This Channel has completly gone by me.. o boy have i missed out! Your awesome! You have a great thing on your face that we share, that are great to use for reflections!
14:47 the bartender also fancied a tip, right? 😁
This is easily one of the most entertaining and informative YouTube channels on photography. Please keep them coming Alan!
Alan found your show by acciden. Brilliant. You are the nutter on the shutter. Keep going. Matthecat
Thanks for the reflection tips Alan, just starting out on street photography 👍
Always instructive 👍🌻
Superb camera work and imagination
Please more videos like this please
Here is a sarcastic and nasty comment.
Great video and the best bit was the pub crawl. Way to shoot gentlemen !!!!!!
I always loved your photos but with youtube channel i love you more! Thanks Alan!
Such a well done video, and photographs! Fellow Street, Youtuber here from OSLO. Great work! 🎉
Likeable, funny and gifted. Great tips. Thank you.
Awesome channel, just found it, via YT recommendation. My weirdest reflection was a self-portrait from a faucet in the bathroom in the hotel I was staying. And a self-portrait of a reflection in a car side mirror that was a reflection of a car window.
These are so good!!! Thanks, Alan.
Please don’t cry over this comment.
One thing I have to learn from you it patience. I don’t know why I am always in full hype. LOL. I will think think about slowing down, wait and take my time. Thanks for the amazing videos.
Photography with fun
My dream is to one day meet you and go shooting some great shots. Well I can only dream❤
Love your humour Alan, you are quite likely the best Street Photographer alive today!
I especially liked the "slightly strange things" reflective examples to look for. The combination of unique tips and lighthearted commentary makes me want to watch more. Subscribed.
I love the way you are, and your videos are absolutely delicious.
Now, I need a reflection !
Thank you very much
Love your videos Alan!
Question – is that Bottega Veneta bag the Padded Tech Cassette in ‘Classic’ size? Do you just stick your M body, 24 lux and one other lens in there? Cheers!
Alan, your ability to find and capture reflections is truly inspiring. Your work not only showcases your incredible creativity but also highlights your unique sense of humor, which makes each video a joy to watch. It’s amazing how you transform everyday scenes into something extraordinary. Keep up the fantastic work, your talent and vision are truly a breath of fresh air!
I’ve been eagerly awaiting your next video and can’t help but wonder what fascinating projects you’ve been working on during these past few months. I’m sure whatever you’ve been up to will be presented with your signature charm and creativity. Looking forward to seeing the results of your latest adventures in photography – I know it’ll be worth the wait!
This channel is amazing. It’s educational and entertaining at the same time. What a great treasure on Youtube. Thank you!
I thought the pint glass itself could have been used as a reflective surface? Love your videos. Commented, Liked & Subscribed 👍.
Excellent entertaining content!
Alan, last video was 5 months ago. Please don’t stop making these videos. These are gold. Thank you!
Thanks to give a fun way to learn about Streetph🤗🤗
Just discovered this channel on my way of building an opinion to buy a monochrom camera (shooting B&W anyway in 99 % of my projects). However – this is not only information sharing on street photography – it’s humorous, it’s inspiring and motivating to take the cam, go out and shoot. I never was asked to "like" and "Subscribe" in this winking way. Allan is passionate on photography – I believed that within seconds. THANK YOU !
The weirdest thing I use is when I use the mirror to look at my self😅
Mmmmm. Crispy Pints.
You are the best ❤
Who knew Alan Schaller was funny? I’d always liked your photos on Instagram, but love your videos.
Inspired by your photos. found ur channel. watched all of it.
Other youtube videos are gear gear gear pixel peeping how sharp how this how that which to buy. X vs X gosh.
Never knew you were this goofy
I love it
Love the content too
Ps anyone ever told you you look like Brian(Q) from impractical jokers. And now finding out of your goofiness, are you sure you don’t have an alter ego ?
Still my absolute favourite photo channel on YouTube. Fun, good tips, inspiring and actual great photos!
@Alan Schaller …. Was Fly fishing by J R Hartley in stock ?? 😂
Brilliant video
The humour and the irony are absolutely exquisite and perfect!
It was so fun to watch your video Alan. I was smiling through out the video. Your sense of humor made it look all so easy.
And a lot of admiration for the video producer, editor. He has done a great job.
You’re great Alan, hope to see you in the streets someday! I’ve used a loo stall as a reflector in a selfie lol.
You are truly amazing! It is really a pleasure to watch your content and – above all – your amazing pictures
Why is it that every awesome channel that I find stopped posting six months ago?
I don’t know how I missed this one 😱💥🔫. But it tasted so sweet since I missed another new video 😟
As for other tricks/techniques, there’s some other spiritual people that always carry a pouch with crystals, so they can be placed in front of the lens to produce some cool reflec… to produce some photographs with "good energy" (😁)
The guy at 9:07 – 9:12 lol
Great video, mate!
Alan is so entertaining!
Fab video, really enjoyed all the tips, I love reflections and i adored your istanbul cat one. hope you got home OK after all the pubs…..hic!……..

Still working up the Courage to take more street shots 🤣
I have many great reflection shots using sunglasses and ski goggles. Many of them have pints in them 😂🍺
