Laura isn't capturing joy, she exudes it and shares it with others. The world needs more like her.

She has so much disposable energy. It baffles me to see something like this after all those years of depression. Good for her!

i want to be like her, but i am afraid to be so positive and infectious. its like as a man its not manly to be positive, as if it might lead to people think i am after something or they will try to get something from me

@GimmeSomeAdventure 4 ай бұрын

@@cyano3d i feel the same, we can definitely be more positive than we are though, but its a struggle out there, i made my first video recently and i couldn't even bring myself to do voice over or be on camera im so in my head and awkward shy but one step at a time maybe i'll be as outward showing as this girl one day, lets be real same thing with men crying its looked down upon it seems, hell i've never seen my dad cry, but i think that vibe is slowly changing in the real work, but it does is remind me of the quote "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation" i feel that for sure!

@gcoutdoors904 Ай бұрын

She is one of my favorite u have had on so far. I really admire folks who can bring positive light to folks who never get photos of themselves taken. Everyone deserves to have a good photo of themselves. Im finding older men are usually the most happy to get photos taken of themselves or of their stuff. It's that little smile and change of energy that's worth it.

This is such a different way of approaching street and it definitely shows in her portfolio. This is evidence that no KZfaq video, course, influencer, or class, can really change who you are. You're born with it and nothing can change that, I've thought about this recently how there's a particular way I approach street that no matter really what I do I fall back into shooting that way. You may be able to improve or add things but at the end of the day there's a skeleton you start with and that's just the way it is. She approaches street like Laura Fuchs and nobody else and I tremendously respect and admire that.

He's not mentioned enough on KZfaq photography videos. Awesome she got to meet him. He's one of my favorites too, his documentaries are amazing. That's actually who I thought of watching her in the video. She has a great personality and smiles with and for people. She gained a new fan and follower from me. Definitely inspiring me to get out there in my city using both digital and film. 👏🏾👍🏾 Pauly can we get the names of all the photographers she took pics of? 😁

That’s so untrue. I live in Malmö, Sweden and is out on the streets a couple of days a week sometimes and almost always chitchat with people. No matter if I’m shooting in Sweden or abroad. I’m usually walking the streets with a smile on my face and often have people coming up to me talking and asking me for taking their pictures. And I’m a tall 59 year old man. You receive what you send out.

I'm halfway thought and can say that this is undoubtedly THE BEST tutorial on street photography. Forget gear/settings videos. Her charisma and personality should be a lesson to everyone. Secondly, thanks to her, I've decided to bring my Nikon D700 with battery grip on my next travel. No more 'it's too heavy' excuses!
