Did you film the entirety of the cancan? If so, could you upload it please??

Hello, thank you for your videos. I’ve been doing photography for a few years, and I’m looking for some nice spots for street photography in the area. I’m watching you from Meudon, France.

I find your videos really interesting. I'm in the 1% of female viewers, and am a beginner at street photography. I'm also visiting Paris in February, so I enjoy seeing where you go and what you shoot :)

Hi Lazhar. The two women at 05:55 really caught my eye, maybe they were daughter and mother (turquoise jacket) or the younger woman was a carer for the older woman. The way she lead the older woman by the hand was an interesting dynamic (I think I would of followed them for a while). Also, I have been watching English photographers doing street photos in Paris. It is interesting to see what they see as outsiders. Stay well, my friend.

It is great to learn from you first hand experience of that Nikon camera. I prefer your Panasonic B/W photos in this case.

Good catch of photos (near Place d'Italie if I am not wrong), skillfully shot, all subjects all look very natural, undisturbed, which is very cool. Many thanks for sharing.

Hi Laz, been shooting for 7 or maybe 5 serious years, fujigang moving on to LUMIX s9 with sigma contemporary due to poor Fuji autofocus. Actually in Paris for this weekend mainly in 17th arr, live in miami, for now :) ... I enjoy how you create different challenges

I love your videos. Was still watching the previous video and am so glad a new one came out already! I’m a beginner, but have been very glad to not have you talk about the basics. I shoot with a Sony a6000 still, but frequently shoot at 24 (36mm ff equivalent) and will be trying out the Sony 40mm soon as well.

WOW! Very cool and informative video! Thank you!

Les photos super 😊 le cancan j’adore

Exactly made the same choice on going with the a7cii + 40mm 2.5 G because I wasn't happy with the AF on the x100vi. For still, x100vi was great but with two toddlers, it was pretty much useless unless I instructed them to stay still- which is impossible! Thank you for this pov!

Again, I enjoyed the video a lot. Your commentaries do help to get why you took the pictures as you did. Thanks a lot! Love that you put yourself to these challenges.

super ! on voit les danseuses du cancan de Monika !

HI Lazhar. It is good you are confronting issues in your videos that are a concern to you and that improve your photography as a result. This was a good theme to help with your having an introverted nature. The street corner with the purple wall was a perfect location to start as you had people coming from different directions and that was a good place to capture groups of people. The photo booth was a good opportunity to take pictures of people holding the photos they had done in booth, it is an idea you can always go back and do another time, especially if it is a couple. I liked the photo of the guy with the blue bag by the mail box. Plus, I now know that the mail boxes in Paris are yellow, compared to the red ones we have in London, and blue ones in New York. I think we take and create pictures depending on what we are doing, and sometimes, doing one leads to the other. The woman sitting by the fence amongst the crowd is my kind of photo as she looked totally out of place which made a good visual narrative (staying around a bit longer and shooting her from different angles could of been interesting). I liked the photo of the woman at 11:31 as it was simple which made it subtle. It came across that you enjoyed your day out taking pictures which is important, and as for the Can Can, it is lucky your camera had image stabilisation :-))) Sending good vibes my friend.

These photo walks and videos are a journey of self exploration and therapy for all of us

Good❤

what picture profile ? did u shoot on raw? amazing!!

Great video , next time dont forget to take a picture of the priest !

H Lazhar. Doing what you do best, starting with a theme and conveying your thoughts and influences as you go around. When I recognise someone you refer to I smile or if it is someone I don't know I go and look them up. I can see where you are going with the shot of the yellow bag :-) I hope you had a good weekend, my friend.

⁉️ Why hide faces? Every known artist uses faces as a important part to show feelings and emotions. You can take a foto of the legs or the back of a person. The pictures without faces I delete immediately -- it makes absolute no sense. 🇨🇭

Relaxed Sunday morning watching your video, people being people always make good photos, have a good day

The theme focused videos are great. And your comment is also, as you stay on track. Inspirational, thank you!

Nice photos man.. Yo, honest criticism...just how I felt watching the video.. When it started, I was into it.. Even when you were doing the warm-up shots, I was still into it.. But then you started talking about other photos and other videos and kids and books and ethics, etc etc... During that whole time, your video was still rolling tho.. But as you were talking, I was un-focused on what you were doing on the street, and I was totally removed from the "vibe / energy" you intended to bring us into, for the shots.. Just my opinion.. Stay a little more on track, a little more focused, and in the moment...for the viewer.

Esa combinación de camara y objetivo me encanta.la uso muchas veces y es genial

The three pictures that I liked the most from this session contains bikes. Maybe this is your calling? Think about it ;)) Inspirational as always, my friend! Thanks!

Great insights and perspectives!

Hope you're having a great weekend 📷😉

My first trip to Paris was made solely for the purpose of photography. Every video that I see reminds me of how beautiful a city it is. So many of your videos are right in the area that I photographed, from the 8th to the 3rd Arr. I look forward to being back again. Thank you for the wonderful posts.

Ces photos noir et blancs sont even better! Quel est le processus d'editting?

great job! Keep wowing us. I like your content a lot! Both of your over voice and photos are beautifully done, thank you.

Hi Lazhar. I like this video and a good idea from @RandomTech It is always interesting to watch a video like this because as a viewer one is looking for things to shoot from your own perspective as if you were there. The three women wearing coats that were red, green, and blue were worth stopping to ask for a shot with them lined up from left to right showing RGB, they can only say no, but once you explain an idea most people are happy to help. I liked the couple walking up the hill with the colour cast from the practicals through the window. Also, the padlocks on the fence using the angled foreground is one of the ways shooting this wide works best for me. Yes, maybe obvious, but that can be the right thing to do sometimes. The dirty frame is a favourite style of mine. The best thing to take from this video is that perseverance is rewarded, which you were, when the child on the bike with balloons came into frame. You must of been singing to yourself all the way home after that happened :-) Have a good weekend ahead, my friend.

Are those stairs at around 8 minutes where John Wick IV was filmed?

Glad you tried out my suggestion!! I thought your images came out fantastic! It's interesting that you also quickly figured out - it helps to have an object close in the foreground that fills in the frame. I thought the POV video quality was more than adequate. It just helps up better understand the environment - it doesn't need to be perfect. Keep up the great work!

Another fantastic video! I’ve been shooting F/8 and it can be a bit more challenging than I imagined! There’s a big festival on my street this weekend so I’m excited to try more F/8 shots!

❤❤❤❤❤❤

❤❤❤❤❤

great video again !

surprised you didn't snap the girl on the bike at 3:32 she had a great look with the coat :) the couple at 3:51 are such characters , like the shot at 5:13

How are you handling the personal rights of the f.e. the girl?

Interesting discussion, questions to think about. Lovely Paris. Thanks!

Hi Lazhar I understand this film as a free exercise for a specific purpose but I have a few observations: - covering heads, faces etc. by various elements of the city scenery does not seem natural to me - if we take a photo in so-called good faith, respecting the dignity of a person who is in public space according to such behavior is ok for me - I am shocked by the current mentality where image protection restricts the right to speech (when at the same time people themselves upload tons of their images to the internet), I think that the role of the media and publications is to shape a reasonable perspective and attitude of society, among others, towards photography - if we were to adopt the current schizophrenic standards - ban on photography and freedom of speech (with simultaneous unreasonable publications on the internet and omnipresent surveillance of cameras and other means of observation - which you rightly noticed) it would mean consent to further restrictions of freedom In general, I am in favor of photography taken with respect for other people (although there may be exceptions to this - documentation of special events) so that the 21st century can leave behind images that will serve future generations just as we do with photos from times past. As for digital manipulation and image transformation, the law should protect the citizen but it should also be properly addressed (e.g. not the photographer but the one who used algorithms to the detriment of the person and their image). I apologize for the long statement. Regards Raphael

Hey Lazhar, do you have any presets? I'd love to buy some from you! These photos are very nicely edited, love the vibe!

Hi Lazhar. I think it is important to practice taking pictures, no matter how long one has been shooting, and this video is a way of doing that and making it interesting. I practice verticals in pictures as I can overlook them sometimes. AI wont be able to create random events that take place on the street, although, we have to question whether or not to take the picture. An option for this video would of been to go to Roland Garros when a tournament was on. I will send you an image to the other place to explain. Have a good start to your week, my friend.

Good job again ! 🎉

I totally agree when you're saying that the history of photography can serve as a source of inspiration. I saw the amazing Chris Killip Retrospective in The Hague yesterday (which I cannot recommend enough!) and not only did it teach me once more how important moral and political attitudes are for the creation of a meaningful image; the exhibition also made me reconsider my own limited habits of composing an environmental portrait. And by the way - it's fascinating how those blurry foreground objects do not distract from the main subject of an image. On the contrary, by framing it, they even seem to make it stand out. There is a fascinating correlation between concealing and showing in an image. Very interesting technique, indeed!

Hi, I love your videos! They are really a great with this format and your comments are awesome. Keep it up! I would like to know if it's possible for you to let us know how you edit the photos for the colors, or if you use a specific picture profile, or maybe a Fuji emulation? Thank you!

I have the same camera and I hate the vlog-style screen. I find it hard shooting street with this screen. Attracts attention. Shame it doesn't come with the newer tilting screens.
