OMG a breath of fresh air … thank you 🙏!!! No fast cuts, no slow mo, no empty filler b-roll, no peaking audio, no coffee … just pure honest content, thank you … i was glued from the first frame. Looking forward to seeing more 📷🎥😁.
I enjoyed this a lot! Love the 1x1x1 idea. You're totally right about how limitations invoke creativity. Can't wait to see more of these. I think you're on to something.
This was such a pleasure to watch. After I got into filmmaking, I started looking at the world in a completely different way, and that approach found its way into my photography. I noticed light in a completely different way. It's very fun to see how your filmmaking informs the way you approach photography as well. And now I suddenly have the urge to buy a printer too!
This was incredibly helpful. Even if you aren’t planning to do street photography most of what you talked about here is how to get back to the joy of photography when work is insane. Really really helpful.
@@ryanboothfilmmaker Back again and just found out you've disabled your IG account? Is there any other platforms that we can follow you for street documentary photography blog, notes, photos etc. Cheers mate
Didn’t know you started a channel! Excited for what’s to come! The photos in print form is definitely something I need to start doing. Thanks for sharing!
I just came back to revisit this to link to a friend, why didn't you pursue youtube Ryan? Your numbers should be so much higher for the value that you put out into this space, unfortunately people don't know what they are missing.
the image at 9:24 with the "You take care of me" sign above the guys, i don't know if this was intentional but it is such a beautiful photo, for me representing brotherhood. Great shots Ryan, instant sub from me!
Love it! I’m waiting for my X-E4 to arrive and was browsing YT for inspirations and pufff it comes. I’m so inspired. I was thinking about trying some street photography for a while and hence Fuji camera. I’m going to try some tricks I saw. Thanks a lot and pls for more.
This was a fantastic and enjoyable video overview and review of your street photography! The filmmakers eye has a different skill for lighting and storytelling. Was great to see the prints and your thought process. Look forward to future videos.
This video was great man. When I do street photography I usually walk around aimlessly and get just a few photos I’m pleased with so it’s good to hear how you add some fun to it. And to know I’m not alone I’m not being happy with a lot of images. I’ve also had friends that limit the photos they take. Like maybe they only allow themselves to take 10 photos in an hour, so it forces you to select what you snap carefully. I’d love to see more videos like this. 🤙🏻
Got an X-T30-II on it's way next week, really looking forward to attempting some of these kinds of street photo adventures here in Montreal. Loved the looking back on iPad, this was great!
A really interesting exercise Ryan, thank you for taking the time to make this video for us. The idea of finishing the assignment is incredibly attractive for me and is something I haven’t done for a while now.
Enjoying your thoughts about light and the cinematography point of view! Looking forward to how your channel will evolve. Greetings from Munich, Germany.
Enjoyed watching your process and hearing about how you think through your images. Really opened up a new way of thinking about composition and these "scenes"!
Nice man! Hope you make more videos. Would love to see more exercises for visual storytelling, or just storytelling in general. I started with a lean towards photojournalism and so documentaries were my initial draw for filmmaking and portraits for stills but now i’m try to understand how to do more expressionist storytelling. Anyway, looking forward to what you make next.
This is great. I often have that same urge to make things in between projects, but most of the time don't know where to direct that energy. The self-assignment is such a good idea.
Pure gold! Thanks so much for this kind of content. You inspired me to start street photography some years ago. Watching your process is very inspiring and refershing. OF COURSE I will stick around for that grading video. So many awesome insights on everything (light, gear, color, process, and genuine interest in people).
After my first watch, I really want to play with bringing my shutterspeed down closer to what it would be according to the 360-degree rule. What speed are you shooting at?
Photography is a great art form. Many of my smaller passion projects were filmed but i didn't have the motivation to edit them so they never got finished. If you take a photo with a fujifilm its finished. I created something and if i don't want to edit it its fine since the jpegs look good as themself
I like your low key approach to the RUclips thing. Reminded me of Alec Soth’s recent videos. I like that you’re comfortable talking about your failures and mistakes too. Most of all I enjoyed getting little insights into how you see and think about an image … and your self-imposed project limitations (would love to know if you ever carry any of that approach over to client work?). More videos please!
haha! well, to each their own! w/ the little cam like this one, hip is often how I work, but I'm also 6'3" and have gotten used to needing to drop the camera to get it under eyeline for most people
Good to see you on RUclips Ryan. I’m a big fan of the self imposed constraints. Keep talking about light, and I’m very interested in anything you’ll say about colour grading, especially because you are not primarily a colourist (helps bring a pre/production view to colour, rather than just the post side). P.S. Do you still think Tom Wambsgans is wearing a wire? I don’t.
Loved this video Ryan! I get very nervous pointing cameras at strangers, I was wondering how you get over the nerves especially in your "street in motion" where you're taking video of strangers (pointing the camera at them and following them). Thank you!
Really enjoyed this video and looking forward to your next ones. I'm just wondering if you did colour correction/grading on this video which might affect on the way those photos actually look.
Really interesting perspective going on an assignment for yourself and having a start to finish process!!! I always have the feeling my images get lost with time. Maybe i should consider printing them too. Have you also a thought process when you lay them out before you print them ? Or whatever, colors with colors and same for B&W. Which Canon printer do you use ?? And btw i love the color grading on your pictures 👌 And we want to see more !!!
As a guy from Germany it is also interesting to watch because here you are not allowed to take pictures from strangers. You allways need the consent from the person. You have to ask first and you need a contract. Because the person in the frame can always say: No, I don't my face in puplic. You have to delete it. Street Photography is not really possible. It is sad, but on the other side it is a good law. I was ill for some time and still have to go out on the street. And I would be really pissed if someone took a picture while I was ill. The woman who grabbed your camera doesn't want to be photographed. With my "german" beackround I would never put that picture of her online. Not because I where afraid to get sued... more because it doesn't feel right. I respect the boundaries of another person. And taking a picture from someone else without asking ... it is soooo onormal in the US, but so "absurd" here in Germany. I am allways amazed that you (and other) don't have a problem with it.
Appreciate the perspective! I totally understand that the cultural differences play a huge role in what people feel comfortable photographing. There's a huge difference between street photography in NYC and other places in the US, even. And huge differences between photographing deep in a neighborhood in one of the outer boroughs versus extremely trafficked "public" areas of the city. This is a block off the Oculus - the "Times Square" of lower Manhattan. I called out that story about her because the interaction was an unusual one. I didn't mention that I went and chatted to her afterwards and she just gave me a little wink and kept moving. She wasn't pissed, which is why it was strange. If someone ever has a problem with me photographing, I won't post it and/or won't push it. I have no issue with that. But, yes, totally understand how aggressive Americans look when it comes to street photography :)
OMG a breath of fresh air … thank you 🙏!!! No fast cuts, no slow mo, no empty filler b-roll, no peaking audio, no coffee … just pure honest content, thank you … i was glued from the first frame. Looking forward to seeing more 📷🎥😁.
thank you! glad that it resonated, especially how slow moving it is :) :)
So not Peter McKinnon
more plz
yes sir!
Loved this video Ryan. I think that assignment is a great idea to keep those creative juices flowing in between projects!
The guy with the pizza and the weird reflection is my favourite one. If it had one green square anywhere it would have been the one
appreciate it ricardo! that was my favorite as well
Wow! Thanks for this amazing inspiration! Great video. Just subscribe!
We def need a color grade video
working on it!
Just discovered your channel and loving the type of videos you're making. I hope you keep making them 🕊
OMG so underrated
I enjoyed this a lot! Love the 1x1x1 idea. You're totally right about how limitations invoke creativity. Can't wait to see more of these. I think you're on to something.

the printing unlocked a whole new appreciation for the photography!
Great to see you on here, Ryan. Inspires me to get my act together.
you can do it!

glad it connected, Tom!
Yo, aren’t you the one who started #fujz? Looking forward to seeing more!
Yessir, that’s me! :)

Finally! Keep it up! So glad you're on YT now!

Dude. Your journey is so inspiring. You've got no idea. Appreciate you, man. Keep on!

Bro, keep it up!!!! Amazing content
Thanks for watching Azri!

I'll definitely get there!
Gooood video.
thank you for watching!
This is great. I often have that same urge to make things in between projects, but most of the time don't know where to direct that energy. The self-assignment is such a good idea.
love to hear it. it makes creating more manageable for sure.

haha, working on it.
The digital contact sheet is a great idea and definitely provided inspiration. Looking forward to seeing more from your channel!
thank you adam!
I’ve been following you on Twitter for a while and this has given me some inspiration between corporate shoots.
Thanks for that!
appreciate you watching! glad it connected.
I am so excited to see you putting this out! Thank you!
After my first watch, I really want to play with bringing my shutterspeed down closer to what it would be according to the 360-degree rule. What speed are you shooting at?
So great to see you on RUclips Ryan. Please do a lot more of these videos and reactivate your Instagram. It‘s way to inspriring than to hide it.
back up!
I cannot wait for Ryan on RUclips!
thank you charlie!
So inspired! Love the tone and the composition
thank you for watching!
Love the prints!! I want to steal that idea of xl contact sheets!
do it!
Photography is a great art form. Many of my smaller passion projects were filmed but i didn't have the motivation to edit them so they never got finished. If you take a photo with a fujifilm its finished. I created something and if i don't want to edit it its fine since the jpegs look good as themself
So good. Really does make me want to go out and shoot with an "assignment" for myself. Thanks Ryan.
love it levi! lmk if you end up trying something like it.

Fantastic video Ryan I’m so inspired right now.
love to hear it!
Hey! great stuff, keep pushing I really love your style.
Great video Ryan! As a street photographer and new RUclipsr, I have a lot to learn from your video skills. I will stay tuned to channel :)
thank you for watching!
Love this!
appreciate it!
YOU DID IT! Love this, buddy
:) :)
You lost me at shooting from the hip. 😂 Nice images BTW.
haha! well, to each their own! w/ the little cam like this one, hip is often how I work, but I'm also 6'3" and have gotten used to needing to drop the camera to get it under eyeline for most people

Really good content! keep doing please !
will do!

made a new video sorta talking about this!
nice one mate
thank you for watching!
@@ryanboothfilmmaker my pleasure
Really enjoyed this video and looking forward to your next ones. I'm just wondering if you did colour correction/grading on this video which might affect on the way those photos actually look.
i graded very lightly. it's probably affecting slightly, but the bit in the middle when i played the images full screen was ungraded.
Good shit Ryan 🔥
thank you German!
