James is a very grounded person. Watching his videos always reminds me and I believe others too - not to complicate things and remember what is simple and most important at the same time. Thanks, Roman for introducing him to ones that don’t know him.

There’s something magical about James’ photography and yet he’s such a humble guy. His channel, where is often self-deprecating, really does standout in a world where everyone is trying to be Peter McKinnon. It’s really refreshing to see people like him and Roman talking about their work in a way that is honest and giving.

I've encountered photographers solely focused on themselves. During street walks, they become defensive and territorial about specific spots or scenes, hindering collaboration. I value the camaraderie among photographers who engage in genuine conversation and enjoy the craft together. Instead of competing, why not uplift each other? It's not a race but a collective journey.

Agreed! Photography is meant to be fun with friends, not a competition.

Yeah I think I enjoying shooting travel/street photography on my own 99% of times. The 1% I head out is with a good friend of mine mostly to chill and take some shot in specific locations but otherwise, I enjoyed going solo as I can work on my own terms. Particularly when I do travel photography.

Good video I miss James I used to watch him back in his Lumix days

James is #1 on my list of KZreadrs I’d aspire to go have a pint with (Roman excluded 😂) this format feels a bit like that.

I love the videos that James produces. Never thought I would see a video about him. Found out some things about him that I did not know and may not have learned by just watching his videos. Good concept, worth another go.

I absolutely love James, and having you and him together is like a photography dream come true. You both have different styles, yet somehow I find a lot of similarity in your work. I love this this is video, and would love to see more!

A really strong start! You asked a good mix of articulate questions to cover a lot of ground & not predictably so. The mixture of chat with BTS worked well.

This was so good I watched it twice. I was intrigued by James' answers to a couple of questions: 1) Finding your focus enables distraction elimination. I needed that. 2) Find out what (photographs) you love and why. I needed that, too. Thanks for putting this together - you both are inspirational to me.

Two of the photographers that inspire me together, an absolute treat!

Thanks mate! Loved it! Keep 'em coming. 👍

Enjoyed the walk and talk format. Already follow James. Your questions revealed an additional side of him.

You two are two of my favorite photographers, so it's fun to see you together. This interview and walk around was great!

Thank you Roman. Two of my favourite photographers and KZreadrs in one video. Nice to see the two of you together.

I loved the format. I follow you and James and enjoy you and James...learn so much...Thank you.

Great concept. Would love to see more like it.

That was really good Roman. Your questions were thoughtful and the mixture of them with footage from Lisbon , James’s images (preceded by video of him taking them), and his answers, all in a well paced and not over long package is a fine recipe.

I love seeing people I've followed on KZread for years in someone else's videos. Gives you a different view of them, most importantly the genuine feeling you get. Great concept!

Loved seeing you two together in the other video. I love these videos where photographers interview other photographers like Paulie B or Jvpes. This video was such a treat to watch.

This is a goldmine of a video. James Popsys had the best beginner gear recommendation - to leave budget for photography travel - when I first got into photography some years ago. You're some of my favourite creators on here, it's wild to see you collaborate!

This new format is a very good idea to get familiar with other photographers! (Except in this case, I am following James since several years) I love your photos of Lisbon especially I spent 10 days in that city from begin to mid of November - we could have met, I remember all these locations ...

Great video Roman, really enjoyed it, I would definitely watch more in this format, James was an ideal first friend / photographer to interview, I love both his work and watching his channel, as I do yours.

Walking about, chatting, taking photos -- which you show to pay off a point -- wonderful -- really works on this channel. Good questions, Roman, queries that don't break the flow but add to it. I learned a lot about another photographer's point of view, such as "look for compositions that provide more questions than answers." More, please.

I quite agree with James on his views, he is spot on. It’s been emotional.

I am a follower of both your channels, so this is a treat!

We’re not sick of you yet Roman, love your style, and this walk & talk with James is a great idea.

I like this format a lot! Reminds me a bit of the Picture Profiles series by Mike Chudley. (which is a compliment for the both of You).

THIS WAS A BRILLIANT IDEA FOR A VIDEO, JUST BRILLIANT! I love seeing your face Roman, you really don't give yourself enough credit, but I'd love to see this format of videos more as well! You have a great personality for this kind of follow around interview. You give them plenty of space to do their thing while asking some genuinely interesting questions.

Loved this. Great advice about looking for photos that provide more questions than answers

Enjoyed that. And as you choose James I’m now following you - result. Nice easy format and informal chatting.

Love this format Roman. You could not have chosen a better, more grounded guest than James for your first walking interview.

Yes more interviews thanks Roman

Love this idea of interviewing other photographers.

13:37 Book-worthy words have been spoken.

My gosh .. where to start… I absolutely love this. I was watching James’s video with you and I thought I’d come over and now I had subscribed. James is a funny sausage. When I very first started watching his channel and looking at his photography, I kept on telling myself “ no not my bag”… then I returned and then I kept on returning and I kept on thinking “Gosh, I I’ll keep coming back to look at his photos and could stare at them for ages”…. Kept asking myself why I liked his photos so much and you know what it is sense of curiosity and searching I feel when I look at his work. I’ve gone from thinking, no not for me to actually thinking he now has to be on my favourite photographers. I’m so glad to come across your work now.. what a wonderful video. Thank you so much. I enjoyed it so much.

Love this!

Great video Roman... in a lovely city.

Love James. I watch all of his videos.

I'm very familiar with James but it was great to see him giving his candid answers to your questions. This was a really enjoyable format and it makes for a tighter feeling of community with the artists we follow. It would be great to see this as an ongoing component of your video content. Love the documentary aspect and the length and tempo were perfect. Even settling down in a cafe for a bit more intimate convo would be enjoyable. Great work.

A great video Roman & a great idea

the dynamic duo is back! 🔥

Loved it and love James

Loved it! I wish i had a photographer friend to travel with. Keep going, great content Roman. Greets from Belgrade.

Great video. Really enjoy hearing photographers views on why they take their photos. Whatever your genre you can always learn from others. Please continue the theme.

I have been following both you and James for years now not having a clue that you guys are friends. No need to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this video. 😁

I absolutely loved this.

Nice video, good questions and good answers. Glad to see you ask James about his favourite focal length, that's something he's never really talked about on his channel.

Interesting to know the view of other photographers. Nice one Roman.

I am a huge fan of Paulie B’s Walkie Talkies and it was so great to see this. I loved the European vibe, James’ thoughtful responses to your great questions. It was also very well put together. More please 🙏🏻

Really enjoyed this, twice. “People value photos because people know that people have made them.” Something about that I love. Thanks Roman and James.

Great questions. Enjoyed this format very much ❤

Great format! Love the fact that you startet with James

Love this style, Roman! And I am a big fan of James too, but it was great to see him in this relaxed interview-style conversation. I picked up things that I hadn't heard on his channel 😊🙏

Love the format. More please!

Smashing format, Love to see more.

You're both lucky to have each other as friends.

excellent please do this approach again. my two favorites together what a blast being up in Braga whish I could have been there as well

I like this format and hope you do some more of it. James is one photographer I already follow and he is good at what he does. Well done.

I liked the format. I found your channel by following James. Looks like a great location too!

you two have some of my favorite styles of photos on the internet, great talent in this video

Hi you two!

Loved the idea and video chat, Roman

I’ve enjoy both your channels and seeing you both together is fun. Thank you for doing this.

I really appreciate it ...thanks, Rosaria

Absolute fantastic episode. I’m following the both of you for quite a few years now. I must say, today’s episode is probably one of the most enlightening of all episodes of both channels. Roman, you managed to ask James so smart and pointed questions that he could give really dense but simple answers. Thank both of you guys do much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I can’t think of any two photographers I’d rather follow along with looking for interesting compositions like you both do so well. And, you have a lot of fun (and coffee) along the way. Cheers for the season and through 2024.

This is a nice format, I'd really love to see more like that. James being in the first episode surely helps, he is one of my favourite photography KZreadrs, even when he switched from MFT to FF - I found his channel because he created valuable content for me learning about the system, but I stayed because of his personality driven videos. I'm looking forward to seeing more videos of this format.

I love James' channel. I'm an engineer and love the tech side of photography and understand technically how my camera works, but the art side of photography is much harder. James really helps with that.

Loved it. Thank you, Roman.

Love this format. Thank you 👍

absolutely brilliant advice in here, sharing this one with others. You may be onto something here!

For someone who's never done anything like this before, you did it well. Enjoyable taste of Popsys' quirks and informative. Thanks.

This was brilliant. More please!!! And thank you!

I like the format and would love to see more😍

Brilliant Roman, loved it! Please do more.

Roman. This was really well done.

More please! I thought this video was awesome, great job.

My two favourite photographers chatting. Perfect!

Refreshing. Love this.

Loved loved loved this!!!!!! Very informative 🙏

Worked for me, I like James (and follow his channel) he talks a lot of sense.

Very much enjoyed. TY

Love it!

Thank you Roman, great content with another fantastic photographer.

Thank you for this great video, Roman, thank you for your sophisticated questions and James‘ honest answers, which are very useful for me and others. I am following both of you since longer time and I am very glad to see you together. Nice event.

So much valuable advice from James, thank you very much

Awesome. More of these please!

I love James work, when I see a photo from him I immediately recognize as being his work, he has a nice and pleasant style

Love this format to be honest. More please. :)

Well said James and great interview Roman. I love this format, it was concise and the questions gave me ideas to reflect on. Thanks!

Really enjoyable watch, great to hear James answering some good questions. More please

Thanks Roman, I follow both of you. This was great seeing James from a different perspective. Please do more !

Excellent idea. I look forward to more like this.

Yes, more of this 🎉❤

Great interview with James Popsys. I follow James every week. I will now take a look at your videos. I found you when I saw James’s name.

I very much enjoyed this video and the interaction between the two of you, also enjoyed walkinh around that city with the both of you , I saw lots of opportunity

Wonderful format and great questions. Would love to see more like this. Thank you.

Thanks for this interview. I've been following James for a couple of years and love his work. This gave another perspective. Now we just need to have you answer the same questions for yourself.

Very fun and insightful! Great job!
