Man, this one was so fun. ❤️ Love seeing you working with any camera, always has your voice to it.
Hey Matt, I see you and other photographers shut your mouths about BLM & all the black shooting deaths…
You should do a follow up, do some research, see if the death tolls are down since your boy Biden got into office for the black community.
Cause now you look like a bandwagon talking head joker throwing a opinion out & fading away on the issue afterwards.

LOL
Hahaaha

Seeing your work in a publication feels unreal. It makes me happy that you've gotten the opportunity to take on a challenge like that. I'm curious about your thoughts on shooting for a job vs shooting leisurely. Does stress or time crunch change the creative process? Negatively or even positively? Would be a great video topic.
It feels entirely different to begin with because of where the images are going and what they’re supposed to say :)
came for the clickbait, stayed because I know Willem is a great photographer and can create with whatever camera
Hahah thank you 🥰
I love that Willem is the ultimate proof that it's the photographer and not the camera 🙌🏻
Willem & Fujifilm is the perfect match
Willem is a national treasure. So is Taylor. And a lot of other people 😄
Yeah, a guy that has driven interest and demand in film photography and a company that continues to divest from film photography are the perfect match... Keep the sarcasm, if you find any. ;) No hard feelings by the way. I don't hate on Fuji. They're innovative and they gotta do what they gotta do.
The moment you get that dream camera from fujifilm is the moment you can say you made it! Congratulations Willem!!!! More power brother!
Great way to feature the camera and really showcase what it can do! Photos speak for themselves, the adapter a smart move and congrats on the assignments you nailed it
Found your Channel many years ago when i was looking how to make a zine. Been a fan ever since. Keep up the great work man!
its so cool to see you doing this type of work. so proud of what you’re doing, congrats!!
Beautiful shots! and I do agree with you on your take regarding the beauty of having slower process.
Dude! This is so exciting, I'm thrilled to see what you make with it! The adapted medium format lenses really make for spectacular results!
I remember when you picked up the Fujifilm xpro2 camera a while ago nice seeing you get into Fujifilm system again ! Also love seeing your work being published in the LA Times super inspiring 🖤
Bro those vids are chill, calming, and makes me learn much from them love them bro keep it up 💜.📸
Think its always great to be pragmatic when choosing your tools for a project. Also blending old with the new is always when things get interesting!
GFX100S is a beast. Will be fun to see what you'll snap with it.
Love the ‘on assignment’ nature of this man. Excellent work as always. I’ve owned the XT4 for some time and it’s such an amazing piece, but the GFX100s looks on another level altogether.
Congrats on your acquisition , and congrats on you LA TIMES gig. Been watching you for a while , you deserve all of this good luck and snap away.
Very cool photos, Willem! These projects turned out fantastic!!!
The long weekend strap on the fuji, best use of a shot in reverse! Love the work man you are such a treat to watch.
Yep, there is a time and place for both formats. Nice work and congrats on the projects. KB
There it is
Love the video Willem!!! My order of Sunny Side just arrived here in New Zealand, it's so awesome to see the prints in person
Well done, mate! The cameras, lenses, films and sensors are nothing but tools.
Thank you very much for your videos!
All the best.
Hi Willem , just got my copy of On The Sunny Side of The Street. Great work! Love how you have made images of “ordinary places” look so amazing by using the best light. Photography is really all about light. I’m a Bermudian photographer and shoot mainly film and really enjoy your videos. Thanks for the great book!
Congratulations on the gigs. Great work!!!
good lord, these stills are Beautiful. You have some of the best composition and color editing I have ever seen
Amazing composition + amazing digital camera = magic!
Great video as always!
ahhh these are so cool, congrats to the publication!
Congrats on the projects! Great work!!
Cool to see your photographic style translated onto the medium of digital photography!
Wow!!!!
I thought I was the only one that liked those apartment names. They are so cool and beautiful.
Imo digital photography in of itself is more fun to me because I get to create my own "film stocks", all sorts of different color grades and looks. It just seems endless and fun
muito legal, willem. and the dunes!!!! this building is almost a character on the show 'insecure' 💛
This video is pretty timely as I am also making the shift from film to digital for a bit. For me it comes down to cost. So I picked up a used fuji x100f and it has been nothing but a joy. Dope to see your work being published :)) love you and your videos 💕
I am now using a ricoh gr as a main camera instead of film :p its compact wich i liked about my fuji mji 1
Ive stuck with film because I know it and its way cheaper than digital
@@pilsplease7561 wait what?
LFG! Can't wait to see what you do with that monster camera!
Those projects turned out really well! Nice to see it helped you turn those around quickly.
The concept of the shift blew my mind! Thank you for sharing!
Nice shots, nice camera, and glad you shared your gig, but I couldn't help thinking how much nicer the shots would have been on film...
Definitely cool projects, congrats! IMO, your images turned out so good because of the lens & adapter that you used. Definitely made a huge difference in the final product!
Great job, I appreciate that you are sharing your passion with us the film world. I am considering on getting the Fujifilm 100s just for the getting the results right away.
It's so ironic seeing this video. I usually grab my film camera when running out, but this week I had to shoot some stuff for my work's social media. So I picked up my Fuji for the first time in probably a year, and I felt super guilty enjoying the fast turn around time!
After watching your video, I feel much better!
Welcome to my world of Fujifilm my friend... The GFX100s is my main camera fro all my commercial Fashion, Beauty & Advertising work. and the film simulations modes are so nice too. :)
As soon as I saw the lens on the camera I recognized the 67 lens and knew you had to had adapter in there. I just recently started using my 67 lens on my Sony body using an adapter too. Didn't realize that there would be no crop factor on the lens due to the focal length being in 35mm terms. Definitely interested in looking into a tilt shift one next. Didn't know how they worked but this video gave a good a example of how it works
Amazing work! Great to see how you capture commercial work.
You absolutely smashed both those projects dude. Getting those images in 45mins, insane.
The apartment building project was so cool I love the outcome of all the pics and the magazine!!!!!
Really loved to see your work with the NYT. You killed it
Love the timing, I just picked up a GFX 50R for myself!
I really like your channel, Willem. Great content!
Your photos are still incredible, film or digital. It's the same awesomeness
I am glad to see that you added some digital content. I enjoy your film work, but it doesn’t hurt to branch out.
living the dream, my man! all respect
While I love your videos, I can’t say anything about this video speaks how unique and amazing the gfx is. More like the reaction baseline digital camera features we’ve had for the past 15 years
the pictures and the scenes are beautiful! u just earned a subscriber.
Yes! I have my GFX 50R! And my RZ67 is still in the arsenal. GFX w/ adapted Mamiya 645 lenses for now. I'll get a pl-to-gfx adapter and really work it's magic!
I really like your compositions and the way you play with colors. To not see the filmgrain and the distinct colors of film in your photos is definitely not quite usual for your work but I am looking forward to see how you adapt your style to digital photography
Cool. Seeing some of the world through your work. Thanks
I absolutely love the workflow on my Fuji too.
Beautiful work, congrats!
I love this photography dude, great compositions
It’s funny you mention taking on gigs that need a faster turn around cuz I got a few gigs this past month that I ended up just doing on digital for that reason. I haven’t used my Sony in like two years and it almost felt like a new experience so it’s kind of a nice little break from what I’ve been used to. As always, great vid!
Sooo dope! Love to see it
Good work. Glad you have joined the Jedi's.
I’m also living in LA and never thought about apartment signs can here can be cool. Nice work 👍🏻📸
Would love to see your editing process!! Always love watching your videos
Beautiful work ☀️
Looking forward to seeing you work with the GFX for personal work.
„What a concept“ got me rolling 🤣
you're amazing man congrats! might pick up a new digital camera after years now finally lol
Congratulations 🎉🎉
Proud of you man!
Mann all in all everything about this is dop . But also shout out to the person who's shooting and edditing your volgs bro supper clean
Shoot what you love, love what you shoot
It seems many film photographers are slowly moving to GFX systems. It’s great ! GFX system is in continuation with film
I started with film cameras (Pentax 67, contax 645) few years ago. Never had a digital. In 2021 got myself gfx 50s and then gfx 100. GFX system is awesome choice for film photographers.
Im having fun to shoot with aero ektar 178mm 2.5 , SMC 105mm 2.4 with Kipon 0.7x , canon 85mm 1.2.
is the gfx system the same a for the x series?
That lens combo looks so wild
wait, imagine just shooting a text to fujifilm and they just ship you a camera, wtf??? Goals
I love the Fuji XT3 - feels like the closest digital camera to the analogue experience. Something about the metal and sturdy body too, the plastic in competitors just isn't the same.
Absolutely inspirational
God damn, a 100S for free!
Living my dream!
But if anyone deserves one, it's you for sure. You've always worked so hard and I'm glad your channel, along with your photography work, have been getting more attention.
Love the work!
Some beautiful photos man remindered me of walker evans and his view of signs in American :)
I love the work you’re getting for the LA Times! That’s fantastic, Willem. 🙏
Thank you very much Bob!
The first project reminds me of John Mark Davis and his book Fonts in Paradise where he goes all over Honolulu, Hawaii capturing the mid century style signs in the buildings there. Stunning work with such a nostalgic feel.
I’ll check it out!
@@WillemVerb I think you’ll love it! It’ll make you want to take a trip to Oahu just to shoot around town 🤙🏽
Thats a really nice free camera to get. Great shooting
Beautiful work
Just goes to show it’s not the camera… it’s the person behind it. These are all beautiful.
When you're in a position to just ask for one of THE MOST expensive digital cameras and get it sent for free... That influencer life!
so fucking wack. dude is a good photographer but I know dudes in my city with less then 2k followers that can produce far better images then this dude
Indeed
Lol, right? And imagine not even being the best or even decent photographer around.
@@Adrian-wd4rn I didn't say that. I enjoy Willem's work. I like his style and yes, certainly there is a certain saturation and lack of originality in the Americana motives, still I can't get enough of it when it's well executed. Willem delivers.
It’s literally the top of the line model from Fujifilm
This absolute legend
awesome projects mate
I love shooting film but I can't really afford it price per picture anyway so I picked up a second hand XT3 pretty cheap at a local store, it's a great wee camera and it has such a similar workflow to my canon and cosina that I can still work in the same method but not have to worry about bad shots or the cost of what is just a hobby that doesn't have any returns.
I love shooting with my Canon 1.8 50mm on the fuji, the glass has a real (crappy) vintage look to it and the experience of actual manual focusing (as opposed to autofocus lenses with motor driven manual focus) is super tactile.
A good exercise is to limit the number of photos in a session, so something remains of analog photography.
Anyway, your work is amazing. Thank you!
Greetings from Chile.
The 200mb raw files has that effect naturally lol
@@WillemVerb Woow!!
Also, you can add in forcing yourself NOT to look at the results until you get home.
Such a good idea. I’ve got to try that sometime lol. Intentionally take a small memory card and let that be my limit.
@@zomyjong I do that!
@@zomyjong I got three digital shots that are still in the camera. I’ll work on them this week. I like to think about the pictures I took without looking at them. I have a photographic memory.
I'm just pleased to have realised tilt/shift was involved before it was pointed out heheh. Simple pleasures etc.
And you released the video on the day of the Fuji summit too! 😊
Keep going w fuji 💪🏽💪🏽
It was nice to see your work out there for the general public to see. It will be interesting to see how much you embrace digital in the future.....it's just so freaky, fast and easy...but I DO still prefer the images from film....
Fuji gang! Vuh hype for this one
*cue film youtube exploding*
If you are going to switch from film to digital you should be shooting with a Hasselblad H series body with one of the digital backs that were made for that series. Best of both worlds. You can shoot on film with the H series film backs and can shoot on digital with the H series digital backs. Lastly an older used H series film camera with the backs would either be the same price or less than a new Fujifilm GFX100S, with the advantage of being able to use better medium format lenses than what Fuji offers.
If you're to dwelve further in the digital photography, I suggest you dig into what it allows you in comparison to film, such as dynamic subjects or extremely low light environments, for example. Then again, you can do some of that already with film, but only to a certain extent since it requires more preparation, and the digital captors are just unmatched. Obviously, as we've seen on your channel, it is not the film nor the camera that makes the photo but the photographer, but I think there is an opportunity here with digital to explore new arrays of photography that were simply difficult to because of film - although I agree: film is unique and it got that feeling!
