ESCAPE INTO NATURE - A photographic journey (Leica M262 & Sony A7SIII)

[@d.idowuolutosin4250]

Samuel, I will say this for the record and in full transparency for my own selfish desires, WE NEED MORE OF THIS!!! I've been following you for a few years now and I must say this is by far the BEST work you've shared with your KZbin audience. This is grown man shit. Like you, I love street photography but this is mature film making and storytelling. It reminds me very much of the content I've been seeing on the Art and Adventure channel. It just so happens he shoots with the Leica Q2 and the Leica M6. You can't make this a "one and done" video sir. You just showed the world a glimpse of your abilities as a photographer and filmmaker. I loved every minute of it and I watched it twice. Great job! Great job!

[@Stockezy]

Sam, you absolutely killed this! Such inspiring work. Its incredibly refreshing to see a photographer working on KZbin instead of talking about the work. We could do with more videos of the journey. Pure and artistic. Loved it!

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Thanks man!!! It's hard to carve in time for photography projects but it is not impossible. Definitely want to do more now! Appreciate the love brother!

[@ericrjennings]

Completely agree

[@TheGermanCompounder]

I totally agree!

[@isaragusti]

Could not agree more

[@ka_sh_iif]

I’ve rewatched this video more than a few times, and it’s inspired me to go out and look for a project. I’m so tired of taking photos of IG, and this is really motivating. Thanks again for this gift that keeps on giving.

[@anthonyphillips3421]

Just watched your photographic journey with the Leica and Sony cameras and I only have one word to describe your black and white images. Simply stunning. By far your best work in my opinion. I can now see what all the fuss is about with Leica cameras and lens.

[@Bryan-lu4du]

My favorite of your work so far. These black & white photos absolutely sing to me.

[@MrChomiq]

Good job Samuel, that fisherman segment was really relaxing and gave a different perspective on life during Corona.

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Glad to hear that Peter! I was hoping to meet more locals but time was short unfortunately. But happy it worked out with the fisherman!

[@harryp6312]

I love this new direction you have taken. An insight into normal people's lives and the deeper aspects of nature and timelessness. Street photography is fine but ultimately shallow. I very much enjoyed this different path.

[@juliussternfeld428]

Die Windgeräusche am Schluss sind so schön 😊. Tolles Video.

[@KarinMajoka]

This video was a masterpiece Samuel, really well put together and the images were stunning! Just living the 'it must be nice' life.

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Thank you Karin! It was (and is) indeed very nice... :)

[@phoozchic]

Absolutely beautiful. Both video and still shots. I love the fisherman mini documentary. The black and white photos were stunning. You are really showing some artistic skill. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed this very much.

[@AlexOnStreets]

Beautiful photos! And the atmosphere 🤌 Can't wait for more! 🐝

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Thanks Bro! Can't wait for your reveal ;)

[@checkmybadself]

Wow this was great. Love the shots with the fisherman and landscapes. Great black & whites.

[@DarylHunt]

All I can say is, I just loved this video. It was so atmospheric as well as interesting when you talked to the fisherman. The last part with the brooding mountains and wind howling made me shiver which says a lot as I am in summer in Australia. Great job !

[@nisarrana1095]

Great video. Loved the black & white photos, amazing landscapes. Overall great combination of background music, editing and inclusion of the photos. Very artistic and documentary style.

[@quintaviusoliver8149]

These are some incredible photos! I really enjoyed this intimate look into a life and place completely different from my own. Makes me want to find some place quiet to settle down and enjoy fresh air. Whatever processing you did with the black and white here is spot on, too!

[@Zenturio1]

Wow, was für ein cooles video. Erfrischend anders! I like!! Und wirklich super Fotos. Irgendwie zeitlos.

[@3ΣΞ]

The scenery in Bavaria looks amazing! Definitely one for the bucket list of places to visit!

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Yes, definitely!

[@jasonbokar7482]

Your best video by far lately. Lovely to see your own photos and interpretations. Do more if these. Please...

[@SammySantiagoIrizarry]

Wow! Wow! A Great Video and Documentary!!! Also excellent Photography Shots!!!!!! You are great Samuel!!! Every KZbinr need to learn from you !!!!!!!!!!!

[@-grey]

Such outstanding quality in every aspect. This oozes effort and creative vision. ✌️ Those black and white leica files look incomparable.

[@uwevonderwehd]

Danke Samuel für dieses epische Video aus meiner bayerischen Heimat. Weckt Erinnerungen aus meiner Jugend. Habs mir schon ein paar Mal angesehen. 🙏🙏🙏

[@giorgosiliopoulos8233]

Thanks so much for this Samuel. I felt like I was discovering a new medium/format of storytelling while watching this. Very inspiring. Keep it up! G.

[@lukeschwandt8068]

I’ve watched your videos for some time felt as though you featured others rather than yourself so upon watching this last piece I believe you’ve made a tremendous breakthrough! Video excellent, stills absolutely stunning and so I became a subscriber. Keep on this path. I’m a Leica shooter and have been since 2013 will never switch. Equipment DOES matter regardless of what anyone says but using these tools in the way you did was magnificent so I cheer you my friend! Keep this idea of doing projects as a template not sure you can beat the work you did here, if you do I’ll be looking forward to your next. Pro level work! Just well done, be proud of this! Gratz!

[@aslipperysnake]

Wow! Everything is so well done, I could watch hours of this.

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Nice! Happy to hear that.

[@lalorosas6946]

This is just beautiful, amazing video, photoes and music!

[@silvatorresart]

This is one of my favorites from 2020 i must say! I just wish it was an hour long :) The last 2 minutes in the film are idyllic, the culmination of a great pace you put in the narrative for this short story, combined with amazing photos! I have been twice to Bavaria (Munich) and both times came back with the sensation that it is very similar to Northern Portugal, both the nature, the urban style, the people... Munich reminds me so much of oPorto. Keep them coming! And that Leica M... Looks like it must be better than nice! :D

[@SamuelStreetlife]

First of all: It is very nice :D haha. Yes, south germany and the alps are very beautiful! Interesting to hear it feels similar to Northern Portugal :) One day I would love to visit Portugal. Thank you for your comment!

[@taterandy3958]

Love love love .... mach weiter so Samuel !!!

[@brandonsaulphoto]

This captured all of my attention from the beginning to the end. Also really did make me feel a sense of peace and connection to nature. Truly an amazing work , from the narrative at the beginning, to the photos, videography, and audio. VERY well done sir, I just subscribed haha.

[@ryanturner5202]

I felt very peaceful watching this, thank you. This is one of our best videos yet Samuel, loved the audio and the black and white photographs were simply beautiful.

[@seddam]

Such a beautiful place. Photos are great too!

[@garymorrow9324]

Your work has grown so much since I started watching you. More creative. Interesting. In the case of this vid...beautiful. Gary

[@julioguima8126]

Lin!!!! This is the best work that you ever made here. So emotional!! So beautiful!! The soundtrack is very immersive. Wow!! Don't stop man!!!

[@TonyJohnsonPhotos]

Super. Well-crafted, great photography, video, all of it. It's a great study in modern documentary technique and style. Masterful.

[@abchappell01]

I absolutely love your work here. It was absolutely beautiful!

[@theronsan]

I loved the black & white photos.

[@pechovitchbranislav763]

And now something completely different..... Refreshing and beautiful. Thx.

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Thank you! I enjoyed editing this.

[@Aeroslash72]

Amazing video!!! These B&W pictures are sooooo good!!! It must be nice! 😉

[@deanc5000]

Excellent video. The fisherman segment was a sort of mini-doc style which is my favorite format for short films. I could almost smell that fish coming out of the smoker. You should do more of that as you seem to be good at it.

[@sunflower32]

It's a wonderful video.👏👏👏 I loved your black & white photos. 😊

[@eduardhomola1261]

The best I've seen on this channel. Bloody good job! 👍👍👍

[@pinmag]

So nice, I love the black and white year. This photo reminds me of the avalanche scene from “force majeure”.

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Thanks Waylon!

[@TheArizonaHooligan]

My heart wept at the masterful creation you have presented. The imagery, still and motion, tells the story without the need of assistance from the dialogue. Thank you for sharing this story.

[@vichethm5763]

Well done Sam! That Leica M typ 262 looking good. Beautiful cinematography and images!

[@KyleRandall]

This is such wonderful work. Truly the most peaceful video I’ve seen on your channel. Thank you for asking the question about nature and being away from the city. Being in nature brings us back to center and this video did just that.

[@yasha8951]

loved the shots of the dry fish

[@rgarciamainou]

Love your reflexive travel videos. Nice atmosphere. Nice gear. It must be nice. 😂

[@fabiopimentel6981]

Oh god, this is so beautiful !!! Sam you are a genius!!

[@wcwendychapman]

Beautiful images. My favorite of your videos.

[@deepseadiver8191]

Man, you made me drool over myself when I saw the smoked fish! There's nothing better in this world than following your nose and discovering a nearby smoking shed.

[@chrisdowswell]

Beautiful!!!! The combination and interview, bts and still images is awesome!!! Great story telling.

[@luvysi]

Such a pleasure for my eyes to see this video. Content, music, sounds, silent, pictures, little chat... all works together. Great creative work!

[@christinacooperfilm]

Love the peacefulness of this. Beautiful images. The interview was lovely. Thank you for sharing!

[@ElusiveFrame]

This was different... In a very good way! Great job Samuel. I could really feel the vibe of the fisherman's lifestyle and the emptiness of the last snowy place you visited.

[@SamuelStreetlife]

That is great to hear! Glad you liked it :)

[@ribsy]

Hell yea. This is awesome. Great documentary

[@robinsanphotography]

Seriously awesome ! I saw, I`m not the only one to be amazed. This video and thoses pictures, gorgeous work

[@Rotfuchsiii]

Von all deinen Videos gefällt mir dieses am meisten!

[@dan-le-brun]

Some really lovely photography and storytelling there. Noticed the classic ‘Lintaro lean’ technique up the top of the mountain. I must practice that.

[@stefanmillitzer9666]

Just rewatched this video: Samuel goes Adams. Respect!

[@smalltownsavouries]

Those photos were incredible. Loved the lighting in 7:30 and the landscape reminded me of LOTR.

[@Notwilliamafton441]

Bravo samuel san...bravo..i like this photojournalisic style of yours, you managed to capture the moments, the tranquility of the people in their habitat..once again great job..you have a good eye for subjects that really matters.. P.s #must be nice shooting with a leica

[@ChritsianBucic]

Good short story on this subject, the musical atmosphere, the editing, and format of this vlog 👌🏻

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Thank you Christian! I wished we had more time to visit more people but grateful for the opportunity nonetheless!

[@paulsehstedt6275]

Sehr gut hinbekommen, wunderbare Reportage und aussagekräftige s/w Fotos.

[@robertoposa1120]

Mega cooles video und photos - der sound der M 262 ist absolut geil

[@calavergne]

This video is so relaxing. So pure.

[@luismrmartins3d]

Photography-wise I think this is my favorite video you ever made. Well done!

[@Slightlyhungryartist]

Beautiful cinematography and still images. Love this story, this whole video is ace.

[@MegaRobinh]

[@Jd10401]

One of ma favorite videos. Good job.

[@Grant_Seymour_]

This is wonderful, Sam! Thank you for sharing such beautiful work.

[@diegomayafotografia8856]

Love the mood of this video, so relaxing and introspective. It made me feel a little sad too, but in a good way. I guess is that time of the year. Anyway, congratulations for a beautiful work.

[@munyachawora390]

Wow! Top notch and some of your best work!

[@mediamasmedia]

The quality of this video is impressive at all levels: image quality, sound, pictures, rhythm, story...everything! Very inspiring. Congratulations!

[@ownvideofootage]

This kind of content is why I'm a subscriber... Very good one

[@GMOsev3n]

Wahnsinnig gutes Video! Dachte schon gleich am Anfang die Fischer Geschichte so dermaßen gut gemacht - könnte man direkt so auf ARTE ausstrahlen. Wirkt super professionell und nimmt mich gleich voll mit. Super ineinander gekommen die Video und Fotos und Storytelling. Schau mir eh gern deine Sachen an insbesondere Potato Vlogs. Bin also eh schon super Content gewohnt von dir. Das hier ist krass anders und auch sehr geil! Erinnert ein bisschen an die Teakwondo Sache die du mal gemacht hast, so Video Foto Portrait Reportage Ding mit rotem Faden in den geilen Shots aber klar komplett anders umgesetzt. Super Sound, weiß man manchmal nicht mal bei den Fotos ob’s nicht grad ne Video ist. Bringt’s sehr zum Leben nochmal. Schreib seltenst was aber echt - mega geflasht. Dabei hattest du dich ja quasi schon verabschiedet aus diesem naja fällt mir nix mehr zu ein - Jahr... Hey - mega geiles Teil wollte ich eigentlich nur sagen!!! Big ups aus St. Pauli 👍🏻

[@davehenderson9105]

Lovely work my friend I really enjoyed this

[@strokerpete3996]

Very nice, quiet and calm. Meets the right time.

[@shakumoto_jpeg]

a peaceful piece of art ❤

[@nathanielnonis999]

This was Beautiful to watch. More of this Samual!

[@herculeesrockerfelow]

Wow! Its really good to see other peoples work exploring different narratives, its Such a nice change. Kudos mate , it was refreshing, relaxing & intriguing. Much love 🙏🙌

[@MrJlo1969]

Very beautiful video. And the pictures... WOOOO!!!!! You have found YOUR CAMERA.

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Haha, thanks Jean :)

[@Rasmus98]

Love your pictures as always! Hope you’re staying safe

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Thank you! YOu, too!

[@jaeAre200]

Beautiful work brotha!! We need more videos like this on youtube. More STORY!!! Opens up for beautiful docu-style photos.

[@kennethbradley]

Wow...this was so beautifully captured and edited. Well done!

[@DarkstarDarth]

Epic scenery, reminded me so much of Heavenly Valley in Lake Tahoe on many ski trips. Thanks for sharing🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@MiladJP]

Sensei Taro at its best again! Great video, the sound, the music.... Very good topic. Great storytelling.! Love the images. Great B/W tones. love it!

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Thanks man :) Danke danke!

[@tellyourstorymusicbyikson]

Beutifully shot & thanks for the subtitles! Was interesting!

[@MrWiseinheart]

Duuude this was so well done👍 sound photos video all tied into a great story line, top notch .

[@ferdiyansurya]

Hi Sam, nicely done! I really enjoyed watching it!

[@jordhon]

Wow such an incredible film Samuel! Made me want to head to the mountains and shoot some B+W. Absolutely loved the images and the b-roll. The ambient sounds were so relaxing too. I hope you make more videos like this! Thank you

[@samueljames9015]

Doesn't get much better, nice work

[@philhasacamera]

really lovely and atmospheric video

[@JayRegular]

beautiful images Samuel! images, videos and sound all tie well together, great watch

[@clintwoosley9512]

Great video all the way down to the sound design. The photos were integrated perfectly!

[@TheGazmondo]

This was brilliantly shot like it was something you were interested in, not some meaningless chance photo that could be forgiven because of the name street attached to it. These photos communicate, and are consistently good quality. You don’t get pictures like these from the hip !!

[@KeithHodgkinson]

This video was exceptional.A very interesting documentary piece which suited the Leica.Great stuff.

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Glad to hear you liked it :)

[@prajnadiptorakshit5019]

Loved everything about the video

[@MrPellegrini]

Hey Samuel! Echt klasse Video! Super viel Herz steckt da drin... Die Interview Situation hätte man noch schöner darstellen können, aber ich mag die ruhigen und unaufgeregten Bilder! Klasse, Kompliment und Grüße aus der Pfaz!

[@onigrapher]

Wow simply amazing video feels so raw and alive as if your in it 😖. Again brilliant 👏🏼
