This video is a good example that good street photographs are mostly a matter of repetition, practice, practice and more practice. You got some great shots with negative space and high contrast.

To get level shots, look for invisible ’T’s, such as where a door transom or the top of a door meets its upright. Windows offer the same T reference. Any building upright pillar will also do.

Nice point of view! Thank you for this experience! I am still battling with my self if I should buy this camera as my EDC and to partner with my Lumix S5 Kit. I used to own a Fujifilm X100S but the size of that series is huge and the hype did not help with the 2nd hand pricing. One thing that just bothers me is that lens of the GR series, have seen a lot of bad experience like dust, stuck cover etc...lack of EVF does not bothers me.

It doesn't look like your previously mentioned favorite Yawakai 160 (?), as these seem to have more punch, contrast to them. Am I right or just making things up? :) Or were these just raws with presets added later on during editing?

I am struggling with my GRiiiX. It won’t focus. Have snap plus touch screen focus without success. I’ve reset to original factory settings and no luck. Made sure macro focus is not activated. I’ll figure it out. Until then, I can’t use the camera. Glad Ricoh made the iiiX. I don’t like the 28mm field of view. It is too wide for me. I have to get too close to my subjects for my comfort. Also have to crop the images. This is a personal preference. Also missing an EVF. I compose with the view finder. Also missing a tilting screen. I am not a one handed photographer yet. I do love the small size. Mask on Nurse Marty(Ret)

@adriensanguinetti 4 ай бұрын

Thanks! yes I wish I also had the GRIIIX sometimes but now I can't really justify it since I have my Fuji and other options on my Sony to get a tighter look. But If I had nothing and not doing youtube I would maybe have only the 2 GRs. For family shots I would definitely suggest to get the normal GR, especially if you shoot a lot indoor. For streets you can figure out with any of the GRs, it really depends on how you shoot street

@hellerphant7534 4 ай бұрын

@@adriensanguinetti thanks for the reply! I also shoot a Fuji, and I usually live with the XF 23 or 35mm lenses. That makes me lean towards the iiix for the times I can't bring my Fuji and lenses. But as you said the 28mm would be good indoors and I'm about to have a kid so that's a big consideration. I think I'm scared of the 28mm for street, I have never composed well in that focal length haha.

@whothennow24 4 ай бұрын

Why does 50mm look better in overcast than 28mm? It’s the same lens, same aperture, it’s just cropped. Shooting in 28 and then cropping in LR would be the same thing, but how would that make the light better??

@professionalpotato4764 4 ай бұрын

When you frame with LCD showing the 50mm and the mindset of a 50mm, the photo will look different vs a 28mm shot that you stare at the desk and go "Hmmm, let's try cropping to see if it works". It's the intention behind the framing.

@whothennow24 4 ай бұрын

@@professionalpotato4764Yeah, but what does that have to do with overcast light?

@professionalpotato4764 4 ай бұрын

@@whothennow24 Yeah it doesn't make the light better. I kinda missed the question in my earlier reply. I guess it makes it easier to frame interesting subjects without the use of dramatic lighting. Especially if there isn't enough interesting subjects around. Layering with a 28mm in boring lighting becomes hard. I find street photography a bit like a puzzle game. Find the subjects, lighting, elements and arrange them nicely. When lighting is missing, all you have is subject and elements. In reducing the frame size or focusing solely on an interesting subject with some supportive elements (i.e. 50mm), it makes the frame work out better than a wide empty frame with an interesting subject but without anything else to support it due to the relationship of the size of subject vs space around it.

@-grey 4 ай бұрын

I don't think you do. James Popsys is more of a landscape photographer, but when he does street, he finds great minimal compositions that imply humanity which he refers to as "human/nature". It's an interesting approach coming from a perspective of someone who shoots scenes more than subjects. ✌️

@adriensanguinetti 4 ай бұрын

It is absolutely not necessary to have a human somewhere in the frame to make a good photo. I call them subject sometimes but the subject is more the urban scene itself and the human is here to add some presence into it but it is not the main subject

No. They need lighting, composition, layers, and story. Humans help, as do animals but they're not necessary.

@richardnugent7035 4 ай бұрын

A couple of opinions: First, including people (not just silhouettes) makes it easier to tell a story or make an image emotionally impactful. This is particularly true when facial expressions (and, to a lesser extent, gesture and body position) are clearly evident. Secondly, photographing people in the street takes a whole different skill set than snapping architectural details, signs, vehicles, everyday items and such. It takes courage, quick reflexes and constant vigilance to anticipate scenes before they develop. The photographer must also have a keen understanding of composition because there is no time to ponder whether a better image might result from moving two paces to the left or from a lower angle. Things move fast when you are dealing with people on the move in a street environment. Adrien’s images are certainly well done, but they are of a different genre than “classical” street photography that informs us about the human condition or strikes an emotional accord with a viewer. Both are valid approaches to “street photography”.
