I very much like the concept of critiquing multiple images. It’s a much better technique for learning than just viewing some established photographers good images. Good questions by the interviewer to bring out other points, Well done. I would like to see more of this type of video. Thanks.
I knew Phil and Larry back in the old days. Something that is unappreciated by others was his use of cycling in order to cover a lot of ground in the city. Being able to visit numerous locations in a day creates a lot of opportunities to find good pictures. It looks like he's still cycling; he's still got the trim build showing through on zoom.
15:19... Completely disagree on all of what he said.. Why ruin the power of odds, well balanced . This photo tells a story, a dis interested stranger that guides you right to the main subjects via a built in diagonal , movement, an embrace, expressions and the framing is stellar. This guy is off his rocker with his advice.
I disagree with the shot of the couple nearly kissing in the subway. I think the composition was perfect and it wasn't necessary to have another person on the right to make it symmetrical, and that is not how street works, it's whatever is infront of you, the only thing u can control is the positioning of yourself and the camera, judgement will always be subjective though and that's okay, but that shot in particular i thought was really great and i feel like phil was possibly just making up things to give him a reason to critique it, since that's what his appearance was all about hey?
Yep. This video proves how cliche it has become (not a knock on the video itself). Go out. Shoot photos. Ignore these arbitrary rules people make up. Enjoy yourself and don’t compare your work to someone else’s 😏
The only shot worth seeing was the shot of the kids. I thought it was a "decisive moment" shot and it totally works for me. Very "Cartier Bresson". To critique the kids head on the right was unfair since the "moment" dictated the camera position. I would be proud to have captured that image. The last one was not good. Blown out sky and classic "tourist snapshot" composition leaves much to be desired.
Wow, I’m stopping this video halfway….this guy’s opinion means absolutely nothing to me….people need to shoot the photography that they like….opinions like these are absolute rubbish…..time to move on

Great! Ty for your time. I always learn a lot from critiques. I see the idea of layering in the silhouette of the person in the last shot. Very nice.
great session with one of the greats of contemporary street photography
Phil Penman is such a great photographer
This was amazing. Very very insightful.
Useful critique to listen to. Good learning. Thanks!
Can't see what he's talking about sometimes because he says "move this" or "crop that" and we can't see what he's pointing at.

Contemporary street photography is where art goes to die.

1000%
This guy ripping into work. Get off ya high horse. Just seen his work and it’s not like he’s brilliant himself
He's pretty fucking good and spent his time in the trenches. The stories he could tell you.
