If Austin Powers was a street photographer

in 2 videos, Alan has become my favourite Street Photographer on youtube

I love how Alan just doesn't seem to take himself too seriously, while still being very informative and knowledgeable about his craft. His videos have, quite honestly, improved my perception of the typical Leica M “snob”. Alan proves that Leica M shooters can be quite likable.

The number one thing we needed was for Alan to begin video content. These are fantastic! Probably the only thing I want to watch now. No need for tutorials, camera accessory reviews. Just good wholesome cowboy creativity. Get out there and shoot!

the humour is just fantastic, and how informative you are when explaining is just impeccable! man you deserve ASAP that 100k plaque from YT!!

allan has mastered his camera like a samurai does with his sword.. incredible

F8 and be there!

Two features I love when doing street photography are a tilty screen. I like to shoot from a low angle sometimes without bending down. I’m 71 and find getting down is easier than getting up. The other feature I love is a touchscreen. Alan zone focuses. I auto focus. He has books published and a YouTube channel. I don’t. Consider that. I set my touchscreen to autofocus and then shoot. It helps not having to touch the shutter button.

Thank you Alan for your lessons. A big fan.

Really wish there was a comprehensive online street photography course where all these useful tips were compiled in the correct order in a structured way from beginner to advanced level. Consuming random bits of information is not the best way to learn because it'll often lead to learning things in the incorrect order and gaps in knowledge.

1.4 is impressive even on a 24mm lens. I will try f2 on my 28  with a focus distance of 2m and see how it goes.

I don’t think I ever watch a vid that is this informative AND fun at the same time ever !!!
I can’t thank you enough for taking this to the next level ! 🙏

I'm finding myself binge watching all of Alan's videos, at least twice so far. 😁

For a moment there I forgot this was a photography video. 😂 Alan is hilarious.

I use to be very good at shooting from the hip, back when I lived in NYC and did it every day. But that was years ago. Just got back from a trip to Europe where I thought I would bet back into it. Out of 5 ish rolls of film where I tried shooting form the hip I maybe got 2 good photos! Most were blurry, out of focus or poorly framed. Now I'm out here training every chance I get to bering my skills back up to par! Thanks for the great video

The tip on seeing the screw or flange is great! Thanks. Cant wait to try it on my M7.

Love your light hearted comedic approach

These videos are great. It really shows the fun side of Alan you'll never find in Youtube before this channel existed.

Before, you'll only see the "serious" Alan. The strict and wise professor kind of thing. But in these videos, he's able to share his wisdom while being goofy and, I presume, just being himself.

For me, the hard part of shooting from the hip is not the focusing (I use zone focusing a lot anyway), it's usually the composition that is messed up. Heads are chopped off and all that. Well, the only thing that really helps is practicing, I suppose... Great video as always!

By far the best photography channel out there, the details, quick to the point, well put together and easy to learn, really helped take my photography to the next level. Big fan of your work, glad you have decided to do this channel to help others!

I probably push the shutterbutton more often with my thumb than my index - so i fully approve the hip shots 😂
