A day around liverpool into the dark of night of the last Friday before the Christmas holidays, always a time of year of interesting people, and can get quite interesting. I hope you enjoy this mono style!

That's the best thing that has ever been posted on RUclips - just brilliant. It's not a photography vlog - it's a very high quality short film. Brilliant
My goodness Kevin that’s very kind! I’ll take that sir. Thank you 🙏
Great job Mali. I loved it! I gotta admit, I could never do that kind of photography. I go out photographing to get away from people!! But these shots are fantastic. I hope you do more of this.
Very kind thank you, 🙏
Really pleased you weren’t on your own.
The world is full of people who know loads of stuff but in reality they don’t even know who they are😂
Brilliant photography as usual.
Well done Mr Gough for his part and backing you up
Thanks very much Keith, so glad you enjoyed it 👍
Belting. I know you must have at least another 50 or so images you could have shown too. Cracking day and night. 👍👍
What a night buddy!! Thanks again for being cool as feck, making some classy video! Look forward to our next adventure! Its my turn to film you next time 😍👍
What wonderful photos. People will look at these in another 100yrs and see what we were like in 2024.
From start to finish that was class Pal!! The soundtrack was spot on, the spot focus was pitch perfect and the documentary style filing was nothing short of magical !! Ohh and to have it all in mono was sublime !! Loved it ! Bravo to GG too 👏👏
So very kind thanks good pal! 😍👍
Fantastic video Mali, great production and soundtrack.
Thank you 👍
And in a nutshell, that is why i shy away from giving Street Photography a try, Brilliant Mali, and how you kept your cool is beyond me, handling that confrontation so well. Some great images too.
Thanks Andrew, eye it was a bonkers night on the streets. Great fun though
Mali & Gary doing outreach work for the insane. Cracking shots and video work. A word from the wise, well when I have spoken to him! Happy Nights.
Haha thanks Iain 👍
They are super photographs, every credit for doing that on what is known as Black Eye Friday in the North east of England. I've only did street photography once in a smaller city up here, with a female associate, we both got challenged a few times and there was some hostility too - that was on an afternoon, god knows that it would have been like when the alcohol is flowing!
Thanks so much Steve and thank you for watching 👍
Brilliant video and photos Mali and Gary 👏👏👍
Liverpool in Black & White fantastic, excellent mini Documentary.
Big thanks
He was a typical muppet, who thinks he knows it all. Fantastic video and shots. Si thee
Thank you for watching and eye very true, sithee 😁👍
Good honest, organic capture of a city just being a city. Love it
Huge thank you, 🙏
What I love is that these may be ordinary sights to some people, but when you don't live in the area, it makes it so much more interesting to see the people and street scenes.
Hey Mali, what a great watch but also brought back memories of a night in Birmingham I had about 18mths ago. This time of year, with the early dark nights & mornings, I used to go into Brum ,I live in the midlands, or up to Liverpool as I work in Warrington for some street photography. The last venture into Brum at night to take some tram shots & general street stuff I got threatened by a drunk guy, who I had noticed following me in the distance. After setting up my tripod, out of the way of pedestrians in a quiet corner, he suddenly appeared right in front of me. Calling me a pervert, paedo & other names, saying I was taking pics of women. I showed him the back of camera but it was a no good, he was after fight & said if I did't leave he'd smash my face in. I've never packed away my gear so quick while trying to calm the situation down. The 15 min walk back to the car, looking over my shoulder felt like ages. Suppose partly my naivety for going alone at night was a poor choice. Not been back on the streets since.
Great vlog and well done to you and Gary for the restraint you both showed. 👏
Outstanding images Mali, even the wife sat down and watched it with me. That plonker is either brave or brainless for picking on big Mal with Mr "Goliath" Gough in tow! Superb content as always.
Big thanks Phil, proper made me chuckle! And made up you both watched, I’ll take that, huge compliment. 😁😍👍
Some.proper cracking shots and beautifully produced vlog too.
Thank you so much 👍
Great images Mali, on the rare occasions I have done any street photography I have usually found people to be interested in what I am doing and quite positive towards it provided you are open and friendly with them and show them the results. Every village has its idiot though 🤪 well handled and hats off to Gary riding shotgun 👍
Thank so much for watching and taking the time to comment, very appreciated
Blimey Mali you like to live dangerously, what a video right to the raw core of people. Great choice with going monochrome, superb
Hello Les, thanks so much for watching. Made up you enjoyed it 😁👍
Mali, a great video with some stunning shots. You got to feel sorry for the stupid security guy! Stupid is like being dead, when you are dead you don't know your dead, it is only painful for the people around you. Being stupid is the same.
Love your work. Great video, Sir ❤
Jo! Thank you 😍 hope your very top lady!? So glad you enjoyed it 👍
there is always 1 Great video. and a great follow up from Garys awesome photos man !!
Thank you 👍
I stupidly got into it once with someone, but I was technically wrong because it wasn't a public space, it was a little strip mall which is private property. It was one of the first times I tried photographing people and I was trying to figure out my settings and how I should do it, and the subject was a guy who may have had a mental impediment and was playing the trumpet. Another man saw me looking at him and holding my camera, and trying to stay out of sight because I wanted it to be a candid shot. The other man was staring at me and I gave him an attitude. Another part of the equation is I'm a white woman and this was a mexican-american area of town, so they guy was wondering who I worked for. I ended up apologizing for my stupid attitude, and I learned a few things that day. Don't insist on my rights as a photographer, (even though I wasn't in the right that day anyway), be friendly with people, and I'm willing to erase my photo if it really bothers them. And also, have more confidence and don't try to hide what I'm doing. That's probably what got me in trouble that day, besides my stupid attitude.
You learn from mistakes, don’t worry, at the end of the day for me personally it’s documenting something or making a piece of art. Thanks so much for watching.
Great mix. 5.45 is great and love the smile at 6.20 ish. Oh at 13.15. And the sax player. (Well done Gary). May occasional collaborations continue 👏 👏
Thank you Martin 😍👍
Great work Mali 👏🏼Loved the filming and edit and a great set of images to conclude, really captured the vibes 🙌🏼
Thank you Jen, so glad you enjoyed it. 😍
as we say in the Black country, "Bostin" thanks for sharing your adventure in my favourite city
It's fun being around happy people :)
Wow you pulled all the stops out there Mali, I just hope all the other street photographers on here watch this video they might learn something! Like any other big city Liverpool is not the easiest place to do street photography some days are ok but other days there is always some mad crackpot lefty ready for confrontation. The amount of good candids really did show how well you knew your skills in this episode, if ever there is a situation where you need to forward your work to anybody then this is the episode to show them. Credit must go to Gary too for the filming of this blog. I think you handled the incident really well, and it maybe good training if you ever visit Glasgow on a Friday night! Well done Mali and Gary....
Hge comment Des, one I will keep in mind, I'm bound to agree because its very kind what your saying! I'll send them your way for a ref as well, once again, big thanks Des, all your comments and continued watching.
Excellent as always 👋👋👋👍
Thank you very much 👍
Loved watching your 2 street photography videos. You captured the time and atmosphere to a tee!
Mali, you are a star, (and Garry's not too bad either :) )
Thank you Andrew 😁👍
Fab vlog, loved the fact that it was all done in black n’ white, it was very documentary looking, that bloke wasn’t really aware of the street photography code of practice; you don’t disrespect another photographer.
Excellent images and loved the feel of this vlog, music pictures were cracking mate!🫶
Thanks so much Paul 😍👍
Brilliant love it. Can’t believe the bloke giving you a hard time, as others have said there’s always 1. Fantastic video and huge credit for standing your ground and carrying on it would have ruined me 👍📷👌
Hooked from the intro. Fair play to Gary for the videography. What a fecking sideboard that lad was. Some great street images. Loved the one's at 5.47 and 7.40.
Thanks Ade very kind really glad you enjoyed it 👍
Brilliant video,great images,and yes,always has to be that one guy! The filming in black and white really worked for this video!
Thanks very much Neil 👍
What a fantastic mini documentary and the idea to do filming and photos in monochrome was absolutely brilliant, shout-out to gary gough for filming, well done both 👌👏👏
Thank you very much 👍
What a great video. Totally love your energy man and totally love the energy in all these shots you made. It's obvious the people knew you were out having fun and didn't mind you one bit. Maybe you can talk about this attitude/approach in an upcoming podcast? Cheers, d
Thanks Dennis, that’s a great idea for the podcast 👍 very kind words and very appreciated
@@MaliDaviesPhotography well it's true you know. So many of us go out to shoot fun stuff but intimidation gets in our way. A positive attitude and then similar response by subjects seems to go a long way and once rolling it's like endorphins keep pushing you forward - but often getting that movement started is tough. I wonder if having Gary with you was a driving force? I tend to be more outgoing if I have 'backup' as it were, lol. Or are you typically that energetic on your own? Anyway, I really have been enjoying the podcasts of late.
@dennislee8253 thanks for the podcast listens that’s very appreciated as it’s so niche. I love making those and I’ve got a really good one to come this weekend.
It’s a good question about company, in street terms it doesn’t make much difference, I just love to be out with the camera and to meet people can be interesting even if they are confrontational. Usually they have a good chat. I’ve got a couple of video where I’m out on my own but not finished editing them. I think in street photography it’s good to have company to share the excitement! Getting a shot or seeing shadows and light play or a situation open up. It would seem though that I do get quite animated and the more you do it the easier it gets. I’m definitely going to record an inbetween episode about this and give you a mention, it’s a great idea and subject to talk about 👍 stay well take care.
Fantastic images Mali👌….& what a first class🛎. that tool is.🤦♂😂👍
I am no street photographer but i really enjoyed that, despite the muppet and i dont mean Gary. Liked the images gave a real sense of the atmosphere as the evening went on, great work, hope your well, take care.
Very kind Lee, thank you! Hope your very well and getting out and about with the camera 😍👍
I love night time street photography. Great video Mali.
Cheers Jeff, it’s a great time to wander with the camera. Big thanks to
Always been interested in giving Street photography a go, this is a perfect example of why I've never taken that leap. Well done to both you and Gary for showing constraint and putting together a cracking video with brilliant photos to match.
Thanks very much for watching
Great film Mali - caught the atmosphere really well!
Thank you so much Andrew 👍
Love that video and the b+w images are excellent.
Thank you very much Darren.
All I can say is WOW! What a joy to watch and listen to. Production is absolutely perfect, the mix of motion and stills is superb, and just the right amount of narrative blending with in nicely with in-situ chat. Credit due to you - fabulous work! New sub obvs! Keep 'em comin'!
A huge kind comment! Thank you very much, very kind. New video out tonight 😍👍
I will await my alert!@@MaliDaviesPhotography
Great set of shots with a beautiful look to them, Mali.
Thank you David, thanks means a lot, it is always about the photography 🙏
Great video. Great pics. Nikon looks 🔥
Big thanks 🙏
Nice video and photos. I really like that everything was in B&W
Thank you 🙏
Mali man! Love the big bolloxs and I mean BIIIIGGGG you have some proper good style about you. Thank you dude.
Haha thanks man! Thanks for watching 👍
Hi Mali a fantastic vlog showing the ignorance of some security guards. I had a similar experience when photographing the Manchester Christmas Markets. I was stopped by a security guard and asked if I'd got a licence to take photos of people. I told him I didn't need a licence as I was in a public place but he kept telling me I couldn't carry on without a licence. I told him I'd leave (which I did) and moved to another part of the market in a different area. I emailed the security company and explained that they needed to educate their staff regarding the laws of street photography and I received a half-hearted apology 🤔 I also posted about my encounter on one of the Street Photography groups on Facebook and I received a few replies with links to documents that explain the laws so I'll have them printed off ready for next time I'm stopped. That aside you got some fantastic images. Bold St is one of my favourite locations but I'll keep an eye out for that 🍆 😊
Fantastic as always, Gary did a great job and I hope you picked up some good skills from him. 😁😁 Your pics weren't bad either to be fair 🤣 I'm not sure I would have been as polite to the idiot as you were so well done for the restraint 👏. Sithee 😁
Haha Gary did very well lol Thank you 👍
Nice one Mali:)
Thank you Steven
Great video Mali, the idea to shoot in black and white was inspirational. You captured Liverpool perfectly, nutters, drunks and for the most part just regular people having a good time. I was in Liverpool at the beginning of November after being away for many years (I now live in Canada), throughly enjoyed walking the streets with my camera. Keep up the good work mate. Cheers!!
Thanks so much Alan 👍
What an adventure!
Thank you 👍
I have been Threatened, Chased, Intimidated, None of that was enjoyable BUT, I still shoot (after 55 yrs of photography) when I want to!!! GOOD, ON YOU TWO :) :) :)
Brilliant!
My kind of video, is this. Lovely job! 👍 🔥
Big thanks Simon, so glad you enjoyed it
I've still got a Df at the top of my street photography wish list.
This is a really captivating, classy film. Really enjoyed it. Obviously, it was Gary's camera skills wot done it ;-)
Haha thanks so much for watching.
What a tool! Unfortunately that takes me back to pretty much every weekend out and about in Liverpool. No marks like that (or more accurately skid marks), with no intellect and big opinions could have ruined the night completely. Glad you both rode out the rough elements and ended up enjoying the crazy diversity of my home town. Great images, and I think mono was an inspired artistic choice 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks very much for watching Izzy, eye some blurt letting it down for the rest. Stay well 😍👍
So glad RUclips algorithms lead me here, great vid cheers and just added you on insta too, love Liverpool for street photography especially this time of year when it's dark early and the lights are shining, the sober crowds are about shopping and the night time crowd start to arrive... leave it too late and it's a bit of a gamble if you're going to be accosted by a helmet like you did 😂
Well there’s a first for everything with the RUclips Al! Thank you very much for watching and checking out my images. I make quite a mixed variety so hope you enjoy that. 😍👍
Nice one Mali..... you had a good assistant that day 👍🏻 very brave to get out on Mad Friday 🤣 I'm too old for that 😂😂😂 cracking street photography as always 👍🏻
Very kind thanks very much Darren 😍👍
Cracking cinematic feel to this one Mali and great images too and hats off to you and Gary for keeping it chilled despite the nugget making a pure backside of himself. Probably upset that his girlfriend was punctured and had to take it out on someone 😉
Thanks very much 👍 haha there’s always one!
Great content Mali.
Thank you 🙏
Great visuals as usual. The edit with the choice of music, theme etc all gelled together. Scousers! What can I say 😂 You’ve got a great skill and confidence to bring out the characters on the street. It’s only a matter of time when you’ll get that Meyerowitz type classic shot
Haha eye, thanks very much spud for your kind words and watching, always means a lot to have you tune in. As for Joel I’ll take that at anytime in my life!
Enjoyed that Mali, a look around my home town where I haven't been for the past 21yrs. Still get the odd idiot in town aye, never mind, you and Gary handled it well. All the best from NZ.
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to drop me your message. 👍
Great film and great images. I shoot mostly wildlife, but love to dabble in street photography every now and then. I'll definitely be watching some more. Out of interest who is the artist featured at the end of the film, when the stills images are playing? Siri isn't being very helpful tonight.
I moved from Liverpool to New Zealand and never get this kind of confrontation as a street photographer, I don't miss Liverpool one bit I never felt safe as a photographer in Liverpool. Thanks for sharing anyway
Thanks very much for watching
Hey Mali, really loved this one, so good on so many levels,and the video work from Mr G was not too bad either.Firstly stunning images, secondly amazing camera hoping to get one when Nikon Canada get more in stock, and finally great professionalism dealing with the plonker. Great work from both of you.
Hey hey, John, thank you very much for all your kind words and continued support and watching 😍👍 very kind. Stay well and keep shooting! You will not be disappointed with the Zf I’m missing it massively!
@@MaliDaviesPhotographyThanks Mate
I bet you two big lads where so scared😂😂
Great vlog mali and your Apprentice 😂👍👊💪
Haha 😂thanks very much Brian
Mali: I loved this! Great tack sharp images! Would love to know the average ISO you used and if you had to use Denoise software! I just got a Nikon Z-8 and I’m loving it! I love all your work and you are hanging out with a true master!!! Thanks for taking me along!
Thank you so much for watching. Now a surprising fact about the images, most are black and white straight out of camera and no added denoise. I was shooting a lot wide open at f2.8 or f1.8 1/400 of a second at iso 1600 sometimes higher. It did hurt to give the camera back. I loved it!
Great video and photo results. What lenses do you use ? Wide angle and crop in post or a variable zoom lens ?
Thank you for watching. In this video, I use a 28mm f2.8 and a 50mm f1.8 z mount. 👍
Great as always! The black and white filming was fantastic !! What lens did you use on the Zf?
Thank you very much for watching. I used the 28mm f2.8 and the 50mm f1.8 great combination.
@@MaliDaviesPhotography ok thanks 🙏🏾 the photos are awesome 👍🏾
Brilliant video Mali. I love the vibe you captured - made me feel like I was there with you. What is the song you used in the video about 3 minutes in? I loved it.
Thank you very much, I’ll have a look what the song is, I also love that one.
@@MaliDaviesPhotography thank you!
Great photos, do you shoot black and white in camera or convert in software after?
Thanks so much for watching. On this occasion using the new Nikon Zf I shot Raw and Jpeg mono straight out the camera, 90% of these images I ended up using the mono jpegs. Rare for me to do that, but the quality was superb for black and white.
As you say, alcohol has a lot to answer for. It is strange how many define their lives by drinking far to much and decending into this aggresive strange world, day in day out.
I am based near Liverpool, no body took any notice about 3 years ago. But now you get hassle on the streets, I had to stop a model shoot due to idiots…
Eye a lot has changed with peoples attitudes. Just ignore them and carry on, or grab a copper. I spoke to the police that night, lovely conversation with them. Next time I would have a very different approach for that idiot.
Belter 👍
Cheers John
Awesome shots. It is amazing when you get candid shots of people. The story telling is incredible. My only issue is when people get indignant like the "muppet" did for you. Have you ever had anyone really go off on you?
Yes I’ve had some aggressive faces and F bombs but I just keep walking. Thanks so much for watching and your kind words
Spunky McFlute would have been told to piss off by me for carrying on that long. You answered his question politely but he wouldn't let it go.
Hahaha Spunky did get told to do the shithead shuffle 😁 thanks for watching
@@MaliDaviesPhotography great images by the way mate.
@@davidellinsworth3299thank you
Great images, Just you don't love it when security knows more about the law and photography than two photographers ;)
Go on educate me, because I think you might be the security guard lmfao
I’ve been shooting Street Photography for around 10 years and though I’ve had a couple of people moan etc I’ve never had any real hassle or arguments, when I do it’s usually from some jobsworth Security trying to tell me the law that he actually knows nothing about.
Great video Mali, keep them coming mate.
P.S. What do you think of the ZF, have you used it for any landscape work?
Thanks very much for watching as always, very appreciated especially when it’s away from the landscapes. Ha he was security well he dressed like that! The Zf I didn’t want to give back and I feel would be fine for landscapes, I want the camera but sadly Nikon took it back lol 😂 looking to buy one as a second shooter from my Z7 but think it could take over as my main camera. I won’t be for some time till I can do that. Thanks again Brian, sithee
Crackin film guys, and many great photos too! Cheers. Whats with inflatable lips these days, lol..
Haha 😛 thanks very much for watching
Music is hypnotic and suits the video so well. Who was it by the way?
Sorry about replying to my own comment but I think I was only a third or so through when I asked the question about the music. Just got to the end and I have to say that this is one of the best street photography videos I have seen in a long while. It was truly a joy to watch. I came via Gary Gough's channel as I usually like landscape but I am now a convert. Subscribed.
Thank you so much! That means a lot.
Hello Chris, I will have to go back and see if I can find the artists names. I used three different songs by different people. Thanks so much for watching
Excellent video as usual Mali and a shout out to Gary for doing the filming.
As you say there is always some dick who spoils it.
What a muppet.
Great images as usual mate.
Thank you very much
Some absolute crackin' shots there. Particularly like the one at 13:41. Modern romance, both staring longingly into a take away box (at least it wasn't their phones). Personally I'd be more scared of the woman at 14:35 than the usual gobshite muppet you always bump into. She looks like she could turn you inside out.
I had the 'Security Guard' treatment outside a Comicon at a conference center in the late summer; I told her politely but assertively that she was talking mince, she walked away.
Hehe talking mince like it! Yea you’re right about those images she was more of a threat than anyone until I spoke to her and she was lovely. Thank so much for watching Iain 👍
That guy was an absolute muppet Mali. Strangely, I get very little hassle filming vlogs around clubs & pubs at night. Taking stills photography, however, is a different story. I think it's probably because I am more obvious.
"Black Eye Friday" we call it Mali.
Thanks for watching Alan
Back to forest Mali…..
One coming soon 😍👍
And people think their image isn’t captured numerous times a day when they walk down a street, enter any shop or pubs. Some people love to be a bell end.
Brilliant! really enjoyed it even the idiot.
Thank you 👍
The photos are absolutely brilliant. Do you have a video on legality of shooting in public? Didn't the GDPR rules made it more difficult?
If you're in a public space you can photograph. Period. People in a public space can have no expectation of privacy. You can take photos of most things but some buildings you cannot photograph for monetary gain as they are copyrighted. I believe this to be correct. @malidaviesphotography correct me if I'm wrong.
@@terryrees8574 so I have this problem during events where I do photos for the organiser (I'm not a pro just doing some charity a favour) where the charity then told me some people contacted them and did not wish to be in the photos and then we have to look through each photo for those people and that's time-consuming. I wonder what are the best practices for that.
I have a Canon 90d. Would this be ok for street photography?
Yea no doubt, but you would have to adapt alittle. Focusing speed, size and weight of camera. The nifty 50mm for canon is a cracker of a lens and would make the setup alittle more discreet. Any camera will work for street, just shoot to the limitations and have fun.
@MaliDaviesPhotography Thanks, I'm just pricing them now.
@KPP365 I thought you meant you already own one? I’d go with a smaller camera, or do you mean the lens? MPB all the way for a nifty 50
@MaliDaviesPhotography Sorry, yes, I have a Canon 90d but only have a Zoom lens for wildlife. I do have the Sigma 17-400 as well as the Sigma 150-600mm
@KPP365 aah cool, yea a smaller lens may help and get you used to moving your body than zoom. But to be frank, the 17-400 would work. The snobbery around what should be used is rife, try your sigma and see how you get on. I personally just prefer a prime 28 35 or 50mm but have a go with what you have 👍 good luck and have fun
Next Mad Friday, I will come with you and see if they mind a woman taking photos of women....oh please, take me with you next time!!!!
we call it 'black eye Friday' 🤕
Do you have to have the subjects permission to use their images, is it on American sites like shutterstock you have too? just asking because I'm not clear.
I don’t use stock sites or sell my street photography images so I don’t need a photo release, as I would working for a corporate business.
You're crazy for not calling the cops on him , cos he was no security guy .
Security don't roam the streets , they're designated to a particular building , and neither do they hide their cameras . Like you say he was just a fookin idiot disrupting peoples enjoyment , but you did miss an opportunity there , you could have had him arrested .
I don't think photographing people in Liverpool or Glasgow is a good idea! Last time I did it in Glasgow I was physically threatened by a very annoyed drug addict who chased me. Not the best way to look after your gear. Fortunately I managed to give him the slip. The point is some of these drugs can give them a boost, try running at our age! All you need is someone to grab or dislodge your camera or lens. A bad idea! Dangerous, is it worth it? NO! The "security retard" was a seriously tricky situation.
I’ll photograph anywhere, at the end of the day, most people are ok and if not they will eventually walk away. This guy bored me and there are police around, we spoke to them not long before this numpty came on the scene.
Yes you handled it well, there is a high chance that some nutter will damage your camera gear. I remember street photography 40 years ago, I got chatting to some of the homeless and even sent a copy of one image to a post office as the guys didn't have an address of their own. Great stuff. But recently, very dangerous due to spice! Take care mate.
@@derekgillan7314thank you Derek, the same to you, stay well and take care.
