![Street Photography Tips [Part One] : 9 Tips to Get Better at Street Photography](/img/n.gif)
Finally a TH-cam photography channel that actually discusses *photography*
Exactly! It's all gear on the other channels. This guy treats photography as fine art and inspires conversations around philosophy and methodology. Brilliant work.
I can highly recommend Dante Sisofo's channel in this regard.
Agreed.
The Photographic Eye also great channel
Thank you for always imparting the message that gear isn’t always everything when it comes to taking good (great) photographs that you love or are happy and proud of. You always communicate your messages so wonderfully. More power to you!
you always talk about subjects in a way that is unique, somehow personal and powerful.
This makes so much sense to me. It makes me rethink my way of shooting. You, Sean, are an inspiration to me
Brilliant! Your technique for street photography is exactly what I need. It makes so much sense to find a great space and then allow people to move through it. Totally inspiring❤️
Since a bought my point and shoot, my photography have changed a lot, the way I see things, my process from start to the end and mainly how I have been documenting my life, There are more series than single shots, I am really enjoying it. Thank you Sean, your videos always make we think more 🙌🏽
Oi Kaique. Blz? Qual point and shoot você comprou? Não sei se você está no Brasil, mas aqui os preços estão exorbitantes. Tenho uma canon t5 e queria mais portabilidade. Obrigado!
@@ThiagoFerreira-jn4td fala thiago! Moro no Brasil sim! Comprei nos Eua no inicio de 2020, uma fuji xf10, muito parecida com a ricoh gr2, tem muita qualidade, portabilidade, levo no pescoço pra pedalar, sempre comigo. Recentemente ela saiu de linha na BH, mas vale a procura!
@@kaiquelopess Valeu pela resposta. Vou tentar procurar algum modelo assim . Abraços
Its always such a treat to listen to you speak. Stay blessed Sean.
I love your work. I'm a fan since day one. You've been helping me to grow as a photographer with all those videos. Such an inspiration. All the best for you!
You're doing great with these videos Sean, they are really cool. The low key lighting, the choice of music and the well worded, thoughtful narration make for something really enjoyable
I’ve been waiting on this!!!! Just ordered my GRiii because of your GRii vid. Thank you so much for your work!
I’ve been following you for a while now and although I am not a very good photographer myself, I can still tell when someone’s work is really good. With photography like with anything else, you never stop learning. I enjoy watching you grow as an artist. It’s nice to know and see that someone out there is dealing with similar issues as I. I’ve got to say that your work has improved tremendously. I really like the images you show at the end of this video. Well done!
I appreciated all of your reflections on the GR III. I’ve had my GRIII for over a year now and everything you said rings true to my experience. It has changed the way I photograph and the simplicity of a small, fixed focal length camera that is always with me has made my photography more enjoyable.
The camera is fantastic
Best camera I’ve ever bought, when life threatens to takeover photography time, the Ricoh swoops in to save the day. The best one handed photography experience there is bar none.
I always love your content, Sean. Thank you for all the inspiration.
Hey Sean, I love listening to you, the details, your contents are so rich and well engaging, you make every minute worth it
I bought the GRiii to go with a minimalist setup. Best choice I ever made. Really transformed my street photography. The snap shooting is hands down the best for me. Thank you again For the great content 🙏🏻
You are way underrated. You deserve to be on top man. The way you make everything seem so simple, not even schools are able to do that.
Sean, listening to feels like therapy! More power to you.
Would love to see you around London, Sean. Keep up the good work and thank you for inspiring us.
Thank you Sean for giving back to photography
I finally came around and bought the GR IIIx. What an incredible little camera. Beside the beautiful image quality, the customization and the brilliant menu and controls make it a pleasure to use. I’ve owned about five different Canons, seven LUMIX cameras (which I still love, BTW) and used the Nikon D500 quite a lot. For street photography, even the LUMIX cameras don’t quite match up.
Huge thank you, Sean!
You continue to help and inspire me immensely to move forward in my photography. I cannot wait to receive your book in the mail.
Cheers from Phoenix, Arizona!
Sean. I really love your video's. Love your honesty and authenticity. Love your style. I always look forward to the next video.
I have the first version of this camera and I love it. I have nerve damage in my right arm and back so weight is a big concern and the GR has kept me shoot. Fits in my pocket and great image quality. Its became my main camera.
As always, a brilliant exposition, Sean. Succinct. Liked the quote from Saint-Exupéry.
I don't do street work, but a lot of what you talked about hit home for me in my pursuit of minimalist gear. Recently I picked up a Olympus E-pl9... Since I shoot with other M43 gear it was a natural fit for me. I easily grab the E-pl9 with a lens or two and off I go. Really enjoy your videos, this one just hit it right for me!
You just made me love my gr3 more bro! Thank you for the lovely pics!
More than a point and shoot, this camera is a beast and very utilitarian. This camera from the GR ii has taught me a lot how to shoot street especially zone shooting to the point now I can use any camera for the task. It's a great tool for cityscapes or even portraits especially when taking advantage of its leaf shutter.
Wonderful video! Very inspiring to watch! Also love the video with Samuel L Streetlife!
The production value and content in your videos are beyond compare. Enjoying it more Sean
I like your attitude to working the street. Makes sense, aligns with my thinking.
Gret Video, Sean! Thx for being so helpful and open with sharing your opinion. This is so valuable this days. Cheers
OMG I've been waiting for this for so long! I hate bringing big cameras around, but I never actually found a good point and shoot but I just feel this is the one. Everything you said is exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you so much!
Always enjoy your videos Sean, even when it may be a topic that doesn't apply to me...you always have such a way of explaining things that I always learn something in your messages. You have such a calming voice as well. A good reminder for me to keep my Canon G10 battery charged, that's normally with me when going to work.
What a great little camera Sean, oh, and your video of course. Thank you buddy
I'd previously seen the film you made with Samuel, you did a great job there, really worth people watching.
Awesome content and I love your photography, i'm inspired. Thank you!
Sean, super as always! Thank you so much!
The GR2 is the best piece of photography kit I've ever bought. (Influenced by your original video!) It is a great camera but you hit the nail on the head - there are no excuses for not having it with you even for short trips. It means I take more photos, of more scenes than I would before. Just love it.
Your explanation always lots of clarity. Thanking you
Thanks again for the inspiring video about photography. I saw the video of Samuel L Streetlife where you mention some names that are your source of inspiration. But I must honestly admit, my inspiration is you Sean. Thank you for all the inspiration and motivation. :-)
Sean, you give so many amazing tips! Loved those gorgeous images especially that image with no faces and that shadow in curves. Oh, love that one!
I’m a new follower of your work and your speaking and teaching style just clicks for me. I know everyone learns differently but thank you for being you.
What a good content Sean, as always! A thousand thanks for your contributions and knowledge, those same limitations in terms of the possible confrontation on the street is what makes me hesitate to take out the camera, I already had the decision to buy the GR3 now I make it more confident. Cheers from Costa Rica!!
Such a great video Sean, thank you. You're presenting massive confidence in this one which is great to see. Also, that shot from Samuel's video with the couple walking through the crescent-shaped light shaft was, indeed, a banger! PS. Strong lockdown hair game 😁 I was looking at the X100V as a potential new everyday carry but you've made some great points to support the Ricoh. Again, thanks.
Excellent advice for choosing a camera.
Oh My God your shooting style is a revelation to me! I'm also super averse to confrontation even and am a huge introvert even though ironically street photography is my favorite style
Great video Sean, looking forward to your follow up video. Many thanks 😊
Your videos are like crack to me, every time a new one comes up my whole demeanor changes! Nothing but love Mr.Tucker!
Could not agree more about the Ricoh , Have had one for about a year, it’s such fun to use and I am constantly amazed at how sharp the images it takes can be , definitely a really rewarding, fun “pairing knife camera” to own! As always your enthusiasm is inspiring...many thanks.
Waiting impatiently for the second part. I'm considering the Ricoh GRIII for my new camera.
Very inspiring - thanks Sean
I am obsessed with your content 😃 I can’t stop watching your videos 😅
I bought Ricoh GR3 in October last year and have never been happier with the camera! Started to shoot proper street photography thanks to it :)
Love the discussion. WIll definitely get into more Street photography. I am sold. Thank you
Hello. I have shot very beautiful photographs with point and shoot cameras before I couldn't see any problems with the images at all. I'm glad that people are creating shots with them. They are very important tools and very effective too. They fit everywhere too.
great video! i use a fuji xe3 with the xf27mm for everyday use and compactness is the key i believe to being inconspicuous on the streets
Great video! We love it
Another great insightful video. Can’t wait for part 2!
I love your style, I want to get good at street photography and you're an inspiration!
I remember your first video about the GRII. Love mine.
Powerful message Sean. Thank you.
Recently stumbled onto your channel in the past couple days. Your portrait videos have given me the confidence and inspiration to jump into portraits and try to set up my own home/portable studio. Been using your recommendations as I'm already a Godox user. Great channel mate 👍🏻 Subbed
I'm really grateful to hear these thoughts while enjoying your photography. I often get into ideas and want to hear from others but find opinions from those whos work I can't or don't identify with and to see your work and how you play with existing light etc was very enlightening no pun intended, to me as I just bought this camera and have been falling in love with it
OMG @seantucker 😮 I discovered your work recently, I’ve been just amazed by your approach and creative style!! Thank you for making this videos and sharing your style / experiences!!
Thanks Sean. Great video and shots. And yes, I will be ordering a Gr3 shortly! 😃
In constant awe of how well you know yourself and can use your introverted mind to work, create and learn! Thanks for introducing us extroverts to your skin!
You inspired me to start on TH-cam I appreciate you always. ✊🏻
The photographs you take with that pocket-size camera are truly impressive. A great video as always. Thank you.
Great video. I agree that less is better when it comes to photography. My go to camera is my trusty X70. The GRIII looks like a winner, too!
This is so motivated!! Thank you !
Thanks a lot for this. Super inspirational! :) I just got my first serious camera (a Fujifilm X-T4) today and it is a beast. However, I really enjoyed your take on street photography. So thank you!
Thanks Sean. Great video and motivation to get out there and just shoot!
Everytime you post a new video I get so excited and inspired!?!? 📷💖😁
I have a Lumix LX100 that I bought for similar reasons. I researched other options, including yours, but decided on the LX100 as it has an optical zoom (35mm equivalent of 24-75mm) and aperture control. And I like as well that those controls are external: the shutter speed is a dial on top, aperture is a click ring around the lens. And exposure compensation is also a dial on the top. Control ring (adjacent to aperture ring) can be configured to adjust ISO.
One nice little feature I've discovered - probably unintentional by the firmware developers - is the ability for it to take a shot as soon as it confirms focus by setting "Shutter AF and "Half Press Release" both to On. So this means I can set up a shot, move my focus point, and the camera will focus and take the shot all in one motion, which guarantees a sharp shot in most circumstances.
Great video as always . Love the photos
Swiss Army knife analogy was on point
Great video Sean! I agree with you 100%, the only way to grow as a photographer is taking more and more pictures, there's no way around it. As always, really inspiring content, I'll be looking forward to your editing video. Take care, greetings from Scotland!
I loved everything about this video!
Thanks for sharing Sean. Loved the process. Minimalist plus introvert is right up my alley.
I use my canon aps-c when I want that neutral look, my main big rig is also Canon. However, being “fuji curious” I adopted fuji OOC jpg look for a subjective look, finishing on an ipad/iphone. Shooting in NY, the tall buildings, long shadows, and resultant day long “blue hour” gives so much color in the shadows that Fuji’s subjective colors really add to the timelessness.
Can’t wait for part 2.
Great job as usual. Thanks Sean.
Wow, so awesome. You’re definitely my favorite photographer. Keep it up 👍
Very inspiring! Gonna try to use my GR3 more!
This was revelatory! Especially the bit about using manual exposure. Amazing, and I have started doing the same (a Sony RX100-iv in my case). Thank you!!!
Excellent video, thanks. A couple of years ago I sold off all my camera equipment, at 74 it was becoming increasing difficult to carry it all around, and invested in the new iPhone. Used it for a time but it just didn’t feel the same as a physical camera so I gradually lost interest. Then a few weeks ago I found a GRIII for sale in a charity shop and it has renewed my interest in photography once again. I’ve now become the “Happy snapper “ I once was.
Wow! How much die you pay for it?
You found a GR III in a charity shop? 🤔
@@pawel8365lol my exact sentiments..Maybe he meant a digital III? That would be more likely
@@hudson8074 Even those fetch decent amounts. Sometimes people get rid of their relative's stuff, for various reasons, so it's plausible, and the GR is quite a understated design. I bought a Canon AE-1 for 20$ in 2010, not that crazy, but I've seen people find Leica's for 15$ in thrift shops and so on. But the original story doesn't emphasise the luck in finding a GRIII.
@@pawel8365 It was in box of photographic odds and ends. I think possibly someone had cleared out equipment who didn’t know anything about modern photography. It was just the camera and had didn’t a battery or anything else. Bought an aftermarket battery and charger and it worked. After cleaning it up it looked pretty much like new except for some scratches to the bodywork.
As always, you're so clear, so good...
I started with a Pentax K-50 with the kit lenses and loved photography. The lenses grew to more expensive and specialized lenses, then I moved to a Pentax K-3ii. I started buying big heavy Sigma lenses and stopped bringing my camera with me so much. I then bought a Ricoh GR-ii and fell in love with it. I eventually sold all of my Pentax and GR-ii thinking that I would compromise with a Sony A6300+smaller lenses, and then I ran into the same issue of it being a hassle to bring with me, plus I never liked shooting with the Sony despite how technically good it is.
I sold my Sony and moved back to the GR series, this time with the GR-iii. I keep it with me everywhere and love shooting with it. It's my favorite camera of all time. I appreciate the love you also have of it, it is great to see you putting it to use and giving me inspiration.
Thanks so much Sean for all these great tips as a new photographer it's good to know these things. I probably be picking up a smaller camera as well
I use a wide angle adapter lens on my GR. Takes it to 21mm. Makes it useful for architecture.
I also don't bother with the autofocus. Hold the camera above your head pointing to your feet, set autofocus and then turn it off.
Set the aperture to f8, set auto-iso, shoot aperture priority and you'll have sharp images without having to wait for the autofocus to play catchup. I have the older GR of course, where AF could be dodgy.
I normally use my dslr. I recently acquired the Sony rx100 vii. You've inspired me to get out there and use it more often. Thank you for the work you put into your videos.
I love the look I get from my GRII, haven't quite made it to upgrading to the III - damn fine camera.
Sean keeps on inspiring me to actually figure out my camera and take great shots 📸 and then do it again and again!
Thanks for another terrific video, Sean. I've had this camera for a few months and consider it one of my best purchases. In an attempt to save for a house deposit I've sold off my drone, my iPad, my old game collection, and other bits and pieces, but there's no way I could sell the GR3. I'm not a photographer but as a tool to capture shots of my family, this thing is pretty much essential. I think of it in a similar way to my phone. I'd regret not always having it with me, but because it fits in my pocket, it's always there and ready to go. I've got a Google Home display on my office desk cycling through recent and past images, and it's obvious when the GR3 shots come on. They're noticeably crisper, punchier, and livelier than those taken on my Samsung phone; it's night and day. There are some great accessories to get for the GR3, particularly the NISI filter set for longer exposures: nisifilters.com.au/product/nisi-filter-system-for-ricoh-gr2-gr3-master-kit/, but the clear reasons this is the best camera money can buy are: it fits in your pocket, starts in an instant, and has exceptional image quality. The metaphor of this being like a specialty knife is apt. You need to know when buying this that it's only for photos, but since you will also have a phone with you that can take videos, it's fine for this to be a one-function tool. It handles that function so well! Thanks again and take care!
Man your work is amazing! Thks for sharing 👌🏻
I've been sucked into the pursuit of finding the best mirrorless camera in the last few years, and this video was an extremely refreshing reminder to use what I have. I shoot on a Panasonic ZS70 which is a small, yet mighty point and shoot and I look forward to shooting my neighborhood in NYC post-pandemic
Sean, thanks for your tip on shooting manually. Was able to apply it quite well to my RX100V. Although I keep looking at the GRIII longingly
I have only just discovered your channel. I have just bought this camera for all of the reasons that you state in this video. I've been looking for the perfect street camera, and I've tried lots of different cameras, and I was drawn to this camera for everything that some have expressed to be "imperfections." This camera forces you to "see" the shot in your mind WITH the knowledge of how it will frame, and without you looking at the screen. I am a fairly confident shooter and I don't mind taking the kinds of chances that a lot of photographers will tend to avoid, but this camera, with this high spec, is truly fantastic. A fair proportion of my shots are misses because of the way I use it, but the ones that are hits are shots that I probably would never have got with another camera (and being forced to use traditional techniques), so I do not see it as a negative. Quite the contrary, this camera has helped me to take my street photography to an entirely new level. By the way, I love your presentation.
Great advice, perspective and tips. Awesome video.
Always have a meaningful talk as always. My favorite mini camera is the Ricoh FF-1s, it's film but it's convenient :)
I just found your channel and I can only say thank you! Great content!
