So, this video is actually from my other channel, The Moe and O Photo Show, a podcast I create with my childhood buddy Moe. I thought it was relevant here, so I uploaded it. Plus, maybe we will get some new listeners over there. Check out the podcast:

This kind of photography is EXACTLY what I want my business to be about! I see very few people talking about this style of photography outside of typical street photography videos. Do you know of any good resources that touch more on in-home documentary style photography?
Do more Moe again 🙂
Great idea! I have a neglected x100T, the camera that drew me away from Nikon full frame, that would be perfect for this. Slow auto focus and lack of eterna became reasons for lack of use, but it would be perfect for the B&W docu style. New life for an old friend. Thanks!
Damn, that Nancy Borowick photo series about both her parents passing away from cancer is so powerful. Honest. Moving. I couldnt hold my tears.
Great inspiring show.
Hey Omar, great video and loved the practical recommendations.
Documenting my family in a photojournalistic or documentary type style is soooo important to me for one reason. Our parents took our pictures and we now have memories to show for them. Fast forward to 2020 and everyone is just snapping them with a phone. Well, phones break. Phones get lost. Phones don't have the image quality that will stand the test of time. And many people don't upload their photos to their computer before getting a new one and hundreds of photos just die in time. Many people say well that's why I upload everything to Facebook and Instagram. Well what happens when those disappear? Are you really willing to put all your trust into social media? I won't. So for that reason, I want to remember my son with the best quality photos I can get so that one day, we can both look back and laugh like I do with my parents now. I want my pictures to tell a story. I want to smell the cookies being baked with grandma, I want that nostalgic feeling of playing with old toys to come back when he looks at them, I want to evoke emotion to others that see them. In an era of instant, I want a lasting result. I am working on putting a book together of my son's first three years of life. Even if the files become corrupt on my computer, I will have a print to fall back on like the old days.
Love the channel and love the concept of this video Omar! Thanks so much. I will have to get to it. Cheers.
Thank you for ALL of your videos, Omar. You are helping me, step-by-step, learn the tricks of my X-T30 and boost my confidence so that I ultimately have this camera with me at all times. I loved this particular video because family, pets and travel are the types of photos I take most often, and I need all the advice I can get. Just recently learning and loving using prime lenses! Keep the fun coming!!
Hey Omar – long time viewer, enjoyed this. Lens at 8:38?
Very convenient tips, Omar! I also love that Fujifilm pen 😀
Hey Omar, do you use a flash for family photos? If you do, when would you add that?
Great videos. You have crack me up.
Heck yeah guys! Just found your channel and I'm so subscribed. Looking forward to watching your videos.
Any recommandations for a small budget fuji home documenting camera? Am switching over from sony to fuji, but there are soooo many cameras to choose from…
What lens did you use for this type of photography?
This is beautiful. Thanks you
Well. You got a new sub. Thanks YT algorithm!😁
Great video and advice … did smile at the Click Bait comment though (6 minutes before you got to headline subject!!) – but you’re such a nice guy so I forgive you!! 😂
Thanks for your wonderful videos! They helped me a lot to make the decision to get an X-T20, which I finally got recently. 😊
As a father of a two year old old daughter I like the idea of a separate SD card for family photography a lot. Great and simple idea!
But what really touched me deeply and got me writing this comment (which actually is my first YouTube comment ever) were Nancy's photos. What a beautiful and powerful, yet sad project.
Great episode!
Hey man, thanks for reminding me of what shooting all the time should mean ^_^
Thanks for your nice videos! I bought fujifilm after looking at them
What a great and inspiring idea. Keep up the good content..
Great Video
This is the first video that introduced me to you. Great stuff I subbed.

Always have my (only) camera sitting around with a pancacke lens so it's not intrusive and wide anglr enough for these close moments and fast enough to use flashless so eben less intrusive. Google photo's is great since i share with family eho might be less tech savvy. Photo books print for very little money these days. And having one or a few frames dedicated for the recent best family shots around the house, just out of the printer. Although having one professionally printed is easily worth it. And it allows you to work on your skills.
Lovely tips, great video!
