In this video I sit down with my friend Mavis CW who shoots street photography using her Leica M6 and Kodak Tri-X. She told me about why she loves the process of shooting and developing film and what it adds to her work as a street photographer.

Your CZcams offerings can definitely be classed as an island amidst this sea of noise.
I have to agree with you. The vast majority of the CZcams vlogs are about camera gear and technical capabilities, not about photography. Sad when talent such as Sean, Mavis, etc are drowned in the sea of mediocrity and camera talk.
I agree
100% agree. These are top-notch documentaries.
So true
Dr. Feelicks So easily true!!
One of the best free educators on the platform. Keep doing your thing man. Helping so many people out.
Bryan Birks the beautiful thing about his work too is if you follow a lot of other photo/video creators you can tell when a video is pretty much a ad for stuff and just fluff. These videos feel like you’re sitting in a coffee shop having a in depth conversation about the art of photography. It’s refreshing as hell.
Some of the photos at the end of the video literally gave me goosebumps! Inspiring.
I can relate to the butterflies when pulling the negatives out of the spool. It makes me a little giddy knowing I got the image, and also that I nailed the developing. I love film photography and digital. They both have their merits.
Mavis has put into words my exact feelings. I'm 53, been taking photos since 1979 on film and digital. Mavis has put into words what I have been experiencing since I was 14 and given a SRT101. The magic of developing that first roll of film, the smells of the chemicals, the excitement of the enlarger, watching the image appear on paper. That is the soul of film photography. Today, nothing is more satisfying than putting that roll of film into my AE1P or RB67 and walking out the door to explore and capture life. Digital is a whole different set of magic, but to me, it just isn't film. Thank you Sean, and THANK YOU Mavis! wonderful video, excellent story and now, where is that roll of film, time to make some magic!!!
The thing I most appreciate about your videos is that they are never shallow.
Where do you find these fascinating people? Mavis, Gabrielle Motola, etc. Wonderful stories! Thank you Sean!!
I really appreciate the fact that the style of the video is so congruent with the style of the photographer's work. I'm always very impressed with the quality of content from this channel. Thanks for another fantastic video.
Thanks for noticing:)
Perfectly worded 👍
Always been a fan of her work street work!!!!!
But the fact that you actually got her to be a guest on your video and let her talk about her process of street photography makes in even more interesting to watch!!!!!
Your channel has always been my favorite to go through, whether watching your newly uploaded videos, or even going through your old ones over and over again!!!!
I am thoroughly moved by the artist’s desire to illuminate a a mere snapshot of truth, and to allow others the opportunity to extrapolate the moment to fit their own truth. Beautifully told!
When I think Sean can't surprise me anymore with the quality of his content he comes up with this. Such an inspirational video.
Wagner Jacobson what’s something here surprising? It was a video about Mavis and her work... with Sean going back and forth between bashing and praising film photography, critical and seemingly bitter at some film shooters.
Thank you for allowing me and others to follow along as you go in new directions in your photography and film making. It makes photography more fun for me.
What a beautiful film, the aesthetic, movement, music and everything else just fits so well with Mavis's work.
Sean? Tri-X? Excited now!!!
Thanks buddy:) I'm more of a Fomapan guy myself, but Mavis's images are a great advocate for Tri X!
Thumbs down? Each to their own, but I enjoyed this immensely. Her passion for her craft really shines through and the subject matter is brilliant. Some real gems in her work, particularly the the steamy 'LOVE' window shot.
Out of the thousands of hours of photo videos i've watched
this is my favorite by far.
Mindfulness Sean, mindfulness at its best. I love shooting, developing, scamming and processing film, it’s the best form of meditation on the planet
I don't have enough words to thank this. I'm following @onechapter since a while so when I saw you made a video about her work with film... pure bliss!
Just a year and a half and Mavis' photography looks so purposeful and mature. Incredible. An easy follow for inspiration on IG, thanks Sean.
Mavis is absolutely amazing. Thanks for introducing me to her work.
Fantastic photographer! Thank you for making us discover her fabulous work.
Inspiring. Thank you Mavis and Sean!
The video game is on point, Sean! Love the music as well. It fits so perfectly with the vibe she brings. She's a great photographer as well!
An inspiring film and excellent follow-up to your last video on consistency. I love how you've graded this to fit with the aesthetic of Mavis' beautiful work.
Sean, I really love that you spend the time to highlight the work of other photographers. Watching your channel I’ve learned a few things about how I can improve my own photography and how I can discover what fulfills me. But these videos that you make on other photographers really adds something special to that learning experience. You can really get a sense of who these people are and what they do in your videos.
I always get excited when I see you’ve uploaded a new video. But I get extra excited when I see you’ve uploaded a video on another photographer because I know how enriching the experience will be to hear about how they go about their work.
Basically I love your videos and can’t wait to see what you will do next.
I really enjoy that it wasn't a real interview with questions and conversations and interruptions. He was silent and let her speak. Hearing that she is that fresh to it all is really amazing for what she's already hacking at. She has a lot of potential, and I hope it pays off for her.
Oh, what a great photographer and a beautiful inspiring woman, talking about her love for film photography. Thanks for sharing those nice 21:02 minutes!!
One day I will be able to completely watch one of your CZcams videos without being so inspired it brings me to tears. May God continue to bless you richly! What an amazing gift to the world :-)
Wow this was so interesting, her work is so unique I find! Really great video Sean!
You can feel her passion for what she does. Great images, great video, great photographer. Thank you for the inspiration 🤓
Love this video and also the idea of continuing to hold the camera to your eye after taking the photo.
Indeed. Actually I began doing this a lot some years ago by my own instict. Never heard about it before. After countless times doing street photography, I just began doing it. It really works
I've gotten some great photos by doing that, as well as the old fiddling with your settings while secretly shooting from the hip trick. =)
Her work is so great, I love it. I love shooting film, it's so much fun and forces me to slow down and shoot with intent. Which everyone should do anyway. I can get lazy with digital.
Love, Love, Love this video. As an early experimenter with film I found Mavis inspiring and was shocked to hear she's only been at it for a year and a half.
That rain and umbrella shot must be one of the best street photography pic I ever saw.
What beautiful work! Rich and textured and graphic. I love it. I'm also glad to hear you're working with film again. Like your guest, I love the process of film from loading film to working with the old mechanical cameras on down to developing and seeing those negatives for the first time.
First video of yours that I see, but if they are all this good, man you’re gonna see me around!
Mavis is incredible talented and inspiring! Thank you Sean for making this lovely film!
Dear Sean, these series you do with other photographers are GOLD. I get so excited when I see new videos released from you... It's so inspiring... Thank you for everything!
Wow, I think she's my spirit animal! The whole point why she choses film over digital - I could not said it better.
wow only 1.5 years of practice with film and get these results, stunning. Loved the b&w video too, beautiful.
Practice in general is good, the film part doesn’t matter much
This channel is one of the very few with value
These are really awesome! I love that you bring in people with completely different perspectives to open people up to what’s out there, beyond what is popular right this second! I really appreciate these interview style documentaries!
Thanks Alina. I'm really enjoying making them too:)
Simply amazing!!!! The words can not describe the joy I am getting from your videos! THANK YOU!!!
The best and most interesting channel on photography (that I have come across) by a country mile, thank you Sean
I really liked this video and reflects what I'm feeling at the moment about film photography. A lovely woman telling her experience of capturing a moment.
Great work, both of you. Great reminder to everyone hung up on GAS, it is the eye and the photographer's skills that create great images, not the camera. Forget about megapixels, noise, bokeh, etc, just go out to create great images like Mavis!
Another great video. Really enjoyed hearing Mavis CW talk about her photography and seeing her incredible photos.
Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing her talent, Sean.
At 17:50 when she talks about the moment she pulls the negatives while they are still drying and she gets butterflies: Wow! Did that bring back memories of my film days! There is something about shooting on film where you get a lot fewer chances to get it right. She captured it! And there is nothing like holding up that negative and then getting antsy to get into the dark room and develop that photo. Thanks, Sean, for another great video and sharing another great photographer with us.
Man, what an exquisitely crafted video. And a great introduction to Mavis' work. Thanks much!
Thank you Sean and Mavis for such an inspirational video! Amazing!!
Nestor Vazquez I agree
Just checked out her work. What a incredible photographer she is.
I am speechless, there is so much to *see* in every shot.. i've paused on every photos and I let myself be enchanted by each of them while I was reading their stories...
Beautiful black and white photography. I love that she gets so much joy from the process. Regardless of what you use to take your photographs you should enjoy the experience!Great video as always!
She's awesome - thanks for creating this and putting it up for all to see!
Just watched this again today. Been following Mavis ever since you put this video out. She's a big part of the reason why I now shoot almost exclusively black and white film with my M3. Thanks again, Sean.
Humble, articulate and talented. Lovely person. Thanks.
WOW will be purchasing one of her books soon her works looks amazing you can tell she is shooting from her soul rather than the sport of street photography.
Thanks for sharing Mavis’ inspiring work.
Man I didn't know about her and I am glad you introduced us! Her work is inspiring as a film shooter myself. I also like the way she talks, you can tell she is thinking about every word. Not because she is unsure of herself, but rather because she is contemplative and in touch with her own thoughts and emotions.
Exceptional. Your ability to capture these documentaries is really amazing as well. You talk about photography a lot, but you really have a gift w/video too. Thanks for doing what you do Sean.
Thanks Paul. That means a lot. These documentaries are my favourite sort of film to make at the moment:)
This video is both very inspiring and a joy to watch. Thank you.
Another great one :)
I rediscovered film after many years shooting digital on an old GDR camera from someones basement. It bring me so much joy shooting film!
Simply amazing! Looking forward for more film photography, it's a very relaxing break from our digital era. Thank you for that Sean and thank you Mavis!
So nostalgic. So beautiful.
This was an amazing video, I'm very glad I watched it. I wish there were more people like the two of you.
One the best video I watched on youtube, it brings you the joy of going out to the street and simply takes pictures, thank you
Thank you Sean for another stellar vlog and for introducing us to Mavis. If this is an example of her work after a year and a half I can't wait to see what else she produces. Amazing.
Wow.. You're videos always excite me, but as a film photographer myself, I have to say this one really hit me deeply.
I find myself almost apologising to people when they realise I'm not using a digital camera, but like Mavis, for me it's the whole process, not just the end result that matters. I find it so much more involved and So Much more rewarding than when I shot digital. It IS more expensive when you add up films, chemicals, good cameras and lenses, but Boy is it Satisfying!
I take my hat off to this lady and to you Sean.. Superb video 👍
35mm negatives don't crash! LOL
i have a special relationship with black and white Film, From learning how to develop and print Black and White in school. I renewed this relationship with Film photography when i studied photography. I now use film photography to round out my skill base, learn about light and shadow, learn the craft and to follow what other photographers saw in films such as Tri-X, Ilford Delta, and Kodak T=-Max
Super cool and inspirational video Mr T and Mavis CW ... still very new to photography and wrestling with digital ... but who knows? One day eh? Thanks 😊
Thank you Sean, you have taken me back in time. Most of my life has been on film, my favorite was tri-x, always dropped the ASA to 200 and develop in ID11 diluted 1-1 for 9 or 10 minutes, gave you very fine grain and better sharpness then Ilford FP4.
Great video thanks.
Thank you for story, it's wonderful. I also love the quality of the b&w "film". The tonal characteristics are lovely.
Thanks for yet another wonderful and inspiring video. I worked as a photographers assistant back in the 80:ies and have said a lot of times that I will never set my foot I a darkroom again, but for some reason you touch something in me so I´ll get my old 35mm Nikon and my 6x7 Pentax out again. Thanks so much for a great video 👍😎🌹
Fascinating interview , as always.... I really liked Mavis’s distilled thought.....”I look for people with stories on their face” . Many thanks Sean for introducing us to another great artist.
You’ve created such a beautiful film, Sean. Thank you.
Sean Tucker..You continue to outdo yourself,with intelligent,creative content,and it's refreshing,to see intelligent,talented people not worried about gear,opinions,and childish banter about camera brands/formats..Thank you...
Thanks Michael.
Jesus Christ, I love this video
Hi, Kuya
DUDE RIGHT!!!!!
Thanks for sharing Mavis' story, Sean. It's great to hear stories from a photographer who loves what she does.
Beautiful, touching story. Thanks for making and sharing it.
Great work Sean. I really appreciate your efforts in bringing such classic photography subjects to public. And All the best for your Film Photography works as well..
Your gift to this community of artists...is truly amazing!! Big Love!!
Another great job with your video production and story. It causes me to remember the early days of my personal photographic journey using black and white and then slide film from Kodak slightly before the days of the green box of Fujifilm. Very inspiring. And thank you Mavis. Keep up the good work.
02:55 - 03:00... I can't. Stop. Watching. This. Shot.
Incredible work that creates not just a pleasing look to the eye but capturing a perfect moment in time with a story.
Thank you Sean for introducing this incredibly talented photographer.
Beautiful work!
Your videos always make me feel very positive about life. Very thoughtful and you have things to say, not just about photography but life as well. “Protecting your highlights” really helped me understand the world better, and your interviews are so in depth and wonderful. Thank you for all your efforts- it makes everyday better.
I bought a cheap 35mm Olympus camera not long ago and I'm hooked now. It's a nostalgia thing for myself, but it doesn't matter what you use to capture a special moment in time.
A friend gave me an Olympus OM10 several years ago but it gathered dust in a cupboard until a few months ago when I decided to use up some old film I had stuffed at the back of my freezer. I used to process my own films several years ago in my bathroom, and I still have all the equipment, but these days I get them processed commercially. After so long using digital I was impressed with some of the images I got (unfortunately I screwed up the second roll I put in as I "rewound" the wrong way so when I opened the back the film was still exposed to the light!)
@@jimt249 I actually bought the same camera, everything was still in excellent condition and still worked. I'm just experimenting with which films like the best.
She's awesome. I would get hyped myself if i seen my own negatives. That shot of the smoke rising in nyc with the man in the midst of the smoke was classic. Shooting film would give me that nostalgic feeling of when i was a kid in the 80's and that's all we had.
Excellent interview. Your channel continues to excite and inspire, as do your guests.
Sean the only word i have for your channel is "powerful"!!! I believe your years of church service have found a new way to preach and behold something genuine in this world. I greatly appreciate every carefully chosen word, subject or person that you expose us to. I just want to thank you for continually inspiring me to look at this medium in different ways and challenging us to not just point and shoot, so thank you!
Thanks my friend.
I was only 8 years old when my dad taught me how to take photographs with our family camera, a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye. I was hooked. By the time I was 12 I was shooting a twin-lens reflex Ricoh Super 44 that my grandfather bought me. At 13 I was developing my own B&W film in a DIY darkroom under the basement stairs. My film of choice then was Kodak Tri-X 400. Now after many years of digital photography, I'm back trying it again. Feels good. I will be following you on your journey into film with great interest.
As usual, another great video from Sean! Thanks!!
Superb work especially for only shooting for a year and a half. Very impactful and compelling imagery. Also a well done and wonderfully produced video. Thank you for sharing!
Fascinating video, Sean. Perfectly in tune with the rythm of Mavis' photography. Can't believe that she has started only a year and a half ago.
Hi Sean, love your short documentary films as they are thought provoking and inspiring. Mavis is not only an extraordinarily gifted photographer she's an artist. Great work Sean, you are indeed a film maker. This is quite simply the finest photography content on CZcams.
Thank you for not making tutorials! Thank you for not doing gear reviews! And most of all, thank you for these videos, where other photographers present themselves, share their stories, their ideas, thoughts and their work! It's such a relief and a joy to watch!
It's a genuine pleasure:)
"I've only been doing this for a year and a half..." this is insane. her pictures are absolutely stunning.
High-end stuff. I really enjoy your work and that of the artists you introduce.
I'm so in love with her work. Such a helpful video. I'm just getting into film and doing street with it. I just love the learning process. It's making me love photography again after a drought for a couple of months. Thanks for a great video.
Beautiful presentation, wonderful background music, breathtaking results!
