Avoid Making This BIG Mistake In Your Photography — Documentary Photographer Daniel Milnor

With greater ease to acquire photography gear than ever before, it can be tempting to use lots of techniques on major projects to have a variety of work. But as Daniel Milnor is going to discuss, just because something is easy doesn't mean you should do it.

Daniel. You might not be a photojournalist, you might not be a documentary photographer any longer, but you might well be the first photo-psychotherapist. Thanks for all your insightful advice. It needed someone to be honest about it.

This is becoming the best photography channel. Thanks Dan.

[ebouwens]

The gritty honesty is so good. Thanks for putting this out there. BTW: second magazine, done.

Daniels videos are always thought provoking and such a change from the usual banal youtube photography diatribe - many thanks for taking the time too make them

I wish I've found Dan and his approach like 10 yr ago.

This was a great video that quickly summed up something that many of us suffer from. Really great job conveying a feeling that resonates so well with so many of us.

I also really enjoyed that you didn’t just say “I make mistakes all the time”, but you gave a few interesting examples like the cactus story or the secret service one. I also love how you bookended they video with you huffing and puffing during a hike/run. You’re well known for your rapid-fire videos and adding that audio really encapsulated that feeling and was a nice subtle touch.

So glad you are continuing with Daniel's videos.

Natural presenter and communicator - and that's speaking as a teacher of many years. Great stuff.

Those 35mm shots depict utter mastery. Those are as good as anything I've ever seen. Bloody brilliant. Your photographic caloric deficit might make you lean; but its some of the best work I've seen in years, and definately the best I've seen on Youtube. In addition, the perspective you offered in this video is irreplaceable. Thank you.

[LandonWhitsitt]

I am very thankful you are making these videos. What a gift.

[sharonleibel]

It's a brilliant video that should be shouted from every rooftop for all the new photographers out there.

[Johnkostercreative]

Man, I just love these B/W images. I keep coming back to them.

[HatefYaminiOnline]

Best advice ever. I was getting nervous just thinking of sticking to one format.

[robinbhairam]

😂 Im new to photography but this already resonates ... “I draw the line there!!” what an excellent video

[JCarlos.unknown]

Thanks for sharing. Simple and important.

[StephenGodfrey]

Good one Dan. Great to hear your voice again.

[Bazzasphotolife]

Great honest, video, Daniel! You're funny, to boot!

[RainMakr]

You still crack me up Dan, great video buddy - i hope you're well!

[rhonaldjohnrose]

Thanks for sharing. A timely message. I have a 5 year project (started last year) and I can see where it will end up, if I am not careful.
