- Geometry plays an important role in a lot of my photographs. In this episode we headed out on the streets of Berlin to hunt down some geometric imagery. Guest featuring Agostino Perrone and Sara Lily Perez.

"The only problem is, the people in Germany hate being photographed." As a German it is very nice to hear this from an international photographer that has shot in many different places.
Because every time I see one of these street photography videos from all the guys in New York I'm like "Do that in Germany and you'll get into an argument every 5 minutes."
Why do you suppose this is?
@@Anon54387 Well, I could write long paragraphs about what I suppose the reason for this is.
Long story short is that people in Germany are very protective of their own personal rights/their right to their own image and they tend to always impute bad intentions.
They immediately assume that you're gonna use the image to do something bad.
Also in Germany people have the legal right to prohibit you from using images of them if they are the obvious main focus of the image.
i got beaten up last year because of this.
Those Germans sound a bit paranoid.
Was photographing cheeses at a farmer's market in Hamburg when the salesman bounced in to complain about me taking a picture.
I think the complaint was that he was in it though he only appeared because he'd leaned in.
"One can't take pictures without asking permission" was the general message, "and this applies the world over".
Germany has been a fun place to visit and meeting some super people.🇳🇿
I think I may have finally found a CZcams photography channel where the photographer can actually take photos.
Excellent stuff!
daniel milnor is good as well
that's because he is photographe first and CZcamsr second; contrary to most
Sincerely a most excellent balance of education and comedy - count that as a subscription!
It’s hard to find a new YT channel these days that really offers something special. Yours do, so please keep sharing them
My god. Finally a real photographic artist on CZcams. This channel is a godsend for photographers. Please don’t stop. I’m so tired of all the gear heads that pretend to be photographers. Great work!
It’s very obvious you’re a photographer who became a CZcamsr, unlike most channels that star CZcamsrs who like photography. Your images and advice are both excellent.
Photographs aside, it’s your humor that separates you from the rest of CZcams photography genre lol
I'd even say not to put any of his photographs aside 👌
@@MrPinkfloydiannor his guitar playing. Did you see his other recent vid?
@@thomastuorto9929I did! Totally agree with you 👌 Great stuff... and there's an album coming soon 🤯
Amen
Yes! I’ve known the photographer’s talent for a long time. Now I’m very happy to discover the photographer behind the photography 👍
I haven't learned a single thing from Alans videos, yet this is already my favorite photography channel of all time.
Learning is by far over rated when it comes to photography ...
Learning doesn't have to be traditional academic. Osmosis counts too... ;-)
The production quality of these with your personality and really great images is so fun to watch. This is just an outstanding channel. You all are doing great work.
Thank you for your videos Alan a real breath of fresh air. I really miss my fav CZcamsr and Photographer David Thorpe, but you add back some of that wonderful sense of humour into the photography world that he had. You are both a joy to watch. Rich
I love that you’re so talented, you can teach in a way that’s accessible, and you don’t take anything too seriously.
Herr Schaller, thank you once again for a fabulous video. This one resonates particularly well with me since a) I am German, b) spent 12 years in Berlin in my past life and c) was lucky to shoot many of the places you visited last year. Winters in Berlin are truly grim but you make them feel light and bearable. More such videos, please.
I was stationed in Germany back in the late 80s with the USAF and really loved it.. Visited Berlin when it was East & West and knocked a chunk out of the wall when it was coming down... I look forward to your video's, Thanks again
Hi Alan I'm Tom from Denmark, and just found your channel here on CZcams, and I enjoy your videos... and admire your B&W photos very much. I used to be a professional photographer years ago, and used Hasselblad and Sinar cameras. Never had had a Leica, before now... I just bought the Leica Q3 and I'm so exited to begin making some street photography, and your videos really helps a lot...thanks. In one of your upcoming videos, I would love to see something about "texture" in black and white photography ...someting you have not talked so much about in your series. Thanks agin for your inspiring person and content. Best regards. Tom
"Here, I'm gonna try this shot quickly.....SHIT!" Alan, you summed up an entire day of my shooting in one sentence. Brilliant!
haha I instantly related to that too..guess we all have them days 😂
@@ianhallett6174 Still one more , , ,myself
Cheers to CZcams algorithm for popping Alan up on my feed... Right up my street humour and photon wise, keep them coming chap and very entertaining as well as educational 👍
Very nice Alan! There are so many photography videos on CZcams these days with nothing to say that I have almost given up on watching them. Almost passed yours by but, for some reason, decided to give it a try. Glad I did because you actually have something to say about you particular style of photography and I actually learned something - good! Where photography is going these days is away from art and into technology. I'm not against technology if it provides a better tool but you just can't let it be a substitute for your own aesthetic. There is no substitute for the power and imagination of the human mind. Thanks!
another excellent example of combining entertainment with learning, please keep it up ... one of the few talented photographers confident enough to not take himself to seriously
Well done Herr Schaller 🙏🏻 clap 👏🏻 clap !
Greetings from Australia...mate. These videos are just bloody fantastic.
Looking forward for your next Video. They are a pleasure to watch!
I've been following your work for years but only today discovered how funny you are. Instant sub. Thank you for making these videos!
This video is amazing. It is so beautiful, bye far this particular video is like a piece of art of its own.
Amazing work Alan! simply great to see you do what you want on each video and city you visit. Great variety of content!
Alan does a wonderfully awesome job at teaching how to build a photo
Alan, You never fail to inform and inspire.
These videos are SO great. Always informative, inspirational, and entertaining. Danke!
you are quite simply one of the most gifted photographers alive today
Thank you for the videos, Allan & Co. I really enjoy the photography and the video aspect. I'm excited for the future.
Alan, I love your videos and don't only share a passion for street photography. My family story mirrors yours. Very poignant moment and thank you for covering this in your video too. ❤
Great humour. Much more fun to watch than 100% of other channels.
best thing u did was creating this YT channel, thank you Alan and especially for the sarcasm xD
I always look forward to your videos, Alan. You inject your humour into them, even when visiting a country that caused your ancestors so much pain. It isn't easy to blend the piece filmed at the Holocaust Memorial with your quirky approach, but you managed to pull it off. Nice work!
Another excellent video. Thanks for sharing, Alan !
Schaller, thank you once again for a fabulous video.
Great fun. Great photography.
Love you're blending of photo talk and comedy. Keep it up Alan.. You rock
Just great !
Alan: I can’t believe you only have 39k followers. You should have a million. Everyone of your photos on your Instagram are phenomenal. Thank you for sharing your artistic work. Bill Ford, USA, Oregon.
Another great vid. Love your energy. Looking forward to the next one.
Love This One,,,,,,
Great video as always! Learned a thing or two 😊.
Germans demonstrating these days against racism and fascism. Hope all people of Europe learn from our past. All the best

Thank you, Alan! Another wonderfully entertaining and informative video. You manage to accomplish something that is not easy, you make learning fun! I can't wait to get out there and apply some of these techniques in the field. (Sans the freezing temperatures).Cheers!
Loved all the electro bangers throughout the video 😊
This is the only youtube channel i’d subscribe twice if that could be possible. Brilliant!
Thanks for the masterclass Alan 👏👏😎📸
these videos are refreshing to most of what’s on CZcams
Educational and entertaining! Thanks.

Another great video with some top tips. Thanks for getting cold for us!
great to see your ideas in my city Alan 😊
Great vid as usually and appreciate the minimal techno 😎
I just found your channel.
As someone else mentioned your humor caught my interest in your work.
Subscribed 👍🏼
Really enjoying your vids - getting better with each one. Great sense of humour and good choice of guests.
Also inspired me to do more B&W photography - had a great session yesterday inside an Essex Forest - on a overcast day looking at the structure of trees - B&W just right for that job.
Everytime a pleasure ❤
Best motivation for getting out in freezing temperatures I've ever seen.
Everything is better with humor. Subbed!
Awesome photography but also enjoying the production of the videos more and more with each upload. Picked up a Q2 monochrom back in October and your videos have been inspiring me. Have a copy of metropolis on the way to me this week which I’m really excited about!
Really enjoy your videos.
Great content and learning, thank you.
Great stuff. Full stop.
Really love your channel :-) so much wonderful input and I as well love to travel to Berlin for exploring the city. Actually great to see those places here.
Walker! 🙂 Fascinating observational clues in this video along with a very personal insight, thank you.
great video, love it

Love your vids! thx for teaching us in a lovelyfunny way 👏👏
I've been following your work for a long time, Alan. I'm so happy you've started a channel. You're fuckin hilarious and I love your energy. Please don't stop. EVER. 😘
So glad to have found this channel. Memorial photo at 7:06...wow 👏
Well-done! Thanks!
Nice one!
So many beautiful shapes
You are a master in hitting the nail right on the head without getting lost in "artistic gibberish and smart babbling"
As you say - geometry and light is what photography is all about. And the occasional "shit" oh yes that happens too.
Superb video! AS always. And I keep laughing too because I love British humor.
Love it
More! More! More!
Thanks for sharing the history of your Family
Love the videos mate
Thanks Alan your tips are really appreciated :)
Just picked up METROPOLIS this past weekend. EPIC!
You sir, are hilarious. I’m so glad I subbed.
bravo.... excellent eye
