the SOHO chapter is actually crazy. Whatever you did you perfectly dialed in night filming. The composition for the shots, the bridges with slow framed clips and the general color grading really makes it feel like you're there, experiencing it for yourself. amazing job man
absolutely loving the "in motion" approach you've been taking in your videos. it takes your already great ability to capture real human moments and lends itself to the context of film. would love to see just a long form version of that. congrats on the great work as always!
One of my fav videos you’ve done! All the video bits; the colors, the different angles and things you capture, the editing with photos to tell a story. 🎉 beautiful to watch. Thanks!
Welcome to London. I live outside London and there's lots to see here. Here's a few interesting locations. * Brick Lane and surrounding areas * Brixton * Covent Garden * Battersea Power Station * Tate Modern * Borough Market * Greenwich * Natural History Museum and pretty much all major museums are worth a look. Enjoy your stay.
I didn't like the first few pictures and thought "here we go again - another RUclips photographer dialling-in ordinary shots". And then you started having one really lovely, smart shot after another. And now I'm feeling inspired to get out into London today, despite the forecast rain, to see what I can photo! Great stuff.
The magic you bring to the video, cinematic excellence. I forgot I was watching a RUclips video about street photography! Absolutely love the Soho video section. BIG hit on the sub button, can't wait for more!
Love the abstract b-roll in the Soho section. Also that shot with the single stiletto with the blurred movement around it is great. Always interesting to see how other photographers approach a city you know so well. Looking forward to the future videos.
Hi Faizal. A belated welcome to my hometown. It was inevitable that you'd step on a few visual bear traps initially as a visitor. However, I'm glad you soon overcame that. Shooting through acid stained glass was beautiful. There are thirty three boroughs in London and it's difficult to know where to go, but, that's also something to look forward to on a return trip. Looking at how you perceived London was very interesting for someone who was raised here.
if you've got time, I think Battersea Power Station would be a cool spot to visit. A beautiful landmark and now with a lot of buzz around it because of the new shopping center and flats/offices surrounding. Also, some great cities like Liverpool and Manchester would be worth a visit. Perhaps a vibrant football (soccer) match would be a cool thing to shoot pre-match too.
I’m a Londoner, so might see you around. You should take some photos of The City (ie the Financial Centre in postcode EC1). My favourite building to take photos in The City of is the Lloyd’s Bank Building.
Your video production and score selection are a wonderful match... both expressing a creative energy and fluidity. A very pleasing composition, well done. I look forward to the next installment.
You need to have a weekend at the seaside while you are here, I would sugest up north for a bit for a change but I live in Blackpool so a little bias, Brighton is not too far from London but a world away.
Welcome to London, I see you've met up with Eren, his Across Japan book is brilliant. If the weathers poor, head to the Underground - visit Baker Street, Canary Wharf and take in St Pancras. I'm in town Wednesday afternoon and evening. I'll look out for you. You keep posting, I'll keep looking. Oh! Your video colour stripes excellent, and the music too. Thank you.
I love how the aspect ratio got widened half way of the vid like diving into a great story. also great music choice. really enjoyed this. can't wait to see more!
man. your work is always so beautifully packaged. such great inspiration. as someone that lives in London i probably have lost that excitement and inspiration doing street photography here, i much prefer in other countries/cities as it's 'new', but this has given me a few more ideas! thanks as always.
your contents are the reason why I entered photography and I've been depressed lately, it helped me a lot it gave me a sense of purpose pls keep making videos on youtube to inpsire others to do photography too p.s. sorry for the bad english shout out from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Enjoy London! I had the privilege of living there for a few years and only love it more after my time there. Make sure to venture out of the center and enjoy some of the less popular neighborhoods too. I know you've got good connections there who will help you find these gems.
Absolutely gorgeous shots Faizal! It's so interesting to see the place I call home through other eyes. Will keep an eye out for you when I'm out and about shooting this weekend!
A route suggestion for you would be to start out at Columbia road flower market (only open on Sundays), making your way to Brick lane via Boundry gardens you could then head towards Spitalfields, finishing your day off with a walk around the Barbican estate and St Pauls.
I recently found you here on RUclips and I love your street photography videos! This one was amazing!!! My favorite was the black and white photo of the car and street below through the window!😍 It made me think of the Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch version!)
Faizal, I’ve been binging your videos all weekend. Love your content, I’ve been learning a lot! Looking forward to the next edit. Keep up the amazing work!
watching your video after a long working day is great, also you made me think of having a Fujifilm for the 1st time (I always use Sony). Wish you creativity and inspiration everyday!
Love the mood and style of this vid! I lived in Melbourne for about 2 years and I was shooting pretty much every day. However, since I moved back to my home country Sweden, I haven´t been shooting street photos since April 2019 as the lack of motivation. Keep it up! This inspire me to bring my camera out again :)
Hi Faizal, Great to see you here in London. Love you work. Only been here a few days and already capturing great moments in London. Maybe try the Barbican in the morning. It's a really unique brutallist area of the city. Feels like a 70s Sci fi movie.
Wow Faizal what a beautiful video 😍 looking forward to seeing what new ideas you have planned. Seeing as you’re staying for a while why not come up to Manchester for the day, I’m sure you’d find it great for street photography and I’d be happy to show you around. Keep up the great work 🤩
Looks like so far you’ve mainly checked out West end and West Central and got some nice vibes. If you liked the vibe of Soho and Carnaby St, then going east to say Shoreditch/Spitalfields/Brick Lane would be interesting. Some of the best parts of London are the ones that are on the edges of gentrification, such as Brixton and Elephant and Castle, and I’m sure you are already planning to go. I wish you all he best and hope to catch you on the streets soon!
I loved this one! Seems like you stepped up to a whole new quality level. Looking forward to seeing more, but also enjoy your stay in london. Take care!
I just love everything about it, you motivate me so much. Thankyou. Hopefully i can meet you some day and talk about photography. Keep going! Greetings from Madelein :)
I’ve been to London a few times but i’m always uninspired to shoot! 😢 why you sooo gooood! This really is so inspiring! I wanna go there and do some photowalk now! T_T
Most excellent work, really enjoying your videos, if you fancy a short break from London you could always come up to Glasgow for a day or two, such a different city and vibe. Anyway enjoy your stay in London 😀🏴

Such a killer edit man. It's awesome seeing your filmmaking skills develop!
3:31 - the guy staring out of the window would be such a perfect subject for a cinematic photo.

That Wong Kar-Wai- inspired step printing just hits different 😌
Rainy photography in London is the best

5:23 reminded me so much of wong kar wai's cheung king express. So gorgeous!
The best London 'street' video I have seen in a long time.
if you have time, please come to brighton for a day or so. the atmosphere is always great
One of my favorite places in the world. Enjoy your stay! Videos looking incredible 🤌🏻
Love so much the Soho part of the video !
The music, the mood, the way it’s filmed 🤩

Great to see your in London! Lovely video in this as well. Nicely done man.
I'm so grateful that you decided to visit London. It's a pleasure to watch your street videos&photos there. I'm looking forward to more... love it

Oh I rang the bell so hard after seeing that video. Thank you so much for posting!
You've captured so much of what London is, ever changing, but so familiar
You’re doing my city proud Faizal, really liking the video work too. Zero stabilisation really adds to the vibe… 👊🏻
Your video production and score selection are a wonderful match... both expressing a creative energy and fluidity. A very pleasing composition, well done. I look forward to the next installment.
love the music and vibe
You need to have a weekend at the seaside while you are here, I would sugest up north for a bit for a change but I live in Blackpool so a little bias, Brighton is not too far from London but a world away.
Just came back from London 2 weeks ago and this video is making me miss it! Great shots!

Great frames Faizal. I love them. Saul Leiter lives!
A fantastic sequence of shots and footage; nice work!

Really loved this film & how you put it together & the perfect music.
Cant wait for all video!!!!!
Loved the atmosphere during the night scenes. Great music and visuals!
Wow! Those photos were all amazing. I should take inspiration in your ways to go about in the street!
Oh wow, this was so beautiful to watch! Love your content ❤
I always love seeing a place I know well from a new set of eyes!
Welcome to London! I wouldn't hold your breath on the sun returning anytime soon... 🌧

Very nice - I particularly enjoyed the content at night. Hope you're enjoying your stay here in London.
it’s such a pleasure to watch your videos. the night time footage is outstanding ❤
Really dig the Soho part, feels like watching Wong Kar-wai's films. This video might be my fav of yours so far.
Love your introspective videos. Thanks.
beautiful vid man. love the cinematic style edit
I love your voice as always
Great video and great mixture of photos and video sequences...
watching your video after a long working day is great, also you made me think of having a Fujifilm for the 1st time (I always use Sony). Wish you creativity and inspiration everyday!
Fabulous work-loved the video and slo-mo clips at night.
Some of those had that Joshua K. Jackson vibes. Loved it.
Another amazing video, Faizal! Wonderful editing, and incredible photos!
Love the mood and style of this vid!

love the soho b roll at 5:23.
Love these photos Faizal!
Great stuff man. Try get out of the centre of London if you can. Greenwich, Wood Green, Bounds Green etc.
Incredible video Faizal! Looks & sounds beautiful.
Hi Faizal,
Great to see you here in London. Love you work. Only been here a few days and already capturing great moments in London. Maybe try the Barbican in the morning. It's a really unique brutallist area of the city. Feels like a 70s Sci fi movie.
I was there in barbican the other day, what a cool area haha
great video man! loved the psychedelic vibes at the end there. Was tripping me out haha
When you've had one too many in Soho 🤣
@@FaizalWestcott Sounds like it! haha
I love this. Great job with the edit.
The moment I saw these photos you share on Instagram, I can't wait to see the London video! Great work as always Faizal.
Amazing video Faizal! Really excited to see more of your photos from London!
Really nicely edited and put together Faizal! Enjoy your time in London!
I am pleased you are in London I live just outside east London and do street photography with my Nikon D5500 camera
Great video. Loved the night sequence in soho. The pics, music, and especially the videos and editing. Well done. Can't wait to see what's next :)
Awesome video! beautifully shot and edited! Loved it!
Awesome Fayzal! Good job on the edit of the video!
Wow Faizal what a beautiful video 😍 looking forward to seeing what new ideas you have planned. Seeing as you’re staying for a while why not come up to Manchester for the day, I’m sure you’d find it great for street photography and I’d be happy to show you around. Keep up the great work 🤩

Fabulous work, just loved it.

Most excellent work, really enjoying your videos, if you fancy a short break from London you could always come up to Glasgow for a day or two, such a different city and vibe. Anyway enjoy your stay in London 😀🏴
This is bloody brilliant, are you linking up with the Framelines guys?
Also, will you release Analog pack 4.0 for C1?
Fantastic video. Love the images.
Amazing video as always. Planning to visit London soon as well.
Great video and amazing photos!
