Silent black-and-white film photography

[@mixschrecks3839]

No annoying music. Stunning photos. ❤❤❤

[@theluckystreet]

for real

[@MrFreakwent]

Hey, she has some good playlists !

[@GhostlyFilm]

Exactly the sort of comment I’d expect from nosfaratu.

[@eyesonly4451]

I've been watching KZbin vids since 2010, and *_gaincheck_* is the first (and still only) KZbin channel to which I've ever subscribed. Yes, I watch photo vids for the photography, not their music preference. I'd rather have the photographer's personal narration and/or live audio than superimposed music that I don't like and that distracts from the photographic content.

[@pablodelmares2207]

One of the most soothing and calm experiences I’ve had watching KZbin. Would follow a series of this. Love it.

[@HudBud4444]

I really appreciate you not giving a typical narration over the video. The video itself explains what is happening. It does make me appreciate the moments you had with random people on your trip a bit more! You definitely made me think about getting a 645 lol. The soft fall off of the focus in some of the shots is soul satisfying!

[@nakedzaiah615]

From 0:00-13:11 PURE CINEMA 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@l.k.9459]

I love this "silent" concept! Please more of this!

[@_noahrh]

Lol why did a tiny tear come to my eye at the lady asking to take your picture? So sweet - I love people that have such an enthusiasm for life! Everyone you crossed paths with was very friendly. This was a joy to watch! I went to the Valley of Fire park near Las Vegas last year - what a gorgeous area!

[@Its.justChad]

Not your typical talk in the camera kind of video. I like how quiet and beautiful this video is. I love the pictures you take in the mountains. Great job. 😊

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

Omg I loved this on so many levels. First the silent narrative is superb. And then those people you met! The woman whose book you'll be in! Moments of connection like that which photography provides is everything

[@Brrrow]

As sort of a beginner in photography, I highly appreciate videos like this. More than anything I enjoy seeing people show off work that they feel good about. Helps calibrate what I enjoy in my own photography. Thank you for putting this content together!

[@KevinBurton]

There's something very Kubrick'ish about this. Long, wide shots. Love it. So well done. 👍🏼

[@lensman5762]

Well done lady. Loved it. Amazing nature, good photography and a video record about photographs. Not stupid gear talk, no sermons, no frivolous music, just the sweet sound of the shutter of a Pentax 645film camera. Marvellous. Respect from an Iranian in the UK. Live long and prosper.

[@jasonblake5576]

Refreshing! Beautiful work.

[@theandrewteoh]

Video might look simple but there’s definitely a huge amount of effort put into this. Thank you for sharing such an amazing piece of art.

[@crainseye8499]

Heart wrenchingly gorgeous…really goes to show how little good photography needs the added elements of voice overs and music

[@trippwilsonphoto]

shoot.. i can't stop coming back to this. i've made about 10 unreleased videos about my photography and i hate all of them. but this is making me realize, i can make every video it's own short film if i put in the effort. and that's what i've been wanting to do. thank you for inspiring me, and showing me how i can make my videos accessible while making what i want to make.

[@jonmon6691]

Excited for a video on b&w contrast filters! They're a lot of fun to experiment with and add a whole other dimension to shooting b&w!

[@URBONED]

Love love love this. Really respect the fact you not only take incredible photos but that you also take the time to get a great angle with the video too. Love those telephoto angles, really adds such immense scale to these locations.

[@bertosfilmbag]

This is up there as one of my favorite videos I’ve ever watched. Relaxing and perfect to put on on a cozy Sunday.

[@graincheck]

I posted on Saturday just for this reason 😭😭😭😭

[@jennaclarek]

god i am obsessed with this you're the only person i keep up with youtube for anymore!

[@K1n1c]

Interaction with the person writing the book was so wholesome

[@skyepie5250]

I sincerely hope you have started a trend. This format is so pure. Photos are awesome!

[@oudviola]

Very nice work. If you're doing lots of b&w lanscapes, I highly recommend a yellow filter. They're generally inexpensive and well worth it to help get more dynamic skies with mixed clouds. Cheers!

[@oldmanmikey]

Love this! Such an inspiration!

[@gemtheog3977]

Every single photo in this video was gorgeous.. wow.

[@john_murch]

Love the B&W shots and the sound of the wind! Very enjoyable watch TY!

[@itskylehale]

The catharsis that is the great west and black and white photography.

[@pdcorlis]

Cool concept for this little film - that Pentax shutter makes a great sound 👍🏻

[@graincheck]

RIGHT! Delicious 🤤

[@SIRafiq]

It is a combo of shutter release and film advance!

[@DLivingston]

the pentax 645 is sooooo good for what it is. Such an easy camera to use for a first time medium format shooter. Great shots as well!

[@realniteart]

What a great place to photograph. I went there once after spending a week on vacation in New Hampshire. The difference between endless green forests and desert was mind-blowing and unsettling at first. I had a lot of fun, was running around like a kid in a candy store, and took pictures of everything in all directions. Great video! You should consider doing a video in B&W too.

[@pushingfilm]

Great video to enjoy the morning coffee to 🙂Crossing to the middle of the road at 1:45 paid off!

[@StepsAndStoness]

I love Red Rock Canyon so much! Insane to see it covered in this much snow

[@robertberryman1441]

Probably my favorite KZbin video to date! So very soothing!!

[@NoskosBBQ]

Oh wow, Taylor, love those photo’s!! You are so talented.

[@faded_memory]

This is my favorite video you’ve made. Love the “silence” and lack of narration/talking to camera. Gorgeous.

[@GrenvilleMelonseedSkiff496]

Magic … we’ll done! Would love to see another silent B&W video. You nailed the edit blending live action colour video with those fabulous monochrome images. I particularly liked the amount of time you gave us with each photo. Most videos like this try to cram too many snaps into too little time with hardly enough time to appreciate the art. A delight to watch from start to finish … thanks!

[@graincheck]

🥹😭❤️‍🔥

[@AaVeck]

The Dirty Harry quickdraw 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 12:36 - your content and photos never cease to amaze me. Excellent videography skills, I feel like I’m there.

[@ArchiesLens]

This is very satisfying and calming. And the shots you got are just *chefs kiss* 🌸✨

[@AdamAhmedPihlgren]

Love how you're always trying new things in your videos

[@alexanderstertz4378]

Actually my life is so loud. I really love the silence in this video!

[@Bussmicke2305]

I love that sound from the camera

[@Bussmicke2305]

You are a wonderful photographer

[@ripemangosmdm7997]

Great video. Liked the simplicity of sound and soundlessness. Love black and white, what a treat!

[@alitwell]

my lawd Taylor you have done it again!!!!! just so lovely!

[@marcellocolona4980]

Gott sei Dank keine lästige Musik! Wunderschöne Fotografien im berühmten Red Rock Canyon.

[@scotey]

Going with only ambient and motivated sound was a brilliant choice. Wonderful short film, and beautiful photos.

[@jean-lucbarmaverain8519]

Great work ! No absurd music in the background... just a beautiful Silence that inspires you and us, the material of the film impressed by the light and breathtaking landscapes !!! I like your black and white ! Thank you for sharing your journey and visual experience! Keep it up ! Warm greetings from Switzerland !

[@holasoyjuansm]

Amazing. My favorite video of the last couple of weeks. Loved the silence, the quality, the cinematography and the photographs

[@BenOutside]

Outstanding photographs of a beautiful landscape, loved it, well done!

[@markgoostree6334]

Cruzin' 'n shootin'. That is how you do it. A nice, laid back, video of you ... picking a spot and showing us what caught your eye. nice.

[@aimanleondore]

color grading is so picturesque, lovee

[@PJM-Media]

what a beautiful, calm and peaceful experiences this video is. And the pictures are fantastic too! Thank you for this!

[@conradjavier5180]

I love this style of video so much! Everything looks and sounds great!

[@greetingsfromcarra]

Dang, the lady taking a video and photo of you when y'all met, made me emotional for some beautiful reason.

[@deadpool6072]

Top notch production quality! Amazing photos too!

[@lesterphil9584]

Do more of these silent videos. It's so good. Love this.

[@baharam98]

WOW! The B&W pictures are just amazing. Love the sweet couple you met on the way too. Learned some great composition tricks from you in this video. Thanks!

[@HighlandRoad87]

This is the best photography vlog I've seen in ages. I first watched this about a week ago. Every vlog I've watched since, as soon as the annoying vlog background music starts while the photographer is shooting on scene, I have to turn the volume down. Please keep doing these "silent" vlogs. But not too silent. The commentary is most welcome. Your photos and aesthetic are wonderful!

[@kylewood8327]

Gotta love that shutter click!

[@lawrencemceachinjr.5392]

One of the best videos I’ve seen in a while. 🎉

[@ViktorVaughan]

Love hearing the sounds of nature, the background noise and the camea. Far better than annoying intro music and endless talking! Also 5:42 is a stunning shot!

[@ryanbhangdia]

this was really nice to watch - so relaxing haha. the photos are also really good - I love the black and white for rocky landscapes and it looked like you had some incredible light too.

[@michaelharmon721]

Nice shots well done and loved just the natural sounds no boring music noise.

[@DekiaryCarter]

Such a chill video! Thank you for all of the hard work that went into this project.

[@blissvallabhassery1098]

Most content these days is focused on shooting up the dopamine levels of viewers and trying to milk the most out of the limited attention span which most people have. And then there’s your content, which is not another imitation of a familiar template, or one which uses one of those lofi copyright free music in order to look ‘unique’. Your videos are truly a work of art, it is truly yours and only you can make this type of content. I am grateful to you for being a content creator who still makes raw, unfiltered, unapologetically unique videos!

[@sinosipochi]

This video got me so inspired! Thank you for this Taylor! 🙌🏼

[@ebreevephoto]

Thank you for the calm!

[@andrew_nepsund]

Well this is the best photo video I’ve seen. So rad. Thanks for putting out really sick work @graincheck!

[@georgemichaelofficial]

Love that red rock loop ☺

[@Ravik122]

Love this format. Thanks, was a pleasure to watch.

[@arnabpramanik8937]

Love your photography..... I'm a big fan of your photography ❤️

[@LUCASDOMINGUES21]

The quality of this vlogs is so stunning that i feel like i'm watching a movie, so gooooood Amazing professionalism Love tou Taylor 😎💛

[@RobsSZA]

This is so f relaxing, I LOVE IT, thanks for your content Taylor. I'm glad of discovering your talent.

[@shubhammankar1928]

This is such a great video! Absolutely amazing

[@rugososphotos3646]

actually love this, so meditative

[@gallerybygeve3217]

this was transcendental

[@HermSchreurs]

I love this video 😊 just the stunning scenery from the perspective of the observing photographer and that shutter… great images as well 👌🏼🎞️📷

[@fuji_film_digital2122]

WOW! What a video. These pictures are stunning. Such an inspiration to get out and shoot. Thank you so much!

[@pablotenkara3057]

That was a really pleasant and silent time away from the usual. First time here and I want to stay longer.

[@cg4703]

Thank you for this video. I had goosebumps from these views and tranquility. We need more videos like this one. It's so wonderful to walk with you and your camera. It's literally helps me to survive in my tough reality. Please, keep going. I'm sending you love!

[@ChrisGower]

This was fantastic to watch. Meditative almost

[@Byrolandito]

great video and great photos, i loved the video with natural sounds and no music, compliments to the whole edition and beautiful photos

[@juliantej]

Yet again, another well put together video done by you

[@ingerlouise]

loved this video! please make more of them ♥️ also those shots of the winding road are gorgeous!

[@tilerman]

Watching this has made me realise something. I live in London and i haven't left the city for i don't know how long. Years. I live here, I work here, I shop here, I wished i could say I play here but don't get out much. And i haven't been to a wide open space for years and watching this video I realise i'm missing out. It look amazing where you are, stunning. I look out my window and all i see is concrete towers. Fantastic video, loved every second. Subscribed and liked.

[@joann5915]

Wow. Wow. Wow. This is amazing. Love how minimalistic it is. Has definitely got my creative juices flowing ❤ thank you for this video

[@nandhathiyagarajan6129]

It's so strange the video goes by without a word being uttered, but I am picking up so many composition techniques just watching you make these amazing images! Binge watching all the silent photography videos on your channel now :)

[@qnetx]

Ahhhhh, an ASMR photography video. Nice.

[@fauxdauteur]

Found your channel through Colin and Samir's Publish Press newsletter. I love your aesthetic and the peaceful vibe.

[@lezapzap311]

Love this, so enjoyable to watch!

[@boblidu]

What a satisfying video🤍

[@joe_a_photo]

These were really beautiful. Thanks for sharing

[@cobalus.mp3]

What a trippy video. It has a feeling of an actual movie, can't believe this gem is in KZbin. The vibe reminded me of "Gerry" by Gus Van Sant. 🖤

[@patrickrostker6693]

So cool! Red Rock is so much fun, quiet too. Great compositions. Great idea to meter externally. Those road shots killed it, your risk was rewarded, well done, enjoy the b&w project, very inspiring!

[@trels203]

Awesome video and really great shots! Red Rock is a beautiful place to visit and shoot.

[@michaelsherck5099]

I have an admission to make. The Mamiya 645J I used many years ago is possibly the camera I have most enjoyed using. I still print negatives from those days. I adore the more rectangular aspect ratio of 6x4.5, 35mm and 5x7. Thanks for the great video!

[@MsTtttracy]

This was really nice to watch. I really enjoyed the absence of music. Also stunning photos. I think this is a video I will watch again. 💙❤

[@carlosalmeida5622]

Amazing video 📹 beautiful work 📸 always 👏🔝

[@TheHumesMusic]

Beautiful cinematography

[@emmangarcia1407]

Such a peaceful and beautiful video. Just started practicing shooting black and white photos this april and i'm struggling to look for inspo or compositions. But the challenge is so much fun and eye opening. I watched a couple of your videos for ideas and i really love your photos!!!

[@RichardPilon]

This was awesome. Gorgeous shots!

[@eduardvlogs]

Seriously I need those pictures on twitter, they are amazing 🤩🙆🏼‍♂️ you become one of my favorites photographers
