Last ten percent of the video had some playback issues for me fyi
Same here

Same here!
Me too
And me too.
This content is unbeatable. As a photographer, it made me drop a tear when my realization of a straw reflecting a column at the background was mentioned by you and outlined as intentional detail. Also there is a glitch in the video at 10:10 which I do like, because it is changing the photograph in the way that is seems beautiful for .me. This makes me feel that photography is beyond content or context .Love.
This comment is a winner comment, Alan
What a fantastic video!!! The pic of the woman on the bench is absolutely amazing!!
I only just discovered you. I am truly inspired by your work and humorous style!!!
As a great fan, it is amazing, especially the lady on the bench. Great leading lines, and the angle of that straw, I didn’t see that until you mentioned it 😉.
Regards from The Netherlands.
Thanks especially for one thing here: For pointing out that you sometimes have to WAIT for a picture to HAPPEN!! There are some street photography nerds on YT who run around (being followed by a video cameraman, being VERY visible this way!) and clicking away on the run. Showing very mediocre pics as results. Because in this moment, a pictu re did NOT happen. Your stories are full of photo opportunities - plus time! Good lesson for many.
Your photos are always inspiring and superbly interesting- my fav was the bamboo forest
Hi Alan I’m 76 and taking photos for most of my life. I love your work especially the lady walking down the stairs wearing the large hat. I’m using a Fuji xe1 & a xe2s keep up the great work I’m enjoying every one of your posts.
A really good mix! My favorite: the caricature of you in the mirror. Looking forward to the next 10. One minute per pic is perfect.
Hey Alan, great to see you have your own UA-cam channel. I did meet you once a few months back in early June of this year, it was only fleetingly. Me and my partner were walking from South Bank all the way to Tower Bridge and there you were with I think a student. You were explaining how to frame a shot from under a bridge. A quick "Hi Alan I've seen you on UA-cam" from me, a handshake and a thank you from you and that was it. Hoping to continue learning from you.
Enjoyed the insightful commentary.
Love this kind of videos where you tell us about the history and data about your photos. I had always wondered what focal did you use, what parameters, the momen and now already its here
More! More! More!. Absolutely addictive channel.
Alan has always some positive energy, his videos are often fun but also very romantic.
Fabulous Alan, especially the Brit Museum, Tokyo & Seoul shots .. masterpieces
As said by others, this content is the most value you can deliver. So inspirational! So interesting! Fantastic!
The third shot (in New York) is out of this world, Alan. I love it.
The wedding dress photo ist just stunning...a real story-teller!
The story of the cats in Turkey is actually and interesting one, worth looking up. Owned by no one but cared for by everyone.
Love the channel btw, wonderful photos and advice.
Discovered your channel a week ago and love everything. Keep up the wonderful content and awesome style! Don’t listen to people that say no to camera gear reviews or EDC - I am interested in your opinions and what you carry photographing!
Love the behind the scenes stories. Amazing images!
Glad to hear it 🙌🏼
Absolutely love these photos and the explanation behind each one. Thanks Alan. Greetings from Australia. Michael.
It rained a lot before you took the picture in Colombia and the most appealing thing is that you can smell the after effect of the atmosphere from the picture barring the frozen moment the picture has a vibrant dynamics of life added hitherto with the still portrait reverting the augment of moving out after a quick shelter in the pouring rain! Wonderful it's not an easy shot to just come by in your way!
Cómo siempre, un deleite poder verte... Muchas gracias Alan!!
Another great review of some interesting pictures. Cartagena and Japan are my favorites. Thanks !
I love these videos! It feels like you are sitting next to me drinking coffee! I especially liked the photo of the womnan in the airport. Yes, I noticed the straw before yo mentioned it! Very well done!
Great stuff. Received Metropolis yesterday - so even more interesting to get some details on your work via videos. Having lived in London for 14 years your photos bring me back. I regret not doing much street photography those days…. Awesome work!
I really appreciate your photography because every photo is telling me a story. Love your work!
Only just found you on UA-cam, very impressed with your work and advice.
again your images are super! Simple, perfect and full of life! I hated the 24mm. I went back to 28mm. Loved everything! Bravo!
I really love the stories behind the photographs
LOve all the photographs!! the COLOMBIA ONE!!!!!
I am following you on Instagram for a while now and I'm so happy about exploring your Videos with such wonderful photographs! I'm still a student (in Germany) and your Channel is a huge inspiration for me, please don't stop making these videos
The first image brings me back to the days I spent in the British Museum 10 years ago. You know what, I visited a temple which wasn't the one I aimed to in Kyoto, hahaha. Anyway, other excited stories. Look forward to next Episode. It seems that there are some sound track problems in the end of this video by the way, but not a big deal.
Hi Alan. Thank you for stopping to talk to me in Paris last week!!! My warmest thanks for acknowledging one of your biggest fans. You are amazing! Kay 📷
Thank you. You open our eyes.
Excellent set of photos with great back stories. More please....
Thanks 😊
Always the best !!! Thank You Alan !!!
Another wonderful video. Many thanks!
Well done! Enjoyed this immensely. Cheers.
Very enjoyable and inspiring video, thank you!
I like your vids and photos. I always learn a lot from you. Thanks!
Loving this series, thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge through your amazing images.
Brilliant, as always! Thanks for sharing these.
Alan, Thanks again for sharing your vision.
😊🙏🏼
Will you do a video of your view on editing? Would love to see an image from raw to finish just to get your thought process.
You're a real inspiration to me ; I love your work. So these kind of videos are great.
Great video, love knowing the stories behind them. Would be great to have to camera settings and lens used on the shots to give a bit more info to the shot. Superb work though, massive fan and a great inspiration.
great inspirations
Brilliant! Thank you for these. Very inspirational. 10/10 is a great idea! 👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh wow the straw matching the same angle as the beam... genius ❤🔥
It’s all about details!
Greetings! I’m a fan of your work 📷 Very Nice! 💯
Great photos
I can’t get over your skill capturing the eye behind the wire fence in New York City! Very difficult with a Leica 😮
Wonderful images all. Not only because of the composition, which is always fantastic, but also because each image is perfectly exposed. I'm guessing that you have likely already created a video covering how to meter for such high contrast situations so as to properly expose the subjects. I'll go searching for this now, but if you should see this comment you might reply with a link or with the title of the appropriate video so that others can refer to it. With much gratitude, a very happy subscriber
At last - Alan "Master of Contrast" Schaller on youtube with his own channel! Been a big fan of you for a few years! :)
Nice video once again Alan, I didn't know you speak french... I really like the format but find the clock running a little bit distracting but I guess its part of the general concept which I like very much, its always nice to understand what make you shoot the picture… cheers from Montréal et merci beaucoup monsieur Schaller 😊
Merci beaucoup 😊🙏🏼
@@alan_schaller Is there a rule in their rule book against sitting on the floor? I was asked to leave a shopping center for taking pictures and security came out. Taking pictures isn't against the rules, but taking pictures with a professional camera is, and their definition of a professional camera is any SLR. Cell phone pics are fine as are pics with a pocket camera, but not an SLR. Ridiculous, but since it was private property I didn't want to risk them calling the police on me.
@@alan_schaller And your patience is remarkable. I don't think I've ever stayed in one place for a half hour let alone however long it took you to get that staircase shot.
Great video and amazing photography, thank you so much for sharing! Would you mind telling, where the distortion came from in photo 7?
Love these videos, super informative ans motivates me to get out there with the camera
What a pity losing some seconds of Alan's interesting thoughts 😟 This is so good... and funny 😂 The feud with the British Museum staff 1:01 was hilarious! 😂 "I should be allowed... to warm my bottom because I have a condition!" (That would have been me. It will/might be funny 😁)
The disabled cat's portrait 5:23 with the brick pattern surrounding him, following with Alan's distorted portrait 6:24 with yet another brick pattern around him... leads me to truly believe that we might have an hidden message here, guys! (😁)
So interesting to see through his mind when he gave us the hint about his favorite bit about this one here 7:55. I was immediately inside a guessing-game like "Oh, of course it will be the white (or brightest) panel perfectly placed right behind her to give that perfect contrast..." 🚨WRONG! 😂🤣😂 The angle...🥤! WOW! Soooo good!
I'd also love to know what Alan had to say about other extra detail from the right-element in this one 9:25... but well... we can't have it all 😊
Cartagena photo was absolutely incredible! Pity about the cut 🔇 (or another sexual innuendo lol)... but well... Very... pleased (😂) with what I got 😊
And again, thank you for this. I'm already waiting for the next one... and sharing 😊
Love this series
Congratulations Alan. Greetings from Italy. Riccione (RN)
Thank you so much for sharing these behind the scene stories. The last shot is really dazzling but I must say I’m a bit frustrated because of the many unanswered questions I still have in mind ! (How much time and how many pictures did you take before you managed to shoot this one? Do you use burst mode to get these wonderful pigeon pictures of yours? I can’t believe it’s only by chance you succeed in capturing the perfect moment ! Pigeons are particularly challenging. I almost never succeed in capturing one with its wings wide open !!)
Oh, last question (although I don’t expect you’ll find the time to answer me): how do you frame with the 24mm? Do you use an external OVF, or live view, or do you just guess the frame by experience ?
Anyway, I can’t wait until the next 10-4-10 !!
I love these 10 for 10 episodes and this one was my favorite so far. Very striking images. I can’t recall if you use the monochrome variant of the M10 or are converting the images. I haven’t gotten a good workflow for converting to b&w worked out and my results aren’t meeting expectations. Thanks again for creating this channel. It’s a treat!
really nice!
Beautiful work, love it, thank you.
Thank you very much!
I love your work so much ! 🫶🥰
I love these. I'm getting more in to 'Street?' Myself
I know find Landscape photography boring 📷👍
The best far from the best greetings from Symi island 🏝️ Greece
Outstanding Alan.
Thanks for doing these videos!
Love your 10 for 10!
Love the series. Any thoughts on documenting your post production process?
as someone who dabbles in street photography when I see a fellow street photographer (when I don't have my camera) waiting for someone to walk through their scene I often try to second guess and walk exactly where I think they want me.
Looking forward to getting your full insight! The video freezes at 9:06. Skips a few more frames near the end 😢
Strange!! Maybe it’s a glitch because it’s just uploaded. Not sure 🤔
I had the same happening, first I thought it was my internet connection.
@@alan_schaller must be that meddling museum staff
same i refreshed my internet :P

Bonjour Alan. Excellente vidéo. J’ai appris beaucoup de chose en te regardant. Ta chaine es fantastique et tes photos sont sublimes. J’aimerais savoir comment tu édites tes photos. Une vidéo sur ce sujet ?
Alan, 10 minutes is too little time 😂 we need more please.
Yes some longer ones will be made
I carry my M10 with a small 35mm mounted everywhere I go and it drives my wife crazy... All wonderful images Alan. Thank you for sharing...
Idea.. Put some of your people on stairs images together for a video..
thanks - great artwork
Awesome as aways!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
All amazing shots. It’s great hearing the stories behind a photographer’s best shots. I love the parallel straw bench shot. How often do you get surprised when you think you have taken an average shot, only to see you have taken a great shot when you get home? How often does the reverse situation occur where you think you have taken a great shot, only to get home and find out it was suboptimal?
thank you
Brilliant work 👏
9:25 the depth in this picture is just wow 🔥
I don't like street photography , but i like yours 🙂
A funny and intelligent photographer talking about his work. What can go wrong?
Really stimulating. At around 8:38 in Cartagena, the video stops and eventually restarts around 9:01.
Love the shots. Can't wait to see 'Metropolis' but it is on back order here in Australia and a few more months away according to the supplier.
image #5 (@4:24) Can you share what you were thinking about exposure? I know I would have blown out the sky and trees in this scenerio.
Great video, thanks a lot, i would love to watch more, but now with the editing, how do you manage to edit your photos?? do you use ligghtroom, photoshop with digitals, and also with film. Greetings from Mexico City
Great video, again. Two questions: When you go out, you decide before you leave which lens to bring or do you bring several? How do you decide to shoot 35 or 50mm? Cheers.
Amazing video❤
Alan please come to Korea for book signing!
We love hearing you chat about your photos. You don't need the timer gimmick mate...
Like your videos man! Pic @7:44 do you remember the camera settings? How do you keep everything from front (which seems only a couple of cms in front of the lens) all to the back sharp? I mean the composition is out of question, brillant.
Love the photos! Do you ever shoot film?
Thanks. You mention always having a camera with you, but no mention of your pigeon ?
Very nice video!
Could you make a video about how you edit your pictures in Lr&Ps? Thank you!
🤜💥🤛
Now it would be great to actually see you shoot again, especially giving the relative long time between each video uploaded :)
