sick to see this side of photography on RUclips instead of the swathes of adventure, travel and lifestyle photography that seems to saturate RUclips. Nice one guys.
+NegativeFeedback can't wait! something like film photo 101 would be great! and have you considered filming one about your camera collection? I would find that very intriguing 😊📷
I really enjoy the aesthetic of this channel. It's nice to have you guys around. Keep up the great content and I look forward to what else you have in store! Cheers
So stoked to discover another channel dedicated to film photography. One quick suggestion we have for you guys is to insert photos whenever you discuss the colour/ texture of film. It could be difficult for noobs to follow or to have a clear picture of what you're trying to describe. We can't wait to see more videos made by you guys (and by Aslan! I've been following Estee's channel for a long time :D) Keep it up! ;)
Hello, my wife watches aslans gf in youtube and so glad to come across your channel. Finally something i can watch! I am an avid photography fan please keep posting and good luck! Cris
Its rather expensive but my favorite film I've ever used for street photography was Fujifilm Natura. Its 35mm only, 1600 iso, color, and I would recommend it for shooting at dusk in the city which is a lot of fun. I shot it with a RB67 with a adapter so it was a really tall sprocket exposure (that I ended up cropping). This was the result: mir-s3-cdn-cf.behance.net/project_modules/fs/4d719c33292495.571d5a09ae230.jpg
NegativeFeedback Its a little extra but at least the film is available online. I'm lucky because a film specializing camera shop near me is run by enthusiastic hipsters so it carries a huge selection of film, even has 35mm Aerochrome (my favorite film stock despite being very specialized).
I know nothing about photography, and the things you talk about are a bit like Chinese for me, but I enjoy your videos so much and the photos are just brilliant! Very glad to have subscribed
Happy to sub; Great to see camera action once again....good memories of my Canon(Forgotten which one !) with big zoom lenses which weighed a tonne!!!! As an artist I appreciated seeing Aslam looking to get good deep shadow with good bright light......Light & shade is the secret to exciting pictures= photoed or painted !
All due respect to the owner of the channel, he can use a large format camera, he can talk about film grain, he can change cameras once a month but the way the audience talk about him and his work you would think he is a young lee friedlander and he just isn’t. Perhaps I’m missing the point and to expect to see interesting photography come from a “content creator” on RUclips is unrealistic. Obviously with film being part of the youth culture interest in retro and analogue I can imagine thousands upon thousands of youngsters who get so attached to the idea of film and its link to what they see as making good work or to put it another way the idea that it is somehow worth more in an artistic sense. They are more concerned with the medium they are using than what they put in front of it. That said if there is an audience go for it, I think anyone who spends time to make videos to help people learn deserves a big pat on the back and that is the case here for sure. I stumbled across this channel when I saw an interview with Alec Soth and I think I got the wrong idea about the channel. That was a great interview by the way.
Fuck I love this series! This got me so excited for when I move to london the end of this year. Keen to walk the streets and take some shots. Keep up the awesome work! x
Hey Guys, nice vid: you said 'for some reason they appear', the cars in and around Knightsbridge/Mayfair come out every August-they are shipped over from Dubai/Saudi for the summer with the visiting owners. Its seems to be not as big anymore-this years deffo been a bit quieter as the Police and residents have been clamping down a bit.... :-)
I never understood why some people crave "fine grain" when shooting film? I'd understand back then, in the 90's..when people craved digital, they wanted a more 'perfect' image. But, now? For people coming back to film? Give me MOAR RAW GRAIN! The more the merrier :]
How do people in the street react to you taking photos of them if they notice you doing it? I take a lot of photos on the street but I find it hard to be confident enough to take photos of random people in the fear that they'll get angry or something..
My two worlds colliding! Can’t believe I’ve only just found this video of yours. Awesome stuff. (Proper term for these car fanatics is “car spotters” or “leapers” if you care lol)
Your visuals are great and so different, i can already see this channel and your recognition going beyond whats expected. Whats the instrumental by the way?
Is the print behind you with the pink smoke one of yours? Randomly had a very similar idea the other but nice to see it's been done. Would be keen to know the name of the photographer if possible. Thanks in advance!
I know Aslan from Estee's vlogs and didn't even realize he was such a skilled photographer! I swear the RUclips community is such a small world, feels like when I realized all of my friends in LA knew each other.
+jasper Huge difference! A place like boots uses a pretty low quality scanner and tends to get inaccuracy in the colours. They can also be a bit iffy with the negatives sometimes if they don't know exactly what they're doing. Pro lab scans are soooooo much better, especially at the higher end places that will even scan your images to your preference of contrast and tones.
Great video! I was wondering what software do you use to edit the video and do you use some sort of filter? Because the ambience and lighting is so nice
I do like this channel (and I don't even shoot film) but the music makes me feel really queasy, almost like a form of sea sickness, obviously it's just me but anyway, great videos
No offense, love your work, but I feel like the cinematography is better than the photos you're taking on most videos. If you want to be a photography channel, show more/better photographs.
This is a great example of how you could use an expensive "professional" camera yet take mediocre photographs. I guess it isn't always the equipment huh..
That's my complaint with this channel, it looks like a photography channel but seriously lacks real photography content. I don't think the target audience is actual photographers. Good for hipsters though!
No one takes great photos every single time they go out shooting. They even mentioned the problems they had in this situation. George has taken better photos in other videos, you can't be inspired all the time.
for some reason i don't like the asian dude.. every video he is in he just seems arrogant. like he's the kind of friend that everyone has who brags about everything, thinks he's the shit when he isn't just because he knows how to shoot film on a leica.. i like the videos but man idk about the asian dude.. his whole vibe in the videos kinda pisses me off lol

Thanks man!
I've subscribed based on how ridiculously clever the name of the channel is! :)
I get the weird feeling you probably do that a lot.
I know you're looking up..dont worry...the sarcasm is unreachable.
I'm loving these videos and was wondering if you'd make a video about how to get into film photography as a beginner?
You bet!
2nding this. Would love to also see your editing process
+NegativeFeedback can't wait! something like film photo 101 would be great! and have you considered filming one about your camera collection? I would find that very intriguing 😊📷
YES!
NegativeFeedback do u have an idea of when u would film this type of video?
I really enjoy the aesthetic of this channel. It's nice to have you guys around. Keep up the great content and I look forward to what else you have in store! Cheers
This was super rad! I'm just starting to get into film so this is especially neat! Also the cinematography in this is SO nice! Good work Alex!
+aflyingspacerocket Thank you! Hopefully we should be able to be some what informational to you... maybe...
+NegativeFeedback Haha, even just the inspiration to go out and shoot film is great!
The added grain in the shadows on the footage gives it a really high quality super 8 look..and i dig it!

Honestly amazing video and incredible shots. Glad to see that there are still people who use film...I'm one of the only people I know who still do.
Where were the incredible shots? I used to love this channel, but I rarely saw any good shots on any of the videos.
I can't tell you how much inspiring you are oh my god, I love every singly moment in your videos
this is so cool, love the shots. amazing video +negativefeedback
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Totally would love to see a camera overview of the MP and M7 along with videos about 35mm vs 50mm lenses
Really like the Filippo Minelli print behind Aslan - great episode again guys
+Jamie Fernback Thanks man, have to agree on that print
These videos are wonderful! Seriously awesome concept for a video. I love it.
Thank you!
So aesthetically pleasing
+Alice Hauck Thank you!
Photos look amazing and whaaat it already looks like summer in London.

+Jasperi Wirtanen So nice! I wanted to try Natura ages ago but completely forgot about it, it's a shame it's so hard to obtain over here!
NegativeFeedback Its a little extra but at least the film is available online. I'm lucky because a film specializing camera shop near me is run by enthusiastic hipsters so it carries a huge selection of film, even has 35mm Aerochrome (my favorite film stock despite being very specialized).

there's something incredible about being able to look at the world through someone's eyes, lens and mind. I've got no negative feedback (ha ha)
Happy to sub; Great to see camera action once again....good memories of my Canon(Forgotten which one !) with big zoom lenses which weighed a tonne!!!!
As an artist I appreciated seeing Aslam looking to get good deep shadow with good bright light......Light & shade is the secret to exciting pictures= photoed or painted !
I recently discovered your channel and am really enjoying it, feeling very motivated to shoot more film! Thanks.
this is dope! looking forward to future episodes !
Thank you! New video really soon!

great channel man! I really like the content and I'm astonished about your knowledge about film cameras... Keep up the great work !
Your videos are very interesting and sophisticated.
Fuck I love this series! This got me so excited for when I move to london the end of this year. Keen to walk the streets and take some shots. Keep up the awesome work! x
+Hannah Bowman Thank you, so kind!
vibes man

Its seems to be not as big anymore-this years deffo been a bit quieter as the Police and residents have been clamping down a bit.... :-)
love the grain on this video
I never understood why some people crave "fine grain" when shooting film?

How do people in the street react to you taking photos of them if they notice you doing it? I take a lot of photos on the street but I find it hard to be confident enough to take photos of random people in the fear that they'll get angry or something..
Always give a smile and wave if they notice. If they get mad so what. If they get mad enough to chase ya down make sure you got good legs haha
filmsbymillie what I do, is if they notice you shooting them, I pretend I'm looking at something that's just behind them. That's always worked for me.
my dads friend pretends he's trying to fix his camera
Loving the "feedback half"! Can't wait for the next vid!
+Tim Palman Thank you sir, maybe season 2 roadtrip down under?
+NegativeFeedback yaaaas don't get my hopes up like that though
+NegativeFeedback don't say it if you don't mean it! Haha
The music!! What is it? It's purrfect
My two worlds colliding! Can’t believe I’ve only just found this video of yours. Awesome stuff. (Proper term for these car fanatics is “car spotters” or “leapers” if you care lol)
Sick tune, HSxFG are mint.
amazing!
I loved your vlog on Estee's channel :) really into photography! great channel Xxx
35mm film is movie film! Great video, get closer to the subject. Would love to shoot with you guys.
Guys you rock keep the great work coming!
Great video's u have man! Keep it up.
What happened to Aslan? Where is Aslan? He just don't post anything on social media anymore :(
you should sell merch. Love these videos
Great video!
+Luleym Thank you!
Your visuals are great and so different, i can already see this channel and your recognition going beyond whats expected. Whats the instrumental by the way?
Love all he did 😍❤️
Is the print behind you with the pink smoke one of yours? Randomly had a very similar idea the other but nice to see it's been done. Would be keen to know the name of the photographer if possible. Thanks in advance!

Really cool! Bit of an obscure question, but is there a big/any difference between getting film developed by a proper lab vs Boots?
+jasper Huge difference! A place like boots uses a pretty low quality scanner and tends to get inaccuracy in the colours. They can also be a bit iffy with the negatives sometimes if they don't know exactly what they're doing. Pro lab scans are soooooo much better, especially at the higher end places that will even scan your images to your preference of contrast and tones.
+NegativeFeedback Thanks!
NegativeFeedback what places do you recommend in London
Great video! I was wondering what software do you use to edit the video and do you use some sort of filter? Because the ambience and lighting is so nice
Edit inside Premiere Pro CC, and grade by hand, no filters here!
Was the portra shot at box speed or was it rated differently and processed at 400?
love your tattoos.
+Anon ng Thank you!
How do you approach people to take their pictures if you do at all?
Could you do a video on like cheap 35mm film shot at night?
Nice video!!Can somebody tell me the name of BGM?
amazing video!! what software was this edited on and which filter was applied to the video? it's beautiful xx
Thank you! The video was edited on Adobe Premiere, there's no filter added, just manual colour grading done with adjustment layers.
You can tell me what brand you wear the watch
I would recomend explain in the box below the cameras and film used, it would be helpful.
+MrJonymacarroni Will add it in now, had it in the last videos - must have completely forgot! Thanks
ASLANNNNN!
I'm an amateur, but what cameras are you both shooting with???
This is amazing guys:) what do you guys use to grade? luts? Film convert? keep it up!!!
the way this video was filmed is super neat!
How did you add the grainy effect?
do you lot use stocks in the grading? the colours in this are too amazing
i grade manually inside premiere pro, with adjustment layers over either scenes / shots
Hey I don't know much about film, but how do you develop it and then scan for digital use?
I take the film into the lab for them to develop it, they then scan it and wetransfer me the digital files
What camera do you use to shoot your videos?
What cheap cameras would you recommend for these types of shoots?
Good talk but more sample pictures missing at the end of video, IMO.
Cheers.
man, the grading on this video to make it look analog is serious...
Thank you!
what bag do you use?
I'm wondering the same.
nice video, great picture, rad photos!
but: are these people ok with the fact that you take pictures of them and put them on the Internet?
I do like this channel (and I don't even shoot film) but the music makes me feel really queasy, almost like a form of sea sickness, obviously it's just me but anyway, great videos
ASLAAAAN!

oh lol. It's funny seeing my comment from 2 months ago. I've changed my mind about this channel since then. It's chill and I love it now.
for some reason i don't like the asian dude.. every video he is in he just seems arrogant. like he's the kind of friend that everyone has who brags about everything, thinks he's the shit when he isn't just because he knows how to shoot film on a leica.. i like the videos but man idk about the asian dude.. his whole vibe in the videos kinda pisses me off lol
