I'm norm this is my brother and you
literally never held a camera no not
ever
we're going to change that today also
look how tiny this hallway heads
this is so narrow
so since my brother has never held a
camera before in his life
I thought it'd be good to bring out my
buddy Lucas Lucas is in charge today
where are you taking us out to first
we're gonna here shrine he is right you
actually like run a workshop based on
this don't you yeah yeah yeah so I
usually take people there but we're not
gonna do like everything that we usually
do but I'll show you like the highlights
but he's gonna learn how to use a camera
today right I've been so excited about
that you starting with the phone and
then you'll graduate to a camera
eventually let's just hope it goes well
[Music]
what I like about this shrine is not
touristy it's like a little bit of a
hidden trial you know
pretty big except the good shooting
because you get unique shots and then
you have those people to kind of contend
with
it's my favorite truck
[Music]
not that many shrines out there with
escalators so there
[Music]
listen to those cicadas oh I love it let
me turn this a little what's the plan
for today plan is to get Alex from like
almost no photography experience to
three fantastic shots then you know
twenty minutes okay so you are already
in there taking some photos how do you
feel that it turned out they were okay
can you do better I would hope so enough
of this
[Music]
how did it feel pretty good do you feel
like you have a better understanding lot
better than than I did when I first
there were three locations we went
through there yep
starting in the first location what
transpired right the first thing we did
was composing the shot so you do it for
like you know and you get the whole
thing and it's kind of cluttered right
what I want to teach you is how to
change your perspective on things and
focus on the details and then those
details you know together with a couple
of shots and tell the story of the show
right we focused on a very crisp and
like well thought-out composition that
was the first step like a perfect film
shot what you want to do is get it like
flush like this and then it's because we
want the detail the benefit of a phone
is it focuses really close already
already a great start see that in like
30 seconds encouraging getting closer or
getting into a perspective that is not
the typical perspective which is usually
far back is just getting the whole thing
so the second spot we took that first
concept a little bit further and now we
included multiple layers right we had
the close things and we brought out the
camera as kind of a frame for the shot
give it this extra element extra
dimension right on the phone
the camera about spring some camera
settings and stuff there's something in
the students a little bit blurry and
soft one yes but not quite enough right
so that's why we're interested again
we're like three shots in and you're
already upgrading to a camera are you
ready for this I'm ready I think I have
a camera in my bag I'll try it out
absolutely Alexander gets to use my
backup camera today haven't even opened
up the strap for it yet and it's hot
alright Alexander are you ready to be
anointed I'm ready I think leading some
really epic music for this moment
let's try is it too much this too much
all right let's just do this
[Music]
so better yet the camera you don't need
to work out any other setting try to do
the same shot now just like you do with
the phone very good but what did you
think of using the camera versus the
phone is definitely a lot easier to
figure it out once I knew what to do and
I picked it up really quickly yeah I
think they'll do suddenly got really
windy look oh she killed it again was
composition and framing mm-hmm so what
happened in the third location so the
third spot built on that even more
[Music]
we were shooting that night tunnel story
game which is saying that that's like an
easy shot right because it's already so
photogenic but you notice that again the
obvious shot the first shot we took okay
but what was the problems there was a
lot more open gaps on lining the gate
and it was like clutter it was extra
stuff one way six that is consumed in
right because if you just move closer as
being found
it doesn't work right now so come over
here we can eliminate the gap
all right was that easy it was kind of
tricky or it was pretty easy
mmm good I'm glad to hear that that
means you're learning fat for all the
years I've lived in Tokyo and known
about this location I've never been here
really really I thought you have been
here like I've been to the location but
I've never actually come here here and
it's quiet yeah this is just a perfect
spot if you want to come out well do
photography all right let me move this
camera and we're gonna get on our way
because the best part of all of this
it's just like the start of our
adventure today we're going on like
another little photo adventure right now
action yes yes after coffee I really
wanted to do this today because I knew
would make Alexander's visit to Japan
and capturing those memories that much
better so thank you so much my pleasure
and I hope these take some of these
skills with you on the rest of your trip
and not just the triplet no Lucas out
here to do this today because Lucas
actually runs a company that does photo
adventure adventure seriously guys if
you are coming to Tokyo and you want
learn how to get better pictures and
just see sights that maybe you otherwise
wouldn't get to see we may even have
something coming in the work thank you

this adventure part 2 is just around the
corner if you enjoyed this one
