There's such a huge benefit to having friends to drag you out for a photo shoot, but is that the path to taking your very best photos? Enjoy! Welcome to Vlog No. 084. * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe My name is Ewen Bell and I am a LUMIX Australia Ambassador and an Ambassador for Sigma Photo. #EwenTube #Photography #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

Sharing is caring. Today's discussion begins by asking "Why do we share photos?" and ends up with 16 minutes of oversharing. Enjoy! Welcome to Vlog No. 085. * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe My name is Ewen Bell and I am a LUMIX Australia Ambassador and an Ambassador for Sigma Photo. #EwenTube #Photography #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

Lots of feedback this week about when sharpness matters in choosing a lens, and when it doesn't. It's very easy to focus too much on the lens, when there might actually be more important factors that influence your photography. Welcome to Vlog No. 094. * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe My name is Ewen Bell and I am a LUMIX Australia Ambassador and an Ambassador for Sigma Photo. #EwenTube #Photography #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

What is it about the the large sensor and even larger price tag of Medium Format camera systems that draws us in like moths to the flame? Welcome to Vlog No. 095. * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe My name is Ewen Bell and I am a LUMIX Australia Ambassador and an Ambassador for Sigma Photo. #EwenTube #Photography #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

How do you setup your camera when you want to capture in Aperture Priority, but still keep a little control over the shutter speed? This question came from someone who owns a LUMIX S5II, but the solution can be applied to pretty much any mirrorless camera these days.. * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe #EwenTube #Photography #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

Perhaps I should have called this one “Does the internet rot your brain?” because we’re taking a little time out to contemplate what it was like to learn the art of photography before digital cameras, and before Tik Tok made the world addicted to 20 second video clips. * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe #EwenTube #Photography #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

Cameras are loaded with features that make photography a little bit easier, and a little bit more accurate. Shooting manual is great for some techniques, and for some people. But it's not for everyone. For beginners especially, the pressure to "shoot manual" can undermine their creative path. * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe #EwenTube #Photography #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

More questions than answers in this episode. We're taking a look at the struggles a photographer can face after 25 years of a freelance career, and trying to find a sense of belonging when you are a temporary feature instead of a permanent fixture. * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe #EwenTube #Photography #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

If you are struggling to find your creative path, or let your mojo flow to release your creativity, the missing ingredient may actually be the very thing you avoid. A little bit of structure can open the door to letting your full creative potential take flight. This is my 100th episode by the way. Which means my first YouTube went up about two years ago, and I've been numbering my podcasts/vlogs in sequence from that starting point. I'll pop open a Yuzu Soda to celebrate tonight :) Welcome to Vlog No. 100. * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe #EwenTube #Photography #CreativeVsReactive #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

For too long we've had the subscription model forced upon us to access software like Lightroom or Capture One. There are genuine alternatives for editing your photos, and you might find they're even better than what you're currently using. All I ask is that you take a look for yourself. * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe #EwenTube #Photography #CreativeVsReactive #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

How hard can it be really? What do you need to know when starting your journey from photography to video? This is a broad explainer on how deep you might be diving once you take the plunge. I'll be taking a look at frame rates, the 180 degree shutters, codecs, editing and audio. * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe Here's a few of my favourite YouTube people to help you dig deeper into the world of Video: Curtis Judd - Audio https://www.youtube.com/@curtisjudd Mr Alex Tech - Davinci Resolve https://www.youtube.com/@MrAlexTech Casey Faris - Davinci Resolve https://www.youtube.com/@CaseyFaris Josh Cameron - H265 vs RAW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sydT8Excfl4 Kither + Co - 180° Shutter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Boz7ik-cUec Dunna Did It - VLog Gamma https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjEs0JdkzAY That Little LUMIX S9 shooting video in Japan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdb8Cqmw5Xw #EwenTube #Photography #CreativeVsReactive #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

Some folks think professionals must know a whole bunch of shortcuts to make photography easier. While it's true we tend to work smarter, not harder, we still have to put in the work. And there are tangible benefits to taking the high road instead of the shortcuts. * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe #EwenTube #Photography #CreativeVsReactive #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

Usually on social media the golden rule is "Never read the comments", but things are a little bit different in the Fediverse. I had a bunch of thoughtful and insightful responses to yesterday's video (Vlog 085) and so today I wanted to walk through some of the great ideas people shared with me. Welcome to Vlog No. 086. * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe My name is Ewen Bell and I am a LUMIX Australia Ambassador and an Ambassador for Sigma Photo. #EwenTube #Photography #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

Social media has changed the way we consume photography as an art form, and not necessarily for the better. YouTube as a medium for exhibiting your photos, and creating an experience for others to enjoy photography is my personal favourite right now. As mentioned in the video, here's my favourite YouTube that I posted about Penguins at Macquarie Island :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKmKZJCHWJM * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * Podcast Version: https://ewenbell.com/podcast #EwenTube #Photography #YouTube #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

Capturing the Northern Lights is a very technical photography experience. You'll be facing challenging conditions and sometimes things will go wrong. Sometimes it's better to plan for fun instead of planning for perfection.

There's nothing easy about choosing a freelance life as a photographer. But for me the rewards definitely outweigh the challenges. I've made it through 25 years of being self-employed, and it turns out that my ADHD Brain has been a big part of making this gig work. * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * Podcast Version: https://ewenbell.com/podcast #EwenTube #Photography #YouTube #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography #Nordlys #Auroras #NorthernLights

We're almost there folks, the end is in sight. I've been hiding away in the Himalayas for a couple of months but I'm back again and planning to share a tonne of gorgeous photos in the coming weeks and months. * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * Podcast Version: https://ewenbell.com/podcast #EwenTube #Photography #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePodcast

On a morning walk in the Himalayas I explore the ethos of "go slow" and how my style of photography has changed over the years. No need to chase the photos when they come to you. The slower I take it, the better my photography gets. * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * Podcast Version: https://ewenbell.com/podcast #EwenTube #Photography #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePodcast

I love sharing my photography and am always looking for new ways to make the experience of viewing photography more rewarding. Maybe a photo zine will bring some of the joy that social media doesn't? * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe #EwenTube #Photography #Zine #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

Join me for a shopping trip online to find a great bargain on second-hand camera gear. We'll talk about pre-loved gear from Sony, Nikon, Lumix, Leica, Hasselbad and Canon. Plus a few things to watch out for when you an online deal that looks too good to be true. * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe #EwenTube #Photography #Zine #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

I have struggled to find my mojo for a while now, but recently something happened that really turned things around. It was good news for me, and perhaps it could be a useful perspective for your mojo too. I usually share my photos and ideas about photography on my channel, but today I'm sharing a few home-truths about life in the freelance lane. Apologies also that on the day I recorded my primary mic failed and I had to cobble the audio together off the backup mic and it was a little over-baked. Oh well, loads of lessons to learn this week! * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe #EwenTube #Photography #Zine #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

Deep dive into the good and not so good issues when travelling around Japan on an small expedition ship trying to capture photos. I'll share some advice to get the most from your journey, and share a bunch of lovely images from my recent gig with Heritage Expeditions. * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe #EwenTube #Photography #Zine #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

Why was I looking to get out and walk a little bit, make some friends, and find some community? When I started looking, the cupboard was bare, except for one group on the far reaches of Melbourne's suburbs. Where have all the other photo walks gone? *** Find me online for the Photo Zine, my images and tours, or search for me on YouTube where I post gear reviews and photo essays: https://ewenbell.com/ #EwenTube #Photography #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

There is a lesson here for stills photography just as much as video. We often focus so much on the camera gear that we overlook some of the fundamentals when it comes to photography.

What happens when you finally get off subscription pricing? What is life like in a post-Adobe world? The biggest fear people have about changing their editing software is not being able to go back and access all that work they have already put into the file. We're hanging onto the possibility of going back to our old edits, instead of looking forward to new possibilities. This episode was originally recorded for my YouTube channel, but it's a good fit for this podcast too. Reminder that my discount code for DxO PhotoLab is "EWENBELL15". If you're going to purchase some DxO products feel free to use this code and save yourself some money. I get a little commission as well, which helps keep my YouTube channel running.

The new July 2026 edition of my Photo Zine is out now. Loads of lovely monochrome images from Melbourne. In this podcast I'm talking about some of the forces behind the scenes that are encouraging me to get out onto the streets of Melbourne, and how a new ultra-wide lens is changing my perspective on the city. *** Find me online for the Photo Zine, my images and tours, or search for me on YouTube where I post gear reviews and photo essays: https://ewenbell.com/ #EwenTube #Photography #StreetPhotography #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

This podcast episode is an audio verison of my recent YouTube video, but it definitely works just as audio. It was recorded as a very long chat to help beginners find a path forward with photography. It's also proved popular with experienced photographers as well though, and I hope you will enjoy a walk in the park or a nice pot of tea to share with this discussion. You can find the YouTube version here if you want to see some of the photos too: https://youtu.be/x480fxJoFlw *** Find me online for the Photo Zine, my images and tours, or search for me on YouTube where I post gear reviews and photo essays: https://ewenbell.com/ #EwenTube #Photography #StreetPhotography #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

Some thoughts today on why perfection is over rated and why we don't ncessarily benefit from focusing on what is the "right" way to do something, or which bit of kit is the "best". *** Find me online for the Photo Zine, my images and tours, or search for me on YouTube where I post gear reviews and photo essays: https://ewenbell.com/ #EwenTube #Photography #StreetPhotography #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

This episode began with the idea of how we keep working at our craft even though we might not yet be very good at it. Because the only way to get better is to keep going. But sometimes in life we need to stop and take stock, and ask ourselves "Are we any good at this?" *** Find me online for the Photo Zine, my images and tours, or search for me on YouTube where I post gear reviews and photo essays: https://ewenbell.com/ #EwenTube #Photography #StreetPhotography #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

I was recently asked for some practical advice on composition. Not just the standard rules and theories, but something useful to guide your photography when you're out on the street and can't find a path forward.

Lens technology has come a long long way over the past decade and most lens makers are producing quality and performance that we could only dream of when shooting DSLR. How well do the older lenses stand up tin the era of mirrorless camera systems?

We worry too much about tech specs and reviews when shopping for a camera. You're not trying to buy the best camera ever made, you're looking for the best camera to suit YOU. My advice is always the same... buy the camera you love. *** Find me online for the Photo Zine, my images and tours, or search for me on YouTube where I post gear reviews and photo essays: https://ewenbell.com/ #EwenTube #Photography #StreetPhotography #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography

Today I want to talk about photography in terms of reality, art, politics and Susan Sontag. Sontag was a writer and critic who wrote a lot about culture and photography during the 1970s. She had some sharp observations on the art of photography and I share a few of those quotes here, and how they have inspired me. *** Find me online for the Photo Zine, my images and tours, or search for me on YouTube where I post gear reviews and photo essays: https://ewenbell.com/ #EwenTube #Photography #StreetPhotography #PhotographyVlog #ReImaginePhotography
