Shooting Minimalistic Self Portraits in the Morning...

[@SebAlex]

Man, I don't know how you don't have hundreds of thousands of followers. Just found your channel yesterday and your videos are brilliant. Audio, script, skills, color grading, etc. Keep up the good work!

[@teocrawford]

Wooow sweet, thank you so much!🥺🙇🏻‍♂️

[@purvr4626]

The last shot looks like a scene from blade runner 2049, soo cool🔥

[@teocrawford]

Aww thank you!🙇🏻‍♂️

[@spellxthief]

11:40 Blade Runner 2049! love the construction arm and your long jacket look great here

[@teocrawford]

Ohhh yeah, thank you!🤗🙇🏻‍♂️

I love the photos at 4:00 and 11:35! All of them turned out incredible!! At 4:00 it gives some sort of nostalgic vibes because you said it was your primary school, and idk it gives a feeling of looking back in time with the dreamy vibes as well. Great video!!!

[@teocrawford]

Sweeet, thank you!🙇🏻‍♂️ Ohh yes I'm also totally into the dreamy and nostalgic vibe - I like your interpretation!

[@hmuz8388]

11:45 bladerunner vibes!!

[@teocrawford]

Yeeeah🤩

[@patrickwalker6802]

The last shot of the day was my favorite! Excellent video as always!

[@teocrawford]

Mhmm I like that one so much as well, thank you Patrick!🙇🏻‍♂️

Dope video Teo... All of the pictures came out amazing but 11:21 is just right... It gives me a sense of what is to come ahead, leaving it all up to guessing. Peace, Love, and Happiness!!! 🙃

[@korinaviado3333]

Love your cinematic and minimalistic approach in today’s photo-bike session. My faves are 6:43 and 11:22. I just wish south Florida gets this Autumny-misty vibe so could try this too

[@teocrawford]

Thank you, happy to read you liked the episode🙇🏻‍♂️ Ohh noo you don't get that there? Maybe you can take a trip to another state that has a similar climate to Austria?🤔

[@3lliexir]

Amazing video as always, Teo! 3 years late to the party, but I'm here now and my takeaway out if this video is to be honest and patient in critiquing my own work . Much love!!!

[@macoveicristian8165]

Wow this was shot on my birthday. Glad to see you had a great one! The excavator arm is sensational, gives me Bladerunner vibes.

[@StickusBugus]

Idk how you edit these but they're so good.

[@hardene8888]

Cool portraits! Your location is my dream ... beautiful! I agree with you Teo, the last photo is my favorite too! It's like a poster for a new apocalyptic movie. I think this is one of your best session yet. Looking forward for more.✊

[@teocrawford]

Thank you!🙇🏻‍♂️ Well you'll have to come over to Austria one day then!🙌🏼 Ohh wow, thanks🙇🏻‍♂️

[@hardene8888]

@@teocrawford That would be the day 😁 I still have my list so one day I will surely visit Austria 😁

Maybe it sounds crazy, but I just had an uncontrollable little cry how well the shot from 6:51 turned out LOL Love your style

[@MarylandDroneMedia]

Last one was very cool.

[@teocrawford]

Ohh thank you!🙇🏻‍♂️

[@Mr.Flanagan11c]

I wish I had fog like that. Damn the desert. However, you have inspired me to change up my self portrait game. Thanks!

[@josecaringal]

Wow, another great video! I really like the photo on 3:46. It's a great representation of life, where a person finds oneself in the middle shrouded with mist (representing confusion). While thinking of which way he/she will go, is it to the goal which will take the person to a higher place in life but the person doesn't really like it. It's just what seems to be the practical choice in life. (which is represented by the basketball goal placed higher in the photo) or will the person move towards the goal near and dear to one's heart (represented by the soccer goal placed on level with the person which also mean that goal is on level with what the person's heart wants) hahahaahahah. here I am over analyzing things.😅 But nonetheless another great content. It's so great the photos can make a great narrative. Thanks Teo!🙌🏼

[@teocrawford]

Wow that's such a beautiful interpretation of the photo - I love it!🙇🏻‍♂️ You put so much meaning into that photo using the few visible elements - I really enjoyed reading your analysis🙌🏼

[@abdoubdn673]

Awesome, Love your channel !

[@teocrawford]

Sweet, thank you!🤗

[@illius85]

Did you try Pro-Mist filters? You get your beloved dreamy look everywhere even without mist :) got the 1/2 but ordered the full stop as well just because i love it so much :D

[@teocrawford]

No, I haven't tried one yet, but I'm looking into them and the alternatives because I plan to buy one soon😏 So far I've come across the Black Pro-Mist, the Moment CineBloom and the DreamFX or something - I'm still trying to figure out which look is the one I want👌🏼 However I do think that the real mist does it best :D

[@NancyChamberlain]

Wow some great photos there Teo! I think I better wake up for a morning shoot sometime... 🤔

[@teocrawford]

Sweet, thank you Nancy!🤗 Ohh yes please do that - you will not regret it!💪🏼

[@hobotoad]

4:08 the tree adds a “darkness looming overhead” affect which I thought added some interesting depth to the photo 👍🏼

[@teocrawford]

Ohhh that's a cool way to look at it, thank you!🤔🙇🏻‍♂️

[@ak4good]

Another great video! So many great shots, but maybe my fav are the running ones at the end. Love the fact that you get some jogging in on these photo "walks" too ;-) Curious though, what would you say were some of the advantages of the A7 over the GX80 for this particular shoot?

[@teocrawford]

Hahah yeah I'm also happy to get in some exercise on these trips :D Thank you🙇🏻‍♂️ For this particular shoot there wasn't any. I mainly wanted the A7iii for it's video capabilities🙌🏼

[@MariusG101]

Another great video, Teo! This is what photography vlogs should be like. Less about the gear and more about the techniques and results.

[@teocrawford]

Thank you Marius! Glad to read you enjoyed the episode🙌🏼

[@braytonlife]

Cooooool! First, where you live is really beautiful. But the real inspiration here is to take simple surroundings and make beautiful pictures regardless... I struggle with that part as I am not a big fan of where I live right now... I'm making peace with that as it looks like I'm going to be here a while. The intervalometer thing is brilliant btw, do you know how many times I have used the self-timer and run back and forth like a dozen times to get self-portraits? The last photo of the day looks like a movie poster... TEO: ROBOT SLAYER! lol! The coat gives you this whole Dr. Who thing going on... Ok, silly, non-photo question... what is the bike you have?

[@teocrawford]

Thank you!🙇🏻‍♂️ Yeees Austria is just such a beauty! I'm happy to read you could take away that for yourself, because I do really think that that's important for any photographer. Concerning the bike question: I seriously have absolutely no idea, it was a gift a few years ago and don't know anything about bikes😅

[@tillbrgt]

soo clean. love it🙌🏽 How you edit your pictures?

[@sivaljalesh2957]

11:50 gives thomas shelby vibes 👀✨️

[@peterhajtman6290]

The photo at 11:20 looks as if it was from Bladerunner, very stunning picture :D

[@teocrawford]

Ayyy thanks mate!🙇🏻‍♂️

[@ASMRBreathe]

Loved this video! I have a question, i own the panasonic gx80 with the 14-140 mm panasonic lens. But i feel like a lot of my images are unsharp when i zoom in? I really don't know what i'm doing wrong..

[@teocrawford]

Thank you, glad to read that!🙇🏻‍♂️ Concerning your question: Hmm I don't really know why...have you tried manual focusing? Or try adding sharpness in Lightroom, maybe that helps🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ASMRBreathe]

@@teocrawford Thankyou, no i sadly don't have the programme.. What are your settings with the zebra stripes etc? When i go watch my photos on my camera i see black spots coming in and out on the places where it is too light. And i try to make photo's with this lens from my jewellery but it seems unsharp. Is this because of the lens i am using? It only is focussing on one part and the rest is not in focus..

[@teocrawford]

@@ASMRBreathe I don't use Zebras - I find them really annoying😕 I just check the exposure with the histogram👍🏼 Hmm I don't know how to help you with the sharpness... does the lens maybe become sharper at a higher aperture?🤔

[@ASMRBreathe]

@@teocrawford Thankyou, truly i don't know i am a beginner haha! I do have a cpl filter on top of it! The problem with the jewellery photo's is that only one part of the jewellery is sharp and the unsharp.. How do i make the whole piece sharp?

[@teocrawford]

@@ASMRBreathe Try closing you shutter👍🏼 At f/1.8 a lot of the image becomes unsharp, whereas at f/5.6 you see much more in focus👌🏼

[@borispejic170]

Very inspiring shooting Teo. What kind of focus do you use with the intervalometer self portrait shooting. Do you use autofocus for every new frame or just manual focus/pre-focussing?

[@aaronlobido5120]

Hey theo, i just wann ask how you set up your focus point when doing self portraits like this?

[@teocrawford]

I just set the focus on the landscape actually😅😅
