New Photography Gear I'll be Using in 2023

In today's video I'm sharing some gear I picked up in 2022, that I'm excited to use throughout the new year.

Love what you said about appreciating a cheap point and shoot, and putting that time, resources, and attention into just going out and finding wonderful things to capture. All this stuff we do is just a reason to go out and find things in the world!

Thanks for the love, Willem! Glad you dig the tripod, and even more glad it helps you put dope content out in the world.

babe wake up, new film photo video dropped

[gusdstevens]

Recommending the cheap point and shoots was such a homie move. So many ppl are chasing the expensive stuff, it so reassuring to have someone like you recommend against spending $1k on something that can break 🙏🙏

Ciao Willem, I smiled seeing your point-and-shoot photos, the running guy etc. Funny to say, those are the best ones in my view from the whole reportage :-)

It would be cool to see how you edit the GFX images to fit in with your film shots. Do you prefer any of the film sims on the GFX when you're out shooting? Thanks for the video - also loving the Wheelem channel!

Dude you are awesome! And love your photos!

[Vardagsvegan]

YOU'RE SO GOOD. Are all your photobooks gone? I NEED.

After watching this video I bought an Olympus zoom for when I go on trips and everyday use, and I’ve had so much fun with it. It cost me $20 and the photos come out great. Thanks

Great video! Inspired me to make my own for 2024! Just bought one of your film pouches too and love it! Thank you

Regarder tes vidéos est un réel plaisir. J'aime ta simplicité. Merci pour ce que tu fais. Hâte de voir la suite. Thanks Willem

Whoa, incredible photos from your point-and-shoots! The one at 06:28 is just wow! I love the one at 7:37 made with a pro camera also. Maybe your next formal on-line class needs to be what you look for when walking around and how you see, and then compose, these incredible compositions. Years of experience and very good taste, I guess, but we all hope you have some secrets to share.

You also mentioned something that could be a topic for one of these videos. Once upon a time, you did a YouTube tutorial on editing film photos in Lightroom, but you mentioned something a skill here that video didn't cover, which is how you match the look of digital and film images so well. I bought your "Walking Svalbard" book back in the day, and I remember you're saying that you used your Canon for a few of the photos when it got so cold out the Mamiya 6x7 would no longer function. I was amazed how every photo in that book blends so perfectly, in spite of the very different capture formats. How you edit your digital captures in general is maybe a broader, better topic.

Okay, aside from my wishlist of future video ideas, it's always great to be inspired by your work in all of these productions. Looking forward to that new engine start, too! Cheers, Willem!

Good luck with your New Photography Equipment because you deserve so much more! and Happy New Year 2023.😊

[ReviveTheWildy]

love your work, and jelous u got to meet Kevin!

[TenskwatawaU]

Kevin Nealon is a gem! Glad you got to do a shoot of him. There was something so special about the SNL 1.0 and 1.2 crew (1.2 because it introduced Bill Murray!), an act SNL never could follow.

2023 is gonna be the year of the FX3 I can feel it

[DominicAJ]

Yo please consider making that sample colorway of the tote an actual product. The black for some reason just makes it way more aesthetically pleasing for day to day use. A full black colorway like the smaller bags would be cool too, but really love that mix of the two styles.

[AdrianIII]

I am happy to see you mention the GFX camera. I would like to see you use it more for your personal photography... not just not professional assignments. What do you say?

[coldramen]

I do agree how expensive point and shoots are glamorized. I just got into film and I was fixated on purchasing a Contax as my first point and shoot. I ended up going with the good ol' Olympus Stylus 105 and I could not be happier. I plan on purchasing a Canon AE-1 as my first official 35mm camera and even then the total doesn't even come close to what a Contax costs.

Another great video today!
I expect an introduction to GFX and Old Lens! 😇
