thank you so much for the cheat sheet
I like the first tip #crop#
How about idea for ponsel photography??? By using wide angle wide lens??
Challenge film cameras, just in 10-minutes!
my only fear about starting street photography is that people will get mad at me for taking pictures of them.
Best advice ever, everyone should hear it. Don't worry about what others are saying. Do you and it will be fine
Exactly. That's one of the ways to stand out in this saturated world of photography. Build your own style, shoot in a way that's enjoyable for you, and get some bangers out there
I want to kill people
Seikatsu ok maybe don’t do you then
I wish i could use that saying outside of photography. I get severe anxiety when at the gym by myself

Tips covered in this video
5. Forget about settings
4. Use Prime over Zoom lens
3. Spent more time seeing Vs capturing
2. Shoot in all weather
1. Crop your Images
No. 5.
To be fair, he said that you you should shoot in Aperture mode with a minimum speed.
Don't get caught up in burst photography. Try to take one at a time to learn what you are photographing. Otherwise you should put the camera on video and shoot all day then go back and find the image you think you like best. Anticipate the photo from being acquainted with your surroundings. Be like an orchestra conductor, practice your score, assemble your orchestra, have the individual instruments work together, get their attention, start the music, get into the rhythm of the scene/score, be the action part, involve yourself, hum the tune, move your body, anticipate what is coming up. Do a dry run through several times, no photos taken, no pixel peeping, choose some sort of composition or theme to your photography, take a "wet" run; take test photos, then run through them, then interact with the action or scene as a very observant bystander. The camera is the tool, as are the musical instruments, and you are the conductor! You know the left and the right, the foreground and the background, the top and bottom views. Above all practice, practice, practice before the concert. Raymond

Nice thx
thanks dude
Pierre: go shoot in all weather.
Me: looks at my poor non-weathersealed camera and decides to stay indoors xd
Sarbottam Bhagat zip bag and rubber bands
What camera do you have?
@@Spectre-xj7lx I am a M 4/3 shooter. Currently shooting with GX85
Sarbottam Bhagat how are you finding the GX85? There’s a pretty good sale for it going on right now.
Sarbottam Bhagat i mean, it’s a pretty capable camera... currently shooting on a sony a6400 with a 7artisans 35mm f1.2
after watching some of your videos i decided to go that night outside by myself since it was snowing and shoot with a non-weathersealed camera i just had to use an umbrella and i was blown away by the results i think those were my best pictures that i have ever taken.
so i must thank you for the motivation that i got lately.
Best 3 primes for street photography in my opinion:
35mm
50mm
85mm
@@Jorpando just got myself a 85mm 1.4... its totally worth it! i have this lens on my camera and take my ricoh gr3 wirh me which is a small aps-c camera with a fixed 28mm
idk about 50... its too close to the other two... i think setups should be 24/50/85 or 105 and 35/85/135
I recommend a zoom covering 24-120 or thereabouts. You'll catch many more good moments than having using a prime. But P. L. seems more interested in posed street portraits, so a prime is fine for that.
24mm
80mm
and 35 or 50mm depend if like more close look or open look.
I've got a 50-200mm
I've been doing photography seriously for about 16 yrs and I've never heard another pro photographer say "don't crop your images". All my profs encouraged it, as it can give a different or better perspective. You can learn so much from cropping. :-D
One very big and prominent photographer on TH-cam FroKnowsPhoto is probably the one a lot of people have heard it from. Stems from the school where he was trained that told you that you should only crop with your feet. I completely disagree with that philosophy.
@@KarlMathiasMoberg Cropping can make the difference of having a shot vs. having nothing at all.
@@KarlMathiasMoberg Fro is a clown and rip off
Henri Cartier-Bresson (the pioneer of street photography) advises not to crop your images and to get everything perfectly framed in your viewfinder. Though he does admit to cropping one of his images because he was shooting through a fence at the time.
I think zooms are perfectly fine for an introduction to street photography. Perhaps even better for beginners. It takes a while to develop your eye for any type of photography and if you're glued to an 85 prime all day, you may miss a lot of shots because you weren't quite sure what your position should be, or you're in too tight of a space and aren't sure how to adapt to get the shot you want. Coming home with a bunch of missed shots can be discouraging and a zoom can help you get more out of your day as a beginner. You can reflect on the shots and start to understand where you might want to be for different focal lengths as you put more time into it and move into primes as you get comfortable. And the kicker, if you're going to crop, what does it matter? :D
If you have an 85 make sure you have a 24 or a 35 too
I tried street photography and I just don’t like taking a photo of somebody without permission. I’m not comfortable with it.
I actually searched for this video because I didnt know if it was rude or not.
i feel the exact same way. my friend goes around constantly taking photos of people and i dont know how he does it, to me it just feels so invasive. So many times ive seen people try to physically dodge the frame when I've got my camera and it just makes me feel so bad
@@abstractions1816 hence why using the 85mm lens helps, you can be at a distance away from your subject yet get a close up shot without the feeling of intrusion.
Use a zoom lens lol
I'm also not comfortable with taking pictures of people on the street. But what does help is the same thing what Isaac Sánchez Jin in the comments said: use a zoom lens. I know that in the video he said is to don't use a zoom lens. But if you're not comfortable with it and you definitely want to try street photography, you should just try the zoom lens. You can photograph people from a distance and they don't even notice.
That minimum shutter speed tip is gold! So simple and yet so effektive! Thank you so much - you have my subscription
“You do what you want and if it works out that is what is most important.” Love it. And I was getting some blurry images of a unicyclist the other day shooting in aperture priority. I don’t know why I never thought to set the minimum shutter speed. That might’ve helped
The BEST 5 street photography tips I've ever heard iin all my street photography education. I'm going to incorporate these in my MFA thesis.
I like street photography but my big mistake was too busy with the setting and I often missed actions. Shooting with A mode and setting the min SS are very helpful. Thanks 🤝
Thank you for the tips!! I’ve recently started photographing, and night time street photography is what I want to do more often.
I like your tip #1 and agree with you. I as a pro. photographer do crop my images too because as you said, I want to convey my images and tell a story more persuasively by removing distracting objects around the subject. People were saying that you shouldn't crop the images because some of people trust their equipment so much and use a wide-angle lens and make shots, having a mind that it will be cropped so I don't care how I compose. This is also true that we should avoid not composing and just shooting whatever you see and then crop all the images.
Yes Pierre it's absolutely true and these tips are on the money.
Thanks for this tip I'm new to photography and never knew what the minSS did. When I shot in AP mode my shutter speed was long and caused blurry shots.
I’d love to see a film point and shoot session with a guest using inexpensive point and shoot film cameras from the 80’s/90’s.😀
Excellent video as always Pierre!!👍
Yes great idea! I have an old D40 laying around :p
Very clear and crisp explanation🤘👍👍
I have been looking for a video like this for so long! I'm very new to photography and trying to learn my settings but it gets crazy for a beginner. Thank you so much for this video!
Your tips and vids are always great. And talking about shooting on any kind of weather, it's mandatory because that's how life is!!!!!!
Great tips from a hyper photog, just love his endless energy.
Cropping is fine I agree 100%. When I used to work in the black and white darkroom years ago for the press, a 35mm negative has spare space above when printing on a 10x8 print (inches vs mm ). Plus, when you enlarge the image to expose on the paper, you can zoom right in on it to crop out messy backgrounds, exactly as you say. The famous classic B/W street photographers enlarged/ cropped their print from the negative. If we were all lucky enough to see the original negatives and contact sheet we would see lots of cropping going on.
Make it look nice and clean in post….after all it is the digital age!! Thank for you video I really enjoyed your tips. Peace!
Minimum shutter speed! Awesome tip! I shoot with a lens without image stabilization. Thank you soooo much! I don't shoot aperture mode because of that and now I can! Great video. Thanks again for the awesome tip!
These tips are one point, especially agree with point 3. With street photography you are an observer of the world, and if you focus on seeing, you'll find the moments to capture:))
my tips for street photos would be that your gear and your settings don't matter , yes prime lens are better over zoom for the reason pierre explained in the video , but if you are a beginner or don't have a lot of gear and simply have a 18-55 or any other lens don't worry , just use what you get
personnaly there a lens i want for street photo and it's a 100mm but i can't afford it so i use my 70-210mm to make it happen , how ? i have an aps-c sensor , meaning that all of my lenses are 1.5x "bigger" than they really are a 70 will be transformed into a 100 and a 18-55 into a 27-70 or something around thoses lines ,
you can try to never zoom for example and act like you have a prime lens
for me gears is cool but it doesnt matter that much if you are not planning on going pro and even at that moment , you don't need insanely highly priced gear for your 2/3first years even more
a good camera don't cost a lot theses days and the most important anyway is the glass that you put on it , but again , your gear is a tool , you are the craftsman , if you don't understand your gear and how to use it even with the best gear in the world you are gonna stay garbage
for street photo if you don't want to feel weird or observed by others just pickup your smartphone , easier to carry and most smartphone can take amazing shots , most of them have a pro mode and most of them can shoot raw , you can also use your smartphone when you need wider angles , so if you are shooting with an 85mm which is in my opinion one of the best prime for street then just take out your phone instead of losing time changing lenses
also , street photography isnt about getting stranger pictures/portrait , it can be whatever you want , + as long as you don't take "portrait" behind their back you should be fine , pictures where people enter the frame are totally fine since it's a public place , as long as you don't take and publish portraits without permission
with street photo you can do so much so don't focus on portrait
some examples: architecture , street life , playing with shadows and light etc, if you lack of ideas or don't really know what you want to do go on Flickr and instagram and try to find some concept you want to try out , note them on your phone , take some screen if necessary and then go have some fun
a cool challenge could also be to create a series of photo with a concept , there is the concept of humans of new york for street portrait that i think is amazing go check it out on facebook , there are many great artist and street reporters out there so go and try to find some ideas of concept that you could either recreate with your own style or even create your own concept
and at the end , don't ever forget that about photography , HAVE FUN , you should never feel forced to take photos NEVER
Long read. But worth reading.
yeah kinda got carried away ahaha, could have said much more, re-reading it i realise that i also could have made it way shorter :') @@independencecreations
I love photography and am so glad to get to know some tricks and tips from you, you really doing great work
Thanks for theses videos, they are a real eye opener. I was bitten by the photography bug about Seven months ago and got my first serious camera...a Nikon D3500. After doing a short photography workshop now hate being anywhere without it. So I got myself a second hand Sony RX100 and it’s always with me, I love it. I would love to see a street photography video using something similar. Thanks again for the videos, they are a bit addictive.
This is the video I needed to watch! Thank you so much Pierre! Finally I have it more clear now! 🔥✨📸
Love the way you explain everything ! Thanks for all the tips.
could you do an episode for street photography lenses - which one has less distortion, which is more natural etc.
Hi Pierre. Thanks for sharing all these details and tips.
Hey Pierre,
I would like to see a challenge on a rainy night.
Great tips Pierre. Your personality really shines in all your videos. Hoping for more videos that show you talking through the process of taking an image 🙏
Thanks John!!
3:32 And being DISCREET
When you are there in the STREET
we can all AGREE
Bruh this dude spitting bars
Bruhhhhh 😂
Great vlog, you sold it to me at the end about cropping and doing your own thing. Great vibe to your video.
tip 6: hire a bodyguard and a lawyer.
That's fuckin true😂
@{Yasenia} Well, there is no law against taking photos of people in public places in Japan but Japanese people like to keep their privacy so, it will be better if you ask a permission before you shoot someone.
@@noxiousnova07 @Hot Toddy....only Japanese likes privacy? :) Everyone on earth does and the most friendliest place on earth to take photography is Thailand! They really are generous with it however that Isi not suggesting abusing the hospitality, followed by China.
@@dhaton2314 Thailand ... here i come!!
LOL YEA
I just realized this video is 3yrs old. All remains actual to me. Thank you for sharing experience! Best.
Thank you for the great advice! I would love to see a video on shooting in small spaces.
Hearing you describe the weather in the Midwest makes me giggle, having lived here my whole life
Thanks for the tips Pierre. TH-cam suggests your video to me and you’ve got one new fans from Hong Kong. I really love the style of your photos and video.
Very useful tipps! Love to go out in the evening with only a 35 mm f1.8. No need for a tripod and you still get fine images
Great vid Pierre! I learned a lot.
The tip about crop the pic opened my eyes. Thanks very much!!
Well done Pierre. I sincerly appreciate your street photo tips. Please send more photo "tips"! Great Job!
The best tips ever....thank you bro.
That last tip about you doing you is perfect. Thanks for the video.
excellent down to earth advice for any and every photographer, photography is a very subjective art form
Don't really like doing street photography although I do enjoy urban architecture. However, I found the video very useful. I think your advice is really good for all different types of photography.
Good info. I've switched from a DLSR to a Leica Q2 and love it for street photography.
Passion pour la photographie, la musique, la poésie et la créativité ❤️
Thank you so much Pierre T. Lambert. You have given very useful advice.
すごい勉強になりました。
素敵な写真撮りたいです！
Just the video I needed, subscribed thanks for sharing your tips and presets man, you have become my favorite youtuber.
Thanks Pierre...i was looking forward for that :)
Just getting started in photography and these are some awesome tips. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming👍👍👍👍👍
Always exciting watching your tutorial. Thanks
That why I love my weather sealed Pentax cameras
These tips are masterful. Thank you.
Thanks again for making this video great tips & advice on shooting streetphotography
What is the min shutter speed you recommend for street photography? I use the sigma 56mm on a sony a6100
Thanks for great tuts. With my shallow experience: without a fancy camera, without sunny day sunny place, mimimum shutter speed in Aperture mode fails too many times, the light is always not sufficient, shutter speed usually turns out way slower.
Without a fancy lens*?
I recommend this video to every Street Photography beginner. Awesome work Pierre!
Hey bro, I'd like to see how you tackle street photography of a night
Always enjoy ur vids. Have you ever done water reflections or window reflections. Any tips? Are polarized lens filters necessary?
I use a 35mm 1.8 a lot, it's an amazing lense!
I’m doing a level and chose street photog for my first assignment genre. This vid was so helpful and inspiring! Luv those shots too!
Also, I wondered if you could do a vid on street photog for genre, and perspective for theme, so perspective street photography if that makes sense? That’d be dope. Thnx
Love this!! Thanks for sharing ♡
New 10min challenge: vintage manual (max 150$) lens 35mm, brand of your choice adapted on your Sony. Photos in B/W
Thank you very much for the video Pierre!
Thanks for this!! ❤❤❤ more vlogs!
I like the way how you describe things and that you’re so real man😎
I do agree that cropping is a good way to make images even looking better.
Thank you so much for the minimum shutter tip! I never knew this.
Great advice thank you for sharing!😁
Hi Mr Lambert i would really love to see you shoot through some unique and creative objects like jordi koalitic style
if i had watched this a week ago, my first non-kit lens might have been a nifty fifty instead of my canon 55-250mm lol. But thats okay, I'm still super excited to use my new lens even if its not a prime! Going to go out and shoot tomorrow with my new lens!
I'm just too shy to do this and think about what people think. About me
Do it first with friends, it makes things easier
Go out with a group of friends
There was a photographer, he always took pictures from far away because he was to shy. But he did it his own way, and they where really nice. So if you really wanna to it, you will find your own way
Do it together with friends and if they don't like doing things like that, just use a zoom lens. You can easily photograph people from a distance without them noticing.
I’m in the same boat, I thought this would get me out of my shy shell. Break your comfort level once in a blue moon it’s good for you.
Merci bcp Pierre ^^
ca donne envie d'essayer =)!
Love this video mate. it sums up all the main aspects Thanks
Thanks for the great tips! A suggestion for a video...I'd love to know how you use zebras in exposing a shot?
Love your videos always! 👍👍💕
Yeah yeah ,awesome captures! and thanks for sharing info.
TH-cam played the preview and I just can't resist the smooth focusing and clicked in 😍
Thank you for your great tips....Love from India💙❤
It's fun trying to shoot stuff in different weather! Great advice! :D I even like taking pictures of flowers on cloudy days...something interesting about the colours! Also...I can't not crop my pictures...so many ways to compose them! Hmmm...Christmas pics would be awesome, like pictures of Christmas lights at night. :D
Great tips Pierre.
Another great video! I always learn so much from your tips and challenges. I’ve also really enjoyed your podcast. I’m just starting to shoot with the Sigma 85mm. I love my 50mm and 35mm prime.
Thank you!
You just earned a new subscriber 😊. Ever since I was a child I've always wanted to tell stories using photos but I didn't have the chance to do it. But just last year I developed anxiety and depression (until now) that's what pushed me to buy cameram I started wirh phone but now I'm happy bthat I have my own camera, thank for these tips.
Thanks for the tips man. Very useful!
I have a g85 and was wondering about the post focus setting. When would you use this setting? A great video and commentary. I live just north of Chicago in Quebec.
Du bist so ein positiver Mensch! Wow! Es macht Spaß deine Videos zu sehen :-)!
Wow, cool this really helped me Thank You❤❤
Thanks for your helpful tips 👌🏻
I just stumbled across this video. Magnificent advice. I love the way you think!
...first time watching...you're good,got your points... excellent man.
Yeah, i try using Shutter priority and apperture priority and it's verry helpfull even with old cheap prosumer (bridge) camera.
Great video! Thank you so much for the advice.
How do you get your pictures so sharp and crispy ?
I’ve been doing the tip number 3 without realizing it, because I have to observe everything around me first to capture it and show everyone my pov, my imagination💯
I love street photography. And I agree with you on cropping....get the shot, worry about tightening it up later.
