- The second episode of ON THE STREET WITH!
OTSW is a street photography show that features interesting Street Photographer and shows their work in a natural and unforced way by combining an interview with a real life photowalk. My goal with this series is to give a glimpse into the photographers thinking process and hopefully give useful insights that can improve your street photography.
OTSW is a photowalk, street interview, behind the scene video, documentary, travel vlog...
Or just two street photographers on a street hunt!
This episode features Tokyo based street photographer Tatsuo Suzuki( 鈴木達朗). He is the founder of the japanese collective VoidTokyo (voidtokyo.media/).
His work is featured on Lensculture, the World Street Photography Book and he recently worked together with the renowned publisher Steidl to work on his first Book.

We have a ton of people praising Joe Greer as this “legend” street photographer and then we have THIS dude. This guy deserves so much more recognition
100%
Joe is not as great as people want him to be... He's really good though
He doesn't look or act like a pretentious photographer which buys him a lot of leeway with his subjects. His shooting style looks like someone who just found a camera and is having fun haphazardly taking pictures rather than someone scrutinizing their subjects. Love his work.
Reminds me of footage of Winograd too.
people are trippin because he's not white
I agree. He is very enthusiastic.
This guy's absolute fearlessness is inspiring. The energy and passion makes for some really dynamic photos.
I wish there were more videos like this - watching masters shooting, and hearing them talk about it - big thanks to you Samuel - for recording, interviewing and making it soo pleasing to watch! - I hope to see more of these from you!
I feel the same way!! That's why I want to do these videos with other photographers. I learn so much be seeing other artist work. I hope to make many more videos like this soon!
Damn, look at him go, what a legend. Freaking love his work!
Humble flex listening to him speak 3 languages fluently. So impressed with everything in this video.
5:12 this is such a beautiful photo.
First of all, Fujifilm "brought" me here. This is my first time seeing Tetsuo's pictures and it is REALLY GOOD. I hope he's continues to shoot regardless what happened. Peace & love from a Malaysian Street Photographer.
Did nobody watch the same video as me? When he was reviewing the shots, I clearly saw loads of fantastic compositions - one after another. He took multiple pictures of each composition, with some small differences in each frame. Doesn't everyone shoot like this? Hell, even commercial photographers shoot like this. I'd go so far as to say that commercial photogs are more spray and pray than any other kind. They just take a lot longer to create the composition. They'll take 200 shots of the same composition and have 12 compositions in a day; yet I doubt many of you would be ripping on them.
I hadn't seen Tatsuo's work until now, and I'm thoroughly impressed with it. From his eye and artistic vision to his body of work and his interaction with people/life.
Samuel, I'm really glad you took the time to make this video. You're an excellent storyteller and this was an absolute joy to watch.
You brought up some good points! I can understand that from the outside his method looks aggressive and invasive. But he knows what he wants and his images reflect that. And the way he interact with people is very polite and respectful. But his art comes first. I don't blame him. Thank you for your comment and sharing your thoughts!
commercial photographers will tend to take a lot of shots of what looks like the same picture, but they are doing it as they make small tweaks to the model and lighting because in commercial photography you're getting paid to create a PERFECT image by the client- its not so much 'spray and pray'. I'll take dozens of images of a person's headshot that to them look the same, but in each image there are small tweaks leading to the perfect shot
@@SamuelStreetlife ON THE STREET WITH videos are an absolute joy to watch. Please, please, please make more.
I can see why he moves so quickly all the time after doing this to people. If he hung around he probably would get punched. He said he took about 2000 pictures in one day. That's 2000 interactions he's had where he's managed to 'p*** off an awful lot of people. But hey, each to his own. I got the impression from Samuel he didn't really like this method but i might be mistaken.
I think it's a large assumption to think that every picture taken if someone without consent will make them angry. Even if it were a majority that would have a strong negative reaction, it would probably be a narrow one.
He's using the "asian sightseeing tourist" stereotype deliberately as a disguise, what a genius xD
not a disguise, he is comfortable in that skin.
@@johnta17 but he is not an "asian sightseeing tourist"!
He is a streetphotographer. One of the two can get away with shots, as intimate and impolite as these in Germany and he takes full advantage of it. Hes brilliant. A true master of his craft.
@@desotaku5202 if there was a ven diagram it would be one circle. One encapsulates the other. I'm not saying this to denigrate his technique. I'm saying that is the role he takes as a street photographer. You cannot distinquish the two from each other. He is playing into people's confirmation bias about him and is eliciting an emotion out of them. This much he admits to. Did you listen carefully to his interview?
@@johnta17 i get that, but it is more helpful after the fact, instead of as a perception in the act. because no one will ask a tourist to delete pictures, but people will ask a professional to delete them, because they make profit instead of only memories.
And what he said about the police letting him go works in Japan, but in Germany, he would be in the wrong. Its way more strict here what you can shoot and how.
He’s acting like a stumbling fool but he knows what he’s doing. Genius is right. His work is amazing!
Can’t put my finger on it, but watching these video’s make me very happy. Loved the sound of the rain while the photos with rain and snow were displayed.
Thank you. Again.
Appreciate the feedback! I had a good feeling about the edit of this video.
@@SamuelStreetlife Great material!! I wonder what focal length he photographes with?
@@dasIDS 35 equivalent. He shoots with the Fuji x100 usually.
His style of photography is rude and garish... HOWEVER... the images are so sincere and candid in a way that no other manner of method could produce in such volume. And I absolutely love them.
Real David Art *slightly rude... or if at all
not like Bruce Gilden haha
I love his works and he is brave and happy.
Is it so? I see in most of his pictures reactions to his rudness so its not really candid. Neverthless I like the shots but's it's not really street live.
so the ends justify the means then...
Greg Stevenson what did you think of the images?
Having tried to take streetphotos and being confronted by people, I could say he has some massive balls. As for his style, I think the invasive method is actually calculated, resulting in photos with emotions or, rather, reactions...
I think he has an advantage in that, when shooting in Japan, he knows most people there don't like to make a scene so he is not likely to be accosted. When shooting abroad, he can play the "dumb tourist," such as at 7:45 when he does the hand waving gesture accompanied by a strained "no, no, no".
I did Street Photography in Tokyo for years back in the 1990's and was only accosted once . . . by an American. He wanted to fight me but was running a T-Shirt stand so all I had to do was walk away and he couldn't follow me.
@@BooLee01 of course this wouldnt work in a Detroit suburb...he is basically creating the shots by being rude and careless.
@@wyatthunter987this is why nobody does any work in detroit. People do this all the time in big American cities. New York, Chicago, LA, SF. And so on. Detroit and it’s people aren’t that interesting
Yet again a brilliant video. Learned so much from Tatsuo Suzuki and yourself. I always find street difficult even though I absolutely love it. His style of placing himself on the street, weaving in and out of the stream on the pavement it so fluid and effective. He seems to find the decisive moment effortlessly. Keep them coming, Sammy! Learning loads and keeping me inspired to keep trying.
I'm glad you got some value out of this video! I also learned alot or at least got very inspired after shooting with him. Happy shooting!
Dude, you are a great storyteller and a fantastic interviewer!
Always fun to watch and exciting approach to street photography in overall, and what a character Tatsuo is hahaha, I thought he was acting a little bit like as a prick at the beginning of the walk, but after he explained what he's trying to obtain (emotional tension) from the subjects and for the viewers to see, everything made sense. Now I'm a fan of Mr. Suzuki :D
Thanks again for sharing your passion and pls keep it going.
Happy to hear that it came off like I wanted it to. At first he might look like a rude person but he is actually very polite and humble. I can feel that when I look at his work.
oh man, this OTSW series is gold!
I love watching him photograph and work the street. An amazing artist.
oh man, i could watch a couple hours of this
Hehe. :)
I'm totally blown away by his photography. The way he catches the light of the textures in his background remind me of Kikuji Kawada, one of my favourites! Greetings from a fellow Hamburger.
This is definitely a level above some of even the very best of the photography pieces on TH-cam (or maybe anywhere else also). You should submit this to some of the film festivals in the short film category -- it is that good. Subscribed.
hands down Has to be one of the most candid interviews I've ever seen
I have nothing but full respect and admiration for Mr Tatsuo, this was brilliant,
thought provoking, and most of all inspiring, thanks for sharing this wonderful work.
My pleasure Clive!
This series is so goddamn good. Thank you for making and sharing the view of this great artists.
Just like many others, I had to checkout this video again after hearing so much about the Fuji film situation with Tatsuo. I still remain a huge fan of his work and the images shown in this video are amazing. This was a great interview and I think it would be equally amazing to have Tatsuo share his feelings about what happened in a follow up to this.
What situation?🤯
@@panhradu 🤣 you’re asking about something that happened two years ago. Besides a pandemic, it’s been a million and one things that have happened since then. I don’t even remember the “situation” nor does it matter at this point 🤣
@@panhradu he lost his fuji film partnership because of his aggressive style
He's really good. I'm in awe of the artistic quality of the photographs he took in Japan.
Fantastic work. Keep making amazing art, I love to see the process and dedication to this craft. Very inspiring.
This is so cool, love those vids man, keep up the great work
Such a great video! It takes a very brave individual to shoot the way he does. But he was able to capture raw emotion, which translates to quality photographs.
Super good guest Tatsuo Suzuki and really like the BW stories!
I think it's a shame that fujifilm removed Tatsu Suzuki as an ambassador. He's a very talented photographer.
Poke Brother Now the V.
Why did they remove him?
@@CrowClouds they saw how he takes his pictures and the way he does it is that he really gets close a bit like Bruce gilden. Fuji doesnt want to be associated with that phototherapy technique...
@@pokebrother2330 Yeah. I get it. Street photography is inherently weird. No matter what you do, you're going to end up exposing peoples insecurities, and you may have to like, run or protect yourself. Lmao. I bought a 55-200mm telephoto to help me avoid being noticed !!
@@CrowClouds well I don't know if that's a solution ( personally I like 35 ,28 and 50mm). The problem is that it is not " normal " that a stranger takes your photo , it's like he is a pervert or something or they are scared... I got banned from a shopping mall ( here in germany) for 3 months because I took like 3 or 4 photos of people in front of the mall. I was pretty aggressive when the security approached me because I always get the feeling that people try to stop your growth as an "artist". But yeah ... since it's obligatory to wear masks I walked by them and went shopping there a few days ago ;)....
This video is fantastic. I can learn so much from watching Tatsuo take pictures. Thank you for creating this :)
INCROYABLE, j'ai adoré du début à la fin
I like this atmosphere of a photographer, who does not take themselves seriously and yet everyone has their own talent, street photography remains the best because it is not fixed, very natural and the Japanese love the photo for a long time they also like the silver photo a people artists
Every night before sleep. I watch sams videos. I just enjoy them so so much 🥺
great content, Samuel! keep it coming. cant imagine the time he put in going through thousands of photo after a shoot.
The end (Products) = Amazing
Yes but how many have the balls to shoot like that ?
waiting for the next ON THE STREET WITH episode, congrats man, i love this videos :)... lots of inspiration and learning on your channel
Thank you! I hope to finish the next episode soon...
Let’s have more of this videos again. Also your starting sound track for the series is a banger. Great job Samuel.
Tatsuo seems rad! His style, the way he works, hiis mentatlity- That's what street photography is all about. Great video man I'll be watching more.
Love the sound of rain on the umbrella 👍
Great content, amazing photographer with the results that pay from a in ya face style. I learnt a lot from this video - keep producing content! Thankyou :D
This guy is that guy. I think he's one of the best because he isn't afraid to get people out of their daily funk / routine, and while some people wouldn't appreciate that at first, they might think back and say "that wasn't so bad after all. Kinda glad that happened". This guys passion for photography is apparent, and his willingness to put his shame and safety on the line tells you just how passionate he is. He became a lot more popular after fujifilm dropped him. That's for sure! I really do like and appreciate his art. I think he may have inspired me to purchase the X100v (if that's what he's using).
GREAT VIDEO!!! Thanks for sharing us a little bit of Tatsuo vision and work in Germany.
You're welcome :) Happy to hear that.
This dude has HUGE balls. None the less, his street photos are super powerful. Excellent video!
Thanks Christopher!
There are so many street photographers, and tbh I am not a huge fan of most of them, but Suzuki's work is awesome and beautiful. I have a much better appreciation for the stress he goes through to get these images.
Definitely happy to see him more in your adventures
This was fantastic! Thank you for introducing me to his work! Love your channel and it gets me fired up for street photography every time! I’ll be prancing around the snowy streets here in Sapporo camera in hand
Awesome!! Wish you a good street hunt in sapporo! :)
Ahhhh, burst mode! I see what's going on here. I really appreciate slowing down, minding your composition, and really nailing a shot within the first couple of frames, but this makes me reconsider taking that approach all of the time. Really neat work, guys!
Great photos, black & white made them even more on edge 🏴📷👍
Love this series. Tatsuo Suzuki is amazing. Thanks Samuel.
Happy you liked it!
I love everything about this. Wonderful style wonderful candid talks. It is sheer fun.
Thanks!!
Just discovered your channel and loving it. It’s great to see how other photographers work. Tatsuo results speak for themselves but the obvious joy he gets from the process of making images is truly a joy to watch.
Happy to hear that. I want to do more videos like that. Working on it right now :)
Samuel L. Streetlife that’s great as I think the format is different other street vlogs I have seen before.
He has amazing strategy... Seems wild and out of control... All I see is focus and a system at work. 👏👏👏🍻 Was about to brush this video off... Now I love this guy.
Wonderful video, I've been following Mr Suzuki on instagram for a while now. I love his photography. It was a fascinating look into his approach, thoughts and personality. Thank you.
I'm glad I could provide some value with this video! I am too a fan of his work.
I enjoyed this video very much! Even though I am not a fan of Tatsuo Suzuki's work, I loved the video. Keep it up Samuel!
Wow. This was a great video. Fantastic! Might be my favorite on TH-cam and trust me I’ve seen thousands.
Wow, I feel honored! Happy to hear you enjoyed it so much :)
YES Samuel !! I enjoy these two episodes so much !! So interesting to see photographers shooting on the street and having a conversation like that ! Congrats
Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you are enjoying the episodes so far :)
This was really great to watch! I’m from Berlin and I do the same « tourist » style when I travel to Asia, funny to see his perspective of Germany. It’s much easier to shoot when not in your own country, the tourist card is great for confidence.
I totally agree! I am now in tokyo and I feel like I'm superman haha. In germany I am much more carefull or hold myself back.
Samuel this video and series is extraordinary. So natural and candid. B&W is your cup of tea.
I don't understand what all the fuss is about - very good photos and great movie! Fuji should have defended him and kept the movie.
@11:55 that would make a beautiful stop motion scene/film. I also guess that's why he uses 64gb cards, really cool to see such a consistant workflow put in one go.
This guy is great, you gotta do what you gotta do I suppose to get the shots.. and he proves it with the quality of his street snaps! I couldn’t get away with it, and for sure I’ve not got the balls! 😁 great Vlog 🙏
Cool to see you guys having so much fun!
I SO LOVE THIS VIDEOS, I GET TO LEARN SO MUCH!!
Awesome! :)
I love it. IT is a Style. No discussion. You can love it or you can hate it, but is a Style. Go Tatsuo
I love Tatsuo style ... swimming the streets like a fish , smooth and agile , and the pics .... spontaneous.
Great video Samuel!
Thank you! :)
Regardless of what people think of his method, he doesn't deserve what Fuji did to him and the hate he's getting online. Seems like a genuinely nice dude. I love his photos.
I am not clear why you don’t have over a million subscribers… you have the best, most interesting channel for street photography… period.
Such an excellent video. Well worth it.
i love this guys energy
Great stuff! Loving this series!
One of the great modern photographers of the street, great video of how he works, thank you very much.
Thank you for watching!
I love this video so much.
This film has given me a lot of inspiration for mine streetphotography! Sometimes I go on the street to make photo’s really close to people. Not easy but worth to try...
Happy to hear that! It's always worth to try stuff out
Also Samuel thank you for creating this amazing content, it has been inspiring me and constantly teaching me things while also giving me ideas of things I should try when taking photos! Is there a a good way to connect with you and other photographers from hamburg?
love love this
Great video and great photographer! I love his style!
Great idea doing an interview whilst out on a photo walk. Makes it more interesting.
Love his shooting style. He gets an emotional reactions most of the time. This is really my kind of shooting. Thanks, Sam,!
There are little moments of joy in current life. For me, one of them, it's when I receive a notification telling me "Samuel L. Streetlife" just added a new video... It's always a pleasure to watch, every time I smile and then I want to catch my camera and to do new pics. The content is always interesting certainly also because you are a great interviewer ! Thank you for sharing !!! And please go on, your work is great ! By the way, I had the chance to visit Hamburg last year...und Ich mag deine Statd so viel !!!
What a lovely comment! Appreciate it!! Also happy to hear you loved hamburg :) It's a special city.
Loving this episode!! Besides this, would really hope to see an episode on how to judge or understand a photograph or studying a photographer's work in depth.
Great idea. I will think about more thoughtful videos discussing photographs and styles in more detail. I'm just not so good at articulating myself in english. But I will work on it!
Wow! I couldn't do that, but those images are amazing! love the video too.
Great episode Samuel! Tatsuo is in the big leagues for street, that's for sure. It's humbling for many of us ... but instructive too.
He is a hard worker so he deserves it! I always feel motivated seeing people like him.
I love these type of videos 🤘🏽
Friction/Tokyo Street my second favorite photography books, The Americans is my favorite. Great insight into his method. Thanks for a great video.
I laughed a lot. With you both of course. Thanks for the video!
:)
Hey just found your channel! Street photographer from the Philippines. Just started 5 years ago and still learning. Your videos are awesome! keep on doing it! It inspires me to shoot more.
Awesome! Happy shooting in the philippines! :)
Best episode ever
Suzuki-San is so inspiring. I love this guy!
Rad vid Samuel. I'd love if you could get the featured photographers to talk about how they set up their cameras - zone focus, manual settings etc. for standard shots and with changing conditions. That way not only is it fun to watch, it's informative for those of us getting into this great hobby! Keep up the excellent work
Good idea! I should incorporate this in every episode. I easily get excited by just seeing other streetshooters work :) But I will think of more questions or things to ask for the next time. Thanks for the feedback!!
Let’s start with, what camera and setting does he have in this kind of shooting? Great job and well done 👍
@@albingatdula8163 fujix100f I think
Wow! This is fantastic! Thank you.
Thanks Samuel! Fun way to know more abt photography in life
Very appreciated pat!
Fun to watch him work. An unusual approach (Gilden-esque) but it works for him and is harmless in the end. A moment of slight intrusion for some real expression, yes forced by the awkward gait and proximity, but his genuine smile and continuous movement seems to work. And I dig the pics...been following him on Instagram but new tho this channel so was stoked to see the session.
Dude, you're just knocking out the park with these. Great video. Really capturing the shooting style of the featured photographer and letting them expand on their answers. Again, really enjoying these videos.
Thanks man! Appreciate the feedback :)
@@SamuelStreetlife Of course! Easily one of the best photography channels on TH-cam. Thanks for creating.
Omg so glad I found this !
Tatsuo is just amazing. The way he takes the shots 🤣👍🏼
Man this project ur doing is insane.... U deserve huge credit for this. Thank u for ur amazing video!🙏🙏
Thank you!! It's my passion project. Slowly but surely I will do more in the future.
Another great video. I like Tatsuo's work, I agree he seemed to be shooting everything but in fairness to him, he was in a strange city and not sure what would be round the corner, so tried to maximise opportunities where he could.
He must also felt a little pressure because I was following him with a big cinema camera.
Impressive photos what a great street photographer 👏🏻👏🏻
Great video! Love the photos and mood created. Really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it Groe :)
