Some family emergency and Melina having to be hospitalized is keeping me from going out to make videos. But this allows time to brainstorm new videos.
So given the channels character what are your pain points when it comes to photography that you would like to be discussed in future videos. From trivial to complex, feel free to suggest!
After two long months of going back and forth to various locations for some commissioned work it is time for some RnR. I am supposed to be on vacation but my eye is always on the lookout. A place that I have never been to before, conditions that are less than ideal for my shooting style, yet still images are everywhere.
Oh and I am finally working on a new YouTube video while I am here. Stay tuned. I know it has been a while but it will be worth it. Trust me!
I know I've been quieter than usual these past couple of weeks, and I wanted to take a moment to explain what's been going on and apologize for the lack of uploads.
I've been working on an incredible commissioned project that has completely consumed my time and creative energy. I'm documenting the folk dance culture of various regions across Greece, which has been both fascinating and demanding work. The project involves extensive research, travel, interviews, and careful documentation of these rich cultural traditions that are so important to preserve.
While I'm passionate about this work and honored to have been chosen for such an important cultural documentation project, it meant that I had to step back from my regular YouTube schedule. I know that's frustrating when you're expecting consistent content, and I really appreciate your patience.
This project will continue throughout August, so I won't be back to my full regular schedule until then. However, I'm going to try my best to squeeze in a video or two between now and then when I can find the time.
Thank you for sticking with me during this period. Your support means everything, and I'll do my best to get you some content while balancing this important project.
Question: Would it be helpful if I included the shooting info (focal length, aperture, etc.) when an image appears in a video?
📝 Feel free to expand your thoughts in the comments—I’d love to hear how much the technical side adds (or distracts) from the overall experience.
Lately I’ve seen a lot of fear around AI replacing photographers. And honestly… I think it could—but only if your work is easy to reproduce.
If you’re doing generic, mainstream images that follow trends and templates, AI might catch up. It can calculate and recreate based on what it’s been fed.
But creative vision can’t be copied. AI doesn’t see, it predicts. It doesn’t feel landscapes or chase a moment that stirred something inside.
The photographers who will thrive are the ones who bring something personal to their work. A way of seeing that isn’t borrowed.
So don’t fear AI. Fear losing touch with your own voice. That’s the only thing machines can’t steal.
What do you think—will AI reshape photography, or just weed out the surface-level stuff?
📊 Which landscape inspires you the most? 🌄🏔️🌊 I find that the environments we’re drawn to often shape our photographic vision. What’s your favorite?

Hey guys. Brainstorming time!!
Some family emergency and Melina having to be hospitalized is keeping me from going out to make videos. But this allows time to brainstorm new videos.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Is AI coming for photography?

Photography is more than just taking pictures—it’s about seeing. What’s one moment that completely changed how you see photography? 🌿✨
I’d love to hear your stories in the comments!
P.S. Mine was this as I discussed in the how I built my portfolio video.
