This is the first comment I've ever written on RUclips and I've been on RUclips since the beginning. I just had to tell you that this was a great video. I've been a commercial photographer for the last 15 years and I can say that while it's obvious you're considerably talented, you speak in a humble way and your content is accessible to both beginners and pros. Very well done bro!
I agree.. I’ve been shooting for about 4 years and I’ve NEVER shot at night. Always in a studio setting but, the way he came across has me really paying attention.
Ditto
Really appreciate your comment, thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you!
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Excellent advice. I travel to Tokyo almost weekly and I stay on west coast USA time. That means I'm up at 1 am. Out the door I go for night photography in Roppongi and Akasaka. The place changes drastically at night and is super safe, clean, and there are many places to grab a bite to eat. It's perfect, really.
That sounds like the absolute perfect place to shoot nights!
I love shooting in the night, especially if it's wet, as you mentioned, because of the limited light and the reflections. But until now mostly using a tripod and long shutter speeds. So you can let people disappear if you want. I think I will try to catch some magic moments without a tripod next time. Thanks for your inspiring video, even there were not many technical tips, but these were fundamental.😊👍
Huge thanks! 🙏🏼
Eren. Thank you so much for another excellent post. I'm a London night hawk, chasing the light. After 3 years, I'm finally gathering a collection of interesting images. I sometimes use the WR 56mm f/1.2, difficult it is, but when I get it right the images are lovely. What you post drives me on. So, please keep posting and I'll keep watching.
Really appreciate that, thank you. Love using the 56 for nights too
Great video, thank you so much. Re safety: I once took my OM-5 with an anamorphic lens to get some cool lens flare shots. No bag, just a 61 year old guy with a nice camera at 3:00am. I got 3 blocks into my walk, when I ran back to my hotel like crazy, as 3 druggies really liked my camera. Scary at the time, but hell funny now.
😅 gotta have a little bag to slip that camera into
Where did this happen?
@@woutvandesompele8310 Melbourne, Australia.
@@petermcginty3636but did you lose the camera?
@@ethicalrecordings Oh, no. That was not going to happen😂. Thanks for asking.
WOW! Your art is amazing. ❤
Love from Japan.
Awesome advice. Thank you. I can also highly recommend knee pads, like the ones tilers use. They are comfortable during low angle photography, and they keep the knees dry.
Great tip!
Okay, this is a great video, thank you. I too have been a professional photographer for more than 32 years. I enjoyed the excellant advice you shared, especially telling the story, dressing comfortably, and staying safe. Once again, thank you, and be well.
Thank you!
Wow. Your photos are stunning. Every one is a painting. Such moodiness. Thanks
Thanks Keith!
This is a beautiful video
🙏🏼 Thank you!
Really great tips but also - solid images, they really convey the sense of purpose and storytelling you have in shooting and image selection (the Triangle of Sadness pic - ace!)
🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank yoU!
I'm inspired now. Great tips & appreciated.😁
Awesome! Thank you!
The algorithm sent you my way. GODDAMN bro, those shots are PURE FIRE!! Subscribed!!!
Huge thanks! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Nice video. Thanks for the tips. I would add, do carry cheap gear in not so safe areas.
🙏🏼 thank you!
I'm new to photography and this video helped out alot. I've been shooting good portraits, daytime photos, nature photos etc. but I never really knew how to shoot at night. This will help out very much. Thank you.
Great set of tips and an inspiring collection of colorful moody shots. Thanks.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Good tips. I really liked your images. Well seen photo opportunities and then well photographed.
Thank you!
This was a great comprehensive video about the subject. ⭐️
‘Par excellence!’
edit. especially given how wonderful your photos were also here.
🙏🏼🙏🏼 huge thanks!
Useful and sensible tips. Just for shooting in the rain, I live in Marseille (France), notorious precisely for being a dry area. But I will be on the lookout.
Thank you!
Thank You for this very useful video 👏👍❤
Glad it was helpful! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great video! Should be in photography courses! Im excited to take these tips and use them practically, thank you
Great video. I love the tips you provided in this video
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Your photographs are lovely bloke. I would never shoot at night without friends. Cities can bring out the sketchiest of characters.
This is/was a great video! I’m in Nashville, Tenn for a lil vacay. Can’t wait to get out there at night. I’ve always known to keep the iso low at night, but imma try your trick and see what a lil noise does. Your numbers surprised me. Great video!
Perfect timing for a refresher. Off to Tokyo in a few days, and hoping for some rainy nights!
Hope you get some great shot! Enjoy the trip
Thanks so much. Loved your calm and peaceful style which is hard to find on social media. Great point about wearing comfortable clothing - I find that to be a critical component so I can actually concentrate on the photos.
I wanna do night photography. This was very inspiring.
Great content. Thank you for sharing❤
Thank you!
Great video and instructive. Love many of your shots. Unfortunately, I often found it difficult and distracting two great images side by side at one time. I wish you had displayed only a single image at a time, and for longer. It left me wanting more.
Thank you for this, I’ve been wanting to expand to night street photography. What you said about rain I also apply to landscape photography, to me it adds natural contrast and better color. I can see this being the same in the streets as well.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great tips and spectacular photos!
🙏🏼 Thank you!
So true about being dressed for weather. I was in D.C. and got caught in the rain. There were lots of opportunities for shots but I was wet, cold and my feet were soaked. I couldn't concentrate on taking good shots and missed an opportunity.
Yes! Have had similar experiences
Amazing video Eren! 🔥 Going to apply the tips definitely.
Thank you!
I agree what you wear is really important if your cold or your feet are hurting from walking cold mean you don’t end your photo walk 😮😊
Often not mentioned! but how you dress has a big impact on photography :D
I'm a big fan of Auto ISO during daytime. During nighttime, I like to slide my shutter speed dial (on my X-T5) to 60 or 125. My front command dial is set to toggle (with a quick press) between 1) moving my Exposure Compensation and 2) adjusting the chosen shutter speed up and down a bit. (For example, at 1/60 my front dial lets me vary it from 1/40 and 1/100).
So I can can get plenty of useful control just with that one front dial, allowing me to get shots quickly at the best exposure. (Of course, also adjusting my aperture ring separately as needed).
great tip!
Always been into early light or golden hour photography, you got me thinking! Great mood in your photos, Definately will get it to that space. Love the candid and loneliness aspect reflected in the shadows. Awesome!
🙏🏼🙏🏼 huge thanks
Very straight and simple narration! Nice tips.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Great tips for an eternally fascinating genre ...
🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you
What a quality of the video! So inspiring. Next time, insted talking about how to... could you do a kind of short film telling us some story? Grats!
Great idea!
Thanks- great video. Some top tips and a classy set of images and b-roll.
🙏🏼
Some great tips, thanks Eren! I love shooting at night, I wished I lived in a cooler area to shoot at night as my city is not the most interesting.... but it doesn't stop me from doing it anyway and I occasionally get some good shots too.
As long as YOU enjoy it and feel like you get good shots, that's all that matters :) I too wish I lived in a more interesting city, but I try to remind myself someone probably would move mountains to live where I live, so.. :)
Shooting in less interesting areas will make you a better photographer, shooting in NYC and Tokyo at night is easy mode :D
Your arguments regarding night photography are correct and perfectly presented. I practice it a lot myself and I love it. Thank you so much.
A clear keyword for night shooting "lonliness". That's it ! Thank you !
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm glad you mentioned that you should expose for the highlights of your scene. I was just about to say that none of your photos seem to have blown out whites.
Just discovered this channel and I loved the points you mentioned. I normally try to shoot after work. I remember 2 times where I tried shooting but I had to go home directly since it was too cold to walk and I wasn’t properly dressed. It’s so true that if you don’t meet those basic needs first, you can’t even focus on your art. Thanks for the video, it was inspiring.
Great tips, beautiful night work ! I’ve subscribed!
Huge thanks! 🙏🏼
Thank you. I love your work.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is an excellent video. These are good and useful tips. Thank you so much for sharing them.
Glad it was helpful! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Really excellent tips, especially the tip to dress warm... such an obvious thing, but one you may ignore! Keeping comfy means you’ll focus on taking pictures and not getting home where it’s warm. Thx!!!
100% , not often talked about but how you dress makes a huge diff!
Very helpful, great presentation. Crisp, clear, and to the point. Thanks
Thanks Jim!
Very good tips thanks brother
🙏🏼🙏🏼 thanks Martin!
Very inspiring video. Makes me want to go out at night and shoot more low-light photos and videos. Thanks for sharing energy!
Excellent tips. you have this video playing this footage
Awesome night shots and tips, thanks! 📷
Thank you!
Thanks for your tips. I practice the frist time last month with fine results. Also bought your presets and used them in LR. I used your presets for my mushroom photography too and they worked out great. Thanks a lot. Greetings from The Netherlands.
Huge thanks, appreciate the support! 🍄
Great video presentation, and really useful tips and ideas about night photography; I love your photos, it's always great to see London shots.
Night always scared me, but Im gonna try to use the light
Beautiful night shots!
🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you!
Great tips!! Like you, the night calls to me - there's nothing like a city at night. Urban nightscapes are my fav to shoot.
🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thanks Jasmine!

Really interesting and informative. Thank you I feel inspired to go city shooting at night !!
Love night street photography, your advices are good and your style very nice, thanks. And yes living in a big city with a rainy weather is a must. Where I live is a really small town and at the night, in the more safety streets, is lifeless. No interesting lights, non interesting peoples.
Thanks for the tips, will give it go in Tokyo tmr, btw, love you photos.
Great collection of night-time photos. Great tips as well.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Same as everyo9ne else. Great work!

Excellent as always 👍👍 am a fan
I have a Fujifilm XT-30 and I'm a little scared to shoot it in the rain? Do you use any covers or have some tipps for not getting your gear wet? Great video!
Eren, great tips, thx. Question? I’m headed to Truro and Falmouth down in Cornwall in late April. Have you done any street photography in that part of England?
I went once years ago when I was just geting into photography , loved it
Really great images! You are very talented.
🙏🏼 Thank you!
Useful video!
Another great vid Eren. I want to do a wire wool spinning shoot, any tips on setting for that? Thanks..:>
Beautiful work. 🙏
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great video! Will you do a video on how to achieve your look on video? Like what software you edit with, if you use LUTS etc
Will make an episode on video soon, all filmed in f-log and edited in Davinci / Final Cut
Great video Eren!
🙏🏼🙏🏼
