Street Photography In London With Alan Schaller

[@bennis123]

This is the most refreshing photography content on KZbin. No gear focus no "five easy tricks". Just following a really good photographer doing his thing.

[@alan_schaller]

🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@farahnazphotography]

%100 agree😍

[@RavinduKumarasiri]

Yes it’s not about the gear at all. Its how you use it and the good frames you see.

[@jresin_photo]

100% Agree AND no shouting and waving around like a crazy bird with broken wings. I Love these brittish photographers/KZbinrs (Alan, Photographic Eye end Courtney Victoria amongst others). :D

[@pix6483]

@@jresin_photo AND @MikeChudley! The content he produces on his channel is a breath of fresh air.

[@WilliamVerbose]

Respect to Alan for being himself. Not even trying to be serious. Just goofing around and having a good time. Keep em coming! These videos are truly enjoyable to watch and inspiring at the same time.

[@joedimeo]

Amidst a world creators who all try to mimic what everyone else is doing, this has a gritty, real, and genuinely humorous style to it that makes it its own thing! A favorite new channel! I’ll be waiting with bated breath for the next one! 😊

[@alan_schaller]

I’m glad you are enjoying the videos 🙏🏼

Please do more street photography as I love watching your channel. I enjoy the way you handle street photography. I am going to London next weekend so this will be fun. 🫶

[@mikelovett2677]

Humorous & irreverent, short & punchy, simple instructions, no bloody gear reviews. Is this KZbin?

[@klartext2225]

WOW. Know your work for two years now - and with this funny video I can see you are also a great entertainer!! And you are... FAST! Probably the most important thing in street photography. Or... the second? You show why: seeing the POTENTIAL of a setting, a background and then you wait for things to happen, for people (or pidgeons) to appear. In other videos there is no waiting or sitting on the sidewalk. Just reacting - click! - and then moving on.

[@derrenleepoole]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how warm and fuzzy these videos make you feel? Great content delivered by an extremely knowledgeable photographer in a charming, often funny and endearing way. Keep it up.

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

I'm so happy you're on KZbin. Thank you for being here.

[@alan_schaller]

Thanks Taylor 🙏🏼

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

I like to have a go at street photography, but i am not sure i get it... I have just got back from Milan Italy and had my camera with me, i struggled a lot.. So i am asking as i don't actually get most of the photos i see on youtube and have no idea what your seeing or taking how would you like to do a collaboration with me a landscape photographer and see if we can do a video on the why?

[@TheGeordietheWitchandtheWench]

Pretty good, I like how passionate you are. I'm not as patient as you are. I would ask people to walk past in front of that garage door and say look this way.. You'd be surprised so many people love getting photos.

[@jaychow94]

"I'm walking awaaay" hahahaha

[@sc0ttmagoon]

This is fun stuff, Alan. I am not looking for gear reviews or editing tutorials from you, but I am a bit curious about your post-processing philosophy. You seem to emphasize the dark and light parts of your images for more dramatic effect. I wonder how much you look for that in the scene vs adding it after. I have enjoyed your photography for a long time and it’s nice to see your videos capturing a fun and playful side of street photography. Thanks!

[@alan_schaller]

Much appreciated 😊

[@MrZowy]

WOW bạn có thể ra nhiều video hơn được ko 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@urbexphotographer]

I’ve watched you from the first video, I’m sorry I’d never heard of you before, but you’re my new favourite photographer. Your approach your humour and the way you explain your technique is so fresh. Please keep it up as you are inspiring. Top fucking draw my friend

[@YouNeedMyVoice]

You have no idea how grateful I am that you do this. It was also time for a true photographic artist to decide on a KZbin channel.

[@CO8ism]

This is becoming my favourite photography youtube channel. Even though I'm going for a different style in my own photography, I really enjoy seeing someone with this level of skill do their thing.

[@TheMeylaerts]

Thnxx Alan for adding some more info on settings. Not to mention these videos are just funny to watch. Love it

[@GS-xg4nz]

Came to learn about street photography and learned it's important to enjoy life. Thank you, Alan.

[@LongWalkTV]

Great channel, inspiring, keep it up

[@AlexanderConey]

Amazing content! I know I’m pretty late but it gives a great new perspective on how to get shots in London I wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Thanks! Quick question: do you have use burst mode much? Particularly for shots like the cyclist or low speed for framing of walking subjects?

[@film.fiasco]

The quality of the content is priceless, and the edition is just hilarious 😂... killer combo, Alan!

[@Wolfloid]

Great photography with a very individual approach. It is a delight to look at your photography! While I do understand your use of the expensive Leica M10 Monochrome, I do not understand your choice of the eye-wateringly expensive 24mm Summilux 1.4. given your dominant approach to the images you make. You seem to use mostly (exclusively?) small apertures, so why not use a Leica m 24/2.8 or a 24/3.8, or even a tiny, cheap Voigtlander 25/4, which are much smaller and lighter? Now if Leica gave you the Summilux, then I understand, I would also gladly accept one for free, but if I had to pay, I would go for the smaller, lighter, cheaper lenses just mentioned. So why the Summilux? I am intrigued.

[@maxxpert]

Your beauty is in simplicity. However, it’s really hard to achieve such level of simplicity without LOTS of practice. So kudos to you, great job!

[@stefandahl2872]

I f...... L O V E this channel and the content! But PLEASE upload more frequently.

[@nigelbiney2742]

Just a whacky idea.....take out a novice, no discussion take shots and compare discuss shots taken. Different approaches, ways of seeing things etc can be discussed .....observe also how experience alters perception or quality....I'd do that! Mr Novice.

[@fearlessmadamex5685]

I'll be honest, when I saw the very first video (and I apologize, I've not heard your name before), I immediately thought you were annoying 😂 but within a few minutes, I found you likable and endearing. And your photography and skills. Wow. This is now my favorite KZbin channel. Keep em coming!!

[@MikeLangfordGoogle]

This us great! Watching from Cusco, Peru, just found you & subscribed - witty, refreshing, great pace 😊

[@t4mor4]

This is my favourite photography channel, it's informative and humorous which is the perfect way to teach. Over the years I've taken loads of photos in London and a few came out really well, and I'll be honest I didn't know initially why people liked them better. Your video about light and shadows helped to explain one of my favourites and now I feel better equipped to take more successful images. Off to Venice in October and eager to get dawn and dusk images of the usual canal/gondola/flooded square/etc, but now also looking forward to getting some more midday images in small streets with light and shadows. Do you have any local tips or info about Venice?

[@jeetts59]

Hi, just found your channel, I’m in Australia and love your content. I’ve subscribed

[@stevenmccaughan2752]

I live in the United States and my daughter lives in London and looking forward to walking thru London with my camera thinking of my Leica M6 with the 35mm/28mm combo or play it safe with the Sony A6400 with the zoom that if it got destroyed I wouldn’t cry

[@tonycook1532]

Another good one Alan. I’ve made a monochrome recipe on my Fujifilm camera that produces rich blacks and bright whites. It’s called Alan Schaller!

[@sergiocoimbra6488]

Dear Allan, first of all, congratulations on your photographic style. In this video, you have a black bag that I really like! could you tell me what is its brand and what is the model of this bag. THANKS

[@el_pableras]

Great video. Did I notice @NicosPhotographyShow theme in 3:07 when breaking the news? 😂

[@anandbalagopal9617]

Im watching this just 2 days after my trip to London. Can you show how you edit your B&W photos? Thos blacks are stunning.

[@michael_177]

"We're in SAAUUTHH KENSINGTON, which is how no one who is from here pronounces it" 😂

[@manololeranoz1516]

Hola Alan me gusta mucho tu trabajo,es muy motivante para mi. Me gustaría saber cómo enfocas con tu Leica y un poco tu forma de editar. Un saludo desde Navarra España.

[@pjh34]

Thanks Alan. I'll be staying in Queensborough Terrace for a week at the end of this month and will probably follow your walk at some time. I'm also going to join a Street Photography workshop with Brian Ducket, so again, thanks for all you suggestions.

[@AlexSm1th]

Inspiring ... to see the flow. Then, take the camera and put your perspective to work. Thanks so much Alan for effort and please go on!

[@DavidMBanes]

Awesome, you've cheered me up so I'm going to pickup the X-M1 + XF 18mm and go out...

[@barryashenhurst2071]

Enjoying the vids Alan, Always interesting and inspiring. One thing I'd like to see though is a demo of how your photos are processed. For example, in another video you said that while watching an expert process your images, he did it in a way you didn't expect, and in fact you "thought he was crazy". Can you tell us what you meant by that, and if you have any 'routine' processing methods you rely on.

[@slicktricks88]

I had no idea what an Alan Shaller was (no offense, I'm not in the UK) before coming across one of these videos. I have now watched all of them and I'm convinced I am a better photographer than I was 30 minutes ago. The last time this didn't go so well (watching MMA videos didn't make me a better fighter), but at least the stakes are a bit lower......

[@markcort1670]

Just stumbled across your channel and really glad I did. Absolutely loved this. Loved the shots and equally the humour. You’ve set the bar for me on this video though! I’m hoping all your videos are like this!!

[@juanmanuelperez1104]

Thanks thanks thanks. You are such an inspiration. Love from Argentina my friend.

[@vinylisland6386]

My dad lived in South Ken for years, Ensor Mews, Onslow Mews West and Bute Street. I always used to see Francis Bacon there, his studio backed onto Bute Street. Polanski's Repulsion was shot around there too. A nice area, back in the day it felt a bit like a village.

[@neil2252]

Stumbled across this video and really enjoyed it,Like others have said, its got a very different “vibe” to it. :) While I’m not too concerned about you doing, or not doing gear reviews, I would appreciate it if you could tell me a little more about what your using. I’m very new to street photography , so this could help a lot. :)

[@Barwertfaktor]

Great - I absolutely enjoy this (new) channel. Only issue: Ever since I decide to shoot more color - then look one of Alan , I immediately change my mind … so I’m constantly totally without a plan …

[@AlexanderBischof]

Superb video. Very entertaining. The only thing I would want to know: which lenses do you use besides 24mm?

[@BobWilliamsphotographer]

I totally dig your Channel. I'm excited to be shooting in England this October for a couple weeks. :)

[@georgelopez2850]

Hi Alan. New subscriber here who will be visiting London for the first time in the next couple of weeks. Can you recommend any photography galleries to visit? Thanks. Hope you see you out on the streets.

[@sharondmeber3802]

Oh wow! I’m so excited to have discovered your channel!! I have followed you on instagram for quite some time and love your photography! Super excited to see your content here as well😊

[@andreaspretali]

Your channel is amazing! Thank you for the very informative videos so far and the very humorous way of presenting the content is great! I have tried to contact you via the contact form on the website regarding the B&W London workshop with no success. Is there one this year? Kind regards from Switzerland, Andreas

[@ByJoven]

We have plenty of Scheisse heads putting out 30 minutes plus videos on street photography. And then the probably most talented still walking the streets photographer gives us 9 minutes and a bit? Dear please Mr Schaller make your videos longer, much longer, feature film. For real, such a treat, just a damn short one mate.

[@aldilasagaprabu5318]

Protect that funny music as the opening and ending🤣 Your content really give a fresh perspective on photography. Amazing👌🏻

[@AlanBrownPhotography]

Very entertaining video Alan. I'll be heading to New York and hope to grab street shots during my visit. Your tips will hopefully help get some worthy images.

[@aerialfilm1]

Should I ever see you produce a video of “top five reasons why I switched to Sony”, I’ll immediately throw away all my cameras and poke out my eyes! Good luck, we’re all counting on you ..

[@josephschimmer302]

Yes, it’s not supposed to be a gear channel - and rightfully so! BUT: just observing how you you are operating your Leica is interesting to me (and tempting too)

[@marcp.1752]

Photography should always being focused about composition, photography itself, not about gear reviews. Gear is just being a tool, to get the job done.

[@lyndapassey2752]

Thanks for the channel and for focussing on the photography and not the gear. I like that you are out and about sharing techniques and showing example images. Thank you. Looking forward to more from your channel. I did like your black bag in this video. It looks a useful size. Are you able to share what it is please?

[@kevmoiz1718]

"Hi Alan would it be possible to produce some rubbish shots, just bring it down a notch. to a more comfortable level I can identify with! other than that no other gripes! Refreshing insight as to how you work the 'street', 🙂cheers." Kev

[@dennisjones5579]

My apologies, I forgot to add this to my previous comment. I'd be interested to know what camera/lens you're using in the videos, more out of curiosity. Thanks

[@paulmurphypudsey3304]

Watcheda couple of pod casts on you tube , like your photo's first, your presentation 2nd also very good, I subscribed to your channel. I also bought your first book on Amazon so in a nutshell great photo's equil for me bought book subscribed, keep the good work up hopefully more great books etc, all the best

[@AVITHOSWEBMEDIA]

Hello Allan. What a fantastic video! I noticed at 0:18 a brown leather small messenger bag. Would you like please to answer please which model is it? Keep posting videos!

[@sergekronz]

These shots were great, I enjoyed them, Thank you. And your explanation is spot on for my liking, bravo

[@Pyliip]

Have loved your style for many years, glad to see you on hear. One point that could be interesting to address is how you carry your camera. I usually carry mine crossbody with a strap that is attached to the left-hand side of the camera and to the tripod thread so that when not in use it's hanging where my right hand naturally is and it's facing down (a bit like a gun in a holster would I guess). My only issue with that method is that I'm worried it could negatively affect the shoulder of my suit jackets. Do you have any experience with that? Kind regards from Switzerland

[@DebiSenGupta]

The thought process is amazing. Forgive me for being blunt, but the clips in between are distracting. My opinion.

[@Popietro]

Please continue to make this kind of content. I will cancel my Netflix subscription just to watch you again and again :P

[@tallaganda83]

Great channel mate, being following you for years on Instagram. Will definitely spread the word.

[@rillaman1]

I’m so glad I found you on KZbin… great content with real advice. Fantastic images… Started following you on instagram 📷👍

Thanks man I loved it. Listening to your approach it's actually interesting and I appreciate you trying to make it funny.

[@leonardlister4087]

Thank u Alan fantastic always liked your KZbin’s, Gear wise No uno Leica

[@Nick-xm8rn]

Love it.Amazing photo of the woman in the tube. And as a new manual focus camera owner, looking forward to seeing more. Maybe street portraits, and if it’s not too ‘geary’, a bit on zone focussing. I’m still a little timid about getting close enough to people for the best pictures.

[@christianbresch7445]

You are a very funny and entertaining guy, I like your videos a lot. Your photography is just amazing, so creative. Thank you for sharing what you do and how you do it. Big fan!

Thanxs a lot for this fresh content between monty python and benny hill :-) i do really enjoy your content and your way of acting ....! Respect !!

[@robertmathieson1083]

At last, I could have done with your channel 40 years ago. As a matter of interest other than the basics eg cropping, do you do much post processing?

[@HyperfocalFl]

Love this stuff. I’ll never be a shooter like this but the process, insight and humor are priceless. Need a t-shirt. B&W natch 😊

[@debbielevy6858]

How often can your viewers expect content? I am hoping weekly. Please make a video on how you developed your skill. I am excited about your channel and look forward to more content.

[@craigbootes9618]

Are these techniques applicable to film? Im just starting out any help would be appreciated thanks

[@attila1899]

Fantastic videos. Congrat! Are you using some filters on camera? Amazing shots!

[@michaelschmitt5413]

Nice video. Glad you're feeling positive about the channel. I have a suspicion that some street photogs "stage" some people shots in lieu of them being real candid moments. Do you ever do that? If you don't how do you feel about it?

[@seidokanuk]

Fantastic video - thanks! I have a technical question - do you need to turn off IBIS when doing the panning long exposures on the tube? Thanks and can't wait for the next one!

[@JamesFiltness-s8z]

Hi Alan, You really are a funny guy! Really enjoying the videos so far. I'd really like to see a video on your post production techniques and personally I'd love to see a gear video :)

[@aloysiuscalvin9467]

[@carlgray6764]

Thanks for being like a slightly under ripe lemon ... to give me that zing back in photography ...

[@davidpierini3316]

Love the channel but the title doesn't change from episode to episode. People might think based on the title, they've already seen it. Even if you don't have a clickbait headline (which you don't need), indicate an episode number or something.

[@MrFreakwent]

I've seen bits of you in video here and there ,usually done by someone (?) else ,which made me a fan of your Monochrome style > Happy to find you have your own thing going on!

[@WayneBrownPhotography]

So refreshing to see someone just having fun doing street photography on KZbin instead of being so serious all the time but still giving fantastic advice and tips, keep up the great work Alan and looking forward to seeing more from your channel and smiling along with them.

[@MarcLerchs]

Just discover your work. I love it. Greetings from Belgium. :)

[@paulfallat1664]

I wouldn’t mind gear reviews; it’s good to hear other people’s opinions on things. Just keep it lite and fun like you have been. I think of you stray into that stuff but keep the comedy you’ll do just fine.

[@ommm8]

Love this, very likeable subject who also just happens to be amazing at what he does 👌👌👌

Hi Alan, Big fan of your work and now loving your personality on video. How does a street photography beginner get over the awkwardness of taking pictures of strangers ?

Thanks Alan I appreciate it when you make an effort to tell us all about your technique also the settings like the F Stop shutter speed ISO cheers 👌🎈🎈

The waiting part always amazes me. I still regard it as a trick up the wildlife photographer's sleeve. I'd rather walk an extra mile than wait for 15 mins.

This is really cool an hot stuff. I like it very much! Thank you and many greetings from Berlin :-)

[@craigianmenzies]

Out of interest, in your long daily walk, how many photos do you take and what is your keep rate? Not necessarily good enough to publish but maybe social media worthy?
