Film Photography at Home - Still Life and Self Portraits on FujiPro 400H

In this video I'm showing you a day of film photography at home. I was feeling uninspired to shoot in the gray outside and so I decided to push myself to come up with some ideas for photography in my apartment - enjoy :)

[@thevillanonyan]

I find it fasinating to watch other photographers set up their photos, its comforting to see people pace around and just look at objects intensely or make an akward giggle after taking a self-portrait, its good to know that is a universal experience.

[@jasonzayas5487]

Couldn't agree more. Also wondering... does anyone hold their breath right before they release the shutter and breath out once it's released?

[@teocrawford]

hahah I love your description, it's so accurate. I'm happy you relate to it :)

[@teocrawford]

Ohhhh yes, I do that sometimes hahaha

[@deromil4298]

I can’t really express it, but your videos are something else

[@aliyanareswari2038]

Agree!

[@teocrawford]

Aww thank you so much!

[@NikCification]

This video is truly inspirational. I appreciate it so much when you give little hints and tips, such as how to use Pinterest, or what your camera settings are for a shot (this is huge!), or why you are composing an image a certain way. I honestly think you are my favourite Photographer. Thanks Teo.

[@bdeno9777]

Teo This time of the year in the United States can also be very dreary. Your video has inspired me to to be creative on these days when I’m experiencing cabin fever. Thank you and well done.

[@aviandekeizer9208]

This feels like such and intimate video, I really appreciate you taking us with you on this indoor journey and talking about your process and settings. I am also a film photographer who doesnt really do still life but this makes me want to give it a try and gives me a starting point!

[@nizarsoffil]

im lost of word. relly love the lamp and chair photos💚

[@teocrawford]

Aww thank you! I see - I love how diverse the choices of favourites are that I'm reading in the comments here :D

[@simonbolzdotcom]

I love your professionalism. You put so much in your work, amazing!

[@godlikee187]

9:25 man oh man is this my favourite shot, i just love the baby blue from the pillow and how well it fits with the cigarette box + the flowers

[@teocrawford]

ahhh love that, thank you! :)

[@Vitor_Zago]

This really inspire me to try new approaches, amazing photos!!

Thank you for showing all stages of your creative process, including disappointment and dissatisfaction with some of your photographs that you yet so carefully planned and prepared. The balance and calmth you reflect with on these shots is very inspiring to me, a chronic perfectionist photographer who tends to give a hard time to myself with every shot that comes out wrong. In the current age of social media setting the perfection standard, your videos help recover the more healthy idea that by making mistakes, we grow, and that they also contribute to our creative process, not hinder it. Thank you for this! :)

[@fajraj]

These are super amazing, i hope we get more of these ideas, they’re very inspiring i can’t wait to try them out .. thanks a lot 👍🏼

[@jessicawynnco]

These are incredible! Love how dreamy everything you shoot feels

[@charlottem9272]

Teo this is a fantastic video! I really appreciate the depth of explanation that you give, from lighting essentials to your own personal take on aesthetic aspects of each shot. This was equally informative as it was creatively engaging. I loved the shot of the film in the fridge -- combined with the bathtub shots, makes for some very interesting character development !!! Love your work as always, thank you !!!!!

[@janmalterohm4047]

Favorite video of yours so far! Great seeing you working out the concepts of each picture and some grea results! Also always appreciate your honesty about which frames worked out and which didn't in your opinion:)

[@gammellennart]

Love them shots man! Great work and very inspiring :)

[@yiyun911]

this is so inspiring 🫶🏻 I really injoy watching the process !

[@bruce-le-smith]

another great video, thank you. love your style. i actually just ordered a k1000 from my local camera store, it was the camera i learned to shoot on once upon a time

[@sebastianbernestra9979]

I always love your videos Teo! I look forward to every sunday. Your explanations and thought process helps me a lot and the self-reflection of each photo is amazing. Your videos inspire me. Where I live in Sweden we have had maybe 7-8 sunny days since christmas eve. It's really depressing and uninspiring. Thank you for bringing some joy to photography!

[@teocrawford]

Ohh that sounds pretty dreadful yes - I hope the sun comes out again soon! I'm happy to hear this could inspire you, thank you! :))

[@wearetrackclub]

Shots came out great, also love how you filmed this!

[@ReimannPembroke]

Dude this was such a good shoot! I love the use of the flowers and the film boxes. I think the one with the cigarette and the film boxes in the tub is like film's funeral due to the incoming Kodak price increase lol! Also, you have some wonderful tile at your disposal for indoor photoshoots!

[@lemn_emiee]

These turned out so good, I love the Tumblr/Vsco aesthetic! My favorite was definitely the fridge film one, the colors turned out so nice and I love the moment of surprise you'd get from seeing something unexpected. I also just wanted to say I just found your channel and as a beginner in film photography I'm loving your videos, it's really nice watching a seasoned photographer explain the process.

[@teocrawford]

Ahhh thank you, I love the diversity in favourites I'm seeing in the comments here :D Ohh that's so cool, I'm happy these videos can help out in that way - thank you for the kind comment!

[@thissidetowardscreen4553]

Excellent vidoe! Really enjoyed seeing the thought process that goes into these photos. Teo your channel is always great and inspirational!

[@teocrawford]

Aww so happy to hear that, thank you so much! :)

[@sonyviva308]

This is a very calming video of promoting Phillip Morris cigarettes. Nice one Teo :D

[@Nysek]

Wow, I just discovered your channel and I binged watched pretty much every video haha Your channel has became one of my favorites on KZbin, I love the aesthetic and chill vibe that your videos have :) I'm starting to really get into cinematography and color grading right now, and your style is exactly what I want to achieve ! Did you changed your color grading process since your tutorial video 2 years ago ? If yes, I would love to learn about your new process ! Keep up the good work :)

[@ArchiesLens]

I LOVE pinterest for inspiratiion as well. I also dig your approach to "scouting for a location" in your own home haha. Such a fun video Photo 9 was my personal fav. 📸🌸✨

[@teocrawford]

Ahhh yeah Pinterest is so fun :D Haha it was a strange thing to do at first but I think it's such a good exercise to find more appreciation for small things in one's home :) Thank you! :))

[@KillerTacos54]

Great video Teo! I’ve been thoroughly enjoying these

[@teocrawford]

Ahh wonderful, thank you!

[@jaelldiaz0608]

Your voice is sooooo soothing !!

[@denson28y]

Teo! Great work brother! Loving the creativity of your shots. All of the bathroom shots were nicely captured by the look and feel. Peace, Love, and Happiness!!! 🙃

[@teocrawford]

Ahhh thank you for the kind comment, so happy you enjoyed it!☺️🙏🏼

[@nataliabednarek1139]

So creative and inspiring ❤ I love this photo of flowers in your hand on the bed!

[@teocrawford]

Ahh cool, happy to hear that - thank you! :)

[@eingilddeclaro6171]

All the images are keepers!

[@anna79401]

Your videos inspire me ❤

[@ShaquilOatmeal]

this was very inspiring to watch. I love your approach to finding creative things to shoot. Ive been tinkering with the idea of shooting inside my house too. Just waiting for good lighting, as its been overcast for going on 2 weeks. Look forward to seeing more of what grows out of your inspiration

[@teocrawford]

Ahh happy to hear that! Yeah try it, I think Pinterest really helped me out here by showing me how much is possible in certain conditions :)

[@ktx333]

I love the last shot with the cigarette and the tub 🖤

[@cinema_condor]

Nice video Teo. I really love the photos. Keep on mate! :)

[@teocrawford]

Aww thanks, glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@robbykidman]

Very inspiring. Im glad u also showed the shots that weren't perfect for u

[@markusrooveer2523]

I have always enjoyed your videos and the calmness of them, so thank you for making them and showing your perspective of the world through the camera and adding to it with your comments. The flowers in the cigarettes box was such a interesting idea that I had to write it down and maybe use it as a prop in a short film later on. I really loved the first shot, half burnt but the composition and the flowers as a foreground looked really pleasing. Shot Nr.5 is so pleasant, as you said the complimentary colors and the white box with the white chair makes for really balance shot in my opinion. Shot Nr.6 looks really candid photo, like something that is unplanned. Gives a really cool feel to it. Shot Nr.8 I thought maybe some fill light from the left would have made it better, less contrast on the image but would have bought up the flowers a bit more and maybe moved the flowers a bit more to the right so moon is more clearer. That's just my opinion. Really love the 9th picture composition and the orange light creeping over the blanket to your hand. Nr. 10 looks really nice only thing that maybe I feel would have made it better would be to change the skirt for the lamp or diff the sides of the skirt so it wouldn't be so bright on the edges but would still give as much light to the chair and flowers underneath the lamp. I feel that the lamp's skirt is just a bit to bright and draws attention from the subject. Bathroom shot with the cigarette with the wide aspect ratio complimented it better. Would see it as a shot in a movie :D But these are just my opinions and I really enjoyed watching the shoot unfold. Every comment or a bit of change you made with the shot I felt like yea that's good, smiled and pointed to you through the screen like yea man that's The Shot! You got me really into the hole process and really cool angles on the video as well! Be well and have a great day man!😄

[@killinvoid]

Selfie and bed shot were my favs!!!❤

[@teocrawford]

Aiii thanksi

[@Grandmastergreyy]

I really enjoyed watching you come up with compositions and how you do your mood boards. Gave me some ideas & makes me stretch my creativity. also dope photos. #k1000gang

[@Grandmastergreyy]

the fridge photo is my favorite!

[@teocrawford]

Ahaaay k1000 letsgoo🙌🏼 So happy to hear that, thank you!☺️🙏🏼

[@nikonopp]

Inspirierendes Video! Nice wie immer! ^^

[@teocrawford]

Dankeschön

[@hmuz8388]

about pic 5, other than what you mentioned, what I love most about is how one flower is higher than the others, like when you wanna pull a cigarette out to smoke. I dono, I like it haha

[@teocrawford]

Ahhh true! I think that is something I subconsciously also liked about it, but hadn't noticed it enough to put it into words - so thanks for pointing that out! :)

[@Lillyjoy]

I use Pinterest as well! I also like to look at art on there and get inspiration for photography

[@rorycowieson5924]

Great video. I really want you to try the bath shot again but have the washing machine in frame.

[@teocrawford]

Ahhh actually yes, that sounds great!

[@lou.4554]

What a fun video! Creating a modelling agency at home for objects ...

[@teocrawford]

hahah love that idea! Glad to hear you had fun :D

[@evnikachertovskoy9525]

I love the shot where the film is in the fridge!! 🔥 Also where did you get your tripod from? I’m looking for one and I really like yours

you really need to make a book of your photos and tricks xD

he is like the normal version of daniel from hiding in my room lmfao

[@tomaszbejnarowicz]

could you share your audio treatment? the audio from this cheap mic its just amazing here

[@nikonopp]

Ich find Foto Nr 7 eigentlich mega nice weil es wirkt ein bisschen Wimmelbild-like und da is dann diese eine Filmbox mit den Zigaretten drin, die man "finden" muss ... in wahrheit springt sie eh direkt ins auge und löst fragen aus wie: warum eine Filmbox?, Warum sind nur dort Zigaretten sichtbar? usw ... sehr nice yap

[@teocrawford]

Ahhh stimmt, interessante Perspektive - gefällt mir! Danke dir! :)

[@vsred]

still in the middle of watching this video but just have to say, i started watching your videos two months ago.. aaand now i own a gx85. what is going on :o

[@teocrawford]

Hahaa let's gooo, I hope you have fun with it! :)

[@acmdv]

21:12 with the cigarette packs in the bath - maybe you could try putting black in the bath to cover the white, then fill it with water & float the packs so it looks like they are floating in a black tar or oil?

[@teocrawford]

ohhh wow that sounds... dark, can't describe it differently haha, but surely sounds dark :D

[@acmdv]

@@teocrawford I thought it would be a good way to comment on the harsh reality of what's in cigarettes.

[@AardvarkAdventure]

That's definitely a cool idea. I was thinking that if the flowers weren't there, it would kind of look like someone smoking one last cigarette before filling the tub to destroy them. Actually, even with the flowers, it looks like some homemade Viking funeral for a bunch of cigarettes.

[@HavenlyKlozed]

4:45 very funny reaction 😅 Quite far from the usual tone Joke aside, great shots !

[@nuzaarfatima1326]

me thinking of buying a film camera: hmm I really wanna try it but I barely leave my house so how am I even gonna get good pics even if I use it in home :// Teo: *hands over this video like Hulk giving Scott some tacos*

[@teocrawford]

YES! Explore your creativity at home - I know it's a bit challenging, but like I did, Pinterest is a great helper to source some ideas :D
