Gorgeous work, Faizal. Indonesia presents such amazing photography opportunities unlike most other places on earth. While it's very common to see RUclipsrs put up photos of Balinese temples and beaches, mountain-side tea and coffee plantations, volcanoes, etc. (the "Influencer Checklist"), it's very rare that someone takes the time to explore the backstreets and markets of a city like Yogyakarta. It's places like those that are the real magic of Indonesia, and you've captured it so beautifully. Also, your heritage has been a bit of a curiosity for me since finding your channel several years ago. I lived in Indonesia for over 10 years (the entirety of the 90s), and have been married to my wife of 31 years who's also from central Java. Your facial features have always reminded me so much of our 2 sons (who I imagine are somewhere around your age). And now I know why. 😊
I was expecting the "influencer checklist" then ended up choked up by the first minute. 🥺
Indonesia presents such amazing photography opportunities "unlike most other places on earth" - what are you talking about
Faizal, you are so incredibly talented at story telling and photography. It's such a pleasure to watch your content.
I'm from the UK but love Indonesia and have visited several times. Sulawesi, Borneo Kalimantan, Flores, Bali and more.
When in Bali recently I shot a lot of street and tried to avoid the Instagram spots where people were more interested in trying to photograph themselves rather than the beauty of what was in front of them. I ended up with a bunch of street and landscape photography I was really happy with. Beautiful people and many faceted, fascinating and varied country.
I was shooting Ricoh GRiiix and Nikon Z7.
Brilliant work. I am an adopted Indonesian, and by that I mean my best friend from college is from Indonesia and I married an Indonesian woman who had moved to America in primary school. We ended up working as expats in Jakarta for several years. I absolutely love Indonesia, the people, the food, the environment, the islands. We have family there and travel back when we can. Your shots really take me back. We loved Jogja. Peace.
What a beautiful video. A week before the world shut down in March 2020, I was fortunate enough to spend two weeks in the Yogyakarta area and will never forget the people, landscape, food, sounds, smells, and deep history. Thanks for taking me back with this video.
Being born and raised in Yogyakarta is a wholesome feeling. I felt like living here surrounded by the atmosphere (it is different from another city)The people, place, and weather are just enough for me. Hope you enjoy the trip!
The last time I was in Indonesia it turned into a family visit (as it always does). Good to see it from a new perspective. Makes me want to go back
Thank you for giving us an insight into your personal life, Faizal. Have always loved your work and foun this video very comforting! ❤
Loved this! The ambient music accentuated the emotive B&W textures and perspectives... you have a wonderful eye.
Finally, I’ve been waiting for this video for such a long time, thanks for uploading this, such a beautiful pov from you 🙌🏻✌🏻
Ugh finally faizal is back!!! As always, great job with this video Faizal!
Been waiting for this video! Was mesmerised by your photos in Instagram
Thank you so much, Faizal! Been waiting for this 🤍
Great video man! I spent some time in Jakarta as well over two years as a teen while my dad was working there and loved it. What I remember the most is that Indonesia was the first Muslim majority country I had ever spent an extended time in so it was really great experiencing all the different cultural norms and but learning how similar we are from the locals. On a side note, I really love that Wotancraft Pilot messenger, would you ever do a longer video on it? I tend to travel with one large duffle or backpack at around 40L to get into the carry on and have been tempted to see if I could fit my gear in that bag and use it like a little insert when removing the strap- or if I am travelling with a roller and small backpack, how well it would fit empty and squished into luggage.
I currently live far away from home right now. Watching this video has been very calming for me. I would've never guessed that one of my favorite photographers also has roots in my hometown. I think that's really cool. Such a small world.
This is something that worries me about street photography though: if we are uncomfortable with publicly sharing photos of our family going about their business, what is the ethics of taking photos of random strangers and putting them online? I am not trying to be critical. I love your photos. This is a dilemma that constantly runs through my own mind when I try to engage in street photography. I wonder what your perspective on this is?
If it challenges your ethics then you certainly should listen to your intuition. I’d recommend still going about street photography, but respecting people’s anonymity. Try taking photos from behind, obscuring their face with something, silhouettes, etc. I personally think constraints are where true innovation and creativity come from and should be embraced 😊
This is fantastic!! Great work Faizal.
Wow .... Thank you, Faizal, for sharing such personal and emotional experience. It was truly touching ...
Truly gorgeous. Great feel to these shots.
I enjoy your videos. Thanks for taking us along.
I spent 2 months this year on Indonesia, of which like 9 days in Jakarta. Did a bunch of photography at night there in the small and dark alleys, also made a YT video about it. Had really a great time and the people were so kind and interested.
I enjoyed this video!
Just yesterday I've been in Malioboro taking pictures, albeit at night. Great video, I always wondering how your photography style in Indonesia would looks like, and I was happy after you finally made the video.
Wonderful video and amazing street shots! Thanks for sharing your journey!
Finally!! That i was waiting for, the great video and also photos is so amazing, if you coming again to indonesia i hope i can meet you faizal, best regrads from indonesia🖤
Beautiful work. Tokyo is everything. Enjoy every second man ❤️
You’re a great inspiration!!! Thank you for sharing your talent and opinions
Emotional trip, I can feel it. I enjoy your videos for quite some time Faizal, but this is one is special. I went to Indonesia long time ago, for both work and leasure, always loved it. At the time I was shooting films and I feel like it was appropriate although I had no other choice by then. But if I were to return there, I may choose to shoot films again. Great to follow you, as always !
Hi Faizal, i'm Indonesian street photographer and i have following your channel since 3 years ago. I'm so glad you're visiting my country and i will accompany you if you want to see Indonesia deeply, especially Jakarta. Cheers✌
Loved watching this video of life in Indonesia ,Interesting and well put together photography of the markets
Semoga bisa meet n greet sharing² pengalaman di Indonesia 😊❤
I love your view of the world so mutch! Thank you for sharing it!
Great video Faizal. I had the opportunity to visit Jogja recently and loved this video. My first shots were on Malioboro where your video started; loved the energy there both day and in the evening. Great flashbacks. Bagus bagus!
Thank you faizal for visiting indonesia and I hope u comeback to indonesia again
Sensory overload indeed! Love your work man, much love from Indo! 🇮🇩
Earned a sub with this one! I really vibe with your style and everything is beautifully edited and shot. I have a one way to Thailand in a few weeks and I’m so jazzed to get over to Asia and make some photos.
selamat datang kemabli faizal, it was a great story and experince u got. cool and heartwarming as always !! Terima kasih
i cant stop watching your art it's so beautiful, keep it up king❤
Loved seeing your photos from your point of view. You had some dope shots.
Love your perspective!
Great video! Makes me want to travel there.
Beautiful work!
As an Indonesian and long time follower, I'm secretly waiting for this for a long time!
watching this from indonesia while trying to figure what to shoot with my xt5...such a coincidence! thanks for the inspiration.
Absolutely amazing and beautiful ❤
I particularly like the style of this video in the street experience. I like to see the overall scene in the video and then see how you've composed the image in your still photos. One photo that struck me was the worn, blue mosaic floor you found; I didn't like the video scene, but the floor opened my eyes to seeing the possibility you found.
Great video & story, Faisal !
I'm glad we could meet at Malioboro back then. Still couldn't believe i can say thanks to you in person!
0:25 concerned look on his face even as a kid
Cool work man as an indonesian street photographer love how the way you navigate through the chaos of our streets 😂
Very nice. I lived in Indonesia for five years as a child. It has been a very long time since I've gone back.
Great story telling , love your work 👌
Hi faizal !
I love your work and a big fan from indonesia
Greetings from bali

Simply inspiring, come to Mexico! I'll take you to an awesome, ancient place!
glad you shared this video !
Sudah lama menunggu, great video and photos!
even you photo a bucket on a food stall feels different, i see it everyday and see nothing special on it, but through your video then i can understand which perspective we need to take as a photographer, thanks Faizal
stunning work @ Frizel ‘ 😢😊 i understand the moments tell the story, but the asmr images • Of your personal story/ life.
As an owner of an X-T1 seeing how the 27mm looks on your 5 makes me want to buy one now.
If possible then please do come to India as well. would love to come along with you for all the photowalks that you do here. i am sure i can learn a bit from you. love how you see the light and use it.
Love from Indonesia
Its awesome to see youre in South East Asia particularly in Indonesia, So youre an Indo were brothers, Nice to see Indonesia in your video, indonesia looks very similar to Philippines and its amazing! I love this video Man!!! Because the mood the ambience is very familiar i can relate... more vids like this please!!
Very cool video - reminds me of the time I spent in Manila.
Hi.. I'm following you for these 2 years. I'm from Indonesia and I love your channel . So you're really has a real Indonesian name?. I thought it was so coincidence in the beginning for someone has a name like that 😂. So you're really here. Cheers man.
Amazing work brother
The BW photos always convey depth and emotion. I hope can met you when you go to Bali next time and do a photo walks 👍
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
😁 next time we link up in Bali
Excelent Faizal👏👏
Omg great work Faizal! Love from my country Indonesia ❤❤ keep it up 👌
Also did not know you have that indonesian blood in you 😅 proud of you
Wow! At 3:36 I had a feeling of déja-vu thinking "well, that looks like the centre of Jogja" - a fresh memory since I visited in June with my girlfriend to visit Borobudur, Mendut and Prambanan - and, voilà, at 3:40 it's revealed that it's indeed that! It's a shame that I didn't walk around Malioboro much - spent more time inside the City Mall to help with shopping haha - but I'll never forget the shots of the Kraton's white gates and walls taken from the taxi. Damn, what a beautiful city and it's so nice to relive the memories through this video.
I love it, so much feel in your images!
How would you compare shooting with the 27mm pancake on the X-T5 body compared to shooting with the X100V? In this type of outdoors street photography in the middle of the day I figured that it shouldn't be too different, despite the improved sensor. And while I haven't checked it out I still figure that the quality of that pancake should be roughly the same as the one on the X100V, just the little longer focal length.
Reason I am asking is that I will probably be purchasing the X-T5 to complement the X100V and would be interesting to hear about the differences in these street photography situations with the pancake lens!
Love it mate! Did you use a certain preset pack on these shots or took some from all your packs? Cheers mate Matt
Sayur awesome! 🔥
Fabulous !!!!
See you next time in Indonesia, Hopefully can meet you someday in person 🇮🇩
Dear Faizal, thank you for the wonderful video. Please tell me, which lenses work best with the 40 megapixel X-T5 matrix? Thank you ❤

Getting a XT5 for my daily 🎉
Hey man, first of all I want to say that I really liked this video. I like more emotional and less "sterile" approaches to photo- and videography, and what you captured just hit the mark for me. I'm currently in the market for a camera, which apart from my phone and an old crappy camcorder will be my first camera. Currently i'm rather indecisive about whether I should buy the Sony a6700 or the X-T5. I assume to be shooting about 65% photo and and 35% video and want to travel with my kit. I'm already kind of sold on the X-T5's performance and that nice sensor, more and more leaning towards not needing 4k120 that the Sony offers. However I am a bit spooked by online reviews and opinions that tend to label the Fuji's AF as a bit hindering or at least significantly worse than the Sony's. I'm interested in street photography and videography with rather fast moving subjects like cars, busses and pedestrians etc. As a beginner, I would rely heavy on the AF for both photo and video. My question now is: Do you think or even have experienced that the Fuji's AF is sufficient for that. And I don't mean just barely holding up but really working well. I would really appreciate a reply also by other viewers.
thanks a lot in advance
Greetings from Germany
Thanks for visiting Indonesia and explore the beauty of it through your eyes. Majestic and calming outcome, as always. Cheers from Surabaya, Indonesia.
mantapp kang. keren artworknya
Hey Faizal, what do you think is the best setting for street photography? focal range, shutter speed and iso?
P.S: I LOVE your videos man!
Muy buenas fotos
yooooooo crazyyyyy
It's always great to watch your video. I'm from Indonesia myself. Just wondering, do you speak any Indonesian?
semoga bisa mampir lagi bangg next time sharing2 ilmu 😁
Faizal, you are a pure drop in the ocean of noise that is YT.
