"Photography is just problem solving" | A Day with Joe Howard
Joe Howard is a photographer based in London. He's been shooting since 2010 and over the past 5 years I have focused on creating work while exploring new places and visiting my childhood home in Cornwall.
Joe's work pays particular attention to light and colour in the form of observational landscapes and street photography. "I believe if the light is just right, the benign can be beautiful." - Joe Howard

“Influence is good but too much influence restricts you… go and make work without thinking about where you’re putting it and what it’s being used for and who’s going to see it” … wow, this hit hard. Fantastic interview thanks for this guys!

Thanks Peter! Glad you liked it :)
Very cool hearing Joe’s perspective. “Go and make work without thinking about where you’re putting it, what it’s being used for and who’s going to see it”. Such an important quote.
That intro goes hard! That cut on “wouldn’t be paying attention”, was powerful. Love this video, Mike.

Yeaaaah thanks man. Loved editing this.
This video is a gold mine. I've been saying how people take photos like, "that picture would do well on Instagram!" and not, "I like this picture and here's the story behind it." I did that for a while, I found that I was getting too focused on the numbers going up and being super self-critical over my work so I just never posted anything, now I take photos that I like and I can post whatever I want, however much I want, there's so much freedom in being yourself. Thanks for making this video!

He's a fellow "Outside Photographer" James. When he was struggling with "I don't really fit into a category. I don't know what kind of photographer I am". I thought "Popsys has the answer!"
I resonate with 95% of what he said (with the exception of his tepidness towards taking a bad photo, I fire away xD). It was really nice to see somebody so talented reaffirm a lot of the things I think about photography and reject so many of the negative moods and biases in the photography community. Really loved this little documentary Mike, nice job once again!
Another brilliant episode of Picture Profile and this series is exactly the reason why I love photography! Well done Mike and of course Joe Howard who's very entertaining 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great profile video. Joe comes across as such an amiable and likeable guy. Love the use of the 4x3 aspect. Pity my xt20 doesn’t shoot in 4x3.
Such a great video with lots of wise words. Really inspiring! And I love Joe's work obviously, fantastic photographer!
What an amazing vid, love Joe Howard!!!
This series is absolutely brilliant

I really enjoy this mini series of yours Mike. I'm sure you would prefer to be shooting and editing video about your own work, but all of the videos that you have produced in this series so far have been very special and very inspiring pieces of work.

Great video, lovely guy, and wise words. What on earth is that film camera, more information please!
Photo beanie!
lovely photographer this guy
Upgrade is minimal but the V is the better camera in my opinion 😅
I’m not familiar with Joe. I honestly thought this was a parody 😂. Very good regardless.
The beanie hhahahahahaahahahha
What's the filter you are using on the front?
Anyone know what camera the big one is?
having a girlfriend is just problem solving
For most … Or just take photos of what you see as you say, never log into instagram and create without it taking concepts not photos from those who went before Great summery though and I know I’m being uncommercial here .. but then I’m old, I don’t give a % about instagram, I am not and am unlikely to ever be pro, with these factors comes some of the freedom’s you espouse
What is that Filter? Which Brand is that? Does anyone know?

The filter is made by Mamiya specifically for the Mamiya 7&6 👍🏼
Joe is Paul McCartney 2.0
Could someone please tell me which filter he uses for his Mamiya 7? :)

Not sure you were paying attention 🧐. I didn’t compare myself to anyone, I was discussing the difference between seeing something and then taking a photo. 😉

I mean... you literally say you see things that others don't the way Saul Leiter did. That is a comparison
@Jwhowardphoto

Again, think you’re taking this conversation out of context. Which is cool, I shall explain for your piece of mind. I’m not comparing myself to anyone. We’re talking about how different people can see the same scene differently. There is no comparison, or better or worse. Some people really don’t like abstract photography like that and some people love it. We’re not discussing quality of work, we’re discussing how people see the world. And we all see it differently, that’s what makes it interesting. If I say Saul Leiter uses his eyes and I do also, then yes I’m comparing myself to him, and every photographer ever. Hope you can sleep well now, knowing I wouldn’t do such a thing. 😂
Sony cameras are better tho, autofocus is the new tech
very nice
