Wonderful video! I love the fact that there's no overload of music in your videos. It tells the story (of your pictures but also of the video itself) with a lot more depth imho. Excellent.

[@cbr_n]

It's almost ASMR, good for the eyes AND the ears!

[@tuhinsaha8853]

All of the clicks are so eye pleasing. Loved them all. ❤

[@houssam6249]

Ive discovered your channel a few weeks ago and i feel honored that such a talented photographer visited my country. Welcome to morocco! 🇲🇦❤

[@DiViVeMa18]

It's amazing. Cats everywhere!

[@ArchiesLens]

The blues come across so vibrant and punchy in those photos, wow!💮✨

[@robertgall92]

Your videos are like a photographic meditation. I love them!

[@refugeenius]

Gorgeous work, it's candy for the eyes!

[@leolaesser6516]

Watching your video feels like travelling, with this light, joyous feeling you get from discovering a new place…

[@martinhendry]

Big fan of your use of fences and gates as geometric armatures in the pieces. A nice emerging style and theme.

[@salmasabhira]

truly a melancholic video. every shot spills so many feelings combined, which i love

[@infrontofstrangers]

Enjoyed this one! Wonderful location and calming walk.

[@momochi__]

So bluetiful 💙🩵🤍

[@stoiCasey]

Sometimes watching your videos makes me feel calmer. Through your POV videos, every time you press the shutter, I also think about what kind of composition I will press the shutter in your position. I can feel the tempture through your photos. This is also what I always try to put first in photography: story and temperature. Love your photos, keep shoting.

[@julialucas6626]

I love this video 💙💙💙 So calming walking the streets with you. Thank you for sharing Faizal

[@sehmuzb]

I have been watching your videos for a while. This is by far the best photography I have seen from you, and looks almost effortless. I think you have achieved a big milestone in your photography.

[@markw3267]

I am catching up on your videos today and am loving that they are little vignettes of your travels. Keep up the new format.

[@kotin24]

너무 좋은 사진 감사합니다. 아름답습니다.

[@Andygharrison]

Probably your most beautiful video to date - well done man

[@Babumoshaaai]

8:22 time and youth captured so beautifully.

[@julesc5571]

So beautiful! What an amazing place. Every video is a gem 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@jonasvandermeiren]

Thanks for all the beautiful video's, Faizal!

[@Ian-sv7py]

What a fascinating place to visit and photograph, a great story. Many thanks for sharing

[@Ethanwongjk]

this is so beautiful, love your artwork Faizal.

[@Fuegoshotz]

So colorful and vibrant there! Love it. Need more places like this around Portland, OR.

[@enricpuig5219]

Very beautiful images/photos and video!

[@charleslsmith2012]

Outstanding Faizel, you have a great eye for color and composition. I truly enjoy and eagerly await your videos. Safe travels to you.

[@lorenschwiderski]

Your best video, without a doubt. You have many fine photos from that day. 🤓

[@PeterArnold1969]

Street Photography ASMR at its finest. Thanks, Faizal, for another enjoyable video.

[@Gawx2]

beautiful intro, what a place!!

[@yesmine]

Your channel is perfect for those who want to get into photography like myself! Much love

[@cristiantotan]

I've come across your videos on my KZbin recommended a couple of times... I don't know what it is but this video made me feel such a sense of peace and longing that I haven't felt in a while, especially in photography. I'm going to Africa this summer and this video helped me get inspired. My biggest regret of last year was selling my X100v & now I want a little Ricoh to make up for thank sense of emptiness that my Fuji left me. Just felt right to hit that subscribe button at the end of this video. Thanks, Faizal

[@amostam4360]

I like the blue tone

[@brenbread_]

beautiful photos, and I also very much appreciate the cat photos

[@sanggamnapitupulu]

I love this video! The scenes were very calming...

[@robertobreve8623]

So wonderful and beautiful

[@developingtank]

I'm seeing a lot of "dutch angles" in your work lately. Is this something you're actively going out of your way to do? If so, what spurred this?

[@qu14torze82]

Chefchaouen, Morocco. Beautiful photos.

[@zenquad]

Is this Chefchaouen in Marocco? Absolutely a gem that i feel like i must visit some day

[@Sara-tp6zd]

you have done a great job filming this video as well! Makes me wanna visit!

[@Mrkikis100]

amazing episode and photos

[@iamandrewpatterson]

I found your channel a little while ago (researching the elusive XT5) and your videos are so beautifully made and soundtracked that I’ve taken to watching them on the big TV because my laptop and phone don’t feel adequate.

[@mikejay1130]

Is it elusive?

[@iamandrewpatterson]

@@mikejay1130 when I left that comment it was! I couldn’t find it in stock anywhere here in Australia for a little while, but it’s available in a few places now (probably not for long).

[@sayakakunze2394]

Those blues are dreamy ❤

[@andrewdturton4535]

Love these kind of videos……. Please do more !

[@the.jonfernandez]

Beautiful.

[@PhillipJ]

Beautiful work!!👏👏👏👍

[@AnthonyJGianotti]

What a cool looking place

[@Ronniealdo]

Such a beautiful video. Thanks for everything you do. As far as camera settings, could you please explain your thought process behind shooting in P mode and AV? When and why? Thanks so much, lately I've been in Shutter Priority a lot.

[@abde3786]

Amazing photo ❤

[@jeffreyzie]

Beautiful city

[@bostonbravenec]

Thank you...

[@philouver]

✨🙌✨📷excellent vidéo thank you

[@jamesford_jp]

So many cats… looks like HEAVEN 🤩😂

[@vn3953]

Очень умиротворяющая прогулка!

[@bradmcauliffe]

Hi Faizal, do you have a video showing how you film these POV videos? I would've imagined juggling filming whilst taking these shots would be difficult but you make it look so simple. Cheers

[@yaelnoij3124]

You manage to portray the exact feelings I got when I was in Chefchouen. Truely a gem and mindblowing peaceful when you visit in the right time. Very inspiring way of photographing and filming, blending them together to a single presentation of this special place.

[@Theirrelephant]

Love this video.

[@OmarFaruk-er1wk]

This was so peaceful and immersive! Could I ask, what the ambient soundtrack is, and if you have any favorites? What's your thought process like for adding music to the video?

[@iseethings4218]

Those blues 🔥

[@kevinscotton]

This was really beautiful. The handheld video compositions are what I really connect to. I think you would produce some great results with 120 film and a 6x7 camera. Truly enjoyed the relaxed nature of the shots that found themselves not worried about horizon lines and were shot more from a Dutch angle. I’ll be considering this with my work more in the future because of it 🫡

[@adeon27]

That Ricoh has a sort of magic

[@haarismalik6297]

Love the cats!

[@Peoplemag]

I sold a camera and was looking to buy this little guy..then I bought a lens and flash for my xpro-3 and noww I’m wondering if I made the right decision. Great video and I guess I gotta spend another $900.. love your work.

[@FacesOfLA]

By far one of the best videos to put yourself to sleep

[@AntonioStephon]

The last Off-White campaign was shot there 🔥

[@sonicdrone]

Hi Faizal! I was wondering what you use for your pov footage? Do you use a GoPro with one of those chest mounts? Or something else? Thank you 🙏 I really love your work Hi from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@Galeidan]

Loved those heart shaped ornaments inside that iron fence at 3:44 How great it would have been if there was some couple kissing or just holding each others hands and you would have photographed them through that heart. Although I assume its not common to show such feelings out in public in their culture?

[@andreadamore1703]

if you ever come to italy and tuscany please let me know, I would like to go out and learn from youyr work while taking you to the less touristic places in italy and tuscany

[@19demian]

wow this is extremely beautiful! does anyone know the aspect ratio of this video?

[@nabeel626]

Why does this video seem like a therapy?

[@herbertthebault-candau4139]

your video is beautiful dude

[@rRhyan]

5:13 When I open my phone camera and forgot to flip it the last time I have it opened

[@21monking]

Anyone know the history of this city? why collectively they decided to paint everything blue? So beautiful and interesting

[@thomasjames7644]

I heard the blue is supposed to help keep mosquitoes away.

[@jakedelcastillo3719]

Are you using the TX-5 for the short videos in the beginning?

[@venividdivici0]

👏👏 what lens did you used on the xt5?

[@thejerrycliff]

How did you get the PD connector string through the tiny hole on the Ricoh??

[@JacobChristiansen1]

Nice video, but what's up with every hip photo youtuber using 4:3 for their videos now?

[@napolcomnueve4371]

what's your ideal shutter speed for this situation?

[@bencentgohing1312]

[@PrudhviMitra]

What did you shoot this video on ?

[@itonuoro3813]

Where is this place?

[@andrew_nayes]

Looks like Chefchaouen in Morocco.

[@larrysalaets7088]

Very photogenic location!

[@mohasony6984]

🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦❤️❤️

[@joedinhart]

cat C:

[@TopshelfJunior]

It seems like everytime I go to buy this camera, my brain always says...."you won't use it. Your iPhone is catching up.." Then I log off Amazon.

[@szajbsonbm4506]

You are not a real photographer if you dont take a photo of every cat you see .

[@MrGavinbrownemail]

Your best yet I think. Well done.

[@manfrombkk]
