    Dan has a fantastic way of explaining story telling as a photographer -including some painful decisions you might have to make. I'd love to hear if you use these tips and the stories you tell with your own photos.

    I agree with what he says that photography must tell us something, a story. Sometimes I see photographs that are dedicated to street photography that make sounds to cause reactions or only take faces of astonished people but the environment says nothing. If I am going to take pictures of a person I like to know what he is doing if he is a craftsman, delve deeper into it and so take the photos which will have a greater meaning. And patience is the mother of all virtues.

    Love your videos ❤️ being a Canadian documentary photographer in Santiago Dominican Republic . I have had that so often "what are you doing" and Spanish is a must ... I did a week to 2 week baseball project. And a few week shoot about a small community below a bridge that lives with the constant threat of flooding from a polluted river , canal . Such a tragic situation and all alone no government support

    Does a full auto P&S camera easier to take an image that tell story than a full manual like Leica M camera?

    • @marcsilber
      @marcsilber  Před 5 lety

      It’s really your preference. Bob Holmes shoots on P for example. The main thing is knowing your camera so well that it doesn’t slow you down at that crucial moment! Or get in the way of your creativity💥
