You have a higher number of good pictures compared with other youtube pov street that i've seen.
Mont des arts, is actually where I bought my x100f last year 😊. This video reminds me to go more often to Brussels to shoot. Thx for the inspiration.
Octavian, you are a street photography Master, and this episode proves this yet again. I learn so much from you on composition, technique and so much more. Thank you for lighting up our days! Bart
Some great shots indeed. I like the one before the De Witte store also!
Thanks a lot! I like that one too 😀, even though it’s not that special :)
Good video, like the spots also. I've studied in Bxl and so cool to shoot street there.
Thanks 🙏 ! Glad you enjoyed the video 🤩
Salutare, unde e locul ăla cu oglinzi ?
Salut ! E ceva instalatie artistica ori comerciala ce se pregatea la Mont des Arts in partea de jos, in fata la Plein Publiek :D
Brilliant! I have lived all my life in Brussels, and know those spots, and many others, inside out. Your talent is to notice interesting people in the cityscape and capture their image in a compelling way. I often come back from my own Brussels photo strolls empty handed, frustrated by a lack of human interest subjects (I am doing ok with buildings, shapes, etc), but your video demonstrates that those human subjects exist, available for the snaps, and that it is me who fails to notice them. It is your approach that makes them interesting. I also love how you captured and synced the audio atmosphere (voices, noises) with your pics in this video. Technically, you have a great eye for composition. I notice you crop quite often in post, which is fine, but something I do not think through enough at capture stage, as I was educated in the film ways, where the aspiration is to get the final framing perfect as you trigger the shutter. Also I see you use the back screen rather than the viewfinder, also something that is not obvious for me to do, but i think helps tremendously in the streets, as absolutely everyone looks at screens. That makes the camera photographer much less conspicuous. Anyway, after seeing this, I'll get out there again today and try to get a few human subject keepers. Gives me hope. I think I'll follow your circuit.... ;) (did you visit the Elliot Erwitt exhibit on Grand Place?)
You're a great artist.
Thanks a lot for the kind words :) I wouldn’t say an artist but thanks 🙏!
#29 i seriously one the best for last.. Brussels is really nice ...love your work on the 35 great scene.. those sky mirrors are awesome..i love looking for moments all the time..
Thank you so much ! Brussels is nice indeed but keep in mind not all the places are nice to shoot, there are some sketchy areas that you do not want to go :D Thanks for watching !
Check out the work of Michael Ernest Sweet. He uses nothing but the Ricoh GR for over a decade now!!
Thanks a lot for the recommendation mate ! I will check it out! At a first glance that's solid work ! Cheers ! Feel free to recommend other photographers as well :)
I like most the one where they all looked in different directions, one lady on the phone and 3 more people. Your favorite with the red white tape is great as well. Your work is pretty outstanding
Thanks for watching Sebastian and thanks for the feedback on the pictures ! Appreciate your kind words ! Cheers !
Great series and locations mate. When do we have another walk together. It's been a while 😌
Thanks Dan ! Let me know when you are planning to come to Brussels again. I am going almost everyday if I don't work :D Cheers !
Or, I might come to Liege (if you are around) but not sure when yet ! :D
What lens are you using? Thanks
Hi Yvonne ! I am using a FUJI x100vi with a fixed lens, a 23 mm f2 lens which is the equivalent of a 35 mm in full frame. Hope it helps ! Cheers !
@@OctavianCarare thankyou for that, just found your channel by accident and loving your videos, I've just bought the XT5 never had a fuji before, so all experimentation just now till i get the hang of it, but looking at the x100VI not sure if I've made the right choice 🙂
XT5 is a great camera ! It really depends on what you want to shoot ! If you like the equivalent of the 35 mm you can buy a 23 mm f2 which is a great lens :)
Très chouette vidéo!! J'aime bcp la 4;12 et la 29 👌🏽
Merci mon pote ! A bientot j'espere !
Hello Octavian! I also liked #29, with #4 and #11. Mid-week, lot of tourists...still you brought home plenty of nice images of everyday life 👍
Once again, a lot of poetry in the intro and the outro, and very beautiful shots. These are great places for shooting street photography, but I suspect that you do just fine anywhere you shoot😉. And I think you chose very good your favorite shot. It's a great one. Well done, my friend👏👏🔥🔥
Almost meet each orther😂
Hopefully next time ! I go pretty often to these spots (specially city center)
Hey Octavian! Fantastic Video, love your intro and your Outro just great 👍 Your pictures are always so interesting. You have a great eye for seeing unusual spontaneous candid moments…you’re always capturing quirky people in your Street Photography. Thanks for creating this wonderful video and sharing it with us.😎✌️
Awesome video and shots! But where are the secret beer spots?🍻
Thanks Octavian ! :) For the beer spots I am going to be your personal guide when you come to Brussels :D
I've felt so very flat with my street photography lately..... then I watch an Octavian video and I seem cured. Inspired. Good to see you and your wonderful photos. 😎📷👏👍👋
I also love to go to the “Marolles”. La Place du Jeu de Balle is a nice spot since there is a flea market there almost every day. The “Marolles” is always one of my favorite places for shooting SF.
Fully agree with you Smaeyl :) However I prefer going to Marolles on Saturday as it is more busy and more vibrant. It's is a nice spot indeed :) Thanks for watching !
Excellent, as always.
Thank you! Cheers!

Images 4 and 11 the Magnifique intro! Cinnamon buns. Octavian you are living the dream.
I see you are more into light and shadow play Harry :). Glad you liked the intro and YES that cinnamon bun is soooo good :) . Thanks for watching !
Captivating post, Octavian. Don’t recall you doing a “favorite spots” segment before. Theme works well. Would work even better with a map diagram of some sort - e.g., side by side or as scene dividers, if that makes sense. Route marking would be icing on the cake. You’ve probably seen similar stuff on YT vids. Viewers might be tempted to click on location icon in vid, but to no avail (or not😊). Opening slo-mo captures everyday life so well - folks just doing their thing. Yes, have heard about August being vacation time in EU. Bun looks tasty. Best of this group, IMO: 4 - car reflection, light capture and silhouette all in one - nice; 5 hand mystery - peeks viewer curiosity; 6 framing; and 10, eye on wall (11 version has eye too near edge of frame to be very effective; and 16, napping guy looks like he is floating on air. Mirror spot worth a retry in future - perhaps during rain. Cheers!
That building in the background at 14:45 provided me with one of my best selling pics in 2019. The steps were crowded with Scottish football supporters in kilts and I just had a few seconds to get a quick shot - and for some unknown reason it was published for a big fee! Enjoyewd the video.
Great story. Well done. How did you go about selling that image? I used to sell a few on Stock Photo sites but I gave up uploading as sale prices became ridiculous.
Great photos as always!
Thanks a lot !
magnifique
Un grand merci !
Hey man, just came to Berlin and itching to meet other photographers & do some photo walks! Are there any meetups or clubs you know about here? Would be down to connect!
Hi mate! I would love to help you but I really have no idea. Maybe try to find some local Berlin photographers on instagram or a facebook group.
I liked the video within first minute. Awesome footage!
Great to hear that you enjoyed! Thanks for watching 👀!
Aww man, I love this ballet photography. The dancer was great.
Thanks a lot !
Hi Octavian, I always appreciate your clips. Especially now that I too have a Q2. Just wondering why you don’t crop in more to extract key images from the wider shots? Or, as usual it’s a matter of taste. Anyway - keep up the good work1
Hi Jody ! I do crop my images. It depends on the context or if the pictures are really busy but sometimes, in order to showcase the crowded streets (specially during days like these eg National Day, I keep them busy to show exactly the way it is, packed). Thanks for the comment ! Cheers !
Very nice work!
Thanks a lot mate !
I love your images! BTW, do you use mutli-point AF with your Q2?
Hi mate and thank you ! I always use AF and I use Field (centered) . For focusing sometimes I will use focus and recompose if time allows it !
lol I skipped you talking (sorry) and then was looking for a recipe at the end of the video. I am amazed that these shots are just straight from the camera with its own filter. They are stunning. My favorites are 1, 11, and 21
No worries, I am not very good at speaking to be honest :) glad you liked the shots ! Thanks for watching 👀
Octavian, what focus setting do you use to shoot so fast? SPOT/FIELD METERING, ZONE or TRACKING ? Thanks!!!
Hi Francesco! It’s field :)
hahaha nice man, Bucharest FTW! I film most of my talking heads outside also now that it is sunny! Desi cateodata e cam aglomerat 🤣
Bucharest FTW indeed :) . Aglomerat si extremely hot am inteles :))
@@OctavianCarare yeah, last week was the first time shooting a video when we decided it's too much sun, time for umbra urgent. Summer is not so aglomerat 🤣
Wat mij vooral stoort aan Streetphotographers is het feit dat ze zomaar foto’s van mensen maken zonder hun expliciete toestemming te vragen en die foto’s nadien eveneens zonder toestemming te vragen openbaar teb maken op het internet of elders te publiceren. Overigens is dat in de meeste gevallen gewoon verboden. Toegegeven, soms zijn daar wel mooie beelden bij. Maar helaas gooien ze daarmee ook de privacy van deze mensen te grabbel. En ja, een kleurrijke figuur in de stad kan misschien wel eens een mooie foto opleveren. Maar als je dat dan moet gaan vragen of je die foto mag maken, en niet te vergeten of je ze ook mag openbaar maken, en die persoon weigert dan heb je natuurlijk pech. Maar zo gaat het nu eenmaal, het is de vrijheid van de fotograaf te vragen die foto te mogen maken, maar het is die persoon zijn vrijheid om dat te weigeren. EN DAAR MOET DE FOTOGRAAF RESPECT VOOR HEBBEN en de privacy van die persoon eerbiedigen, dus in dat geval zonder die foto te maken.
Hi Ervano ! Thranks for your comment. As you probably already know, Street Photography is about the candid approach of photography and also about respecting the people you photograph. The pictures I show here are not in any circumstances putting the people in a bad light, just simply capturing them on the streets in a candid way. But I would love to hear your thoughts about how street photography shoot be practiced :) Cheers !
@@OctavianCarare Het respecteren van de mensen die je fotografeert begint met de vraag of je hen mag fotograferen en of je eventueel de foto mag publiceren. Een neen heb je, een ja kan je misschien krijgen. Al de rest is praat voor de vaak. Dit heeft totaal niks te maken met wat en hoe dan ook tenzij met het respect voor de mensen en hun privacy. En het speelt HELEMAAL GEEN ROL of het om streetfotografie gaat of wat dan ook. JE MAAKT GEEN FOTO’S VAN VREEMDEN ZONDER HUN TOESTEMMING. Dat is toch niet moeilijk te verstaan. Wat streetfotografie dan volgens mij wel mag inhouden? Geen idee, en het interesseert me ook niet, maar zonder mijn toelating maak je GEEN FOTO’S van mij, laat staan ze openbaar te maken op of met welk medium dan ook. Het zou je zuur kunnen opbreken.
You can get the Canon M6 for half the price, for the same resolution - I think the same sensor. And it has a dedicated hardware EV dial on the top - great for switching to flash mode.
Thanks for the info! I finally sold my M6II as I had way too many cameras. I am sad that Canon discontinued this line though. I would really want to see a retro style camera from Canon dedicated to street photographers !
Regards from Slovakia to Paris...I was there in 2002 last time with my Canon S30 compact camera...Paris is still ways in my heart. I posted short slideshow from this trip on CZcams.
Cheers from Brussels :). Nice ! Paris is a such a great city to shoot street honestly :) One of my favourites. I hope I get back there soon for another street photography session !

Yes! Thank you! That is the supreme motivation for me :) starting the day with a good pictures makes it so much better. Thanks for watching the video Florian :)
Welcome back! So, I got to know what made you giggle after taking the shot of the squatting guy with the large hat? Your slo-mo stuff would make good content by themselves, but I like the way you bookend them at the beginning and end of the video. Good stuff!
Hi Luis! Thanks 🙏! I was giggling because me and Tibo went both to get that shot. I got one shot and then went across getting one more shot, he spotted me, then got one more shot and Tibo did exactly the same thing. So the guy was extremely confused. Hard to explain but we basically went 2 times in front of him me and Tibo, alternating :) . Cheers !
