Love the blending of b-roll shots that build atmosphere and give a stronger context to the GoPro footage. Combined with soft music and narration, it really sets the mood.
I randomly came across your channel a week ago, and I don't know much about photography but I like the journey you take us on capturing each photo. Really amazing. I feel the videos bring me comfort.
Teo your vision was always so inspiring, I always love how you explore photography as art and part of your life. Its the vision of appreciation little things and just seeking for beauty in everything.
Thanks Teo. Tokyo is just endlessly fascinating, at once ugly and beautiful. You capture that so well for me. Particularly loved the girl on the bridge with the umbrella and the whale/ foot on the trolley.
A year later after I watched this video, I’m now in Japan for the first time. I’ve been looking forward to taking photos like these since I saw it, and now I’m having a hard time not taking photos(I know, very touristy), everything in Tokyo is just so god darn intriguing and absolutely perfect for street photography.
Beside that these are great impressions of a nightwalk and wonderful compositions with lovely details, I am really impressed by the colors. It´s not easy to have saturated colors like that in night-time-photography.
I love your videos! They show the true creativity of humanity in an era of perpetual spiralling towards ai; there is something in taking a photo of a dynamic world - like the ones you take - that are just so eye opening
It is so interesting to me that you seem to feel more comfortable composing horizontal images while for me I almost always gravitate to vertical compositions. I find it very hard to compose horizontally and to arrange elements in a pleasing relation to each other. Super relaxing video, thank you!
Oh wow really? In that case we are complete opposites then, because I struggle with vertical compositions. I would argue that horizontal feels more natural to me seeing as I perceive the human vision to be in a horizontal view🤔 Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you!☺️🙏🏼
True that should make it inherently more intuitive to me🤔 I feel like layering is easier to achieve as in a vertical image the eye automatically tends to go from the bottom (or front layer) to the top (or background layer). To me it is easier to fill a vertical frame and my horizontal images often have a lot of unwanted negative space. I would really like a camera that has vertical as the default position like some 645 mf cameras do
you're such an adorable creature. not to mention your video/photo style is so idk, it just speaks to me. i cried a few times in this video for some reason. anyways glad i found your channel..i haven't been into photography since i was like..12. now i want whatever camera you have lmao
I genuinely love your videos and that’s why i’m sorry to disturb all the serious atmosphere but, and I really have nothing weird or special about hands, your hands are so pretty ㅠㅠ that’s all I really love your videos, I’m kind of of new to photography so I’m really thankful for this whole playlist
been binging your content the last week or so, and i'm slowly (not completely) becoming more accepting of keeping photos that aren't completely in-focus. keep up the awesome work, Teo.
I love how your photos that work vs the ones that don't seem to me to be all about how they make you feel. Its inspiring me to think a little differently about my next photo walk :-) Great work Teo, keep them coming
Nice calm video with some decent photos. I am amazed how quiet the streets are despite being in a big city. At least that's the impression I got from the video
Thanks!☺️ Quiet in terms of sound or busyness? The main roads are actually pretty loud especially when the road is wet, but for a better listening experience I always mix those clips at a much lower volume👍🏼 However many of the streets I was exploring here were indeed very quiet🤔
@@teocrawford in terms of sound. Except the cars , I didn't listen to other loud noises which is a very calming experience. Although might be the fact that you lowered the volume as you say . I don't know 😅
Nice shooting, Teo. The GX handles night photos like a pro - what ISO were you at? I'm thinking of getting a GX85 soon. Being in Japan have you heard of the store Hard Off? It's a store that resells old electronic and such, including cameras. And from what I've heard the prices are insanely cheap (compared to USA/EU)
Ahhh I think there's a misunderstaning! :,( Firstly I totally forgot that the horrible red focus assist light was on and secondly it's very normal in Japan that people hastily hop out of someone's photo if they notice, that they're in frame. They think their disturbing the shot and so they run out of frame and apologise. So I think that is kind of what was going on here - I really do hope I didn't mistakenly scare her.
How I missed watching your videos and in Japan, wow! As always, I love your photos! 3 shots caught my attention very much, the one with the night guard, the one with the empty hall way, kinda reminds me of a horror movie (haha please let me still comment on your videos) and the whale. Those are great! You never disappoint. Good job!
I tried to look at his camera screen and although on most picture you can't really tell, he seems to be using the Lumix 20mm f1.7 pancake lens, shooting in manual mode, 1.7 aperture (makes sense, it was dark), shutter speed somewhere around anywhere from 13 to 80 depending on how much light there is, and ISO set in a range between 400 to 800 from what I could tell. I think unless you use a tripod, with M43 cameras it really helps to have in-body stabilization to help gather more light without the shot becoming blurry, allowing for slightly longer exposures, including hand-held. Hope this helps and correct me if I'm wrong !
Muss immer an Blade Runner denken, wo Deckard auf dem Markt seine Nudelsuppe genießt.Schöne Fotos. Ich wohne in der Natur, da kann man leider nicht so geile Neon Fotos machen.
Hallo Teo, ich hätte eine Frage bezüglich des Sterneneffekts bei Straßenlampen, ich mag eher ein natürlicheres Licht ohne den Sterneneffekt, machst du das mit einer offeneren Blende und Nachbearbeitung? Oder reine offene Blende? Schöne Grüße aus Deutschland
So glad to have stumbled upon your channel! Would be possible to add the camera settings in the video too alongside the final image? It would be super helpful for a beginner like me T.T
10:04 oh nice another photographer out for a night photo walk. I don't remember coming across another photographer out and about in normal, non-touristy setting either by myself or in a YT video. Did you guys have a little chat?
Ahhh glad you enjoyed, thank you!🙏🏼🥹 No, the intro was done with my main video camera - Sony A7iii. I don’t really like the Lumix’s video quality too much. It’s usable, but the Sony is significantly better👍🏼
@@teocrawford ah right! Cheers for the reply and keep up the good work mate. The gx80 content has been invaluable for me (and a lot of others it seems) since I'm still deciding on a good pick to start out on. For the price on the used market its probably unbeatable but I think fuji might have just about lured me away 😵💫
Do you adjust your settings for every shot or do you just set your "night mode" regular settings then shot around ?( might be a dumb question I am a beginner haha)
Do you ever face trouble while taking pictures of strangers, because it seems like you're not asking every single one of them before clicking, which isn't possible too. That I think is the main issue with street photography, people make objections, since not everyone is comfortable being taken pictures of.
Even in the USA you don't have the right of privacy in public places. As soon as you leave your house anyone can film you without asking for permission and use it as is fit. You still can ask for compensation in case that people use the image or video to make you look bad.
日本ってこんな素敵だったんだと、思わせてくれるビデオ。Does anyone know what camera is used for video (not only this clip but also others)? Is it GoPro8 as shown in the description?
Depends on what you're looking for. How much do you value video capabilities? Which lens ecosystem has options that you're interested in? Which controls feel more natural to you? Do you need good IBIS? How important is autofocus performance to you? They're both good cameras and neither are flat out better than the other.
Actually I don't think so haha. It's very typical for Japanese people, that when they notice they're standing in someone's picture they'll quickly rush out of frame and apologise for being a disturbance in the photograph :)
I guess it’s a combination of keeping the settings in place and the fact that Tokyo is pretty bright. So concerning the settings, I mostly shoot at f/1.7 which allows me to shoot at iso 200 or sometimes 400. However I basically never go over 400 because that just won’t look good. And then I go with pretty slow shutters to get some brightness. So anything slower than 1/60th usually works for me. The Lumix’s stabilisation is crazy good so you can easily shoot 1/15 hand held. But as you saw I also go much slower for some shots that I want to have blurry. Lastly keep in mind that your RAW digital photos basically always look bad… that’s the nature of digital photography - I bring out a lot of the dynamic range and overall brightness and colour in the editing process in Lightroom👍🏼
No, that was recorded with the Sony A7iii - sadly the Lumix's video capabilities are not as good as I'd like it to be. It's ok, but the Sony is just so much better so for recording video I just make use of that :)
Ahhh I don't know anymore and I don't have it saved anymore, but I'm pretty sure I found it in the genre 1980s Pop... hope that can lead you into the right direction.
Hi Yuki! The intro stuff I made for this video got a base colour grading with Lumetri Color and then I used Dehancer to add a little bit of bloom (with impact only set to somewhere around 35 I think), a little bit of halation (with the settings either at default or a little less) and lastly some grain with the amount set way lower to I think 5🙌🏼✨
@@teocrawford thanks so much! one last question. do you intend to use the film print of that plugin in the foreseeable future too (such as the kodak 2383 film print)?
What? At first I just thought I completely didn't notice, but I just watched it again and it doesn't really appear like that to me? What makes you think that?
@@teocrawford the red light in her face and the fact that she start runing faster ... but that could be for the strong wind, either way a red light in her face its not so fun you think ?
@@nachoupe Ohh yeah no totally agree on the red light not being great - that was actually a mistake and surprised me in that moment. I don’t know whether I can turn it off except by focussing manual🤔 But I felt like it didn’t bother her so I was kind of relieved. I think the walking is very typical in Japan because the people are used to everyone shooting (the Japanese love cameras) and assume that they’re in the way of my picture. I often had that haha that my subject thought they’re in the way of whatever I wanted to shoot😅
Oh lord, the AF light from that photo at 2:54 gave me such anxiety. 😂
I think it's why she sped up.
same here yikes
LOL it was def sketch a little.. or at least looked scetch
it was really disgusting of him to do that

this was the perfect video to watch during my lunch break at work. the meditative music, the voiceover, the great photos, everything!
Will forever be in love with how Teo says "anime."
His pronunciation was pretty spot on
Haha what? How else is it pronounced? I didn’t really think about it🤔
That's usually the way we German speakers say it :D

Beside that these are great impressions of a nightwalk and wonderful compositions with lovely details, I am really impressed by the colors. It´s not easy to have saturated colors like that in night-time-photography.
I love this style of video! Hearing your thought process and description of the photos are very intriguing and satisfying.

Aww that‘s lovely to read, thank you so much!🥹🙏🏼
I am loving this sweet little camera! The real unique sights in Japan are in the quieter lanes off the main colourful big streets
Gosh yes it’s so fun!🤩
Ahh indeed, that’s why I enjoy strolling around rather randomly - no better place to get lost than in Tokyo :D
Your street photography consistently leaves me inspired and in awe of the world we live in. Keep up the fantastic work!
The shot in 11:30 made me so happy
I spent a lot of time in Akihabara when I visited Japan and really wish I took more photos.

Haha amazing! Panasonic really needs to sponsor me👀😂
Thank you, Teo, I really had good time joining your walk, savouring every photo.
Beaaaautiful introduction. The map, the writing sound effect, the rise.. perfect.
Loving your Japan videos. I also took a lot of photos while moving to capture blur when I was last in Tokyo.

Hi Teo.
I liked the pictures you took at:

07:45
09:45

A worthwhile stroll around Tokyo at night.
I have the same camera and a few lenses, but the Panasonic 20mm 1.7 is sweeeet, love seeing your work with the same setup!
Lumix gx80 was my very first camera. Still love how versatile it was
Saaame!🤩
it was also good to give the shooting characteristics in both automatic and manual

Hi Teo! love the colour grading on these - wondering if this was done in-camera through film simulations or in post? thank you!
Thank you! Sadly my camera doesn’t do film simulations so this is all done in Lightroom☺️
The voice.... wow....👍
Hey teo what do you think a fair price is in 2023 for this camera im thinking of buying one !

Do you adjust your settings for every shot or do you just set your "night mode" regular settings then shot around ?( might be a dumb question I am a beginner haha)
🙏
Curious, how do you meter for spontaneous shots like these? Do you throw your camera into full auto or do you try and manually control some settings?
great video!

@@teocrawford 😇🙌
are the photos raw or are they edited? im looking at buying this camera and was interested!
What lens do you have on the gx80
How does your camera do so well in low light?? I have the same one and I can't get shots I want like yours!
I guess it’s a combination of keeping the settings in place and the fact that Tokyo is pretty bright. So concerning the settings, I mostly shoot at f/1.7 which allows me to shoot at iso 200 or sometimes 400. However I basically never go over 400 because that just won’t look good.

Lastly keep in mind that your RAW digital photos basically always look bad… that’s the nature of digital photography - I bring out a lot of the dynamic range and overall brightness and colour in the editing process in Lightroom👍🏼
what is your optique ?
Aye, what lens
I was wondering at night do you shoot all your pictures in manual mode or do you use aperture priority?
Yes, I always shoot in all manual :)
is the filming in the beginning done with the gx80?
No, that was recorded with the Sony A7iii - sadly the Lumix's video capabilities are not as good as I'd like it to be. It's ok, but the Sony is just so much better so for recording video I just make use of that :)
what is the name of this type of photos?
Song name? I got epidemic sound but cant find the song 0:36
Ahhh I don't know anymore and I don't have it saved anymore, but I'm pretty sure I found it in the genre 1980s Pop... hope that can lead you into the right direction.
Thank you!!!@@teocrawford
did u edit the photos?
I shoot RAW which is a file format specifically intended for editing, so yes, I always edit my photos to get a certain look🙌🏼✨
