Joe Buissink’s photography is about capturing the moments, and the essence of the person in those moments. His work redefines wedding photography, and has been described as “Fine Art.” Joe began photographing weddings because he was drawn to the open and honest display of emotions. He considers himself a “seeker of truth” at weddings – searching intently for those rare and intimate moments between loved ones. This search has not only defined Joe’s style of photography, but has also guided his passion and has become the driving force behind what Joe considers his greatest obsession.

You have no idea how incredibly happy and grateful your video has made me. This is ME 100% and for a while I thought I was crazy because everyone around me thinks differently. Until I watched your video and statements and I couldnt thank you enough for sticking to what we True Artists believe and Remind me of the Reason why I started doing Art and Photography in the first place: for LOVE OF IT. If I could ever meet or assist, or just watch one your lectures, I would be truly honored. Thank you! AmAvelloPhotography@gmail.com

Hello Joe, I really like your channel especially all the topics. Hope you sub back. thanks!

Helpful
This is very emotional learning. This should be standard to watch for all photographers.
wow you have so much passion Joe, I wish someone could photograph you in the moment without you knowing. Thank you so much Joe Buissink, this was so inpirational. I have wondered why I get emotional while photographing weddings, it is like you said, you are part of the moment shared between the couple. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!
This guy is the biggest name dropper, not to mention an ego maniac whose shit must not stink. As a wedding photographer who shoots journalistic, he sets up a series of wedding shots to his audience, then shows the images. He expects a standing ovation after each series. For example, he sets up a beach wedding where he talks the bride & groom into walking out into the water ankle deep. Just the bride, groom & officient are out there. No one else can really see or hear the wedding. Then his images are typical of the 10 year old's work. He stuff is above average at best. He shoots film, so he expects stuff to be less than great. I don't know if he knows how to focus his camera. And heaven forbid he ever has a horizon level. He could never be the 1st shooter, because his work is trying to catch "other" shots. Therefore, a bride must hire 2 additional photographers if she hires Joe Blow. As in "Blows his own horn" Joe. And then to tell people to shoot in Program mode. I thought you were the king of unique. His statement right off the bat, ""I will sacrifice sharpness ANYTIME to capture the moment…anytime.", says so much. You don't have to sacrifice sharpness at almost anytime to capture a moment. You just need to be ready.
He said and showed more about photography than anyone else before not even mentioning camera, settings or any other technicality….Pure art and more than that…
You know the love, sincerity, passion and feeling coming from the couple multiplies the passion, motivation and creativity of the photographer. Don't book flat, passionless brides and grooms. It matters so be picky about your clients.
Thank you. For the inspiration, for the encouragement, for permission to be myself. I found this by accident, but it was perfect timing. Exactly what I needed to hear.
That slide show!!!! OMG!!! Right in the feels!!!
Whenever I get ready to shoot a wedding, I always go back and watch Joe. Not so much for the Fstop and Shutter speed stuff but just for his enthusiasm. It gets me fired up.
Thanks Joe.
Best workshop from B and H I've watched.. very motivational and inspiring. All photographers should watch this.
Makes me wanna become a wedding photographer !!!
Its amazing to hear the passion in this vid…so refreshing
P mode = Photojournalism mode
I am not sure why, but I am so touched by his presentation.
"I will sacrifice sharpness ANYTIME to capture the moment…anytime." Words to live by, photographers.
What an amazing slide show!
Dammm Dammm Joe, I thought being over 250 Lbs I was very tough hard nose guy. Those last slideshows had me in tears. Wow photography is powerful… Thanks for sharing
After watching this I can say there is no point in watching anyone else. You have reminded me why I picked up a camera. Thank you soooooooo much for your advice and sharing your priceless & intimate photographs.
This is superb – watching it in chunks and it's resonating
amazing
It’s really helps when I want something quick. Step by step explanations are easy to follow and very helpful in learning new techniques that I can apply to my own photos. It’s more than a Photoshop book though it has a lot cool and handful hints. It's great to have a detailed reference like this one to flip through to find exactly what I need.

Great video!
Though I don't share all the opinions or the disapproval for some techniques, is very inspirational. I think that great passion, too, can blind us about seeing the beauty in other techniques or ways than ours. On the positive side, there's a lot to learn from this talk. Thank you for sharing with us !!!
I'm shooting my first wedding later this year and I am BEYOND nervous. What an amazing time to stumble across this amazing video.
Just amazing!
….photography and advice! Thank you!
A few thoughts: I understand the philosophy of sacrificing sharpness to capture the moment – if you absolutely have to- but just what is wrong with having both the moment and sharpness? It is possible, indeed more than possible. While I appreciate his passion, I'm not so sure I agree with the slight taint of elitism in this presentation – it's subtle but it is there. I agree with knowing your gear but disagree with his disparagement of those who use photoshop to create their art. One one hand he supports being yourself in the creation of your art but on the other hand he mocks those who do just that. Again, it's subtle but it is there. Don't get me wrong, I did for the most part enjoy the presentation but was disappointed as well.
