Wow..... so many street photographers on TH-cam and none have been able to capture such compelling images like these. From composition, timing, film stocks, and use of colors, and light, Very nice work!
Excellent images, a delight for the eye and the mind, suggests the vitality and dynamism of a city where all the possible hidden passions occur at your sight especially when we see the beauty, grace and cold indifference of all those young and beautiful inaccessible women. Amazing what a camera like Leica M6 and a perfect Leica lenses with Fuji film achieves and can do with a correct technique in the hands of a sensitive and neat photographer.
Some of the ladies look quite friendly. Given the impromptu nature of street photography and the realities of gender dynamics, Hiroshi must be doing something right to get so many terrific images.
Wow!!!! I'm a digital shooter but your photos make me want to go pick up and M6 and start shooting film. Your captures are heart warming and seem like something I would see of Europe out of old James Bond films. Subscribed!
Fantastic! I follow you on Instagram but hadn't realised you did these videos. For someone whose hobby is about being observant I need to be, well, more observant 😁
The real subject of interest in this set of photos is not what’s in front of the camera, but the rendering produced by the *film inside* the camera. In a world saturated with cheap digital images, I’d readily spend time and coin to view many more sincere - - if imperfect - - exhibitions of the type posted here.
Love these shots, the Portra 400 shots really give such a warm vibe. Did you push your tri-x or HP5? Probably not necessary since it looked like bright sunny days but curious if you do push them for the larger aperture gain
Hi, just ordered loads of film from amazon Kodak Portra 400 35m 36exp Film Professional 5 Pack £55.99 Amazon. Quite expensive. Should I store the unused film in the fridge ? Ideal temp ?
Very nice. At what speed did you rate the Portra? It has punchier colours than usual. Maybe it’s the contrast from the lens or perhaps you shot at box speed? I really liked it :)
Hiroshi Tabata oh cool! I usually shoot Portra 400 at 320 and have it developed normally. Have been wanting to try it pushed one stop. When you shot it at 800 and 1600 did you also push it in development or just developed normally?
Hiroshi Tabata thanks for the information. I’ll give it a try at 640 and pushed one stop perhaps. But yeah if you control it through the scan then that sounds easy too. I’ve seen some underexposed shots in low light and think that looks very cool also, but obviously a different mood to the shots taken in good light.
These are excellent photographs. I think the act of using a camera with traditional chemical film seems to bring out the best in the art, compared with digital. It is expensive each time you open the shutter, so you really look at the scene before you do it.
It’s called ‘chimping’ with digital. You can get the perfect shot by referencing the previous shot. You will end up with 100’s of shots. With film you have to get the shot. There’s no looking at a monitor to see if it came out well. You will know after the film is developed. It’s truly a lost art. My father was an amateur photographer from film to digital. His photographs got better due to better equipment but I prefer his film stuff when he was shooting with his Leica that I have now.
I love photography, just i feel like the modern leica's are too much for the simple manual life. I understand that it's for relaxing, and are made of brass,but they are simply too expensive to be that simple for the price. odd question is this the slowed down version of modern photography? I've shot with a leica m2,and i'm usually just walking, and i'm just snapping pictures up as fast as i can, before i'm noticed and i have to pretend i'm not here and walk off like i'm going somewhere else,as i'm constantly feeling like i'm doing something wrong, and if they find out it's done. everyone says you shouldn't do this as you could get into trouble. the best photo's are either the accidents or the ones you just randomly take. sometimes i just don't like too mind my own business. it's just something to do as i walk, so i don't have to mutter. simple story is i'm am gifted concert photographer or the camera wizard as i'm told. sorry...
Some or these shots are feel truly timeless.
...and now I really need an M6.
@@streetsaheadphoto Same. They are buttery smooth.
The photos with the music makes me feel so nostalgic about the pre covid times. Great work!
Thanks!
Wow..... so many street photographers on TH-cam and none have been able to capture such compelling images like these. From composition, timing, film stocks, and use of colors, and light, Very nice work!
It’s not just the camera but what really matter is the man behind it. Great piece of work👍

Beautiful photos, love the Portra 400 and the Tri X. The soundtrack goes well, just adds to the video.
All these images remind me of Martin Parr's. Great and strangely nostalgic.
ah very kind. Thank you!
Truly the Vintage look is beautiful..
I wonder if people get to see their photos and realise how cool they look on film 😊. Great shots
Fantastic photo's
Really nice photos!
Nice! Classic film look gave the photos huge character. Great composition
This video really makes me pine for going out onto the street...like pre-Covid times.
I really enjoyed this vid. Beautiful images, next time I am on Oxford street I'm gonna think of you and try to snap some similar moments.
Superb captures, thank you so much for this video
Beautiful photos! Great film stocks too! Will need to try that Jelly film! That really suited the beach playful and relaxed environment 👍🏼
Fantastic pictures, I am the same, need to shoot more film but it is time and money. However watching this, I just need to do it. Massive Respect.
Wow, beautifully framed and timed.
Just came across your channel. Gosh these photos are absolutely beautiful!
The power of the Film¡¡¡ MORE FILM...
#keepfilmalive so many beautiful shots
Great photos.

These are incredible Hiroshi!
Always love your images. Thanks again!
Love the photos
Amazing! I love the colours vibe! 🥺 Do I have to do colour correction if I have to achieve something similar?? (colour wise)
C’est magnifique
Love these shots, the Portra 400 shots really give such a warm vibe. Did you push your tri-x or HP5? Probably not necessary since it looked like bright sunny days but curious if you do push them for the larger aperture gain
And now I need to try some Superia. It's never even crossed my mind until now.
lovly images，all of them！❤️ i aways waiting for your EP of street photographs

Loved these pics and thank you for using beautiful music. So many TH-cam channels use irritating music.
Brilliant images! Love your style!
