one of my fav videos so far ! the cinematography, the shots, THE COLORS ! truly a masterpiece ! let me go buy some flowers and a vase now

[@WillemVerb]

Much appreciated ❤️❤️

[@tongdevol]

Tahahahah same.

[@caoimhintube]

Cinematography is perfect really

[@je-ardyllparangue8454]

And the music

[@chrisbarrett7193]

There's rich, and then there's shooting 6 rolls around my house rich.

[@CarlosERamos-ey1lj]

It’s amazing how beautiful the stuff we see in a daily basis can be. Really cool way to change how you approach photography. Keep it up man

[@matthewcross2991]

the shots at 8:23 I feel are truely the magnum opus of this video. Masterful play of light, just gorgeous to look at, everything just where it should be in the most beautiful way

[@WillemVerb]

Thank you 🥺❤️

[@carraranick]

Such a good one. Not only the pictures but the edit, the music. So refreshing.

[@bay6389]

Amazing! The whole video is an absolute masterpiece, the lighting, music, you cinematography and of course the photos are incredable. Also how you talk about the photos with such a passion, It's so wonderful when people truly love what they do.

[@Diego_koolaid]

This video single-handedly brought back my love for film photography. I forgot what it felt like to “work with what you got” and fell off for almost a year. It’s time to pick up my camera again, loved the video !!

[@TheFireThief84]

Man, that LA light is so amazing.

[@jacobmaness7244]

That excitement is so important, and is a part of what makes photography so much fun. Great video Willem, this one had a very cozy, relaxed feeling. I really love the apple photo at 4:13 and the beautiful shadows in the photo at 9:46 .

[@davidashcroftxo]

I think it's really cool that you've started getting out of the "lo-fi hiphop beats to study to" kind of background music that ended up becoming the only soundtrack to film/street photography channels. I like that music, I just think it's also cool to try and do things differently, and I think it gives an extra happy vibe to the videos too :)

[@Darkraii.]

this is definitely my new favorite video on your channel. the cinematography and editing is so clean and the pictures came out amazing. such a therapeutic watch

[@thevillanonyan]

These photos are awe inspiring. I'm also impressed by how few piles of paper you have in your house, every artist ive known including myself, always has a mental amount of paper lying around, well done for keeping your house so tidy

[@kesoqvlividze7031]

Being home alone, taking pictures you have no great expectations of and then they come out so amazing.. it feels so refreshing that I could do it for the rest of my life

[@patrickhanrahan4240]

The cinematography in the intro is incredible

[@sabinemetz]

This made my heart happy. It definitely does remind me directly to when I started photographing with my first camera, over 15 years ago, taking self portraits and still life from stuff around my room.

[@lukechambers825]

Unmatched… you make the mundane magical. Love the light you get in your place, it’s gorgeous.

[@VanijaMi]

Mannn the colors in this video, the pictures...my goodness, just wow

[@simongamez]

I saved one of your videos on my "To Watch" list, years ago, and now I'm going through them, and your videos are so good and your pictures are absolutely beautiful. I think what I love the most about film photography is the nostalgia that I associate with it. The photo of your cats is my favorite. Nice job!

[@debershan]

felt like watching a movie, you are truly a gem willem

[@dekentj95]

There's some serious ASMR action happening in this video... so good

[@kstrohmeier]

Brilliant! I am retiring this year and I know what my "First Monday" project is going to be.

[@steqhanos826]

this is incredible… the aesthetic is just on a whole different level from what u usually see, production on point.. pls make more of these!!!! 🙏

[@lilyburlough8990]

my goodness, the coloring, quality, and positioning of your video is so aesthetically pleasing. that’s a video camera i’d invest good money in

[@HannahGimblett]

Hello Willem, I especially enjoyed watching this video, with being completely bed-bound for the past three years due to various chronic conditions, I have a great deal of restrictions placed upon my photography. It's tough, but I hold onto my creativity with all of my heart. I'm currently capturing a new botanical series for an upcoming exhibition, with a bedside setup, it's a true joy to have photography as my solace. Thank you for a great video, Willem.

[@caypasha]

honestly I'd love to see your lighting setup for the filming of this video. I love the cinematography

[@joelhypponen]

Oh boy this video was wholesome, and your celery juice really does look delicious. More of these challenges Willem!

[@mikejankowski6321]

Amazing. Such ordinary, commonplace, everyday things. Mundane, even. Carefully arranged and composed while bathed in luxurious window light. Things that would never inspire a second thought, but when approached with a first thought yield such artistic images. Mostly simple, but sometimes complex, some with many colors and others with few. Always interplay of light and shadow. Time frozen and time passing. That was a wonderful video - it took me to a world of visions completely outside my realm (particularly celery juice!) and yet in many ways familiar (all that gorgeous steam). That was nonstop creativity. GREAT WORK!

[@RFranks]

Great images, the image of the shadow of the flower in the vase is really something! I've had a go at photographing stuff around my house before but it's really hard, I think familiarity makes it easy to miss things.

[@cmncln]

One of the best video you made on the channel - I’m in awe!

[@daniquevaneijk1863]

I think this might be one of my favorite videos of yours. It is so inspiring to see what you can do just from your own home. The photos turned out beautiful! You have a lovely home btw

[@akaneverest]

Gorgeous colors, Willem. Very motivating. Thank you!

the vibes this video gave me from start to finish, immaculate. awesome work!

[@whatsupeef]

the way you set up your shots is an art in itself

[@DrewWillson]

In my books- your videos are about what makes photography so amazing. Enjoying life as you see it and sharing with others ❤

[@WillemVerb]

Thank you so much drew

[@gianmarcomaioli]

Absolutely astonishing. You just shot a roll on a jar of juice… and it came out art. Well done mate. By far your most inspiring vid from the past few months! (Not a criticism!)

[@WillemVerb]

Means a lot! Thank you ❤️

[@EmilVargaPhotography]

That intro though! Love the images and a great idea to look at your close surroundings, I think most photographers have this issue of familiarity=boring.

[@cathydixon5852]

I am an old film guy. Spent 23 yrs in the film business and I love that you take a new take in the old stuff

[@josephsabio]

Dude. I challenged myself to do this recently and I’m so glad you made this. Honestly I think this video is my favorite you’ve made so far. It was simple, creative and brought tons of good vibes. Thanks Willem!

[@pixelmixture3067]

instant fav ... this is what photography is all about ... revealing the beauty

[@drizzydrew98]

Currently house ridden recovering from a minor surgery and watching this video from some “in the house” film inspo🙏🏽

[@stephendandrea5164]

These are stunning photos, Willem! Wow wow wow. So much emotion evoked by these sets.

[@cameronsmith1513]

man this might be a top 5 mr willem video! love it!!

[@taylorbernier7966]

I respect the effort that went into making this video.

[@WillemVerb]

Thank you!

[@LucaLazzari]

Wow, that was beautiful! The photos were amazing but the video blew me away, the color grading was so on point, everything looked really filmic and you nailed the film vibe, the highlights were just perfect. Also props to you for finding an apartment that looks like a set, the light you have there is incredible

[@kmreddy-du2lb]

Amazing Video, & what I learned from this video is that "Sometimes personal satisfaction is more important than professional obligations".

[@pierrezapata90]

Your photos are wonderful as always but I've noticed a significant attention to your cinematography that is beautiful as well! Props!

[@aya_____7921]

Not just the photos, but every moment of this video was stunning. I'll be rewatching this...

[@FilmCameraObsession]

The two flowers in the jar. Loved it.

[@SprokkereefNederlands]

Really some stunning shots in This one!

[@Peacedagfrog]

bro you literally teaching/inspiring me day by day , crafting my ideas 💡 thank you!

[@mattbray_studio]

The shots are so good. They could legit be a zine ‘an afternoon inside’

[@sherrig.7870]

Incredible!! Every single shot! Thanks for the inspo. 👏🏼☀🌾

[@Alicia-fy3je]

Incredibly glad I stumbled onto your channel. I'm a digital photographer seriously looking into film photography and you popped up. I have been binging your videos ever since. Your style, the way you visually story tell is abolutely a vibe. Thanks for sharing your gifts.

[@swiss_lomography8929]

The intro could be a movie i would not be shocked. This is a masterpiece vidéo. Thank you

[@jordiolsson]

Such a great video! Amazing what you can photograph in a space that you live in everyday!

[@efhcka]

The opening scene was poetic cinema. Watching this from Norway made me realise how deprived I am of sunlight in my apartment (and in general). Impeccable light and colours in your shots!

[@Christopher_Ray]

I’m in love with the vibe of this entire video. Killed it on this one, dude.

[@andreapoveda9871]

this has to be my new favorite video of yours Willem :) every detail is amazing, the music, the shots, the photos, everything. keep it up!

[@thebigcj]

What an excellent challenge! Going to try this out myself 📷 love the shot of the apples in particular 🍎

[@ayamgeprek5608]

I really love how the way you saw everything around you as an beautiful objects, it really amaze all the time when I saw the final results. I always looking forward on your pictures and projects!

[@gotwti]

I like everything in this video, every moment. Thank you for such a simple filled beauty. Don't stop filming, please. Love from Russia 🌞💌

[@reyjournals7109]

these turned out so beautiful! Love the light in your house♡

[@diegoebustamante]

Glad to see my mans uses a Fellow Stagg and V60 Pour over

[@antonia_ahrens]

especially loved the coffee shots, but you just really made the most out of everything.

[@hazanaharis1885]

Watching this while staying in really dialed up the coziness feeling ❤

[@extraiceplease2093]

This was really refreshing to see, loved the photos and your commentary !

[@vickyroy4796]

One word for the shots is "GORGEOUS" and for the vid as always chill as summer thanks man🤗👍

[@patriciasustersic7265]

The filmography!! It’s breathtaking!

[@132indo]

after watching this channel several videos, the music selection is top notch. I can't stop watching

[@likeanelephant9314]

I’m doing the same, before dripping coffee, make the paper wet first! Love this video and photo, so beautiful and the prints are gorgeous 😊！

[@johannbo]

Dude, the cinematography is insane. Can you please talk more about how you achieve this aesthetic? Just some insights would be amazing. Love from Germany

[@QuantayPeoples]

Your eyes are enlightened. God has blessed you with pure talent.

[@Speanz]

Автопортреты это отдельная любовь❤‍🔥

[@rohanjhnsn]

this is by far my favourite willem video. the self portrait bit was so fun.

[@dothaigiathuy]

such a lovely little simple video. the way this was edited and the music that you chose playing in the background everything was so elegantly done. I absolutely adore this, what a joy to watch 💗

[@lismarg99]

i watch your videos after i get off work. they relax me, disconnect me, and this one in particular hit home (pun intended). you're amazing, please never stop doing what you love

[@LogiicLucky]

This is an absolute masterpiece! WOW!!! ✨

[@sherv.h]

As someone who lives in Vancouver and experiences cloudy days almost six months out of the year, I am jealous of the light you guys have in California. Wait, is this why everyone moves to California?

[@Daveforaday]

Don’t comment ever, but yes some of your best work. Shoot what you know, shoot what you love, you have a connect to it.

[@branthsu9836]

the contrast between the light and dark was so dreaming

[@berkanbekir]

love this video! also appreciating all the effort you put into your videos, so cinematic and mesmerizing!

[@cmdcrey]

few seconds into the video, and I already subscribed. the whole vibes is amazing, just wow

[@tataferarom]

every shot you took is a masterpiece! I am about to use my film camera again after not using it since the film price is more expensive these days. Thank you!

[@nightsbeatswitchgood]

the photos of the celary juice are my favorites. so beautiful. wow, Willem!!! I need to try this.

[@samuramdp]

Mori, ame demasiado, hace tiempo no disfrutaba tanto un viejo tuyo, gracias

[@kistnaconely3301]

This is so calming and cozy

[@masklayer_garbage]

This is nice… I’ve been finding myself not having the time and energy to get out and go to cool places for photos recently and just taking random pictures around the house and deleting them - so this video makes me think about trying to be more intentional with that and take some I don’t *want* to delete.

[@joelnicholas4794]

love seeing you have fun with the shot set up 👌🏼

[@michaeljjon]

love the photos of the flower int he jar.

[@eatthetoast]

Absolutely bomb video! That was excellent! I do this from time to time, I photograph the same things but always find that different days throw off different light. I love it!

[@tatted411]

Just now seeing this and I’m inspired to do the same. Had this idea back when Covid first started, but didn’t follow through. Now, I’m definitely going to do it! Thanks for this 🙏

[@michaelhall3718]

You get such awesome light in your apartment! I love your windows and your plants, and they came out so well in golden hour.

[@misterpizaloner]

So inspirational. love the work, its a master class in disguise.

[@samira8644]

You’re so lucky with that beautiful sun shining in your house 😍 amazing results!

[@Cunboss]

Beautiful video. I caught some feelings mid-way. Very poetic !

[@franzbato]

The colours man, you’ve nailed this one!

[@teocrawford]

Your apartment looks sooo comfy in that light with all those plants🥺 loved the photos! I actually really want to shoot this style of photography at home, but the orientation of my apartment gives me barely any sunlight sadly... but I'm moving this year, so hopefully I'll be able to find something sunnier :D

[@jaydonwell4244]

A simple idea at the base but transformed into a work of art of light and shadows ❤️👌

[@WillemVerb]

Thank you!

[@pabloheimplatz]

Also one of my favourite videos! Love the colours and the simplicity in it. And it’s something total different. Love it!

[@mcb187]

Wow, so cool! I really like all of those shots. I also really like all the plants you have! I think I saw an orchid in the beginning. If you ever do something like this again, you should get a shot of the flowers on that. They are so pretty and big, too!
