Enjoying the night, eating, drinking, talking about their passion, and of course doing street photography! This is the kind of videos that i like, wonderful. I really like your shots guys!
Glad you liked it!
I really liked this guy .. he's so authentic and just explains everything so calm and it's really interesting to see trough his eyes
Saw the 38:33 time and thought maybe it’s too long, I’m tired, it’s bedtime..... Stays for whole video and wishes it wasn’t finished.
Good video as always.
Thank you!!! That's the best compliment when people watch it through the end :)
Samee
1.5X always!
Lukasz!!! You shot with a legend! This looked super fun, thanks for filming it! :)
Wow, 'legend'!! I am honored! :D
What's up Jason! Cool to see you here! Yes, Lukasz is a legend :D
This guy's portfolio gives me Enter the Void vibes. Stunning pictures.
Thanks!! :D I am definitely a fan of that movie!
@ジョージ様 Thanks!!
Yes, exactly. I was trying to remember the name of that movie
this is exactly what's on my mind watching this
Where can i see his portfolio?
So much respect for Lukaz and his photography style. The output from this guy is phenomenal. It would be cool if you met up with him again. ✌️
:)
After 15:45 Was drunk street photography
haha
25:40 The fact that he can’t figure out to just flip his camera 180deg 😂
Haha no idea why I didn't figure it out :D
The amount of passion Lukasz has for the little things is intoxicating and very influential. Great footage of him explaining himself and show what he loves to do.
Shooting Cinestill at night in any Asian country is a photography cheatcode
I love Tokyo at night. It's very photogenic.
I can't tell you how inspirational your videos are. You're superb at drawing out the expertise of some incredible street shooters. Many thanks, sir!
Thanks so much Harry! :)
nerds talking about settings, nice
Which is very important.
Stick with your iphone.
Now that I can relate.
I've been going to Tokyo since 1977. I go regularly every 2 years.. I love this place. I will be there next October. Tokyo by night is great. Great video thanks.
This is my favorite video I think...Just wow, lukasz is such an artist. We don't get many like him folks make sure you support this guy.
Thanks for the kind words man!! :)
This is probably the best night urban shooting I've watched by far. So many composition ideas! Thanks to both of you! Subbed!🤙
Super enjoyable vid Sam. Lukas seems like a cool ass dude to chill with, with or without street photography in mind.
28:37 Amazing photo!!!...
28:37 was a pure money shot. very nice mood, esp with the cinestill.
Thanks! I knew it would look awesome because of CineStill and I'm happy it worked.
DaDonFather true, that was a really nice fucking photo
I did one of his photo adventures while I was in Tokyo last month. Talented photographer and a good dude!
Thanks for the kind words man!! :)
What a great video. So informative. I have nothing like his D4 but I own a D610. I'm going to experiment with what I learned from this video.
Oh I actually guessed the Minolta CLE when you posted the blurred photo 👍 I definitely spent too much time thinking about it 🙈
Yo I've been rewatchng this vid for the cool Japanese couple drinking sake lol
Make me want to do street photography with 28mm more. Those shots are amazing 😍
This makes me nervous to go to Tokyo...because I think every time I turn my head I'll want to take another photo. It'll take me hours to go down a single street 😆 Thanks for this tour-beautiful shots!
So this is what mustafi is doing when he isn't in the team
Really love his perspective regarding equipment. "If I don't have it, I don't worry about it." I'm just getting into photography and it's really hard to decide what kind of gear to get, especially when you're on a budget. I'm guessing that this is a rookie thing, but I've always thought that I need a high aperture lens to take great pictures; clearly, this isn't the case! At the end of the day, photography should be a fun thing to do and we should just make the best of the equipment we have! :)
You hit the nail on the head! :)
Josh as said you hit the nail. In the beginning i had to work hard with the kit lens. Was great. It forces you to think about everything extra hard. Then some friends needed pictures. And they paid a little bit. Then i bought a second hand lens and started building more and more. Must admit begin days the beginning was cool!
@@samirzekanovic4127 I look back at my earlier work and now appreciate how much work I put into making the most of the cheap kit lenses I had at the time. The faster lenses are wonderful, for sure, but sometimes I feel like I can be lazy and lean on things like shallow depth of field to easily add depth and interest to my shots.
He looks like Rick from the walking dead lol
All polish man 30+ yo with beard looks like Rick :d
@@PanBlockhead looks like Joe Goldberg from You in my opinion
Lukasz is damn good at street. Cool you got to tour around with him, and thanks for the video. Definitely added his channel as a subscription. You got a few film keeper's too. Thumbs up.
Thank you so much for the kind words!! :D
Cool video the quality of the video is so therapeutic may I know what camera are you using?
Everyone has a backstory. I want to know the story of the guy with headphones, walking, wearing an overcoat and umbrella in 7:17
The videography often looked better than the photography, which should make us aware that soon the video will be where we pull our still frames from. I mean, 108MP phone cameras already. "Photography" will become even more about your "eye", your ability to select and crop and edit interesting moments.
That's depressing
This is the place where I always shoot. I don't shoot much at night. I would like to take a picture now.
Great video!! the way lukasz talks reminds me a lot of Roger Federer 😂
Asian cities definitely are the street photography hubs. Cuz they are safe to to that even during the midnight in an alley. If you do the same thing at the same time in NYC or LA, you are 100% taking the risk, I never do street photography at night in NYC, cuz I don't want my camera or my personal items get robbed !!!!
True, but it doesn't have to be midnight for it to be night time. In the winter it gets dark at like 5/6pm no?
@@LukaszPalkaPhoto Yes, it is getting dark around 5pm right now, but after the daylight saving, day time will last longer. Making street photography in the evening in NYC is still safe.But I think , for street photography, NYC daytime is much better than the night time. Cuz NYC doesn't have that many colorful neon lights in the city like Tokyo,Hong Kong or other Asian cities.
“Its like the citys fungus growing” thats the best description I’ve ever heard / if you want to drink in the streets you can also visit Lisbon, one of Europe’s last free-drinking bastions 🤣 (after covid please)
Please!!! do more videos like this
He look s like rick in the walking dead .. and like the guy .. i don't remember his .. name .. in the serie called you .. if you agree hit the like botton
Lukas' video of him shooting the streets were one of my first actual exposures to candid photography. Respect to an OG.
Thanks man!! :D
I've rewatched this video several times at this point. I love watching the process and hearing the thoughts behind the photo, it's really cool to see, glad you guys met up again to make more videos!
This was so much fun. He loves the city and you can really tell. The compulsion to really explore a subject comes out of that appreciation
Samuel, your Ricoh shot of the dark alleyway with the three white signs was so nice! moooooooody..
Fun video but that camera is as loud as a gun shot.
That's my favorite thing about it!! :)
@@LukaszPalkaPhoto the best thing to take pictures is to listen to the noise of the mirror ... is what I like most about my D750...! Nice D4!!! Peace and Good
@@elultimode4 I agree! It's such a satisfying click. My D3 was even better, but sadly it died.
I have a Praktica BC1 with a extremely noisy motor winder for street photography. I use it to get annoyed facial expressions from my photo subjects.
@@bonghungk7544 Nice one! :)
¨You should go before some Yakuzas come and fuck us up¨ jajaja
Woow...awesome. Ameyocho had been always my favorite. I use Fuji X-T30 with 35mm.
It cracked me up when a little subtitle came up saying "fu*King gaijin" 😁 😁 I was thinking that's exactly what the shopkeeper is thinking.
This video is a gem on your channel!
Opened my eyes about night street photography. Love how Lukasz share about his vision, techniques, down to the camera settings and reasons why a D4, lol! You guys seems had a fun long night 😁
Hey, thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
He's a master of the alleys Samuel. Awesome video as always!
Thank you :)
wow really informative video
seemed like a really nice guy too.
and to be honest u got some decent analog shots out of the roll as well.
Thoroughly enjoyed this one.
Glad to hear that!
That first video where Lukasz appeared for the first time on youtube has become quite legendary
:)
This is how I discovered him, too. So glad I had the chance to shoot a video together!
@@SamuelStreetlife mee to :)
This was great and engaging all the way. (:
Seemed like a long night! Roughly when did yall start and finish shooting?
It was like 4 hours or so I think.
Very cool, I picked up a few pointers. Hope to go to Japan again soon.
Lukasz Palka is a very good street photographer. Last October, I took his Cyberpunk tour of Shinjuku/Shibuya. It was definitely worth it because he brings you to special places that you wouldn't discover on your own. I highly recommend his photo tours, it's worth every penny...
Thanks Enrique!
Excelent video , i found it from no were... and i just love it. Now i have a new goal, visit Tokyo and shoot at night , maybe i´ll find those amanzing places. Thanks Samuel, cheers from México.
This video could have been 3 hours long and I would have loved it. God damn. Thank you so much for this upload. Truly inspiring and simply lovely to watch!
With lockdown in full force, your video was so important and helpful for me. I felt transported to another world, a world of learning, light and shadow. People and sounds, smiles and a tiny bit of fear. "We better go before the Yakuza F us up" :) Thank you both for this experience. I want to visit Tokyo so bad and do a workshop with you Lukas. I love your shooting style, both of you take good advantage of the tools, analogue and digital. Best wishes to you Sam and Lukas, and thanks again for this slice of art.
Thank you Brandon for your lovely comment! I am very happy to hear that my video made your lockdown a little brighter. This is exactly what I want my videos to accomplish. You should definitely give Tokyo a visit and I'm sure Lukasz will be thrilled to have you as a workshop participant. Let's hope we can all go back to our normal lives soon and enjoy photography. Best wishes from germany, Samuel.
Thank you so much for all the kind words!! :)
That sticker is just saying that the surveillance camera is working.
監視カメラ作動中
Thanks for clearing that up :D
I put this on every morning when I get to work. It’s a weirdly meditative and calming way to start the day
Absolutely true!
Yeah right @deathintheballs!
May I also suggest recent japan series by @itchban. Also very meditative, very chill, great music and photos.
There's something special about Tokyo at night. Thx for the flashbacks.
This is still one my favourite videos on UA-cam
wow thank you!
This is interesting I feel strange carrying around my Nikon d3300 in London ( my home) but abroad I don't. Would prefer a smaller and discrete camera for my home city 😅
The shot with the woman on the bicycle is sick imo
I know nothing about photography yet I still watched till the end. There's something about capturing the look of the city without a filter (gritty) - this is good stuff.
Glad to hear that! :)
I just bought the Ricoh gr iii , I think you brainwashed me so ask Ricoh for your %, ha ha!
Haha love it! :)
The most interesting street photography video I’ve seen yet, your choice of a CLE is spot on, I can’t see how a pure Leica with its clumsy film loading is what you need in the dark !
I’ve used mine for working for years in poor lighting, where no mirror and a near silent shutter gives you extra stops ...
Great vibe and atmosphere, you worked well together !
Enjoy you tour at Tokyo I give you my support..my new friend
Lukasz kinda looks like Penn Badgley (Joe from You)
Wonderful! I've been following this guy for awhile now so pleasant surprise. Also good job with those golf clubs.. 😂
Also Sam, lovely shots with the CLE!
Thanks! I wish we showed the death stare we got from the store clerk, haha! :)
Lukasz Palka Oh I know it well enough in Fukuoka 😂
If you play the video after 15:37 at 0,5x speed, you get the true drunken street photography style. :D
Hahahaha! :)
I knew someone would say that haha
今の上野は観光地価格で高いけど、雰囲気は素晴らしいですよね^_^
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, Samuel.
Good to see Lukasz in action. Been following his work for a while now.
This is such a cool series. It was this very series that inspired me to start shooting streets more often and after watching this video, I feel like shooting streets at night a lot more often than currently do.
Glad to hear it inspires you!! :)
This was really nice and I learnt a lot. Really liked Lukasz explaining his stuff :)
They have such a soft and pleasant lighting in the streets.
Great video samuel! Thank you and to lukazs, beautiful imagery and great tips!
great video , i know last time i asked you said you were using the fuji h1 to shoot the vlogs but what lens are you using as well? the stabilization at least when watching this video was quite stable and looks very good.
@WoolFlannel awesome thank you very much. i THINK watching "camera conspiracy" dude using the 10-24 at wides it does start to distort the buildings in the back ground but the main subject's face looks fine.
what's strange is that i saw the a6600 (one of them with ibis) and the stabilization is just really bad every where even on the main subject.
so i think for the H1 with wide angle lens it might distort architecture back ground but the main subject looks fine.
if there's warping every where then maybe that would be the post process warping stabilization in moments where there's really too much movement when shooting.
just my best guess.
Photographs like this invoke a sense of longing and melancholy that I don't experience with moving film. I wonder why?
he lived long enough in japan to start doing the "mmmh" thing when someone talks to him
Haha yes! I kno whow annoying it can be when filming an interview but in japan it's a signal that you are listening.
I know, they're always so polite! Btw this is maybe one of the best videos about street photography I've seen! Ueno is spectacular
@@gosho2248 Thank you!! It's actually one of my favourite videos of mine :)
@@gosho2248 I do the "mmm" thing all the time too!! :)
nice street photography trip!
OK now all I want to do is jump in a train and go to Ueno to shoot at night!
Great episode. More like this please :)
Thank you! More coming your way soon
Nice video as usual ! Happy to see that I’m not the only one fighting with my cap when shooting portait layout 😊. Thanks to Lukas’s who is really an interesting photograph, ready to share tips... thanks !
Lukasz seems to be the type of photographer that talks a lot about technicality and Samuel it’s just the chill film photographer xd
I am a natural teacher, but when I'm out shooting on my own, I don't think about this stuff so much. I do it without thinking and focus on the moments. :)
Another great video, say hello to Lucas or Łukasz. 2:21 the salaryman lying o the kid slide, I know this place, I photographed too, but just the kids slide ;). Just a minute walk from Kakigara Ryokan where I stayed for a few nights in 2018.
You are correct, that is the slide! :)
@@LukaszPalkaPhoto :) I was planning to go back to Tokyo and that spot last year but the Covid... maybe this yer.
Very enjoyable videos full of good tips. Lukasz you have a new fan!
Glad to hear that! :)
LUKASZ IS A FUCKIN BEAST AT TAKING PICTURES!🤘🤘🤘🤘
This video was really informative, i loved every second about it. He seemed to enjoy being out, and his photos were secondary. I've seen a lot of people dying to get the shot and getting in people's faces and being excessively invasive to get a shot. This video really opened my eyes to a lot about street photography
I'm so glad that comes across, because that really is my philosophy. For me, photography is about mindful exploration of one's world. If I can get beautiful photos as a byproduct of that exploration... well that is just the cherry on top of the cake. :)
What area is this in Tokyo? I couldn’t hear you 🙏🏼
Ueno!
Such a beautiful video. I really wish I can watch this for the first time again : )
I LOVE Tokyo at night...since 1994...
wow, I just watched the whole thing and didn't even notice that it was actually almost 40 minutes long. Well done, Samuel! I really enjoy videos of this kind of depth. More of this, please. :-)
Does you’re Minolta 28mm f2.8 have that infamous white specks inside your lens? Many of them have this white spot problem.
I know but mine doesnt have it fortunately. Maybe it got cleaned I don't know but it was hard finding a clean one for sure.
Samuel L. Streetlife right on! I’m not sure if you have the CLE hand grip? It makes the CLE a joy to use and handling even better. I’m not sure if you have the trio lens set? The Minolta Rokkor 40 mm f2 is fantastic and so is the Rokkor 90 mm f4.0. My most used lens is the 40 mm. Ok I’ve just seen your other video and how hard it was for you to get your 40 mm lens try to get a hood for it. I have the original rubber hood. Enjoy your set up!
@@bonghungk7544 I don't have the grip but I got a halfcase for my CLE and it does make holding it much better. I also have the 40mm rokkor (which I also love). I'm not so interested in the 90mm because I don't shoot tele so much. But I'm sure it is very good!
Samuel L. Streetlife that’s great you’re happy with your set up. I understand you about not wanting the Minolta 90 mm lens. I don’t often use it myself but I just wanted to complete my trio (28mm, 40mm, 90mm Rokkor lens collection. Sometimes I do portraits and use
the 90 mm for friends or family/cats and it’s a good way to finish off my last few frames of film before it goes off to the lab. Or if I get tired of using the 28 mm or 40 mm I pull out the 90 mm for compressed street scenes look or city scapes. Speaking of film I use to shoot Kodachrome 25/64 with my Minolta CLE! Oh I miss my Kodachrome film and that unique rendition!! Cheers 🍻
What an amazing video. Felt like I was there street shooting with you both!! Thanks Samuel :)
Thank you for your material I really enjoy your video documentary skills. Are you still shooting video with the Fujifilm XH1? Also curious of your audio and mics?
It really looks and sounds wonderful.
Thank you! Yes, I still shoot on a X-H1. I recently bought a Aputure Deity 3 Shotgun mic that I used in this video for the first time. Good to hear it sounded good!
I loved this video. Not much more to say other than that. As a beginner photographer, this is so inspiring. I see this and I just want to be part of it. Street photography is so fun
2 seconds in.... pauses video... types comment.....
"I just know this is going to be brilliant."
Resumes video.... hits play. (Will report back again in 38 minutes)
I was right..... fantastic.... nice one buddy. 👍😎
@@stevesvids Haha! Thank you Steve! Appreciate your comment :D
Very interesting, enjoyable video! Lukasz' photos are very nice. I really appreciate him sharing his settings -- I found myself asking that question within the first four minutes or so. Thank you Lukasz and Samuel!
I enjoyed this video. Thanks for posting.
Eyexplore are the best ❤ did two lessons in Kyoto with Axel. It was awesome.
Awesome!
Great to see Lukasz in action! Manual mode with Auto ISO on Nikon is the same as TAv on a PENTAX DSLR. 😆
