  • You NEED to try this!!! How to use layers - Street Photography in Istanbul (ft Eduardo Ortiz)
    Layering is a composition technique used in street photography to achieve depth and engagement in an image. But it's not easy to achieve!
    In this video, I talk with Laying and street photography expert Eduardo Ortiz, about his approach to street photography. In particular how he sees and composes a layered image. Also, the vital ingredients using the layering technique in street photography.
    This video was completely unplanned & I learned so much shooting with Eduardo in Istanbul! I hope you enjoy this very insightful interview! Definitely a video I'm very proud of.

    Look like many YT street guys is doing street photography right now in Istanbul, but they really don't know where to take images in that huge city. Eduardo is home there. He feels the vibe of the city, knows the light and most importantly he has the eyes and composition skills for street photography with people involved. Good to see you back Gareth!

      Istanbul can be very overwhelming at the beginning, there's so much going on everywhere that It is hard to focus on one section or portion of a place/scene. They will have thousands of good shots eventually, I believe. Nonetheless, most of the British photographers I have seen and met have a more aesthetic approach than me. They usually use the human element more as a punctuation or element to give the sense of scale. Different styles, I would say only.

    Worth playing a few times to catch the key points of how Eduardo captures layered street images.

      @j_a_lee 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@daveincork Fair enough. It's not mentioned, but I wonder if he ever considers leaving things in that are 'distracting'? It seems to me that if he's documenting anything specific then it's the mystery to the situations. There's obviously things going on, but the stories are unclear. I thought the red leg in one of the later shots enhances that sense of mystery with a certain oddness. But I appreciate that photographers tend to like things neat, geometric and closed off rather than, say, how artists often have an open and chancy approach.

    • @eortizfoto
      @eortizfoto 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ​@@j_a_lee hey there! I think that it really depends on your goal as photographer. In my case, I want to document life as "real" as possible, I don't do any heavy editing, changes colours heavily, nor remove people from scenes. For me, a good picture is done on camera. As I include many elements in my scenes, I feel that I have to make sure that my scenes are also easy to read (sort of organizing the chaos). So, If I include mystery in a shot. It has to deliberate and not by mistake.
