Here you go, street photography straight out of the camera, no editing at all : no exposure adjustment whatsoever, no cropping, no shadows boost, no blacks boost, no contrast... just white borders around the shots. Let me know what you think :)
Thank you Antoine for the wonderful portrait, really appreciate it ! :)

Thank you for being here, appreciate your support ! Don't forget to like this video and subscribe if you are enjoying the content. Thanks !
The shots are flawless. There is no need for editing. You are a master of your craft. Favorite shot is 34. Light was indeed gorgeous. And speaking of gorgeous...the intro.. 🔥👏👏👏
Thank you Alexandru ! Appreciate your thoughts. I prepared a slightly longer intro for my next video and I hope you will enjoy it as much as this one :)
@@OctavianCarare I'm sure I will
Merci Octavian! Superbes photos et très belle intro! 👏👏👏
Merci a toi ! Vraiment top ta vidéo, je suis reconnaissant 🤩😍
Congratulations on the beautiful images! Hugs from Brazil
Obrigado Elias! Thank you for watching the video :)
Your videos and your shots are not only inspiring, but also strangely comforting. The way you use light and architecture, the candid shots, it’s all a very nice place to be. Thank you for continuing to bring us along :)
Thank you for watching Michael and I am glad you enjoyed it :) there is a new video coming soon, this time from my home country. Hope you will like that one as well :)
Looking forward to it :)
Haha, I heard my voice in there :-) Thanks for the walk, it was an honor! Love your pre-vid slow motions, they’re like living street pics (but I think I told you that ;-) And on picture 29 you nailed it!
Hello Gueric! It was meeting you :) thanks a lot :) and talking about film photography there is a new M6 out heheh
Hey Octavian! Another fruitful photo walk.. I think you just nailed that more simplistic approach to street photography. No cropping, too is an extra challenge and you did a fantastic job with those restraints. I really like the rendering of most these images! Also, surprised by how sharp the old 18 looks... Keep up the good work! :) 👌🏼
Thank you Robin ! appreciate it ! :) The 18 it is okish but you have to take in consideration that I shot at f8, f 11, and f 16. I guess wide open at f2 it's less sharp. But nevertheless a great lens for street photography :) . Merci !
Intro was fire brother🔥 The fade to camera flip, love it. Well done!
Glad you liked it!! Thanks a lot !
Great work Octavian, you’ve demonstrated that you do not need to spend (waste‽!) time editing, just a good eye, as you nailed the shots. Lovely colours and tones from your cam/lens combo. 🙌
Thank you very much Paul ! Appreciate it ! :)
Another wonderful episode. Thank you 📷👏📷👏📷
Thank you for watching Steve :)
Thank you soo much for another video, been waiting from soo long!
Thank you for watching mate :)
Hey there….I put a message on one of your videos awhile back. I’m taking a tour of the Balkans in the fall including Romania. Can’t wait, super excited. Looking forward to some great photo opps
Hi mate ! That's great news :) Where are you going to in Romania ? Bucharest? Enjoy it ! You will have lots of opportunities for cool photos.
Doing 4 countries roundtrip Budapest. Stopping in Bucharest, Brasov, sighisoara, cluj napoca, siniaia
@@sunnyta619 Great choice ! If you have time go to Sibiu as well, it's a lovely city :)
More great work Octavian, #34 🙌🔥
Thank you Erich ! :)
I love picture 34 of the man wearing the hat from the back. Many thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for watching :)
Waow reog ponorogo in the first time video. 🔥🔥🔥👍🙏
Yeah! That was amazing 🤩
Merci pour ces belles photos 👍👍👍
Merci pour avoir regardé la vidéo!
Sempre belle le tue foto 👍👋👋.
Grazie Luciano !
Quality post, Octavian. You seemed more confident with the early high-contrast images than in the crowded “touristy” segments. Favs include 26 for simplicity and bit of color, 31 for candor, and 19 shadow play. What were you trying for with the “fail” smoker? 14 and 22, layering of t-shirt images almost work, IMO. For high-contrast silhouettes do you use exposure compensation?
Shy of in-computer editing, you might try bringing a few of your RAW files into your basic smartphone photo viewer (Photos in iOS/Gallery in Android) for quick global edits. For a long time I thought RAW files would not display or be recognized, let alone edited, but they are, now. Edited copies should be saved as JPGs, of course. (Might make for a unique YT post.)
Clever train to bring you food. (Hope you are off your diet by now😊.) Cheers!
Thank you Paul :) The first picture with the fail smoker the framing was terrible :). I do use exposure compensation yes, I under expose the shots yes. I will give it a thought regarding the process of editing :). Well, after my trip back home in Romania I need to get back on the diet. It's a must :). Thank you for watching ! Hope you will like the next video from my hometown :)
#24 ~the one with the dog was great
Thanks ! :) Debi
Hats are always good.
Fully agree
Would be cool to see a side by side of SOOC vs how you would edit it. like #1 & #1.5 :P
Sure ! Planning to do that at a certain point :)
Love the SOOC ❤️ Fuji rules!! Fancy sharing your recipes? 😊 See you bientôt 😅
Indeed :) haha I have no recipe, j ai utilisé une simulation, classic negativ 😎
Hi Octavian. When you shoot with the XE4, and get close to people with the 18mm lens, do you use the normal shutter or switch to the electronic shutter? Love your high contrast images by the way. There is a Alex Webb vibe to them.
Hi Luis ! Thanks for the kind words. I use both mechanical and electronic shutter. There is a setting in the menu that you can turn on. If you have moving subjects or if you move your camera when shooting try not using the electronic shutter :). Cheers !
Y'en a des super cool quand meme pour zéro retouches!
Un grand merci 🙏
Fantastic video and great shots. 👏👏👏 What lens did you use?
Thanks mate ! The fuji 18 mm f2
Just curious why you gravitate to the X-E4 the same focal length when you have a Q2? No matter which camera use you, clearly you’re a talented photographer. Personally I like the images following post from your Leica, but that’s just me. Cheers!
Hi Elliot ! Well I am sucker for the fuji film simulations and I got a pretty good deal on a second hand XE4. And I wanted a camera that I can take everywhere with me (the Q2 is very expensive and wouldn't carry it to the gym with me). Thank you for your comments :)
NICE!
Thanks Manoj :)
hello the Fujifilm X-E4 can the shutter be commanded by the phone like the Ricoh GR? thanks I wonder why you could use this trick for some close-up photos of the subjects
Hi Zia. To be honest I don't know and have never tried . However the camera is so silent on electronic shutter that probably nobody will notice you taking the pictures :). Or are you a spy? :))
@@OctavianCarare ok thanks 👍
Did video also shoot on XE4..?
do you mean the intro ? No :)
Really nice, as usual. Which recipe do you use ? I am searching one that I can use all the time, everywhere (I don’t like spending time editing). Thank you !
Hello Mathieu ! I didn't use any recipe, just the classic negative simulation. For my side, I don't mind editing :)
👍❤🤘
😍🤩😎
Thank you
nice shoots
you need to get closer
Thanks ! Will do :)
This is dancing traditional from Indonesia, name is reog Ponorogo 😂😂😂🤙
Yes! It was really impressive and beautiful 🤩
wonderful as always :) I have a question - how you make pictures, looking on the screen or through objective?
Hello and thank you ! Depends on the situation, I would say 50/50 but looking through viewfinder helps me frame better, however getting quickly the shot sometimes is better on the screen :)
Classic Negative?
Yes
Very disappointing, no long lingering look on a waffle. Rest was great, that camera renders lovely colour but I still love my Q2 more! Thank you.
Fair enough! Waffle coming in the next video I am back in Belgium :). I love the Q2 as well :)
@@OctavianCarare lovely, looking forward to it haha!
kkkkkkk. 6:11
Thanks :)
I don’t get this whole snapshot straight out of camera “nothing needs to be done” cliches style of “street photography”.
Taking the picture is only the beginning.
Hi Carlos :) that’s the theme of the video :) editing can enhance severely the pictures, even if it’s a simple crop :). I wanted to challenge myself and not edit the pictures . That’s all :) still a cliché though
@@OctavianCarare I mean, this concept is very popular with Fuji users (as you can see from the responses here). They believe it is the ultimate to just go out, take snapshots in JPEG with a film simulation and say “this is all straight out of camera”.
My opinion is this thinking is why 99.9% of photography is so bad and weak derivative garbage nowadays. It’s the difference between taking a photo and making a photo.
To quote Ansel Adams: “‘When I’m ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I’m interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.’”
Pressing the shutter is only the beginning.
I agree with you Carlos and disagree as well. Fuji has this particularity of film simulations that look very good straight out of the camera, you are basically having edited pictures without going into a editing software. Sometimes street photography is about that snapshot, it happens so quickly that you barely have time to frame and compose. If you are into landscape photography as Ansel Adams well that’s a different thing :).
@@OctavianCarare This is for “street” or landscapes or any photo. He’s saying you shoot from within not without. If you’re just snapping at stuff then you’re shooting for a style. On the streets you have all the time in the world. If you pay attention and observe you’ll see the moments before they happen. You will see them coming a mile away.
I don’t like the term Street Photography because it really doesn’t mean anything.
@@carlosmcse I disagree regarding having all the time in the world on the streets but that's my opinion. I agree with you though, if you don't put any soul and shooting from within you are just snapping pointless :)
