I keep telling this one to myself. But immediately countering the point myself as well. I live in Ireland, and I am pretty certain, that whatever I have here to take a street photography might appear super interesting and a "Cheatcode" for anyone living in Japan. While for them, their own architecture is boring and mundane and they might be having issues recognising the truly interesting stuff, just like I have issues recognising it here in Ireland.
@@ZheikoNilethwell said. Somewhere foreign is always inspiring to photograph, but there is also beauty in the mundane that we’re used to, just means we need to try a little harder… or wait for good lighting 😂
You are definitely right about japanese people having different perspective, but Japan is really special. In their culture is huge importance for aesthetic of everyday things and also their surroundings. Japanese people have strong sense for perfectionism. You will hardly find something like this anywhere on the world. But japanese people could see it as boring as they grow up in it.
@@panhradu You tell me. I have at least 300 photos of just Shinto gate when I was there. Its definitely understandable why Japanese people find it boring given how many shrine exist there but they are beautiful things. I was quite fascinated with how Japanese people prioritize "presentation". Color me shocked when produce section in market have individually plastic wrapped fruits.
@@ZheikoNileth Looking back, I realized that in Japan, the photos I took are just cookie cutter photos. Anybody could have taken them. Its just so setup for success that I don't take much pride in them. Its not an active participation of the culture you could say. In Canada, I find I get more interesting photos from whatever events I am attending (market, convention, etc.). The photo may not look as aesthetic, but the story I can tell whenever I show somebody my photos more than make up for it.
Having got back from a trip to Japan and seeing I ended up in the same place taking similar photos in the same locations on Miyajima is very amusing, great stuff as usual.
Very refreshing compositions, even after quite a few years of photography. One of the best advice I heard about making a good photo was by the late John Free, stating the need to have 3 or 4 subjects in relationship in some kind of way. Almost all you shots are well layered and organized. Much appreciated video, thank you.
Thank you for breaking down your shots in the scene as well. It was definitely helpful, especially with the way you're directing the viewer's attention with your hand gestures.
your channel is a gem. thank you so much. these explanations of each composition you do help a lot and inspire me to go out and try to shoot something :)
Those miyajima deer can be weirdly aggressive for deer. My wife caught a headbutt from one who was trying to get some food from us. The Nara ones too. We went during the pandemic so they were super hungry for the tourist deer cookies, and I have a great photo of one stood up on its back legs with hooves on her. Which naturally I had to take before I helped out. 😂
Love understanding what you're seeing when you take a photo, always very nice compositions. I know you edit your raw files, but which fuji simulation do you like to use while shooting? Is there one that you feel helps you capture the best colors/compositions?
Fantastic! I stumbled into your great video, just when our daughter left the same place where you shot this. I shared it with her for educational and memory purposes. Thank you for sharing!
Another excellent video :-) Great source of inspiration ! And agree with you for the last photo, it is much better with this angle ;-) Thank you for your work 🙏🏻
Just ordered the 35mm 1.4 after searching for a good deal for a long time. Never liked the 25mm in mft but perhaps this one paired with 18 and 90 will be a good match.
Great video. I actually disagree with you on the last photo. I think it’s perfect as it is. You don’t want it symmetrical. I think sometimes it’s easy to over analyse.
Japan is kinda a cheat code for photography though. Intereting subject and architecture everywhere.

the framing on the last shot is especially gorgeous. thanks for sharing!
Merci pour ces explications c'était vraiment intéressant !
I live in Hiroshima. I found this channel today and subscribed. I look forward to more updates on the channel.
Again, such a lovely video! True inspiration! Thanks!
The last picture is why I watch this vedio. That is 10/10 !!

Awesome video. Really highlights the concept of clean framing, which i think is not very clear for people new to longer lenses.
I love your pics

man your works are great, i learnt a lot from you
Some amazing shots here; enjoyed it a lot. 👌🏼
Fantastic video
I'm visiting Hiroshima next month and this video is helpful for some photography ideas
Another excellent video :-) Great source of inspiration ! And agree with you for the last photo, it is much better with this angle ;-)
Thank you for your work 🙏🏻
Your shots are really cool
Beautiful
my favorite focal lenght ...
for that video from 07:58 to 08:00. How'd you get the blurry/ dreamy look around the borders of everything? It looks so freaking good.

Composition breakdown video is my favourite! Keep it up 😊
...and slow down, you're almost out of breath man 😁
Love love love these videos. Ever thought of doing a phone photography video?
a good time spend on the streets deserve a nice treet! 😁
really nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome video. And what's the background music, please
Great video. I actually disagree with you on the last photo. I think it’s perfect as it is. You don’t want it symmetrical. I think sometimes it’s easy to over analyse.
An incredible video, thank you! FYI only word “deers” doesn’t exist in English; the plural of deer is “deer”, i.e. one “deer”, many “deer”
