What’s your favourite way to learn photography? 😍📸

[TheKristianMods]

This was the most motivating video I ever seen. I'm 23 y.o. guy from Slovakia, living already a year in the Netherlands. I am excited about photography since I was kid, and finally a year ago bought my first DSLR camera to learn photography. I spent all my saved money to buy my first beginner DSRL, and since I have it I try to get better and better. I always shoot for myself, but since I bought a better lens for my camera I got more and more enthusiastic about photography. I get more motivation, trying to learn more and more by watching videos and photoshoots, analyze myself what I have to improve, and this is the way how I get more and more excited and motivated. Watching your videos, got goosbumps all the time, because I felt your energy how you giving us your thoughts and experience of photography. Thank you for this! I really love it, you give me more energy and even more motivation about photography, and promise I will improve myself to be a good photographer <3

6:00 is so important. Learning is important, but if you don’t use it you WILL loose it. Reps are king

Hi. I'm 57 years old now. I have been taking photographs since I was 8 years old. My first camera was a kodak with disposable square flashs. They came in 5 or 8 in a box. It was fun. In 2004 I took a photography course. I just wanted to just to learn new things. I already knew everything. They didn't teach how to shoot photography. I already knew this. I have a certificate on photography. I'm Puerto Rican. I use my photography on graphic designs art work for my books. Photography has opened many doors for me. I use it to create my art work for my music albums as well when I'm releasing new music. I do a lot with photography. The possibilities are endless.😊

I studied photography in a post-secondary education university for which I also paid much money! Believe me when I say that I learned so much more by watching youtubers' videos like yours, the Bite Shot(Joannie), Peter McKinnon, Chris Hau etc! In the two years studying at the university, I learned only 40% of the photography! And also, I didn't have from them, a real support in what I wanted to do which is Travelling Photography...So yeah....I totally agree with you, bc I've learned so much about the thing I love the most by all of you...and I still am! And also, this video is an oportunity to test me again on portraits, so thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[lefiyoutube]

You almost made me cry 🥲 Your video just gave the greatest motivational boost even if I am pushing myself everyday in my photography! You answered perfectly to each questions that I was asking myself. Thank you so so so much for this!

[pedromacd]

Hey! I'm also a graphic designer and after 3 years freelancing i'm adding photography to my freelance business. I've been shooting pics for 25 years and have never had the confidence to step out there. Everything you say is spot on. Do what makes you happy and succeed at it :)

[glmcreationsfilm]

thankyou for telling me about how you began, the realest on youtube righ now! "photography is intense" "i used to get nervous before shoots" ahh i felt so much in this video!

[arth.]

I really like a quote one of my photography teachers told me back in the 1980's, "You are your biggest fan". Thank you for your great videos!

[raicabardophotography]

I completely agree! I taught myself how to be a graphic designer. I don't have a four-year degree in graphic design, but with perseverance and dedication I was able to learn and grow. I am now managing a team of designers. I'm still learning in this field of photography, and I know I can learn even more by watching YouTube videos, trying out various shots, and listening to professionals. I'm loving everything I've discovered by experimenting with my camera settings.

[juliettehurtado]

Out of all the videos I watched, this one is the one that stuck the most! I love how you explain everything and share your own experience. Great video

[stephaniebuxton]

this is one of the best videos I have seen since I started my photography journey. You literally covered all my insecurities in 14 minutes. Thank you!

[mssapphire]

This makes me feel better and more motivated. I'm in a photography program and I feel like I don't have the eye for it even though it has always been my passion since 18. Im happy i found your channel today ❤❤❤❤

[scootafan]

I've been studying photography alone for the last few years I want to say maybe three or four. And I hate to say that I started to lose passion with it, not because money was the main objective but because I truly love it. I guess I got stuck in the same old routine with it but just now watching this has brought new inspiration into my life. I can honestly say thank you because I really needed to hear all of this. From this day forward I'm going to experiment a lot more with different kinds of photography and not just sticking to portraits like I have in the past. I now know and see the importance of experimentation, after looking over your work it fills me with joy.

[rmika]

This is probably the best beginner photography advice on YouTube I've ever seen.

[awesome]

“Go out there, be nervous before every photo shoot”

Man that made me feel seen

[lindaholtphotography]

Absolutely, experience is everything and should be ticket to any job. I’ve learn so much on YouTube and by purchasing tutorials. But, most importantly you never know everything, constant shooting is the best way to learn. I love your channel.

[CoachEliArevalo]

You are so right, i went through a whole course that cost me a fortune and honestly didn't learn as much as i have learned on youtube and creator courses.

[Richardify]

I just randomly discovered your channel. I like your energy. I'm a semi-pro photographer who's been doing it just for fun for 30 years. I have done paid work such as weddings, portraits and etc, but only when I am asked. Soon I will be creating two photo businesses, and the reason I have confidence to do that, is because of what you said; don't get caught up in the technical aspects, just do it. I paraphrased a bit. I do like the technical side too, but clients and friends don't care about that, just capture the magic by simply doing, and that will teach you far better than all the technical book reading.

[matthewliu]

Hi Laura, I am a graphic designer as well who is living in a foreign country and getting stuck in my career but I've always had a interest in photography. I am really looking to switch my career slowly to photography. Been watching your videos and you are so inspiring!! Thank you so much for all the advice!
