Something happened... feat. SAFELIGHT BERLIN

[@safelightberlin]

Man, thanks a lot for your support. Amazing video, you and Sofian have done a great job. Much appreciated!

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Our pleasure! It was nice beeing there for the first day of the store! Wish you all the best and a bright future. We have to come back for the Smile-camera video :D

[@safelightberlin]

@@SamuelStreetlife ahahaha, yeah, the Happy Smile deserve some more attention! 😅

[@MakersTeleMark]

Much luck! I wouldn't have the balls to open a camera shop in these times. Having a beer for you two.

[@safelightberlin]

@@MakersTeleMark thanks!

[@haribangshakirant7397]

All the best SAFELIGHT BERLIN. Thanks Samuel for sharing.

[@hendrixg]

I love their approach for the relaxed setting. It is intimidating to approach stores when you don't know much. It's encouraging to see this!

[@safelightberlin]

True! We basically create Safelight because we were tired of this supponent approach! Sharing is caring, in every kind of things 😊

[@joshneill7695]

It's so nice of you to give these guys some publicity like this. I hope they go from strength to strength. 👍

[@SamuelStreetlife]

I hope so too!

[@manwhalejoe6962]

That intro is how every photog sees themselves in their head 😂

[@rgarciamainou]

What a nice video, full of nostalgic warmth. I like these new shop owners, wish there was something like it in my city. You made me remember buying my first camera in Hamburg. Happy and full of gleeful expectations. :)

[@safelightberlin]

Thanks for you kind words! 🙏

[@_lowcountry]

This is so fucking dope. My dream is to one day open up a shop like this. It’s a shame it would never work in my city. So rad of you to put this out there for them too. You rule man

[@simonmerriman2557]

Cannot wait until I go to Berlin next time - will definitely go to this cool store!

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Awesome!

[@alessandroiotti1888]

Thanks man, was a pleasure and the video is awesome! See you soon!

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Thank you Alessandro! Next time we have to shoot some street together :)

[@boris.dupont]

Thanks Samuel! It's fun to follow you! I can't wait to visit this shop next time I'm in Berlin, I'd like to try and use film cameras, it feels coherent after several years of shooting Fuji

[@corlazzoli]

So good to see! a new spot to visit during my next trip to Berlin!

[@davemenard5089]

Congratulations, the old way lives on! Good luck with your new place.

[@GabAxe]

Really nice store and people! I enjoyed the video a lot. Gotta visit Safelight next time in Berlin!

[@GeoffreyEduard]

Great episode. I follow these guys already quite a while on Instagram.

[@safelightberlin]

Thanks a lot for your support! 🙏

[@TNEWBerlin]

Love to see your Shop in full bloom Ale :) Thumbs up!!

[@safelightberlin]

Bastiiiii! Man, thanks tons for your words! Come to say hi whenever you want, I'll be happy to see you again!

[@heidrunmorgan663]

Great video! Best of luck to SAFELIGHT

[@alessandroiotti8621]

Thanks Heidrun! 😊

[@mk1photography62]

A great video and a really great idea to open a shop and give space and time for film users . I would love to set this up here in the UK

[@joelbenguigui2016]

Thanks for sharing. Congratulations and success! Cheers from Antwerp

[@StereoChimps]

Amazing ! We need more stores like this all over the world 🖤

[@adampaulhinton]

Awesome video as usual. This place looks dope, seems like an independent skate shop vibe. I'd be living in the place if it was by me. ha ha. Didn't see coffee though. 👀

[@safelightberlin]

Thanks Adam! We have only cold coffee unfortunately but in front of us there is already an amazing caffetteria, we didn't want to piss them off! 😅

[@adampaulhinton]

@@safelightberlin Problem solved! If I'm ever in Berlin I will have to swing by.

[@PPYTAO]

Great episode! I think it’s good to show places made by like minded people to help others learn about photography!

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Thanks Jamie! I think so too!

[@PPYTAO]

Samuel L. Streetlife thanks for the reply mate! You recently inspired me to pick up a camera again after not shooting for over a year and I managed to get an image I was happy with on my first outing 😬 I’m now looking to sell my rx100 mkiii and get a GR iii 😏 keep up the amazing photos and videos!

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Awesome man! Happy for you!

[@simonwilliams2109]

Thanks Samuel. Do you know why the shop is named “SAFElight”?

[@AlexOnStreets]

Great intro 😂 lovely video as always and always and always

[@disarmsox]

It looks a nice, relaxed social place and a good place to buy some film, a new camera, or just chat about photography. A nice relaxed attitude towards alcohol too. If this was in the UK, the police would be called and it will be shut down and people arrested! Best of luck with everything!

[@safelightberlin]

Thanks a lot! Let's hope Berlin will not turn as the other cities in Europe!

[@FoxKoit]

This look one very cool shop 😊👌🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I'm from Estonia... so I must try go there some day. 👌👉✈🚙

[@danielemilazzo432]

Daje Alessà!

[@safelightberlin]

Grazie Daniele! 😅🙏

[@ChritsianBucic]

Very cool topic and well done with the intro!

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Thanks Christian!

[@ccbphoto]

I think this is an excellent idea!!! I wish I had a place like this to hang with fellow photographers! It’s also good business.

[@safelightberlin]

Thanks Craig!

[@tatyanapavlova1397]

What film camera would you recommend for street photography?

[@SamuelStreetlife]

There are many... On a budget a point and shoot can be fun. Any DSLR. Maybe a Canonet QL17. For rangefinders I can recommend the Minolta CLE (I just bought one) or of course the leica M cameras. But there are expensive and heavy. The lens you buy is much more important.

[@slevinkelavra7037]

They make me think about two old dudes i know in Nantes ,france. Two old friends which are ( i think) the last analogue camera store in france, they make a lot of workshops and helped me every time i needed to. Maybe they chould contact them to have their exprience share. It's called "PHoto st pierre" and i wich your friends can have the same carriere as camera store owner as them and be still open in 20 years. congrat :)

[@tommasocauchi3115]

Epic video ahahah, laugh a lot, good luck safelight ✌️

[@safelightberlin]

Thanks!

[@bqfilms]

hahaha the start, must be nice

[@joentell]

That was such a badass intro! I love it! Must be nice! 😉

[@danieltan2771]

Yes!!! New Video!!!!

[@andrewstreater8423]

That intro made me think you finally got a Leica!

[@SamuelStreetlife]

That was the goal :D But no, not yet haha.

nice intro man!!

[@Noealz]

Great stuff as always, though for a second I was worried something bad had happened to ya

[@raytsakalas5381]

lol love the intro you should do more like that i love it and never miss a video or try not too

[@nickvideolife]

different and refreshing video great stuf Samuel

[@thegreatvanziniphotos5976]

What a fun vid. Even from stateside. I'm guessing the gold one is a Russian cam of some sort?

[@safelightberlin]

No, it's a proper Leica M2 that some crazy dude pimped 😅

[@bigal8848]

Cool video, cool place, and i always love your works ! its very simple and nice...I hope i can find place like that in Indonesia !

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Thank you Muhammad!

[@Jakethejakee]

hahahah, that opening gave me chills, and then made me laugh them away..

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Haha :D

[@elvisdepelvis4431]

Hahaha! That intro!

[@hnguyen218]

OK now u guys gotta go out and shoot with those funky sound cameras and make a vid

[@safelightberlin]

That's the idea! Can't wait to do it and piss all ppl on the street, hahahaha 😂

[@nelsinhostreetphotography686]

Very nice.

[@carstenosterwald6593]

...cool video...congrats...and the best wishes and luck for "safelight" !!! Samuel, if you come to Berlin again tell it me... :-) Greetz streetguy.de

[@safelightberlin]

Thanks Carsten!

[@jonnnyhol2001]

I’m number 666 on the likes for this video 👹

[@AdamKuzniar]

Samuel, I love you and your videos, but please stop with the titles. You could easily name this video "Something happened... MY FRIENDS OPENED A CAMERA STORE IN BERLIN" and it would be so much more informative and a lot less clickbaity.

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Sure. I actually wanted to change it later anyways (so that it is better searchable when you search for safelight berlin). But any other title would give the plot twist of the intro away, so I went with the clickbait just for now :)

[@brauliofontanez]

Very nice..can't seem to find a contact number, if you have one..

[@HANandSOL]

I can stay hours there 😄

[@safelightberlin]

Come! We have some beers and coffee too 😅😉

[@AdrianGilDirector]

Now you are a rockstar haha

[@Frequences_Part4]

i knew you would go analogue. i just did…

[@safelightberlin]

Good choice! 😉

[@chogno98]

1:00 Pow!

[@adampawg64]

Hope you buy the golden Leica 😂😂

[@safelightberlin]

Unfortunately he didn't! 😂

[@adampawg64]

Safelight Berlin ah rip that would be a cool video!

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Can't take away their crown jewel :D

[@safelightberlin]

@@SamuelStreetlife true! We will never let it go, it's our chosen one!

[@climbmicha]

Schade, dad hier janischt uff deutsch is (selbst in ach so 'coolen' Restaurants jibt's de Karte nur noch uff englisch). Ick würde ja für den Eingeborenen (Berliner) wenigstens en Untertitel machen. Sind die als 'Zielgruppe' zu kleen? wahrscheinlich 😔. Hätte mir beinahe interessiert.

[@jonoung]

Safelight repair safelight replace

[@TheTroppo65]

Intro was so over-the-top I didn't even watch the rest

[@SamuelStreetlife]

So you didn't get the joke? Sad.

[@TheTroppo65]

No, sorry I didn't. There was a joke?@@SamuelStreetlife

[@SamuelStreetlife]

@@TheTroppo65 Man if you have the time to comment why not watch the first minute of the video to get the answer yourself? :D Or don't, that's fine too.

[@TheTroppo65]

Fair call :) You've convinced me to watch it. Better be funny tho!! ;)@@SamuelStreetlife

[@TKim103]

...like this clickbait

[@joeltunnah]

Film... Zzzzzz.

[@MarkusMischek]

The Headline is clickbait. Please don’t do this. Its too cheap. And about the store, analogue photography will definitely disappear. Because nobody will produce film anymore. Right now it’s just a niche for hipsters. Taking photos on film is just too expensive and the whole process takes too long.

[@vu_derArchitekt]

for the economic efficiency, no one will use analog camera, yes ! But do you mean people can not have fun ? Do you know people still enjoy writing with ink pen on paper instead using computer? Not everything needs to be converted into money, please enjoy life.
