About time someone stuck up for lefties. Loved left eye, left hand & left focused. Truly enjoyed. Very talented. Thanks

Thank you to all the comments from people who enjoyed the video. I’m glad you like it, it was certainly a hectic shoot!

"Looking stupid - I have it down to a fine art" !! Brilliant video for any street photographer to watch and learn from. Matt is the master

[pamfricke]

I'm happy to hear you say that most shots are misses, because coming from a more experienced photographer to an amateur, this is reassuring. I also find the process rewarding even if the end result is less than I had hoped.

matts eye for detail blew my mind in this video. To pick up on something as simple as hand size truly shows him as a master of his craft.

Was not to sure to have a go and watch this. Probably I've seen one of my favourite street shot. The guy holding his hand over his eye and carrying a bag with an eye on it. How you spotted that was truly amazing. Thank you.

[DebiSenGupta]

This was amazing. It's always fantastic how great photographers like Matt have such clear thoughts about their photography and think in such detail about every aspect.

It would have be nice to see the photos he shot during the walk. Anyway always a huge pleasure to follow Matt on his path

[Mindartcreativity]

This is the content we need! There are so many great modern street photographers that need a video like this. So inspiring and motivating, really! Thanks for the video!

[nickharvey]

Really informative video. Good to see how Matt shoots in the field. Thanks.

[stillkim]

Great to se Matt in action. I got his Think Like a Street Photographer (fantastic), but watching him in full effect was real nice.

[TheUrbandilema]

This was very educational I appreciate this behind the scenes as I also dabble in street photography but as a hobby gave me lost of perspective especially on the left hand /right side as well as him saying to have fun and not take it seriously

[aguevara]

Loved this entire video but I especially loved the human and personal words by Matt at the very end. Well done!

[iaincphotography]

A very enjoyable watch, great guy great work.

[AristeidisSfakianos]

That was really fun. It is nice to see similarities and differences to the way other's and I shoot. I should also say that I love Matt's positive vibes! Good one!

[keithalabaster]

What a fantastic video, thank you for sharing and thanks to Matt for creating it. Refreshing to get insight on approach, rationale and technique instead of tons of camera settings info, extremely enjoyable to watch.

I used to re-spool 35mm film from 100ft. stock to cassettes and after shooting would developer and proof print the day’s take. At prevailing prices then the cost seemed negligible. Not so today! But even then I was somewhat aware that there was a cost incurred each time I pressed the shutter button. I don’t think that I could be so cavalier about shooting film today so I hesitantly switched to digital but I still miss the physical aspects of shooting with my second-hand Leica.
