Tech and Devices with Ivan Kam

Fujikina 2026 is October 16-18 in New York City. In this Bryan Minear interview, we cover the Fujikina event, his favorite Fujifilm lenses, infrared, post-production, and the creative challenges he is honest enough to talk about.Bryan has been an official Fujifilm X-Photographer for years, and in 2024 he joined the Fujifilm US marketing team. That gives him a rare view of the brand from both sides. We talk about what Fujikina actually is (a photography festival, not a trade show), what a first-timer should do with a $10 ticket, and why the International Center of Photography, Magnum Photos, World Press Photo, and FotoFest are all part of it.Then we get into the photography. The X100 that changed his career. Why he sold his 50-140 for the 70-300. His one tip for the GF 500mm f/5.6. Where he draws the line on AI. And the one photograph he wants his kids to have forty years from now.== FUJIKINA INFO ==Info and Registration: https://shopusa.fujifilm-x.com/fujikina/Fujifilm Media Info: https://www.fujifilm.com/us/en/news/fujifilm-celebrates-200-years-of-photography-at-fujikina-new-york-2026== BRYAN MINEAR INFO ==Website: https://bryanminear.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bryanminearThreads: https://www.threads.com/@bryanminear📔 Table of Contents0:00 Cold open: the snowbank photo0:25 Meet Bryan Minear1:09 From X-Photographer to Fujifilm's marketing team2:29 What Fujikina actually is4:39 Galleries and partners at Fujikina New York6:17 First-timer tips, loaner gear, and the $10 ticket8:32 Shooting Prague with Jonas Rask10:36 The stories behind three photos12:55 Death Valley, family, and the Prague trip14:13 Infrared and the color green15:52 Postmodern luminism explained17:02 The X100 that changed everything18:47 GF 500mm tip: get low to the ground20:23 Lenses worth fighting for23:12 Post-production: RAW, JPEG, and LumaChrome25:57 Luminosity masking a cloudscape27:05 Where Bryan draws the line on AI28:51 Advice for new Fujifilm shooters30:05 The creative rut and imposter syndrome30:30 365 projects and The Traveler32:58 A first-ever portfolio review33:53 Balancing kids and the perfect shot35:51 Two pieces of advice from Chris36:25 The one photo for his kids40:39 Fujikina dates, tickets, and the subway gallery42:36 Wrap-up

Tech and growing on YouTube in 2021 from Ivan Kam. Ivan also discusses tech product trends and the daily grid of producing tech reviews. HINT: The #1 factor in long term YouTube growth is not chasing trends, catchy titles, or spammy thumbnails. Rather, it's about doing the HARD WORK each day to produce your videos on a regular, consistent basis. Focus on what YOU can control, e.g., how often you upload --- and by doing that, the views and subscribers will come.
