Almost done watching but I have to comment: For all you shooters starting out, take note... 15 years of doing the same gig before he hone his style. FIFTEEN YEARS. True professionals work at it hard! Thank you Greg for sharing this!
Yeah, that kind of perspective is so important. Many people who achieve success really have to graft at it for years. Williams has earned his place. Bit pissed off though, just got his book and whilst it’s fantastic, it’s missing a whole bunch of great images based on what I’ve seen in this video! Hopefully another book will be on its way.
I think that one of the most important things here, is trust. You can see it in every image here - they trust the photographer. The know that the image shown afterwards in public, is shown with respect for the photographed person. This is crucial. And that is why it takes time to be accepted.
Go Greg I could watch these commentaries all day long. You’re like the Gordon Ramsey of photo genius … 💪🏼💪🏼🎬🎥🇮🇹without the cursing 😂😂brilliant & timeless
Stumbled upon this and felt like I'd walked into a cool little club, where legends are just chatting about how they go about their work, and us mortals are just mesmerised by their openness and willingness to share. Gear is mentioned for the minimal time while connection with people and a true love for what you're shooting is where ninety-nine percent of your energy should be focused. The more we learn, the more we realise we don't know.
There are times where I’m frustrated with living in the technological age. But then there are times like this, where I get access to a hero of mine I never would’ve gotten outside of interviews and mentorships. Thank you for taking time out of your life to create these videos. They’re priceless and I’m so thankful for them. (And if you are doing any sort of mentorship programs, I’d love to partake). Thank you Greg!
Would be so interested to hear how the role of feedback has changed as you’ve become the trusted photographer that you are now. It sounds as if the shift in shooting style was in response to people’s comments - is this something you seek out?
The way you add such dynamism at 28mm focal length is a classic example of the old saying ‘if you want better photos get closer’. Question, do you take bursts when not using flash or is still one frame at a time?
Now, I don't want to ask a stupid question but why using a mechanical camera when the technique employed is in the style of Moriyama who notoriously uses AF cameras so not to look into the viewfinder....? NO sarcasm or irony here, it is just a photographer to photographer question... :)

Love your photographs, especially the candid ones! What was on that beautiful green plate though 😋
what a master class
Great, down to earth video from the most inspirational photographer. I’d love to see a settings video of using the Q cameras with the flash please
Follow your work since Casino Royale. Keep these fun insightful videos coming… btw do you shoot these pics with rangefocusing?

Greg - Your book won't be available until later this year???????
Ви чудовий фотограф! Вітання з України
Do you know how he focus? Manual? Auto?
I bet it's auto for this, the Leicas aren't very reliable autofocusers though
Now, I don't want to ask a stupid question but why using a mechanical camera when the technique employed is in the style of Moriyama who notoriously uses AF cameras so not to look into the viewfinder....? NO sarcasm or irony here, it is just a photographer to photographer question... :)
His camera has autofocus
