I would really love to see a video where you shoot 35mm street photography and talk about your experience

[@zachnahshel]

i agree with Deez Nutz. i also would be interested in seeing how you go about shooting with 35mm.

[@Ro_Dolfo]

Deez Nutz does have a valid point. I think we’d all enjoy watching you document your experience.

[@RodrigoVazquez91]

Things to do in quarantine: Watching as many Willem videos as possible

[@jesseweijn3510]

Rodrigo Vazquez Same here hahaha

[@schmeatclips]

The kid playing baseball photo is beautiful. I get some heavy Norman Rockwell vibes from it

[@gogol44260]

I especially love that you express your feelings without telling me what to feel. What I really like is that your style match with you, you are not trying to be someone else and from my experience that's the most difficult part. Please don't explain your style, please don't adapt to us, keep going, that's great to follow you and what you like. And you definitely have the right to struggle. Thanks for bringing us into your life and photography.

[@WillemVerb]

Means so much! Thanks for the comment this was nice to hear

Really love this story-telling style of videos. keep up the great work.

[@WillemVerb]

Glad to hear! My personal favorites to make as well. Thank you :)

[@newdinii]

Your photos are so quite and peaceful, could you do a photo challenge like shooting with dslr

[@WillemVerb]

I actually should ;)

[@PaulDoesIt]

@@WillemVerb would really love to see that

[@tinoflad4569]

@@WillemVerb I'm from Germany, i'm in. Let's do it. hahaha Cheers!

[@elias-jq7gj]

Yeah willem! You should a video with dslr

[@mattdayphoto]

Yeeeaaah, these photos rip. Stoked for the episode of The Photo Breakdown!

[@tommyfoolery]

“These photos rip” cmon man

[@mattdayphoto]

Tommy Richards Cmon what?

[@mylesross1718]

@@tommyfoolery huh

[@tommyfoolery]

Matt Day don’t use ‘rip’ to describe a photo.. keep that term in the realm of action sports

[@mylesross1718]

Tommy Richards nah man gotta agree with matt, these photos definitely rip haha

[@joaosanchez2752]

Don't even know you personally and I'm proud of your growth on KZbin and more importantly as a photographer. Very clean work man!

[@sushitraxh6736]

the photos are magical. something that a DSLR or a mirrorless camera can't have

[@californiabummer6063]

MORE TECHNICAL STUFF ON NIGHT TIME PHOTOGRAPHY pls. Those shots were so sick. Killing it Willem 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@jbroome51791]

I love watching your videos on your process and your outlook on photography! You understand how everyone has their own way of doing things but you explain what works for you! Keep up the great work Willem

[@Maxwellfranklinbeck]

Really enjoyed the point of going into a session with an open mind and just having fun with your craft.

[@412foto]

Great decisive moment with the kids playing baseball in the backyard! Really puts this image at a whole other level!!

[@DJTV30]

This was great. Its so cool to see your favorite shots, since they mean so much to you.

[@DualPixelCreative]

Really enjoying the way you breakdown all of your recent work & can't wait to see more of this series!

[@mylesross1718]

every single time i watch one of your videos i get a wave of inspiration to go out with my camera and make photos and its caused me to shoot more than i normally would and i can't thank you enough for that, man. keep it up willem you're killing it.

[@flachtsix]

Couldn’t put it better on why I love night shots on film!! Beautiful work, Willem.

[@shaarcia7616]

enjoyed hearing your descriptions of your photos. the shots give me a new perspective of my jersey neighbors.

[@michaelnguyen8782]

Wow that photo just after sunset with the car and house is so beautiful!!!!

[@JacklyinRu]

What I love about photography is watching wether it is people, buildings or little details that sometimes we don´t pay attention to because we are so rushed all the time. For me its very relaxing to just watch and see thing that maybe nobody sees. Thats what I like about your style.

[@user-tu8gg2cp4q]

No words, that's fantastic) great job and keep going!

[@squidseq]

Great video. I often find going out and just freeshooting without any concepts in mind produces interesting results. I always find myself seeing something and getting super excited about a shot. Love that feeling. Keep it up!

[@nicholasjoewilliams8772]

Hey man, I really appreciate you showing what you liked about you're pictures and giving us a look at what your process was. These videos are a great insight.

[@bobsykes]

Wow, Willem! The work from this trip is beautiful! Watching this is has made me realize that the most important thing I need to learn is how to be able to see the simple things around me with such an open and creative mind. I don’t know how you do it. Your videos are an inspiration.

[@radicaleyemag]

Not. A. Single. Scooter. Great vid though bud, loving the blue hour stuff!

[@WillemVerb]

HAHHAHA Unsub if you have to

[@mohamedashian604]

It’s pictures like yours that makes me love film even more than I already do good job 👍 👍👍👍👍

[@luisdmatas]

I like the passion when you talk about photography

[@aaronmoiche330]

I can’t get over how beautiful the pastel colours you get in your photos are man they’re so cool

[@DontaeCatlett]

Another dope video thanks for dropping your thoughts on perspective, color, lighting, and geometry

[@ishawang9667]

That patrol station one,,, really Hopper-esque! Thank you for showing us your photos, all of them were beautiful, especially your attention to colour :)

[@RS-Amsterdam]

Beautiful shots, love film !! Thanks for sharing.

[@GarryTan]

This video is super inspiring. I am already incorporating some of the ways you think about photos into my own photography, and I find that when I am walking around in San Francisco I am starting to see the layers and compositions and colors in a brand new way. Thanks for your work, it’s amazing.

[@jamesonnorth]

These are great. I've been watching your videos for a long time, and the photos are really inspirational for me and my photography. They've been helpful in getting me back behind the lens. Keep up the good work.

[@keithholmes4931]

Always great vids. Love the colours your photos seem to have cinematic quality to them great work Mr v

[@10Outta10Baby]

Outstanding Willem. Amazing shots. Keep it up.

[@smalltalk.productions9977]

thanks for the effort and the sharing. your use of color was wonderful. you really did have a good day. thumbs up.

[@LauraWithACamera]

Love the night time pictures 😍 the cinefilm ones actually turned out so well despite the low film speed, that one of the fence is insane

[@xfiles.]

watching your videos are so calming, it's like the patience it takes to shoot film radiates into the video through your story telling && could you do a video about shooting film at concerts??

[@Kokorba6iqta]

Gradually I am almost getting an addiction to your videos. They are so inspiring. I shoot mostly people and have never thought much of the beauty of our surroundings, the great compositions and stories that one can see and capture.

[@benny742]

Super nice video, Willem. Really like this approach!

[@worstcoast]

Thank you for sharing your process and thoughtful reflections in each of your videos; they all really inspire and encourage me to continue my photography and to never stop learning about myself and the art of it. I think this is my favorite video you've done yet, especially once you started talking about your experience shooting at night! It even made me a little emotional to be honest haha

[@NicolasChae]

Definitely some of your best shots yet bro

[@johnleftwich650]

Great video. I love this kind of relaxed casual shooting.

[@eduardolujano439]

I really enjoy your work and inspires me to keep taking photos and try new things

[@phrdia]

I just got crazy thinking about the 4 minutes exposure, it was an amazing picture. I loved it

[@tenthousandbees10000]

Love the new photos, wow, killing it

[@coreyfelts5882]

Love what you’re doing my guy. Saw your video about developing film a couple of weeks ago and it definitely inspired me to start doing that. Keep it up!

[@irinacojocaru3650]

The pictures are stunning!!

[@oscarpeh9367]

So many beautiful shots, especially once the sun went down. Really loved the ice-cream parlour shot, the red reflection on the pavement looks so special. Nice work man!!!

[@analogbeing1106]

Love it. Love the photos man, love the technical aspect of this video. 💕

[@PhilKnall]

Another great vid! Love those night shots, they’re so different from what I would take.

[@InkscapeAB]

I love this insight into your process. Great video!

[@B1GDaddYJOe]

These photos are so phenomenal man, very inspiring!

[@ontheoriginof]

This body of work reminds me of Joel Meyeorwitz's book "Cape Light". Really love these photos Willem!

[@jsdhesmith2011]

You taught me a lot in this video! I’ve accidentally exposed, too long, on some night shots, and also achieved an unnatural but intriguing shot only to discard it for being different. I’m gonna practice this technique more often. Too often I find myself putting the camera up after the sun has set, letting the residual light burn away, but not anymore. Thanks man!

[@andgainingspeed]

👍 for long exposures and shooting in the dark, when everything takes on an otherworldly look. Challenging but fun!

[@junkybreakfast9962]

Amazing video and beautiful pictures. Keep making videos where u show more of your photography and u speak about it just like this one.

[@AwesomeCameras]

We had a Cadillac just like that one when I was a kid! Damn that brought back memories! I bet there's still MacDonald's french fries I. The back seat cracks wherever that thing is now :)

[@WillemVerb]

Ah dude thats so sick! :))

[@renaldyfernando5834]

love this set so much !

[@lostboymemoirs]

Just ordered some CineStill 800 after watching a bunch of your videos. I've been struggling with being stationary (normally a traveler) and trying to figure out what to take photos of in small town Rhode Island. Watching your videos have given me a ton of ideas just finished 3 rolls here and seeing life in small town suburbia a lot different. Going to try my first attempt at night film photography so thanks for the constant inspo.

[@redaalalawi]

Really love Story-telling style great work man ❤️❤️❤️

[@elderinmoi1571]

Very interesting to hear your thoughts about your photos. Thanks for sharing. Because you ask, I like the narrative style along with some technical details but emphasis on the narrative part. And images of course. I want to see images 😃

[@amg231]

Good stuff Willem! It’s cohesive and makes a lot of sense

[@stefanriegel9099]

Well done video. I love the pictures ... great work.

[@joshfynbos]

Man these photos are great! Thanks for sharing !!

[@belalang90]

Love all your pictures bro. Great work!

[@StephenMilner]

Hey, what an awesome video. Keep up the great work! I look forward to your next video.

[@vickysofyanr]

More of these please, this makes me really motivated to take more photos especially at night with tripod!

[@alidias]

yo I think these might be some of my favourite of your photos !!! SO GOOD!

[@WillemVerb]

Thank youuuu!! :))

[@vava3203]

Great video, even better photos, damn!

[@thekingofbupkis2230]

Damn dude your entire channel is, well to put it straight, an aesthetic... With that being said love the videos keep up the good work

[@rudyvelez1741]

Interesting how you can make something out of regular things...& the way you describe them gives them some meanings

[@TheMPhotography]

Very cool Willem. I love the photos and the style a lot. Keep it up.

[@ms6465]

Great pictures, this is the kind of video I enjoy the most :)

[@muschihai44]

this video was so interesting for every second i watched.

[@andersblomster]

I think this is one of your better videos. Both in terms of the images produced but also the video itself. Keep up the good work!

[@bobsykes]

I forgot about this video until just now. This is amazing! I hope you still release the New Jersey project on a book or prints, even though you have moved on.

[@IlBella_]

Thank you William. I really like your video, are clean and really inspiring. Thanks because of you i realized how the simple and ordinary things can be extraordinary. As amateur photographer i want try film photography too. I would like to see you shooting in busy scenario, im just curious of it. All the best and look forward for your book. Pace!

[@sudarg5005]

Great video My favourite shot was the one of the ice cream shop. For future videos it would be interesting to hear more about your thoughts on composition and creativity. I like how detailed you get when explaining why a photo is interesting and how you thought about taking that shot.

[@aanhongx9065]

After watching your video absolutely will try to shooting in the nighttime more. Love your video !! Keep the good work !! Sending support from Bruges,Belgium 🙏

[@hoseoksuns334]

love love love love it 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@mmh53]

Hey Willem, I really love your night time photography. I just filmed an episode (not yet released) of shooting night time in the suburbs of Vienna and your instructions on doubling the exposure time really helped, thanks a lot for that.

[@TheWutangclan1995]

The photo of the kid playing baseball is my favorite! I'm a sucker for composition and small details that requires you to look at it again and it does both.

[@tillyxx6980]

id love to see a video where you do like a beginners guide to film photography , kind of explaining the basics of film , what some of the technical stuff means and good cameras to begin with xx

[@kristjan100]

Not clickbaity at all, liked this one, exactly what you'd expect from the title and so much more

[@Dre_On_Film]

Just woke up to another banger!!!!

[@youtubetest386]

The Atlantic inn photo is sooo fireeee! I’d buy that print

[@Gelineyeah]

The photos with the cinestill came out great! 💯

[@georgetur3511]

Those were great shots of the jersey shore. I recognized some of the locations as being in point pleasant so I’m surprised you didn’t hit jenkinson’s boardwalk. There are a lot of arcades, shops and rides there that make for interesting shots. If you take the New Jersey project into the winter give seaside heights a try, the empty boardwalk gives the normally packed place a very different look.

[@alfredoziano]

Really enjoyed this video man, keep it up.

[@russellfillerup1097]

I've been waiting all morning

[@DanielLawsonOfficial]

This has inspired me to go out and shoot again. 🧡 thank u

[@yoshinorishibahara5279]

loved this video, so many beautiful shots. also inspired me to go out and try some nighttime photography. I'd love to hear more of the technical side of your photos, feels like theres so much for beginners when it comes to film, but not enough for the people who want to start trying out new techniques and styles after they've gotten used to using a film camera. Anyways, keep up the great work!

[@JoeLopez]

Very nice images here, well done!

[@armondxyz]

It sucks I moved to FL, when I lived in Philly I used to go to Point Pleasant and mostly Wildwood for the whole summer if I would've seen you on the streets I probably would fangirl. Good stuff as always!

[@tesstomato2395]

I had to pause at 1:35 because that photo is SO STUNNING! amazing work

[@tesstomato2395]

Also 6:40..... absolutely stunning

[@ecebegenirsoy]

Just discovered your channel and I love it so much!

[@salahedd7709]

thanks for the lovely video!!

[@SuannaZhong]

i really love these photos, thank you for sharing your process! i would really love to see a video where you explain how you colorgrade your videos, the colors look so nice!!!

[@scottejohnson83]

Looks like Point! Really nice work bro.
