, not science. Enjoy, and share it on if you found it helpful. www.seantucker.photography #photography #streetphotography #visualexercise
