the SOHO chapter is actually crazy. Whatever you did you perfectly dialed in night filming. The composition for the shots, the bridges with slow framed clips and the general color grading really makes it feel like you're there, experiencing it for yourself. amazing job man

[@LiterallyJord]

absolutely loving the "in motion" approach you've been taking in your videos. it takes your already great ability to capture real human moments and lends itself to the context of film. would love to see just a long form version of that. congrats on the great work as always!

[@FaizalWestcott]

Thanks so much for the feedback!!

[@ZachMayfield]

Such a killer edit man. It's awesome seeing your filmmaking skills develop!

[@ivunchow]

One of my favorite places in the world. Enjoy your stay! Videos looking incredible 🤌🏻

[@jeremyfielding2333]

The best London 'street' video I have seen in a long time.

[@humorn]

One of my fav videos you’ve done! All the video bits; the colors, the different angles and things you capture, the editing with photos to tell a story. 🎉 beautiful to watch. Thanks!

[@Itchban]

beautiful vid man. love the cinematic style edit

[@alylyshua74937]

Oh I rang the bell so hard after seeing that video. Thank you so much for posting!

[@leogodinez2767]

That Wong Kar-Wai- inspired step printing just hits different 😌

[@BritishRacingGreen]

Welcome to London. I live outside London and there's lots to see here. Here's a few interesting locations. * Brick Lane and surrounding areas * Brixton * Covent Garden * Battersea Power Station * Tate Modern * Borough Market * Greenwich * Natural History Museum and pretty much all major museums are worth a look. Enjoy your stay.

[@colingerard7863]

Hi Faizal. A belated welcome to my hometown. It was inevitable that you'd step on a few visual bear traps initially as a visitor. However, I'm glad you soon overcame that. Shooting through acid stained glass was beautiful. There are thirty three boroughs in London and it's difficult to know where to go, but, that's also something to look forward to on a return trip. Looking at how you perceived London was very interesting for someone who was raised here.

[@pn1555]

3:31 - the guy staring out of the window would be such a perfect subject for a cinematic photo.

[@t.m.6881]

Oh wow, this was so beautiful to watch! Love your content ❤

[@chrishumphreys2554]

Love the abstract b-roll in the Soho section. Also that shot with the single stiletto with the blurred movement around it is great. Always interesting to see how other photographers approach a city you know so well. Looking forward to the future videos.

[@christopherrodriguez1269]

Just came back from London 2 weeks ago and this video is making me miss it! Great shots!

[@donjagoe]

Fabulous work-loved the video and slo-mo clips at night.

[@jameshart3879]

The magic you bring to the video, cinematic excellence. I forgot I was watching a KZbin video about street photography! Absolutely love the Soho video section. BIG hit on the sub button, can't wait for more!

[@MikeChudley]

Great to see your in London! Lovely video in this as well. Nicely done man.

[@MindKeys]

Rainy photography in London is the best

[@phloe2165]

if you have time, please come to brighton for a day or so. the atmosphere is always great

[@amandamckevitt7890]

I recently found you here on KZbin and I love your street photography videos! This one was amazing!!! My favorite was the black and white photo of the car and street below through the window!😍 It made me think of the Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch version!)

[@exiiit]

You’re doing my city proud Faizal, really liking the video work too. Zero stabilisation really adds to the vibe… 👊🏻

[@stevenkennell5511]

Very nice - I particularly enjoyed the content at night. Hope you're enjoying your stay here in London.

[@Edvanfleury]

I love your voice as always

[@setoz1980]

Cant wait for all video!!!!!

[@barsbeatlife]

if you've got time, I think Battersea Power Station would be a cool spot to visit. A beautiful landmark and now with a lot of buzz around it because of the new shopping center and flats/offices surrounding. Also, some great cities like Liverpool and Manchester would be worth a visit. Perhaps a vibrant football (soccer) match would be a cool thing to shoot pre-match too.

[@thordibrasil5388]

love the soho b roll at 5:23.

[@ianwinning5721]

Welcome to London, I see you've met up with Eren, his Across Japan book is brilliant. If the weathers poor, head to the Underground - visit Baker Street, Canary Wharf and take in St Pancras. I'm in town Wednesday afternoon and evening. I'll look out for you. You keep posting, I'll keep looking. Oh! Your video colour stripes excellent, and the music too. Thank you.

[@imteee]

5:23 reminded me so much of wong kar wai's cheung king express. So gorgeous!

[@yoyeyoy]

Love so much the Soho part of the video ! The music, the mood, the way it’s filmed 🤩

[@rnone2214]

Your video production and score selection are a wonderful match... both expressing a creative energy and fluidity. A very pleasing composition, well done. I look forward to the next installment.

[@liam.chandler]

great video man! loved the psychedelic vibes at the end there. Was tripping me out haha

[@FaizalWestcott]

When you've had one too many in Soho 🤣

[@liam.chandler]

@@FaizalWestcott Sounds like it! haha

[@SolOtis]

I love this. Great job with the edit.

[@andrewdennes1608]

A fantastic sequence of shots and footage; nice work!

[@mikefoster6018]

I didn't like the first few pictures and thought "here we go again - another KZbin photographer dialling-in ordinary shots". And then you started having one really lovely, smart shot after another. And now I'm feeling inspired to get out into London today, despite the forecast rain, to see what I can photo! Great stuff.

[@ErraticBuddha]

You need to have a weekend at the seaside while you are here, I would sugest up north for a bit for a change but I live in Blackpool so a little bias, Brighton is not too far from London but a world away.

[@streetcamp1624]

love the music and vibe

[@angelasinclair5152]

You've captured so much of what London is, ever changing, but so familiar

[@jozekdiesing6026]

I'm so grateful that you decided to visit London. It's a pleasure to watch your street videos&photos there. I'm looking forward to more... love it

[@StuartWeir]

Another amazing video, Faizal! Wonderful editing, and incredible photos!

[@benscr]

I’m a Londoner, so might see you around. You should take some photos of The City (ie the Financial Centre in postcode EC1). My favourite building to take photos in The City of is the Lloyd’s Bank Building.

[@barsbeatlife]

man. your work is always so beautifully packaged. such great inspiration. as someone that lives in London i probably have lost that excitement and inspiration doing street photography here, i much prefer in other countries/cities as it's 'new', but this has given me a few more ideas! thanks as always.

[@jonashuck]

Loved the atmosphere during the night scenes. Great music and visuals!

[@endah08]

Great stuff man. Try get out of the centre of London if you can. Greenwich, Wood Green, Bounds Green etc.

[@Pascal15B]

Really loved this film & how you put it together & the perfect music.

[@SteveChick02]

Welcome to the UK!

[@ChilliCharlie22]

Ayyy the don is in LDN! I'm intruded in what spots you're gonna hit! Enjoy your time bru!

[@huntercreatesthings]

Absolutely gorgeous shots Faizal! It's so interesting to see the place I call home through other eyes. Will keep an eye out for you when I'm out and about shooting this weekend!

[@ShutterSphere]

Faizal, I’ve been binging your videos all weekend. Love your content, I’ve been learning a lot! Looking forward to the next edit. Keep up the amazing work!

[@opotopo1]

Welcome to London village Faizal. Have a great trip. Looking forward to seeing your updates. Simon

[@capturemoon7527]

I love how the aspect ratio got widened half way of the vid like diving into a great story. also great music choice. really enjoyed this. can't wait to see more!

[@rjohnbernales]

Wow!!! The Soho part. Loved the motion and the stills. Very inspiring 🤩

[@Mrfoug]

Love the mood and style of this vid! I lived in Melbourne for about 2 years and I was shooting pretty much every day. However, since I moved back to my home country Sweden, I haven´t been shooting street photos since April 2019 as the lack of motivation. Keep it up! This inspire me to bring my camera out again :)

[@radicaleyemag]

Welcome to London! I wouldn't hold your breath on the sun returning anytime soon... 🌧

[@joshuaabetona7633]

your contents are the reason why I entered photography and I've been depressed lately, it helped me a lot it gave me a sense of purpose pls keep making videos on youtube to inpsire others to do photography too p.s. sorry for the bad english shout out from the Philippines 🇵🇭

[@artemkanaki9274]

it’s such a pleasure to watch your videos. the night time footage is outstanding ❤

[@nahueljo]

Wow! Those photos were all amazing. I should take inspiration in your ways to go about in the street!

[@ruff1draft]

I am pleased you are in London I live just outside east London and do street photography with my Nikon D5500 camera

[@cninh4574]

I always love seeing a place I know well from a new set of eyes!

[@syl20duch]

Great video. Loved the night sequence in soho. The pics, music, and especially the videos and editing. Well done. Can't wait to see what's next :)

[@AnisZaydi]

Really dig the Soho part, feels like watching Wong Kar-wai's films. This video might be my fav of yours so far.

[@prathamgill5182]

This is insane, can’t wait for more from London. You inspire me a lot to shoot and make great work🫶🏽

[@anothernovelty]

Really nicely edited and put together Faizal! Enjoy your time in London!

[@ingemarhellsten7809]

Amazing video Faizal! Really excited to see more of your photos from London!

[@lukemerrill1272]

Enjoy London! I had the privilege of living there for a few years and only love it more after my time there. Make sure to venture out of the center and enjoy some of the less popular neighborhoods too. I know you've got good connections there who will help you find these gems.

[@perry.normal]

Incredible video Faizal! Looks & sounds beautiful.

[@peterh_tw]

The moment I saw these photos you share on Instagram, I can't wait to see the London video! Great work as always Faizal.

[@Jane-ru6np]

Love your introspective videos. Thanks.

[@PhilippMeiners]

Great video and great mixture of photos and video sequences...

[@thissidetowardscreen4553]

Awesome video! beautifully shot and edited! Loved it!

[@gregstevenson7401]

Great frames Faizal. I love them. Saul Leiter lives!

[@addisoncarpenter5675]

Love you videos!

[@linhhuyenvi9560]

watching your video after a long working day is great, also you made me think of having a Fujifilm for the 1st time (I always use Sony). Wish you creativity and inspiration everyday!

[@Simonsaysbrown]

Filmmaking was great on this. And perfect timing for the London trip I'm planning in a month! Great vid, Faizal

[@martinglb]

Awesome Fayzal! Good job on the edit of the video!

[@rafeakspvd]

Great work man! Love the mood of this video. Excited to see what else you do out there.

[@Ravik122]

I loved this one! Seems like you stepped up to a whole new quality level. Looking forward to seeing more, but also enjoy your stay in london. Take care!

[@theshockabuku]

Yo the shot at 4:59 is awesome

[@Marlz]

A route suggestion for you would be to start out at Columbia road flower market (only open on Sundays), making your way to Brick lane via Boundry gardens you could then head towards Spitalfields, finishing your day off with a walk around the Barbican estate and St Pauls.

[@GaryPhillipsGaryPM]

Wow Faizal what a beautiful video 😍 looking forward to seeing what new ideas you have planned. Seeing as you’re staying for a while why not come up to Manchester for the day, I’m sure you’d find it great for street photography and I’d be happy to show you around. Keep up the great work 🤩

[@PrestonBandit]

Great job editing this! Enjoyed the pics.

[@davemorrison3705]

Hi Faizal, Great to see you here in London. Love you work. Only been here a few days and already capturing great moments in London. Maybe try the Barbican in the morning. It's a really unique brutallist area of the city. Feels like a 70s Sci fi movie.

[@FaizalWestcott]

I was there in barbican the other day, what a cool area haha

[@octagono_studio]

amazing video like always, great job Faizal

[@AlexOnStreets]

Good work! May the light be with you..

[@FaizalWestcott]

Haha thanks Alex

[@biggsstudios8075]

Love your videos Faizal! Enjoy London! I go there a lot to shoot, and would be cool to bump into you in the street! Happy shooting ✌️📸

[@uppernycghost]

You're right, I couldn't stop staring at the hair. 😂

[@FaizalWestcott]

sorry 🤣

[@jonathanfostr]

Gorgeous b roll dude, very jealous you’re staying there for so long! Excited to see your pics ☺️

[@coltonmccurdy7680]

Some of those had that Joshua K. Jackson vibes. Loved it.

[@juliamostowik9438]

masterpiece!

[@arpcsm]

I’ve been to London a few times but i’m always uninspired to shoot! 😢 why you sooo gooood! This really is so inspiring! I wanna go there and do some photowalk now! T_T

[@Supbangg]

Love this video!! Makes me want to visit now 👀👏🏼

[@jamesford_jp]

[@jordbaggs]

Very inspiring man and great to see you in London

Fabulous work, just loved it.
