The body language part is so important. Look at ppl in the eyes, smile and keep the head up are definitely a big big help to overcome the fear of taking pics in front of people, and win their trust that you don't want to offend anyone and you're just making art.
I discover these two videos now and OH MY GOD, he's giving positive advice and not pointing error, dude i love you and your job, i learned a lot thank you so much
Just binged like 10 of your videos. You sir are making me excited about my first Fujifilm camera arriving tomorrow. Love the humility in your advice. Man, it's refreshing 💚
I've discovered your channel few days ago and as a beginner, I can't even say how much it helped me to go past many fears and issues I had about street photography Thanks a lot !
Faizal, awesome video, I just discovered the channel this year, and I love it, thanks for all the tips and dedication.for me, you are a reference in street photography
Great video Faizal, agree with all those points. Street photography is challenging but part of the excitment is going out not fully knowing what to expect!
Awesome video as always! I can attest to having a longer focal length at the beginning to get used to shooting. I was super shy about getting close to people, so I shot with an 18-135mm zoom lens for a long time until I got the hang of it, and then recently started shooting with an 85 and 24mm. Being able to zoom helped a lot.
Thank you for being so genuine true pure & honest. Your simplicity of things are exceptional. Thank you for being you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Take care man.
As a fellow street photographer myself. Even if i was in good posture, there will still be few sour apples who will step up and confront. Especially tell you specifically to delete the image without consent. and half the time people don't realize that they are in public domain. there are boundaries that will be crossed. just hope that new photographers are ready for what will come if not ready.
I just did my first street photo session today and I got one of the best photos I ever shot. I can't understand it, but I am eager to shoot more street photos from now on. Therefore its the perfect timing for me that you posted this video :)
Funny that you say that smiling makes you look less conspicuous. A street photographer from England said the exact opposite, that looking miserable/slightly grumpy makes you less conspicuous and being all happy and smiley on the street will make people notice you more. I guess the English don‘t like visible happy people all that much haha
One of my fears is everytime i go out alone. Its hard to find friends to go with but would love to find one eventually. The fear of being mugged is my problem.
Great advice, Faizal. The few times I've been out there was a good experience. Ocassionally, stopping and talking to people was a benifit of meeting them, whereas, otherwise it never would have happened without a purpose of being there in the first place. Thanks for your tips!!!
Speaking of answering honestly, I would always tell people that I’m taking photos for school. Even if it’s not the truth most of the time it helps lower people’s guard.
Planning for the shooting day Take visual note about the potential moment you want to take and take again Body language matter to the people you take photo Answer honestly when someone excuse Shoot with a friend to overcome nervousness
But do I do if some gangster is dissing my fly girl? Very helpful Tipps though. I always feel like I am doing something illegal when I am out and about with my a7ii
Just saw your video where you're taking photos at South Station in Boston. Would love to see the editing process for those night time city shots. I looked at your presets and didn't see one that super matched except maybe Cinematic 3. I personally want to expand into street photography for that but my editing needs some WORK haha
I'm about to purchase my first-ever camera, the Canon AE1, and you've given me tons of great pointers and things to follow when finally going out on my first day of photographing the streets of my home town. Liked and subbed! 🙏
I know photography. Low light if you have a 35 35mm lens prime I have that kind I select a shutter speed 1 35. Because if the focal length. I like noise in my photos. Street photography would be easy. I would use a fisheye lens for buildings to make the photo look wide round. I use the fish eye lens so good it the photo don't look distorted. I like landscape the most. All photography is settings and composition. I know how to get custom white balance with grey card. I like f stop or apature. F 2 is much bigger than f 7. I'm a professional nikon d3 photographer. I know the focusing like shutter pressed down focus or manually focus or continuous focusing or automatic focusing. I know. Single ficus point or 3d point.
How do I gain more confidence to shoot people? I do portraits and street photography sometimes when I'm out of my city but I'm so afraid even when seeing a good subject and frame to put my camera up and shoot.
I feel as though I have better success with people while I am with a female friend. Especially when it comes to asking people to allow me to take their picture.
I only temporarily stopped it. I felt like I wasn't offering the enough quality content on there for the supporters so I'm back to the drawing board. I still want to bring it back though!
@@FaizalWestcott dude ive been watching your videos and im inspired by you alot! I bought my sony a7iii with a 24-70 g master lens. Trying to get it going and make some art with these pictures while also making some money on the side but im all over the place right now haha Any tips? and bring it back man ill support it
If you shoot digital I don't know why you wouldn't just take photos of anything and everything you find interesting. I'm only selective when using film
The aftermath is way too many photos to sort through. I know because I have way too many photos to sort through! Lol I'm trying to be more discerning at the time to cut down on work later. 🙃
Respectfully, in public u can take pics of whoever u want and if someone has a problem with it then they can cry to whoever they want about it not me, cops will tell u it's perfectly legal, ur not gonna sit there and take pics of one person or follow them but u can't be a soft a** dude caving in to Karen's seriously I'll take a pic of anything and anyone as long as it's not disrespectful and no kids no matter what, that's where ur asking for trouble as I wouldn't let anyone sit there taking pics of my kids. I seen a few of ur videos and u always talk about sitting there and explaining to them, respectfully I aint doing that for anyone. with exception of someone who has kids with them then I would give them the courtesy of letting them know and even delete if they're kids where in a shot because it's about protecting our kids, anyone else wear a face mask it's a free country and I'm not gonna cater to every pansy.. . but that's just me, to each their own. lol
What? Hard to listen to? You are one of the few I guess. One of the channels I stumbled upon lately because of picking up photography again with my X100V. Don’t change. Your videos are high quality and your voice in combination with the background music is such soothing. Much wow.
It's funny...this way of speaking reminds me of another ,totally unrelated, channel I watch about psychology. I like it. I can't stand the over the top in your face channels. GO INTROVERTS! lol

Street photography is by far my favorite type of photography!! 📸
Why
Just binged like 10 of your videos. You sir are making me excited about my first Fujifilm camera arriving tomorrow.
Love the humility in your advice. Man, it's refreshing 💚

Great video Faizal!
You are a true inspiration for me to go out and and have fun in the streets 👌👍🔝📸
That stray hair reminds me of the light meter in my Pentax K1000 😆

The thing is, don't over think it. Just go out and have, FUN. Great video btw.

Hi man, just wanted to say loved both parts of these videos. Some great tips, and liked how you merged in your examples/examples from others
Thanks Faizal for this video and for the tips you offer. I think they´re spot on.
I just started and I use a 56mm on apsc. So far so good. I feel more comfortable taking shots than with something wider. Thanks for the tips.
I just did my first street photo session today and I got one of the best photos I ever shot. I can't understand it, but I am eager to shoot more street photos from now on. Therefore its the perfect timing for me that you posted this video :)
You are the best, continue doing all this stuff, this videos and your channel helps a lot of people even in South America (I'm from Ecuador) 🙌🙌

One of my fears is everytime i go out alone. Its hard to find friends to go with but would love to find one eventually. The fear of being mugged is my problem.
Where do you shoot?
Great advice, Faizal. The few times I've been out there was a good experience. Ocassionally, stopping and talking to people was a benifit of meeting them, whereas, otherwise it never would have happened without a purpose of being there in the first place. Thanks for your tips!!!
That's why I like my 18-200 sigma. Great for up close macro and good at getting a nice tight or wide image while roaming the streets.
body language is good tip. but smiling is certainly harder when wearing a mask. I go with a head nod now lol
Speaking of answering honestly, I would always tell people that I’m taking photos for school. Even if it’s not the truth most of the time it helps lower people’s guard.
Thank you for the tips. I just started doing Gopro chest street photography videos and I'm never going to stop now.

Take visual note about the potential moment you want to take and take again
Body language matter to the people you take photo

Just in time for me to sit down and crack on with work with videos in the background.
But do I do if some gangster is dissing my fly girl?
Very helpful Tipps though. I always feel like I am doing something illegal when I am out and about with my a7ii

Awesome tips. Side note, you look and sound like Tobey Maguire. I bet you give out some cool Peter Parker vibes when you’re out shooting.

Thank you mate those advices are really very useful!!!
Good job man, as usual.
love your videos... Keep up the great work!
I love ur channel so much and you videos should be longer!!!
Awesome video as usual! Gonna see if I can find a good deal on the hardcover copy of the magnum contact sheet book.

Could you show us an example of a visual note of yours, and a photograph you took inspired by that visual note?
Great trips brother 👍🏽 keep it up !
Great video. Any BOS people up for a quick afternoon meet up / shoot?
Great Video.
How do I gain more confidence to shoot people? I do portraits and street photography sometimes when I'm out of my city but I'm so afraid even when seeing a good subject and frame to put my camera up and shoot.
I actually ordered a 70-200 f2.8 zoom lens for street photography. I hope it helps.
Rae Jacob expensive but I have used it on the rare occasion, normally at festivals, carnivals
Great video!
HEAT, subscribed.
Great content!
learn something!!❤️❤️
Your going Hard good work
İngilizce bilmediğim için sizi anlamıyorum. Ama yine de izliyorum 😅
PLUS your phone has GPS to retrace your steps
Also try to shoot wider, 15-20 mm give very interesting results :)
SHARE couple camera settings/ setup.
I feel as though I have better success with people while I am with a female friend. Especially when it comes to asking people to allow me to take their picture.
Make more!!!
This was really helpful, just stating my journey. Thank you 😊
why did you stop using patreon? would you recommend it to somone starting in photography?
I only temporarily stopped it. I felt like I wasn't offering the enough quality content on there for the supporters so I'm back to the drawing board. I still want to bring it back though!

try all of this series again with an affordable camera or set up a go fund me for my new $4000 dollar camera you review on this channel
I use google maps to find a nice location

I really enjoy your videos but man your voice is hard to listen to. You always speak in such a quiet and kind of lifeless manner
Maybe you're just so used to all the over the top/faked enthusiasm that plagues this platform. You don't have to watch my vids if you don't want to.
