Street photography is one of my very favourite genres. I love stealing little moments of life as it happens around me. But for many photographers it's one of the trickiest to get into. Street photography isn't that technical but it has certain psychological barriers like not wanting to be caught pointing your camera at a stranger.
To ease yourself into street photography I suggest you begin by shooting what I call street still life images. Little details out in a public place which say 'street' are fairly simple to capture and you won't feel awkward photographing them. Sometimes you can catch people in them by using a wide lens but to begin with - just concentrate on items rather than people. You can move onto them later as you gain confidence.
Before you begin get your camera set up for the kind of light (ISO) and white balance before you begin. I suggest using a semi auto mode like aperture priority (aperture value) because you'll need to move pretty quickly.
If you're not sure about aperture priority please come see us at www.photographycourses.biz/ape... so you're prepared and won't get flustered.

Thank you. Sorry for the omission. I use Nikon a D300 in these vids. Though you can use any camera, they're just photo- harvestors. The most important thing is to find a camera you like and find quick and easy to use. - Mike

No I use the same ones I use every day - though the 70-200 is a fast f2.8. We'll be making more Street photography films looking at using compacts, bridges and phones which are often better than a DSLR for this genre.

Mike. I watched all these street videos and wow. I took on board your tips of owning the right to be there. I’m shy but went to a local festival and pretended I was confident, spoke to the stall owners and asked to take photos and grabbed their Instagram account to tag them in. By speaking to them I was really able to get in close and work the shots rather than just snapping a couple of pics. Really great advice and it was nice to post best shots for them and get some likes in the process. They were really accomodating and I loved it. Would not of thought I had it in me to do this until I watched your vids and was given the guidance 🙏 love your work Mike

There's always confusion around this. Long Tele lenses are best for a shallow depth of field, compressing perspective and a narrow field of view. So if you want to take a street, wildlife, sports or macro photo with any of these characteristics then a Tele lens is the way to go. As for which one to buy - I'm sorry I'm not the best person to ask because I've never used any of the lenses you mention. Suggest you have a look at some forums and see what owners are saying about them. Hope this helps.

Hi - it isn't in the sense of capturing moments containing humour, irony, quirkiness or of the greats like Cartier Bresson. But if you're a beginner who's never photographed in a public place before and are nervous about doing it - how would you suggest a novice begin with the genre? - Mike

Hey Mike! love your videos so much! your loose and personable style makes you easy to understand and easy to learn from. I think I speak for all your fans and loyal subscribers (of which I am included :D) when I say that you are the best photography teacher on youtube and that many of us wouldn't want to learn from anyone else!!! Thank you so much for spending your personal time to teach us, people that you have never met, but people who love you and the way you teach. We want to express our gratitude towards you and your team for helping us to understand digital photography no one else could. P.S. Is that wide angle lens a sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC (HSM)? after your street photography videos, I started looking for a wide angle lens and stumbled across this one. I happened to notice it carries a resemblance to the one you always use. If it isn't, can you recommend a wide-angle lens that is around the same price range? I know you are probably very busy, so if you can't respond, I totally understand :) . Once again thank you so much for your devotion to your fans. Please, please continue making videos, you are amazing. Thank you so much, Andy. Mike Browne

As I revisit your videos again to gain more familiarity and appreciation for the process, there is so much more I'm gleaning from your thought process. For street photography, do you attempt to go full manual mode; or do tend to go with aperture priority mode (or possibly another semi-auto priority mode) for your street photography specifically? Thanks for all of your help.
@MikeBrowne
@MikeBrowne 5 жыл бұрын
It depends on where I'm shooting. If the light is consistent I'll set it manually because nothing's changing and exposure won't be affected by brighter or darker areas in the compositions. If light levels are constantly changing I'd probably use Aperture Priority or or P mode, keep an eye on the subject matter and use exposure compensation to adjust as needed... MIKE

Also, telephoto lenses are not necessarily good for street and certainly not needed for macro photography. A lot of people just use a fast 50 for street photography, and there are many ways to achieve the magnification required for macro, most of which don't involve telephoto lenses.

Great video Mike. I wonder if it's normal to feel a little embarrased when doing street photography? Here in Sweden I feel that a lot of people are really uncomfortable with this type of photography and that translates to me as well because I can sense that they are wondering what the hell I'm doing. Also would a 18-55 kitlens be alright on a crop body for starters?

If your going to spend that kind of money and get something that heavy, you should should get something faster, like a 70-200 f/2.8 and just get a teleconverter if you really need it. The image quality loss from the teleconverter will most likely put it at about the same image quality as those slower lenses anyway, and you'll have the option of having the fast glass when you need it.
