suuuuper nice to see the authenticity of the process and well worth the rejections for those great results. Appreciate you being so transparent and honest about your interactions - great vid as always.

Wait, what!? Photography isn’t easy and you make mistakes and get (nicely) rejected?! Thanks for showing the REAL process. Some days I drive and get no photos. All part of the process, you gotta get your reps in. Nice work approaching these people. I personally offer them a print and/or digital. People seem to like to receive the image of them in their element. Keep it up!

It is really bizarre how all of my (imaginary) obstacles and challenges are solved in this single piece of brilliantly filmed tutorial. Much obliged, young man!

Man the side shot of the corvette with the flags is just beautiful

That was some secondhand discomfort haha but I really liked it. It was cool to see how you can start a conversation with these people who do let you take their portrait in the end. It gives the pictures more meaning and a better story. On top of that, they were some awesome shots too.

Damn this is good. Knocking on doors is next level commitment. There's such an endearing feeling to the photos once you hear Steve's voice.

I am so glad you included all of the rejection. It really shows the honest process to taking these portraits. Wonderful vid man

Love this .. to actually give the viewers how it is to confront strangers for a photo with their cars.. I’ve done this a handful of times and , yeah I have to build up the courage to get a conversation started.. finally I can see somebody else doing what I do haha 😂.. good stuff Bryan!

This is s very brave, soulful and solitary approach to storytelling. You are very likely to grow into much more in depth and collaborative projects in the future. There's a lot to be said for slowing things down. I wish I could do that more. 🍀

The entire video from start to finish is not only important but incredibly helpful.

Love the one with the guy and the car and the flag

Mad props really man. To literally go knocking on doors 🤯 inspiring seriously.

Hi Bryan, I love not only your photos but also this whole project. Each story that you share is like a poem. Became your huge fan!!

Love this photo project! When you said you took the wrong turn I immediately thought about Bob Ross quote "we don't make mistakes, we have happy accidents". Keep it going!

This is so inspiring! Great photos too!

This is absolutely fantastic. I really want to get into this type of work too. Thanks so much

Really great advice i was given, was to take out a small portfolio of 5-6 prints. That way you have something to show people and gain their trust pretty quickly. Otherwise some people don't understand why you want to take their photograph and how they will be represented. If you took that print of the guy back to the ones that said no, i reckon most will change their mind plus anyone else you approach in the future.

Its great to see the process of working up the courage to take these photos. Thanks for sharing and being vulnerable.

Hey man, really liked the video. Thank you for showing the rejections and the missed focus shot here too. Keep doing what you're doing!

Love love this kind of video. Keep it and thank you to do so.

wow, such a great video! really cool to see how you interact and deal with rejection, keep up this great content man

What a crazy inspiring video man! You totally made my day!!

Appreciate the honesty and your process. Its real. Really enjoy your videos mate.

These are so beautiful. I love the honesty in your videos and quite honestly, I'm very jealous of all that access to so much nice gear. You made some really nice images!!

Great video as always

Fantastic video. Love the persistence and honesty. Also you are brave - I would never try this in the burbs 😐

Asking folks to take their photos is always nerve wracking but worth it in the end. The rejections don’t hurt as much as you expect and more say yes than no. Great shots mate. Love this cars.

Love it man. This is one of my favorite things to do!

This was great, you have patience and guts!!

Bryan, you got balls man! Awesome video. Those photos were beautiful.

Actually loved just the audio paired with the photos. So sweet, great photos

You had so much courage to take all those "no" and kept going, it's really impressive. It was well worth it because the images you got are great :)

This was calming and it was inspiring. Been a little uninspired but this was bold and gave me a desire to shoot. Thank you.

Wow, my man! beautiful pictures!

Love the idea of the project! Love the Video! Love the pictures! 💙

This is a refreshing video, honest and inspiring. I really like the full body portrait with the flag on the left (10:15). Awesome stuff!

Awesome video and great project.

Great to watch "the process" in action (or inaction for the first attempts). I think I'm happy to just watch you knocking on strangers' doors. I'll do this vicariously!

Great watch. Really enjoyed this one.

Super cool video, the intro definitely helped paint a clear picture of what the process is actually like.

Love your work man!

Love the behind the scenes content. Nice work

Hunting for specific photos is hard. I have an idea for a book. I went out at the weekend looking for a specific type of photo, and got nothing. When I came back I realised I'd seen lots of other interesting stuff, but hadn't photographed it because I was so focussed on my quest. Usually I photograph anything that catches my eye, then find themes and make books later. I need to learn to do both. Photograph everything and look for specific photos. I've got to be able to handle that, right? Also, love your videos. Like your photos, they have their own great style.

Such a beautiful video!

This is an epic video. The portraits were amazing.

Really cool stuff. I've been watching your channel for awhile been wanting to dip my toe into large/medium format film photography. I've spent the last 5 years doing media in automotive working mostly in classic restoration shop. My wife and I were wanting to start doing something similar telling stories of owners and there cars. We travel all over the US and have connections in a lot of places so depending where your at I might be able to find you people I've met along the way that have cool cars, although I enjoy watching your organic approach. Anyways man I always appreciate the content.

Can’t beat the look of large format! Great shots btw

Omg that car 😱😱 soo beautiful!

Come out to Pasadena. I went out last weekend and everyone wanted their photos taken. Such hams 😂

Solid work man! Inspired me to go out and shoot today!

Great video, thanks for sharing. I know you can't mention every youtuber that does photography but I was a little disappointed with the omission of Nick Carver, he does fabulous work with his 6x17 Shen Hao.

Man I live on the south side of San Antonio, TX if I were to do that I’d get shot or poked lol Really great video 🙏🏾

Wow that’s awesome!! And what a nice old man you met. Did you emailed him photos or show him? I hope so :)

This series is 👌🏻

steve rocks

amazing

Steve's rad!

Get a film magnifying glass/viewer to place at the ground glass for critically precise focus!!! Hope this recommendation can be of help🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️

Super 👍

This has inspired me to start a similar project photographing locals around where I live in the UK. Hoping to start next week and see where it goes. Did you feel there were any things you learnt doing this? I imagine keeping up the conversation whilst also trying to get compositions nailed etc can be a bit flustering.

Great video Bryan, do you tell these people where the photo is going? (ex: instagram, YT, etc)? I've got a portrait of an older man before who was pretty off the grid and was very insistent on his photo not being put on the internet. Curious how you handle this as it is a bit of a grey area compared to say asking for permission if you're print publishing a photo of them.

was the portrait with the flag (love it) shot wide open or maybe F4? always nice to have a reference for what things might look like in different situations

Question: With Steve, did you offer to give him a photograph? If so, do you pick one (or more) to have printed and then mail or deliver it?

Did you gave Steve his portraits ? How did he felt ?

Do you use a loupe? Or tilt the lens in any way?

This is something I will never do, too chicken to k strangers like that

Unfortunately the rejection and comments from the guy about the fear of being sued are all to real due to low life con artist and scammers. It's sad that others are negatively affected by that, but that's just today's reality. I am curious if you offer something tangible as gratitude to the ones that participate like perhaps a print or something? Just curious.

Your approach sucks, its so cold. Warm them up a bit and say something like "You're place looks awesome" or something. You come off like a robot I WANNA TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR PROPERTY.
