BE DIFFERENT! Street photography in Manchester with Gary Gough

4 жыл бұрынBE DIFFERENT! Street photography in Manchester with Gary Gough
Ok so i've been a keen street photographer for a while now! I do love to hit the streets and capture the character and charm of a city! However.. id noticed recently that a few of my images were similar to other images id taken in other vlogs.. Now i've nothing against having a style of image one likes to take, my worry is that my videos might be slightly predictable and repetitive if i don't offer a variety of different images in them! So in this video i met up with good friends Gary Gough and Dave pearce in Manchester with the aim of capturing a different style of street photography, of course with my trust Fujifilm X100F
Hope you enjoy :-)

Excellent video Gareth. It’s amazing what you can capture just wandering around, especially in an unfamiliar place. My favourite shot of yours was number 3 the guy sitting down having a fag. Mean and moody. David’s pictures are annoyingly great too but don’t tell him I said 😁😁 Explaining your shots at the end of the video will help others to understand your thought process too. That was a nice touch. Already looking forward to the next trip xx

Great vid Gareth. My fave pic was the charismatic guy (I think you said it was your fave too), he gave such a great look at the camera. You asked at the start if you'd missed any shots: I thought the Wanderers cafe on that corner was interesting, because there were people in there watching you. It might have been possible to get people walking through that shadow and include the cafe people too. I know that can be risky because you don't want to get too cluttered, but it might have worked. Cheers anyway, loving your photos.

My favourites were the guy at the table, glaring up at you, in Chinatown, the hipster with no face in peaked cap, and the old bloke and his shadow, crossing the street, it was partly his posture and face that just made it, I also very much like the guy with his shopping bags on the tram lines, the fact that his body was cut off, concentrating attention on the silhouette and the bags, I wouldn’t have thought to do that. You’ve given me a lot to think about, I love street photography, but I don’t take it that stage further, I concentrate on capturing the characters without giving as much thought to their interaction with the surroundings, I need to think about sorting my settings out, like you said, so I can give more thought to the composition , in the moment!

Like your work just wondering if you've ever done a shoot with just your phone? I say this as I use it for this kind of thing as I can literally just point and shoot without worrying about settings, focus etc. In my normal work I use pro kit but the freedom a phone gives you plus the advances in quality, (especially shooting raw), make them perfect for this.

I like the interplay of two shadows created in image: X10F6757, at time 19:36. The girl's head and shoulder create a white, negative space, ground shadow which matches the bulbous shape of the black shadow of the building. If cropped to the bottom right quadrant, with just her lower legs and trainers, the shadow contrast might work as an abstract.

Not so much a "missed" shot but would have been cool in #6 to capture both the man under the bus and then the guy leaned over in the background for more depth. Just an idea when I saw it :D Great vid!

The bus mechanic was the keeper for me, it has a story, I would have waited for some more with him, as for the rest, they do fall into the popular people in or out of shadows, having said that I like the old guy with the hunch back walking into the light.

As a street photographer the conditions and location was a perfect storm for you, and it showed in your outstanding pictures, I enjoyed the experience and was pleased with what I got, there again I used a zoom. I still feel a bit out of my comfort zone but love the thrill of the chase. My favourite of yours is the guy with the flare in it . Well done Gareth on the vlog and your results

Number 8 wins for me. You need to understand the difference between private private and and private public access land. Outside on private land which is designed to be used by the public, it's all fair game. Inside is a different matter. It's all down to absolute privacy, reasonable expectation of privacy and no expectation privacy in public. In the first, no photograph. In the second, no photography at an ATM or in shops, etc., but elsewhere where there are many other members of the public its fair game. In the third, all photography is legal. Being polite and courteous is a key aspect of public photography. And if a security guard harasses you, tell them that they are doing it, and then demand their SIA badge as they MUST identify themselves. And then immediately after ask them if they understand the concept of random checks. Two totally unrelated points, but the point is to make them connect up random check and SIA in their head - as if you are doing a random check on behalf of the SIA, even though you never said anything about it, it al being in their head.

Oh, and security guards are the worst trained people in the world in regards what is allowed and what isn't. Security guards think that having a fluorescent jacket means that they have all the power when in reality they have none.

I agree you don’t Photo kids without the parents consent. I would not have like that with my two when they were small and it’s the right choice even if it is an innocent encounter. As for that security guard I think he is legally wrong because as it a public space then technically it’s allowed. However with the mantra of doing good with my camera I would not worry and comply with his request.
@GarethDanks 4 жыл бұрын
thanks for watching mate.. its not a public space in this vid.. its private property, so he was right and we knew that. Watch my cardiff video when the security guard approaches up on public property.. thats a different matter! :-)

@@GarethDanks - to clarify - I agree that when they were walking towards you there was not a shot . I was thinking of 15 - maybe 25 seconds later - after they had gone past and their silhouetted shapes would have been walking away with the shadow coming towards you. Having said that they probably went straight in a shop

Oh right sorry not sure what the background was that way. Wouldn’t have taken it if it was cluttered which it’s most likely to have just been distant buildings. Thanks tho. I’m always missin shots. The video shows them up all the time 👍🏻😊

As a Mancunian, I’m disappointed you used Black and White for most of them. We’re famed for a city with a similar aesthetic to old New York, with strong orange bricks etc. I just feel the B&W, as much as I like to use it now and again, takes away from the great light etc.

Yeah didn’t mean to come across a tw@ lol. I’ve shot in the city so many times, and for me, B&W rarely works, unless it’s a miserable, rainy day here (not as often as people think 😊). Maybe it’s a good subject for a video. How colour can add/detract etc
