The old lady was speaking Tibetan, I think she said “I never visited America , but I have a photo taken by an American, now if people ask I will say I am from America”. For elder Tibetans who are not familiar with world geography, they usually only know Tibet, Mongolia, China, India, Nepal, and America.
Yup agreed, I’m Nepalese and she definitely wasn’t speaking Nepali. So Tibetan sounds about right. @Pierre loving your “Ramro” accent and glad your loving Nepal 😎🙏🏽
Aw thanks youuuu! Next time I need a translator with me (although it changes the interactions a bit). Haha that lady made my day she was just so happy to have photos of her created
Thank you for the amazing content! Your attitude and photography always bring a smile to my face. I teach art, and I've occasionally shown your videos during photography lessons to my students. I can clearly see the spark and interest in their eyes when they watch your street photography content. Wanted also than you some how for your content so I purchased your presets for LR.
Really cool seeing how different people handle these situations. Because you have this outgoing yet approachable and affable personality, you can load up on the biggest and best gear. People aren't intimidated by any of it because your personality puts them at ease - and the world becomes your portrait studio. The result is these gorgeous shots that perfectly capture true personalities. I'm on the other end of the spectrum. Snaking through the scene, zone focusing with a tiny Leica and a single prime, sniping shots without disrupting any of the goings-on. I get near zero shots like you have here but I capture the setting honestly as I experience it. What's really cool about your approach is that it's both. There is the honesty of the setting... But then your personality pulls a sort of "best version" of people forward. No 50mm from behind, no cell phone distracted people, no clever shafts of light borrowing passers-by for compositional intention. The shots are confrontational without any sort of negative connotation. They're actively participating in the photo because it's an extension of you and your presence. Super impressive, as always 💪
Thanks for the detailed comment, I love hearing your point of view on that. Some angles I almost didn't think about: the personality aspect. Did you know that besides the personality, a few years back when I decided to go "pro" I had absolutely zero confidence with people and my camera, didn't know what to do, felt super awkard but somehow I allowed myself to practice with discomfort with many friends and friends of friends, portraits and quickly I discovered I could also enjoy it haha. All that to say, a lot of what you see was learned when it comes to interacting with people :) Hope you have a beautiful day when you read this
@@Pierretlambert That's awesome to know. I've started branching out that direction a tiny bit around NYC. People can be very accommodating here for street shots, as you know from experience I believe. I like what I do now but I do want to be able to get those special moments when I see them. It's funny, I can sit in front of 20 kids and ramble art theory while failing and making a mess on a 15ft projector. No problem. Someone smiles towards me when I'm taking a photo... I'll probably run 🤣. I'll get there. Anyway, thanks for sharing a bit of your story. I don't know all of your content... but if you've never done a video talking about your journey with overcoming that initial awkwardness/etc stage... you definitely should!
Hi Pierre, you have a great approach in asking for people to take there picture. You kept it simple and you did not put on an act. I like the way you interact with people and have a good reppor. It reminds me of on old video you did when you photographed a man in his Truck and then you went back and gave him that photo. Great memories you made in Nepal, now go ger some rest and we will look forward to your next video. Thanks Pierre 😊
I may have been in Kathmandu the same time as you based on your recent posts, people are insanely friendly I agree, the worst reaction I got taking street photos was complete indifference, good shots!
Hi Pierre, great pictures as always! I have a Organizational question: I will also be flying to Nepal in April with Air India and a stopover in New Delhi. Do I need a visa for the stopover in Delhi if I don't leave the airport and will my luggage be passed through or do I have to check it in again? Air India customer service can't give me any information for whatever reason...
Check the arrival and departure terminal. If the terminals are the same, maybe u dont need a visa. Usually new delhi airport, terminal 1 and terminal 3 are the operational ones.
In transit with Air India in Delhi I didn't need a VISA and my bag went through. Hope this helps! Watch the first video of the Nepal series I think I show a bit the flight.
