Cute Camera are awesome! They're based here in Austin, TX so it's sick they got to sponsor you :)
@@conthemar Ahhh you‘re in Austin? Exactly! Yeah lovely guys, I‘m so happy I get to collab with them🥹✨
Any chance you could let us know where you got the 640t film? 🙂
what lenses do you use for the camera? I wanted to try out a film camera sometime in the future since im just starting out with photography as a hobby
Teo Crawford speaking Japanese and blessing my ears. Beautiful language.
Before I watch, I have to say that you're incredible at what you do. It's really inspiring to see people like yourself in this medium, who have the potential to go above and beyond UA-cam.
Ahhh thank you so much for the kind words🥺🫶🏼
6:39 out of topic but i am going insane over the toad figurine oh my god there's not a single thought in those eyes but happiness
i LOVE the shot of the group of freinds where the one guy noticed you, its kinda magical in the way that he stopped his moment for the photo and he is also smiling in a way that makes you think hes in on a joke just him and the photographer understand whereas the rest of the scene moves naturally, its an incredible shot!
the walkthrough video alone already a masterpiece. i've always find your videos so enjoyable because you walk us through how you see things and people in such serene kind of way, plus that the very soothing voice of you (i didn't know you speak Japanese!). あなた は very かっこいい です (37 days streak on duolingo, excuse the mistake haha)
Ahhh I‘m so happy you enjoy these, thank you!🥹🫶🏼
Hahah ありがとうごさいます！🙏🏼 Yes I’m half Japanese and grew up speaking it✨
The Silhouette shot at 15:50 is insane - super surreal, almost looks like a frame from a dream sequence of a Japanese horror film.
Loved these photos so much! It's interesting how these images where the eye sneak into an interior space (from outside), gazing at someone, almost always render great results (to me, at least); definitely took note of that for future experiments.
This Japan trip has really triggered a different kind of photography more open towards the human element in the frame - I hope you are bringing this back to other locations (Vienna/Austria). Great work, wonderful shots and wonderful narration with them. Thoroughly enjoyed this video!
And yes, the film is just plain old Kodak Vision with the remjet layer removed - just like Cinestill.
the third shot is an ABSOLUTE BANGER!!!!
great video Teo - maybe my favorite photo-walk episode of your's yet. I really appreciate the commentary that you always include regarding composition, timing, colors, etc.
Aww amazing, I‘m so happy you appreciate the commentary, thank you!🥹🫶🏼
Bro, your photos are so good! The cinematography is a masterpiece too!
love seeing what you are dreeaming of in your travels ~~
Awesome video Teo! You picked the perfect location to test this film out! I love how the photo at 3:14 captured that cook behind the curtain and also how the photo of the two ladies sitting in the restaurant at 7:11 almost perfectly mirrors that photo you took of the two men in Shinjuku. Great stuff!
First time ever seeing this channel and I love your honesty and introspection. This is street photography and education done right
Gotta say a lot of these shots were brilliant. Kichijoji looks like an absolute gem for night shoots
Really enjoyed watching this buddy. ❤️ Can't wait to watch your next one.
Your filmmaking talent is limitless. I love watching your videos especially the intros. Sheeeesh
This was absolutely stunning.
your videos are always amazing. i like how you critique every photo and say what you'd want to improve. great work, i'm very glad you're gaining popularity :)
Aww thank you so much, I‘m so happy you find value in my commentary🥹🫶🏼
great video as always teo! always love your night photography videos.
Aww thank you so much! Was great to be out in the night again!☺️🫶🏼
Your videos are so enjoyable and super inspiring .
bro you make me love photography even more with every single one of your vids, Japan is so beautiful wish I could visit some day
i've been loving these videos!! so enjoyable to watch and all your shots come out amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Aww thank you! I‘m so happy you enjoy these!🥹🙏🏼
Japan is such a good place for phography 🤩 Great series. The photo at 22:05 reminds me of Nighthawks by Edward Hopper, inspiring solitude and loneliness. I love it!
I'm in love with this film
i really love the photograph at 4:34! it actually made me say wow outloud
your videos are very inspiring and motivating for me to be creative - love it!
the red hat at 4:25 and the blue one at 17:16 really caught my attention, im not sure why but i really liked them in the photo. very much amazed by your compositions and skills, you really do inspire me to continue my journey with photography.
The character of the film is just so perfect for the small alleyways!! I miss walking aimlessly just to take photos in Tokyo during night time.
This is amazing Teo, genuinely.
Thank you!!🥹❤️
I love the look of this film, the tungsten balance really gives these photos a similar look to the movie Chungking Express which is one of my favourite films
Ahhhh this makes me miss living in Japan. So calming!
The beginning of this video is amazing and so so cinematic, I'm a newer viewer coming back to some of your older content and just...wow. Such good work!
Aww sweet, glad people like you come back to previous videos☺️ Thank you for the kind words!🙏🏼
Nicely done and narrated all around. It’s uncanny how you and I have very similar tastes, locales, and technique. I spent several nights recently taking nighttime photo walks mostly with CS800T, mostly with an OM-4ti, and mostly in the entertainment district around Shimbashi Station (a little in Shibuya, Ueno, and Yurakucho too), which I recommend for your next outing if you haven’t done it already.
all the shots are beautiful but the photo at 21:16 has gotta be my favorite wow
Ahhh thank you so much!🥹🙏🏼 And yeees I love that one so much too!
Another brilliant night photography video - thank you for showing us this cool film stock! I appreciate how you really take the time to consider composition and your interest in storytelling. How do you build courage or confidence to take photos that include people? I find it so hard to muster up the courage all the time. 😅
pretty cool this video :D some really nice photos :)
That shot in the little restaurant near the start is really nice man
I just discovered this video and your channel and you deserve a million subs.
love your videos!
everything looked straight of a movie 😍🫶🏾
not even a minute in and this video is gorgeous
Ahhh thank you!🥹🫶🏼
Captivating
Love these night shoots you’ve been doing, so peaceful and relaxing 😁
Amazing Photos!
king of modern film photography
really inspiring stuff!
This is creatively so good!
Teo has done it again!! Showing breathtaking works
Ahh thank you so much!🥺🫶🏼
Kichijoji has been my secret spot for photography. Seeing how you shoot is soo cool. Gives me some new perspectives I can try lol hope to see you out in Tokyo one day man
your photos are so inspiring now i want to paint (but it’s 4am)
Soon as I saw you load the film I knew it was a older Pentax :). I own one of the Spotmatic 500s and love it.. For 35mm camera I really think the older metal body Pentax cameras are very hard to beat :). Great photos
i love the compositions you find on the fly, but i think it’s also awesome that you speak multiple languages? i know you’ve talked about having family in japan but i didn’t expect the fluency and ease of conversation with the locals!
Incredible video
7:43 kind of reminds me of a scene in wong kar wai’s “as tears go by” when andy lau fights people in a restaurant. that scene was also blue. great video!
4:25. The still itself looks like it's from Chungking Express. It is beautiful. Keep up the great videos man.
Hearing you speak Japanese was super awesome as a half Japanese person lol. absolutely love the content, hope to catch you on your next visit to Japan! 宮崎県から応援したます！
Another great video! But that K1000, you're tempting me too much 🤣 Think I need to find one myself, almost worth it only for the shutter sound on its own
Gosh that shutter is just too good😮💨 Sorry for tempting you hahaha
I truly enjoy your videos. :) keep up the good work. How cool that you speak Japanese! :)
I can really recommend you Light Me for metering! It doesn't require you to take a photo each time and I think it also shows you a bit more information :)
Ohh and beautiful photos, my favorite is 17:04
Your videos are all inspiring! Thanks Teo. By the way do you know any nice film camera shop in Tokyo? I will soon travelling there 😊
Your japanese is great. Was not expecting that.
Hi Teo, great video and photos, very inspiring, I use a pentax sportmatic myself, can you tell me what lenses you use in the video? thanks in advance for the reply
I' ve heard ZV-E10 and Kase film filters set are very good for film photography.
Love all the shots in this video, I will be traveling to Japan next month. Is it okay to shoot on the street in Tokyo? I'm a bit shy.
Will definitely try the Cyberpunk 640T. Any tips on the night film photography? Nice work, keep it up!!
I think I'm in love with this film. Thank you for this video!
And could you tell please which app do you use for the film camera settings? 😇
love this video man! such great vibes. may I ask which light meter app you use?
Hi Teo, nice video as always, love the vibes !
May I know what objectives, aperture and shutter speed you used to be able to do handheld night photography ?
Im so curious too! Most night videos I’ve watched uses a tripod and shutter release cable, but Teo’s shutter clicks sounds so quick and all the photos turn out sharp and bright and beautiful. I’d love to know the settings 😊😊
Enjoyed this so much! Do you have any recommendations of shops to buy film in Tokyo? Headed there for my first time next month & am so excited!
New viewer, but any Australia trip plans? We're an extremely diverse continent, so more than enough moods to capture!
From the skyscrapers and laneways of our big cities, to the snowy tall rainforests & peaks of Tasmania; the nostalgic bubbling hillsides of river red gums to the waterfalls of Kakadu
Also, I got super hyped for the shot at 21:40. I was like "Oh yeah, get that! Get it!" Definitely a photo I would have stopped for, too.
Great video and shots! Just wondering, do you shoot wide open to get a fairly "fast" shutterspeed? Don't seed motion blur on the people so I guess iso640 is okay with the amount of citylights there :)
that was so good to watch! I am going to Tokyo in some months to shoot photos as well so this is so motivating!
are you comfortable with the gopro on your head in the streets? and where did you buy this film? it looks similas to the cinestill 800T indeed!
Sweet shots! Any Recs on light metering tools or apps?
Love listening to your thoughts of each photograph. One comment on your audio: it’s really low, I had to turn it all the way up, then it’s too loud when an ad comes on.
This was such a great watch! What an amazing video :) I love how we can hear your shutter snap, and then you show the picture straight after. I was constantly finding myself going back and forward in the video to see what you "saw", with just your eye, shown to us via your vlogging head cam... and then being able to see how that composition came out on the film camera! Absolutely fantastic :) Tokyo is a city I dream of visiting one day. Thank you for making this video. I have one question though, are you doing any post production editing on your photos? Even just cropping or framing? The photo at 17:49 is absolutely insane! Those colours are gorgeous! Even the framing. I am wondering if you are lining up the verticals in post, or you are just really good at doing this in the moment, with the camera?
P.S. you voice is also very ASMR-like hahaha it was lovely to hear you narrate your videos around a cyberpunk night time Tokyo :) Superb video my friend. Please do more like this.
Love your videos. They are so relaxing and inspiring 😊 What focal lengths did you use for the Pentax?
Aww thank you!🥹🫶🏼 I use a 35mm and a 50mm🙌🏼
Hi, you inspired me to start film photography and I’m always excited to see your new videos. May I know what light meter application you’re using on your phone?
It's Lghtmtr (as mentioned in other comments and in past videos)
I love these so much! How do you get that blue-green glow on your photos? Is it just the film stock?
Hello
These photos are beautiful!
This is the first vidéo of yours I have watched, so maybe you mentioned this already, but where do you develop your film in the tokyo area?
Im a phototgrapher studying abroad in Tokyo in the Spring and this vidéo has inspired me to consider bringing my k1000
It was my dad's first camera and mine as well, such a great reliable machine so I it makes sense to bring it.
What do you think?
I think it’s one of the best rolls I’ve seen by you. Absolutely phenomenal. I was wondering what shutter speed did you use? Since you didn’t use a tripod at all
Thank you🥹🫶🏼
I usually was somewhere between 1/15 and 1/125 depending on how bright the scene was of course - most of the time I think it was 1/60🤔
@@teocrawfordoh I found my answer!! You have such steady hands 😊
Beautiful Video as usual. Do you know how the Laws concerning street photograhy are in Japan? The people always seem so chill, I´m having a hard time taking pictures of people here in Germany especially when they are facing me.
I was thinking about starting getting into film, and randomly came across your video. Then I was surprised to suddenly see the town where I grew up. Nothing has changed there. It's been a few years that I'm away from there, living in a country that nothing is like Japan. Oh and great photos too haha. I was wondering if there is any way to reduce the grain in the dark parts of the photo? and what camera do you suggest for a complete beginner? thanks
Visually stunning. What lens did u used for these amazing night shots.
見慣れた街もあなたが撮ると美しく見えます！
閉店後のラーメン屋の写真が好きです。wkw の映画みたい！
I plan on going to Japan hopefully in the next year and will also be taking street photography. Is there anything I should know before doing so that is specific to Japan?
what camera did you use because its very intersting i think im also going to start again with film and a tip the nikon bodys you can use in live view so its great
красиво.... хочу научиться видеть красоту в том месте, где я живу, и это не япония😁 beautiful... i want to learn to see the beauty of the place where i live and it's not japan
Did you use any blackfilter or a specific lense to get this amazing dreamy effect in the first shots of the video ? It's amazing as always ! You legit deserves millions of follower your content is truly inspiring
Actually no, the very dreamy shots were so hazy because I was shooting reflections through dirty glass which created the strong diffusion🙌🏼
Thank you so much!!🥹❤️
It would be nice a video about ''kind of films'' and your opinion about the different kind of films!
Ohhh yes, I‘ve been thinking of making that!✨ thanks for the tip🙌🏼☺️
@@teocrawford do it bro! even ''film simulation'' will be awesome. I like a lot the ''cinematic film look'' to use on digital camera.
The photos are amazing as always. Where do you get your film developed and scanned?
Thank you!🥹🙏🏼
In Japan I always took my film to Bic Camera, but only for development. The scans I do myself🙌🏼
Japan really does look like a photographers heaven, can't wait for my trip late next month.
One question though, where would you recommend buying film when in Tokyo?
Ohhh you‘re going!? Amazing, I wish you the best of time!🤩
Honestly I wouldn’t particularly recommend buying film in Japan, except you‘re looking for lesser known films and have the time to go look for it😅
I had a hard time buying Fujifilm because of Fuji‘s production issues. All the big shops were sold out and only had Kodak, which however in Japan is pretty expensive.
But if you want to try something lesser known you could check out Lemon Camera in Shinjuku. This film I bought in Champ Camera, which however is not located in Tokyo👀
@@teocrawford Thanks, and I suppose trying some interesting film stocks can never be a bad idea or just pack a crap ton of film.
Hello. I'm just getting back into film photography after a break of about 20 years. I like that you use the K1000. It was one of my first cameras. Now I've bought an Asahi Pentax SV, a camera that predates internal light metering. I'm shooting my first roll of ASA200 Kodak color film and guess-timating exposures, keeping a record of frame, aperture and shutter speed, so I can see later this month when it's developed where I was off and by how much. I would be very interested in how you set your exposures at night so as to balance adequate brightness, depth of field and action-stopping shutter speed. At least as a starting point. (1/60th at f5.6?) Did you rely on the light meter at all? I noticed you were constantly adjusting the shutter speed. Aperture, too? Did you shoot the film at its rated speed? Have you looked at the SV?
4:35 this tone and place reminds me of WongKarWai
Great stuff, that film really is a cinestill clone! What's the light meter app you use?
I like this video a lot. Do you overexpose when you photograph at night When you take the photos or do you take the photos as the measure give you?
I wonder if that light leak was static electricity, there was another film I saw that same thing about
Cool stuff! What light meter app are you using?
Looks like pictures from 70’s-80’s movie
Hello, Teo! Love your content:)
I had 2 questions!
1) Photos that you put in the video: where is it possible to find them? There are severall shots i really wanted to save in good quality! But they are not on the prints website 😅
2) I know you're half Japanese and grew up sneaking it: i wanted to ask- how does it feel to speak this language as a primary language in the environment? Does it feel comfortable? Did it take getting used to? Just curious:)
Have a great day!
Hi men, love your work and night photos they just hits different. I got a question regarding how do you deal with apperture in this situations, i mean I always missfocus when I shot at less than f 5.6 but you seems to manage it very nice and always hace a totally focused photos. do you just shot the photos at 1/60 in order to obtain a totally focus image at f 8 or 11? or do you open at f/2 at 1/250? Thank you in advance! Sorry for my english 😁
From the light meter (and the depth of field) it seems the aperture is pretty wide - f/2-f/2.8. The K1000 has a focus screen, so I guess focusing may be a bit easier than on a digital camera, but it still surely requires a lot of practice and luck.
@@dominik.zemanek.97 Well noted man! I shoot my photos with a nikon FM (50mm f/2 and 20mm f3.5 lenses ), but always when I open the apperture I always missfocus, so I disregard a possible damage on the camera. Do you know a way for obtaing higher chances of obtain more focused images on this wider appertures ? again, thanks for your feedback.
@@orfer098 I honestly know next to nothing about this topic, but if the picture seems in focus in the viewfinder but not in the photos, then there must be something wrong inside the camera - between the lens and your eye - maybe the mirror angle needs an adjustment. If it's not about back / front focusing but about the whole image being blurry at wider apertures (aberration), then perhaps it's the lenses.
