Faizal Westcott on Leica, New York and Opinions

[@RumoHasIt]

Im such a big fan of Faizal, who is the entire reason I found your channel to begin with. Love seeing you two support each other and all the recent trips. I feel like im in a photography youtube extended universe with cross overs and cameos 😂❤

[@snapsbyfox]

Thank you!

[@nicolasguillenc]

You can tell you are real friends because the interview is more relaxed. If it was a rare guest you would expect deep, rehearsed and insightful answers. I like how chill it was and it shows you just enjoy being out with friends and a camera!

[@gcadiz]

best part of this is seeing Faizal laugh, he seems so relaxed and like he’s having a great time with his buddy

[@rhyno23rjr]

I'm glad there was a part two. Faizal is one of my favorite YT cinematographers who happens to take amazing photos. Love this series that you're doing with other photographers.

[@susieq5122]

Love Faisal’s work. That shot of his you highlight, girl with umbrella in white skirt is just gorgeous. Love watching his growth.

[@sunnygsm]

Love Faizal's approach. The shot at 6:40 is so good.

[@AlexOnStreets]

And accepting failure as a constant, knowing it will always be there to humble you again no matter how much you succeed.

[@ForeverBrooklynNYC]

13:22 Faizal did NOT butcher this interview - his authenticity and sincerity is so endearing that any time spent watching/listening to him is time very well-spent!

[@JamesABloomfield]

Two of the best street photographers of the current era having a chat. You love to see it.

[@RS-Amsterdam]

Finally a channel that ventilates some sense with good arguments. Shoot for yourself where as others only look at the views and comments after they published their YT video and change the next video to please the crowd. Carry on guys. 🎉

[@snapsbyfox]

Thank you!

[@StefanBacum]

Great vid Roman! Always enjoy seeing Faizal and his images!

[@KillerTacos54]

Faizal the GOAT!

[@robertobreve8623]

Nice to see Faizal’s real personality

[@friedrichehrendorfer4017]

Thanks! Really refreshing interview.

[@erenjam]

Beautiful 🎬

[@jimmycapp29]

Great video! You two are my favorites that I've been following since I started my journey with photography 3 years ago. Love both of your channels, keep up the great work. Hope to run across your paths here in NYC sometime!

[@emcook1]

Really liked the candor and impromtu non-scripted responces from Faizal. Fun to watch!!!

[@2DogAle]

I really like these interviews you have been doing. But, I love the ones with people you really know, especially Faizal. it looks like you two have a great relationship and respect for each other. I love how relaxed you both are in this video that’s for sure. Great content and thank goodness Faizal finally got a Leica and became a “Real” photographer 😏

[@mattia.wanders]

Loved the authenticity 🙌

[@ohmwai]

finally, the interviews are back.

[@bushbeatnik4480]

What you covered at TS:14:00 ish, accepting failure, is key. Whether in life, Biz, Photo, whatever, one needs the freedom, if not the luxury depending on the context, to fail. If not, one will never become successful. love the vid.

[@marcokleinert1827]

A lot of words of wisdom 😇👍

[@kevvy22]

So interesting. I always found rangefinder easier for shooting in portrait. You can also wear a hat and hold the camera to your eye easier.

[@UlyssesAokiPhoto]

The way Roman said "Thypoch" at around 5:50 🤣🤣

[@FaizalWestcott]

LMAO TYPOCK

[@ChristineWilsonPhotography]

The Leica made you a real photographer 😅 seriously very nice interview, i do like Faizels work 😊

[@calsimeth1588]

If you're back in NYC you should interview Hugh Brownstone.

[@simonbnyc]

I would agree with Faizal's observations. Nobody cares about cameras in New York. I also live there and shoot in all kinds of neighborhoods but I'm pretty much invisible. I'm only ever hassled by security guards! As for shooting for yourself, not a specific audience, Faizal's right on the money there as well. And I always take my camera everywhere I go!

[@blakeandrew2158]

Accepting this second interview as a failure is part of the process lol jk . Good job Roman, faizal def has a ton more knowledge to offer, I know just based on how he speaks in his own channel lol

[@Aperature_F4]

This was far more interesting. We can safely say that Tokyo etc is now photographed to death, to the point it was becoming boring.

[@theend1588]

Roman Fox interview Ft. Faizal

[@dimitristsagdis7340]

How profound: people around the world are not New Yorkers :-)) lol

[@snapsbyfox]

I hope you took note of this crazy fact

[@so_chan17]

He is Roman's bestie🤣

Woah, your little photography book looks incredible mate! I think I need to pick up a copy 🫣
