Fellow New Yorker here ! Dude I was at B&H with a friend who just got into photography. I went to pick up a bag and you were checking out right next to me . I’ve since shown my friend your videos and he’s watched them all!! You’re rad man!
Hahaha dude! You should have said something 😄
@@FaizalWestcott I didn’t want to be like hey omg I love your videos at the checkout counter at B&H but you’re right . Would have been cool haha . Welcome to NYC ! I’m out in Staten Island. I shoot weddings but aiming to shoot street on film in the city for a personal project I’m working on . If you host an event or something I’ll look out for it and pop in or something like that . Or if you’re trying to make friends in the city we can link and shoot homie ✌🏼
Dude respect to you for holding back. Haha that’s an awesome story though!
I'm born, raised and estranged from Brooklyn! I do miss the city dearly. Please do some street photography there for me. I'll live vicariously through you.
Where do you live now ?
@@neerajnongmaithem392 I'm in central new jersey. I might as well be on another planet. 😂
I wish I could afford to live in NYC.
Man, you could straight up make a full feature-length movie now. The quality of your storytelling, how you frame everything, it's impeccable. So happy to see you only going onward and upward.
Beethoven and New York in BnW 🤌🏻❤️
What a great and inspiring video, yet again 🙏🏻
I was getting Woody Allen film vibes, too. The music and BnW are like peanut butter and jelly - just go so well together.
The last shot with the subway, in B&W, really grabbed me. Great video, as always. It’s our loss in New England.
Being from Boston, now living in the Southwest, I’m going to miss your great photos of Bean town. Best of luck to you in NYC.
Wonderful! I also live in NYC, if you ever want to take some shots in Harlem / Washington heights / upper east side - let me know
The crazy part of NYC is not only the 5 boroughs but each one looks completely different based on the time of day / night.
I’d definitely suggest going to flushing , queens in general , Astoria and the Bronx.
There is so much more than regular manhattan
Hope you’re open to meetups with aspiring artists/ photographers and see ya soon !
+1 I'd add Jackson Heights and the whole Roosevelt Ave in general. The culture, food, people from different walks of life and more. You'll see why the call Queens "the world's borough"
I've watched you over the years not realizing that I wasn't subscribed. Which I've done now. I like your work. You have great intuition and a good eye. I think you're really honing in on your own creative style. Looking forward to seeing what you do in this next chapter and how you continue to develop your craft. Keep going. Keep moving forward. Be presently aware.
Thank you, Faizal!
Congrats on the move man. Good luck! Can’t wait for the content
Congrats on the move, looking forward to your journey out here. Hope to run into you. ✌🏾
Congrats on the big move man, so excited for this next chapter for you but also for myself with the inspiration that it'll bring!
Really felt this, congrats on moving to NY! Excited to see your amazing work from there😊
dude, you so perfectly encapsulated what i am feeling at the moment.
i just moved back to Europe and getting a visa to move and work in the US is really not an easy task, i wish i were already where you’re at right now. enjoy life creating there and hopefully i’ll do the same soon enough!
Wishing you all the best in The City!
Congrats man. Looking forward to all of your next videos!
Congrats, Faizal!
Love your work so much. Congratulations on the move. Can't wait to see what you create next!
Grats on the move 👏👏
I’m so excited what you will show us in the upcoming months/years 🙌
Inspiring as always. ❤
Congrats bro. Look forward to the content.
Congrats on the move, cant wait to see your next videos.
So happy for you mate ! This video is so inspiring can’t wait to watch the next ones ✨️
I was definitely one of your subscribers who assumed you already lived there. Envious of the move but super happy for you! Look forward to seeing more New York adventures.
Beautifully done man. It was amazing hanging with you in the city over the last few weeks and witnessing you in your creative element. Looking forward to seeing where this city takes you creatively!
Also, Osmo pocket shots are ace 💯
with so many youtubers seeming to be burning out or leaving or taking a break, i hope you keep finding ways to have fun making you videos, because they are SPECIAL dude.
Welcome to the city - I lived there for 12 years or so back in the late 1980's to the late 90's. Brooklyn, Lower east side and the west side. I love going back to the east village and the lower east side - a lot of great...and not so great memories - I still find the area so photogenic especially since gentrification hasnt completely sucked the ethnicity and life out of these neighborhoods. I'm out on Long Island now but still work in the city - weekends I like to go in - Tribeca is also a great area to check out - I worked there back in the 90's as well - so much great history south of canal street if you know where to look. Enjoy!
Good luck on your new journey bro!
Perfecto!!!! Ya nos contarás cómo es tu experiencia en NYC. Buena decisión!!!! Enhorabuena por el vídeo un look exquisito!!!!
Thanks for the tour of NY - I've never been but it's definitely on my list. Great video and some really cool shots!
Fantastic 👏 Loved the jazz and New York in classic black and white. Hope you have a great time living and growing your creative work over there.
Great video! Congrats on the move 🙂
Congrats and welcome! Hope to see you around town!
that was the most artistic and clever apology I've ever seen. bravo! and congrats on the move. I've never been to NY but I'm excited to follow your journey.
Intro really resonates with me. I just moved out at 20 years old. I lived two hours away from Stockholm in a mid size city for my whole life, and two years ago I met my now girlfriend after graduation. Of course, that meant I would be in Stockholm pretty frequently but I always felt like an outsider. I couldnt explore the city all the way through and it wasn’t my home.
Fast forward to now, I still feel like an outsider. Impostor syndrome? I don’t know. But I like it here and I cant wait to take more photos here. I’ll feel like a part of the city some day, it’s only been a month so far.
Great vid Faizal, greetings from Stockholm
i really adore your style of calm. The whole vibe is so aesthetic and soothing for the soul. Keep it up bro, I will absorb all your content.
Thank you for putting some classical music in your videos, I really appreciate it, especially Beethoven sonatas !
I listen to a lot of piano works when shooting, and also jazz. I think it helps to keep the sense of grooviness and balance needed for capturing street stuff
Seen this coming lol, huge upgrade from Boston. Super fitting for you & ur eye. Congrats on a new chapter. Cheers!
Congrats on expanding your arsenal with the Osmo, Faizal! It's a great piece of kit for sure. That being said, I've always loved your studio segments because it forms a break where it's like having a chat over coffee with you. Those studio segments form a solid touchstone for the viewer and you.
The Osmo is fun and gives a "walk with Faizal" vibe and has its place., but with the motion, changing settings, and cuts, I don't see it as "instead of", but rather "another tool for the story you tell. IMHO, the studio shots have never felt stale from the viewer standpoint, and I've been watching since the early days.
Great video and share, as always! Love your ongoing work!
Wow!! Congrats on the move, dude! Really happy for you if not a little sad. It was cool to see your photography from Boston (I’d never seen street from there). New York is cool and all but it’s crawling with street photographers. Best of luck with the transition. I’m sure you’ll find your feet.
Amazing! Congrats man, hope to run into you one day!
I think if you are a photographer or have the ambitions to be one, living in NYC can be an intangible experience.... the big challenge becomes in not "following" what other people do.. finding your own niche.. seen and experiencing the city with your own touch, sensibility..
Enjoy this new chapter of your life my friend!
You are amazing! Good luck in NY
Already loving your work in NYC! So excited for more videos from the Big Apple 🍎
Congrats!!! How to make your dreams a reality….Boston will miss you!!!
I call mine Ozzy. It’s the first. Still enjoy it. Not upgrading it anytime soon. Does everything I need it to do.
stunning shots
Faizal I meet you in London last year in Soho. I am pleased to see your progress in life in general
Congrats on the move! Also in NY (queens) - hope to bump into you some day!
Welcome!!!!
Welcome to NY, Boston has lost a great creator but yeah for us!, I think you should name that DJI camera “foxy”😄. Hopefully I will run into to you one of these days. Have fun exploring
Welcome to New York, Faizal! It’s been waiting for you. 😝
Good move! The stills in this videos are moving and inspiring. I live in NJ and can’t wait to get back into the city after seeing this. Best of luck!
Faizal, your editing is amazing. Little details like the one at 8:00 is such a fun little touch that really makes watching your videos engaging
Congrats bro you hinted on it before. Looking forward to more NY work
Oh no , as a Bostonian I will sorely miss seeing Boston in your videos. Having said that I very much enjoy your videos and really love your music choices. All the best in your new home.
Welcome! Hope to run into you someday on one of my photo walks. I'm in downtown BK so I frequent areas such as Dumbo/BK heights quite a bit.
Congratulations on the move! Curious about your criteria as you searched for a location to live. It can't be an easy task to search for a place that is suitable and affordable in NYC. One of my favorite places to view is at Little Island. Love that place. I noticed you were shooting in CL mode. Do you do that regardless of the type of subject? Again, congratulations and have a great weekend!
Great video by the way!
Welcome to NY!
Welcome Faizal! I always believed you lived here already. I hope our paths cross someday! Brooklyn has many great spots to snap photos.
congrats man :) should do a photowalk with everyone here!
Welcome to New York! The greatest place for photography. Hope you're planning on offering classes sometime. I've watched your journey on your channel and it's been very inspiring,
Welcome to NYC! Congrats on the move, you're gonna love it here. Maybe I'll run into you one day.
Awesome!! If you ever do street workshops I would love to attend!
Welcome to NYS! I am a little more upstate over here near Rochester, NY but glad to have ya. Just be careful out there, there are reasons I carry and shoot both 35mm as well as 9mm. But keep your eyes open, trust your gut and you'll be fine. Enjoy the snow and keep shooting!
Ayy, congrats and welcome to the best city on earth!
Congratulations on your new move! Boston lost another creative, but NYC gained one! Looking forward to seeing your photographic street photography journey in a new location!
I love NYC, I live here and this inspired to love my city even more even with all its problems.
I hope to move to the Big Apple one day. Best of luck in your new city! 😎
That fountain shot at Lincoln Center is so good!
Welcome to the city, officially 🙏🏾
Congratulations faiz thats an awesome move cant wait for the stories and photos you create in this environment..it is one of my dreams ti go nyc ansld shoot street photography..also love the point of shooting the environmental rather than the subject driven sometimes being subject driven we muss the grand scheme of everything
Wow cool news.. looking forward to seeing more NY shots.. and the osmo talking clips were a nice addition :)
LOL to "I have been shooting way to close to my face". Wonder if the wide angle adapter for the DJI Pocket 3 will help, But OTH, the wide angle may make your forward shooting video 'too wide'? I, too, ordered a DJI Pocket 3 for the same setup but didn't like the no-hand left situation. So returnee it to B&H without opening the box.. maybe I will buy again if someone comes up with a backpack strap/chest mount solution. Congrats on the move!
Hey I was shooting the naked guitar man on time square about the same time that day! What a coincidence considering that your channel was among the few that moved me to street photography a few months ago. Good to have you here in NY!
Just in time for this sweet sweet 15 degree weather ha.
I'm never leaving this city. As a photographer and illustrator, it's just too giving of a muse. Some days every corner has something worth grabbing, and that's a lotta corners. Other days you can just float along with the sea of strangers and chill. Never gets old.
Great work... photography, filming, and music. I just love your choice music so much!
NYC gained a great photographer. Stoked for more photowalks and Hamburger Americas.
lol I loved this video (especially the close ups 😂) and congrats on moving to NYC. Also just bought the Osmo pocket 3 and I’m loving it. Hope to see you on the streets 📸
Nicely done brother 😎
Welcome yo NYC. Now that you are a resident, go deep into the other boroughs. Check out Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Bed Sty in Brooklyn. Then check out Jackson Heights, Flushing in Queens. So much to see. Have fun. Looking forward to your videos.
Congrats on the move! I’d love to go shooting with you one day.
Welcome to NY! Hope to run into you on one of my photo walks :)
Also the Pocket 3 has that adapter thing you can attach to GoPro mounts, maybe that’ll be useful for POV videos
Also just moved to NYC- been looking at your videos studying up as I foray into 35mm film w my point n shoot. If you ever host photo meetups I’ll be there!!
love your videos! Huge inspiration for me as Im starting my own journey of video making. I shoot photography and love making short form content. Im struggling a bit with finding a consistent routine. I usually start the day or work session watching your videos, as they motivate me to keep working on my own goals. Keep up the amazing work! I admire your hustle.
Awesome man, I just started shooting street, I normal shoot landscape or wildlife. I live in Wyoming, the biggest town closest to me is 60,000. KInda limiting, but I have fun and have to get creative. So lots of abstract, architecture and light play. Love your relaxed layed back attitude, I look forward to your videos. Thanks
You mean barns and cows and fields? /waves from Ohio
Beautifully executed short documentary film. So well done.
Go on the Radio City Music Hall tour. One of the most beautifu building interiors you will ever see.
Welcome…!🙏🏿 🙏🏿 🙏🏿
I also live in NYC (Brooklyn). Would love if you do some photowalks and meetups!
Welcome to New York. I hope I bump into you on the streets one of these days. I like the sense of humour with the quote. There's so many underrated places to photograph in NYC, let me give you two really good examples: 1. Broadway and Houston st. 2. 21st street and 6th avenue.
Beautiful pictures !!! greetings from Argentina
Congrats man, that's a huge move. Also, you color graded the pocket camera so well!
I’m gonna miss Boston Faizal 😥
I really wish to have a chance to come to NYC and meet you accidentally on the street. You are a true inspiration for me to do street photography. Thank you so much and have a great time in NY
fellow young creator here! worked a few years in ny and found the worst and best of it. you make the place look great - your cinematography and skill is where i hope to be someday. cheers!
fyi - to anyone reading this - i'm in my 20s and i share recipes and reflections as we navigate this thing called life. would love to see you around.
How do you make the mundane look such cinematic masterpiece incorporating the normal audio along with other audios, I’m so inspired
Just love the photos in this video. Many have that old school feel, like they were taken decades ago. B.T.W. call the DJI, Ozzie
