Three Days of Photography in Porto, Portugal

[@Gio-lu8fk]

Since I'm early I would like to take this opportunity and say that you are one of the reasons that made me start photography couple months ago, you cant even imagine how much your content has inspired me and what pleasure it gives me to watch your vids after work...

[@chocomusette]

Same! I got into photography because of faizal and i’ve tried to gate keep his content 😅

[@FaizalWestcott]

Love you

[@basuramanya]

Can third this comment. Love your work.

[@matsefcik]

Also that bird that landed on the railing was absolutely a paid actor, for anyone wondering

[@yeohi]

Post the model release.

[@FaizalWestcott]

I was on a 15 kill streak and called it in

[@adamkocka-patchik4545]

I've really noticed a lot of growth in your work the last few months. Your work has always been great but I feel you're creating a body of work that is more well rounded and tells more about a scene.

[@FaizalWestcott]

Ah, that's very kind of you to say!

[@rogerbrooksfilms]

One of the most engaging and enjoyable videos/films that I’ve seen. That soundtrack blended perfectly with the stills and audio. Great work man.

[@FaizalWestcott]

Appreciate the love

[@JohanKhoo]

Love Porto - amazing place for photography, food, wine and just hanging out.

[@hugotavares1410]

Your video made me feel more in love with Porto, where I’ve been living for 2 years now, and I believe I did not captured a tenth of the city you were able to do in only 3 days. It’s night and it’s raining outside but after watching this, I can’t wait to go out with my camera and absorb this city the same spectacular way you guys did! What an amazing video! Thank you for sharing your art and your moments here. 👏

[@Koda6599]

I've been looking forward to this one since I saw your Instagram posts and it did not disappoint. You guys killed it.

[@illkoncept]

Loved that sequence of photographs to end the video. Made a great grand finale!

[@FaizalWestcott]

Thanks Mike! We got to do a trip soon

[@uwetrenkner9716]

I’ve been in NewYork, London, Berlin, Vienna, Venice, Lucca, Newport and a lot more. Nothing compares to Porto. Thank you for having me as a guest last year.

[@shanestorozukphotography]

absolutely gorgeous captures by all three of you lads.

[@cesarcarracedo6049]

Nice video! I love Porto and I sincerely think you manage to capture and trasmit the spirit and the idiosyncrasy of that fascinating portuguese city. Congrats!

[@sofianorim8249]

Ever since the Lisbon video I’ve been waiting for you to visit Porto I’m glad you enjoyed our city and amazing photos and video!

[@marioshoots]

Great photos! Always a pleasure watching your vids and also music selection always on point

[@Dan_photo]

What a city. You’ve done a great job documenting it. Loved the images and the video. ❤

[@Filtergrade]

So magical. Love to see how you captured Porto!!

[@FaizalWestcott]

Thanks Mike!

[@carolwatts944]

Always so much fun & enlightening to see what you photo, Faizal. Truly appreciate your work. Makes me anxious to get out there again. 😊

[@neklamp2431]

Let the man enjoy Europe, Portugal, Porto! Beautiful video, the last part with the slideshow was amazing, the music was very fitting!

[@henrybobb]

Nice to see you walking around Porto and see how you photographed it. ❤ I’ve been to Porto many times in the past for business but I never had the time to really visit the city. This summer I decided to go there with my family and I spent almost 10 days shooting tons of pictures … what a beautiful city!

[@MarcKleen]

Great video and amazing shots Faizal. I was in Porto this summer too and on one foggy morning I definitely made the best shots of the whole trip.

[@mendesvideo]

After watching this video, Porto is definitely on my bucket list. Great shots.

[@Chum_chumi]

I moved to Porto 5 years ago. Porto made me fall in love with photography. Magical city.

[@Draconis8888]

Nice to see a photo walk. Thanks for taking us along! It was absolutely beautiful.

[@mariojunior4910]

I live in Porto and I really loved this “short film” of my city. Great job!

[@marioumazul]

As a Porto citizen, it's wonderful to see people enjoying and loving our city as much as we do. Porto is truly a magical place, and you’ve captured its essence beautifully! Well done! Amazing pictures and amazing video! Next time you're in Porto, let me know-I'd be happy to show you around! Cheers!

[@FaizalWestcott]

Means a lot coming from a local :D

[@juli_von.perponcher4672]

this video makes me want to visit Porto sooo bad! love your shots :)

[@ScRyX]

The photos from all three are absolute fire🔥

[@saraalves9425]

you made me fall in love with my city again, thank you

[@costa2136]

I loved to watch my city through your eyes. Hope you liked us and I wish you come back sooner than later!

[@JJCYouKnowMe]

This was absolutely spellbinding, in every facet. Amazing work!

[@chrishuang7655]

It was absolutely stunning! Goosebumps

[@miguelgomes6849]

6:48 and 6:52 are so amazing great frames

[@iainmacdonald7034]

Superb, Faizal. Thank you. Brought back great memories from being there early last year.

[@terrydear4038]

Agree with you. In early June I spent a week in Porto and found it amazing to photograph. Very atmospheric at times and changing constantly with the light. Great shots and lovely video - bought back some treasured memories - thanks!

[@vinimorone]

My gorgeous city! It would be an absolute thrill to shoot with you next time you’re in town!

[@MiscellanyTop]

Hi. I don't like urban areas and, consequently, am not a street-photographer. But I am a photographer and I am writing this to say how much I enjoyed your excellent street photography. You took a great deal more than I thought about but, often, when I thought "Capture that!" you did. My favourite example is the human shadows against the red (canvas?) background - and many, many more. Great work, thank you.

[@АнастасияИванова-ы6ъ]

always watch your videos before my walk with the camera for inspiration!

[@ruicosta8268]

My home town, hope you enjoyed.

[@FaizalWestcott]

I LOVED IT

[@pauloduarte5359]

Fantástica cidade para fotografar e fantásticas fotografias. Obrigado e parabéns.

[@TheCheswick]

Gorgeous work fellas!

[@Film.Stories]

Your best video. Great moments & images, perfect soundtrack

[@Karabob82]

Such a beautiful video!

[@brianhinesley]

fun video faizal! always entertaining to watch

[@jordansmith4353]

This breathes life into the artform

[@j012cl4n]

My family is from Portugal, however I was born in the states. At 32, I finally elf the U.S and visited the Azores, a group of Portuguese islands far off the coast of the mainland. My mom was born there. This upcoming year, I plan to visit Porto, stay in a hostel and just go and eat pastel de natas and take lots of beautiful photos. I could cry looking at this city, i want it to be my home someday

[@wilfs1196]

Been there, done that, great city ! Did the Douro riverboat cruise to Spanish border & back. Walked across the bridge, took the cable car down to a great open air market ! Going back to southern Portugal in early 2025!

[@marccusph]

great heaving you here guys! pretty nice clicks

[@josepimenta3116]

Welcome to Porto, my city! Beautiful video and beautiful photos of places where I and many other Porto natives have photographed so many times and without getting tired. I'm sure Faizal was caught by someone. I'll try to find out.

[@SolOtis]

This video is so beautiful. I need to go. Your story telling is so good.

[@VitorDiGranja]

i wish i could have meet you. im from porto and im a big fan of yours, thanks for enjoying so much our city and thanks for this awesome video!

[@stephenalkire590]

Love those Ricoh images. So much character. Has that film/digital look. Leica incredible obviously but love the Ricoh haha. I’ll just leave it at that 👀

[@yeohi]

What is a "film/digital look" ?

[@npage1028]

Really like these travel with friend videos. Discover some new places and new people for inspo

[@dafthead95]

Thanks for bringing us along

[@avdidit]

Trip for the books! Next stop... run back japan??

[@NotepadandLenses]

Love your black and white work.

[@wtr4397]

Thank you for this Faisal. We will be spending 5 days in Porto as part of our trip to Lisbon for 11 days. As usual, we always seem to stay in places that require more days. We leave 10/17. In Porto, we rented a condo just below the park you were standing in. The front door faces the park.

[@benbeattie4609]

Beautiful!

[@americosequeira8670]

Great video, great photos in a great and beautiful city. You need way more than 3 days to fully explore the photographic potential of Porto. And you still have the food, the wine, the architecture… So many things, and I’m not even from Porto I’m from Lisbon… :-)

[@andrewcroft2570]

Great vlog I go to Lisbon a lot doing street photography and visiting Porto next year. When was this filmed, please?

[@ChrisBrogan]

You're back! I missed you. :) Portugal is really magical. Have you also visited Lisbon? I went to ONLY Lisbon and I liked it, but had a few reservations, and wondered if you knew both. (Sorry, not really a photog question.)

[@photomonochrome]

I hope that your experience in my city will make you come back. Porto is undoubtedly a beautiful city in many ways and photographing in the morning, very early, with fog in the riverside area, is simply unique

[@robrockatansky5905]

Great work guys!

[@rosamariahernandezbaz8092]

We love Portugal and visit Porto frequently, It's always a verty good plan.

[@cheekyboop]

Fabulous video and images!

[@donho6523]

Excellent Video, I like Porto but; I Love Lisbon. I live in Madeira. Try here for landscapes sometime. I think you would enjoy it.

[@karlowma]

You guys all killed it 🔥

[@brettryan3298]

Looks like an incredible place to go.

[@hieppt]

Such admired work !

[@ryanmacnamara5919]

What a team. Really like the results

[@fabscams4136]

Wowowowoowoow - those shots are amazing

[@HMCDBT]

Once again, welcome back to Portugal 🇵🇹 😊

[@markrussell624]

beautiful video !

[@nopenope7350]

Just watched Widell's video in which he references you as an inspiration. Excellent stuff.

[@elliotresnick5433]

Loved the music!!

[@davidfriend5808]

Was just there for a month, such an inspiring place. I shot more that month than any other month of my life. Went to Jardim do Morro for sunset three times and it was a beautiful shared human experience. Came for the view but stayed for the RHCP cover band😂

[@emssasukeisunderrated7946]

I was just in Porto end of August (last month) and same! I’ve been listening to RHCP constantly since I’ve been back in the states 😂😂😂 they were also playing in other areas like in front of the McDonald’s

[@jonasvandermeiren]

What a good Sunday evening!

[@mrfilipesantos]

I love seeing people enjoying the cities in my country. We are small but we have a lot to give to the world. I hope you have the opportunity to travel more around Portugal. Visit the Gerês National Park.

[@MaxKhokhlov]

Lovely B&Ws mate!

[@mr2izm]

got me missing francesinha and pasteis de nata. lovely vid as usual

[@isreal9567]

What was the song played at the end? Really loved it

[@isreal9567]

Around 11:10

[@jakob_lr]

Loved the trip recap

[@ches298]

truly inspiring 🫂

[@georgebakken2882]

Love the vid as always! The music ruled. I went to the link and it gave me a dead end. Do you have the artist or song you could share? Thanks!

[@manieldoran]

Incredible video, loved it

[@ttobarrosshow]

So nice you been to my country once again

[@Schulz1392]

Nice video and city! Considering the M11, but the reported freezing issues are putting me off. Have you experienced this?

[@omar-pc5gf]

what a journey you guys had wow

[@Heechsnaps]

the bird shot is so perfect

[@SedmogJula10]

beautiful, i've just been in porto again

[@_rhapsodist]

Porto is by far the most amazing city I have ever been to. WHTGB!!!

[@hugosz1973]

U guys didn't go to São Bento Railway station???? What a miss 😅😅 next time...

[@namtaekkim1541]

Hello. I am a snapshot photographer. I watch your KZbin videos very well and they are very helpful. I realized that I want to have a tone and manner similar to my life beyond photos. Thank you for becoming my goal. Even the background music of the video has become my taste. I am amazed by the wonderful song selections. Can you tell me the title of the jazz music that starts at 6 minutes and 35 seconds? I really like it because it feels like a hopeful rhythm even in a relaxed mind. Thanks.

[@ChaunceyMahan]

what camera are you using for video ? and how are editing the footage it looks great.

[@Ndpurc]

Superb ! 👍

[@gluteusmaximus5094]

dude the pictures with the doves and the cat... this was insane.

[@carlosfigueiredo2713]

My country is amazing! Try Coimbra, Braga, Guimarães... next time. You ll be surprised.

[@Misterdavidc]

The music was 🔥

[@RS-Amsterdam]

Good video. Thanks for sharing

[@alfabravo80]

Faizal, were you shooting with a Canon 50 f2 lens near the end of the video? Did you need an adapter? Thank you for another great video.

[@joshliquet]

Beautiful place

[@切腹-h1u]
