Hello, I was recently in NY City. There I noticed the difference Doing street photography in a small town in Germany (160,000 people) or meeting in NY. Everyone in New York is so relaxed and no one gets upset about it. And in Germany, most people look strange or ask straight away whether they have just been photographed...so I love New York. Greetings from Germany...great video!

Great tips as always Pat. I particularly liked what you said about imperfect settings being okay if the story is there. I’m willing to bet that no-one has ever looked at a photo and thought “oh my god! Those settings are amazing!”. People notice the story in a photo above all else. If they’re noticing the settings first then either the settings are way off or the story isn’t engaging enough. Story first, always.

Another thing that will help (apologies if someone already mentioned this) is to use auto ISO. Same concept with wildlife photography as your subject is always moving and if you’re facing one direction you wanna be able to do a quick 180 to a new subject without having to worry about changing ISO since most of the time it’ll happen so quick we won’t be able to do it manually

You are a very 11:24 good teacher! It’s obvious you have a lot of knowledge which you present so clearly. I think street photography is my favorite genre, your images really motivated me to get back out there. I agree with what you said about spending time in a place, I think it was Minor White who said something to the effect of “I’m always mentally photographing everything I see as practice” I often like to just sit quietly and watch before I start shooting. It helps me notice the beauty in the environment, then when I pick up the camera I am very inspired and excited about what I see.

Really enjoyed this video and especially the strong logical and pragmatic bent that runs through all your tutorials. Something I struggle with is getting the balance between fast enough shutter speed and managing the iso on night street shots. Often I’m finding that I’m rarely below 800 iso and often at 1600 iso. I’ve learned that I can shoot 2-3 stops below the ‘optimum centre point’ on the light setting, but still would like to find out how best to get the higher iso settings at bay. (Shooting manual).

As always, actionable information that can easily be incorporated on my next venture out. In response to your question... I, like many of my fellow subscribers here have an issue with being comfortable with the uncertainty of the human element. The shot at 10:45 was amazingly captured, and the main reason why I'm responding. I would love to have the experience to confidently capture that shot with just some rando on the street. But soon as they see the camera, they'll either clam up, put on a show, or confront(stare). Which is okay but that initial moment has passed. I guess my question would be, how do you get your subjects/people to look natural?

I know this is going to sound odd but this is no different than any other skill & time is the key. The more you do it, the better you get at it & that includes being in uncomfortable situations & conflict resolution. I’m not suggesting that you go out & intentionally create conflict & confrontation but the more often you’re in those situations, the easier it becomes to diffuse them. Over time you start to learn what’s affective & what’s not & then you can adjust how you approach it that fits into your style & comfort zone. Whether that’s learning to be more discreet with your shooting or even learning how to project more confidence. The worst thing to do is to let it discourage you from trying.

Pretty solid video. I enjoy that some of your technical descriptions really strip out the esoteric and just be matter of fact. My only thought is that I would consider 'capturing the human condition' to be a bit narrow in scope for street. See EyeExplore's video on UnStreet photography. Given the impact humans have naturally and obviously had on urban environments, I'd argue it's not strictly necessary to even have a single human in a photo to classify as Street photography, depending on how comfortable you are with blurring the line between Street and Urban photography.

Great video Pat. My question would be do you ever approach people on the street for portrait? There seems to be a trend that street photographers are shooting more at the 85mm range and not the more “traditional” 28 to 50mm focal range, is this something you would agree with and do you prefer to shoot street at a longer focal range. As a shy photographer I find myself moving more to longer focal ranges for this type of work
@patkay2 жыл бұрын
i personally don’t enjoy that style, and am definitely more of a scene shooter than an up close one. i shoot a lot of street on 85 not because of the distance or approach, but because i like using f1.4 and shallow depth of field to make my images a little bit different!

If I may advise you a little with my humble self about video filming. You are recording material and I see a microphone in the foreground instead of you. You are the leader of the subject the microphone is just a tool. So in my opinion you should be in the foreground. Hide the microphone on top so the viewers can't see it. Of course sound is very important so set it up very well. Experiment with this and believe me your videos will look more interesting because you will be in the foreground, not the microphone. Remember also that there is such a thing as body language. It says a lot about a person. Gestures, facial expressions, gestures, emotions - this is how the viewer perceives the presenter... Good luck.
