A day in New York never fails to inspire and produce amazing moment. Well done making these, I always love your work!

[@stephaneg]

Yet another masterpiece Faizal. So much talent is intimidating and inspiring at the same time... You're awesome!

[@FaizalWestcott]

Thank you so much 😀

[@theluckystreet]

can we all agree that Faizal should print his own photobook. His shots remind me so much of ernst haas and vivian maier

[@paulhickey6896]

Some really amazing pics! Great video, I really enjoyed it. Thanks!

[@VinceSPonki]

Great! Thank you!!!.. photos are wonderful!!! Seeing things is a good ability!!!..

You really have a good eye & can spot interesting visual potential - a real gift. Very street. I'm envious!

[@juanpablopatinopuerta6693]

thanks a lot to share this video, it´s so inspirational for me and i´ll be back at downtown next week.

[@PoojaShravan]

We have said this before and we're saying it again... that first frame is enough to convice us about the entire video. Great work again Faizal. Big fans from India❤. We have learnt a great deal about frames and compositions watching your videos.

[@theluckystreet]

he should release his own photobook

[@Shotbyflow]

Beautiful photography and video , Bravo

[@tom.allez2134]

Pretty inspiring shots. Love the video

[@CosmoVlog]

This video is so calming!!!

[@mitch-lawless]

The self-portrait at 6:00 is perhaps my favourite self-portrait I've ever seen.

[@jdmnostalgic3913]

Omg I am getting into photography. I am so glad I found you. I will be binge all ur videos. Thanks for everything

[@lizcastcollaz1432]

Your pictures are amazing.. enjoyed this learning segment … what a gift… thank you for sharing …

[@FaizalWestcott]

I really appreciate that :)

[@mattgermond7957]

Beautiful video! And inspirational since these are my stomping grounds for work! Thanks for sharing!

[@Rumplestiltskin7]

I love the tilt you sometimes do with the camera, can you tell us what makes you compose that way?

[@Thegracious02]

Pretty photos!! Could you do a video for beginners how to approach in street photography? Love from Italy ⭐️🧸💌💻🤍

[@rossandhisjpegs]

Thanks Faizal. This was a joy to watch!

[@jean-francois2180]

Another really inspiring video Faizal! Love your laidback style and approach. And your imagery deserves an exhibit in a gallery,

[@ekberkin]

Thank you for this inspiring work. I wish you many photo days.

[@andreanipascal9757]

I love your work !! Great job!

[@jimmycapp29]

So good. Love this video...no equipment talk, just shooting. I'm a street photographer in NYC too and really appreciate your eye on this great city. Would love to walk around and shoot with you sometime.

[@keithspangler4814]

Faizal I enjoyed viewing your work in the video. NiceEye!

[@ElusiveFrame]

I love the chill vibe of your videos. 🙌

[@arturgajewskiphotog]

I just got my X-T30 II with 27mm f/2.8 and we are going to New York in April 2024, can't wait to get to shoot in Manhattan!

[@bostonbravenec]

You're so good it's stupid. It's such a gift what you're giving me as a beginner who started out a year ago not knowing jack squat about this craft and now I can take photos with such confidence and with the knowledge that I am getting better day by day. I can see the years of hard work in every photo you take. Thank you :)

[@Apachers]

What a fantastic mood. And plenty of inspiration, as usual. Love it!

[@ticonderogafutterman3111]

Nice images. It would be perhaps a good idea to include focal length and lens in the info presented with each image as this would eliminate the guesswork...

[@Christian_from_Copenhagen]

Lovely as always. I see several people urging you to make a photo book, and I agree! I wish more photographers on KZbin made photo books in general.

[@peternoah6689]

You have such an amazing eye. Your vids are really inspiring!

[@KillerTacos54]

Wow this is amazing. Love the music choices too

[@lezapzap311]

We are watching a genius at work. Thank you for sharing your process and photos. So good!

[@232HelloWorld]

I have the same lens for my Sony A6000.. such a versatile lens and incredibly useful for an everyday walkabout lens! Great shots.

[@theluckystreet]

yo Faizal! When are you going to release your own photobook???!!! Omg your shots remind me so much of my favorite photographer Ernst Haas. Please release a photobook!!!

[@bjhelder]

Some of your best work. Fantastic.

[@davidsierra637]

This was a great photo walk.

[@jessewillem]

Good to see another photographer doing POV photography. I was just in Asia for 7 months filming POV videos & shooting photo's but the USA looks like it might be my next trip after seeing videos like these! Thanks for the video mate 🙏

[@dvrkmattercollective]

just bought my first fuji camera and ran across your page bro. your video and photo composition is really inspiring. thanks for the added motivation to get out and create more. love

[@GuliversTravelocity]

I absolutely love your work. I think that your photography is just as good if not better than some of the “great photographers” that I have studied. Absolutely talented!

[@wusicong9010]

it is so beautiful. your video also provides me an idea to do my documentary assignment lol.

[@bonch1985]

Amazing!

[@wernermomberg9639]

Exceptional, as always. Please keep doing what you’re doing. Watching your videos not only help me find new ways to go about composition and subject selection, but camera settings and choices etc. Currently preparing for my first street photography trip to Melbourne Australia and your videos have helped so incredibly much. Thank you

[@bastienhuet656]

Wow this is so good! Some really nice photos in this video. I especially love all the ones with motion blurs. No places like NYC. Thanks for sharing, mate.

[@NSEW_Mag]

wow- creative composition. and that opening shot- the symmetry... hell yes! great video- thank you

[@lisamorter7437]

Been here for a while and really enjoyed this style of video. Really enjoy your channel>

[@martinglb]

Always a pleasure to watch your POV videos Faizal. Great job!

[@duncand.881]

Wow your photos remind me so much of Saul Leiter. Really been loving what you've been posting on IG and youtube. Also you somehow manage to nail an almost kodachrome look with Fuji that is pretty hard to make without looking cheesy or having an uncannyness to it. Thank you for the inspiration and really enjoying your work recently!

[@IgorSurjan]

This was so fun to watch. Your photos are so great and inspirational. This video can be watched multiple times and that fact says everything 👏👏👏

[@SonyaCarter-v1i]

amazing I'm sold

[@jannesmalte3280]

8:37! I love that one, the colors, the composition... just super fascinating! Could watch these videos for hours :)

[@ericzedd]

Absolute stunning shots on here Faizal. Just breath taking.

[@JoeHarris-zg3jn]

Thanks for sharing your process.

[@BeingRean]

Beautiful film

[@markpeam8549]

Great stuff. I need to try 6400 some time, you're getting great DoF and freezing movement. Keep them coming :)

[@coleb7644]

the photo at 9:23 is pure perfection. I’d wager the color version is so dreamy with the sun casting down on the scene

[@busterjohnson2516]

Really good work. Especially your inclusion of the environment elements in your pictures. It makes it feel like you're there....peeking around things.

[@ivunchow]

As always, beautiful stuff my man 👍🏻👌🏻

[@aliboty]

You're phenomenal. A big inspiration for me. Keep it up!

[@Sec0016]

I really appreciate your work! And by this, I mean your photography AND your videos. It's great, that you take us with you photographing but also with your thoughts about photography itself. Keep it rolling!

[@andinugraha694]

I love this video Bro, i feel like in 90s. Probably because music in this video but i very love 💕💕💕

[@nickyap5735]

Yo! love how chill this is, and that it has no commentary! Your shots are casual, chill, and experimental, love it! it's very inspiring :0

[@StevenLawson]

Hey Faizal, I loved this video - I really enjoy the way you see and capture the world. It's photography, but it's not just street photography, it's so much more observational and creative, and close to the way I try to approach photographing the streets. Great job!

[@Hello_2304_]

Great shoots, love ur content btw

[@alexdelimapaula837]

There at the beginning of the video there is that exit from the subway station, man, there you could explore a lot. It would certainly leave excellent photographs, and even inside the station. Here in São Paulo, Brazil, we like to explore train stations, subways and bus terminals, it makes for good pictures.

[@shaunclarke1772]

Great video, great captures, great camera. As a relative newby, can I ask which lenses you were using Faizal?

[@soethan.1349]

Good idea for street photography and what to use, camera, lens and filter on videos camera. Thank?

[@bb_frames]

Incredible photo walk Faizal! loved those fence frames 😁

[@andrewdennes1608]

A fantastic set of street photographs! Nice work.

[@nachohernandez9491]

What fuji are you using? Great pics by the way.....

[@arulkhoja]

Amazing video, what kind of lens do you use?

[@thaliseyes3513]

Your photography is so inspiring 💕 I would love to see shots with an xt30 II

[@valantisjpg]

Nice music, nice video overall once again!

[@jojong5521]

Beautiful photography

[@ulrichrivers5647]

Hey, I really like your videos, I was wondering what cam you are using to record your videos. keep up the wonderful work :-)

[@troesplain]

I really like it how right at time stamp 4:10, you showed what you were doing with the “lowering” your shutter speed so you could get some motion blur. This helps me as I am a beginner photographer that is absorbing as much tips and tricks as I can to do well as I go out to shoot street photography. 👍🏼

[@nadia_salima]

Breathtaking work my brudduh

[@henrykkim]

This is my first time seeing your photos and I really enjoyed it. I was just in NYC over the last weekend with X100V. I was with my friends so I couldn’t take as many photos, but NYC is definitely the place with many inspirations and subjects to capture. Really inspired me to play around with my other lens and X-T4 to try other than 35mm.

[@Byte_J]

Love your photos. I'd love to go shooting with you the next time you're in NYC.

[@aliceblla]

i started photography very recently and you inspire me a lot! i learned a lot thanks to your channel, your pictures are amazing and i aspire to do stuff as good as yours someday

[@markbradshaw7753]

Your lens 18-50 Sigma?Do you find it blows a breeze into your eye when you zoom in and out?I tried one and it was very strong and forceful…wondered if yours is the same.

[@dmust2161]

Bro ,u really got so much decisive moment and that guiding line composition so mesmerizing 👍👍👍

[@Tnyfilm]

Awesome

[@riorsihombing]

You are inspiring Faizal!

[@joshuaaruiz]

Amazing video, after watching your videos I get inspired to go and take photos too. It would be great if you could add the focal lengths for the photos, in curious to know what you used mostly

[@paulasimson4939]

You're as good a filmmaker/storyteller, as you are a photographer. The music choice and ambient city sounds complement your work so well. Love it!

[@kingephotos]

Loved the ski mask flick! Great video fam! ❤️

[@kevvy22]

Are you currently using Lightroom or capture 1?

[@anils.rkumar6551]

Amazing Shots

[@sayakakunze2394]

It’s a good day to wake up to a new video! Awesome shots. I recently sold my larger cameras because of how unsafe I’ve felt lately and just went with the two ricohs and the teleconverter. Have you ever felt the same? I’m a 4’11 woman and like to shoot alone 😔 so it’s been kind of rough ever since Covid it seems like. Also! Have you ever tried artichoke pizza?! It’s what I look forward to the most when I visit my wife’s family in NYC and then street photography 💁🏻‍♀️📸

[@the.jonfernandez]

Great video and photos man! Next time you're in Chinatown, would love to photowalk with you. Enjoy your time in Monaco!

[@crashryanphoto]

The Wall Street photos sadden me ... the street was so much more alive 25 years ago.

[@happy-vc4wz]

Nice Photo ❤

[@vor_ben]

How do you get that red halo around the light sources? I would love to know, how you achieve that effect. I bet it is done in post :)

[@dashonaubrey1321]

Formidable as always, Faizal. I’d love to see some motion blur with Ektachrome or Ektar (if you’re shooting film these days).

[@zavtravels4546]

What lenses do you use? I see one of them is Sigma 18-50, I believe. What other lenses?

[@tmsmeulders]

First lens is Konica M-Hexanon 50mm f/2 😊
