- Hip shooting is an essential technique for street photography. It allows you to have the option of being very discreet and leaving your subjects undisturbed. In this video I break down methods to help you improve your hip shooting and explain when and why I use it. Enjoy!

If Austin Powers was a street photographer
Yeah baby!
😂😂😂
I was thinking more Jeremy Clarkson! 😂
in 2 videos, Alan has become my favourite Street Photographer on youtube
the humour is just fantastic, and how informative you are when explaining is just impeccable! man you deserve ASAP that 100k plaque from YT!!
Thank you 🤠🙏🏼
100% agreed. Fantastic!
Best camera channel. No generic lo-fi hip hop, no hyper edits, no beards, beanies, or tattoos…. Just great tips on getting great photos from a pro. AMEN!
What’s wrong with beards ?😂 otherwise I agree with everything else
Because, as we all know, if you decide on a style and outfit this random guy doesn't like, then your photography videos cannot be good. Not condescending shittalk at all.
@@Nitidus wrong. It’s not that the video can’t be good, it’s that there are so many unoriginal, similar, mid level photo channels where the content looks the same, the music the same, etc. it’s unoriginal. This is refreshing in not only the content taught but the aesthetic and style as well.
@@Monochromatic77you’re so silly acting like beards, beanies, and tattoos is a negative or overused stereotype🤣 that’s like if I were to say “wow thank god finally a channel where someone isn’t wearing a shirt and pants. Finally a AUTHENTIC naked human!”
@@fanpandatasticread above more carefully
The number one thing we needed was for Alan to begin video content. These are fantastic! Probably the only thing I want to watch now. No need for tutorials, camera accessory reviews. Just good wholesome cowboy creativity. Get out there and shoot!
These videos are great. It really shows the fun side of Alan you'll never find in TH-cam before this channel existed.
Before, you'll only see the "serious" Alan. The strict and wise professor kind of thing. But in these videos, he's able to share his wisdom while being goofy and, I presume, just being himself.
By far the best photography channel out there, the details, quick to the point, well put together and easy to learn, really helped take my photography to the next level. Big fan of your work, glad you have decided to do this channel to help others!
There was one and a half minute of a western shootout at the start of this video.
I would not call that quick to the point, but it was pretty funny I have to admit.
Its great but only in b&w removes half of what photography is about!
No doubt the classic Leica lenses Alan referred to are excellent. Myself, I have a more affordable Ricoh GR iii which has the Full Press Snap feature. FPS allows you to set a distance (e.g., 1.5 meters) then by shooting in aperture priority, you can be sure of a certain focal length being in focus. You give the shutter a "full press" all the way down, not half way, and the capture happens instantly, with the focal length according to the distance you set for FPS. It's convenient and reliable, and would work very well with shooting from the hip!
Thanks Alan, I'm enjoying your TH-cam series.
I don’t think I ever watch a vid that is this informative AND fun at the same time ever !!!
I can’t thank you enough for taking this to the next level ! 🙏
As a regular hip shooter with an M10M I found this very entertaining, impressive and informative.Your hit rate at 1.4 is awesome.
For me, the hard part of shooting from the hip is not the focusing (I use zone focusing a lot anyway), it's usually the composition that is messed up. Heads are chopped off and all that. Well, the only thing that really helps is practicing, I suppose... Great video as always!
You need a
24 or 28mm lens
Two features I love when doing street photography are a tilty screen. I like to shoot from a low angle sometimes without bending down. I’m 71 and find getting down is easier than getting up. The other feature I love is a touchscreen. Alan zone focuses. I auto focus. He has books published and a TH-cam channel. I don’t. Consider that. I set my touchscreen to autofocus and then shoot. It helps not having to touch the shutter button.
Thank you Alan for your lessons. A big fan.

Photography basics strictly and consistently applied + practice and training, you make it look so simple. Very encouraging for sure. Then I love the tone and contrast of your photos, makes everything and everyone look truly special. Amazing work, excellent. Thank you so much for sharing all this!
The BEST intro to a video I've watched since....well, ever I believe. Always a treat to watch your videos, Alan.
Alan these videos of yours are the best photography videos I have ever seen. There is a lot of practical information based on real photography and not hypothetical situations. I love it. It is not easy to plan and realize these videos, so thank you very much for your efforts. And thank god for british humor!
Loved it as usual! Teaching with humour; what can be better! Thanks Alan!!
The best video about zone focusing have ever seen so far! Thank you Alan for sharing your knowledge🙏
I love it. Talent + Humor. How refreshing it is. Well done. Extremely well done. Thank you.
Great, as always! Worth pointing out that this can easily be achieved with modern lenses on different camera systems (even without the markings on the lenses). For example, on my Fuji XT-5, you can view the focus zone on the digital display at the bottom of the screen. The skill, as you expertly demonstrated, is in judging the actual distance between your lens and the subject.
I'm thoroughly enjoying these videos - I hope you are able to keep them going. Entertaining, informative, and with a good splash of irreverence. Inspirational for sure.
Loved this. I went out today with my M10R and my 24mm lux set at f2, 1/125 or 1/250s, 1.5m and manual ISO or auto ISO depending on light conditions. I only did hip-type shots. Firstly I learned that the hip was probably too low for me. The compositions were a bit off using the silver lens rim guide. I’m 1.90m so started shooting about lower chest height. Better. Hit rate on focus wasn’t great - maybe 25% so I need a lot of practice but the static shots were a lot more successful than when I was walking. The hit rate there was probably 75%. Maybe a higher shutter speed needed too. I think this illustrates how skilled people are who can zone focus consistently well. Anyway a great fun morning and I’m sure I’ll get better over time. Thanks for a great video.
The joy is real!!! Thanks Alan, unique and brilliant!!
Man, I’m so happy you created a TH-cam channel. Admired your work for years. I just hope you take the time to engage with the community your building here as I know how meaningful it would be to all your early subscribers and fans.
I love these videos! A perfect blend of real technique and hilarity. Bravo and keep em coming!
Once again another fantastic and fun video with loads of useful information, already looking forward to the next one Alan. 👍🏼
how beautiful are these videos Alan!! Thank you for putting these out and I wish I could watch one everyday 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Dear Alan, a big, big massive „THANKS!“ for your videos! You‘re a rare species of youtubers: you actually TEACH.
I really appreciate that. And, of course, your videos are FUN. Thank you. What you are doing, is really cool.
I've been using zone for years on the street and just love it.. Thanks Alan...
Your videos are such a breath of fresh air Alan, enjoyable to watch and very informative. I've been primarily a macro photographer for the last few years but have been attracted to street photography for a while now. I went to Whitstable oyster festival last Saturday, some interesting subjects to photgraph, had my Sony nex c3 with a fujian 35mm cctv lens, I have to have it on f16 to have everything in focus, I was practicing hip shooting, some shots were sharp, some were soft, I definitely need to work on my technique and your tip about looking at the mount to tell if you are straight is something I will put in to practice. Keep up the good work, looking forward to your next video 😁
Delighted you have started a TH-cam channel Alan, breath of fresh air, great content
Thanks for this. The humor is what sets you apart from the rest here. Not to mention the photography of course. It's so obvious you are still a musician at heart. That humor is 100% musician if you ask me. Any musician can tell :) Cheers
The fact you were on the verge of giggling through the whole intro cracked me up real good
Haha this was a funny one to film
Love this, been following your street photography for a long while and can’t believe I only just discovered you had a TH-cam channel!
1.4 is impressive even on a 24mm lens. I will try f2 on my 28 with a focus distance of 2m and see how it goes.
Best photographer and an even better teacher.
I never ever ever thought you would be this funny. And colorful.
I found my new fav photo channel and tutorials from a true master. Bravo!
Dude your videos are amazing. They are so helpful. With your help I will become a better all around photographer. Please keep doing what you are doing!
This is bloody brilliant! Love you Alan!
Greatest photography channel on TH-cam.
I did not expect you to have such a great sense of humour. its got me hooked. love it.
In no time this became easily one of my top 3 favorite youtube channels. Cracks me up everytime plus is so damn informative
Absolute brilliant channel! Humoristic and with all the technical info that you need.
I‘m one of those new followers really enjoying your content. The German word for it is „Leichtigkeit“. Love it so thank you for sharing ❤
These are great videos, very refreshing and interesting to watch. So happy you have decided to make these . Please keep them coming 🙏🙏
so refreshingly made and edited. nice work Alan
Thank you so much Alan for giving us all this great advices.you’r a great photographer and a very good teacher too, clear and simple with a finest sens of humour. Thanks again ! (Sorry for my english)
Brilliant as always. Loved this episode.
You are a total breath of fresh air on TH-cam! Fantastic content 🤠
I truly appreciate this channel both for the content and the positive energy that Alan Schaller is able to bring.
It would be fantastic as londoner and beginner phographer is to see him around while I'm shoting myself in central London.
You made my day mate! love this video! True, I do all the trick you talked about here.
Loved this. Well done. The silver ring trick😊
Thanks man. I appreciate the effort you put into your video to make it more fun. I found it really educative listening on how you approach shooting from the hips. Take care
Absolutely LOVE your videos Alan... thank-you!!!!
I bumped up into this channel by chance and I love your content. Thank you for your amazing tips🤗 keep up the exceptional work!
This has quickly become my favo street photography channel. Absolutely briljant photographer and i honestly had no clue you were also such a funny guy. Keep it up!
Was really looking forward to your next video! Awesome 😁👌
Fantastic yet again Alan!
My favorite photographer doing videos on how he does it… couldn’t ask for more
I like how you don't take this all to seriously. Thanks for posting.
I'll give my cheat code. I cradle mine. I'm a right-hand shooter, so it goes something like this: I cross my arms where my right hand with camera is nestled on my left arm near my elbow. This also helps with stability and aiming. It looks more like I am pausing from shooting when in fact I am very likely composing, aiming, and shooting. On those rare occasions someone asks if I'm taking their picture, I can honestly say "um, I can't even see my viewfinder to see you". Half truth but it eases most. The one advantage of digital (yes, I'm in *that* camp) is shooting in silent mode which is finally silent with the latest models. Can't always use that mode of course, but if not, the cradling does mitigate some of the shutter noise.
And practice is essential for higher rates of keepers.
The tip on seeing the screw or flange is great! Thanks. Cant wait to try it on my M7.
Absolute golden content on your channel Alan.......thank you so much for this nugget.
Glad you are enjoying it
Love your light hearted comedic approach
Informative and entertaining - a great combination! Thanks Alan
I love you Alan your attitude and humour is inspiring.
Totally agree on your approach of a photograph is doing nobody any harm and I stand by that thought process myself ❤
I'm 1:11 inand this is the stupidest thing ever! I absolutely LOVE IT! I am inspired and subscribing. Thanks so much for being so ridiculously corny in your impressive creativity. you made my day. Best dad jokes personified ever!
Enjoyed this video, Alan. Quite entertaining & informative as well. Love your sense of humor.😊
Brilliant. Your best yet Alan. Nice work. Simon
Absolutely the best!
You can use back button focus with a auto focus lens as it locks the focus on whatever object distance you set your focus too. Then just use the same techniques you talk about in your video. One down side is you don’t know the depth of field but an app like photo pills can get you that information really quick.
I"ve never laughed so hard during a photography video. Your Texas accent was excellent (I live in New Mexico), and, surprise surprise, I learned a lot too.
I probably push the shutterbutton more often with my thumb than my index - so i fully approve the hip shots 😂
How I wish you'd the channel setup few years back and I can binge watch all the videos now :) . Great work.
Absolutely love the video, no doubt my master of street photography. I find hip shooting an amazing idea. Thank you, also for a great sense of humour.
Getting some old Digital Rev TV vibes. Here for it!
this is brilliant Alan, love the video style, content is great, really good fun to watch
Most excited Ive ever been for a new youtube channel lets GOOOOOOO!!!

Valuable information.. good entertainment.. really appreciate the sharing! Love your work and channel! Cant wait to get my copy of your book on tuesday!!!
This was the most entertaining yet educational video I've seen in I don't know how long. I love this style. Please, keep them coming. (There are already 325 comments. Chances are very good that several other people have already said this exact same thing. But whatever. Boomshanka!)
Jesus, you're so sweet! The story with the bottle is incredibly charming. Thanks, really didn't have a good day, I feel better now!
This is great! So informative 👍 can’t wait to see more
Your Work is absolutely fantastic and inspiring. Please keep doing those Videos! Tomorrow i go out an try manual Hip Shoot 🙂
You deserve your own TV program. Very funny and informative content.

And your editor is killing it. Well done.
Pleased to have found this channel, I've been using a Ricoh GR3 for the last 4 years, lovely camera, and just bought a Leica Q3. After watching this video today I used manual focus for the first time and got some great results. Thank you, keep posting.
great information in a fun form factor, loving your videos!
Loving these videos.
Loved it!! Made my day
Love this Alan!
Brilliant as ever, both in the advice and entertainment value.
Excellent video, informative, but more importantly, entertaining. Please keep the humour levels up.

Very stylish video! Thank you Alan!
Really enjoying the videos Alan. Entertaining as well as informative.
