    I shoot fashion/beauty for a living, but my personal projects are mostly street portraits. Two tips: don’t use an ‘intimidating’ camera. Smaller cameras are less confrontational and cameras like a Fuji X-Pro or Leica M can even spark a conversation. My other tip: carry a stack of business cards with your email or instagram. Invite people to decide later on whether they’d like a copy of the photo(s) by leaving your contact details, instead of you asking theirs.

    I love the last excercise about collecting "no". I have recently found your channel and I think it's gold. Thanks for uploading this type of content.

    After a couple years I've gotten a little bored with street photography and started what I like call surfing street photography. I park and walk down miles of our Florida coastline looking for interesting subjects completely different than what you find on the streets.

      That's great! Probably eventually you will have a very cool body of work where maybe you can mix things up that can be very interesting! Thanks for watching!

    This is the first video I have watched from "The Raw Society", what a wonderful calm and engaging tone you have. Street photography holds many fears for me but I am determined to progress. Now back to your videos...Thank you.

    Thank you for uploading a great video! I haven't tried yet to take portraits in the street, but I exactly can say that my photography works have been developed since I started to "ask" a stranger to take a picture in the street. Love your thoughts and advice always! Stay safe!

    portrait work adds depth to a concept, they show a different side to a place, and the people will have their own unique story that can be seen in the eyes or their look overall.

    Is it within the boundaries of the law to share a photograph of a stranger, particularly without obtaining their consent? - for example just a snapshot of a random person in the street. Thank you.

  • @terencemorrissey4413
    @terencemorrissey4413 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Jorge, what do you think of using a drone shot for the establishing shot?

    • @The_Raw_Society
      @The_Raw_Society  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That's a great question Terence, I would say that sometimes is great, when there is something truly special about the ground but if it's not the case it also can look a little bit gimmicky, so it depends. Also there are some places where one can not fly a drone so I would say that in general its better not to depend on it, make sense?

    If I take a portrait of a stranger and I want to use it for an exhibition or photobook, do I need a model release?

    • @The_Raw_Society
      @The_Raw_Society  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Depends on the country but in general, the quick answer would be you don't, for two reasons: on one hand a portrait carries consent because usually you start the portrait by asking for it so it's already a collaboration with the agreement of the subject and in the other hand ( again depends in the country) usually if the publications is not comercial, meaning you are not selling it to a brand or something like that it falls into the category of either journalistic or artistic publication, specially if the portrait was made in a public space.
      If you are not making fun of anyone, generally speaking I would not worry to much but it never hurts to do a quick search about the law in where you are.
