I live in dtla and didn’t know about the last spot. This is such a great guide for people who always ask me where they should shoot but I can’t always be there it guide them. So thank you for this!

Questions? Let me know. Should I do a whole series of my favorite photography/film spots in Los Angeles? If you more, let me know in the comments what you'd like to see.

Some spots in West LA would be nice!

Downtown used to look so much nicer. Somehow it still looks rundown even after it's been renovated. There's spots and shooting locations all over LA, it's a big place. But it's nice to see Downtown get a little love.

Yes of course more vids on location suggestions would be great. Always want a place that is relatively safe for the model and me

@WalidAzamiTV 9 ай бұрын

Thank you! What type of locations are you looking for?

@photo818 9 ай бұрын

@@WalidAzamiTV well I’ve shot plenty in and around the arts district but would like warehouse buildings not necessarily indoors but outdoors. In the past the model and I would drive around until a cool alley or not so trafficked street, mostly on Sundays, and get out and take some quick shots before sketchy people would appear. I know it’s LA and this comes with the territory but it’s great when others share their locations

YES!!!!! Funny thing is, I was in DTLA when someone was following my guide and taking photos there. She looks at me and says "hey we're watching your video right now". Hope you have a successful shoot!

@@WalidAzamiTV - I was thinking we might run into each other since I frequent DTLA for my photo walks; although it's been a minute since I've been back. If I do see you we definitely need to grap a coffee and shoot some parking lots! 📸

Athena Parking on Hill and 9th used to have rooftop access with an amazing backdrop of the JESUS SAVES neon sign at the Ace Hotel. Went a few months ago and they'd welded the door to the roof shut 😢

With all due respect, downtown La resembles more Chicago than New York seeing that Chicago and Los Angeles are mirror cities because of Route and t 66 and the train station connects both cities and wrought a lot of people in synergy

Some great spots in this video. If only people would stop putting progressives in office LA would have a chance to clean up. Our current DA is a nightmare.

@WalidAzamiTV 6 ай бұрын

Thanks. Not sure who’s progressive in LA - it’s a lot of corporate democrats disguised as true progressives.
