Why I Love Photography

Season 1 | Episode 1

About.

Terry Fouche is a photographer and pastor living in Altadena, CA. Originally from South Africa, Terry's unique eye is shown through his love and respect for humanity. In this episode, he talks about why he's a photographer and how capturing a single moment is what he loves to do. He has a loving wife, 2 beautiful children, and a cool dog named Gryffin.

"I began to realize if you looked up you can see things... If you looked down you can see things... Backward. In front of you. Sideways. Most often we walk in one direction and that's all we look at." - Terry Fouche

In less than 3 minutes, your film said more about the importance of photography than many books or hour-long documentaries. Thank you. Subscribed.

Thumbs up for someone who had great skills and acknowledges his creator as his source for creativity.

[andrefelixstudio]

This is one smart guy who looks for a soul and story in his pictures/work!

Videos like this makes me want to grab my camera, go out and take images that mean something to me and reflect simple beauty in the moment. Technology is amazing but adds to clutter and complexity. This is beautiful.

This is refreshing for the soul. Someone who cares about their craft and the people who feature in it. Rare these days. Thank you. More please.

As someone who loves to do photography and a retired pastor I truly can relate. Thanks for your insights. Enjoyed it tremendously.

When he said it was about being creative when he wasn't able to draw... Man that hits home. I have always been creative and wanted to make things. As a kid I tried to draw and just never could. Then as I got older I was able to try more new things and got interested in photography then videography.

[raymorgan]

That was beautiful. Encapsulated exactly how I feel about photography.

[HumanClouds]

Wow... very powerful. Touching, too. Looking forward to see more!

This is great and the overall message is so amazing and inspiring. This is truly inspiring to me as someone who wants to start photography. As I'm typing this, I am terrible at drawing, painting, or do any of those things, and it just seems like a perfect way for me to be creative. I look forward to start photography and to start creating things. Keep going and thanks for the inspiration!

Fantastic. I watched it twice in a row to fully absorb Terry’s words.

[graemewilson]

i came because of the title, and on the first 40 second i realize, damn this visual is amazing, the light, composition, transition .. it shows how experienced the maker is ... and it put a smile on me when i watched this ... The about "respect" and "honor" was a surprise, cos i never think of that, i never think of photography or any videography in that way.... Thank you for sharing this beautiful video #respect ...

[erichstocker]

A really great, succinct and highly informative video.

[woodrowclose]

[IanKyddMiller]
