I started my street photography thanks to your video. The only advantage using my smartphone to take pictures is it feels discreet. The big disadvantage of it is i get only 26mm equivalent lens to begin with, but i adapt. Lately i often snap a picture almost not looking to the screen which result in the photos being tilted or not perfectly straight up, but at least i get some interesting results. Again thank you for your vlog.
@@timjamiesonphotos Thank you for your appreciation towards cellphone photographer. There are some professional photographers who has a bit sour notes about taking photo with cell phone.
'Bystander' is excellent, although you do have to wade through a fair helping of Joel Meyerowitz's pretentious waffle. 'Street Photography Now' is also great. You should also try Abebooks if you're fine with secondhand copies.
Hey Tim, I am thinking of getting a fujifilm x-t30 or x-t2 ... which do you think its better for an amateur photographer? x-t30 might be the winner for price.
Hey man! I’m not much of a gear guy so my knowledge isn’t great to be completely honest! You can’t go wrong with either, though the xt2 is a little old now so would probably say xt30 :)
Thanks Tim, nice video again 👍👍 What about a style… i don’t know if i have one. But I like to use framing possibilities and if available reflections. Before I started street photography in January this year I wasn’t interested in architecture photography… I discovered it has a lot of possibilities combined with street photography. Unfortunately I like to photograph a lot… macro can be great! I love the silence of photographing (in) nature. Sometimes portrait is great to do too! And also sports as soccer of my son and team… And experimenting with night photography, light painting or (burning) steelwool, Milky Way, stars…. Hahaha…. To many possibilities 😂❤
As a newbie to street photography I'm experimenting with focal length using a zoom. Currently I use 2 lenses a 17-70 and a 70-300, I walk with the 17-70 first and then rewalk with the 70-300. I really like reflections and uncluttered scenes with the 17-70. With the 70-300 I can reach into spaces such as shop doorways and catch images that I feel standing in the door way itself would cause offence. Time I started posting some and getting some feedback.
Much to consider, clearly presented and illustrated, Tim. Follow key points and let style emerge and change organically. Emphasis on what we want our photos to say is cogent concept. Agree, we shouldn’t “obsess” about style, per se. So, will eating lots of pizza be detrimental to my photography??😊 Cheers!
Remortgage the house. LOL! I've been told that I have a style, I don't see it though. I just photograph what catches my eye. I recently discovered I've been doing a project; Windows. I didn't even know it. I'll have to see where that leads.
Haha, it ain’t cheap! But yeah that’s it, the less you think about it the more you develop a style I think, probably should have said that in the video ha

The subtle, nonchalant “remortgage your house” 😂

No that's a good thing! Photograph all the things that interest you and don't worry about style. be a photographer not a genre.

Sounds great! Welcome to the street photography club, it’s awesome 🙏🏻
Great video. Well worth watching twice (or more). 😊
Thank you! That’s very kind of you to say 😄

Thanks mate! No pizzas are perfect, need all the calories for those photo walks, at least that's what I tell myself haha

No mention of 24mm?
When shooting street I do about 50% with a 24mm and the other 50% with a 35mm
Yeah mate, I don’t use it so I don’t have any examples, just meant to be a brief run down not a comprehensive list of all focal lengths :)
👍😕👊
