This is an absolutely brilliant format for a review. It is beautifully filmed, beautifully shot, is really nicely balanced between learning about the artist and the gear. Thanks so much for creating it
A fantastic review, I really enjoyed it but I have to watch it again. I think it is a great feature that this style of camera forces you to focus to the shooting process and keeps you closely involved in the creative process. Once you get used to it and have developed the right muscle memory I can imagine that such a camera becomes a creative extension of yourself. This is probably the reason why so many people rave about the Leica system which follows this concept since approx. 80 years.
So edgy that it got me order some vegan food, searched for "lofi bedroom music project" on spotify, I got some handpoke tattoos of plants and ancient greek busts, all the films in my fridge turned into Portra 400 and my favourite city is berlin from now on

This review and introduction of the artist Kel Lauren was really interesting. One of the advantages of the M10 is that you can see the face of the photographer and not just a huge camera. All this helps in a reportage that is about people and not about technology. The M10 is certainly not the first choice for a fashion shoot, but it is for a reportage where you talk to the artist.
This was an incredible combination of flavors. I came here for the Leica review and caught myself being very interested and absolutely impressed by Kel.
The hype is not because of a cult following. It’s because Leica invented the 35mm film camera. And at one point nearly every professional photographer working in the world shot a Leica M camera.
That is exactly what a Leica teaches someone - it teaches one to slow down, to take time, and compose a shot. It teaches someone to find the focal point of one’s subject instead of relying on the camera. I’ve missed some “Moments” shooting with a Leica while doing street photography. But the ones I’ve captured while being patient for the right moments to happen, the ones I’ve been waiting for in a particular scene or setting give me the satisfaction I can never get from shooting with my 5D. A Leica makes one think and truly create. The size of the camera body and lens don’t give the feeling of invading one’s space especially when shooting portraiture. It’s wonderful how you got to shoot and experience a Leica. I truly enjoying using my M Typ 240 - essentially the first M 10. I was frustrated in the beginning for being so used to simply pointing at a subject, and having my 5D do the rest - click, click, click. But then I finally got it, realizing I truly had to be the one creating the shot. And yeah, the superb images out of the camera… they’re great.
"The sensor is huge". Well, not really, it's a standard full frame sensor size. More megapixels doesn't mean bigger sensor. And the screen on the back is not a viewfinder. A viewfinder is the thing that you look through.
As much as I like the images that turned out in this shoot. I dont see the reasoning behind not using the OVF since the M-series is pretty much made for traditional range-finder style shooter. Would have made more sense using the SL2 instead. But great work!
I thought the same, especially as she spoke a few times about how the range finder slowed her down...but she wasn’t using the range finder, she was using the OVF.. Not a hater though...great vid!
I hear you but whatever gets the job done is the thing that matters here. As she said, this was the first time she'd ever used a Leica and there was a job to be done. She got it done and the photos look great.
Thanks for sharing your first time Leica 10R shoot with us. Did you add the vignetting to your images on post-production or does the 10R do that routinely?
Truly, this channel puts out some of the best and meaningful content. This is true photography from true artists... not gear specs RUclips salespeople. Thanks for this channel!
this docu style camera review is awesome. we get to know the person and also the camera in one video. pls keep doing this. Taylor, it never stops how u amaze me with your art. 💜
I loved this. The impression I got from watching this video is "Yes, if you want to spend $6500 on a camera, this would be a good spend. However, it's not necessary and the same images could be acquired from a more "normal" priced camera." Thanks for sharing!
Having used the M10-R, as well as “more normal priced cameras” I can tell you that the shots coming out of more “normal” cameras may be similar, but the most definitely will not be the same.
Cool to hear someone talk about having synesthesia, I have that too. Mine is spatial-sequence synesthesia, but still it’s cool to hear about something that I rarely hear people talk about having, and using it for their art, as I do as well.
Lol agree...as a long time albeit much older Leica lover owner, I was looking for some actual useful user feedback on the new "r"... So "groan" on so many levels that I'd rather watch Ramen wriggle!
@Moment should really do one of these profiles just about you and your backstory. That would be great! Such an interesting person with their own unique outlook. You have a real authenticity about you and a grace that I find both calming and fascinating at the same time. Cheers to you and the crew ;)
Using a Leica M and than only shoots with the back screen 🙈🙈 the hole point of this system IS the RF, other cameras have better sensors and you can adapt M lenses to almost every system...
Yes but it's her first time with the camera and she needed to get the project done. Considering that Moment was born from iPhone photography, it makes sense to shoot a camera this way if that's what one has done thousands of times. Whatever works. Even Alan Schaller uses the screen on the back and he's the most celebrated Leica Monochrom shooter in the world today.
And people wonder why Leica fanboys get made fun of. You guys need to chill the hell out. You didn't get selected to shoot this story. I would love to own a Leica one day, but be damned if I want this vibe in my life
But did you enjoy... slowing down? lol :) I feel like I'm crafting a photograph when using a rangefinder like Kel ...instead of just pushing the button. Best non camera review camera review...lol! love this style...Nice video, keep it up. Thanks
I stole (I.e bought) The I Pet The Dogs t shirt after Taylor wore it one video and I constantly get compliments on it, so thanks. Also dope pics and Kel sounds AWESOME!
cool review, rangefinders definitely need some getting used to, but once you’ve practiced a bit they surprisingly feel more precise and fast (manual focusing of course)

Stoked part of moment is here in Portland! Love the look from that M10-R
Never thought I would be able to see a Kel Lauren and Moment collab but yet here we are 🤩 amazing video as always 💯
~ surprise ~

i think shoot slowly is not a bad thing, it improves the overall experience for me
love Kel's work! it's exciting to see this collaboration and interview!
the video was so cooool !! congrattss i love it
I love the Documentary style review video hahaha those shots, for me, are jaw dropping!
Had to do something different! Gotta mix it up.
@@moment you guys never fail to do so.
I did love the video, totally a dream camera for many of us. But with all due respect Taylor, you´re looking fabulous here.
Does the 9K camera come with a yellow beanie?
Very beautiful video. I’m impressed.
Mesmeric. One of a kind video. Love it ❤️
Kel has something different in her eyes. Passion and panache
This was an incredible combination of flavors. I came here for the Leica review and caught myself being very interested and absolutely impressed by Kel.
Kel is dope. And Taylor is also dope. This is a great crossover of channels I follow that I did NOT expect, but very much welcome.
Loving the colors and the edit so much❤️
where can you find this backdropp?! it is awesomeeee
I would love more reviews like this that turn into awesome stories from creatives that help all us artists figure out how to keep going
Really enjoyed your video. May I know what is the exact color name of the yellowish background you have in the studio. Thank you
Which filter did you use specifically? I love it!
The edit is so awesome. Damn. Love the pictures so much. I watched the video now the 3 time 😅
I adore kel and their style and perspective on creativity! This docu-style video was absolutely amazing!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.

Really enjoyed this video!
Taylor is too good, seriously 😮
Wow Wow Wow I love every frame
Love this type of hybrid interview & gear experience review, please do more!
This is really awesome! love the interview of Kel!
Pleasant vid to watch. Which lenses did you have? summilux, summicron, nocto? Thanks for any replies, if any.
I love this approach to a camera review actual creative application more than just specifications. Beautiful work!

And the screen on the back is not a viewfinder. A viewfinder is the thing that you look through.
Yeah -I feel like she kinda lost the “fun” of shooting with a Leica with all the chimping/live view
@@JohnSmith-tp9zs Yeah, completely missing the point and apparently not understanding the camera at all.
They’re wearing hobo hats and rainbow nonsense, what dis you expect😂
Wonderful pictures!!
Kel is so cool, didn't realise it was her at first but her outfits great! love the photos
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing!
Great stories, great photos!
Def a dream camera :)
I really like how you combine stories into your videos now
Your link in description section doesn't work.
Okay, I'm in love with Kel
Luv the cam and channel very much ❤️
This is so flipping cool and just really inspired me. Thank you 🙌!
Incredible video as always moment. Loved the documentary style mixed with product focused content.
I for one am loving this new format of video also Kel’s style is impeccable I wish them the best in their creative journey 💯
As much as I like the images that turned out in this shoot. I dont see the reasoning behind not using the OVF since the M-series is pretty much made for traditional range-finder style shooter. Would have made more sense using the SL2 instead. But great work!
It's fine, they're in a studio with controlled lighting. But you were outside where light can be harsh...
That doesnt make sense.
I thought the same, especially as she spoke a few times about how the range finder slowed her down...but she wasn’t using the range finder, she was using the OVF..
Not a hater though...great vid!

i gotta con: leica's are so expensive & all i wanna do is hold it in my hands & love it with all my heart! :'(
Great vid. Love the pics!!!
OMG! The portraits of Kel Lauren. 😲 Such a nice collaboration!
Hi! Love your video. Just curious what do you shoot your vlog with?
Loved the video. Although i was kinda surprised you didn't use the rangefinder
Love the interview and images
Great video! Loved the images!
Thanks for sharing your first time Leica 10R shoot with us.
Did you add the vignetting to your images on post-production or does the 10R do that routinely?
Vignetting depends on the lens used but usually happens with wider Aperture

Kel’s style is amazing. I might steal some of it. ; )
Hi may I know the M10R camera have the video recording Tks you
I really enjoyed the documentary style format, well done!
Truly Amazing Video and love the Message.Really Enjoyed.Deb 💯👌✌
this docu style camera review is awesome. we get to know the person and also the camera in one video. pls keep doing this. Taylor, it never stops how u amaze me with your art. 💜
Great video, really enjoyed it and the pictures were great. Cheers 🍻
Had to double check if it was Kel Lauren in the thumbnail aaaahhh 😆 love it!
Yes!!!! Your eyes do no not deceive you
Hey, just wanted you guys to know that the link to buy the M10 isn't working right now! Thank you for this content! :)
We need more reviews like this!
Amazing video as usual. Congrats Taylor on your first Leica experience! Hope you'll get hooked :P
Did you answer the main question that you originally stated in the beginning - was the M-10 worth the $$? Yes or No.
Kel Lauren and Moment? This is amazing.
what camera did you use to shoot this video ?
Congratulations, and welcome to the club! ;)
Awesome!
The images at 1.8g are butter 🧈

This was like watching someone in a Japanese restaurant using a knife and a fork. Worse: they're reviewing the noodles!
Lol agree...as a long time albeit much older Leica lover owner, I was looking for some actual useful user feedback on the new "r"...
So "groan" on so many levels that I'd rather watch Ramen wriggle!
I would recommend borrowing the camera again, and this time using the rangefinder to focus.
Any link to the full pictures?
Sadly no :( Taylor is going to upload on her website or Instagram soon though. @trmpendleton
How much or little editing did you do for the image taken here? Would love to see your creative post processing also 😊
she edited plenty. Leica does not create flat photos or washed out/grey shadows. Looks like its been put through VSCO with fade filters etc.
Damn this is amazing 🤩
From where is the strap? :)
@Moment should really do one of these profiles just about you and your backstory. That would be great! Such an interesting person with their own unique outlook. You have a real authenticity about you and a grace that I find both calming and fascinating at the same time. Cheers to you and the crew ;)
One of the best from Moment
Also, can you do an episode on Leica q2?
Great video, really enjoyed it. Kel, the pictures and documentary style..evreything is great. What camera do you use for BTS ?

One of the big advantages of using the Leica M is that it forces you to slow down and think... no autofocus, no automaton, just you and the camera.
Psssst The bitly link isn't working
Do videos on Leica lenses please! And the regular SL2! And how the SL2 is a good alternative to the M10 series with the M to L adapter!
She's look humble. Also cute 🥳🥳🥳 - from Malaysia
Its only hype to people who have no experience with it, yes, the images are worth the premium.
I stole (I.e bought) The I Pet The Dogs t shirt after Taylor wore it one video and I constantly get compliments on it, so thanks. Also dope pics and Kel sounds AWESOME!
