Willem, you're a really incredible interviewer. I know you did some podcasts with various other photographers but this as a video worked so well. Would be so keen to see more photographers talk with you about their photo books and other projects they're working on. It's also really nice to see work from different areas of the world whilst stuck in lock down 💞 thank you dude
it's so cool to me that she has a story behind why she chooses to shoot etherial night-time. I feel like a lot of photographers right now are making it cool to have subject matter that is vacant & lonely with some neon but she has a genuine story that adds to imagery to make it so much more special
Great to see a new upload from you. Love when you feature others, you always treat it with as much respect (if not more) as your own work and you always choose interesting subjects. This book sounds fascinating and those images were wonderful.
Thank you Willem for introducing Maria to me/us! I looove the mysterious style and feeling of the photos you showed us! Really enjoyed listening to the conversation :)🙌🏼
Just bought my first 110 camera, I’m so excited, your a really big inspiration! I do have a couple of 35mm cameras, mostly canon, but I’m excited to try something new! But these videos are amazing!
Loved the interview but I wish you could have ask some questions about the design process of the book, the difficulties she has to overcome from a technical point and some aesthetic choices. Stuff like that ✌️
Such a great interview man! Super interesting to see this as I'm currently shooting a little project about a tiny town right next to the one Maria shot hers at
Love this project! Very interesting to get to know the featured photographers, which are so different in their art and approach! I really appreciate that you showcase other artists. Sometimes people are in fear to do that or are too selfcentered to consider it. Keep on the great work, Willem!
You know it's got to feel pretty flattering when one of your photos get chosen to be the cover of a music album. The photo at 2:09 in the interview is the cover of an album called "The Universal Want" by a rock band called Doves. Both Maria's work and Doves music are highly recommend by me.
Looks like home. I'm in Oregon. The wooded parts outside the city get dark and foggy and there isn't much to see when the sun goes down. Just blind curves and the very occasional last chance gas station in the middle of nowhere. The mist rolling down from the mountain tops, rolling over the road like a funeral shroud til you can't see ten yards without fog lights. And even on clear nights you never know if that truck tailgaiting you is just trying to pass or if they're following you. You never know when a large animal might walk right in front of you. And if you take a curve too fast and eat shit, you're gone into the night and it might be years before they find you.
Hey does the customer service email on your website still work? I’ve emailed a few times over a month about a specific issue and haven’t received a response.
Might be the coolest name of a photo book I've ever heard.
Yup!
It is
@Luke Caldwell or a song
Willem, you're a really incredible interviewer. I know you did some podcasts with various other photographers but this as a video worked so well.

Seconding this. His podcast series was absolutely great and filled a nice space in the medium
🔥🔥🔥
agreed.
I was thinking the same. Willem is so down to earth when talking with people. I liked the different feel to this video.
She sounds so Irish at times
most likely Irish flatmates. i remember in the span of a couple of years at uni Greek Jason slowly but surely became Greek-Irish Jason lol
Was just thinking "huh so if a Finnish person moves to London...they sound Irish"
it's so cool to me that she has a story behind why she chooses to shoot etherial night-time. I feel like a lot of photographers right now are making it cool to have subject matter that is vacant & lonely with some neon but she has a genuine story that adds to imagery to make it so much more special
Wow! Photos are actually felt like taken from David Lynch’s movies. Incredible work!
I was having an argument with someone, I got the oatmeal boi Notificaton and walked away to watch #oatmealgang
Such a power move
Love the design of the book. Real beautiful storytelling as well
Her work is fantastic! I may have just bought her book. 🤭
Man's got interview skills
Well that was rad. What an artist. I love that paining on the wall behind her.
Pretty sure It’s a huskmitnavn painting
@@portrasoft Thanks!
Thanks! Painting is by Egle Zvirblyte.
Never been so early! Love Maria's work!
Mee Too
I bought the book!
I am a film based photographer from Finland!
A Finn living in the Uk speaking with an Irish accent
Finnish + Years of living in the UK
would make sense
DUDE, such an insightful interview 😮😮 love it, thanks for sharing
Great to see a new upload from you. Love when you feature others, you always treat it with as much respect (if not more) as your own work and you always choose interesting subjects.
This book sounds fascinating and those images were wonderful.
Just placed my order for a copy. UFO lore, photography, northern Finland and long nights. What could be better?
Vintage Photographer totally agree. I love night photography, I’m sure northern Finland would be amazing
Willem : “I hate to describe work as cinematic.” 😂😂😂
it’s such an overused word that it’s become cringe.
Thank you Willem for introducing Maria to me/us! I looove the mysterious style and feeling of the photos you showed us! Really enjoyed listening to the conversation :)🙌🏼
I was really missing the photo talks. Her book is so cool.
The darkness, lights, color, fog, and subjects are all beautiful. Great interview!
Just bought my first 110 camera, I’m so excited, your a really big inspiration! I do have a couple of 35mm cameras, mostly canon, but I’m excited to try something new! But these videos are amazing!
This book is amazing. So impressive with the flipping out photos too, inspiring!
I love photo books, and this one I'll be adding to my collection!
that talking head lighting + lens + grade looks soo good man
Very cool you’re featuring female film photographers. I appreciate it and excited to see more!
Super interesting subject for her to make a book about. Definitely going to pick up a copy. Thanks Willem and thanks Maria 👌🏼
Very interesting layout, so creative display of photos and newspaper. Very refreshing
Loved the interview but I wish you could have ask some questions about the design process of the book, the difficulties she has to overcome from a technical point and some aesthetic choices. Stuff like that ✌️
Such a great interview man! Super interesting to see this as
I'm currently shooting a little project about a tiny town right next to the one Maria shot hers at
I fell in love with this work and this story, it's just sooo magical and mysterious
Thank god I found your channel bro. Im starting to get into photography and you like the best guy to explain to me the world of it so thanks fam. :)
Thank you Willem for introducing me to yet another incredible photographer!
Dude woke up and straight away hopped on zoom with that hair and still killed the interview lol
Really love these photo talks please do more of these Willem they’re inspiring
Thank you for introducing us to do many great photographers
Great story and interview. I don’t buy many photo books, but I want this one.
Very fun to watch, and nice production! Her photos that you featured during the interview are awesome. Thank you!
thanks for the book recommendation, maria can really capture a mood
Awesome video again, gonna have to start photography
Woah this is surreal I literally got this book a few weeks agooo
my boy got the fresh fade.
quarantine clean so relax
What an interesting project and the design of the book is so tasty. Especially the hand scrawled notes and the taped-in photos. Really nice.
Love this project! Very interesting to get to know the featured photographers, which are so different in their art and approach! I really appreciate that you showcase other artists. Sometimes people are in fear to do that or are too selfcentered to consider it. Keep on the great work, Willem!
Thank you for sharing her inspiring work!
I’ve learned that a good photograph seems like it’s out of this world
what a book! beautiful! what a good book! Gives me David Lynch Vibes
You know it's got to feel pretty flattering when one of your photos get chosen to be the cover of a music album. The photo at 2:09 in the interview is the cover of an album called "The Universal Want" by a rock band called Doves. Both Maria's work and Doves music are highly recommend by me.
you're killing it bro, you really are, big respect!
Beautiful interview bro. Def going to be on my list for photo books to get!
Huge fan of Maria’s work. Great video ✨
Love her book, it's amazing
Great interview! I love the concept of her book and these amazing photos
I absolutely love this series, you're a fantastic interviewer. Also, I finally received my copy of Walking Svalbard, stunning. Keep up the great work.
Night time photography is so beautiful! I'm waiting for my scans now from my first time shooting portra at night!

Bro can you do more 35mm film photography ? I cant afford medium format where i live. Also can u do a video on fujicolor c200 ❤️
Fuji c200 Is so underrated. Beautiful reds and solid greens. Even holds up decently in darker scenes
I loved this video, my family is partly from finland and it seems so much like home to me
loved this
Seems to be a great book! I ordered a signed one right away!
I had to buy this as soon as I heard about the concept
Another book to the collection.
Insanely dope interview!!!!!
Love this interview brother. So much good stuff
Fantastic vid! Thanks

That book looks so intresting very creative with the editing
Dope interview man, got to bring the podcast back 👍🏽👍🏽

Lovely images. Are photography fans mostly using instagram to follow artists, or is there a better platform?
love the mystery in her photos! Great interview, Wilhelm. Digging the new hair too haha 😄
Please make a video for Ektar 100! I love watching your videos, they inspire me to go out and shoot! All the love from Turkey :)
he never misses man
This video is great! Found it super interesting how the pentagon just released UFO videos pretty much saying they are real!
It would be so cool if you did this same kind of thing with insvin, hes a photographer i found on twitter and has some really great work
Hey does the customer service email on your website still work? I’ve emailed a few times over a month about a specific issue and haven’t received a response.
I really really enjoy this interviews!!! Please don't ever stop doing them uwu
Incredibly cinematic! Where I can I buy the LUT? Do I also need Bokeh?
First time I've been super early, and I've been binging your videos cause I just got my first film camera
Amazing 💓💓
5 seconds into the video and I’m like “wow this haircut is everything!”
duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, great questions.
I like this vídeo a lot, it is a book so interesting.
Can you do a vídeo shotiing in Black and White or speaking whit someone who shoot it? Please
The image at 2:09 is the cover of the new Doves LP
This was a great video. I wonder if you think about doing more interviews on your podcast? (After covid of course)
Take a shot everytime she says "like" hahaha love the video man
damn I really want this book
If you made a video where you tried creating photos like hers I would love you eternaly
Great content!
that was amazing!
I think night photography is better than day.
oh yeah
At certain conditions and scenes. Yes
I am a beginner in film photography and have never got the balls for night photography. Thanks for the video!
try it out, just watch some videos on it. Grainy days has a good video about it. Good luck mate!!
