Hey everyone, I've been overwhelmed by the response to this and my other video! It was a great way to start on youtube. Thanks for all the great comments and to everyone for visiting me on Instagram! I'm working on the next video now and will post it when it's ready. Keep the comments coming :)

As a keen amateur photographer I found this video to be very interesting and useful. I am still trying to work out my style and experimenting with all sorts at this time - hence why I am watching your video. I had never thought of including paintings, movies etc. into the mix of an ideas board, so I will do that now. Thank you for the inspiration!

Great tips! I picked up photography awhile back, but stopped for about 5 years because I got sick. I look at my old photos and feel like I would do things differently now. My life experiences have changed my views and my ability to take the same type of photos, so I'm forced to do something new. This video has definitely helped me try to solve this problem of what I want to change going forward.

Wow! While I have certainly heard a lot of this advice already, I have never heard it put together so concise, encouraging and inspiring. I am not a photographer by profession yet, but have developed a strong urge to become a good photographer and improve what I can create with a camera. I am still very much confused about what I really want to achieve. I just know that I want to create something original, real art that matters to me and to others as well. Thanks for putting this out, I wish you good light!

I have no idea how many times I had seen this video in the last month. 🎉🎉🎉

[pedrobartolomei]

This is by far the most relevant and useful video I've seen about the subject. Thank you very much

[nicknichols]

Nothing dramatically new, just good common sense and a sound approach to identifying and improving your individual style. Well done Scott! Thank you.

Great advice. As a pro photographer of 23 years, who generally shoot what clients want, in the style they want, it is actually really hard to know my own tastes among the thousands of frames I make every month, to someone else's vision and aesthetic.

Scott, thank you so much for making this video.
I'm not sure I'm even a photographer, but this has been so useful for me. I'm more of a physical creator (furniture, lights and lamps) and use photography to capture it, but so much of the content I've been watching is about: gear, editing, composition... things that are just table stakes. This video helps me and connects to me on a different level, figuring out who I am and how that affects the work.
I saw that you only have 750 subs right now, that's mind-boggling to me. There's a lot of room for this type of content in the world. Thank you.

I'm surprised that this is your first video on your channel because of the quality! Keep up the amazing work!!

Scott, you and I share similar backgrounds. I too worked for a college. I was the publications guy and later the media center manager. I did some photo work that got noticed very early on as a college student. I used a Pentax K1000 and a 50mm f2 lens for it! I knew nothing about the technical stuff. I never did anything with my photography (we are talking about decades here) until about a year ago. Along the way, I created a lot of iconic images that got noticed but nothing ever came from them. It is time to share the images. Thank you so much for the videos and the inspiration. I have semi-mastered the technical stuff. Now I focus on what I call "why" of photography. 
Your video hit the bullseye every time... and I only discovered you a few hours ago!!

Muchas gracias Scott! Finding your own style could be a very elusive task, but you provide some very good advice on how to do it. Do keep the videos coming, you have a very fresh, calm way of conveying topics/ideas.

Great video Scott! Couple of book recommendations: "Shooting Space" and "Constructing Worlds". Both are very much in the wheelhouse of the 'manufactured landscapes' and feature some of the images/photographers you referenced.

[JL-vkrs]

really interesting to hear you mention "Manufactured Landscapes". I was shown this film in one of my first classes in my first year of university and it had an enormous impact on the lives of me and my closest friend at the time. Great video Scott, thanks a lot

[mcipovic]

Wow I just started mentorship in finding my style and at last focusing in my work. And now I find your lecture. Thanks I really needed this!

[JamesKerwin]

Love roberts work! My true inspiration.

[rakiytzakari]

Great job on breaking this down. I'm glad your video popped up in my feed. The is great advice and applicable to artists across a variety of disciplines.

[TheophilusEmmanuel]

Wow! Excellent content. Great presentation, too! Very well done.

[tompwilliams]

Scott, this video gave me several ideas. Thank you. I also really like your high key architectural work. Looking forward to more from you. Subscribed!

Thank you Scott. I appreciate your perspective.
