DAT SKILLSHARE FLEX! haha. Man Life in Japan seems pretty normal! Must be nice to have busy streets! :D My fav shots must be 3:43, 3:48 and 5:16. But the pigeon shot was also cool!
I swear you've had skillshare sponsors in the past 🤣 It's a bit weird, people are there, but the dynamics and emotion has changed so much, it's just not the same. And masks...
@@UlyssesAokiPhoto Haha. Yeah my mother was in japan in January and she was shocked that nobody kept any distance lol. In germany people are barely outside and it is depressing for street photography. Been doing mostly landscapes :D. By the way I might come to japan this march. But only Osaka. But not 100% sure. Don't really want to travel right now but might have to.
I love the cinematic quality in this video. Seems you've changed the style now that you've moved from the seamless paper, and I like it a lot. Also, as usual, great thoughtful video with terrific photos!
Absolutely love this video. The time and consideration put into the coverage shots and the photographs come together so go damn beautifully. Great work brother!!!
Always enjoy a great phot walk video like this. In this moment when we can't travel easily having this video feels like we are also exploring taking street photography.
500 shots is insane! Glad you’re getting back into the groove :) you should make a new vid on night time photography! That would be so cool to see your night photo’s in central Tokyo
I find that I've been in a bit of a funk, and it doesn't help to live in a small town (usually the only one on the street with a camera, so I definitely stand out). Walking around in Tokyo again would definitely bring the spark back. Your video makes me want to visit again and do nothing but shoot the streets for two weeks or so. Would definitely enjoy more videos like this from you, so hit the streets more often and be sure to share with us!
curse the alg. Loved your video man. I often find I take best photos by myself when I'm wandering my home city, but it's so fun to hang with the homies and exchange tips and tricks
yeah tbh the algorithm has hated me ever since I stopped posting "camera reviews" or impressions. which sucks because I've actually been putting more and more work into it...
Sweet vid! A couple of thoughts: I just saw your “what’s in our bag vid” and see that you truly get hangry for those specific gummy bears. Also, I have not been in Japan since 2014, so seeing your app version of the Suica (I think that was the card) was mind blowing. Lastly, a day of photographs is inspirational. Beautiful images and motivating to make a day of it. Thanks!
Honestly, it's nice to see people outside and it's great that you had a whole day to shoot! It's been freezing here in Montreal, and we've had a curfew of 8pm for most the dark winter months so it's been a rough winter. Trying to live vicariously through videos like this one! Some of the shots are nice - particularly the one at 3:50. I like how you explained your reasoning/ideas behind the pigeon shot too, it's always refreshing to see people talk ABOUT photographs and not just the way they look. I agree about shooting with other people too. It can be weird, just like shooting while listening to music tends to throw me off! But these days shooting with other people seems more and more appealing!
Dude, I really enjoyed this video. It's like part vlog, part reflection. It had a really good flow to it. And after watching this, it made me wish the pandemic was over. I really miss going to Tokyo. It's been over a year since I've been and it's killing me lol.
An honest days work. Of the lot I liked 7:11 the most. A couple notes.. Are the gummies you're talking about the "TOUGH" gummies that have the soda flavors? I just had some while shooting last week. I dunno definitely chewing on something while shooting gets my mind going. Also you like the band Phoenix too? Nice.
I remember the place at the end, with the reed and lake. There is a temple if I remember correctly, in the middle or some on the bank. There were seating places with tables and it was covered with see through plastic tent. I remember trying very hard to get anything out of it. I failed miserably :D.
You got some really nice shots here... I dream of visiting Japan one day. Top of my list. I really enjoyed this video. Also-- first time, I researched this Leica after watching. Keep going. love from Brooklyn, NY.
probably true, but also because I just showed more images from a day of shooting than usual. remember, normally I'd "post" anywhere from 0〜3 (max) or so images from a day like this
Ever thought of releasing a spotify playlist with your favorite tracks? I know you have great taste and maybe it will inspire others to shoot more too :)
That’s actually a really good idea! I don’t know why but I’ve gotten a bunch of requests and messages about music recently (which I LOVE btw you guys rock)

Fantastic video - love your slow pace and considered style, which isn't how I shoot, but something I can learn from!
Im so happy I found this channel
Wow, I would never knew Ulysses enjoyed Veil of Maya too! Nice video as always!
Nice shots. The Ueno photos are my favorite.
I love the cinematic quality in this video. Seems you've changed the style now that you've moved from the seamless paper, and I like it a lot. Also, as usual, great thoughtful video with terrific photos!
Great stuff Ulysses! Glad to see you going out there and enjoying taking photos again. Keep up the great work.
Absolutely love this video. The time and consideration put into the coverage shots and the photographs come together so go damn beautifully. Great work brother!!!
Gajan, really appreciate your complement man. I feel like this vid came out quite well (and naturally!)
Always enjoy a great phot walk video like this. In this moment when we can't travel easily having this video feels like we are also exploring taking street photography.
Love the way this video was made brother! I’m counting the days till I can visit Japan and shoot from day to night!!!!
500 shots is insane! Glad you’re getting back into the groove :) you should make a new vid on night time photography! That would be so cool to see your night photo’s in central Tokyo
Noted. 👍🦾
nice! these photos are stunning 💜
Your channel has absolutely helped me become a better photographer. I enjoy your videos so much and your work is amazing. Great work!
Man, I wish I could visit Japan again and shoot. Cheers from Hong Kong!
I always enjoy seeing your photos. I shoot B&w a lot and I love the way you compose color .keep it up

always a great vibe and great photos
Ahhh nothing like a chill Ulysses video🙂. Nice work!
You’re a godd story teller bro. I liked that video very much! Can’t wait to get back to the city... probably in May! Take care
I tried to simplify the video this time to make more of a story... so really happy you caught it Jas
the picture of the lady with the purple umbrella is super nice
kinda like that one too!

a whole vibe, thank you for this man
clean up the background? no!
more bokeh! 😂 really nice video! 4:55 looks so good.
I’m a minimalist in the making. Hopefully.
More bokeh.

Ulysess that shot at 5:28 is pure fire man, nicely done
I started listening to the yellowjackets because of this video. Also idk why but I love the shot at 6:43 lol
Actually a great idea.... 10hrs straight!
Seeing Giant "Aoki" on the building in the back at 7:30 made do a double take, lol.
Also, great music taste, as per usual.
Keep killing it!
hahaha didn't notice til this comment
I like it wow 500~600 wow I just love going out shooting around Tokyo as well. Interesting challenge 10h!
Hi, love the idea the spent time “so much time “on the city.
I also live in Tokyo , please let me join next time 😬
I wanted it to be a bit more long. Loved it!
Thanks Rangan! Next: 12 hours...? 😁
That Ueno shot! 🤌🏻 good stuff, always enjoy your videos!
Those FBT's though 👌
10 hours in 10 minutes, well done Ulysses! loved the framing of the intro to Ueno!
thanks man, 10 min!
Greetings from the UK. I particularly liked the photo at 5.14.
Right what I needed after a shitty day at work ..
😢😢👍👍
Dude, I really enjoyed this video. It's like part vlog, part reflection. It had a really good flow to it.
And after watching this, it made me wish the pandemic was over. I really miss going to Tokyo. It's been over a year since I've been and it's killing me lol.
thanks Christian! I felt quite comfortable making this vid... hoping to make a bunch like this so I can just make a vid about a day of shooting ;)
this is great man!
Man got the FBT's, out here flexing. Good video too, 10 hours is a lot, and kinda insane
Btw Ueno was the area where I lived when I was in Tokyo! Great neighborhood and video 💥
Love your vids dude.
Great video! Thank you for taking me to Tokyo when I can’t go myself 😊
An honest days work. Of the lot I liked 7:11 the most. A couple notes.. Are the gummies you're talking about the "TOUGH" gummies that have the soda flavors? I just had some while shooting last week. I dunno definitely chewing on something while shooting gets my mind going. Also you like the band Phoenix too? Nice.
no... the 男梅 !!!
leaving a comment, pleasing the algorithm..
I remember the place at the end, with the reed and lake. There is a temple if I remember correctly, in the middle or some on the bank. There were seating places with tables and it was covered with see through plastic tent. I remember trying very hard to get anything out of it. I failed miserably :D.
Yup you're 100% right. It's in Ueno! Lots of potential there with dif. types of areas
You got some really nice shots here... I dream of visiting Japan one day. Top of my list. I really enjoyed this video. Also-- first time, I researched this Leica after watching. Keep going. love from Brooklyn, NY.
I feel like in this photographs you did more experimentation than the usual 😊
probably true, but also because I just showed more images from a day of shooting than usual. remember, normally I'd "post" anywhere from 0〜3 (max) or so images from a day like this
Showing the process is awesome learning for us mortals! Such fantastic work.
One favorite photo is where there is a girl standing in front of a store
window and the mannequin is dressed like the girl. Were you using your Q?
first?
I miss to doing this again, walk alone ,take a shot , finding some interest take a shot, "click" "click" . i just can get 300 photos
Veil Of Maya 🤘
Can you do some film street photography ? ^^
Ha yes. Some street photography
9:30am, that's not early :D
コロナウイルス気をつけてください ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
知らなかったが、しかし凄い名前だね。今も東京かな？❤
5:20 Ernesto from Nekojitablog (Tengu) took the exact same frame a few days ago
For the algorithm!
Did you realize at 7:30 your last name showed up at the billboard on top of the building right behind you, or you probabaly did that on purpose
Did you get the bears though??
no. my heart still aches.
10 hours in 10 minutes
Is that 10 mins
this was 10 minutes
yup, intentional!
May I ask what is your favourite focal length?
Great question... probably 35mm :)
Ever thought of releasing a spotify playlist with your favorite tracks? I know you have great taste and maybe it will inspire others to shoot more too :)
That’s actually a really good idea! I don’t know why but I’ve gotten a bunch of requests and messages about music recently (which I LOVE btw you guys rock)
