1
00:00:03,780 --> 00:00:06,880
All right, so that may have been a
2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,940
lot to absorb in the first two weeks.
3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,780
And if it felt a little bit like
4
00:00:11,780 --> 00:00:14,480
drinking from a fire hose, that's totally okay.
5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,340
Because this was kind of the 10,000
6
00:00:18,340 --> 00:00:22,400
foot, zoomed out, big picture view of what
7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,540
the whole puzzle looks like when it's all
8
00:00:24,540 --> 00:00:25,160
put together.
9
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,500
And the why we're doing everything we're doing.
10
00:00:29,980 --> 00:00:32,400
So next week, we're going to start zooming
11
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,780
in to the little pieces of that puzzle
12
00:00:34,780 --> 00:00:36,740
and deconstructing the how.
13
00:00:37,220 --> 00:00:38,560
Yeah, it's gonna get fun.
14
00:00:39,420 --> 00:00:40,900
But first, this week's homework.
15
00:00:41,420 --> 00:00:43,740
Okay, so this week's homework is all about
16
00:00:43,740 --> 00:00:45,080
style and voice.
17
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,160
Okay, it's about figuring out what interests you
18
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:51,960
and also what doesn't interest you.
19
00:00:52,420 --> 00:00:54,980
Okay, in the context of wedding photography, this
20
00:00:54,980 --> 00:00:56,360
is really, really important.
21
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,660
Because we often put ourselves in these boxes,
22
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:00,400
right?
23
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,960
These boxes of being wedding photographers, and we
24
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,060
create boring images like a corpseless dress shot
25
00:01:07,060 --> 00:01:08,120
hanging in a tree.
26
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,760
So what interests you is something we want
27
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,780
you to become more in tune with throughout
28
00:01:12,780 --> 00:01:15,220
the duration of this course for the next
29
00:01:15,220 --> 00:01:15,840
100 days.
30
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,520
One way we can do this is to
31
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,540
try and get in the habit every single
32
00:01:19,540 --> 00:01:23,880
day of creating before we consume for the
33
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:24,620
next 100 days.
34
00:01:24,620 --> 00:01:25,020
Right.
35
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:27,280
So that's kind of like a challenge, right?
36
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:29,100
A personal challenge, if we can set to
37
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:30,700
start to create that habit.
38
00:01:30,940 --> 00:01:31,100
Yeah.
39
00:01:31,540 --> 00:01:31,920
Yeah.
40
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,060
Because that way you won't be, you won't
41
00:01:34,060 --> 00:01:37,040
necessarily be influenced by what you think you
42
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,220
should be interested in.
43
00:01:38,220 --> 00:01:38,540
Right?
44
00:01:38,580 --> 00:01:40,100
Like when we go on Instagram, and we
45
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:43,280
look at other people's wedding work, or any
46
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,500
creative work by someone else, it's almost like
47
00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:47,620
we're focusing on what their interests are.
48
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:50,260
And it kind of skews what our interests
49
00:01:50,260 --> 00:01:50,500
are.
50
00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:50,860
Right?
51
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,080
So if we want to find our authentic
52
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,780
voice, and we want to find our style,
53
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,160
and that's probably one of the most common
54
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,160
questions we get, is how do I find
55
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:58,780
my style?
56
00:01:59,260 --> 00:02:00,440
How do I find my style as a
57
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:00,940
wedding photographer?
58
00:02:01,420 --> 00:02:04,520
Your style is photographing what interests you.
59
00:02:05,020 --> 00:02:06,920
Now our kids are amazing at this.
60
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,860
They have a very, very keen sense of
61
00:02:08,860 --> 00:02:10,860
what they're interested in, and what they find
62
00:02:10,860 --> 00:02:11,180
boring.
63
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:13,220
And so we just need to tap into
64
00:02:13,220 --> 00:02:15,800
that, tap into that, that ability that all
65
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,020
of us had when we were children.
66
00:02:17,460 --> 00:02:17,780
Yeah.
67
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,460
And we've already alluded to this, but we
68
00:02:20,460 --> 00:02:23,320
noticed that our work shifted a lot when
69
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:29,220
our interest shifted from photography, and the imagery
70
00:02:29,220 --> 00:02:33,000
we were creating, to what we were photographing.
71
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:33,500
Right?
72
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:36,200
Our humans and the stories that we were
73
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:36,820
documenting.
74
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,020
Once we were able to tap into, or
75
00:02:39,020 --> 00:02:42,200
shift our focus into that, our work grew
76
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,440
and matured into something much, much deeper.
77
00:02:44,620 --> 00:02:46,320
Really, that's why photography was invented.
78
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,940
It was invented to express an interest in
79
00:02:48,940 --> 00:02:49,640
something else.
80
00:02:50,020 --> 00:02:50,140
Yeah.
81
00:02:50,660 --> 00:02:54,520
And finding your style is such a tormented
82
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,280
topic for so many photographers.
83
00:02:57,020 --> 00:02:57,440
Right?
84
00:02:57,540 --> 00:02:58,500
Like, what's my voice?
85
00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,780
What's my style?
86
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,800
Shoot what you like, how you like.
87
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:03,980
That's your style.
88
00:03:04,660 --> 00:03:05,600
How do you do that?
89
00:03:06,380 --> 00:03:08,560
Figure out what you find interesting.
90
00:03:09,860 --> 00:03:13,960
Shoot what you genuinely find interesting, in ways
91
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,640
that genuinely interest you.
92
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:16,560
That's your voice.
93
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,120
So with that in mind, we want you
94
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,540
to make one photograph every day for the
95
00:03:22,540 --> 00:03:24,360
next week, or perhaps for the duration of
96
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:24,740
the course.
97
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,460
But one photograph every day of something that
98
00:03:27,460 --> 00:03:28,340
interests you.
99
00:03:28,700 --> 00:03:30,040
And this could be anything.
100
00:03:30,460 --> 00:03:32,280
It could be the water droplets on your
101
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:32,600
window.
102
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,640
It could be your kids' expression.
103
00:03:35,980 --> 00:03:39,660
It could be the way the wrinkles form
104
00:03:39,660 --> 00:03:40,700
around your eyes.
105
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,220
And this isn't about the that you create.
106
00:03:43,580 --> 00:03:43,680
No.
107
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,920
Okay, this is about the curiosity that led
108
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:47,320
you there.
109
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,020
Okay?
110
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,260
And the interest you paid attention to.
111
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:53,000
And don't judge about whether or not you
112
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,740
should be interested in this or not.
113
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,780
Our brains are super judgmental.
114
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:57,820
And you won't be able to turn that
115
00:03:57,820 --> 00:03:59,460
off, but you can choose to ignore it,
116
00:03:59,660 --> 00:04:00,120
at least.
117
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,160
Don't judge it.
118
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,620
Just observe what you find interesting.
119
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,340
And then photograph it.
120
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,200
And then photograph it.
121
00:04:06,260 --> 00:04:08,740
But more important than making a photo of
122
00:04:08,740 --> 00:04:10,300
it, is observing it.
123
00:04:10,980 --> 00:04:11,160
Okay?
124
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,280
Observing your curiosity about it.
125
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,019
And then let that guide you into making
126
00:04:17,019 --> 00:04:17,760
a photo of it.
127
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:18,220
Exactly.
128
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:18,860
Yeah.
129
00:04:19,060 --> 00:04:21,040
And feel free to share these in the
130
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,660
Facebook group if you want, but that's completely
131
00:04:23,660 --> 00:04:24,160
optional.
132
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,000
This isn't about, again, it's not about succeeding
133
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:27,580
or failing.
134
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:33,100
It's about giving that inner signal in your
135
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:35,040
brain some space to be heard.
136
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:35,740
Okay?
137
00:04:35,780 --> 00:04:36,720
Because it's there.
138
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,500
It's just sometimes muted.
139
00:04:38,940 --> 00:04:39,760
Well, guys, that's it.
140
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,280
You are now firmly planted on the tip
141
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:42,920
of this iceberg.
142
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,180
See you back here soon for week three
143
00:04:45,180 --> 00:04:45,840
of Two Man U.
