Advice for new photographers from Felix : Neutral Density

Filmmaker Lawrence Bury interviewed me a while back and I thought I'd share - I talk about my career, my style and what young photographers should focus on.

This is all the way back from 2018.

I was looking for gear, tips, ideas, technical approaches etc, when I stumbled upon this video. And the point where you, Felix, tell us to shoot from the heart, from your own creativity, that was te marker for me. From here on, I'll start again from scratch, and make my own discisions, create my own style and not have Instagram in teh back of my mind as an indicator how good I pretend te be. Thanks Felix

[❤️ this excerpt]: Shoot for yourself. Shoot for a narrative that is true to you. Don’t get caught up in shooting just for Instagram or to compete for that tiny screen real estate. When you overcalculate and overthink you lose some of the innate creativity that makes photography what it is.

—I resonated w that! As a lot of energy that would be devoted to creativity / developing work - is being spent by many young creatives instead on getting themselves to perform well on those platforms. A balance!

This was a great video, I have a lot of shared opinions but the comments section is no place for that. Looking forward to that exhibition in Cape Town. Thanks! 🙌

What kind of material did you use for the Atelier Bogelund campaign ? The hanging black straps/ribbons that were going horizontal from pole to pole?
