You did a brilliant job editing this. I love how smooth everything is.
I used to be a Motion Designer. I know how many hours have been sucked in this montage to offer this beautiful video. Thanks a lot for such dedication, Jamie. Fantastic work!
I think Jamie Windsor now has the best photography channel on YouTube.
The only YouTube vlogger whose videos are works of art in themselves. Another great job
Best vertical YouTube video I've seen, nice transitions! By the way, I had never printed a photo till this year, now I got a wall full of my photos. Thanks for your work, cheers from Brazil!
Loved this Jamie - a work of art! The transitions were amazing and the message spot on..
The editing in this video is insanely good. It's finally helped me pinpoint the lingering issue I've had with instagram recently, I've always felt something wasn't quite right with presenting my work there, this finally helped me get my thoughts into a coherent idea. Brilliant video!
I was teetering on the edge of signing up for an Instagram account despite having been an analog photographer for 59 years. I've exhibited work up to 16x20 which is the largest I could do in my own darkroom and ran a communal photo gallery in the 70's. Your commentary about "experiencing" large works resonated with me. I will not bother with Instagram, no matter how "relevant" it is to photography today.
Great video Jamie. I place far too much importance on Instagram rather than appreciating my photos for what they are.
I’ve never heard of you in my life but this popped up in my recommendations and I was curious because of the title. What came next was an incredible journey of creativity mixed with wisdom and personal experience to create an incredibly beautiful experience on my phone screen.
I'm relatively young (in college) and have only been making pictures for a couple years now-- my entire idea of what makes a good photograph was originally influenced by Instagram. Now that I'm studying photojournalism and looking at much more work not on Instagram, the photographs I take are vastly different. Sometimes I still catch myself being very influenced by the platform (a tendency to arrange galleries in rows of three, for one). But photographs are indeed meant to be experienced in so many different ways, which are often impossible to achieve on Instagram's feed or grid. Fantastic video, Jaime, and another wonderfully perspective take on the medium.
I found it terribly stressful trying to work out what to post and when to post. Especially since I take photos of all sorts of things that don't really relate, all I want to do it share them. I think I'll dedicate my insta to the sorts of photos that do well on there like photos of people. All I have to do know is stress out about what hashtags to use. I think I would much rather it didn't exist but I feel like I won't be successful without it.
You do one of the best video edits on yt that I have seen, awesome job! Pleasure to watch. Thanks!
I bought your presets and I couldn’t be happier with the way they enhance my images... I’ve been following you for quite some time now and you have opened my mind in various capacities via photography and content creation as a whole... Your perspective of Instagram is spot on. I hope that many in addition to myself will see the value in your words... They are expensive... Good on You, Sir!
Nice touch with the vertical ratio and the Instagram GUI. 👌 Love your content, man. So thoughtful.
Very good video! Instagram is a very frustrating place because it's easy to get attention and following but hard to share your true vision there. I mostly do carefully composed panoramics and large landscapes where you could spend a while looking at things. In some places you'd like to take a photo montage that shows different aspects of the same place and show them side by side but that indeed does not work in Instagram at all. Also digital paintings with lots of love put into details which are lost in phone screen.
Excellent Jamie, I also hate how Instagram crops everything to hell
I am a nurse and my life is the life and death and sickness of other people. I first got involved with photography as a means of escape and for the joy but also i am deeply attracted to the technical aspect as my mind inhabits that space constantly. Never once did I think of myself of an artist or with someone who had a story to tell or if anyone could experience my work. Thank you for opening my eyes to what can be.
I felt so attacked at the 1.4 part, since I just got a new lens, I'm definitely in a 1.4 phase...
