Street photography at night is very different than shooting during the day. In today's video I talk about tips on how to approach night photography, from the gear, settings, approach, experimentation, and safety.
Feel free to drop any of your night photography related questions in the comments section and I'll try to get back to as many of you as I can.

Have you ever tried a pro mist filter in the nightly hours?
@@DQmanglocQ I have! I don't normally use them though. I actually made a video a while back using the Moment Cinebloom filter! check it out
Is a connon powershot sx130 good for night photography and my second question is I've been doing photography for about a month and I just got the powershot isn't good for first camera
Is it good for a first camera*
I'm a beginner and I have a lot to learn and your kind of the person I look up to so I don't want to waste your time but I have more questions
I cannot express how much I love your aesthetic, your persona, your pace and structure of your videos - you make me want to learn everything about photography! Also, video idea - Street photography on an iPhone challenge?
👆🏻what they said. 😃👍
accepting high ISO is something that took me a long time to realise was not such a terrible thing... just embrace it. great advice!
Fuji's idea of having the noise look like grain instead of little square artifacts in crossword puzzle patterns was brilliant. I never think of noise when using a Fuji. I always consider that in the film days, pushing 1600 ASA film a couple of stops was the only way to go anyway.
as a new photographer that bought an xt-3 for my first camera, I had no idea that other cameras didn't do that and it was one of the first things I noticed about my higher iso photos.
Damn this is freaking amazing
thats not youtube content, thats art. Pure harmony, everything flows very well. Thank you for that video and thank you for embracing the most important fact - its not about the gear, its about the process.
I love shooting at night, especially after it’s been raining, puddles and rain soaked roads, especially old cobblestone ones. There’s something about the quality of the light and the overall aesthetic. Things that would otherwise look mundane during the day, are transformed at night.
Unbelievable production quality. Wow
Much appreciated!
I don't know what to compliment first; your cinematographic and calming video, your advice or the fact that you also include the safety aspects in the video. Love it! keep up the amazing work!
I find it nice to take photos at night especially with an a6000 and a manual lens, creativity flies in low light conditions. I have fun with what I have.Many tnks for the great vídeo.
What a masterpiece. This was so cinematic. I felt this video. That's the only way I can explain it.
Your calm at explaining things is what sets you apart! Keep it up….You have inspired my street photography game a ton. I have always been a bit shy doing street photography since I am a pretty big guy and kind seem intimidating to others. I don’t like the feeling of making others uncomfortable, but following your advice is allowing to get out there making sure that I don’t make others uncomfortable!
Another channel which I think you'll love is William Sheepskin, he onlyt shoots film but his videos feel similar to Faizals!
I love shooting at night something about it is just so calming
A really captivating video. The soundtrack, ambience, calming narration and genuinely useful tips. I look forward to your releases especially with the x100v and minimalist approach.
Good video...
Safety at night: One thing I noticed in the video that I’d say you shouldn't do when out photographing at night is; not use headphones or earbuds as it stops you being audibly aware of what is around you.
Not only for traffic ( a bin lorry or delivery truck reversing for example) but to be also be aware of possible trouble heading your way… nights means people out drinking and being drunk etc.
Be aware, stay safe, enjoy.
Night photography is the only photography I thoroughly enjoy every minute of. Even if I get home and they are all trash photos. Just the act of having my camera out at night satisfies me.
Love seeing the progression of your story telling and video production skills 😁
Awesome video! Love the way you explain things, what to expect and not to be discouraged and just experiment. Thanks for sharing these tips. Learning a lot from you and Roman!
Love that one! Can’t help telling myself: what? That’s too short. Your flow, your edit, yours shots, your music: really a whole experience that reflects your relaxed way of photographying and yet so much focused. That’s what really sets you apart in the UA-cam space! Keep it up that way Faizal 👏
Your videos are amazing and always a great source of inspiration! Thank you so much for providing your experience to us and keep up the good work!
That 4x3 aspect ratio hit me by surprise. Like always, your videos are a work of art themselves. A tip I picked (don't remember where exactly) is when shooting at night, a film simulation or custom setting with a bit of a green tint in them can help with high ISO. Won't show less grain but it usually looks better.
4x3
@@kevincarver4759 Oh, you're right. My mistake. Thanks, fixed it.
Beautiful beautiful video. The pace of the edit, the music, the esthetic and of course your photos make this amazing to experience
I discovered your channel like 3 hours ago, instant sub, instant like, man you have improved so much the quality of your videos in less than a year it’s crazy-good, definitely check on those Fujifilm cameras in replacement of my old 17 y-o reflex
This video is a breath of fresh air for me. I am looking a nice camera mainly for street photography, and I've been watching countless videos at this point. This one hits different, though. Very nice calm vibe. Almost soothing to watch. Nice job, sir!
Love the pace, the tone of your voice. Instructive, relaxing and inspiring.
Mate, beautiful BEAUTIFUL video!! Incredible opening, and every shot (camera and video!) is astounding!
Been waiting fir this video 📹 👏
Your videos always make me feel so inspired to grab my gear,l (heck even if it’s just my phone), go out, and try again. As an anxious person who has been dealing with self-doubt, I’ve been putting a lot of things on hold, especially my photography because I’ve been feeling drained. So glad I came across your channel while looking for camera reviews. Listening to your voice and watching your videos help calm me down. I’m looking to buy a new camera soon and I can’t wait to try my hand at street photography. Thank you. I hope I can become good enough to join you in the streets in the future. ❤️
Love your videos, Faizal. This edit is wonderful. Cheers from Norway!
I like the direction you are going with your filmmaking. Definitely different and new
Sublime, sheer pleasure to just kick back and watch. Thank you Faizal.🙂
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Your videos have really leaped forwarded in quality. Awesome job!
Love this! Shooting at night is such a blast! 🔥🔥
this video was so beautiful. as someone whose struggled with nighttime street photography for a while, you gave some genuinely useful tips! definitely will take some inspiration from this in my future work
Love all the b-roll!! So good!
Music choice for the video is great as well! Love the episode, thanks!
Love this type of content. Great video!
I love your videos Faizal, you have a very soothing voice to listen to, your content is authentic, sincere and you’re so modest despite being a very talented photographer and content creator. There’s something special about UA-camrs who don’t shout or brag or pretend to know everything. Keep being you! Nice one
One of my favourite videos of you to date!
i really really enjoy your work, it's always a good moment when i watch your videos. thank u for this
Love the vibes man 😍
Beautiful video, really informative. Love shooting at night, have taken lots from this that I’ll incorporate into my approach 👊
Simply one of the best street photography channels on YT Exceptional quality video and excellent content Well done‼️
Great video. Beautiful cinematography and music. Felt like a transcendental experience!
Amazing choice of music, really suits this video perfectly!
This video makes me wanna go out and shoot at night! Good one, Faizal! Way to go!
Very good video with lots of very good advice. Respecting people's privacy is something that one NYC vlogger in particular should learn.
I love your work and your channel. I have learned so much!! Thank YOU for sharing...
Faizal ... very impressive lesson. I learned a lot. Have been photographing for quite some time, but not much at night. Your video has helped me with the motivation to go out and give it a try and use some of things you've highlighted. You are a gifted teacher and a dedicated and creative photographer.
Great tips. Thank you Faizal
Been waiting for a new video
What a great Video. I picked up my first Fujifilm (x100v) about 6 months ago. I needed to hear your comment about using a high iso at night. Very helpful. I'm always sketched out raising that iso and it results in me not taking many night photos. Thanks for the inspiration.
Really well done. Thanks for making and posting the video.
We said Faizal! Safty is paramount. Love your channel, big help and inspiration to my photography. Cheers bud ☺
Thank you Faizal. Very easy and informative video. Nice pictures. All good for you
The vibes if this video 👌🔥 it gets me motivated to go shoot at night
Loved the storytelling in this video!
You made me wander around outside for a few hours after a long day of work, great video!
Yay another video
Night photography is my favorite. I always get better photos at night instead during the day. It’s really cool to see someone’s SEE the same things I SEE while taking photos.
As someone who shoots almost entirely at night, i really appreciate this video. You touched on a lot of things i do, but don't take the time to think about it clearly.
Some of my favorite shots of yours by far are in this video 👏
This is full of great advice! Thank you!
Lovely video Faizal!
I love shooting at night it has a soothing tranquility which grabs me every time I do it.
You are absolutely right by saying "embrace the noise" because nowadays most digital cameras have such a nice way of handling noise as if it was grain. Just remember when there was high ISO film, the grain was dramatic and not always as nice... I shoot often up 6400 on my X-E4 and don't even bother...
I discovered your channel in the last few weeks and I love it, I am learning so much. I am a night shooter (?) and your videos were making me want to shoot during the day... Until I saw this video. Now I'm even more sure than before that night photography is what I like.
yes, what you mentioned definitely resonates with my experience. nighttime photography is completely different, requiring a slower pace to observe.
vid soothing man I love night photography
Complimenti un video eccezionale !!!! Ti seguo da prima di comprare la mia X100V e i tuoi contenuti sono sempre fonte di ispirazione. Questo video in particolare apre grandi opportunità per sperimentare nuovi scatti. Bellissimi musica e ritmo di questo lavoro. Thanks for share you job keep doing more like this 😎 Ciao from Italy !
Never mind everything else, your voice is amazing!
you sir are underrated your video is produced at a movie level and you give advices not only about photography but also safety and morality keep it up i love your content ❤❤
music selections were on point for this vid d00d
Great vlog and very wise words and tips
Thanks for all of your videos, especially this one since I normally head out at night in NYC trying to learn to shoot better photos
Your music choice and sound design was top notch.
this was filmed and edited beautifully
I love the new aspect ratio for the video!
love the video!
great tips and soothing voice to listen in
Great Video as always Faizal! Will try out some ICM next time out in the night!
Mate, I think you are more of a night time photographer than you think. The shots in this were great 👍
Really enjoyed the vid 🫡👍👍
I love experimenting with motion with blue light when it's past sunset, it's one of my favorites.
Green Uniqlo sweater & beanie has become my UA-cam uniform 🤣
Thanks for the great work. 👍🙂
Just come across your youtube page and very impressed. Needless to say I have subscribed and looking forward to more excellent videos from you.
Great video man! Your talking head shots look great, how do you colour them?
I am inspired here. I love shooting night photography, and I recently started shooting with film more at night. I would recommend CineStill T800 film if you have a little more experience with film. It is tungsten-balanced, and it works really well for low-light photography. If you are interested in B&W photography, Ilford and Kodak produce 3200 iso film (Ilford available in 120 and 35mm). When shooting at night, it's not a bad idea to venture out as a group.
Amazing night time photos. Great video!
So cool music selection for this one, congratulations.
nice video mate, and nice aspect ratio!
been craving for a new video 👏
Sorry it took a while haha
You are a very thoughtful guy. Nice video
Damn boi I whatched that at night and this video is crazy relaxing. i love in an love your work bro
BEAUTIFUL tips - I'll put it to use in my night photowalk tomorrow! Night photo has trained me to become meditative and to go within myself!
Love that!
Love your style, close to asmr. Getting you those long view times ;)
Great work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great Video. I'm from Germany and you got me into street photography😊😊
I don't know how to describe this video, but it's look like a movie especially the night footage and I love that:)
Excellent video.. 👊🏾
I always find peace, every time I watch your video.
