I hope you enjoy this one! Here is the link to Joel's street photography course that I mentioned in the video: mastersof.photography/joel-meyerowitz/?ref=57 - What a legend. For some reason, Joel hasn't really been in my top 5 of street photographers, but after researching for this video, he has to be!
Loving how you approach a scene weather it's asking for permission or candid! You definitely captured some gold in this video! The video was extremely inspiring!
I really enjoy this series. For some reason I can't explain, the last minutes of this episode made me cry (really cry). Thank you for your work. You've touched me deep with this one.
You really became my favorite photographer/ photography youtuber .. it’s your personality man it sold me quickly. You are very ground and very talented always a chill time watching your videos and pictures. Thank you for continuing to inspiring me to shoot more.
Muchas gracias Frederik for this series !! I love discovering new photographers, their style and philosophy ! It motivates me to shoot more and find my way ! Cheers from Brussels.
I am a casual photographer and this series of yours help much with getting my lazy ass off heading to the streets. Enjoyed every moment of it. Keep them coming!
you've got something special with this series you've been doing man. I haven't shot in a while and after watching your videos I went out on a photo walk the other day. Please keep uploading. Thank you!
Dude I’m enjoying this series of videos so much it’s ridiculous... it’s been so long since I last went on the streets to shoot; because I lost the inspiration, and confidence in doing it, but watching you enjoy it so much, it’s really getting me hyped. I’m gonna hit the streets tomorrow, for sure. Thanks for all your content Fede!
Since my childhood I love photos. Capturing emotions. Beautiful places. Then digital took it in a different direction. I left my analog feelings behind. Then some years ago, I bought the cheapest DSLR from Canon, to try out, if I find that love again. Learned a lot. And now, for some month I have my Fuji X100V, wich delivers a lot of the analog feeling. I shoot a lot square format, monochrome, etc. And your experiences look great.
Great video! Seems like you put a lot of effort in every one of them! I think we can not appreciate right now the photos you’ve taken since what we like in Joel’s photos (besides the complex composition) is the specific era and the way people used to dress... Your photos could have the same impact, only 50 years from now! I hope you understand what I try to say -my English is terrible...
Joel is a legend and this series does take a bit of time to make but it’s fun :)! And yea it’s very tricky regarding the time and place to “do like them” but there’s a lot to learn from the greats still, I think :)
Hey! I´m a Videographer that shoots mostly live events, so you street photographers are my heros. I learn so much! You are so good in anticipate actions. movements and special moments thats it´s mindblowing to me.
I follow several street photographers but your way of approaching people is spectacular and this allows you to obtain an excellent result, because people are involved, photos with soul. You doesn't even look like a Nordic :)
I have to say i really love your natural approach with people and your genuine curiosity. Couple of weeks ago i started to interact with people instead of just snap them into the street. Good interaction so far and "new regard". Thanks😊
I was in Mexico City during Covid, Taking photos of faces with masks was not ideal. And I did permission to take their photos the way you do. Love your content.
Fredirik I'm so happy I've found your channel as I enjoy your content a lot, it's funny how you are a Danish living in Mexico City and I'm a Mexican living in Finland, so I enjoy and cherish a lot all the views from my home country! Thank you for sharing this great content!
In the first photo of the two couples and the shadows, the shadows are not, as you said, from the other couple. They MATCH the other couple but because the light it directly behind the camera, the shadows are from unseen people. Still an amazing image, just not as you described. Meyerowitz "Cape Light" series came out while I was a photographer major in college and he became one of my favorite photographers. It's great to see he's still around and working.
So much of UA-cam photography videos is just portrait shoots, gear reviews or portra 400 shots of abandoned gas stations. Thanks for making some unique content and teaching me about some more photographers, I love your photos too. 👍
I enjoy your videos, so much. Loved the Tke photographs like Vivian Maier! I also enrolled in Joel Myerowitz's video course as per your recommendation. I received an email with your endorsment a few weeks ago. Thank you!
Joel Meyerowitz started with color streetphotography when color was considered to be for amateurs and not for "art photography" , he did also use a 8x10 Deardorff camera next to the Leica's.
You Need to make more of these type of videos. I'm finding more about photographers through your videos than any other UA-cam sites I've been on before
Love so much your style. I was in Morelia two month ago and I was afraid to ask people if I could take a picture. I have seen many videos on street photography before but I'm afraid to get rejected or for someone to get mad if I didn't ask. I'm sure you have got rejections and you keep going and hopefully I'm loose the fear soon!
Really like this series you are doing Frederik! Mexicain people seems very cool and seems to collaborate often in your photos... The Police here in Montreal (Canada) would of told you to bug off hahaha! Keep it up man!
Love that baby shot at the end. I thought you missed it when the kid calmed down, but fortunately, you got the shot. Nice video. Joel went to Arles, France on a day I was there. But I had never heard of him then, and did’t bother going to his exhibition opening. Still kicking myself... shit, it hurts!
Hi, I really enjoy your work and video content. Continue what you are doing and hold on to that passion you have for photography. And you seem like a great guy, a love and interest in people that shows in your videos. You've found your gift to the world.
I’ve got Joel’s Street Photography Course, I actually won it on Instagram. My problem is I haven’t really started it and now I’ve no camera after falling into a river last week ruining both my Canon 1300d/Rebel T6 and also my Canon G7 X, so now I’m waiting on the insurance company. I have borrowed a Nikon d3100 with 18-55mm kit lens plus a 70-300mm, I took it out on Saturday and I’ve got to say, I just don’t like it all. My friend is sending me a Canon 6d Full Frame, I’ve got a 50mm 1.8 for that but my friend is sending a few spare lenses too. Great video as always and I’m looking forward to the next.
Neat video Frederick I love Joel’s work, I think the shot of the two couples with the rain macs and Shadows is probably my favourite street shot ever !!! Keep up the good work, love your videos 👌 Best wishes Tim
Looks like a great place to live, very vibrant and the people appear to be friendly and don’t mind having their photo taken. Here in the UK we can only dream of being able to move around so freely even before the virus outbreak without being questioned or threatened. A little jealous deep down of this and your style and eye for an image.
Thank you for this video Frederik. It was so inspirational that I ended up buying Joel's masterclass and so far it's worth every penny. I would love it if you did an episode of shooting photos like Fred Herzog.
Lovable approach indeed! I wanted to go into street photography, but, I want to make more natural photos, and now there are so many laws regarding showing people in a photo that it's very hard to do so. Best from Uruguay. PD que bueno que hablas español también!
I lived in Mexico for about three years, Baja California Sur and Lago de Chapala. I took some photos with an old Sony DSC 70 with its wonderful CCD sensor. There is much I miss of Mexico, like the comida de la Calle and the vibrancy. But the treatment of women and animals left me so depressed that I came home and have remained here. I enjoy very much your work and your videos. And if you leave that 2.8 Rollei too close to me it won't be a Mexican who steals it. ;o) Be careful and take care of yourself. Make very day count because they are gone before you know it.
Can't believe I just found this tonight. Fantastic stuff! I'm going to do a photography series too, and this is really encouraging and inspiring stuff! Thank you!
Curse this pandemic! This series is so inspiring. I really want to drive the 150 miles to San Francisco and do some street photography, but I can't. I tried in my town, but when you know most of the people, it's a bit creepy. Plus, here in the weed capital of the world (Mendocino / Humboldt counties) people tend to be kinda paranoid. Thanks for the inspiration, though. I'll get there eventually.
Great work Frederik. I love this series and all you do. One question. In all your street portraits I see you just say thank you and move away. Aren't anyone curious to look at what you have taken? Even before rolliflex in your previous videos.
loved the vid. thank you for your effort and sharing. i very much enjoy this series. i have seen the first two and this just adds to the winning streak. thumbs up.
really great content! absolutely love the colour rolleiflex pics! do you use the sunny 16 rule when shooting street portraits with the TLR? I've found that although using light meter is more accurate, it slows down the process quite a bit compared to sticking with sunny 16.
Congrats! Just discovered your channel and that was an inspirative video, as well as colorful! Mexico is so beautiful and has been so nice to see how you talk with people politely asking for portraits. And BTW, your portraits are wonderful.
Absolutely fantastic video Frederik, extremely well done. Please do similar videos in the future as well. I liked the videos on Robert Franka and Vivien Maier as well. All theses vidoes also shows what a wonderfully talented artist you are . Stay safe and happy clicking.
Hey Frederik, I noticed you switched from the X-T3 to the X-T4, what is your experience been like? I'm getting back into photography, and I am looking to upgrade from my Canon 60D. I would be using it to take close up stills, and take videos for my wife's fashion blog. Is it worth the upgrade? The X-T3 is about $950 cheaper than the X-T4 right now where I live. Love your channel and your series on great photographers. I can't wait to see more!
Fantastic video. I've seen a couple of videos and interviews with Joel, and you've done a great job of capturing his style while keeping it personal to you. Great job. Oh, and the Candid Frame episode you referenced is one of my favorites! Great job!
I hope you enjoy this one! Here is the link to Joel's street photography course that I mentioned in the video: mastersof.photography/joel-meyerowitz/?ref=57 - What a legend.

awesome series about artists, request: make one about david yarrow....and thanks for sharing.
Man I just fell in love with photography again.
That’s what I like to hear!
Hi Frederik...I'm an old guy that just started street photography and am learning a great deal from your videos...love your work and your enthusiasm.
Same here Lawrence. Greetings from New Zealand, Frederik.
Are you shooting film or digital?
Loving how you approach a scene weather it's asking for permission or candid! You definitely captured some gold in this video! The video was extremely inspiring!
Thanks Christopher!
You have so much energy and enthusiasm, very cool to be with you on the streets
Deberías hacer playeras que digan “yo fotografíar gente de México” o “perdone, puedo tomar tu foto?” You are awesome dude!
Haha
Hahahahahahahah sooo funyyyyyy hahahaha
I really enjoy this series. For some reason I can't explain, the last minutes of this episode made me cry (really cry). Thank you for your work. You've touched me deep with this one.
You really became my favorite photographer/ photography youtuber .. it’s your personality man it sold me quickly. You are very ground and very talented always a chill time watching your videos and pictures. Thank you for continuing to inspiring me to shoot more.
Thank you so much Alejandro! Really appreciate the kind words!
Muchas gracias Frederik for this series !! I love discovering new photographers, their style and philosophy ! It motivates me to shoot more and find my way ! Cheers from Brussels.
Me too. It’s a great way to learn :)
The POV clips with smooth, chill music in the background was so relaxing man. Mugshot got me by surprise, great stuff :D
That’s great to hear! I have plenty of them on my channel :)! Thanks for the kind words!
I am a casual photographer and this series of yours help much with
getting my lazy ass off heading to the streets. Enjoyed every moment of
it. Keep them coming!
you've got something special with this series you've been doing man. I haven't shot in a while and after watching your videos I went out on a photo walk the other day. Please keep uploading. Thank you!
Medium format look is awesome.
Dude I’m enjoying this series of videos so much it’s ridiculous... it’s been so long since I last went on the streets to shoot; because I lost the inspiration, and confidence in doing it, but watching you enjoy it so much, it’s really getting me hyped. I’m gonna hit the streets tomorrow, for sure.
Thanks for all your content Fede!
2050: "How To Take Photos Like Frederik Trovatten"
It will come :)
LOL
This should be a sticky

The Candid Frame is a gold mine of knowledge from photographers that been doing this for a long long long time.
I have to say i really love your natural approach with people and your genuine curiosity. Couple of weeks ago i started to interact with people instead of just snap them into the street. Good interaction so far and "new regard". Thanks😊
I was in Mexico City during Covid, Taking photos of faces with masks was not ideal. And I did permission to take their photos the way you do. Love your content.
My favorite photographer. You just earned a subscribe with your insightful commentary and examples.
You have inspired me to begin shooting film again. Thank you.
Great to hear! Welcome to the club :)!

Joel has been my favourite for some time now
Loving the series, thank you, love how peoples expression doesn't change when you ask to take their photo.
Thanks for these series. I enjoy watching them. Keep them coming😀
Glad to hear Sandi :)!
This is amazing! To feed off a master and one of my favorite UA-cam photographers is just a treat..Very inspiring Federico.
Beautiful work Frederik! I was so excited to see another video this morning. Cheers from Moscow, Idaho!
Thanks a lot! Can’t wait to visit Moscow again! And this time with my camera!
You Need to make more of these type of videos. I'm finding more about photographers through your videos than any other UA-cam sites I've been on before

Hey Joel look out for this guy his images are right up there with yours! Great video!
I have a X100s. Still a great camera. Perfect for street photography and just as an every day walk around camera.
So interesting and innovative approach ! Keep up great work! And btw brilliant photos!
Thanks a lot!
Man I Love this series soooo much!!!
Jag gillar färgbilderna! Tack för att du delar med dig!! 👏😍
That adapter is awesome. Getting you closer to your subjects.
This is the second time I have seen you on UA-cam, I got to say I felt in love with this video thanks man I really need it 😃
Really like this series you are doing Frederik! Mexicain people seems very cool and seems to collaborate often in your photos... The Police here in Montreal (Canada) would of told you to bug off hahaha! Keep it up man!

You made me wanting to take my Rolleiflex 2.8f with a slide film in the streets again.
Thanks so much Frederik for sharing! Awesome !
“Unintentional mugshot” gave me a good laugh. Have a nice day!
Very helpful to see this mix of video punctuated by the still photographs that you were searching for.
I am quite happy with the communication skill with others in the situation of the street photography! good work!
Thanks mate! Appreciate it!
Wow! Have to go back and watch the earlier episodes. This is amazing !
Lots of my favourite photos of yours in this video! You seem to be getting real good with that Rolleiflex.
And look at that sexy film roll badge
Thanks! It’s such a nice camera for street portraits. But still to slow for these quick shots, to me! P.S that’s a nice looking badge!
What a great video! And thanks for the suggestion re the Joel M course. I am enjoying it so far!
Dude! Your videos are fantastic but your shots are actually great too! You are very talented man. Good work
Thanks a lot!
Brilliant, as always. Thanks a lot for teaching us more about photography and these great artists. Very interesting and inspiring,
Me too in Finland. Thank you Frederik, you made me photographing again.

A little jealous deep down of this and your style and eye for an image.
Another great video! Which aperture you use the most in these pictures? It must be wide to blur the background.
4:33 I was expecting to see your photo of a woman in a blue dress between two blue awnings.
Great video! Love your work. And Joel's, of course.
Thank you for this video Frederik. It was so inspirational that I ended up buying Joel's masterclass and so far it's worth every penny. I would love it if you did an episode of shooting photos like Fred Herzog.
That’s great to hear! He’s for sure on my list! A long list but he’s on it :)!
@@FTrovatten Looking forward to it, and it sounds like there will be lots of videos to look forward to if you have a long list :)
That’s a great post, really informative! I have been a fan of Joel for years now and now you. Thanks, Jimp
Fantastic video Frederik, as usual you make me fall in love with photography more and more 🙋🏻♀️
Excellent video and photos! You can talk the talk AND walk the walk. Subscribed!
Lovable approach indeed! I wanted to go into street photography, but, I want to make more natural photos, and now there are so many laws regarding showing people in a photo that it's very hard to do so. Best from Uruguay. PD que bueno que hablas español también!
Another great video! Thanks for sharing Frederico. 👍
Please continue this series, it is so good!

Frederik, really cool series! Keep going with this awesome work! Regards from Europe
The "having an interesting looking camera" part is gold!
The colour street portraits ware great!
Love it! So authentic, so much fun watching. Keep on going, there will be a lot of followers for you!
Soooo glad I bumped into your channel 🎉
Im glad you did too!
Love the accidental mugshot haha! Another great video Frederik!
I love the way you edit these videos.
Thanks a lot Martin!
Yea man you’re nailing this series! 👏
Color on the Fuji was poppin! Nice amount if keepers on your walk. 👍
loved the vid. thank you for your effort and sharing. i very much enjoy this series. i have seen the first two and this just adds to the winning streak. thumbs up.
This video was so moving!! Make me cried! Thank you so much!
I've watched your Vivian Maier video a while back and came across this one on Joel's own website of all places! Loved the video, great work!
What a great series! Really glad I found your channel. Thanks!
really great content! absolutely love the colour rolleiflex pics! do you use the sunny 16 rule when shooting street portraits with the TLR? I've found that although using light meter is more accurate, it slows down the process quite a bit compared to sticking with sunny 16.

I spat out my coffee laughing when I saw the unintentional mugshot XD
Thanks bro! A Very enjoyable video, I shoot with an XT4 and have been loving experimenting with the film simulations.
Great video, thank you, I am new to street photography and still trying to find my style
Hey Frederik, I noticed you switched from the X-T3 to the X-T4, what is your experience been like? I'm getting back into photography, and I am looking to upgrade from my Canon 60D. I would be using it to take close up stills, and take videos for my wife's fashion blog. Is it worth the upgrade? The X-T3 is about $950 cheaper than the X-T4 right now where I live. Love your channel and your series on great photographers. I can't wait to see more!
Amazingly insightful info to compare other photographers. Very cool. Really enjoy your videos.
Fantastic video. I've seen a couple of videos and interviews with Joel, and you've done a great job of capturing his style while keeping it personal to you. Great job. Oh, and the Candid Frame episode you referenced is one of my favorites! Great job!
