Hellooo, I hope you enjoyed this episode - I'm really happy with the final result of this video. After shooting with Flo I wasn't yet sure how to bring it all together, but I think it turned out pretty cool. Thank you to Flo ( @analoguevibez ) for showing me the gorgeous forest and adding his perspective to the video! <3


Wishing you a lovely weekend!
Teo

15 minute video summed up in 4 words : bring your camera everywhere

[Warillusen]

I think, your style videos for someone getting into photography is beyond just beginner. It's the feeling of someone wanting to improve, it's profound enough to let a viewer think on their own while you gently nudge them to a similar appeal that you would have.

I think having to carry the camera and take the time to snap photos are not the only friction points when you want to make photography a habit. You also then need to spend time and effort developing, organizing or editing them, which can be even more challenging. Another thing is finding the motivation to take and edit photos when you've got no audience that would appreciate them, whether it be your friends or strangers on the internet.

flo gives off such a calm, content and lively vibe

I absolutely love that film like aesthetic in your videos, those warm tones, grainy shots and the composition of your scenes are just inspiring. You definitely inspire me to take more picture and become a better photographer. Keep up your great work Too!

This entire year I've been bringing my A9 with me every time I leave the house in my car, and just randomly stopping at places on my way to and from destinations, taking pictures of things that I find interesting. Sometimes while driving... LOL.

Out of that initial general list, I gotta say that I can't understate that good sleep does help (as it does with everything). I've suffered through a lot of insomnia on a semi-regular basis and I can see in the frames when my brain is suffering from lack of sleep. You sometimes don't even feel too different, but it's evident when you're looking back!

[lachlanhempell]

woah I got the chills when you were showing Flo's photos, especially the ones of the light rays, really cool

[Ondori]

I absolutely love your videos. The aesthetics, the music, the photos, everything is just perfect. Your videos have helped me a great deal in becoming more confident in my photography. Which in turn made me able to dedicate my final examination project to photography and nature which really makes me happy.
Your videos have also helped and still help me get through a tough time. My mother-in-law got sick about 6 months ago and sadly passed away way too young a couple of weeks ago. Those last moment really taught me to appreciate the simple and mundane things around us and these videos somehow really help me to get my mind in order.
I really hope you keep on making great videos and keep having fun.

Amazing video, Teo! I had to pause the video several times and reflect on the insights you and Flo were sharing. You inspire me so much! xx

Hey guys it’s a long shot that you’ll see this comment but I started shooting about 2 years ago or so after my first trip to Italy since then I’ve been to Iceland and our most recent EU trip Germany more specific south of Munich in a city called Zorneding, we would drive through the forest almost every afternoon to eat in Aying and it was beautiful. I’m so jealous of your homeland. Quite the astonishing place to live. I’ve found it’s quite hard to find that excitement in places you live day to say so I thought hearing it from someone like me would be a good message for all.

[godlikee]

the roadtrip scenes to germany are beautiful

greetings from lower austria

[randyschwager]

Excellent message! Well produced! Thanks for taking me along!

[LaVieBoheme]

Both of your photography is simple breathtaking. I'm so captivated by you and your work. What a beautiful world we have.

[alexanderjoseramos]

Amazing video Teo! I’ve always had a passion for photography. For me, It’s a beautiful hobby that makes you appreciated life as it is and capture those moments. This video has inspired me to keep practicing my photography skills and maybe, who knows, sale my photographs to make a living.

[mariliaogayar]

Loved this, such simple effective advice and stunning, inspiring work Flo!!

[chrisbird]

This could not ring more true, the fun got sucked out of photography for me so I sold commercial gear & stopped looking for any clients. Just focused on my career, bought a pocket camera with fixed 28mm. It’s been 2 years since then and I’ve since found the love I’ve lost. In that time of having a camera on me daily for two years, I took my best shots I’ve ever taken. I just wrapped up a succesful self printed, binded & published photobook using only those images.

[saimamahdia]

okay. this was very therapeutic
very very therapeutic

[joestrahl]

Another excellent, slow paced and thoughtful video: thanks !!
I use peak design clips on my backpacks with arca swiss type plates mounted under the camera. That way the camera is always there on the backpack strap and there is no friction to immediately shoot with my Panasonic Lumix G80 or G9.
