Medelliiiin!

[@JuliusGrohl]

We all missed this kind of videos from you Federico, hope to see a big series from Colombia and maybe other countries too. It’s just so peaceful to hear your voice and watch your photos.

[@StarlordStavanger]

Great video, always happy to see your adventures from your unique perspective as a person AND as a photographer. Looking forward to your next video!

[@FTrovatten]

A pleasure to hear! Thank you!

[@rugileliu1079]

Glad you’re back! Can’t wait for your upcoming videos

Thank you for taking us with you, love how you captured the atmosphere, demystified the risk and showed beautiful kind people making the world a better place.

Thank you!

As a fellow photographer and Medellin being my hometown I wish you had chosen a different approach to the title. We are sooo tired of the association with Pablo Escobar. You have been so respectful to the places you visit and your photography is inspiring, you are a fantastic artist is just a shame that you chose to continue with this dated narrative that we have to carry everywhere we go as Colombians. Especially since you really don’t cover anything related to Pablo Escobar. In the future please be more mindful with the way you describe the places you visit. Yes, Medellín has some sketchy places "El Centro" being one of them, the taxi was right to warn you to be careful but yet again nothing related to your title and more to the pandemic.

[@okok72277]

Especially when he talks about how he hates when KZbinrs sensationalise places in their videos

[@gerryphilpott9766]

Agreed. I was in Cali in the 80's with an old girlfriend and friends. Today they look back at that as a short and unfortunate blip of the history of that great country, and deflects from the wonderful people and culture that has been through so much but still beams with pride. Sounds like a worthwhile photography project.

[@FTrovatten]

Ale you're completly right. It was not cool using that title and thumbnail. Thanks for taking the time to write me. I've changed the title + thumbnail. I had the best time in Colombia and Medellín, and it should reflect that.

[@alesuluz]

@@FTrovatten thank you for taking the time to make the change, greatly appreciated 🙏🏼 I’m glad you had a good time in Medellin! 💛💛 looking forward to your next vídeos I really enjoy your work!

[@michelefranciotta]

Such a cool locations, loving those shots!

[@abchappell01]

That was. a very nice tour you gave of this somewhat notorious city.

[@zoltankaparthy9095]

Good to see you again.

[@amedeof]

Your videos are always beautiful, Frederik! Just yesterday I was thinking about a your new video!

[@gilbertdaroy6080]

Glad you're back.

[@valleyphoto2334]

The 🐐 is back with another video ! Amazing work as always !

[@samueli.9964]

Great video! But in my opinion there is no need to advertise it with the negative (name of a druglord) history of this town and country. It has many more positive sides that should get attention. The wonderful people there for example. Nevertheless, great video that I enjoyed watching.

[@bcegerton]

It really is great to see you back on here Frederick, you have been missed. I think the taxi driver was right but a little melodramatic, still, best to be safe first

[@jensb3490]

Hej Frederik - greetings from Copenhagen. Yet another well made video - always enjoy watching the vids you upload. Keep 'em coming. All the best 🙂

[@gerryphilpott9766]

Great video. So nice to see Medellin thriving today. I was in Cali and the north coast back in the 80's and I would love to go back to Colombia again today. Wonderful people!! PS - glad to see you posting again.

[@CaminoDuro2009]

Missed your Rolleiflex Vlogs!

[@estebanduarte8491]

when I saw that you were coming to Colombia I was very happy I even wrote to you on ig and I had the opportunity to talk to you, I was happy that you answered me, I admire and am a great fan of your work but like other Colombians the title you chose hurts me I hope you can reflect on this and do not take it the wrong way or reject it, as always I will continue to support your content!

[@FTrovatten]

You're completely right. After reflecting on it, I changed the title and thumbnail. I loved the city and the people in Medellín and using that title + thumbnail was distasteful. Thank you for commenting Estaban.

[@estebanduarte8491]

@@FTrovatten I have no words I just want to thank you for listening to us and taking it this way I really appreciate it and I confirm that more than a good photographer you are a excellent person and that’s the reason I follow u

[@MadredeAgua9]

WE'VE MISSED YOU, MR T!! Thanks for yet another great video and your phenomenal frames.

[@antwon8902]

Once again you keep making masterpieces.

[@eugenekutz7626]

Nice pictures, interesting video 👍 I wonder how do you meter your scenes? Just behind the scenes with external ligh meter or smartphone app?

[@FTrovatten]

I just used the built in light meter. Starting to doubt the accuracy of it though.

[@petercardow2083]

Endnu en fantastisk beskrivelse af by miljøer der er så fjernt fra dem vi omgiver os med i skandinavien... tak Frederik !

[@baladino]

In 2019, I eagerly awaited your videos. It seemed then you were really doing your best work photography wise and connecting with humanity. Every video was solid. This seems like a weak travelogue with that write by numbers narration. It’s not easy being on the path you were. Perhaps it was never about becoming a street respected and amazing photographer on the rise. So guy, I’m gonna tell it like it is rather than sing false praises.

[@FTrovatten]

I hear you. I tried to do this video while visiting friends in another country. And it was easy to rationalize it as “I’ll bring my camera and do videos” but it shows 100%. And I’ve cancelled some trips I had planned for that reason, because mixing it doesn’t work like that. Anyways! Appreciate the honesty and your time for given real feedback!

[@MarkiModica]

Amazing video and content!

[@kellyonfilm8875]

good your back

[@fahd3754]

love your vids ferderik, but i have a question, why do you shoot B&W, i cant imagine myself go to such a colorful and beautiful country and not shoot color , is there a reason or is it just preference?

[@FTrovatten]

Thanks! It’s actually just to narrow my focus. But you’re right, it’s also a bit of shame in these colorful cities :).

Are you planning to go to Bogotá?

Hej velkommen tilbage

[@FTrovatten]

Tak!

[@amentet]

I am from Medellin, and As much as I love your content, i really don’t like the fact that you are using Escobar’s name. It is like using Hitler for advertising anything for Germany. He brought so much pain and problems for us. We are still dealing with the consequences of his actions and legacy

@@FTrovatten i appreciate it Frederick. I hope you are having a good time here.

[@Caracalaba]

I don't know if calling such a large city after the infamous drug dealer is respectful to the locals, clickbaity at least

Hej

[@FTrovatten]

Dav!

[@dflf]

Why shoot such a colorful city in B&W?

[@mothertruxkthesystem]

this is really cool, but that taxi driver wasn’t over exaggerating. right now in colombia, due to conflicts between venezuala and political socialism, many big cities are filled with more criminals. Cali is the most dangerous, but Medellin is getting there. no dar papaya👍

[@mateo_cs]

Great video, but like many foreign people you put more importance in a bad person (Pablo) than the landscapes, the people and the culture... Just to get more views.

[@bioliv1]

I LOVE there, please don't go to the modern areas with disgusting people, like Barcode in Oslo!
