Waoo😲🥳
I did. It's fun. Riding with 2000$ worth of gear on your hands, knowing that at any time you can fall, and you have something that's even ugly for paperweight. Yeah...
I really like you road and drivers❤️ over here in india its like staring right at death😂😂
Of course! More variety more ground covered. Bikes + anything go better
I shoot riding my motorcycle Royal Enfield bullet. 😂😂
this guy is the embodiment of "photography is about having fun"
Agreed fun and creating your art! I keep the same mindset
He's making me wanna go out and shoot now
You’re crazy for riding a bike and taking photos at the same time!
He’s got that lens rental coverage lol!
Manuel Escobar I hope he got the insurance as well.
If i'm the insurance company and I see this video, I'd immediately stop coverage for this guy.
He's French, ZERO shits given, I know first hand, my heritage is French :-)
Pierre! Get a one wheel! it would solve are your run and gun photos ;)
The fact that you went out of your way to take pictures for them, for free, and potentially missed the shots you went out there to get, is just great. We need more people like you.
This is probably my favorite part about street photography. I did professional for years before I finally got burnt out. Promised myself to not turn something I love into a job to keep it from sucking the life out of it. People are different, but that's how I prefer it. When I returned to photography, I started hitting the streets of every city I travelled to, and it's people like the group in the video that breathes life back into my hobby and keeps me going. And to see the joy and smile on everyone's faces when they see the results, you can't help but feel the same way. I'll never charge for the photos. Their smile is enough
I mean, part of street photography is natural interactions with people! It's not that everyone has to be charged because someone used a pro setup with them
Some people get mad at this, but having like 5 spontaneous shots and give to people that are nice and interact probably wanna make them call you if they need a photographer, and the best part, you make their day :)
@@emmw7794 True but he’s making their day, you can see the smile on their faces. This guy obviously isn’t in it for the money alone, he loves what he does, and him making the choice to take other’s happiness over his is amazing.
@@user-cd8lh5ql1i Oh yeah and that’s true, i just wanted to point out this guy stopped just to take pictures with them and took time out of his day to make them all happy! That’s my favorite part of street photography, anything can happen.
That's hands-down the best part about being a photographer. When people see the camera, they put on such great smiles. They bring out the best versions of themselves because they want that to be captured, and it's a joy to be a part of even among complete strangers.
couldn't have said it better my guy!
In eastern Europe if you take pics of strangers they come and kick your ass, lol
not in every country
@@Aniketshyam no shit lmao
That's beautiful
That group of friends getting so excited just made me just as happy, if not more. Love to see good reactions from people rather than the "WHY ARE YOU TAKING PICTURES OF ME" kind of people.
I love that the group offered to pay you, they are real for that.
group of legends
@@GarrettMusic1 i would love to get a random photos from these street photographers i would be so happy 😃
I feel bad that all the people that got their pictures taken didn’t get to see how awesome it looked.
I wonder if he handed them all release forms to fill out 😂
Ikr !!!!
@@Darkest_Soul_187 release forms in a public area?
@@kisame225 Idk about law in the US, but in Switzerland you are not allowed to take close up photos of people, even in public. Only if the people "belong to the background". Which was clearly not the case in some photos.
@@weebitch1708 In the US it's perfectly legal to take photos of people without their permission if it's a public setting
I love how excited he gets while taking pics. That's literally me.
Me to bro me to lol
I used to do a lot of street photography before having a child, and anyone who uses a telephoto lens can relate to when you're trying to get a shot and literally have to run 20-30 feet back to get what you want in frame lol
The human interaction really makes it amazing, because often you don't expect too many people to actually interact with you. They'll see you shooting either move out of the way (awesome people) walk through the shoot, or just kind of look and go on about their day.
It's one of the few professions where you can be an introvert, but have those extrovert interactions and be comfortable.
Loved seeing this!
yeah, ppl just holding their walking pace for a few seconds, asking if you got the shot you wanted and then continue their walk is realy nice. Did some portraits with 600mm for fun, and people just walking wide around the line of sight not knowing the 600mm is very low degree of vision so they could literally walk 1m next to the line of me and subject and be out of frame :P
85mm to 400mm focal range is great for street photography with people as subjects. Although not as discrete with a huge 400mm, it feels less intrusive as you can be far away. Of course, an open area environment also plays a big part in using this focal range.
You won't find anythinf more entertaining to watch than a French person doing something they're REALLY passionate about
like starting revolutions
Omg pierre biking with a $3,000+ camera and a $2,500 lens withput strap and with one hand. He has more confidence than anybody haha
It’s a rental and he probably has insurance
Camera,??? Neam
That last shot of them jumping at 10:43 is insane! 🔥
The thing i love about telelenses, is that you do not need an f2.8 for great backgroudn blures. An f4 or 5.6 also is enough, and not so expensive. Great Video!
this is so comfy to watch(: Just him cruising around on his bike. Love it
I know everyone shoots wide for street photography like 28mm or so. But I have always loved the compression long telephotos lenses create. They give photos a totally different look. I like shooting with my Fuji 100-40mm.
Fuji fosho! 😁
Got a question for you, how do you think he's dialling in focus here? I couldn't him him moving an autofocus point around. Is he just focusing manually?
@@Jefferson-ly5qe yea I want to know that too
@@Jefferson-ly5qe most of photographers use oldschool center focusing and then you move with camera with half-pressed trigger, that's the easiest and fastest way how to focus without playing with some stupid touch screens, but maybe he was just lucky and AF focused on correct objects in some cases and he used only these pictures
@@Pidalin ah that makes sense. Going to have to try that one. Is it better to use a centre area focus or just a point?
Those people you met at the 10 min mark was my fav part : )
The definition of introverted street photography
Pierre, I'm watching all your older videos as I'm so late to the Pierre party!
Dude you are honestly the most inspirational photographer to me. When I sit down and watch your vids I get so excited like I'm a kid again. I adore how passionate you are and how much you are just in the moment and at one with your surroundings. I'm always smiling whenever I watch, especially when the stars align for you as you're shooting to get those magic shots like at 10:28 I was like YES! YES! YES!
Street photography is my greatest love, there is nothing I enjoy more than grabbing my camera and exploring a city through the lens. For me the part I enjoy the most by far is the actual process of capturing images with a camera - playing with composition and light, as well as really appreciating camera equipment and the science behind the process as I shoot. You package that entire feeling I get, into your videos somehow. None of my friends are into photography, so it's nice to see someone sharing their experiences and seeing so many parallels (not including your INSANE talent level!). Your content makes me feel so pumped to grab my camera and get outside!
I actually have this Sony 100-400 F4.5-5.6 which I featured on my channel buying it during my quarantine at LHR Airport to stop myself dying of boredom by filming planes! it's a stunning lens but I have never used it for street photography - I will try it now!
Thanks for being such a nice dude and for taking us on your journey with you!
He does not only wanting us to be inspired, but his Energy man. Energy!!!!!!!
a few things i absolutely love about this video. you can tell how much fun your having from just taking photos. it really made me laugh in a good way from how much fun you're having. and also the fact that the group of people were willing to pay you for those few photos you took of them was really nice of them.
I‘m no photographer but the fact you‘re able to take such amazing photos just like that on the spot with little to no preparation is amazing, what a great video! Really enjoyed it, the love you show for your craft just makes it more inspiring!
Him : Only 20 mns to make 40 masterpieces
Me : Shooting 40 days to maybe find a cool photo in my bunch of shit
I feel you bro
You miss all the shots you don't take.
Keep snapping, brother.
This hits on a personal level
A wise photographer once said, just keep shooting. Your style comes with time, just keep shooting
No, no, no! I'm sure your images are great. We're too critical of ourselves. Remember: one person's shit is another person's... actually, it's still shit, admittedly, but if you'd randomly filmed your shit like these guys and uploaded it they'd probably be thinking the same as you. Remember RAPping? (Random Acts of Photography) when digital cameras first came out? You just randomly takes photos as you go about your day and don't even look at what you're capturing (such as when you're riding a bike or on a bus or on holiday or whatever) and then look back through them: you find lots of cool photos becuase you didn't conciously try to take good ones. You're great. Maybe take a photo of your shit and you may be surprised at its abstract beauty (expecially if you have a high fibre diet). Hugs from Australia.
I’ve never seen someone more passionate than this guy. Those were some amazing shots!
- Gets rental lens
- Rides no handed on Bike while taking pics...
how much they cost
@@martinkulik9466 couple thousand 😬
@@astro_hunter1823 2 thousand is not a lot to rent lens when he made more than that with this video alone and he makes much more from affiliate sales too. I thought it's 5-10k.
@@martinkulik9466 I don't think it cost 2,000 to rent the lens but maybe
@@noahbriley nobody talks the price of rent, but the price of lens
My man dropped an “ooh la la”.... made my week 😂😂😎😎😎😎
"So, remember guys do what is fun for you... Don't worry about the others."
-Pierre T. Lambert
I love how casual this guy and still manage too take crazy good photos
You are literally the nicest photographers ever. Just became my favorite bro
Pierre:
This video was a gift, and I'd like to tell you why.
A long time ago, my father gave me a wind-up Canon camera and made sure I knew how to use it. I grew up, and today, I love photography and use it as both a hobby, an escape, and a way to help make a living. Dad didn't know it then, but he was also giving me one of the most valuable tools in my mental health toolkit. When I'm anxious, I reach for the camera.
Over the years, photography came and went for me and my dad. He was into it while I wasn't, and vice versa, for some time.
My passion was re-ignited about 5 years back, thanks to RUclips videos, just like yours. I showed my dad this very video over thanksgiving weekend, and he's hooked. I'm thrilled. I think I re-ignited his spark, in a way, and your video was the lighter.
Your message at the end of this video, about picking up the camera because it's 'good for the soul' brought a tear to my eye.
Please keep doing what you do!
This is so damn good. I literally paused and stare at the shots for soooo long. I only have a EOS 600D and I've been trying to make my shots look like this before but I couldn't because of the worn out mirrors. I really loved the quote too. Photos are worthless if no one else sees it, don't let it die with you alone.
I know I'm late but, I have the same camera!
@@loly5271 Same, even though the Autofocus is kinda slow I try to make the best out of it
@@bego3660 I don't really have a problem with the autofocus considering I only use it on my 80-300mm. The 50mm and 18-55mm work better on manual focus for me. Hope all goes well on your photography journey!
8:50 why are all of their poses on point though lol
Yeah like they were amazing! So photogenic!!!
The details of your pictures are mindblowing 🤯
こんなに楽しそうに写真撮ってるの見てるとこっちまで楽しくなる✨
“Don’t try this at home” I won’t 😂 Amazing video!
When Pierre says “I need a friend” - me ready to hop on a plane with my trusty canon 70D
Me with my canon 60D
cries in 1100d
let me bring my *m50*
*me coming from the back with a 4000d and an 18-55 kit lens*
@@axlyro7401 Don't worry, you can take some amazing photos with the kit lens. It fact it is pretty sharp
Everyone else: nice camera man
Me: that bike looks good to ride
9:16 I love this picture.
The depth of field and the sun casting this rimlight around her bun ... that's really nice.
3:20 I was like ayyyy Kuala Lumpur, the city I live in.
"That light is awesome but human experience is better." BOOM! awesome video as always! this was super fun to watch, I always love the commentary
"Damn. 400mm is so tight"-------------That's what she said.
... to an elephant
*That's what HE Said*
1:33
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
With what accessory and equipment do you record the route while you take the photos? Thnaks...!
This dude is awesome. One of the coolest photograph videos Ive seen.
I love the reaction of those people when they saw the awesome pics
I really prefer doing nature and bird photography myself, but I absolutely love your videos Pierre. Also you're pretty brave shooting in the middle of the street like that.
Yeah the birds don't get mad at me when I take their picture 🤣🤣🤣
You're interaction with the locals was dope!!!
WOW!!! Fantastic Video Bro! Best greetings from Switzerland!
This was such a joy to watch! Your passion for photography really makes these videos the best thing to watch!
This is amazing, I started street photography just weeks ago and was looking for inspiration.
You having fun being just yourself is simply amazing.
Hope to see more vlogs like this. love it
Amazing!
The most hilarious part of this was when he sprayerd and prayed then said "don't take photos like that" and giggled 🤣🤣
this video is one of the most beautiful videos i’ve ever seen on youtube 💕
maaaan that sunset background and the pictures daaammmm
Definitely Im gonna try this biking and shooting with my phone, ty for inspiration, been watching your videos lately, fan here in Philippines 🇵🇭
i've already smashed like button before watch it cause i know it's gonna be another awesome video
Ahhh thanks Thiago!
That happiness of photography is sick!!! Keep doing it! FREAKING LOVE IT!!!
Oh my God, these pictures are like therapy
You are so lucky to live in such a beautiful city
lol. I love how you had fun and interacted with perfect strangers that wanted to have fun and interact with you. That was great.
That Video makes me sad .... you took so many real cool shots of people. And they probably never see them. I think they would hang it at their living rooms.
The girls at the stairs were amazing love the session.
And your energy is absolutely outstanding
Keep on going
.....Greetz from 🇩🇪
So rad! This totally gave me some new ideas and fired me up to start taking pictures again
@1:38 i was like “whoa comes with a pop out coffee mug to ?!” 😂
400mm would be out of my imagination for street photo, this is a nice adventure to see!
that group of people is phenomenal
Love his excitement when catching good shots, makes me excited too lol
0:06 "don't try this at home"
Yes i was about to ride my bike inside my house trying to take a picture with a 3k camera and 2k lense
15:24 "don't try this at home"
Yeah, i'll do it on street instead i guess
I love how excited he gets while taking pics. That's literally me. you my inspiration brooww
Man this is sooo good. I've visited Chicago a couple times, did some street photo however this apporach is so fresh. And the results are impressive.
Amazing!!!! We need more people like him and more public people like them too, so easy going and friendly for photographers.... Pierre you are one super friendly and easy to get along with. Great videos mate! 😍
“I like those guys over there” - takes picture of a couple
“That’s a cute couple” - take a picture of an older man with a child lmao
In terms of breathing, probably the focal length, but also the fact that it's f5,6 at the long end, compared to most of your other lenses being 2.8 or lower primes, that means much more light for the AF system too :)
Also great video as usual, love these 'unusual' lens street photography videos. Perhaps you could try a fish eye sometime. Could be interesting.
Wow, these shots are magical. Dream lens
I love this kind of street photography
seeing people happy with your work makes my heart melting💛keep it up
You’re crazy
I love your style of "Speed Photographing" :o) makes me so excited with "WOW!", "OMG!", "DAMN DUDE!"... Amazing dude just amazing... :o)
YOOOOOOOOOO This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Amazing demonstration with this lens 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
And they make Chicago look like 🇮🇶 on the news but it’s actually a very special place .........
It iiiis, its so awesome
Just like any city downtown looks nice but go a few miles out and its a different story
If your mother was Iraqi,then you should know that your biological father is not...cuz only b**tard write such disrespectful things toward his country
West and south side is completely different...
Haha, whats the murder rate there. Think its higher then Iraq. I'll skip
Damn I just got my first camera a couple of days ago and seeing you get such cool pictures so seamlessly makes me want to learn more to eventually make gear upgrades worth it for me haha.
Him: Dont try this at home.
Also me: Trying it outside
One of my favorite street photography.
The way you photograph makes me happy
16:33 did they steal the tires and left the bike?😂
Asking the same question
Don’t forget the chain and handles too
Pierre just found the perfect stalker lens 😂😂
Lol yaaasss
At 400mm, it looks like someone put a cup of coffee on a lens :-D
“Human experiences are better” I love you dude, I hope I can one day run into you while I’m in chicago I’m regularly down there just too walk around
Awesome interaction with the young people in the park. Step images are “epic.”
Wow so beautiful
Your pics are absolutely insane bro!! I wish I would have such a great equipment 😍😍
I've never smashed notification as fast as now
Ahhh my man!!!
This is exactly what I love on Photography. Just finding that perfect shot.
10:10 random thought.. imagine if he run away from them lol "imma head out" 😂😂
That would have been fun 😂😂
“That shit lit!” Lol! Welcome to Chicago Pierre!
Chicago is one of the most beautiful places
Yeh really nice NOT if you wanna die go to that shithole lots of crimes and shootings
omg i love how they interact with you and the photos are really nice!!
this dude is so enthusiastic i love it
This guy is so passionate he does not mind risking his life for a chance at something beautiful... or a ride to the hospital
15:23 we are not trying in home bro lol we will try in roads !!! hehee lol
The sunlight was awesome. 😍
