The renowned Australian photographer chooses 10 of his most memorable images and explains why they had an impact. He is talking at Aperture, the southern hemisphere’s largest photography conference, held from 22 to 23 June in Sydney Perfectionism is one of the most costly traits if it isn't strictly necessary,” DeArco says. “Often times we get caught up hyperfocusing on the wrong things – making us unproductive as photographers and creatives.”

I thought the takeaway was not so much about GEAR as it was about getting something DONE, and not obsessing over minute 'flaws' in the images...about focusing on what the "client" values, as opposed to what other photographers might say is lacking or sub-par in specific cases.Agreed, however, GAS does drive the gear market, and I have had a case or two of GAS over the years. A couple years ago, I sold off a lot of excessive gear, and now am down to apprx. 30-40 lenses and one d-slr that I use for 'serious work ' (D800) plus the D610 as my "lo-rez" camera or for snaps when I am not super-serious about things. I also use the iPhone SE as my snapshot camera now, and have quit using my Canon G-series, Nikon CoolPix, and Panasonic P&S 4-12 MP models.

I have bouts of GAS...just picked up a used fuji x-t100 on eBay, which will make 4 fujis now...havent picked up any new lenses in a while. I MAY consider getting rid of the x-a1 and maybe the 15-45 ois pz kit lens that is coming with the x-t100....although, i heard the kit pz lens is actually pretty decent At least he got some good advice from a more experienced photographer when she asked him 'What are you doing??' I feel like asking that a lot... But the posting & sharing etc. is nothing new to try to promote oneself, and life handing you an opportunity that develops into something is nothing new either; I've done the same thing, it's a matter of going for it when getting the opportunity.

I don't think it's what he thinks it is; peer judgement - maybe, but for me, who cares?? I appreciate feedback from someone whose opinion I value, otherwise, who cares??! lol Perfectionism - that has nothing to do with gear to me, that's me driving myself nuts nitpicking thru my own work, and wanting my work to be good and to keep getting better. Industry standards - again to me that has nothing to do with equipment; in sports they don't care how you get the pictures or what beat up camera you're dragging around, they want what they need and in a timely manner.

I don't see a need for even a back up camera much less all that other stuff since this is every week (unless there's something specific that day) and the person with the camera equipment isn't a working pro. Hmm, The Photographer's Paradox isn't a click-baity title?? lol does he think that's any less so than the example he gives? Maybe it's better than some but he seems to be doing the same thing he criticizes, I think videos like this are to get followers and a cut of the money from ads that accompany the videos. Then to top it off, to get on Patreon and get followers to give money there too... I have yet to understand why people would give money when you aren't buying a product, you're not receiving a service, this isn't a charity... I can't see paying someone for their 'musings'.

The video guy built up from 0 followers on Instagram to 4,000 followers in a _very_ short time frame (seven weeks). If it is true that 81% of Americans have at least ONE social media account, and that 41 % of Americans have _interacted_ with a business thruough social media, we might look at social media a bit differently in the next and upcoming decades. I remember well the days before almost 93-97% of the world's population had a mobile phone, and when land lines,telephone directories, printed newspapers, and paper classified ads looked as if their place in industrial/modern life would be permanent.

IT is fashionable here on TPF to dismiss social media in much the same way as our great-grandparents dismissed "those darn horseless carriages", or the way our parents/grandparents dismissed, "that awful rock n' roll music" (1950's)or that, "long-haired, hippie music"(1960s-1970s)..turns out they failed to realize they were in the midst of revolutions...
