That photo of the the two people on the station platform is a masterpiece.

[@s.z.x.01]

Ikr, totally something I didn’t expect

[@thanhtungvo5631]

I'm a newbie to photography. Could you explain it for me?

[@imkevines279]

Dam “don’t create for social media” hit me, thanks bro. Randomly came to this video and I’m happy I did.

[@noormuhammadcahyagumilar5256]

ikr? i also stumble upon it on my recommendation and i thanked youtube for that

[@mrenovatio3739]

Social media is the reason most people shoot these photos...

[@johns1139]

The small photo book idea is brilliant! I think you're the only person I've seen on youtube that's recommended bringing one.

[@funkyclubber]

I paused right after the photo book part and subscribed ! Although now that I have watched it to the end I would have subscribed anyway.

[@Pyliip]

Hi John, Samuel L Streetlife, another great channel, mentioned it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4TIYpWid9mSjcU

[@dennisvanmierlo]

John S For sure an excellent idea! I have never seen anyone with this idea.

[@jamesanglin4417]

I agree 100% !

[@RTV9918]

Was thinking the same thing. Definitely gonna try it out for future references

[@DecentGatsby]

A great tip: don’t collect gear, it’s a huge trap for your creativity. The best camera is the one you already own (I think that’s a quote?). I only shoot with a Olympus mju II and a beat up m9, it’s what I’m comfortable with. Great video

[@subrotomitra]

now you tell me!!!

[@herebarian]

That quote is by Chase Jarvis I think…. not sure though

[@steveburke7675]

I'd rather spend my cash on travel than gear.

[@NathanRDube]

"The best camera is the one you have on yourself" it goes more like that but you were close

[@salan858]

Absolutely loving your videos. Looking forward to seeing more, keep it up!

[@Cheeba__]

The train picture with the two people is literally so beautiful!! 😩💕✨

[@gnatlou]

I'm a street photographer and definitely one of the more 'nervous' ones! One thing I would like to add - even though I typically shoot on film with the most compact camera, a DSLR with a smaller prime lens (35/50mm) is a good alternative too as it tends to stick out a lot less. I think also being a (small) female tends to help a little too (although this is purely accidental) as I look less threatening to most people and no one really notices me.

[@kemingt]

great tips man. love your down-to-earth style and these tips were really useful. hope to see more from you!

[@TENGUJAPON]

A few videos ago I told you "You have the eye" but now I can tell you this is one of the best videos on street photography i've ever watched. Not only tips were on point but also the photos displayed here were really good. I hope your channel blows up soon!

[@FaizalWestcott]

Thank you! This is so encouraging! I'll keep it going

[@gabrielmoron3807]

Couldn’t agree more!! This guy’s awesome!

[@valantisjpg]

Keep those videos coming, your channel is great!

[@tonydinh7372]

Just found your channel, great tips. I LOVE the mini portfolio idea! Since we're all on lockdown. I will be taking the time to refine/look back at older pictures and make one with twenty of my best shots!

[@Nbaballer24kb]

[@ericsondmd]

Awesome tips mate. Simple, direct and concise. subscribed!

[@erickalbarracin2676]

Awesome advice man! Thanks for creating this video.

[@megiMove]

wow, something just really resonated with me on this video with you... we dont always know what we're taking photos of. somethings we can be distracted by thoughts and other things.. but, our deeper conciousness sees something that we dont see right away.. really love the tips and the energy.. spot on!

[@oldschoolgaming419]

i agree with most of that!!! the small book was so creative and useful!

[@mircagardenman7629]

Thank you for the tip. I have just subscribed! Keep it up.

[@kristianos5458]

[@ennea.2002]

Thank you so much, love how humble you are.

[@giaphonganh5297]

Ive felt really inspired these days by your ideas, content and your way of sharing them. Its like, idk which word describes it the best, but there has been something very.. genuine since i watched your first video. Thanks a lot.

[@birdsmit]

I absolutely loved your video. And I watch a lot of street photography videos. Keep inspiring people as you inspired me.

[@ChristopherDrinkard]

Great video bro! Definitely picked up a couple new tips! Subscribed! 😊

[@RT8473]

Love your works and tips 👍

[@DanJFly]

Fantastic Video, I have stumbled across a couple of your videos in the past but this one made me hit that Subscribe button. I really enjoyed the flip book idea, as many other people did too looking at the comments. Thanks for a great video and a clear demonstration of what you were speaking about, really helped.

[@chasingvenusfilmarts]

Fifteen seconds in and you know it's good content. Bravo. Great job.

[@brunorodrigues733]

Well done! Great hints.

[@benbeattie4609]

This really is one of the best, most informative lessons on KZbin concerning street photography! So superbly succinct - which in truth reveals your tremendous understanding and natural talent.

[@johnkraemer5505]

I enjoyed your video! Thank you! I subscribed! Keep up the great work! 😎👍🏻

[@coleb7644]

always rewatching ur videos man and I totally think having a flip book portfolio is awesome I’m gonna get one now

[@navdham1639]

Great straight to the point video mate. Genuine

[@kennethhouston4838]

Great tips man. I really like the idea of the flip book to hand to people who may be wondering what you're up to. Keep up the good work.

[@solojetset]

You are amazing! thanks for the tips! following you now!

[@The1985JAM]

Wow, this was so helpful. Thank you

[@joachim6637]

Great video! Love the portfolio book!!!

[@ShandytheAce22]

Great video man!!! I really loved your take on creating for oneself and not for Instagram/social media. Street photography, heck any type of photography can be daunting, but there's a reason why we love it and want to take photos. It's such a beautiful form of expression and with channels like this, channels that encourage and inspire, it just brings more beauty and light to the art of photography.

[@mcuna42]

I love the mini photo book! What an excellent idea. I also love the trick about not lowering your camera immediately. Definitely going to try that.

[@l.k.9459]

Wow, these are truly amazing points. Thanks a lot!!

[@edwinjansen6729]

Thank you Faizal, great tips and calm voice and no background sound that i have to lower de tv 👍👍👍👍

[@thingscomeinblackandwhite]

awesome street photographs & tips! thanks 👍🙂

[@aigoonamjril]

thank you so much!

[@10Outta10Baby]

Great video, great advice, keep it up.

[@gurns681]

Some great points. like the photobook idea!

[@benjaminannabelle506]

Your videos make this street photography seem so inviting to try. You are an inspiration!

[@NishantSamant19]

Pretty useful tips! Especially the one where you suggested to continue looking in the viewfinder even after the person has passed. Very clever!

[@mmn910]

I watch a lot of photography videos on KZbin and this may be some of the best advice I've ever come across

[@eveanddell]

This video came up on my feed because I was researching the X100F- I have to say this is probably the most thoughtful and helpful out of all the content I've seen for people starting out in street photography- and to tell people not to do it for social media is gold. I can't wait to see more of your stuff and start getting back in photography again.

[@akarshkmurthy]

Loved it bro! Made me think different.

[@vinimorone]

amazing work, such a great inspiration!

[@billyricalde7757]

Love your tips bro. Nice shots 🔥

[@terregarob]

Excellent video, great content, keep it up.

[@fredmichaud4157]

Thanks to share man! You are really interesting and agreeable to listen! I like your photos too! It helps me a lot.

[@maysenst.germain4418]

Faizal homie this is so so good!!! You killed this

[@philmarmoling]

Create for your self! Love that..

[@jameswalker9472]

I love this video, watched it a few times over the past few months, very inspiring, thank you sir

[@LuisMcote5]

Hi, i´m new to your channel, this is the first video i watch and i´m really loving it. You transmit a nice energy man. Really nice photo (the one in the subway with the two people and the wires)!

[@bijoyghosh1918]

I'm glad that I found this channel! ❤️

[@darpaolo]

Trying to go back to photography and this vid along with your other vids are huge help. Thank you!

[@oakiedokie1535]

I really love the subway photo well done! You inspired me Thank you!

[@aer0724]

Good job. Love the mini photo book idea.

[@Bmoreira629]

I bought a x100f last year because I love street photography, the feeling of capture the moment and the vibe of the place, is amaizing! Keep up with good work, subscribed your channel!

[@JohnChubbSr]

Excellent advice!!! The Port Folio is a fantastic idea!!!

[@jeffjoycephotography]

Wow. Great tip about the small portfolio book. Thanks

[@dennisvanmierlo]

Hi Faizal, Thank you for your very inspiring video. You make me see to get out more with my camera and make photos I love. I love your style on how you approach this. Lot’s of greetings, Dennis 🇳🇱

[@yeaboy707]

Awsome video. Flipbook idea was cool, but also great tips.

[@Azidust]

im very happy i watched your video it the most honest ,stright forward tips and very motivating ( you the book idea is so cool ) thank you.

[@rjohnbernales]

Great tips. Thanks Faizal 🙏

[@roasty80]

Confidence is everything

[@epii07]

Love the small photobook folio. I think it's more legit showing people your interest around the streets with your camera. Love the content brother! 👌

[@pierrezapata90]

This type of video is why i subbed. Great tips and really great photos. That train photo was incredible. I wouldn't have second guessed it. But showing those details made it even better

[@shotzsmith4854]

Alot of the tips and ideas you gave are so original that I have never seen before Thanks for the Subscribed your channel keep up the good work

[@nicholasgartell5374]

Some really good advice; really useful tips. I've hit the subscribe button!

[@kitther]

Great video. Genuine and helpful producer!

[@streetphotography.globetro7744]

Great pictures and video, congrats !!!!

[@boblee7844]

I am very impressed with your clear explanations, suggestions and smooth style of verbal and comfortable viewing into the camera, as if you are speaking directly to each viewer. You are not loud and “in your face” but apparently are “comfortable in your own skin” and don’t need to pretend to be someone else. These qualities are very impressive! Taking an in-person street photography class taught by you would increase everyone’s skills b/c you appear to be a calm and patient teacher. These are not ramblings but pure observations. /thanks very much. I

[@horaciomillan4181]

Great tips, thank you!

[@themoolag]

These tips are awesome. The flipbook is genius.

[@vidhidoshi1014]

I love how real this guy is. He is out here really telling you how its not easy for him too and really trying to connect rather than just the cliche "be confident". Instantly subscribed and would love to see and learn more.
