ON THE STREET WITH [008] : VoidTokyo Collective

[@MagdaReyman]

So weird to see people walking normally, no stress. Nostalgic.

[@mrcsanselmo]

If it was today it would be more photographers than people to photograph

[@MagdaReyman]

m g a hah, probably you are right. I came back to street photo in the end of 2020. I can’t wait to shoot when it’s normal again.

[@nfornick]

Sad but true.

[@Nclm1]

Since the pandemic situation will (hopefully) not last, it's an incredible opportunity for street photographers to capture this weird epoch.

[@MagdaReyman]

Père Nestor M'Bilou I’m in Sweden and there is almost no visual difference. So not so much to document, just feeling stressed

[@AlexOnStreets]

Can't believe you sat on this footage for so long! (obviously subtitles its a mountain of work) But what a great video. Mostly I want to say how nice Tadashi is, how hard he works making so many photos every month and doing the Rozou Project. And all the other members it's so nice to see them working hard. What a shame 2020/1 has brought us such challenges. But Fujitani said, "If it would be easy, it would stop being fun."

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Good summary :D Yeah I feel bad for letting them wait so long. But shortly after this trip the GR III came out and I started with all the Ricoh content. But I think it still works! Definitely got a new vibe now with the pandemic.

[@ThereGoesSpider]

@@SamuelStreetlife I’ve seen this footage before tho? Where?

[@NL0Gwenster]

@@ThereGoesSpider He did a previous video on the VoidTokyo collective - so it might feel similar to that one ?

[@tremolo664]

Pretty sure this is a re-upload or I'm having a 23 minute dejavú.

[@SamuelStreetlife]

@@tremolo664 I showed a few clips from this video in my Tokyo Street Photography Vlog I posted January 2019. You have seen a glimpse but not the actual content :)

[@joe_tographer]

This was honestly my favorite OTSW you've done! I'm jealous I wish I had a group of friends like that

[@southsonata]

i agree!!!

[@lolagpaz1792]

Same!

[@Dan-jg7zl]

I can't even find one friend who is like this.

[@joffreybardon-gac288]

watching such passionate people talking and vibing about their craft is incredibly inspiring. I can't wait to go out on streets to experience all of this again !

[@bertplus]

I have to say, this made me quite emotional watching it. It made me sad for our current state of affairs, and missing Tokyo, and inspired all at the same. I'm sure there's a fancy Japanese word for that. :) Thanks for putting this together, best street photo content on KZbin by far (and I have a lot of time nowadays to look).

[@RichardCampsMatos-qt8bd]

This is my favorite KZbin video. I've lost count how many times I've watched it. The stories, the characters, the buzz. It's incredible Thank you Samuel

[@LloydSpencer]

Ashley is very sound

[@demazy]

It is such a lovely thing to hear talking japanese and all the communication noise. It is truly revealing your authenticity.

[@TomVestvik]

I didn’t want this to end …

[@Rewsky21]

Same....loved it !

[@DrZeeple]

Totally

[@marcgs-sp]

That was definitely one of the most interesting videos on modern street photography I've watched on this platform, it's great to see their different approaches to photography, and a hint of their motivation and their character. Seeing Shibuya so crowded makes me miss Tokyo a lot and I cannot wait for corona to go away and to live in a "more normal" way again. Greetings from Barcelona!

[@kennethmyrez]

japanese style street photography is the king of street photography

[@shs1592]

Thanks!

[@thecandidframe]

I love this series. It makes me miss Tokyo so much.

[@juliangarces9416]

The cool thing about this video is that each street photographer took turns being interviewed by lin.taro. The stuff they say about photography and how they use their cameras were sooo enlightening. I learned a lot from this video

[@joseuribe430]

Tatsuo Suzuki is probably my favorite contemporary street photographer! Love the grittiness, black and white and overall esthetics

[@KarinMajoka]

This episode was so so good! So interesting to see how everybody’s work was so different and unique, though still kind of related to each other.

[@fengxia1234567]

I have watched this ten times in last few days. Beautifully done. Music and images made me emo! Love Japan.

[@arturspribeiro]

The bunny ear girls photo by Miko Okawa (2:16) is such a cool photo. I love it.

[@StreetsWideOpen]

This is how I remember street photography, out in the busy streets with people everywhere. What a great bunch of people in the VoidTokyo Collective, some really great photography between them. As street photographers I guess we all can't wait for things to get back to how they were and to get back shooting again. Thanks for the video Samuel.

[@Ostblockjunge]

2018 must be nice to photograph the streets back then! VoidTokyo such a strong collective of talented photographers! Love the video and I think its good that you sat on this footage so long because its a glimpse of how our future will look in one year! 🍻🍻

[@martinhernandezrosas6686]

I’ve been binge watching all of your KZbin videos and this one is definitely one of my favorites

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Thanks Martin! Also one of my favourites...

[@sejuvumedia6842]

Honestly this has got to be one of my favourite photography video on KZbin

[@PhilippMeiners]

very interesting group and very nice too...loved watching this. thanks for your work

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Glad to hear that Philipp! Thanks for watching!

[@jasongold6751]

Brilliant video! Amazing work. I prefer shoot alone or maybe one friend! Not into huge crowds! Look for quiter moments and folk. Again Bravo!

[@ThereGoesSpider]

I’m team Void Tokyo all the way!!! Great video.🙏

[@ertugcsayin]

I love this series, thanks man. I hope we can watch new episodes soon. Happy new year!

[@ZaneGage]

So sick seeing a bunch of s-tier photographers hanging out like this. Such cool vibes!

[@phimagery]

Thank you so much for this video. I am very impressed by all these great photographers.

[@miguelosvaldo]

what a fascinating group. big source of inspiration. refreshing for the time being. thanks for sharing it now.

[@JerryAdam]

Pumped to see an OTSW again! Seems like a chilled collective (:

[@ThereGoesSpider]

Miho Okawa and Kawarachan... 2 of my absolute favs!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@themoolag]

That part when Tatsuo really did look like he was having flashbacks. Man it would be nice to have a photographer posse walking the streets. Great video, Samuel! The editing and subbing must've been a lot of work.

[@ericmenu5408]

So interesting, I love this video and this collective ! Great pictures too ! Thx

[@timma8221]

Wow wow wow, what a quality! Love the pace， rhythm and music of the video. This could absolutely be a 90mins documentary!

[@laurencegoldman4639]

Awesome. Such a lively and supportive group. A real positive example for all of us.

[@swansheath]

Wonderful. So enlightening to see different techniques from such talented people who retain a humbleness that transcends

[@Hangiinjohnny]

Cant wait for more of these, always interesting to see how different photographers see and do things and always a tip or trick to try out

[@JasminGendron]

Good move to keep this footage for such a long time. It feels good to remember how real life was in Tokyo not so long ago. Great video!

[@WILDANDSTORY]

Another great video. I love this documentary vibe. Fortuitous timing to remind everyone how carefree life and meeting friends used to be and will be again.

[@sixthdutch]

I had a smile on my face the whole video. Great video, thank you.

[@jackofblades6736]

Soaking in all their knowledge. Thanks for sharing

[@JayPersepolis]

My reaction to this is definitely a sign of the times; On one hand, I felt nostalgia seeing these artists being able to pursue their art and a sense of happiness and twinge of excitement seeing everyone being able to walk round, intermingling with one another, everyone enjoying themselves, speaking to one another and eating and drinking in fellowship. On the other hand, I thought my anxiety rise seeing everyone being able to walk around, intermingling on one another, everyone enjoying themselves, speaking to one another and eating and drinking in fellowship. Fucking COVID and lockdown.

[@drewthenoise7119]

Sam, thank you so much for your brilliant works! I am fall in love!

[@balboa0621]

Dude, why was I just watching your gear reviews and other random shit but never knew about this series? Really excellent stuff.

[@streets28mm]

Good to see Tatsuo and the gang, I love to see them out of Japan! Great video, thank you!

[@ElusiveFrame]

Another great one. Make more in 2021! It's so much fun seeing how other people go about their photography 😎

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

oh so great footage 😍 I love japan. also nice to see such a carefree time, without masks and distance. The group is also really symphatic. 👍

[@tudorbartas]

Excellent episode. Thank you.

[@robertking619]

I absolutely love this collective!!! thank you!!!!

[@TheCaptainWalter]

Like many others, I was disappointed when we had to say goodbye. Terrific episode.

[@rockymhs]

Thanks for this production. I really enjoyed watching it like rest of your work.

[@mikog1926]

One of the best OTSW you did!

[@gonzalorunner]

Your videos are so inspiring. Nice group of talented people!

[@marcotine7119]

This is good, Sam. Such a nice, warm feeling coming from the footage. Thanks for sharing it!

[@eddyjcreative100]

Luv the tunes with this video

[@ArnaudFoucard]

An amazing insider of the Tokyo street photography scene!

[@my_obscure_epoch9346]

Absolutely fantastic video, thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. Thank you so much for creating it.

[@_H_2023]

Such a good video, I enjoyed this. Thank you.

[@LloydSpencer]

Great video. Some serious folk there!

[@tonypulido8127]

Love these, they make me want to get out and shoot. Thank you!

[@jordhon]

damn that was so fun to watch, thanks for making this samuel! such interesting characters. definitely made me miss interacting with other photographers and documenting crowded spaces!!!

[@jamesamoh7340]

It must have been nice to hangout with them. The wait on this gem was worth it. What an awesome group of skilled individuals! Thanks for the awesome content.

[@southsonata]

Loved the video Samuel!! This really makes me miss the days before covid, so much energy on the streets and subjects to capture and being with photography friends as well!! 😪😪

[@janklein6593]

samuel, you made a really fine video with a lot of emotional scenes and very interesting inside informations for each photographer. a highlight was the communication between the different persons. a huge compliment for your work!!!

[@alexandrd575]

OH! That team! amazing persons! In my dreams- someday going travel to Japan. Thank you!

[@hewhotellsastory]

This was great, just harken back to the good old days before everything went west.

[@ZoneFocused]

Damn that was a good little doc Samuel! I've been living in Okayama for almost 2 years now and the pace of life here and the size of the city here is a totally different vibe from the chaos of Tokyo. Seeing all of these photographers in their element, and hearing their thoughts on what and why they shoot was really interesting. Also on your part, beautiful camera work and editing this whole mini doc together. Could have watched this for an hour! Very inspiring man! Thank you!

[@wichersham]

I must say this is fantastic subtitles. いやー、この字幕作業は大変だったと思います。VOID TOKYOのメンバーはこんな感じなんですね、初めて見ました。ありがとうございます。

[@robinchun1]

to coin a phrase..absolutely fabulous! yes the subtitles took some following but it was worth it, great stuff

[@antonhei2443]

I just had a trip from Peru to Japan through this amazing video! Love it! Viele grusse!

[@NicJohnson]

It's weird how emotional this video made me. I got really excited to see a bit of normality even if it was for a short time in this video. Sad it ended so quickly. Thanks, Lintaro.

[@romanticbaldy]

I love this one. It's one of my faves!

[@MN-bq1hu]

Great video - love the series!

[@jacopoorenzi]

I love this type of video, I discovered you through the video about Tatsuo Suzuki, all the shots you show in the videos are always a source of inspiration to improve my street photography, also It always make me feel a bit of nostalgia and melancholy when I studied in Japan in Tokyo in 2019, I really want to come back! Greetings from Italy!

[@sc0ttmagoon]

I love this. What a talented gang.

[@demazy]

I'm now digging into this series. It's so great to explore and discover other's perspective, vision and setups. Btw, I realised I really like your music selection. Really like the jazz hop beat at the the end.

[@MoodyDen]

Wanting to see this project for so long and now is here and it's lit lit!_! Love the video and the vibe they have.

[@EDHBlvd]

Throwback to the good old days.

[@TheGyroBarqusShow]

Unsatisfyingly short, wish you interviewed everyone of them. It would be much nicer. However, this and Reed's are my absolute favorites from your channel mate.

[@alex.velasco]

Excellent production, well done!

[@TKim103]

These are easily your best videos

[@davidgleave3125]

Like all your stuff but really enjoyed this one 🙏

[@gianlucapistoia7]

Bellissimo video , Grazie !

[@ohjajohh]

16:10 wow this bulldog picture is there for many years already! :) I have a pic from it from my 2010 Tokyo trip

[@dan_s_higginson]

I love the void photo books!

[@cutvisuals5933]

Best content on the street very inspiring greetings from Bremen

[@skippem]

so good! enjoyed every minute of this

[@IanMcCausland]

To hang with this crew, that would be so awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@dellaird9160]

Brilliant, Uplifting video!

[@Toru.I]

Sooo fabulous!!!! Thanx!!

[@ActionSapiens]

16:00 this is good... gave me goose bumps

[@Bryan-lu4du]

Really fun video. I miss Tokyo

[@zobongsar]

VoidTokyo X OTSW great work Samuel 👍

[@teedeww5049]

Love tadashi! He shows that photography is not always about good cameras, although nikon j5 is a good camera, just nowadays, specs-wise its falling far behind. His observation skills are so good.

[@sonholee5769]

2018! That was a fine year... :P Great document.

[@smaeyl]

Great video! Enjoyed watching it!

[@gilang6710]

This video contains a new vibe that actually the one we used to feel/experience, dang!

[@mauritsgli]

Fantastic, thank you.

[@TheTAOLounge]

Great work Samuel! Thank you for your threats on street! Feliz año from Spain! Domo arigato 🙏🏻

[@aramdavid]

I love these videos

[@IvanOsikin]

Great document man! Made me jealous of you (played there with my band way back in 2000) Such an exciting place.
