Not stressing over things I think is the best advice. I’m coming back from long covid and relearning everything , which is frustrating. The journey is more important and enjoying the time
Also for analog street photography, this was helpful. Thanks!
The best advice I have ever heard for street photography, using the KISS principle.
Epic advise TK as always, I’ve never been inspired by photos of people’s faces but more how the person becomes a subject within the entire scene, love the input of multiple styles and genres of street photography.
Thanks for this video. I finally pulled the trigger and purchase my FujiFIlm xT30 ii last night, to start my journey on street photography. Super excited, I'll definitely take this tips along the way with me!
Neat video mate. I actually think the later points are more important and help promote a photographers growth more.
I'm finding I'm loving street.. it's a wild ride!
Cheers for the video mate!
Great video man! Very insightful.
I've been shooting abstract street photography for a couple decades and I really like the tip of not getting up into people's faces. When I started, I was told that was wrong because it is just not how to do it. I think it is great to see younger photographers telling people there is not a concrete, boxed in way of doing street photography.
Good advice! From the beginning of my street photography until now, I can say that I have had very similar experiences. Cheers!
Love it! Thank you so much 📸
Thank you. Most encouraging😊
Super useful tips, thanks a lot!
Thanks for this insightful and inspiring video. Myself I’m very new to street photography and am enjoying every moment like I am your videos. Thanks again and will look forward to your next upload.
Thanks so much for that, really do appreciate it and glad you enjoyed!
Thank you for good advise
I was really into landscape photography.. after a while learning photography and stumble upon street photography I quickly change my style to it. It is rewarding indeed but very time consuming and energy, at the end of the day on post production you'll have that "one" sick photo and felt great to achieve!
For me, for every 50 shots I’ll be lucky to get a good one, it’s really one in every 200 at least that I get a banger. I totally agree, it’s so rewarding.
Oh nice! I started with more landscape as well but was always drawn to street photography. I was just a bit hesitant getting started so if I can help anyone shoot a bit more, that’s the goal!
You’re both right, sometimes I’ll shoot a whole day and get nothing I absolutely love. Starting to enjoy those days too though, focusing on getting whatever I can or experiment a bit more on those days. It is rewarding when you get something you’re really happy with but even those days you can’t, I see them as good practice 🙏
Me too
@@QKvoxand learning to live with the fact that what we think are bangers aren’t necessarily so. I like to post weekly and sometimes what consider filler is more popular than my favorites
@@Brian-mp6bg yeah, same, lots of my favourite photos I’ve taken haven’t done that well on instagram but photos I think are good enough to post but not my favourite do really well
I've been shooting for decades. I think I use P mode 98% of the time and M mode the other 2%. 😂
I love a camera with a good auto mode, anything to get the machine operation aspect out of my way is fine by me.
Very good subject to talk about well your videos are getting better and better and i do appreciate that alot, I do agree with you about the gear because its always and has been always about the photographer not the gear and i do consider my self as an example, I do have a Sony A7 and A6700 but recently i bought a Canon 20D so i can enjoy the CCD sensor look, This made me a better photographer and it forced me to slow down so i can nail the shot in the right way, Street Photography can be done with any type of gear like an old DSLR with a cheap 50 mm its more than enough to enjoy SP, Thank you so much for this amazing video, At last since you are a Canon user i do recommend that you buy an old cheap DSLR because its a joy to use old technology....
Good tips! I see videos on other channels where they don't seem to know what to show or photograph😮After 11 years of photography as an amateur, I can say that it is impossible not to do a good job 🎉However, you need an eye for beauty and to trust yourself that it doesn't cost you anything 😅 One remark is that good photos do not always have to contain people and everyone should find their own style and what they consider interesting to photograph 😮My style is on details, reflection and abstract 🍻 Keep up with good work 💯🔥
The photos you took and showed in the video are incredible. Congratulations! You reached a very high level in your photography
Thank you so much for that! It certainly took some time. Always trying to improve and share this with others 😊
I do happen to have a Canon R8 and a 35mm Prime. I do need to get out more though and photograph my city. I mostly do cars and motorsport, so mixing it up with street photography sounds intriguing. Thanks for the tips!
Great video. Concise and informative. TY.
Thanks so much for that glad you enjoyed!
Thank you, just found you, subscribed, looking forward to your next
i thought my screen was dirty hahahahah good video love it
Such good points TK, need to edit my street photog from Japan 😅
Thanks so much bro! Hahah always much to edit!!
Great advice mate 👍🏼
Thank you dude 🙏
Hey man, i just love how you are and how you see document the world, i am new here. Thank you for this. I fell inlove with the Oppo find n3 video, thats the video that made me follow. Hey, if you arent using it, may i have it? it would be a dope camera, starting from scratch :D
These are great tips. I also use Av and manual iso.
Thanks so much!! It makes a lot of sense for something like street photography where the scene is constantly changing and your exact shutter speed often doesn’t matter that much! But setting a minimum shutter speed can be useful as well 🙏
@@TKNORTH definitely. I have my min shutter set to 1/125 on my r6 ii
Спасибо за советы, действительно очень полезны, и при этом просты!
One thing about the gear: find the smallest, lightest lens you can find that's still in that 28-50 range for street just because you want your camera always with you. Or just get a Fuji X100 of any variant.
Here's a tip that you already know but new shooters may not. A crop sensor camera is actually better in a lot of cases because of the depth of field you get compared to a full frame. Pair that with a wide angle lens and you have a setup that's hard not to get focus with. Why is this important or an advantage? You can shoot at wider apertures and still get a good depth of field. This will allow in more light in low light situations. Another advantage to having a wide depth of field is that you can set up a zone focus. Focus on something that's 2 meters away and just about anything that walks in front of you will be in focus. You can stop down to f/8 just to be sure. You don't even have to raise your camera up to your eye and focus on a subject. You can even turn the auto focus off. I started shortening my camera strap so my camera is higher on my chest. I just walk around with my finger on the shutter button and turn my body so the camera is pointed at what I'm wanting to take pictures. You can get a lower perspective that way.
Nice show and tips, thanks !
"Worry less about gear & settings"..... well, always have to hear which camera, which settings, which lens you have to use for street photography but finally there's someone, and that is you, says that it doesn't matter and I totally agree, it's the photographer behind the camera, right ?
Thanks so much! To me of course gear can help, but it definitely gets too much attention most of the time... End of the day it shouldn't matter that much 😊
This video encourage me a lot :)
and encourage me to use 50mm as well. Thanks.
It’s funny when I started I shot with 85mm then an 80-135mm with an SLR. Now I shoot 28mm fixed lens point and shoot. I use to be scared of shooting a subject so I thought larger focal lengths would help me but it just got boring. I realized shooting a scene of multiple subjects than just 1. People don’t care as much.
Just have fun.
Would you say that I should wait for a photo, a decisive moment or just walk around and shoot whatever you see?
Where do you get the sublte moving background at the beginning of the video?
🔥🔥💯
Good info! I think every "street photography tips" video should have this tip first, "Wear the absolute best shoes you can afford." If you are passionate about street, you have to take care of your feet.
whats the name of the background music you are using?
Is it okay to click photographs in a Mall?
Sometimes, you shoot a thousand pics and only like one. It can be discouraging, but it's part of learning.
confrontations happen all the time in street photography, most ppl dont like photos being taken of them
Pov me watching this before i go out for street photography
I disagree about settings... For me settings are key to capturing an image quickly, discreetly and in the moment. For my X100V, I find using manual/zone focus, an ISO range that covers the daylight, f8/f11 in aperture priority, quiet shutter.. All these things add up to taking a quick discreet shot.
Seems like you agree with what i was saying to some degree! As I definitely dont mean disregadd them all together. Sounds like you have a good range that works for you and dont get too caught up in overthinking things for that reason. Speed is often more important than exacts to me.
Excellent, common-sense advice, minus the all-too-common TH-cam blather.
Nice video but when I see such material I always think 'mostly people with professional cameras tell you that you don't need professional camera....'
As for studying others.. I would really like to promote quite the opposite. When starting, it might be intimidating when trying to be as the 'great ones' and also all photos are really similar. Take a look at FUJI users... 'HIGH contrast, Shadow and light'.. this is all the same what they are doing.. as if other photos cannot be made with Fuji cameras...:/
Thanks for the comment! Gear is a tricky one, of course it can help, it may even motivate you to get out and shoot more which is a good thing. But it's certainly not everything and it's far too easy for people to get fixated on. Having the best camera and lens setup money can buy, will not make anyone a good photographer on its own.
Studying others I can only speak for myself and it's something I wish I had started doing much sooner. Studying some of the great street photographers has really helped build my understanding and grow my perspective on street photography. Its very inspiring and rewarding to me and motivated me to improve. This again can show that the camera really isn't that important, seeing some of the incredible images that were shot on old, very basic film cameras still blows me away.
Don't think about all this stuff. Go out, take photos, develop your own style and genre, be happy.
Did you even watch the video? Everything he said aligns with what you said, perhaps with the exception of looking at other work.
You want us to listen to a nobody (you) instead of a TH-camr who clearly knows his stuff and has shown it?
