Even though this is 4 years old, I want you to know I love every photo you show. Every one

I feel like everyone is watching me as soon as I lift the camera up.

One thing I have noticed on my walkabouts is there is a definite "warmup phase" to the day, as if I'm doing a workout!  A good 20 minutes of finding the groove and limbering up. Great video.

Thanks, this is one of the best process videos I’ve watched, and studied. What makes it more valuable is that you direct the process to the artistic interests of the photographer and not to replicate someone else’s art (even your own), which is destined to fail. Well done!

I can’t stop looking at the photo at 7:42 (the deer). I don’t know what it is about it but it really moves me. Its really calming.

Your discussion of Balance is absolutely brilliant. This old man loves learning from you. Keep it up.

I think this is your best video yet. Extremely engaging and well thought out. Fantastic job. As for process, I usually will focus on a specific neighborhood at a particular time of day, wander around and photograph whatever captures my eye, be it people , signs, architecture, angles formed by light and shadows, whatever. Not having a specific goal keeps expectations down and helps me have fun.

I visit a local, larger city quite often, and will usually have a general objective for the day. Abstracts. People.  Details. Etc… While working on the objective, I also work to be open to whatever else catches my eye and pay attention to changes since the last visit. Thanks for sharing your process!

Roman you are the man, thank you so much

‘“Take photos of what you like” - best advice ever

Man I lived in London for a summer rehearsing a show and this just took me straight back. Miss that city so much sometimes. My favorite city in the world. COYG!

That train photo is staggering 👏. A great video idea would be your top 20 favourite photos you've taken of all time and the story behind them? 👍

Very well said. Great video and awesome photos mate!

Roman, you put those details very well and I am sure it will help loads of viewers .  

Light is something we often can do little about without resulting to flash .  But that is missing the point.  Windows , lamps and reflective surfaces all influence the perception of light .  An example of this may be how the light falls on a part of an object that in itself is not particularly interesting , but then a shaft of light alters and the subject is enhanced and draws our attention and asks us how we are going to use it or ignore the subject .

Intuitive thoughts are very emotive and come from observing a scene or reflecting on a image that appeared somewhere that caught our eye and our imagination .  

After light it is training our senses to see and react to what is before us and being willing to adapt and work the scene to achieve an outcome .  Post processing does the rest .  

You are very good Roman . You take a complicated subject and convey it enjoyably .

The idea of a 'photo set' is a really good suggestion. I have not even given that any thought before. I see it as almost like having your own little gallery show of each trip out.

I always enjoy your videos. I’ve learned a lot from you.. at this point in my photography journey I just walk around to see what I can find. That can also vary, depending on what videos I’ve recently watched.

The light, the light, the light! This is the best advice I heard all year! It ironic that as a photographer that needs light, I didn't think of it's nature and to "walk" with it. Thank you for this advice, and I will implement it on my next street walk. Also thanks for the photo set advice, this always slips my mind and I need a contact reminder about it.

You really talk about make-or-break stuff that nobody else is mentioning (and I've looked a lot)
Thank you!!

Hello Roman. I'm from Portugal and a photography enthusiast - just a hobby, I'm really a teacher! I live in a small town, 70 km from Porto, and, in the past year or so, I've been going there regularly to "try" to do street photography! Your photographs of the city of Porto will certainly serve as an inspiration😉. Best regards.

Great video mate! Watching your back-library really helps/helped me becoming a better photographer. I also studied photography at uni, then documentary, then lost my way a bit due to the daily grind (nothing related to my studies) and have now picked up a camera again (the XT3 btw) and I would say you helped swing this decision for which I am really grateful. Keep making youtubes! Your fan from Austria.
