- Learn how to adapt your street photography. Ft Don Stevie Street (Fujifilm x100v)
CHECK OUT MY DIGITAL ZINE: bit.ly/3Ilk1wc
In this video, i head down to London to meet up with a very inspiring street photographer. Stephen Churcher (@donstevie_street) is one of my favourite street photographers in the UK.
Steven is one of the most versatile and adaptive street photographers i know. Having multiple skills while being on the streets enables him to always capture the best shot from the conditions given.
I hope you enjoy the vlog!
Ga :-)

The "googlie' eyes on his flash unit is a nice touch, and might lighten the mood of someone who has just been photographed unexpectedly. Good interview Gareth.
I am an introvert. I am also invisible.
I am an introvert until I put a camera into my hands. I don’t feel people on the street see me unless I put the camera to my face and then still may remain invisible. At that point I am in control. I see the the image and am in control. I select the image. I select the frame. I select when the shutter is tripped. This is the only time in my life I feel this powerful.

Love this one Gareth. I’ve not got the stones to upset people but the results from those who do are incredible.
And that coat rocks.
I like these pov interviews he's a man with personality and opinion that's not afraid to share them very refreshing. Two shots you took i thought if i took that id wrap up for the day and go home happy. The diagonal of that vintage pink car, plus banger was the reflection in the barber shop window. Quality.
Ah cheers mate. Thanks for the feedback. He’s a cracking chap. Hope to shoot with him again soon. Very talented. Thanks for the comment. Wish I’d waited longer by the car for the light to return
@@GarethDanks I'm going back there on a bright day and see if i can top it lol. All the best G
Great interesting video thanks Gareth. His style is too intrusive for me but very educational to watch as always.
Great video mate! Love the barber shop shot!
Cracking image at the end through the barber shop Ga! Just ordered your zine and I look forward to flicking through it
Almost Bruce gilden-esque in his approach and the results speak for themselves. great insight into an extrovert mind! top video Gareth
What a wonderfull photographer. His confidence and way of working is briljant.
cool video mate and donstevie what a guy... thanks for the content..
I do like this interview format. Very enjoyable watch
Spectacular video. Fascinating interview and great scenery at the same time. THANK YOU!
Another great video Gareth. You nailed him about his coat. ha ha. Got to see your comedian side in this video, that I always sensed was there.
Taking pictures of the homeless is not always off limit. I’ve been confronted by many homeless people asking me why I’ve left them out when taking pictures. Two homeless people stopped me in Covent Garden and near Trafalgar Sq and asked me if they were not worthy of being photographed too. Every photographer will gather their own experiences.
Gareth thanks for this video brilliant love Stevie’s mindset and coat. Great shot you took with old hairdresser and the fella in the flasher mac reflected in mirror 😎📷👍🏼
Loved the image through the window with the double reflection. Great spot.
You certainly pull that out of the bag, different and great!!
Thanks so much! appreciate that
Have to say... London I don't experience concern over shooting people in the street, but have a heightened level in other cities who are less used to cameras and tourism. London is far easier for street photography
Watching this is time well spent. Even though I don't take street photographs the way you produce your videos makes them enjoyable to all. :-)
When you order Paulie B from Wish 😂😂 Only kidding,enjoyed that and the concept is great 👍
Stevie has a unique style, very dynamic and quick thinking, he is obviously quite intelligent in the aspect of coining his style and improving on it. His mind doesn't stand still for a second. What a fantastic artist he is..✊️
This is nothing new Bruce Gilden has been doing it for years.
Really enjoyed this and what a talented photographer. Really great style and something different...
Great vid and good waking interview Gareth, enjoyed the laughs.
I enjoyed that, especially the green camera!!!
That's a bit too close quarters for my liking. I don't like my own space invading, so I'd find it excruciating to do what Stevie does. But hats off to the guy. He's a true artist. Great video, Gareth. I always come away with something after watching your films.
I find getting that close to be disrespectful of the subject. Is it art to show such contempt for the subject? I don't think so.
Really enjoyed this one Gareth, but I don't have the confidence to be in peoples face like that, I am the exact opposite I have only tried street twice and I usually give it a go on a sunday morning when it is quiet, I a planning to go downtown this weekend we will see if I can pull off some good shots, thanks for sharing and the inspiration.
Interesting vlog, you call him extrovert, I think many would say arrogant. The guy in the hazmat suit clearly didn’t want his photo taken, so why did he do it? Your barbershop image is wonderful 👌
He did it because he's clearly got a screw loose.
Love your videos, i really enjoy ♥️
Yes, I did enjoy your video and it opened my eyes to the fact that I could never do street photography because I haven't got the bottle ! I can understand some people objecting to your mate's system of sticking a camera into their space/face (I prefer to be in the countryside - away from people !!!!!) ....There are several reasons why:- they are perhaps not meant to be there (for whatever reason !) They could be on the run - from authorities, spouse etc; Or simply that they want privacy. ?
Fantastic video. Thank you.
Love Don Stevie's work. Leica is great for street work. Those blurry shots are so unique to Stevie.
Enjoyed that. Will give him a follow on IG. Liked your shot through the barbers shop window with the reflection. Cracker!!
Great stuff Gareth, most striking thing to me was how empty the streets were, I worked around there for most of the 80s it looks deserted now by comparison.
Very interesting.Thanks for sharing👍
Perhaps a bit judgy on the depth of field debate, there are no F8 police... Loved the barber shop photo though. I like these run and gun interview as you shoot videos. More please.
Cheers mate. Thanks for the comment. Which bit were you referring to with the f8 comment? Lost me
@@GarethDanks nothing major, just that there seem to be a number of street photographers who dismiss any street photography that isn't shot up close and at f8 or above. Art and style are subjective, sometimes it feels like there is some zoom and shallow DOF snobbery among the established togs. But I love your work and videos.
Rear curtain flash photography can be fun. It certainly fills up your scene.
paulie b ,walkie talkie style vibes, enjoyable watch. Can't get to his insta, user unknow, must be blocked 😂
Gareth. Different pespective. I would have been tempted to get in front of the people in easter ears and get a front on shot. Great video.
Another great vlog.
Hey cheer mate hope your doing well 👍🏻😊
@@GarethDanks Hi Gareth, I am doing great mate
Good to hear. Hope to make it to Malta one day still. The mrs is keen to go 😂
@@GarethDanks Looking forward to have you here and finally meet in person 😀
Excellent vlog and great images from both of youn😊
Thanks so much 😊 glad you enjoyed it Mark
@@GarethDanks always mate 😊
This was great, Gareth! Really interesting insight here!
Thanks so much for watching. Appreciate the feedback mate
@@GarethDanks You got it!
Absolutely fantastic vid Gareth.His humour is hilarious.G”You can make the same mistake for ten year”D”But then your not very clever and that’s life”😂😂😂😂I remember when you went live and talked about that polariser😂😂.
(Sorry to put slight downer maybe it’s me,A lot of adverts on this vid mate.sorry thought you should know)Very funny
Did you ask him where he got his coat from?
Oh pants really I’ll look now and comment properly later.
lovely work
Had a guy playing a sax give me some grief the other day telling me I needed his permission. politely told him I didn't need his permission, he still wasn't happy but there you go.
Not sure this guy is an extrovert . He operates outside of generally accepted comfort zones but that is a learned behaviour like the performer on a stage . You can be outgoing yet still be introverted . It is not important in the context of this video except that viewers may allow their personality type to be the reason not to do something when in reality it is just an excuse .
How funny you should make a video about introverts. I walked past you in the Northern Quarter in Manchester a month or so ago. I did that double take when you see someone you know and you’re about to stop and say hi but then realise you don’t actually know them and you suddenly look away. The introverts curse.
I was even out with the express intention of trialling your 2 step focusing for near and far on my Fuji after a video you had done a while back!
You should have a weekly programme on BBC4. How about "Watching Photographers with Gareth Danks"? Same format, different photographers and locations each week. What do you think?
It's a cultural thing. You've got to have an incredibly PASSIVE culture to allow this style. I imagine Stevie makes it incredibly difficult for any street photographer who comes along behind him. If he came to most places in the U.S., outside New York City, he wouldn't last long. Most Americans in public would find him incredibly creepy and suspect. There's nothing artistic about frightening random strangers.
Was that an M10r reporter Steve was using?
Photo at 20mins is great.
I wish he had a mic on!
well if the guy already looks shady the camera becomes invisible! jk, Stevie is great and I really like that he's the opposite of a one trick pony
What flash unit is that, please? Thanks.
What flash unit Isl that? Thanks
I don't think using flash from 2 feet, in the face of passing strangers is a very clever way of getting a shot.
Think about that for one second.
Not okay, really.
Do you ever worry about someone having epilepsy or migraine and the consequences it might have? I’m happy with jumping in front of people taking a photo but firing a flash in a strangers face doesn’t sit comfortably with me.
pretty sure he hasn't killed anyone taking a photo of them.
A white old man caring for others well being, common...
Excellent point, I think flash from speeding cameras should be banned as drivers could have a seizure and crash their vehicle. The govt are very irresponsible only interested in making money from fines.
@@sexysilversurfer true enough. I was terrified on the Nemesis at Alton Park when they took the photo.
Photosensitive epilepsy is actually not hugely common and tends to be triggered by flashing or flickering at a certain rate, it is also more common in children and young people so it’s highly unlikely him taking one photograph is going to cause an issue if it’s not a multiple flash. Single or double flashes are unlikely to pose a risk.
Like a better-natured Bruce Gilden.
Streets are not their home. We can take a photos of homeless people, and they don't have a rights to privacy once they "live" in public space.
Tall black guy, not just a tall guy..
offended by literally everything? Gwardian reader by any chance?
Are you a The Sun reader by any chance?
Hope you didn't give him a complex about his £3k coat
Must be a dentist 😊
@7:19 A bit concerned about something that never existed --- a bit sad really
Not all white man, but always a white man. This style of photography is so awful, as Valerie Jardin says, if it makes people uncomfortable, you should not do it.
