Join me around my home city of London as I breakdown some of my favourite areas to shoot street photography. Enjoy! Directed by Biz Thompson. Illustration by Gaida Almehaid.
This is the most refreshing photography content on CZcams. No gear focus no "five easy tricks". Just following a really good photographer doing his thing.
100% Agree AND no shouting and waving around like a crazy bird with broken wings. I Love these brittish photographers/CZcamsrs (Alan, Photographic Eye end Courtney Victoria amongst others). :D
Respect to Alan for being himself. Not even trying to be serious. Just goofing around and having a good time. Keep em coming! These videos are truly enjoyable to watch and inspiring at the same time.
Amidst a world creators who all try to mimic what everyone else is doing, this has a gritty, real, and genuinely humorous style to it that makes it its own thing! A favorite new channel! I’ll be waiting with bated breath for the next one! 😊
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how warm and fuzzy these videos make you feel? Great content delivered by an extremely knowledgeable photographer in a charming, often funny and endearing way. Keep it up.
So refreshing to see someone just having fun doing street photography on CZcams instead of being so serious all the time but still giving fantastic advice and tips, keep up the great work Alan and looking forward to seeing more from your channel and smiling along with them.
This is becoming my favourite photography youtube channel. Even though I'm going for a different style in my own photography, I really enjoy seeing someone with this level of skill do their thing.
It's about time Alan has his own CZcams channel! Really refreshing to see a true master of the craft at work, none of that sensationalist click bait rubbish. Also, the editing reminds me of mid-2000s British TV lmao
Definitely one of the most refreshing approaches to „photography” youtube in a long time. With the addition of great personality and natural humour, it just leaves me sitting in awe wanting more!
I’m so beyond happy he decided to start a CZcams channel! Entertaining, informative, and practical advice you can go out and practice right away. Thanks Alan 📸
Thank you. I love your pictures and now your channel as well. This is one of very few photographer channels that I can enjoy watching while learning tons. Thanks again.
I’ve watched you from the first video, I’m sorry I’d never heard of you before, but you’re my new favourite photographer. Your approach your humour and the way you explain your technique is so fresh. Please keep it up as you are inspiring. Top fucking draw my friend
Hey Alan, I've been following your work for a couple years now (on IG) and I'm glad that you decided to land on youtube. Really excited to see next videos!
Finally!........ I have been following you for some time and am absolutely thrilled that you now have a youtube channel!!! I absolutely love your black and white street photography and am intent on learning as much as I can from you, especially camera settings, compensation, and general tips and tricks. Good luck Alan. You are an inspiration to me!!! 📷🤩
I appreciate these videos so much! Why? They are short, on point, and I love your humorous way of presenting the technical facts and figures. How much joy watching your videos, Alan. Keep on going. Can´t wait for the next one... 🙂
Huge fan of your work, which never fails to inspire. Thanks for letting us in on some of your craft secrets. I find these videos incredibly insightful and inspiring.
I’m super glad to have discovered your channel at this period of time! I’ve been shooting street for the past couple years and have gotten somewhat okay at it. Watching how much fun you’re having on the streets kind of reminds me to not take it so seriously. So thanks for that ✌🏼
So pleased i came across this on CZcams. AMAZING pictures, I've picked up a few tips from you. When i go London doing photography, i walk between 12 to 16 miles.
Your videos are great! As a hobbyist who started out in the early 80's shooting B&W film, I find your B&W photographic art and your approach very refreshing and certainly inspiring. And, had you not started this channel, I doubt I would've known who you are, so please keep doing what you're doing!
There are so many useful tips here and being able to see things as you see them is the best way to open up our perception of life on the street. Thanks Alan !
Once more, a fun to watch and educating video! Love the content and glad there is no gear/specs overrated information. Keep it up Alan, your videos are a blast from the past but also futureproof!!!
I always suspected that one could be a serious artist and a goofball simultaneously, and now we have the visual proof. Thanks so much for doing these. Not just entertaining but they provide true insight into the process and locations. A real treat and great record for posterity.
Gotta say your videos are truly up there in terms of content and form. I love to see how you shoot your photos, why you do things and how you think. Just great, thank you
Loving these videos! I have been an admire of your work for a while now. And never would have imagined how funny you ate (but at the same time, beautifully informative!)
I love your work have been following you for along time and you are now my new favorite channel. Another great one Alan and already looking forward to the next....
I just love these Alan! I recently discovered your work and a couple of weeks later, this channel started. I had watched other CZcams videos featuring you prior. Not only are these very informative, they are also entertaining. Thank you for sharing your insights.
You are not saying something new, but your personality, your natural yourself, your refreshing face and practicality about photography, you give lots of motivation to beginner photographers, I am glad i landed on your channel accidentally. A big , warm hello to you from Berlin, Germany.
These videos are fantastic! It’s refreshing to finally find a photographer out in the field who brings this kind of wit, humor, knowledge and helpful tips. Keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are a very funny and entertaining guy, I like your videos a lot. Your photography is just amazing, so creative. Thank you for sharing what you do and how you do it. Big fan!
I think that talking about gear in context is perfectly fine and as long as the channel doesn't become just about gear you'll be grand. Thanks for doing this!
I'll be honest, when I saw the very first video (and I apologize, I've not heard your name before), I immediately thought you were annoying 😂 but within a few minutes, I found you likable and endearing. And your photography and skills. Wow. This is now my favorite CZcams channel. Keep em coming!!
I’ve been following you for years and have listened to your Covid Leica talks and your B&H lectures multiple times each. These videos are wonderful. Including the unique thinking I love you for but more room to enjoy your wonderful personality and sense of humor as well. The lectures have it but hilariously they seem to be filled with inside jokes in that no one there seems to bring a personality along. Idk, that’s the way it seems watching from home but they have me laughing out loud throughout. Anyways, bravo for this channel. I’ve been wishing it was here for ages. Lots more please!!!!
This is the most refreshing photography content on CZcams. No gear focus no "five easy tricks". Just following a really good photographer doing his thing.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
%100 agree😍
Yes it’s not about the gear at all. Its how you use it and the good frames you see.
100% Agree AND no shouting and waving around like a crazy bird with broken wings. I Love these brittish photographers/CZcamsrs (Alan, Photographic Eye end Courtney Victoria amongst others). :D
