A week of film photography in Hokkaido, Japan.

[@markpinchuk9490]

I really like how you decided to focus on the story of the trip, and used your photography to tell that story. After all, the story is what counts. The more story is in your photo, the longer people will linger around. Great job on this video.

[@teocrawford]

So happy to hear your appreciation on this, thank you!☺️🫶🏼

[@markpinchuk9490]

@@teocrawford Of course. You make extremely high quality content. Keep it up. I do some photography and filmmaking myself, but I'm a bit anxious to start a channel 😅

[@jonathanmauldin8801]

Actually obsessed with the colors and the boldness that the expired film brings to these photos!! Brings such a surreal quality.

[@aimyeu]

Your voice and visual vision are so fascinating. Brings me back memories from Hokkaido -:).

[@ehname1]

The last two exposures are magnificent, but I also actually really like the two guys on the train at 20:49. For me the white jacket doesn't take away from the composition, but instead compliments the the brightness outside the window.

[@mgy2877]

Your channel really sticks out to me as a photography channel since finding it around the time you had 49.5K subs. It inspired me a lot to do more films and ideas I don't usually take photos of. And finding new things like that. Including experimenting more with the real vintage cameras my Grandpa gave me. Keep going strong, great job on this video. ✌🏻

[@eliasbreuer4624]

Your videos got me into photography and inspired me to go out there and capture the world, thank you for that

[@dinoreno_5047]

14:19 i really enjoyed this particular photo!! the colours of the houses really contrasted with the mountains on the upper half of the photo. seemingly drawing a line between the built and unbuilt

[@ReimannPembroke]

This was an amazing video Teo! I really liked the way you shot and edited the footage to transition between different sections of the trip. My favorite photos are the ones of the train seats at 19:54 & 20:21, the one of the store at 23:54, and the landscape with the rock at 25:39. I love how much atmosphere the train seat photos have and the rich warm tones in all the photos look really really nice with the light you captured them in!

[@rinabrown1954]

I'm so glad you visited my hometown! You shot and edited the videos in Hokkaido, that's amazing!! I really enjoy watching it. I currently live in New Zealand, I hope you will visit !!

[@teocrawford]

Ohhh cool, where are you from? Which town/city do you mean?😍 Thank you!☺️ Ohhh New Zealand is lovely, but I don’t know when I‘ll make it there - hopefully one day :)

[@pastelxloky]

7:01 the two towers right in the middle of the photo brings another interesting element! it's very light but still brounght mye eye's attention. Beautiful picture !

[@mariojsworld]

Hokkaido looks amazing.

[@jonathanwamble9340]

you really capture that moody Hokkaido winter! We live a little south of Sapporo and love seeing the clouds and forests. good stuff!

[@Sppizza]

Great video! I really like both the picture and the calm narration.. Keep it going!

[@ChauPham-b4i]

Your voice is so interesting and your film color is great to tell stories.

[@ivanasancort]

it's the first time i am early!! omg, thanks for your videos!! They inspire me a lot.

[@teocrawford]

Ohhh amazing!😍 Thank you so much, I‘m happy you can connect with these videos!🥹🫶🏼

[@danna8265]

Beautiful photos! Your work is so inspiring to me😊 I love watching your videos and using different techniques that I learn from you :)

[@teocrawford]

Aww that’s so cool, thank you!🥹🙏🏼

[@boglarkakato295]

Your work is so inspiring to me! I’ve had a rough time with my photography journey as I’ve been at home with my baby girl who is 1,5 y old now. I’m slowly getting back and finally had time to drop off a few rolls of film to develop yesterday. Can’t wait to see the “comeback” results! As you say I’m also focusing on the process and not stressing much on the outcome just enjoying my time! Btw I’ll just start playing one of your videos when she can’t really fall asleep. Your voice works 99% of the time! 👌🏻😁

[@teocrawford]

Ohhh how exciting. I‘m glad you’re finding your way back and hope you had some fun in the process☺️ Hahaha that’s so sweet🥹🙌🏼

[@ArelyNavarro]

Which film did you use? 8:32 I love this shot 🎉

[@sebastianfichtner1876]

I spent 2.5 weeks in Japan in 2019...and want to go back ever since! Your video really reminded me of how beautiful and interesting this country is!

[@834ym]

Hi, I'm Japanese and I'm from Hokkaido. I enjoyed your video😊 thanks for your visit and cool video.

[@etnes10]

Very nice video. Planning to visit Japan somewhere in the future and I think you are brining the vibe of Japan very well.

[@teocrawford]

Ohh cool, glad you‘re enjoying it!☺️ Hope you make it some time!🙌🏼

[@BluntWizz]

Love your videos Teo! Love the thoughts and insights!

[@teocrawford]

Aww thanks, glad you enjoyed it!☺️🙌🏼

[@itsatmar]

Your videos are therapy

[@teocrawford]

Aww thanks!🥹

[@alexthornton9236]

Photo at 22.07 is a banger! Nice vid Teo :-)

[@yayaba730]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I had a trip in Hokkaido 2 month ago,too. And I tried to do film photography, however my cameras were frozen ! I was even not finish one roll 😂 Pentax LX and Olympus Pen FT

[@ArchiesLens]

Lovely photos! I’m currently traveling in Japan such a great place to take photos🌸✨

[@teocrawford]

Thank you!☺️ Ohhh you too!? Cool!😍 Yes it really is🥹🙌🏼

[@ArchiesLens]

@@teocrawford yes! I’m currently in Kyoto I’ll be sharing a little photo walk soon. So awesome seeing and exploring different areas of Japan as well😄 hope you have a great rest of your trip!

[@ArchiesLens]

@@teocrawford yes! Went to Tokyo and Kyoto. It was my first time in Kyoto and I fell in love with the place.

[@KillerTacos54]

Beautiful!

[@sellyulsa]

So beautiful Teo !

[@teocrawford]

Aww thank you!🥹🫶🏼

[@Havenotats]

Lovely video brother ❤

[@teocrawford]

Thanks Tats!🥹🫶🏼

[@gm8584]

It's a real pleasure watching your videos. I love not knowing if the scene currently being shown on video will turn into an awesome photo. Soon I will raid my parents attic for my dad's k1000 and begin my photography journey. Keep up the good work man! ps, do you think adding a cheap clip-on macro lens to an iPhone would work for digitising negatives? I don't own a dslr..

[@teocrawford]

Aww thank you!

[@husseinmardini]

Insane

[@hegiraghazi]

Amazing photos man. By the way I have a question, have you ever used the sunny 16 rule to meter photos like these on the k1000 or do you just use the light meter app on your phone?

[@markpinchuk9490]

Unless your light meter is broken, or you don't have a phone to meter with, you probably shouldn't be using sunny 16. It's sort of a last resort sort of deal.

[@teocrawford]

I‘ve never tried sunny 16😅 I always use the app🙌🏼

[@hegiraghazi]

@@teocrawford Ah i see, thanks for the response man 🙏

[@hegiraghazi]

@@markpinchuk9490 Yeah i guess that’s reasonable, but thanks for the advice 🙏

[@spencerxox350]

Man how you edit so dreamy photos can you please give us tutorial i love you works... i have been watching you from 1 years

[@teocrawford]

I actually have a couple tutorials on my Patreon :D But also I don’t want to pressure you to join!🙏🏼 - Basically you need to keep the contrast a bit low, soften the shot and have your colours rather saturated🙌🏼

[@pedestriantactics]

I would love to know what music you used in this, especially the beginning track

[@dansuzukiphotography]

Great, I've been collecting photos of Japanese windows (full of stuff) for years. It is a really interesting aspect of Japanese housing. 📸🙌🏼

[@teocrawford]

Ohhh you too hahah? Yes it truly is, it’s funny to know that I‘m not the only one who found this interesting☺️🙌🏼

[@dansuzukiphotography]

@@teocrawford it all starts with the infamous mail boxes...haha

[@weisserth]

Hey, an easy fix for your under-exposure issues with bright (=snow), or backlit scenes is to use the dedicated lever on the bottom of the XA. It's for that purpose.

[@teocrawford]

Ahhh true!! I didn’t know though at the time of shooting, that the snow confuses the light meter that much. I had already rated the iso a good bit lower, so I thought it‘d be fine haha. I‘ll try to think of that next time :)

[@nikonopp]

Sehr nices Video, viele gute Shots! Ich war gestern in Narai-Juku und ich glaub das könnte auch eine interessante Location für ein Video sein ... vorallem wenn du am Morgen herkommst wenn noch keine Touristen da sind

[@teocrawford]

Du bist auch in Japan!?😵 cool! Ohh danke für den Tipp, da schau ich gleich online was das für eine Gegend ist☺️🙌🏼

[@themrgumbatron]

Do you use luts for your video? loving the tone of your videos.

[@teocrawford]

I base my colour grading off of a basic orange and teal lut that I set to 50%, the rest I do myself☺️🙌🏼 Glad you like it, thanks🫶🏼

Thank you!☺️ Yesss🙌🏼

@@teocrawford if you come in tokyo let me take you to some photo spots 😊

[@korn6632]

hey, where do u usually buy your films?

[@teocrawford]

All over the place haha - recently I've been looking up little camera shops in the small Japanese towns that I visit and buy a couple rolls from them if they're not too expensive. Actually they usually were much cheaper than the shops in central Tokyo. In Austria it's more or less the same, I don't really have one spot, but just impulsively buy some film if I find some for a decent price.

[@tomgao7574]

How much cost to shot film compare shot with digital camera?

[@Darkest_Soul_187]

Some shots were great, some were really boring, but a nice video overall.

[@shee.taa.]

I am always wondering, if you sometimes ask people before you take a photo of them or are you always doing it kind of secretly and casual, as it if were normal? (insbesondere bei dem jungen mit dem smiley t-shirt im zug. es sieht nicht ganz unauffällig aus. ich würde mich leider nicht trauen trotz guter szenen)

[@teocrawford]

“Heimlich und casual” trifft es ganz gut eigentlich. Ich will ja einen echten Moment einfangen, was mit Ansprechen nicht funktionieren würde. Aber ich bin da ganz bei dir - ich traue mich auch oft nicht. Wenn ich mich immer trauen würde, dann hätte ich dreimal so viele Bilder von Leuten😅 Der im Smiley Shirt hat längere Zeit genau wie im Bild nach unten geblickt, deswegen war’s recht einfach. Ich verhalte mich zudem meist so als würde ich einfach den Zug (oder die Szenerie vor mir) fotografieren und nicht die Person🤷🏻‍♂️ Besonders das Bild im Zug als wir am Meer entlang gefahren sind, in dem ich ja viele Leute fotografiert habe, hat lange Zeit auf sich warten lassen. Ich hab das Bild gesehen und einfach mal vermerkt und länger auf den richtigen Zeitpunkt gewartet🙌🏼

[@shee.taa.]

@@teocrawford Das dachte ich mir schon fast, weil es sonst kein natürlicher Moment mehr wäre. Dann muss ich wohl üben mit dem heimlich und casual sein, nicht zu sehr daran denken, dass andere mich vielleicht blöd ansprechen, obwohl ich mir vorstellen kann, es könnte vorkommen in manchen Situationen hier in Deutschland. Vielen Dank für deine Antwort :)
