One of the best street photography videos ive seen. And on of the best youtubechannels. Looking forward to more content.

[@eortizfoto]

Wow, thanks a million! I’m planning more videos. But as always, I’m more of a photographer than a videographer. So I’m making about a video a month only.

[@austinsabu9490]

These photos are stunning man, would love to see more black and white from you...

[@eortizfoto]

Thank you! I’m on the making of a zine in BnW 😊

[@margotlerouzic9741]

Your videos are better and better over the weeks. This one is so gorgeous ... The way you film, your photos, the music, the tips ...everything! Congrats Eduardo! Can't wait the next one (even better?)

[@eortizfoto]

Thank you so much!! I'll reach a plateau very soon, as I'm finding my video equipment very limiting. But trying to make the best out of it. Thanks for the support. Cheers from Puno, Peru.

[@pronsivar.7416]

Great picture guy, I like your monochrome picture very much. please make it more.

[@kalistratov_photos]

Thank you for the video! My personal favorite shot was the pigeon and the skull tape. Thanks to you I start to master my composition, too.

[@kalistratov_photos]

One more thought. I think the reflection area from this video might work with a telephoto lens, too.

[@eortizfoto]

Definitely a good scene to try with a 90mm or a 135mm. Unfortunately, I'm almost never carrying my FX 90mm f2. Thanks for all the support and the good vibes man!

[@eortizfoto]

too tight for me buddy.... get for details tho

[@pratipkarmakar01]

Black and white has a special feeling that colour can't even match,awesome photos

[@eortizfoto]

I think both are different languages with their pros and cons. Thanks for watching

[@tomasmano]

very enjoyable to watch, such a wonderful shots, 5:06 with the double reflection of the driver is my favorite, thanks for sharing!

[@eortizfoto]

Thank you to you for watching! Yeah I think that was one of my favourite shots so far and got it on the fly. Lucky day Cheers!

[@stylianoscharisis]

Color is always a "temptation" but B&W can easily change how we consider and we see the photography so far. Another great video, thank you Ortiz

[@eortizfoto]

So true! I learned so much by shooting in BnW. Thanks a million for watching

Hi Edwardo, I've stumbled across this channel and love black and white video and photography so much more truthful ...i am wondering what vid cam you use for your videos ?, please. Are there any special settings or you just let it roll ... Thanks it's been a real joy to experience your videos and photos ...such humilty 🙏😊

[@eortizfoto]

I use an old osmo action (the first one). Cheers!

[@TheUrbandilema]

Edwardo you are really an awesome and amazing street photographer and artist may the almighty God protect you in your travels..love this bw session..what focal length u used sir..la Paz is an amazing place

[@eortizfoto]

Wow, thank you...well, I use mainly a 28mm and a 50mm (18 and 35 in fuji). Cheers

[@petertrotter4431]

Always really enjoy your videos Eduardo. Great photos as usual. I love learning about your thought processes and what you’re aiming for when you looking for a picture. I was wondering, you seem to have an effortless way of getting up close to people without really bothering them enough to notice, or perhaps care about your presence. Is that something you’ve had to learn, that you consciously think about? From the viewer’s perspective you give off very chilled, zen vibes so I’m not surprised you’re able to go about almost unnoticed. Anyway, it would be good to hear whether this is something you’ve really had to learn and work on, or, if it comes naturally what do you think it is that you are doing that puts people so at ease in your presence? Do you use specific techniques or it is just a general friendly attitude? Thanks 🙂

[@eortizfoto]

Thanks a million for watching. The confidence I got to approach people was developing little by little. I started shooting with a 50mm on canon apsc (80mm) and then gradually was requiring something wider, till I got to 28mm. At 28mm people sometimes even think I’m shooting something behind them. Also I really care about people’s reactions and always try to be aware whether my presence is being welcomed or not. I approach people up front with my camera and never do anything dodgy like shooting from the hip or so. Another thing that helps me quite a lot is avoiding eye contact with my subjects. That’s for now. You give me an idea for a future video. Thanks!

[@petertrotter4431]

I’ve been on a similar journey, starting off with a longish zoom lens, then 35mm (APSC) and now 23mm, but I’ve noticed I’m often cropping into my images which tells me I’m not comfortable enough getting close up for now. So yeah, I know it’s something a lot of people, both beginners and those that have been at it a while struggle with so I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Thanks 🙏

[@eortizfoto]

Patience, you'll get used to it with practice@@petertrotter4431
