Wex Photo Video’s travel photography series returns. This time, travel photographer Matt Parry and our very own Kriss Hampton travel to India.

This first part of the trip is rounded off with a visit to the world’s tallest brick minaret, the Qutub Minar, and the chance to photograph some long-exposures as the light fades over the India Gate war memorial.

Brilliant video/photos. First time I see that the photographer has not focusses on the poverty and the squalor which is prevalent in our country! Super stuff!
Are you the same person who helped him?
@Ryker Marcelo why would you hack into your girlfriends instagram? just ask her the password instead?
My big takeaway from this was having a local guide. Makes all the difference in a culturally different city and maximises opportunities to get under and into the city. A bit of respect and engagement with the locals is also key. Thought the photo of the old lady was the best. Good stuff.
I agree on all your points :) The photo of Saraswati (the old lady) is one of my favourites from Delhi too.
I loved that closeup of the lady! Would love to see more headshots like that.
Happy photographer's day 🎉🎈🎉 2020 and you have to visit south india especially Karnataka 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳❣️❣️❣️
Love this series! Can’t wait to watch all episodes. Love the video/photo techniques and narration. Thanks for sharing
Thank you! The Varanasi video is my favourite so we saved the best until last!
@wexphotovideo I just found your channel and I went to India in 2009 and I was a visiting professor and I know that Indian people love taking selfies!! I was ask to take a selfie with so many people, also autographs and Indians were always helpfull in taking my picture! India is a dream to photograph!!! Thank you for the video!!

Phenomenal Video!
Thanks for watching! KH
Brilliant, simply Brilliant. I am an Indian never visited Delhi yet. I live in Kolkata, this video makes me want to get my camera, take a train and visit Delhi and its streets at once.
I've been several times and love it! I've not yet been to Kolkata but hopefully one day!
Beautiful Video , I love India, I enjoy seeing it through your eyes.
This was awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it Marek! Thank for watching. KH
Greetings from Middlewich Matt. Love the videos. Could you post a little about managing the harsh contrast/light in these streets. Did you use HDR to overcome these?
Hi Peter. Glad you liked them. I was shooting early morning / late afternoon so the light was not too bad but in the narrow streets light will always be tricky. I don't use HDR but expose for the highlights and use the dynamic range of the camera to lift some the shadows were needed. The Sony a7III is superb for this so there has been minimal editing to the images in this series.
Inspired

amazing
Fantastic 👌

Great Travel Video Thanks Guys
Thanks Paul :)
Great Video!
"bits and bobs" I love it.
great video🎉 where is this place, where the kids are jumping into this water? thx (im going to delhi next month)…
Very nice
Love you video! Same happened to me in Uzbekistan, every few steps people wanted to take selfies with me... feels like a celebrity, doesn't it :))))
haha a little bit :)
such a nice video!
Thanks Ron! KH
Hey,Please modify your start of the video.The map being used to represent India is showing wrong territorial region.Do request to please use the correct one,otherwise remove that part now.
Just came back rom Delhi, amazing place, we found it very hard to get a photo of the locals without them wanting a tip from you for the photo.
Hi Darren Delhi certainly is amazing and the people so friendly. I don't think I was asked for a tip once in all my time in India but I know it does happen.
Amazing video Matt!!! I'm planning to go to India in March for Holi, is Mathura the best place to attend this festival?
Thanks Dwayne. I've never witnessed Holi (yet) but I've heard Matura is a great place to see it although as Anna comments it can be very crowded!
well done really enjoyed this video, if only i could afford to buy a sony system
Gald you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching Andy! KH
Buy any system. I own two 6 years old fujis for a couple of hundred bucks each, with only two m42 manual lenses and they make me feel extremely happy while shooting. Not sure if a newer system would do that just because of the specs.
What is the name of guided walk company that you used?
What lens are you shooting your Street photography?
Such a nice feeling ❤️ . May I know which camera used for shoot this video?
We are glad you enjoyed our video, @Gnanesh nani. The camera we use in most of our videos is the Sony A7s mii, shooting in SLog2. Thanks for watching - SB
@@WexPhotoVideo thanks for your reply 🤗
Which camera do you suggest for beginner
9.54 bless her nice capture
Which lenses did you use for this trip? You mentioned the 16-35 2,8 but saw that you switched lenses :-) Great video:-), makes me want to travel more.
Hi Isabella. I used the Sony 24-70 f/2.8 GM for 90% of the shots in the videos. I also took the Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM which you will see in the next video.
We'll be releasing another video at the end of the series that runs through all the kit Isabella. Thanks for watching! KH
may i know what lens are you using to take these shots. for the camera is a7iii but what lens are you using?
Hi Vinnan I was mainly using the 24-70 f/2.8 GM lens.
Love those photos, Did you take them as RAW then edited or did you take .Jpeg?
Hi Sanjay. I shot both Raw and jpeg but these are mainly edits from the raw files. Thanks, Matt
7:39 reminded me of a great photographer but forgot his name...
What leneses were you using. You mentioned the 16-35mm but was the other lens?
Hi Chris, I primarily used the Sony 24-70 f/2.8. Thanks, Matt
Nice
nice video
What equipment ?
Correction you were wondering through the streets of what is known as "Old Delhi"
I want to become a travel photographer what I do brother??? Help give some ideas!!!
What's the best way to find a private guide in India?
Really enjoyed the video mate. However, was a little sad when the Map of India Shown in the beginning was not proper. It had a portion of our territory cut off from it. Please respect the sentiments of the people towards their country by doing proper research next time. Thank u.
tracks name plz background music
Wow
How did you edit your pictures
Lightroom :)
"No ice-cubes in drinks and don't eat the salad".
Great video with lots of great info for people wanting to take traveling photos....however...his grip on his camera drives me crazy. Left hand needs to be under the lens not on top. The stability difference is big and an easy bad habit change that beginners need to learn from the start. Not only stability it allows you to have use of your right hand because you cradle and hold the lens with the left your right hand can let go. Keep up the good work...
Hi Jonathan thanks for the tip. Sorry if my grip drives you crazy ;) I agree with your comment and some of the Sony lenses are even designed with a side button for the under lens grip you describe. However, while it is a bad habit I personally find it much more comfortable my way and have never noticed any issues with stability. I will give it a go on my next shoot though :)
With In body image stabilization and a heavy lens and body I guess it doesn't matter how you hold it.
0:14 it is not the correct map of India. Plz use correct map. The northern part such as Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh is not correct. Otherwise the content is very good. Thank you
Really surprised that the photographer guide, Sandeep, did not take you to the Qutub Minar by the evening after dusk as the lights come on like the India Gate and it looks great, You can check my instagram handle, pulsating_pentax and will find a few shots... Think you would need to a second trip to capture the looks of Delhi post dusk...
U may cantact me if u again came to delhi . I also do street photography
I am join with you ???
One thing I’ll recommend Plz don’t eat street foods in india too much They can cause you food posing
