As a photographer who also always cherished this place so much (my family has been in Tokyo for many generations), it's so cool to see it through your lens! Stoked you got to make your dreams come true ~
Beautiful video. As someone living in Tokyo, I always look forward to your work. I’m truly moved that you came to Japan, a place I love, and created such a wonderful piece. Thank you. I hope this becomes a cherished memory for you. Thank you.
5:03 is one of my favorite photos from this video. And - wow - such a great rainy day film sequence from 7:38 to around 7:45. But you are always on the lookout for the best motifs for your photos, both in color and in black and white. Especially since in this big city you have to keep up with the hustle and bustle and the rapid flow of time. It's a pleasure to watch. Thanks!
Lil bro's having the time of his life. Enjoy! Such a great city, but make sure to get out of it too - the nature and rural towns of Japan are just as incredible!
As you started showing images, I thought: “There is no better RUclips photographer than Faisal - well perhaps Ulysses Aoki.” And then he appears later in your video. Just awesome seeing you in Tokyo and connecting with Ulysses, Alex, and Roman (at least who I recognized). Keep it up. You’re inspiring.
Every time I watch your videos I think to myself, “man, Faizal really needs to get himself to Japan!”. I’m so glad you’re there now and I look forward to seeing more of the fun times I’m sure you’ll have. 行っていらっしゃい!！
Wonderful point of view of Tokyo. Inspiring me to go look for more shoots while I live in this amazing city. Thanks for the video Faizal. Keep them coming!
Excellent video and photos. Tokyo is indeed a photographer's dream place to be in. Capture moments, aesthetics, reflections, colors, mood, lighting, just about everying is there.
I just got back from visiting Japan for the past 2 weeks, if I saw all you guys just out and about I would've flipped out haha. Can't wait to see the rest of you photography from this stay of yours!!
Fantastic city and you expose it well. I was there way back in the eighties, before smart phones and digital cameras. I remember it was very hard to find my way around, since, at that time at least, the signs and everything was in japanese, and I could not read it. Also nearly nobody spoke any english!
Amazing work as usual. Really love the ton you give on those pictures, Im a fujifilm user and im trying to get a similar vibe with some recipes? Any advice please? Thank you
Such a nice walk to watch 🫶🏽! What parts of Tokyo would you recommend, to have a nice walk? I’m travelling to Tokyo in a week and can wait to be out in the streets! 🤩
There is something about the light in Japan that is so different from anywhere else in the world. It's not for nothing that so many camera manufacturers are based in Japan. I wonder if you've come across In Praise of Shadows by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki?
No disrespect to Faizal, I look up to him and deeply love and admire his work, but a commentary on photographers and street photographers specifically…I really feel like the creatives in this space are either just bored, or too caught up in hive mindedness to notice, but as of late, everyone seems to be focusing on and talking about the same things. It’s really made the content redundant. Every street photographer wants to upload a video covering the X100V/VI (or really any Fujifilm camera in general), talking about doing photography in Tokyo or NYC (obvious choices for a street photographer), reviewing the Ricoh GR iii, or giving advice on how to achieve “that cinematic look.” With so much gear out there, so many locations, and so many shooting methods, it’s makes no sense for everyone to only be focusing on such a criminally small demographic. I know social media algorithms play an important factor too, but even so, it just seems like the same gear, philosophies, and locations are passed around. Really would like to see more people in this space branch out a bit more.
Great comment- you're right, algos are a big part of it. Putting together a video (especially something like Faizal's) takes lots of time and effort. Street photography also doesn't pay the bills by design, so something has to... With all this in mind I 100% agree with you and comment taken into account.
From the music, if you like Japanese fusion I recommend bands like Casiopea and T-Square. ❤

who asked?
Beautiful video. As someone living in Tokyo, I always look forward to your work. I’m truly moved that you came to Japan, a place I love, and created such a wonderful piece. Thank you. I hope this becomes a cherished memory for you. Thank you.
As someone who's been living in Tokyo for some years now, I'm very impressed what you've been able to capture, both in video and in your pictures.
It was a very interesting video how people from other countries see my country!
5:03 is one of my favorite photos from this video. And - wow - such a great rainy day film sequence from 7:38 to around 7:45.

Especially since in this big city you have to keep up with the hustle and bustle and the rapid flow of time. It's a pleasure to watch. Thanks!
Love the selection you have about music in your videos. It fits so well.
Your shoots get super emotional. And me too. Thanks

first
its unfair :( keep the rules,please
no me first
😂
Cinematic x Westcott x Tokyo 🇯🇵
A perfect combo
9:20 What I loved [love] about Tokyo is that it's so densely populated [and I live in NYC]. Yet it has this calmness to it. I can't wait to return.
hope you're enjoying your time there! keen to see your take on it
Every time I watch your videos I think to myself, “man, Faizal really needs to get himself to Japan!”. I’m so glad you’re there now and I look forward to seeing more of the fun times I’m sure you’ll have. 行っていらっしゃい!！
Wonderful point of view of Tokyo. Inspiring me to go look for more shoots while I live in this amazing city. Thanks for the video Faizal. Keep them coming!
Went there October last year and had a blast taking photos there! We've decided our next family trip will be Japan again!
I loved this, Tokyo is such a great place for street photos.
I enjoy your moments in the video. Me myself is also a street photography enthusiast so I love your work.
So special! What an epic week of photography in Tokyo, great video Faizal.
Hi Faizal, Your videos give me a lot of peace. Are you recording yourself on the street using the Osmo Pocket 3? Regards,
wow, it's nice to see other street photographers who i also follow on your video 💪
Excellent video and photos. Tokyo is indeed a photographer's dream place to be in. Capture moments, aesthetics, reflections, colors, mood, lighting, just about everying is there.
Wow, ur getting some portfolio shots fs in Tokyo!
It’s nice to know you are in Tokyo.
I’m not sure if you’ve already been, or planning to go, but you might like an area around Nakano station.
I just got back from visiting Japan for the past 2 weeks, if I saw all you guys just out and about I would've flipped out haha. Can't wait to see the rest of you photography from this stay of yours!!
Faizal, enjoy every single second over there! It looks like a treasure. Have a wonderful time (together with some familiar faces ...) I am jealous ...
From one photographer to another. Great feels and observations Faizal
Nice timing. I’m going to Tokyo myself in about a week. I expect to shoot tons of pictures. My fourth time there though, eleven years since last time.
Words cannot express how excited I am to see the rest of your Tokyo series!
Thanks Faisal , well done , nice guest star with Roman !
Amazing as always. I’d love to know the other photographers on the trip so I could check out their channels
Thank you, thank you, thank you for making the text larger so that I can now read it!
Very much appreciated 👍🏻🏴
What GREAT company you were with…AWESOME!!!
Fantastic city and you expose it well. I was there way back in the eighties, before smart phones and digital cameras. I remember it was very hard to find my way around, since, at that time at least, the signs and everything was in japanese, and I could not read it. Also nearly nobody spoke any english!
Glad you’re here to photograph this awesome country! I’ve been here for two years and it’s still a new scene every single day 🤙🏼
just sat down for dinner hoping a good video comes around my YT feed, and there u are uploading a video. Thank u
I can’t wait to see your pics from the imperial palace!
U really managed to bring some Tokyo to me through the screen. Thanks for that 🙏👌
Amazing work as usual. Really love the ton you give on those pictures, Im a fujifilm user and im trying to get a similar vibe with some recipes? Any advice please? Thank you
Such a nice walk to watch 🫶🏽! What parts of Tokyo would you recommend, to have a nice walk?
I’m travelling to Tokyo in a week and can wait to be out in the streets! 🤩
Mate! Thanks a lot for a video, and especially for jazz soundtrack, you have a really good taste for my opinion. Thx, I become a new subscriber.
Japan is such an amazing trip, I want to go back so bad!
I’ve always been thinking how you see and captures things in Japan since the day I subscribed the channel. And now you’re Japan! My dream comes true 😂
Maybe you could discuss sometime how you plan and pack for a two month stay in another country?
Just awesome. Totally jealous. You really had the whole gang there!
This video awoke wild Wanderlust in me. Well done!
Man that photo at 0:39 is insane!!
Faizal and Aoki, that's a painting
This video felt good to watch, that’s the vibes I was getting
I really wanna visit Tokyo for the photography, so thank you for this video
Love the edit, the moments of silence were great.
Hopefully Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia will be your next destination to captured everything do you want 🥰
There is something about the light in Japan that is so different from anywhere else in the world. It's not for nothing that so many camera manufacturers are based in Japan. I wonder if you've come across In Praise of Shadows by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki?
Night shots so much better than day time shots.
Wow, welcome to Tokyo.
great video. I followed your posts on Instagram and was looking forward to the video. Congratulations
Been looking forward to this. Faizal in Japan. Awesome video!
Loved this! What camera are you using for POV?
The shot at 3:56 is killer. Great job as always Faizal!
hey faizal, great video, congraatsss!!! could u tell me which camera do you use for POV vlogs?
This vlog was so good! Look forward to more
Hi Faizal, when will you visit Australia and photograph Sydney?
this video is what I've been waiting for the whole year
so love the colours of this video😍
Great one Faizal! Seems I transfixed to Tokyo for 10 odd minutes! 😅
Wow you were with Roman Fox there!! 👀 7:31

Nice video, what is the tripod used in the intro? (Looks like a freewell or a photopro) I’m looking for a lightweight and fast opening tripod
Love this video! How did you achieve the effect at 7:48?
Hey Faizal. How are you enjoying the XT-5. Would you recommend buying one?
Very nice quality video!!!
I've just got here in the the few days ago!!! Wish to see you man!!!
Out of curiosity, what's your native language?
Rainy Tokyo is the best
Faizal the GOAT !
I'm reminded of.. 'Senses Working Overtime'
Great video. I love Tokyo, but when I was there I was just thinking like a tourist. My next time there it will be all street photography.
eyy, Roman Fox and a whole gang with you!
Damn the whole Japan street photography gang is there. So cool
for the POV video, did you use OP3 on the chest mount?
Great set!
my morning has been made !!!!
Welcome to Japan!
Amazing video, I loved it 😍
My soul is craving Japan 📸
the best of the best❤
Did you all get together and go on a group RUclips street photographers trip? Literally the amount of you guys posting vids there is insane
Yes! Tokyo! Yes!
do you use a chest mount for your osmo pocket 3? for pov shoots
So cool
Amazing!!
Wow cool stuff
Amazing!
X - T - FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE !!!
