I love the way you take us along for a shoot as a journey with you, explaining the day, the story, the thought and intention behind every photograph. It's calming, its chill, its paced so well, and so incredibly artistic. Thank you Teo!!
keeping your grandmother and other travel mates in the shots make these much more unique (and memorable for you). i rarely take photos of "sights" without my travel companions, because the shots end up being not much different than standard postcards.
Awesome video and pictures!! But I find it's kinda funny when you chose a Kodak filmstock to shoot Mt Fuji instead of you know, an another whole line of filmstock NAMED after this mountain, lol.
The flowery shot of the mountain! Sure, it's the cliché view of Mount Fuji, but still, wow! I love how colourful the streets are and especially the inside of the train. So many details to take in.
I was so delighted to see that our small discussion sparked your interest in experimenting with more vertical shots :) Filling the bottom of the frame tends to be a challenge for me as well if there is no obvious foreground so I resort to shadows, cracks or street markings resembling lines which can be placed leading from the corners to the center (you did something similar with the cute little stream of water) or place something such as a manhole cover or a pothole in a corner. I sometimes crop my vertical shots as well to lessen the impact of an empty bottom or top. I definitely think you are right that the shot works better in square format which interestingly resembles the synthesis of our preferences.
And I LOVE the last shot! All elements falling into place in the composition is really satisfying to me. Even the small reflection at the top and the blurr at the bottom serve as a framing elements. Lighting and metering being perfect helps of course
Ahhh wonderful! :) I see thanks for sharing your thoughts - ohh I see, true I did do that with the stream haha. Haha indeed - good to know it seems to be common practice then🤔
photos came out fantastic! It's awesome to see you push outside of your comfort zone while still maintaining your own style. I could tell you to those photos from the last video. Excellent work buddy
Amazing video as always. I love how you dissect each photo and tell us your thoughts about it. Your voice and choice of music make for such a relaxing watch experience 🖤
Can honestly say you single-handedly got me into this medium. I used to dabble in photography when I met my wife but your channel has sparked that hobby again. Keep the content coming!!
I am currently trying to document our last month in Hangzhou, China on kodak gold 200. We've lived here for the last 7 years and it has become more of a home than our actual home. It's really sad moving away but we'll be nearby and having new adventures so I guess that'll be fun. Hopefully I can do Hangzhou & our memories of it justice. It's actually my first proper foray into film photography & and bought a 2nd hand huaxia Chinese made film camera, so that also makes it special. Anyway, all this is actually to say Thank you Teo. Your channel & content inspired me to try it out and to make photos that mean more to me than anyone else. I'm making photos for myself more and more because of you. I may try make a Teo Crawford inspired video about it.
6:12 It's not that the aspect ratio is wrong, but rather the focal length. I think it didn't really worked because the photo was shot too wide. Needed compression there right at the centre with a telephoto lens.
6:00 Can I propose that the reason you may not like this photo is the fact that the simplest elements are in the foreground, and the deeper you look down that road, it becomes a mess of tiny details Perhaps if you had taken even a few steps forward, the foreground would have been more harmonious in level of detail with the background. I’ve been loving following along with this japan trip
Ahh I see, I suppose it strongly depends on the subject too, so maybe it’s just the stuff that I like to photograph is usually better suited for horizontal?? I don’t know haha🤷🏻♂️😅
It is the first and most basic choice in composition yet due to the horizontal nature of our world (with our vision being horizontal and movement mostly occuring along a horizontal plane) it is highly impactful. I never gave it much thought until i compiled my favourite photographs and noticed almost all of them were shot in vertical.
dude i just stayed up all night watching your videos, went out on a planned phtography walk thing but i got paranoid bc i got no sleep and i only got one spot and came back home but its ok bc good photos
wassup teo i started watching you about a month ago i have a 5mp old sony digital camera and i would like to know what would a good budget digital camera to start off with since i want to get into more photography and your videos are amazing and is inspiring me to try and get better at taking photos from south africa btw
5:35 (vertical shot) I think I know why you dislike it without cropping the picture there is a lot of empty space at the top and bottom, which in turn makes the taxi feel tiny, so square crop removes that. And the tree on the right is big and dark compared to the rest of the picture resulting with it feeling quite heavy, along with the building next to it the two take up most of the right side of the frame which may cause the rest of the picture to feel off balance I still quite like it tho
Thank you!🥹🙏🏼 Ohh I don’t know whether you can get it online, but I bought it in a map shop close to Tokyo station - I believe it was called Buyodo. If you look up „map shop“ in Tokyo on Google Maps you‘ll probably find it quite easily🤔☺️
thank you for continuing to share your art. such inspiration! never thought of making a mood board for an EP but you recently inspired me to do so. much love

Man, the pacing of these videos and the photos are 👌🏻
Aww thanks Gene!🥹🙏🏼
3:50 looks amazing...I love the layering and sub-framing of Mt. Fuji, well done!
End of April during my Japan trip I spent 3 days in Kawaguchiko and had great fun photographing mount Fuji with everyday scenes and the lovely houses

the kids playing with bubbles and the mount fuji right behind gives such a beautiful and cute scenery ! great photo in my opinion !
This is awesome as usual Teo, thanks so much for sharing this!
You do what I hopefully want to do soon and you show it in a genuinely entertaining and therapeutic way, thank you!

I love the photo with the crowd on the foreground and mount Fuji in the background! Your videos are amazing! Thank you!
I like the relaxed nature of your videos :) really nice to watch late in the evening
The photograph at 3:50 looks amazing! The way the branches frame Mt. Fuji looks beautiful
Just found your channel after getting my fathers Nikon FE2 up and running. Love what you do and the clean style you have. Keep it up.
Can honestly say you single-handedly got me into this medium. I used to dabble in photography when I met my wife but your channel has sparked that hobby again. Keep the content coming!!
Always loved Fugi san. It’s even better when you hike him!
your grandma's accessories is so typical japanese and it's hella cute! i appreciate that you are taking her into your frames :)
Right!? I think it’s lovely, that’s why I shot the photos😍🙏🏼

I liked the video even before I started watching. I knew I’m not going to get disappointed, and I was right.
Lovely video! Mt. Fuji is such a sight to see🌸✨

so interesting regarding the horizontal vs portrait! i find myself recently gravitating towards shooting portraits but i used to prefer horizontal!
Ahh I see, I suppose it strongly depends on the subject too, so maybe it’s just the stuff that I like to photograph is usually better suited for horizontal?? I don’t know haha🤷🏻♂️😅

Hey what 35mm camera would you recommend?
First time shooting Kodak gold 200 and I’m wondering is it ok to use the automatic mode on my camera (canon 2000 rebel)
I'm probably opening a can here, but are you planning to get into medium format in the future?
In the future, yes, but probably quite far in the future - I just looove 35mm so much☺️
Do you meter each shot? I'm curious how you find the right exposure while being ready for the spontaneity that comes with street photography.
I think the shot you didn’t care for of Fuji would have been enhanced by more compression. Regardless, another wonderful and inspiring video!🙏🏼
Ahh interesting thought!🙌🏼 Thank you!🫶🏼
Beautiful video as always...where i could buy the map ?
Thank you!🥹🙏🏼 Ohh I don’t know whether you can get it online, but I bought it in a map shop close to Tokyo station - I believe it was called Buyodo. If you look up „map shop“ in Tokyo on Google Maps you‘ll probably find it quite easily🤔☺️
what lense was on the pentax?
Could you please tell me which song that is at 10:24? I play the piano and I would love to play this song.
Ohh cool! It’s called The last breath by Gavin Luke🙏🏼🙌🏼

Love from india Kashmir🤍
Thank you!🫶🏼☺️
Gradmum 😂😂😂 so woke!
Wait what? Is Grandmum an unusual way to call my Grandmum? I mean I do also say Granny but kind of weirdly switch around at times🤔
You're shooting mount Fuji and you use Kodak instead of Fujifilm...
I knooow😭 I didn’t bring any Fujifilm thinking I‘d stock up in Japan but then Fuji‘s production issues began and most shops were sold out of Fuji :(
thank you for continuing to share your art. such inspiration! never thought of making a mood board for an EP but you recently inspired me to do so. much love
