Hello hello, we've hit the end of July, more than half of the year has past and I've shot so much already! A lot of which I haven't yet shared and so I felt like sitting down for a little catch-up chat and share some photographs that I like from the last six months with you. I hope you enjoy this hangout :)

Wishing you a lovely weekend!
Hi Teo! I just wanted to say that your videos have gotten me into film photography and I am absolutely loving it! Film gives me a chance to step away from the rapid pace of my life and take a moment to capture something beautiful. I am forever grateful for you and your incredible photography for allowing me to discover this hobby.
"I love this; it inspires me."✨📷
Babe wake up, new relaxing Teo photography video dropped
Hi Teo, I really enjoyed the photos and the stories. Organized clutter is a sure sign of a creative. Cheers.
I love all of your videos Teo! So nice to 'sit down with you' and hear about your process, your outings, and your favorite photos. I think it is really interesting to see which ones are your favorites and why, and it really reinforces for me that everyone has a different aesthetic they prefer and that photography works, like many other works of art, are subjective!
I don't know much about photography but after watching you , I was inspired . So , I have started photography in my phone . As always, Thank you Teo for giving good stuff ☺
This was such a lovely video Teo, absolutely lovely idea as well.. Might steal that as a format, hearing your own thoughts on why you like a photo is so refreshing, and taking a step away from just trying to make "banger" photos, is so refreshing... there is so much more behind photography than just crating bangers, and you clearly captured that beauty here with this video!
Watching the video while going through Innsbruck by train, a dream!!
And, the video is so chill and perfect, as usual!! ❤❤
Can't wait to watch this, thanks for blessing us with a 30 min video going into the weekend 😃
The first photo with the red sign in the snow it almost feels like I found the destination of a waypoint in a video game 2:05
loved the vibes, I always loved your videos and you edits ✨❤
Your videos are always so calming to watch after a long day.
You have gotten so many subscribers yay! You really made me like film photography and I have been watching your videos for around 2 years! I love your videos so much and I'm really happy to see how far you have come with your channel
you've inspired me so much with this to keep my film camera on me when I go out and about in my everyday life. there's always little moments to capture
just found your channel because I recently picked up an analogue film camera.
love your whole aesthetic and calming vibes. this style of vlog is really charming :>
That point and shoot w flash aesthetic is a must in family photo albums! I got a point and shoot because I want my family to still have that, even the newborns. Even digitally you have to take photos with flash from time to time to get that look too.
Your videos are balm for my soul, Teo. Plus, they make me want to go live in Austria (as opposed to my current location, the post-apocalyptic urban hellscape of contemporary Los Angeles). It's been really important for me to print my favorite photos. It motivates me to see tangible results from my efforts. I actually use a Canon Selphy CP 1500 to print 4x6 at home. Both the printer and refill carts are super affordable. It only prints 4x6, mind you. But it's still turned out to be one of the best photo-related purchases I've made. (I don't work for Canon or anything btw). Anyway, I'm looking forward to your next video!
Jealous of you being in LA, so many great photographers live there and it’s such a beautiful place to shoot
Nice vid Teo! One thing to keep in mind is that most light meters will give you exposure readings for middle grey. Which is why your photos in the snow are underexposed. If your subject is overall bright white, you need to over expose by a stop or two. If your subject is overall dark/black, you need to underexpose. This is so your highlights and shadows don’t look grey. Hope that helps!
yay! thank you for sharing. this seems to be a great exercise and way of reflecting on photography. I hope there will be another reflection of 6 months :)
Exactly the kind of catch up I need more of in my life
Love this style of video with you sharing what you like about your photos!
22:12 my favorite of all these
Hallo Teo, thank you so much for all the effort you put in all of your videos, they are always so calm and relaxing, that I forget I'm on my phone watching youtube. I love the pic you took in that basketball course the best! Also, I have always loved photography, but thanks to your "best film rolls for beginners" video I decided to try out for my Boston trip this year and I was so satisfied with the results, most shots came out pretty good and I was suprised its not a blank roll. All in all, thanks for inspiring me! 😊 Danke vielmal~
Hiya Teo, I'm from Lutruwita/Tasmania, Australia.
I love the photo of the (half) wine barrel. It reminds me of my parents place all the way over here on the other side of the world. They're definitely for looking pretty but they're also commonly used as bird baths and watering holes for native animals where I live ❤️🙏🏻
You should put your photos in a nice booklet. I keep the aesthetic shots separate from the family/friends album. Great pics tho. Would like to challenge you to make some active n chaotic shots. Keep at it 😎
Hey theo, you were my inspiration for starting photography. I bought a gx80 with a 12-32mm and of course a 20mm some months ago and I love it. Thank you so much for this❤️
When your vlog is like a movie
This video has inspired me Teo, and I truly love light sources in your film photographs ~~
new subscriber but i absolutely adore your vids
another beautiful video, love the photos!
Beautiful shots
22:00 the barrel in this shot is part of a garden feature called a "water chain" (at least i think so lol) they're set up so water from the gutter of a roof or high point, can run down the chain into the barrel, producing a really beautiful visual and sometimes it can make this wonderful light trickling sound that's almost musical, my parents set one up at the bottom of the garden when i was little, and i used to watch it for ages when it rained, just standing in the rain with an umbrella lol.
@@MAYKOSHARKO ahhh that’s cool!😍
I love your videos, I think about my film photos the same way, there's a story behind them always :)
You are truly inspiring🩵💫
You have the best music 🫶
wow, hey, 6 months is a short time, you're pretty good for 6 months, keep it up!
@@reeft Ohh wait, I think you‘re misunderstanding… I‘m referring to the last 6 months, so basically the first half of 2024. However I‘ve been shooting film for around 3 years :)
Absolutely amazing
Hi! Do you have a video talking about your favourite lenses for use with your K1000, or favourite lenses in general? I'd love to see that if not, thanks and great photos as always!
Ok so like I a newbie well like I’ve been into disposable cameras lol but I’m scared to take like the first leap bc I get so overwhelmed where to learn new stuff.. am I doing this right?? Like the specifics of everything then the comparing like oh hey is this person judging me .. oh and the comparison to uh photographers like you. who’s work is beautiful! I think my problem is adhd and anxiety but we prevail. Anyways it’s videos like this that give me the lil push to be like oh hey this makes me really happy and hopeful taking photos. Thank you. I’m so glad I came across your channel
I love the bike POV
I think that bird is a stork. Hard to tell at that size, but yeah... a stork?
In that First photo ( red post) if you wait for some time to pass the cloud ..it looks more beautiful..
Teo, might I ask, how come your accent is so good and natural?
@@reeft I‘m half British, half Japanese so i grew up speaking those and German (grew up in Austria). Funnily enough that lead to all three having a bit of a weird accent until I was around 18 hahah. Since then I‘ve become better in speaking each language in it‘s „proper“ accent if you know what I mean☺️🙌
The bird at 23:45 is actually called a White Stork, beautiful birds and originally native to Japan.
Ahhh great, thanks for helping out with the name haha :D And yes, it is indeed quite the beauty, hence I'm happy to have captured its elegance in the photograph :)
Question for the film shooters out there. A lot of these photos I don’t see the point of shooting in film at how much the cost would be. Some look clean enough to just take on a digital camera, others look noisy enough to take on a digital camera with the iso cranked or on an old digital camera. Is it just taking photos with film for the sake of taking with film? Like is it the enjoyment of the money and time invested, or the love of manually developing and scanning your own film? Though a lot of people just send theirs to a lab. Genuinely asking. I understand pictures that are very clearly only possible on film or would require heavy amounts of photoshopping, filters, and other fakery for an approximated look, but so many of the pictures on RUclips videos look so clean and the colors look sufficiently accurate to real life that I question why spend the money on those shots. Unless I suppose you went out and your film camera was the only thing you had and you absolutely felt you needed to capture that shot. Perhaps I’m not artistic enough, or too cynical to really tell so if someone could explain it to me I’d appreciate it. It just feels like someone washing their clothes with a bucket and washboard instead of the machine in their home because they like how their fingers turn red from scrubbing. To repeat and clarify, I’m just talking about clean, color accurate photos that look like they could just be taken with a digital camera, not something so stylistic they’re using special film stock or whatnot.
I think this is pretty subjective, but generally there are technical reasons and enjoyment-reasons (couldn't come up with a better word haha)
On a technical level, I find digital cameras to have way too much detail. I like that if you zoom into a 35mm negative, you pretty quickly see only grain and no further detail. Also the tonal range and the way shadows look on film, and the same with the colours, I find really hard to recreate digitally. I can get about 70%-80% there, but not closer, though it depends on the individual image of course.
But more importantly is the second point actually: It's simply way more enjoyable I find. I find much more joy in using a film camera and using film instead of SD-cards. And enjoyment is sort of a key factor in photography, because the more fun you have doing it, the more often you're going to take your camera with you, which will consequently lead to more photographs and higher chances of getting a good shot (increasing statistical chances with joy).
However shooting primarily film also leads to more enjoyment in digital for me. I love to pick up my small digital camera at times to feel the freedom of just shooting away. This feeling however of course only exists because of the felt contrast to my usual shooting style, which is limited due to the cost of film.
So for me that makes it worth it. I view it a bit like the weird thing that everyone has that they spend more money on than the average person. For some it's LEGO, for some it's cigarettes, for me it's film :)
hi teo! how do you travel with film? i've heard several methods, but i'm curious what method you use and if you've ever had issues at the airport for example. have you ever had film ruined by security xrays? love your videos!
Hi Teo! Which film did you use for the photo of the two ladies in the restaurant indoors (4:28)? Its so nice, has a really unique feel to it
That's Portra 400. But don't mistake the nice feel of the photo as something that the film created. Of course the film does its part, however way more importantly the scene itself and the lighting are what make the mood :)
Nice, 1:50 what is the film stock here? Or do you have the same in all the photos and is it Olympus XA3 all of them?
Can you please tell us what songs you're using in your vids :>
Hi Teo, I just have a quick question. If when doing film photography, the photos are just being scanned, and then manipulated in Lightroom (colour corrected and or graded), then what is the point in buying all these different types of film stock? Surely you would just want to buy the cheapest, as you can essentially make it look like any other film stock via the levels in Lightroom... For example, if I purchased Kodak Gold 200 (which has a more orange, vintage look), and I wanted to to look more like Fujifilm (which is known for it's greener tint), well, I could just drag the green tint to the left in Lightroom, to make it less magenta and more green... The same also goes for Ultramax 400... Ultramax 400 is known for it's vibrant popping colours... Well, this can be achieved just by increasing the vibrancy slider in LR? Sorry, but this is a serious, genuine question concern. If film is being edited in LR, why not just by the cheapest film stock and make the changes yourself? Why by all this expensive film?
Film is basically the base that you work off of. Each film has different sensitivity and hence a different dynamic range. Additionally the colours and the relation between the colours are different. While you can make certain film scans look more like another film it's rather inaccurate I'd say. I personally cannot make Portra 400 look like Gold 200, they're too different, especially the grain.
Also when shooting Ultramax for example, in my experience the greens are more yellowish and very close to my skin tone. So if I'd shift the yellow of some grass to become more green, that would consequently make my skin tone green too. Whereas Fujifilm has a stronger separation between green and skin tones. They're skin tones might even lean a little magenta because it is optimised for Asian skin tones which tend to be more yellowish.
So while on the surface it may appear that most films are very similar and it doesn't really matter which you shoot (which is certainly not false), the difference are quite nuanced and lie in the details. Mainly it comes down to differences in grain, dynamic range and the relation between each colour hue.
So it all comes down to what base-look is the best for you to work off of :)
I hope this can clarify this topic for you.
Aghhh, this is such a well thought out and amazing reply. Thank you very much for putting the time and effort into explaining this to me. I have only recently gotten into film photography, and I was starting to get a little scared and put off by the fact that I was starting to think that with tools such as LR, it is kind of just a joke, like some sort of elitist "oooh look at me", and different films didn't even matter... sort of like pulling the wool over your eyes.
Your explanation about the unique characteristics of different film stocks, such as dynamic range, color relations, and grain, really helped me understand the nuances and value of choosing different films. It’s reassuring to know that these subtle differences create a foundation that digital manipulation can't fully replicate. I feel much more confident and excited about exploring the various film types now. Thank you again for sharing your insights and helping me appreciate the true essence of film photography
I like your eye for photos! What Olympus camera are you shooting with? I have an OM-2 😊
Aww thank you!
Ohh sorry, I must have just said "with the Olympus" haha. I was referring to the Olympus XA3 :)
@@teocrawford No worries at all 😊 Enjoying your channel!
Hey, awesome video as always. Where do you edit your videos?
I edit in Premiere Pro :)
@@teocrawford thanks🩷
If it weren’t for RUclips and monetization would you still do photography?
Of course? I'm way too attached to the art of photography, it's a huge part of my life.
@@teocrawford ya same for me.
The bird is a stork rather than a crane.
@@jandqu Ahh thanks, that’s it!
What job you do for consistent money for daily life?
I want to be you
Next video: camcorders pls
Please please ditch this overmannered, whispery, breathy tone, it's like nails on a chalkboard. For the love of everything, please talk like a regular human.
I wish I could watch your videos, but it's unbearable.
Your video is so nice...inspired me to focus on my channel , Thank you
love this!!!
