The road trip videos won’t ever get old, I just love the feeling you get while watching these. Just wow man

I'm impressed willem managed to get that furry hamster to stay on his finger throughout all the voiceovers in the studio

Growing up in the U.K. California was always a world away for me, but it was always a place I needed to go one day. I did, but I only scratched the surface. Your images of the streets around LA and California coast have a great vibe and give me a better incite of the real California. I grew up in the film era becoming a pro photographer shooting film. I absolutely hated digital taking over, but loved the freedom it brought. I never sold my film cameras because I knew one day a new generation would embrace film and so here we are. The Renaissance of Film Photography. Thank you for being part of of that Renaissance.

@brandovlogs I did just that when I was there. Monterey was my favourite place of all. We did 17 mile drive and stopped for my first ever walk on a Pacific coast beach. The sand was so white and shone like diamonds in the sun. A low strip of cloud hung on the horizon which you’d never see on the Atlantic coast. We went to Carmel also. Stunning!! San Luis Obispo, ( SLO), was amazing too as we arrived for an overnight stay during the Farmer’s market one Thursday evening. California had a lot to live up to for me waiting so long to go there, but it was far better than I could ever imagine. I love the light there too.

So so beautiful, such a relaxing video... Thank you, Willem! Really loved the photos as well and I hope you don't hesitate to share what you really want to share with us :)

The photos of Big Sur with the bridge in the background made me say “wow” out loud. Absolutely beautiful work

@iantovey7132 2 месяца назад

Willam, a camera in your hands is magic! The Pacific Coast Highway is probably the best drive ever in my book. Discovered you today on RU-vid and I am loving your work/passion.

@ZaneGage 2 года назад

Honestly what an incredible set of images, particularly the ones that are more green and hills-y near the beach

@paulschumacker9901 2 года назад

Changes in your photography style are a natural evolution of your change in environment. Embrace those changes, as that’s what life is all about. Thanks for all the inspiring videos!

@seanhansen9701 2 года назад

Really enjoyed this! I loved the short clips that set the mood, sort of like a living photograph. And I'm really liking the "monochromatic" photos. Glad you decided to put it all into a video.

@rebeccasuur 2 года назад

Appreciate the thinking out loud about how your style has changed moving to California. It’s a nice interpretation of your work. The vertical picture of the green gras field by the ocean is super nice in my opinion. And compared to the other green ones they all look special. Thanks for putting your work abs yourself out there. I can imagine that’s not easy all the time.

Dude kicking the ball at 5:55....love that!

@bobsykes 2 года назад

I love how much you're enjoying living near the California coast! Late afternoon here near the ocean the fog, haze, and mist from the surf, combined with the sun setting and shining through all of that, give a light like I've never seen anywhere else. These photos are beautiful. Please know I appreciate seeing what you're motivated by photographing, not only review videos of this or that latest film or camera.

@danealexander7325 2 года назад

I love when you make these kinda videos! It's always so lovely to see the places I've been visiting all my life being framed in such a beautiful way

@michaelhall3718 2 года назад

I absolutely love your California photos. They’re such a cool style, and I think that you have been able to embrace the whole vibe of California.

@judegarcia3928 Год назад

I constantly walk in that Asilomar neighborhood and you made it look so dreamy! Such a fun video!

@EricPost9 2 года назад

This video is so incredibly relaxing. The soft music with the soft photos and video. Always love these videos.

@martynaflisiak2117 2 года назад

your videos are sooo calming and relaxing!! I absolutely loved seeing the comparison of your old and new work as it’s very fascinating to see your style change. I can’t wait until my copy of your book arrives in the Netherlands and I will finally be able to look at physical version of your work 🤍

@leoludwigs 2 года назад

Those pictures are absolutely amazing! I was kinda surprised by the look and feel but I have to say I absolutely love this new approach!

so many great photos in a single video! I loved the blue hour one down on the rocks

@zhangalex3856 2 года назад

I've ever visited Morro Bay with beautiful sunsets too, the big Morro Rock is really impressive. thanks for your photos, taking me back to that moment.

@jordiolsson 2 года назад

These photos displayed as a collection based on their dominant colours look amazing and are so refreshing compared to majority of film photos. Loved this video!

@timgehrsitz3267 2 года назад

I love your comment about the smoke stacks being context clues, using this unique feature to ground the rest of your photo

@anthonymollicone 11 месяцев назад

Every single one still is mind-blowing. Thank you Willem!

@raphaeldesmares719 2 года назад

This is probably the best videos you ever made, I'm watching your videos from few years and this one is another step up. Everything is beautiful, you explain perfectly what you want to do, the video quality itself is awesome, the music matches as hell with the mood of the trip. Congratulations from France 👏🇫🇷

it must be really nice to see the world with your eyes. not many people that i know of can catch intro details well- we’re all just wrapped up into ourselves instead

@velyvely6479 2 года назад

i think these are my fave yet! also cant get over how beautiful that beach with the winding water was!

@CallieFornia99 2 года назад

Willem, these photos are breathtaking!! Looking forward to the day you release a new book full of these photos of SoCal 🌅

@MarkHinderliter 2 года назад

Willem, I very much enjoy your walking and road trip videos. Please consider doing such a video EVERY SINGLE DAY so I can stop googling for "photographers like Willem Verbeeck" in the gaps. Seriously though, your work is great and it's a treat to watch these. Thanks to everyone who helped as well.

yesssss just what I need! about to spend 2 weeks exploring California with a couple dozen rolls of film!

@Caballeroshot 2 года назад

Big Sur/Monterey Bay has to be one of my favorite places to photograph and drive through. I drove from Santa Cruz all the way to LA along the coast 3 times now and every time I find something new. These are awesome shots, the weather is hit/miss in that area and you surely got a gem that sunny day.

@1994OBO 2 года назад

Love the monochrome look as wel. I guess the way you’re able to frame your photos and impose your own eye on them is the main thing that attracts me to your work. The black and white photos you took a couple of videos back are just as amazing to me as more colorful or monochrome work!

@edoardodepiccoli3004 2 года назад

really amazing photo taken at big sur. made me feel nostalgic of that place even if I have never been to america

@dan-le-brun 2 года назад

Live in the UK but randomly stayed for 6 weeks in Los Osos down the road from Morro Bay in my late teens. Borrowed push bikes to get around so went up to Morro Bay and man it was lovely. Also a stand out moment was riding the bikes over to San Louis Obispo. Travelling through the sparse countryside between the two with vultures circling overhead! An odd experience for a not well travelled english kid! Wish I was into photography back then, but it was about 25 years ago now.

Each photography blew my mind, you re incredible

@briangaroutte7233 2 года назад

Hey that’s Asilomar in Pacific Grove, and south down 1 towards Carmel Higjlands. If you’re ever back that way, do check out Point Lobos. Recently moved away from there and into Santa Barbara, I loved shooting in PG, but I love living in SB so much more. Thanks for bumping my little spot Willem!

@totallyrocknroll574 2 года назад

Next time you are in the area I recommend checking out the neighborhoods near downtown San Luis Obispo. There are so many cute old houses. You could walk around looking at them for hours. Hearst beach in Cambria is also gorgeous, if you hike up the path through the eucalyptus trees to the cliff overlooking a cute cove.

@alang253 Год назад

I swear I saw you walking around the neighborhood in Morro Bay maybe a little more recently then when this video was posted. Can't say it was you but it reminded me of you for some reason and just randomly thought about it and looked it up and found this video. Great shots, miss that little town ever since my GF dumped me and I had to leave it.

@sregister 2 года назад

Nice video. Keep driving north sometime--the Oregon coast has a similar feel but it's interesting how the dense forest moves right up to the shoreline.

@ReimannPembroke 2 года назад

Really beautiful video! Glad you took those iPhone clips! It's cool to see your work change with your environment. Now I'm inspired to go finish my roll of Portra 160 in my Yashica Mat-124 for a video!
