    Hellooo, to finish off the Japan series I decided to make one last giga-video with all the footage from the various film photography trips I was able to experience in Japan. I'm thinking this could be cool to just put on in the background while working on something, a bit like a photography version of a study-with-me video :D Also big thank you to Squarespace for sponsoring the video! Head to www.squarespace.com/teocrawford to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code "TEOCRAWFORD". I hope you enjoy it, have a good week! <3 Teo

    Maaaaan, there is no way someone can just leave the video playing in the background... such a nice footage and well picked music!
  • @GawxArt
    Thank you for this Teo! You’re such an inspo!
  • @draby11able
    You’re my biggest inspiration when it comes to photography.
  • @marcelofantoni
    Teo: I'm writing to you from Argentina. I am a regular observer of travel videos, walking tours, etc. I want to congratulate you for your excellent work of photography and editing of this video that has led me to know those beautiful places that Japan has. The music is inspiring and perfectly accompanies every image, every intention that you have wanted to give to this material. I appreciate this video that I have enjoyed it a lot and I have it saved to watch it at any time. In my country, when we say goodbye to someone for whom we feel great affection or admiration or because we like their work, we end with a "I send you a big hug" and thank you again for sharing your work with us.
  • @rianrunsaround
    Am I the only one that gets Studio Ghibli vibes watching this? Especially with the fantastic music choices. Lovely.
  • @Budi_Studios
    The beauty of Japan looks so expensive and was not built overnight. It's like visiting a tourist spot, but every corner of the village and city is constructed like a tourist destination. No wonder many people admire it and continue to visit to see it firsthand. Sorry if wrong..
  • @ericofelix2005
    Amazing country, amazing photography, amazing film, amazing editing, sequence and music. Even you synchronized each sequence on the first beat of new bar (from the music)! Man, you're AMAZING!
  • @fleetingstill
    this is such a visual treat; once when I can finally visit japan, i'd love to experience japan with this full of love and wonder POV, like how you portray. It is relaxing and all the right slices of life. I cannot emphasize this enough, I love this 2 hours documentary of yours!
  • @segatheegr8
    This inspired me to clean and organize my room in which I recently moved in. Thank you for this beautiful video.
  • @lucid1026
    I am obsessed with this video, everything is just perfect. the sound design or should i say the selection of music, it is just superb. the photographs, the clips from japan. the environment of japan itselt. i have rewatched this so many times, i play it when i'm doing something or studying, a study with me with this music would be amazing. amazing video teo, love all the way from asia !!
  • @creasik_
    Almost sad to see this is the last one of the japan series, it was truly an amazing work from you each time !
  • @mijaumiaumiao
    So motivational. The photographer makes the photo not the camera. Absolutely beautiful work
  • @nelson.arguello
    So that's why it took 30 hours to render the video! 😅 already enjoying it so much! Great work Teo! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
  • Two full hours?! I love this!! I love listening to your videos in the background while studying or going on walks with my camera myself so this type of video is greatly appreciated 😭😭
  • @Kelly74525
    used this to study, I didnt even know I was studying. Definitely need more videos like this, thank you Teo!
  • @sanzwastaken
    Thank you for this beautiful video. It brought real peace to my soul. It made me think about a lot of things, specially the things I really want in life and what my priorities are. Thank you.
  • @shonen84
    Dear Teo: thank you for sharing this wonderful journey. It reminds me of my dream trip to Japan back in 2016. My friends are from Nagano prefecture. We went to the Snow Monkeys, Matsumoto Castle, and they even went back to Tokyo to visit Asakusa, Akihabara and Odaiba with me. We also went to Kyoto. Your film brought back the memories, I got emotional watching it. Japan really is like a dream..the sounds, views, people, food.. thank you.
  • @giancarloalfanno
    Teo I just want to say thank you for your art and for sharing these moments and captured memories with all of us! 🙏 Because of you and your videos and photos I got inspired and motivated to dive into the world of film photography! I bought an Olympus XA3 which has brought me so just joy while using, and I also bought an Olympus OM-1 SLR which I'll be getting delivered from Japan this week! I also dropped off my first 3 rolls of film earlier today to have developed, and I'm so excited (and a bit nervous as well lol) to see the results! The way you see the world and capture moments in time thru your cameras is breathtaking and beautiful to witness! Thank you again SO much! ❤
  • @lil.ikuraa
    Hi Teo! This is such a soothing way of displaying the lovely little moments. I loved that you showcased videos and mixed in photos. It felt like we were going through your camera roll. 🙂
