I moved to NYC literally a week before the city (and world) shut down. My main passion is writing/flash fiction, but I started getting into street photography last year while traveling the States and in Europe. When I moved here, I had a grand vision (like everyone else) about how photographing the city would be; that my creativity would come alive every time I walked out of the apartment with my camera. However, for obvious reasons, street photography has been extremely difficult strictly for the drastic lack of subject matter walking around these days, even 6 months after the official start of Covid. Everything in this video reminds me of what I’d always imagined NYC to be, especially for street photography. Even tho this version of the city is still very, very far away, it was cathartic to watch this and think about what could have been - and about what will be back one day, no matter how long it takes. Great content, love your channel!

These video’s keep getting better each time you upload! The quality is always on point and at a certain level (must be the Japanese roots 😉). Your style of videography fits the streetphotography you’re known for, it’s very natural and doesn’t feel forced. You managed to develop an own kind of style that sets you apart from other channels! 👌🏼 But your strongest point is that you take your time, you’re not afraid to upload a 30+ min video and I like that. It really helps to tell the story of your guests and makes it interesting (and somehow calming 💆🏻) to watch. Looking forward to your future endeavors in 2020!
@SamuelStreetlife4 жыл бұрын
Man! Thank you for your lovely comment Marc! It is very rewarding getting that kind of appreciation after all the hard work that went into each video so thanks! My rule for youtube will always be to create videos that I would enjoy watching myself. I love documenting things I like and I often think my videos are too long but also don't want to produce content for people who have no time. I want people to take the time for my videos and take it all in, even if it's over 30 minutes. Thankfully a lot of people do that and as long as I can keep up with it, I will continue doing that. Thanks again and happy new year! :)
