Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I watch Willem's videos on company time

[@bngr_bngr]

For every dollar your boss makes you get a 10% cut? That’s a sweet deal.

“It doesn’t get searched, it doesn’t get a ton of views but it’s not about gear it’s not about what I’m shooting with, it’s just about going out with some friends” words to live by

[@raccoonankles2740]

Honestly my favorite type of video from willem.

[@Steve918-q3x]

Man, could not agree more.

[@rossxjohnson]

65K views later. Still love his videos. Pure visual poetry.

[@lennardm4752]

I cannot comprehend how this is not getting as many views as it deserves. I love the calmness, soothing music and only essential talking paired with beautiful images. Videos like this are giving me so much i cannot even describe. Please never stop doing these, thank you.

[@WillemVerb]

I appreciate it thank you! :)

[@taranspictures]

These truly are his best videos. There is something about them, that like you said , i cannot describe but its amazing!

[@bellawitten3190]

so much respect for you for staying true to what you love. These are my favourite videos they are truly so beautiful and I get so stoked every time you post one.

[@WillemVerb]

Means a lot

[@ishmamrahman983]

that last shot is truly breathtaking. some of your best work

[@taranspictures]

as soon as i saw the footage i knew it was going to be crazy but i was not prepared for how good of a photo it was!

[@matthewdowton3369]

your true fans want to see videos you’re passionate about not the algorithm. your passion shines through much more when you make these kinds of videos and in turn we enjoy them more. much love from australia.

[@WillemVerb]

That means a lot! I think people who watch closely can see that a video about a camera or something else is filler for the algorithm but this is really the stuff I enjoy making and I'm very happy to hear that it shows. Always trying to find that balance

[@TiffanyE625]

WILLEM! WTH! This is one of your best videos/images by far that I've seen. Everything in its essence is literally sublime. I think I cried a bit, the moment that broke me was the moon and its reflection over the water. Damn. California had a lot for you and your friends to capture! Seriously love this series, keep at it!!!!!!!

[@WillemVerb]

Thank you :')

[@michaelbennettphoto]

As much as you love making these videos, I love watching them. I love how simple and centered around the images they are. Lovely work as always Willem.

[@WillemVerb]

Glad you like them! Thank you

[@DFLAstro]

I don’t normally comment on videos, but that final image was just phenomenal, great work Willem

[@WillemVerb]

Thank you!

[@RodrigoVazquez91]

This video right here is the kind of content someone does when there’s real passion and love in the mind of the content creator. No dron footage, no super annoying dubstep music every 5 seconds, no slow motion effects and glitch transitions with billions of views where you’re not sure if the video is a photography vlog or just a fashion cinematic ad. This is real photography.

[@nicolasalvarado2511]

These are my favorite type of videos!! So much respect for sticking to what your heart desires.

[@yusufxqais]

a year or two ago you made a video w joe greer where you guys travelled and documented it through film. It was my favourite video of yours. I returned to that video countless times. And now i have to say this has taken up the top spot for me. Ill watch this beyond time immeasurable. Thank you Willem!

[@WillemVerb]

Thank you, I believe that video is taken down in some regions (although they don't tell me where) because an artist who's song I used singed a big record label deal hahah. Glad you enjoyed it

[@tadlong922]

These are some of my favorite shots I've seen from anyone. You've really perfected color balancing and exposure to me man

[@aneesai241]

These kinds of videos by you make me SO inspired to take more photos, thank you

[@taranspictures]

Your photos just keep getting better and better with each video, they have such a nostalgic feel to them even though i have never been to america, its really strange but i love it!

[@1247marianna]

I couldn't close my jaw properly for the entire collection of photos in this video. So stunning and inspiring. Love the close up on the photos too, gives a very private examination vibe like what you'd do when looking at a classical painting.

[@omarsalah9747]

this has to be one of my favorites in this series. The images you captured are so stunning

[@SamuelPrice-oz3qt]

These are the videos I search Love them. Also love hearing you talk over them, and just your thought process when taking shots.

[@sean7446]

This video made me feel very calm. Stunning compositions and use of light!

[@Mabor]

These are the types of videos that always have me coming back to Willems channel ❤ I’m from Australia and the way the videos are made they’re so peaceful and calming they really shows off the beauty of the USA, would love to visit someday

[@Jay-lj8rd]

Man I love these kinds of videos from you. The ones travelling cross country with Allison, Joe, Roman etc, just the collection of you creating images where the video is more of an afterthought.

[@dingdingyep]

incredible photos, thank you for the countless amount of inspiration your videos give me :)

[@brntgudn]

Willem, living the dream! So many great scenes and images. THE LIGHT! Wonderful work. Never stop giving us these videos, they are so soothing to watch!

[@sungblee1]

last one had me falling out my chair

[@ramz6x7]

My Jaw was truly on the ground

[@juliopanaligan]

As someone who loves taking photos, you really inspire me Willem. I always look forward to your videos because it's not just about the photos, it's the story behind it and the time that you always share with the people around you. Hope to see more videos like this from you next year.

[@mayronsalomao9627]

There’s no one like you!!! ❤ the best images of all. The best!!

[@yakub3962]

You're incredibly talented. I don't even know what else to say. Please keep sharing your work, it's truly inspirational.

[@anahichoe8458]

Your videos breathe life into my creative soul. I feel so inspired like I am seeing the world the way you see it, and you have a special ability to find beauty in the most ordinary thing. I hope to be able to hone that skill as you have but in my own special way. I just want to tell you I appreciate you so much for taking the time and dedication to creating these wonderful works of art and allowing us into your thoughts to help us become better photographers and better people. You deserve all the love and so many good things!

[@DylanSpitz]

Beautiful photos as always, Willem! Way to go out on that moonlight image - just incredible.

[@LeeRatcliffe]

That reflected sun with the moon at 6:13!!! Jeeeeez. Awesome buddy!

[@zoecollins2944]

[@wv2050]

Moon over ocean shot is killer.

[@jkjackknowles]

These kind of videos from you are my favourite

[@reidhaithcock]

That football field shot is something else!

[@l.k.9459]

These are my favourite videos on KZbin. This is so much more valuable than any gear talk. These are stunning visuals and I am grateful for you making these.

[@max-mkl]

Beautiful and the Ac pit got me rolling thank you Willem

[@victorcapacetejr955]

These vidz are so peaceful and such a work of art! Enjoyed the shots!

[@baharam98]

Stunningly beautiful images.

[@averytheamazingone]

I really love watching these styles of videos. Its really insiring seeing how other people frame/setup their shots. Itll always add 100% more depth to the photos to me lol

[@mjozefowski]

One of most relaxing movies on Your channel Willem, mega!

[@ronilyn7148]

These are my favorite type of videos to watch!

[@kailebcarrphoto_]

Everything about this video is beautiful. The photos. Everything.

[@StoneyChromatic]

Absolutely beautiful shots!!!!!

[@-ryn-]

This was peaceful to watch

[@dfung3644]

I've been using my old Panasonic LX3. Loving the imperfections.

[@muj3]

such lovely pics, especially the last one

[@mykhailostefaniuk]

My favorite type of video) Regularly rewatching your road trip with Roman and Joe!

[@peterlannon]

Beautiful work !!

[@AllenZaki]

Watching this video is like photo ASMR, beautiful captures of NorCal while watching you create them. 🤌🏽

[@maasdekkers2219]

So many great picturest this video, love the roadtrips

[@vivekchavanmusic]

Wlllem, this is your best work yet. Your compositions gave every frame a life of its own. Absolutely brilliant!

[@theatyhannington]

These videos may not get searched, may not get views, but they got my subscription and they keep me here. I don't care much for another review of that camera everybody has reviewed already--that often results in echo chambers. I can't relate to gear channels that review a new camera every week, every month. I'm not spending thousands on photography yearly. I've got a couple of cameras I enjoy using, that I think are cool so they make me want to take photos, and they're capable. It's about taking photographs and getting better. I like watching skilled photographers photograph and talk about photography. Composition, story telling, and the ideas behind images; mixed with the story and hardships and failures and successes of trying to take images. That's what I can and do relate to. Thanks for continuing to make videos like this.

[@ilovecabbagges]

that last shot is insane

[@jhingsto]

amazing video and photos. as a fellow transplant in california, i share your love of these no-name coastal california towns. morro bay in particular is a place i didn't know existed, but i now make excuses to bring myself back. there is something so whimsical about these towns, so perfectly californian.

[@nevvynnevvyn]

Amazing. Ambiance and beauty. I really love that shot of the lit first floor window on the corner.

[@maxglaze1196]

I enjoy these chill videos.

[@worfbe]

Great stuff Willem ! These roadtrip videos are so great to watch. Feels like being there...✌

[@alexanderdobroruka8534]

Watching from Mtl Canada and loving the low-key west coast road trip beach vibes. Can't wait for more.

[@heuratmaja8412]

Your video is like a healing time for me

[@sammypierrecollections]

idk even know what to say..these kinds of videos and the ones where you organize old photos into a story are by far my favorite. watching you create images is so inspiring and seeing them evicts emotions out of me fr ! luv the work keep it up ! p.s. love that in this video alone i saw two NEW angles of the bridge I've nvr seen before

[@floziofer95]

No matter how stressful your Day Was, Willem's Videos will calm you down. Thank your for doing this!

[@alphanuevo]

Great video! It's 22 degrees (F) in Seattle so nice to see folks out in shorts somewhere in the world. lol

[@WillemVerb]

Should have mentioned this was in September, takes me forever to go through all the photos and edit the footage haha.

[@cbsjxjdbcu500]

Absolutely love your vibe

[@sk8rn8thegr8]

my all time favorite images from you. these could be a book on their own. wow

[@RiceMane]

When grainydays and willem drop a video the same day 😩🤌🏼

[@davidjmancera]

As someone who lives on the coast I highly recommend Carmel by the sea, Monterey, Santa Cruz as places you can get amazing photos.

[@GIRLBOSS-1111]

Yes!!! Briefly stopped by Carmel by the sea a few months ago it’s so gorgeous
