Good Morning! AS PHOTOGRAPHERS WE MUST UNDERSTAND OUR SOCIETY & COMMUNITIES - PLEASE WATCH 13th on NETFLIX (www.netflix.com/title/80091741) to get a good understanding of how American society came to this situation. I thought in 2020 we would be over with racism I guess - not! Learn, unlearn and support. Protests are 99% peaceful and then a small group comes to destroy things and the whole energy shifts - usually peaceful people leave at this point. Be careful if you go shoot - there are tons of reports from other cities where law enforcement attacks journalists. - Photos recap on Instagram: instagram.com/pierretlambert Keep it up everyone & spread LOVE & COMPASSION ❤️

[@sweetadeline003]

Thank you Pierre for sharing valuable information

[@Rogersoares89]

Hey man, great great great video!!! Perfect shots you took,. Your video should be viral! This is just what the world and America in first place is becoming... greetings from Azores

That is so weird, I read this comment the second he said it 😮

[@djelar6751]

The protester need to be more gentle, dont just sit down in the car, down to the street and gather more people and do something roughly... cause that will make that police trembling. Need more power to push that police

[@jonahpri8413]

Birds aren't real

just documenting this is worth it. Incredible footage. Insane 38 mins great video bro!!!

[@Pierretlambert]

Thanks David!!

[@KandiKlover]

Looks like a real mindless jackoff live view shooting off the screen like that too, like the other overindulgent animals shoving their s,art phones around everywhere.

[@potatoesofdefiance]

Pierre...you are among my favorite photographers. This entire shoot is historic and has gone down to an important place in the history books. I hope when you put together a book of your works, you don't miss this day...a very sad day for the entire humanity, not just US.

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

These photos are amazing. This is what photographers are made for; documenting the emotion and perspective of times like these.

[@Pierretlambert]

Thank you!

[@liamc1102]

Not just for these times

[@MAzizMedhioub]

which lens did he use for this photoshoot?

[@KandiKlover]

“Times like these” the biggest non-existent buzzword for mental infants who can’t think for themselves.

[@hobb7es]

Incredible footage. I live in Chicago and seeing this footage of an area I used to walk around is heartbreaking. Thank you for capturing history as it happened. Be safe out there.

[@prajwalgraphy8430]

This is what they mean when they say a picture tells a 1000 words

[@content]

The shots you got during this video are absolute pieces of art & history and I hope they use them in history books long in the future

Nice that you are in the states, where were you born? How was your experience immigrating here if you don’t mind me asking... ;-)

This isn’t a protest, this is a riot.

Exactly.

[@robertmckay5203]

That's powerfull video on a topic which we are not being made aware of here in the UK!

[@patrickmchenry3459]

I was living just outside of Chicago at this time and had heard a lot a stories about what was going on since I had some friends who were living in downtown Chicago. It's so good to see another perspective, especially one that was a bit more in the action.

[@peggysuemccormick3054]

This is very emotional footage. Thank you capturing history. I also cannot believe that we still have these issues in 2020 . I could hope that a worldwide pandemic would bring people together and realize that all lives matter. You are an inspiration to me and I thank you for that.

[@clivesouffe5423]

Well said Brother, your voice can be heard when you think wisely n do the action wisely, role the same game around

[@h____7353]

Thank you for this great video 👏🏼 and you risking your life to share this message is just great 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@treehugger33]

I don't live in this city, but 2020 is going to be remembered as a surreal year. This is by far one of my favorite videos of yours. Thanks for recording history and sharing it!

[@thebaliunicorn5010]

Crazy how it turns from people just yelling “no justice, no peace”with signs to looting and catching cars on fire

[@tl1480]

Sometimes, people cannot justify their opinions with reason. When that happens, they resort to violence. Physical force never leads to positive outcomes. Reasoning does.

[@SMacleodT]

Id love to see the settings used with each photo on PoV videos like this.

[@henningstrunk7734]

Very nice Video, nice words, nice photos just perfect about the situation right now.

[@kelvi2625]

Brilliant photography to share to us! Thank you for letting us see a glympse of history in the making. And btw what lenses you used? Thanks and stay safe everyone.

[@jaxongibbings9019]

These photo's are absolutely crazy! You are literally capturing history.

[@paulanthony30]

I was down there doing the same thing (of course your shots are far superior to mine), but yeah, at some point we took some of the same shots around the same time, we HAD to have walked past one another at some point. Great job my friend.

[@chris-lloyd]

Did you figure out why your screen kept turning off? Might be dust on the viewfinder sensor

[@ErwanYTube]

Hey Pierre. Very nice set of pictures, very impressive! Is that the 24/1.4 you're using? You really got the eye to capture the best angles.

[@bertrandnagy2515]

Ces photos sont splendides, bravo !

[@aquilifergroup]

Don’t get political. This is one channel that doesn’t deal in that bs. Keep it that way

[@ang_matos]

Nice job Pierre. What about the apperture most used for the shots? Can you share the main setings you have used?

Great video! Why the double camera setup and not the 70-200?

[@CosmicOwlChild]

Its crazy.. and amazing what's happening... when the sun sets they came out... and yes there will always be instigators in everything. and its kind of funny seeing that one part of those ladies in that car and they just went into that building.. ppl are just driving around to take advantage as well..

[@haydensimpson5959]

[@cadesheffield642]

just curious why would you blur their faces in the pictures but not in the video portion?

[@KevinCollects]

So Dope Bro!!!!

[@thehoff1014]

Some great photos !

Merci de partager ce qu'il se passe outre-Atlantique Pierre ! Complètement abasourdi par cette mort, ce meurtre dira-t-on peut-être officiellement à l'avenir. Il y a clairement des semeurs de trouble professionnels pour lancer la casse mais pour la grande majorité, comment ne pas comprendre la peine, la tristesse, la colère, ou tout à la fois ? Take care !

[@wohfab]

Shit. Just watching this is intense.. stay safe everybody!

[@rpenguin12345]

Seems like it’s a digital camera and don’t people use film cameras more to shoot on the street? Personally I like film cause after printing it out you could actually hold your own films is really awesome!

[@Riezaldd]

man, amazing shots!

[@williamweill473]

incroyable !!! unbelievable !!!

[@TimVeatch]

Pierre, I looked through your gear list ... did I miss how you're strapping the gopro to your body. Anyway that's what I struggle with the most 😀

[@Pierretlambert]

Chest mount! I'll add that ;)

[@TimVeatch]

@@Pierretlambert thanks! You seem to shoot from the LCD most of the time How's it look when using the viewfinder? do your arms cover the lens?

[@nokap3193]

i dont support the riots but i love the video! we all have our own opinions!

[@ryan41024]

Hi Pierre, I'm just finding this video now a few months later and it is very moving. I want to ask, what are you wearing when you shoot something like this? Do you have media badges, or wear anything to separate yourself from the protestors? I am a photographer as well and would be scared to capture something like this.

[@mon6940]

[@txlilstar63safenotsorry]

Hi I have a question I'm new to getting into photography and I realized a few of you photographer hold your camera sideways can you please tell me why I know this has nothing to do with what this video is about but I'd like to know if you can answer

[@sabotai1]

It's to shoot portrait orientation shots (taller format typically used for people).

@@dolandale8822 well, statistically speaking, there are more white people in the US than black people so most protests will be majority white ppl

[@dillamadukes21]

@@hehyouthere what you’re saying does not logically follow. The demographics of an event like a protest have a multitude of more relevant external causes (social & political zeitgeist of the population) intertwining outside of race.

[@hehyouthere]

@@dillamadukes21 what? All I said was that majority of protesters were white which is true. Look up America's population by race, it's 60.1% white...more than any other race here.
