  • I can feel my street photography developing (pardon the pun) I've never really considered street photography with flash before, but having done a few street portraits of strangers over the last few months I thought id try it.

    Tho I'm no Bruce Gilden or Dougie Wallace.. I really did love this challenge. I love how many sub-genres of street photography there are.. you can literally set yourself a new project every month and never get bored or short of ideas!
    London is my street photography heaven, with so many areas to shoot, there are infinite locations to suit whatever type of image you want to create. I headed to Camden, not far from the city and full of interesting and charismatic people who I feel suit best to street portraits.
    I was looking for people who stood out, I didn't have to look far!!
    I hope you enjoy this video, my next street photography video is ready to post and improves on this idea massively, so subscribe to see that!
    Thanks for watching! :-)

    Mate can I just say thank you so much for giving us your near exact set up on this. Love these type of videos and am a fuji shooter but often at a loss about the specifics of how certain things were achieved. Helps so much in understand and learning process. Top bloke.

    Fair play mate, I'm gonna give street portraits a go soon, did a few the other day when I was out with the M-10 Monochrom but this is next level with the flash!

    That was awesome! No wonder you was glad with the results! I think that was the first for anybody using flash. Some of those people looked as if the came straight out of a clothing mag...well done I enjoyed that!

    Another great video Gareth, lots of good practical advice as usual, keep 'em coming. I just got my F8 mag today and had a quick thumb through it, excellent images again. Saving it to have a proper read later tonight.

    Hat off to ya for giving the flash a go while doing street, I've tried it myself in the past & yes it's a lot harder with flash than without. 👍

    Pretty cool stuff. Loved the punks, haven't seen that style here across the pond in a long time. I'm not quite sure I understood the reason you used an ND. Typically is to slow down SS. Maybe I missed something in your explanation, will go back and watch it again. Loved the images though. Great video....

    • @GarethDanks
      @GarethDanks  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for watching mate. It’s because the max shutter is 1/250 for flash sync. Too bright without an nd 😊

    I like to stay anonymous during street photography to much gear for me I've been asking other photographers to go to Camden Town to photography the famous punk you've do it great images of him the others to posed for my liking but fair play to you they obliged ✌

    Nice one Gareth
    I knew from the thumbnail that you must have been with Gary as I saw his vid and shots of those guys previously.
    Bit of a faff carrying around that flash n gopro. To be honest I've never liked Flash photography.... its very.... ummmm... stiff. Everybody posing.
    Just my take on it. I much prefer natural light and natural scenes.

    It’s not a good look in this case, it’s looks artificial. To cold try using an 82B gel FILTER over the flash head. To warm up the Flash a bit.
