- I went for a 60-minute photography walk into my local forest. I will show you how I walked and the exact moments that made me capture my photographs. I hope you will enjoy it.
When I don't photograph myself, I work as an editor of the FRAMES photography magazine.
I founded FRAMES in 2021 because I believe that excellent photography belongs on paper.
Have a look at FRAMES over at www.readframes....

Very relaxing, and a good reminder that the person we take photographs for, to remember the small details and to be caught in the moment for, is ourselves 👌🏽
Thank you so much for watching and for leaving your nice comment, Steve.
Thank you, Tomasz for this series - probably among the most significant photographic inspirations I've come across. Now, I MUST start exploring places right around my own home that I've simply ignored over time as they've become nearly invisible to me...and start to SEE.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Dan.
You have demystified photography. What a pleasant and simplified way of capturing beauty all around! I am inspired.
🙏🙏🙏
Firstly, thank you for NOT setting up a video camera to film yourself walking around. That is painfully overdone on TH-cam; and it seems very silly to me. I love this POV view. This has inspired me to go out and shoot nature for the very first time ever. Although I have always cherished the outdoors, I have never once shot it! I'm visiting my old hometown in the beautiful state of Pennsylvania, United States in a couple weeks. And now, all of the sudden, I'm very excited to go shoot nature while I'm there! Thank you, Tomasz! :)
Thank you so much for leaving your comment, Michael. So kind of you.
Tomasz, I loved this video. There are thousands of videos that talk about the “hows” of taking photos, but I love this one for the whys of getting out and noticing the beauty all around us. So many videos are shot in beautiful locations & for many of us photographers makes it feel like there is nothing like that around us at the time & so we must wait until we are able to go someplace “photo worthy.” Your video is such a great reminder that there is beauty all around us if we are paying attention. The format of letting us walk with you & seeing what you saw & shot is great. Thank you!
I am so happy to hear you enjoyed it 🙏🙏
Thanks for this!! I too live near a local forest and frequently make similar walks. After four years of such walks, I am still amazed at how much I see and photo that I hadn't before. It's great exercise physically, mentally, visually and photographically.
Thank you so much for watching and leaving your comment, Mark. I am happy to hear that you also enjoy similar walks.
Thanks for taking us along on that walk with you, nice narration as well.
Best,
Larry White
Thank you so much for joining me on this walk, Larry.
Walking in the woods has long been a favorite pastime, but I've been sidelined in recent years due to health, but this brought me back. Thanks for that.
🙏🙏🙏
Love the concept of a PhotoWalk! Keep them coming, as you suggested, in a variety of settings. I’ll look forward to them.
Thank you so much!
I always enjoy a walk in the woods with a camera. Excellent video, narration and images. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much, Terry.
This is a wonderful, inspiring video. The birds, the trees--I swear I could smell the pines. Seeing it through the eyes of a photographer made it extra special.
Thank you so much, Nancy. So happy hear you enjoyed it.
I love the way that this video is so personal. I go for walks almost everyday by doctor's orders. I take my camera with me on my daily walks and observe what is around me and snap at anything that interests me. By following you in your walk reminds me on how I feel during my walks. Thank you for sharing those personal moments with feelings. I don't feel too alone in my daily ventures now! Awesome video presentation of your photographic venture, love the approach.
Thank you so much, Paul🙏🙏
Beautiful video and a great inspiration. Indeed wonderful ideas.
Thank you so much, Roy.
Yes. Being in the woods with a camera. Once the first photo is taken the rest unfolds as naturally as the environment itself. A never ending source of joy and inspiration.
🙏🙏
The comment you made...the image takes you back...the stronger the feeling at the time...what a powerful feeling it is...great, great start...photography take us to the most hypnotic internal feelings we will ever have...your video took me there...thanks Tomasz.
🙏🙏🙏
Very enjoyable and it brought a peace just watching and listening. Looking forward to more.
Thank you, Michael.
A great plan,Tomasz! The forest offers something different every season, day and hour.
🙏🙏🙏
I really like this video. So peaceful. And so different from all the “noise” typically found on TH-cam. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Bill.
Congratulations on the launch of your new idea. This is terrific and it was nice to see the pics you took as you wandered. Nice reminder of what is there if we open our eyes.
Thank you so much 🙏🙏
Achieving a Zen state of mind in one's photography. Good video, thank you.
🙏🙏🙏
Interesting concept, different. I'm enjoying it. The music is peaceful and calming.
Thank you so much, Nancy.
As a woods walker myself, this brought memories of meandering and finding the magic in the mundane. I really liked the skyward silhouettes and leaf close up composition and detail. And I'm looking forward to seeing those blue shoestrings in an upcoming episode! Ha!
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for keeping it simple, both walk and message.
Thank you do much, David.
Great idea for a series Tomasz and I enjoy seeing how you connect with the environment to capture those wonderful images. As for me I find internal peace when I have my camera on a photowalk whether it be in an urban or nature setting. Creating order out of chaos gives me total satisfaction in photography.
Thank you so much for watching, Richard. I will be visiting other places on these walks as well. Every environment has its character, its beauty. I couldn’t agree more.
Just a great change to the photo world here on TH-cam. Love this!
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
I love it, well done thanks for a few moments of peace. I especially loved the birds and the sounds of your feet crunching the rocks on the path. I love your thoughtful sharing.
🙏🙏🙏
Aren’t we blessed to be photographers! Lovely video💚
Thank you so much, Kate. And yes, I absolutely think that we are 😃📷❤️
Being in the nature world is healing and I am always relaxed when being among trees. If it wasn’t for the forest and trees I wouldn’t be here today. I have lots of nature photos even though I’m not a nature photographer but I have this urge to go to the nature.
Thank you for this video and the walk.
Thank you so much for watching the walk today, Malin. And yes, you are absolutely right, the power and importance of nature is something we take for granted so often. And we shouldn’t.
Love the meditative atmosphere, the Moments to get the inspiration, the sound of the birds - it’s just like walking through a dream. Landscape photographers do this like this too - enjoyed it very much, love the concept, keep on with it!
Thank you so much 🙏🙏
An incredible walk through the forest, Tomasz. I very much enjoyed the objects and compositions you’ve photographed. Looking forward to more of your videos! Thank you.
Thank you so much, Deborah.
Thank you for such a wonderful adventure. Now I finally know what I"m going to do this afternoon ! Such an inspiration !
Thank you! I hope you are enjoying your photography as we speak! :)
I enjoy this format. Entertaining and, more importantly, instructive.
Happy to hear you enjoyed it. Thank you!
Wonderful video. Unique among photo walk videos on YT. Definitely continue. I'll "waiting for next time."
Thank you so much, Peter.
thank you for taking us on that very meditative photo walk, Tomasz. I am camera, more often with my dog. I find though that for really seeing things beyond the obvious, I need to be alone. Having my dog along is often distracting, as I have to keep an eye on him while looking for motifs. Better to go like you did, without any distractions, for a concentrated hour. I think I will try that again soon.
I definitely need to be alone to really connect with my photography.
I love this idea! I really enjoyed the forest walk, and look forward to other settings as well.
More to come!
A photo walk! So very interesting!
🙏🙏🙏
Excellent video! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for creating it!
Thank you so much, Scott.
Much enjoyed joining you for your photo walk and listening to your commentary. A rather drab day but your vision brought the photographs alive. Thank you. I shall look forward to more in the future.
Thank you so much.
A lovely, inspiring, intimate video. I enjoyed seeing the shots you chose to take. I'm looking forward to more of these.
Thank you so much, Sonja.
Very nice!! I am also lucky to live within a forest of trees, streams, lakes, and just beauty all around..North Idaho, USA...Thx for sharing!!
Thanks so much for watching!! 🙏🙏
Henry Wessel's work comes to my mind...
Well done Tomasz. A very calming and enjoyable video, thank you.
Thank you, Robert. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
An amazing experience to walk together with you in an environment that at first impression doesn’t seem to offer many photographic opportunities
Thank you, Luc. Happy to hear you enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing your journey through the woods, your feelings and thoughts really do come through strongly. Looking forward to your future outings.
Thank you so much!
It’s great to see and hear the perspectives of another photographer Tomasz.
Forests are one of my favorite places to walk (and shoot) , nature can be so calming.
🙏🙏
Nicely meditative. Enjoyed seeing your natural surroundings.
Glad you enjoyed it, Ella. Thank you.
Very zen like 😊 woodland photography this reminds me so much Scottish photographer Kim Grant 😊 she speaks the same things you mentioned in your video... finding your inner peace!!
This week i am planning to do some photos on my lunch break and also some macro photography in s city park . I like a mix of everything.... woodland, street,abstract macro, wildlife 😊 always looking towards training my photography eye, and live in the moment.
🙏🙏🙏
Brilliant! Love this content! More please!!!
Thank you so much, Tracey.
Wonderful! I actually am starting my own photo walks today! Thank you for sharing yours, it was very relaxing.
Enjoy your walks, Fredrick! Thank you so much for watching.
An excellent idea.
I find landscapes, especially woodland, very difficult to photograph. Not sure why. Maybe I just need to walk.
🙏🙏🙏
The reflective element of your experience and the idea of transfer of thought into a photograph is something I have done with realising. You thought’s clarified this for me. Great work.
🙏🙏🙏
Hello Tomasz,
I saw your youtube post and realized that this kind of photo walk is very, very similar to my walks. I also have it very easy as I only have to go through the garden gate and then in 200m I'm in the next forest. I often walk very "unintentionally" and then let myself be surprised as to whether something "speaks" to me. I'm always open to surprises with things that I've "seen a thousand times" and then suddenly appear in a special light and want to be photographed. This even works in the (admittedly very large) garden that my wife actively runs.
The only thing I decide beforehand is the type of lens. Sometimes it's 35mm, sometimes (like today) it's 50mm or even a zoom.
One idea for this kind of walk can also be to focus on a tree that appeals to you and take a kind of "portrait" of it. For me, this perhaps comes from an assignment given by a meditation teacher in a monastery: "Go outside and look for a tree. Then look at it for 30 minutes." If you limit yourself to this, you suddenly notice a lot of things that you wouldn't otherwise notice: Patterns or injuries in the bark, mosses or lichens with interesting color patterns, patterns through the branches in the crown, damage caused by storms or lightning strikes, etc....
That's a little feedback on your meditative contribution. Bernd
Thank you so much for your interesting comment, Bernd. It looks like you are really enjoying your photography / assignments / explorations.
The forest is my back yard here in rural New Brunswick. I spend as much time as I can back there. my challenge is still capturing what I see in that particular moment when the light perfectly hits a tree or branch or whatever and getting that moment on the photo. I'm not successful very often, but every once in a while... Looking forward to your next walk.
Thank you so much for leaving your comment here, Bob.
What a gift to have the forest to yourself, just you and your camera. A.beautiful and meditative video.
Thank you so much. It was in fact a blessing to be in there quiet and alone.
Glad you discovered the joy of being out in the woods even if only for an hour. Hope you'll find the time in what I suppose is a buzzy life to go out some more in the future. I have what I realise is a luxury to be able to go out nearly every day to either a forest, wood, a nature reserve. Whatever worry I have at the time it goes like snow in the sun after even a short while in nature.
Thank you so much for watching, Frank 🙏📷
I just loved that, thank you so much. It resonates with me and how I feel and yet here I am in my 80s and living in Australia, a totally different environment, but the feelings are the same
🙏🙏🙏
thank you Tomasz, great video, wonderful photos, as a mirror of the soul. It was very captivating. I like walking in the forest with my camera but sometimes I'm looking too much for the amazing beauty and not for the inner beauty of simple things that is even more amazing. Thank you for sharing this experience.
Thank you so much for watching 🙏🙏
What a wonderful start to what I hope is more to come, Tomasz!
Thanks so much 🙏
I enjoy the video portions of this film more than the still photos. The use of motion - the camera panning to bring in the landscape, the standing trees, the downed trees etc, the photographer walking along the trail or road, and so forth - is much more successful to me in making me feel part of this beautiful environment than the static photos. Fortunately, you have not panned to fast, which can destroy the mood of being in the forest. More, please.
I will now have to think about my photography even more, Wayne :)
Enjoy your adventure. You ended asking for my photo plans for the weekend: I just heard Mark Denny suggest "find the sweet spot of your lenses". What a great idea! Tomorrow I'll test each aperture stop on each lens. I think I'll learn something significant. I have been too dependent on the sensor and not done anything to determine the actual ability of the lens. Thanks for asking the question. That has changed this from...some day I should.....to now....tomorrow I will run each lens through every aperture. Thanks for the gentle push.
Nice! Enjoy it, Jim 📷✋
Very thoughtful and thought provoking video.
I live near the New Forest in Hampshire UK and spend a lot of time photographing the forest. My last trip encountered a herd of deer so I was lucky enough to get some beautiful images.
Thank you tomasz.
Thank you so much. Nice to hear you also enjoy your surroundings. And a deer, wow... so special!
Love the nice video walk, Tomasz, and your excellent presentation as well as commentary - being from Oregon USA I go out to the woods every week and take photos- many times to the same places but definitely worth the walks and get many good captures. Loved your captures and the video. Keep up the good work my friend. Thanks.
Many thanks!
I know this forest :-) Glad you went there! People usually don‘t leave the houses in this kind of weather, just dog owners. That‘s your moment. I like the meditative video, your thoughts and calm voice and the spots you placed the camera (studio and outside)
Thank you, Gaby! Not even a single dog owner on the walk I took :)
Really enjoyed your thoughtful reflections and the way you incorporated them into the video the next day. Great photos too! Your channel is off to a great start...
Thank you so much, Michael.
Thanks Tomasz a great first up video. So much you had to say mirrored my own photo journey today through sand dunes on the remote west coast of NZ
Thank you so much for commenting over here, Mark. Much appreciated.
Watching this photo walk is almost as calming as walking in the woods yourself. I live a 10 minutes walk away from the woods but do not go there often enough and the complexity of the woods confuses me. Yet I love it and feel once more inspired to take my camera for a walk there. I'm looking forward for the next photo walk.
Happy to hear that, Anne! Make sure to give it a try.
Truly enjoyed this walk and can't wait for the next. Planning to get out to the local park with my camera this week!
Thanks so much 🙏🙏
Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed taking a walk with you and hearing your thoughts. Have spent much time in parks, gardens and on trails in the magnificent Pacific Northwest, California and Southwest. Always a refuge from the intensity of urban life. Continue the habit in local parks where I am today. Have reconnected with printmaking ideas using an iPhone and working more and more on “Beyond” practices. But appreciate your viewpoint and all you offer.
Thank you so much for taking a moment to watch, Susan 🙏🙏
Recently I am looking for inspiration. The video you prepared looks invigorating. Thanks!
I'm so glad!
I love this approach to photography ... just looking for interesting lines and shapes, whatever they may be.
🙏🙏🙏
What a pleasing and calm content. I love your approach and method on how you try to catch "the" moment. It's very sublime, and different for each of us. Certainly, you made it inspiring and made me think about how important peace of mind is when being there with a camera, not only in the forest: maybe it actually will be a busy city. However, all that matters then is the inner focus, which is, at least for me, hard to get.
Thank you so much for your kind comment 🙏🙏
Really worthwhile watch thanks Tomasz.
In New Zealand we have many such places easily accessible and even though retired and a committed walker, I don't take full advantage.
Great inspiration, thanks
Thank you so much, Murray 🙏🙏
I get the impression you don't often walk in woods/forests. I can only recommend more visits. Walking in woods is my favourite place to be. Fortunately I have one close to home which I visit regularly & always with a camera. The more you visit the more you "see" & your photographs develop & become more interesting. The scenery is particularly shifting with weather & times in the day. I would recommend springtime on a bright day either early morning or late afternoon when the sun is low & the shadows & highlights are a joy! If you spot a tree you particularly like try hugging it & whispering how much you appreciate it, It's quite a comforting, calming moment.
I definitely enjoyed it very much. And yes, I should do it more often. Thank you so much for watching and leaving your kind comment.
Congratulations on your very first photography walk. I thoroughly enjoyed your comments and photography. I guess what I liked most about your content was that you do not try to convert your listeners to your way of doing photography. So many UTubers try to convince others that what they are saying is the ultimate truth and the RIGHT way to do photography. I love your delivery and presentation. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much, Bill. There is definitely no such thing as a "ultimate truth", "ultimate way" of doing anything. It's the beauty of that all. Each of us carries their own vision.
Loved the tranquility in this one. Yes, quite a different and refreshing perspective. Thank you for sharing! Would be a very busy week processing some backlog but would love to do something reflective - similar to this one…
Thank you so much. Glad to know you found some inspiration in this walk.
I started this year to go out into nature as well a lot more than in the past and I can relate to your comment about how fast time goes by. I have been in forests for 2 or 3 hours and it didn't really feel like so long.
Thanks for this calm video, it's refreshing to see something beyond the tech talk and just hear about the experience.
Magic of nature. The time kind of slows down but at the same time we don’t feel so clearly how it passes.
Great video! Even though I am pretty often in the woods, I find it very hard to frame interesting shots. You truly gave some inspiration, for which I thank you Tomasz!
Thank you so much, Joost. So happy to be able to send some inspiration your way.
I hade the same feeling
Absolutely lovely and inspiring. Looking forward to more of these, Tomasz.
Thank you so much 🙏 I am so happy to hear you found it valuable.
Look forward to follow you on this journey.
Thank you so much, Kent.
I love the way you have put this together, I see it as an informal tutorial. As an abstract/ICM photographer I don’t tend to take traditional landscape images but this has inspired me to try it.
Alexandra, I am happy to hear you enjoyed it!
One prime lens one camera makes those walks special for me.
That's the idea, Hubert. I think it makes photography so much enjoyable, so much more focused.
Enjoyed the video. It is refreshing to see how you explore and find images in a most common place such as the woods. I have taken many a walk in the woods but I seldom leave with images. I haven't been to the woods in quite awhile but you have now inspired me to explore again. I liked seeing the stills of the images you made. There is only one thing I would have appreciated, I wish you could have given your reasoning for choosing the images you shared. For me this isn't easy. I usually tell folks that I can't explain why I decide to print an image it is just something that I loved and want to share with others. Am looking forward to your next video.
Thank you, Daniel. I will definitely experiment with different approaches when it comes to these videos. I don’t want to talk too much but at the same I understand that some of you would be interested in hearing some more detailed thoughts behind my image choices.
Thank you! i forgot how much I love to do this. appreciate your thoughts as you revealed your captures.
🙏🙏🙏
Thomasz, this kind of sharing photography does not resonate with me, but reading the overall response you do for others! Please carry on and thank you for finding innovative and inspiring ways to make photographs. You are so supportive in inspiring others to make photographs, thank you for expressing so many interesting avenues to share your passion. Kindest regards.
Thank you so much for commenting here, Robert. Do you mean that you not find this kind of presentation interesting?
The presentation is fine, it is just not interesting for me to see somebody making photographs without me. In real life it would be fine, but to sit here in my lightroom and see some one else making photos and only reacting after the fact is not a creative moment for me. I do find your approach to photography good and interesting ,so please continue, it is no reflection on you.@@frameswithtomasz . Kind regards and thanks again for making these videos Thomasz.
Lovely video. As you go forward with this series, I would enjoy hearing the specifics of why you pressed the shutter: composition, lighting, texture, humor, juxtapositions, leading lines, shadows, etc. I would like to hear the connection between the photo and your eye.
Great suggestion, David. I will definitely think about it depending on how I decide to structure my videos. The first phase of this channel will definitely include experimenting with different ideas and formats.
P.S. I really enjoyed seeing what you chose to capture, very nice frames
Thank you very much!
P.P.S. as i read some comments, my view is that the video is an interesting part of this presentation, I liked seeing what the environment was that you walk through, and then right there, what you photographed in that spot and how it looks in frame, which is often quite different. That is the inspirational part. Because it shows how on a gloomy sunless day in what at first might seem a pretty uninteresting forest (compared, say, to a New Zealand jungle), you were able to frame very aesthetic pictures.
That is exactly the idea. I think it’s interesting to see how an ordinary scene might translate into a photograph.
I'm very relaxing, it's like walking in myself
🙏🙏
An interesting insight into your own photography! I can see what you see - it's nice isnt it! Mine is the beach. There is so much to 'see' :-)
Many thanks!
Liked it very much. Interesting to see the very subjective moments that triggered you pushing the shutter release. And I also appreciate very much that it was free of gear talk. Looking forward to see how that format will evolve.
Glad you enjoyed it, Georg.
I really love this Thomasz. Being in the creative flow, with camera in hand, while in nature is the most amazing way to spend your time. I have been seriously ill for a couple months and have not been able to get out and shoot. That's why I have not posted to Frames of late . Seeing this video is the next best thing.💚
Thank you so much, Sarah. I wish you a speedy recovery. Hope you will feel better very soon 📷❤️
@@frameswithtomaszthanks!
I think I will try this soon. The weekend is here.
Do it, John. Choose a random location and explore it. You will so good afterwards. Let me know how it went!
Thank you Tomasz.
I walk in a small forest every morning, with my camera and dog.
Sometimes it is the best part of the day.
I find something different to photograph every time.
I usually take one lens with me at a time..Different lens on different days....
Take care.
Nice, Brian 📷❤️ Thank you so much for watching.
A great start, the way you've put this together is excellent with video interspersed with stills and a voice over is very engaging. It is also interesting to compare the video scene with how you have processed your images. You've triggered me to go out and make images and focus. Look forward to future episodes.
Thank you so much, Dave
Enjoyed! Thank you for the forest experience: we share proximity to woodlands, as ours are not far from our back door in the Taunus hills. Forests are generous hosts, ever giving, but also rewarding ‘getting close to the ground’, especially in the mushroom season when the tree-fungi symbiosis is so evident. Personally, I’d like to see more of your stills, as they’re an insight into your photographic persona, your thoughts, your aims and interests, and give more time to study the detail that attracted YOU in the first place than any fleeting video ever could. It’s why we have coffee table albums of still images, but none of videos. Looking forward to your coming Railway Stations piece as they’re always a rich source of life and movement. Thank you for a ‘new look’ at what we love to do.
Thank you, George for all your ideas. Much appreciated 🙏🙏
Congratulations on this first video. It was a real inspiration to get out there and get into the zone with an open mind. I am trying to do something similar in the town where I live, photographing the ‘in between’ spaces
Glad to hear you enjoyed it, Simon 📷❤️
Thank you. I found this inspiring.
Thank you so much for watching this walk 🙏🙏
Great video man. Forests are always tricky for photographs I find, the white balance goes crazy! I've just started doing photo walks on my channel and landed here whilst doing some research. Glad I did, great stuff!
Best of luck with your journey and content creation!
Thank you so much, Stewart!
Reassuring to come across someone who uses a similar technique to mine. I don't like standing in a single spot behind a tripod too much. The woods is more my thing than cityscapes, although they offer great opportunities for dramatic compositions. The lighting was great for your walk, and the snow patches offered an additional dimension. I also like that you didn't meet anyone!
🙏🙏🙏
I find landscapes challenging. There are people taking amazing landscape and you have made me rethink the genre. I think it helps to do a solitary walk so you can remain focused and mindful of your aims while on your walk.
