india on film

Back in February 2019 I went to India with a few close friends to meet up with our good friends at Kamalan to cover The Kumbh Mela celebration. It was beyond beautiful & inspiring to witness. words really cannot describe india's beauty & wonder. so hopefully this video will attempt to do so at least a little bit. this is what i saw.

THIS IS THE INDIA EVERY INFLUENCER AND TRAVEL VLOGGER HAS MISSED OUT ON. So exceptionally well done, the frames, the colours. Oh wow. As an Indian, this made me feel at home so much than I've ever felt through a video. This is gorgeous.

[@bqfilms]

go watch bald and bankrupt, he's a vlogger but talks to random people and goes inside random peoples homes, he's more about the people than the sights.

[@samnitsingh3259]

Sorry sir will disagree, the places he visited were very touristy and every travel blogger has filmed. There are countless places , like northeast India per say , rarely someone talks about that part of India.

[@sonniesays]

I hate it when I saw 'The end.' I easily could watch this for a few hours.

[@jacobsack]

Kind of reminds me of Baraka, the poetic documentary by Ron Fricke

[@jacobalfordgarcia5873]

agreed, thought this could go on much longer. fantastic.

[@MrYoabhay]

I loved how you captured the essence of India

[@kodakkevin]

Joe....this was a step up man. Felt like a sequence from Planet Earth or some documentary. I love the choice of clips and photographs used. A soothing edit and thoughtful music. Kudos man!

[@taylorwerfelmann]

The emotion and rawness of this video carries through the whole thing and paints India in such a unique and beautiful way. Nice change of pace from average travel videos. Keep it up man!

[@JahmarleyGrant]

That was so gentle and non-confrontational. Simply honest. Loved it. Keep killing it.

[@SamuelElkinsPhoto]

Incredible

[@WarzEdits]

this is the type of video you'd see on a "Vimeo Staff Pick" really good!

[@ballavisual5884]

Hold up - This was all filmed on an iPHONE??! Beautiful images. Super inspiring.

[@kasperhabtie]

makes me rethink owning a €1000 dslr...

[@MtotheW]

The images were not taken on an iPhone. The video was.

[@bernardralte]

The photographs were shot using film cameras

[@falafel420]

what?!

[@hrlostsanity]

2:46 This shot is JUST STUNNING. The video is so much better than every other "travel videos" using quick editing and transitions. I love it.

[@arthurvandamme718]

Honest capture! Love the shot of the guy on the boat with hands and feet together. The river washing with sunset and electricity poles is so surreal. Wow. Just, wow.

[@imaaronross]

You can feel the peacefulness and chaos in each frame. Beautifully captured and told.

[@ciao_abhi]

This is the most beautiful piece of film I've seen in the last few years. Just stunning. I love that you went into the heart of India. A lot of people are simply tourists. But you became a commoner, a citizen, a wanderer. Right into the heart of everyday life. Every portrait is beautiful. And it just makes you appreciate how beautiful every human and every culture is. Even those that live in the slums, that many might castigate or are apathetic towards are still beautiful. There is so much beauty in the world and not enough time to appreciate them all. But this made me want to throw my self out there and soak in our beautiful planet. To everyone that lives in the western world, I encourage you to not simply go to Paris or Barcelona, but to a completely humbling world like India. Take in all the joy and suffering, the similes and the pains of the people, the wealth and the destitute... and just get a sensation for your place in this world. Great video man, I am deeply moved.

[@jem4661]

The calmness I've felt through the entire video was amazing. Im also loving the pics you captured.

[@TheMPhotography]

Wow. Stunning. Probably the most beautiful photos I have seen from you. So emotional. Great job and thanks for sharing.

[@PilotReidB]

This video actually brought tears to my eyes. These photos are absolutely amazing and truly had me saying "I want to go to India"

[@joshywhvick]

legit shed a tear at how wonderful this was- thank you

[@vancourverite7779]

i love India (been there 2x and will go back again! ) and your photos make just take my breath away!

[@_alansong]

I come back to this video time to time and it never fails to render me speechless and just watch in awe

[@AliciaAndonSwan]

What I love most about these sorts of videos, is the combination of the stills and the footage with the audio on top of the instrumental music. So Incredibly beautiful to watch and listen to, thank you

[@florianguillonantigny]

I think my heart literally rushed through the video. It's very emotional, the pictures are just stunning, the film making is just as it should be for this kind of video and while I love to hear your thoughts on any regular video you've been doing lately, I think you made the right choice here, letting the pictures speak for themselves. It's something really really special. It feels nostalgic and powerful. I could easily see myself buying a ticket to whatch a movie like that or just buying a book made of this images. Thans for this man, it's just awesome to see that some very talented artists are sharing their awesome work with the entire world. It's a form of dedication toward art and photography especially. Cheers man

[@mallorymills2195]

something keeps me coming back to this video time and time again

[@kaylarachellerichmond]

This video nearly brought me to tears. Unbelievable, Joe. Just so beautiful.

[@joeycarter1096]

Your best video yet in my opinion. No explanations, no forced topic- it was a transparent, personal, and emotional view into India.

[@haroldcamilo4516]

amazing video Joe! waiting for the Iceland video as well...

[@pearlaton]

Beautiful photos, Joe! The portrait at 3:58 is my favorite.

[@CourtesyOfCruz]

please keep making this, probably my favorite type of video on youtube atm. you're killin it man.

[@harshlata.]

It's refreshing to see a perspective that doesn't show Bharat as a chaotic and noisy country. Both, the movie and the pictures are very beautiful. 🙏🏻

[@josephtayloruk]

I have the same feeling as the first time I opened Steve McCurry's book "India". Fantastic work Joe, from the video to the photographs. You told the story well.

[@niceblades33]

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You, my friend, are the beholder.

[@jonwelsh3203]

Beguiling.. Inspiring...Stunning Photography.... Thanks you Joe

[@olliebuv]

Beautifully shot, both stills and motion. Two simultaneous perspectives captured the moments so differently yet beautifully. This film left me wanting to see more. Subscribed.

[@fpj9886]

Joe Greer, take a bow. This was stunning.

[@dominicmcd1]

I seem to come back to this video alot, phenomenal photography.

[@leqmaamaleekeoepepw3594]

Love this! Your shots are amazing. Great job :)

[@MIikel17]

My god the portraits Joe are so amazing! nice work.

[@aarons6532]

Brilliant photos Joe, the very first one shown is a stunner! Great advert for travelling through India

[@Ferrari360Spyder]

I'm happy in my life knowing God made me a photographer. I don't think anyone will understand our passion to make photos but we do. Ty for making such a beautiful video, made me cry. May God continue to bless you in every aspect of your life. Bendiciones hermano Dios te ama.

[@Praderanoire]

This video gave me flashbacks to the month I spent there, you really did an incredible job capturing the essence of india and the culture they hold. Keep up the amazing work, and much love from LA!

[@andyb7039]

Watching this video has been the best 8 minutes I have spent for a long, long time. Thank you, Joe for sharing this beauty with us!

[@markriches3180]

Joe , India on film, I can honestly say it was beautiful to watch great pictures and video . I watched it twice. Wow.. thank you

[@TusharMisra]

That's my beloved city in the beginning. Thanks for capturing it so beautifully.

[@vancourverite7779]

[@michaelnguyen8782]

WOWOW! You sir are incredibly talented and everyone behind this video deserves all the credit in the world! I'm going through a rough patch as a photographer but this lifted my spirits..

[@sidneychan2134]

Beautiful shots of Lucknow - such an underrated place for tourists and visitors!

[@dharmacoffeenjuice4824]

I've been thinking on going to india, all the while people around me said that "it wasn't a good place to go". But this is the kind of india that i want to experience, not just the famous buildings and tourist attractions. Besides i go there with different reason as i am trying to find myself right now. Thanks Joe, this is superb.

[@Yeticomoelvaso]

This is art!

[@maxitaxi308]

Yes ! This is such an amazing piece, it was beautiful the vibrant colors of there culture are amazing. Thank you for capturing it in such an amazing way Joe. The way you made your video really pulled me in and made me feel like i was there with them.

[@bentonblanchard9118]

videos without words can often be more powerful than videos with.. beautiful work. every shot has a story behind it and that is the beauty of photography.

[@ninabean]

This video, the photos, everything was just beautiful. Amazing work

[@auswandernschweiz.ch.]

You created a masterpeace! You inspired me a lot to change our Vlogs a little bit and start something new! Thx a lot. Roman

[@negativeeffect4113]

[@willmason-jones1594]

Incredible footage and photographs.

[@houseofsteezy4119]

This is a video I could fall asleep to, not because it’s boring but because of how calming it is.

[@akashdhara03]

I've always been fascinated by someone looking in from the outside

[@ExIniTiaLD]

the video and photos make me so emotional!

[@401kcards]

Those colors are so surreal. So beautiful! Thanks for sharing Joe!

[@akshanshkumar]

Loved it. truly incredible. Incredible India.

[@legendarycondor]

Joe, this is the best photography youtube channel. You’re making it about the photos, not the gear. Seriously, keep it up! I’d be patreon supporter, or whatever way I can back up my words with my money.

[@chanelrivera7529]

I love love your videos, something so nostalgic about them, like a core memory

[@ianbutler5262]

Absolutely breathtaking, film and photos combined in this edit are superb, your inspiration for me now to go out and shoot is ten fold. Many thanks for sharing 👍

[@luvfaerytales]

So beautiful I could cry.

[@bodythetan]

Love the way you work with the 28mm focal length. Always feels like I’m right there

[@quxotic]

This video made me follow you and learn so many things from your film photography. I come back here every once in a while to get inspiration. Great photos of india.

[@ULATAN.]

Lovely portraits of beautiful people

[@pascalmettey7858]

Nice work, Joe. I've traveled to India a few times and it's a challenging place to visit. That's an understatement, absooolutely. It's brilliant, beautiful, confronting and uplifting all at the same time. The sea of humanity is overwhelming yet somehow sustaining.

[@slmxoxo]

So simple & beautiful

[@carbonejack]

Your introduction to this video captures the contradictions of India. It is the most fascinating place I ever visited.

[@themusicbed]

Joe - incredible. Wonderful shots. Love the handheld cam. Loved the Brique A Braq song choice.

[@robygonzales7482]

This is honestly so beautiful. Someday i’m going to travel and make these kind of videos. Thank you for inspiring me!

Beautiful video, amazing shots.

[@matthemphill4739]

Great video. Encompasses the natural beauty and culture of India!

[@zenitpro]

Pity it's "only" it last for about 8 minutes. I could watch this footage like forever. Great pictures as well, really inspiring.

[@bckyng7079]

I'm heading to India in March and I stumbled across this video from you shooting in NYC. You captured where you were beautifully and I can't wait for my visit!

[@Johnsmith12849]

Genuinely amazing cinematography…

[@patrickglackmeyer]

This was great I enjoyed every minute of it and I want to go to India so badly

[@bronwen965]
