Great Tips and Video. Thanks so much for this.

Yup! Exactly! I just noticed I have been doing that intuitively and never thought about it 😂... Thank you all the useful advices!😉 These simplistic videos help me a lot as a beginner!

If someone asks "Did you take a photo of me?" and you did, don't reply "yes" or "no", instead pay them a compliment first and then mention the photo. Something like, "I saw you and immediately thought you have a great look, so I did take your photo" Then you might get "You should have asked first" to which you can reply, "When I've done that, people tend to pose and the photos are less natural looking. Would you like to see the pictures you're in, I can show you some of my other work too if you'd like? I'll delete the pictures of you if you don't like them." It's pretty hard for most people to remain angry and confrontational with someone who's complimenting them and telling them how awesome they are. Whatever you do, don't respond to their confrontation with escalation, chances are that they were just caught off guard or startled in some way and responding to that. In the end tho, If they're insistent, just delete their pics and go on about your day.

I think it's worth mentioning that you can easily take multiple images and stitch them if you have a static subject. You don't "need" a super wide, but it makes things more convenient.

it's giving 'how to be a terrible person with zero respect to their fellow kind 101'

Great advice!~MK

100%

There is a reason its legal to takes photos in public.. i personally couldnt care less if anyone wants me to delete a picture of them.. its simply not their right to demand that.. no one should expect privacy in a public space.

I just got into shooting street and this has been my main concern for years which held me back. My first couple sessions were with a 58mm and it didn't go so bad, I had been already doing some tips from the video. I got super lucky and found a mint copy of the Minolta RF Rokkor-X 250mm f5.6 for cheap when compared to ebay. Can't wait to try this "invisibility cloak" out!

Great video man!! Ty so much for these awesome tips!! I’ve been doing street photography for about a year now and I’m glad that I was already doing some of the tips you recommended on this video lol. I’m 100% going to put these to practice!!📸🙌🏼

Epic tip

I had a Nikkor 500mm reflex lens. Fun to use but it opened at f11...

So useful - thank you. I have been put off street photography but I'm going to give it a go with your advice and tips given.

Absolutely! I do the exact same thing. If you want to carry the charade on a little longer you can even take another shot (or pretend to frame a shot) of the same scene once you're almost perpendicular to them. This way they just thought they were in the way of your first shot.

Oh how I hate that bokeh 😅

Tip #4: totally do that all the time. Easy peasy. This was a great video. Thank you!

This is solid advice! I do the exact same thing of looking farther and walking past the person I took a picture of. Unfair and maybe even nasty, but that’s street photography.

Nice tips 👍

The advantages of a leaf shutter are worth the extra cost to me. Most people don’t know what a leaf shutter is that agree with you.

Use a smaller zoom lens

Agree…. Crazy people.

It always feels strange seeing your photos of Melbourne in your video. I have it in my head that you're American, but clearly from all the photos that's not true!

Great video.😀

Great video I want to start street photography but I was nervous and didn’t know where to start

I've begun deliberately attracting attention in the street and 99% of folk are up for it. Hardest part is getting the picture to them. There is a curiosity with what a camera can do and its sense of occasion that a phone shooter does not create. It boils down to a simple but very significant personal question you need to ask yourself. Are you Taking a picture - stealing the moment. Or are you Making a picture - your energy is sparking the action you then capture.

Rollieflex twin lens and box brownie cameras, the classic waist level shooter.

I truly appreciate your content. I just started street photography (Maybe a couple months?) and it has vastly made my life better. I use shooting from the hip and the thumb trick quite a bit. Only had one unfriendly conversation but I think they were just having a bad day and I happen to be who they took it out on.

Most people don't care? In Europe/Germany, that's different. Longer lenses make focusing more difficult, which isn't easy for beginners, especially with a crappy AF like Fujifilms AF.

Know your rights if police stop you for taking photos in public. Highly recommend memorizing outlines provided by the ACLU. I take a lot of architectural and urban landscape photos and sometimes get stopped by police for questioning. Also, if you live in the US and you’re on foot, know that some people can’t conceive of humans walking from point A to B. Some people assume you must be up to no good since you’re surely shifty and poor for walking anywhere.

Use the strap.

Learning magic tricks prepared me for street photography: misdirection, deception, and timing.

4:52 - I don't recommend doing that on streets. Sooner or later a true photographer would approach you and reprimand for hip-shooting. That'd be a real CONFRONTATION, offering to delete photos won't save you this time. 6:42 - I recommend wireless shutter in your pocket while the camera hangs freely from your neck. Then you'll just compose by rotation and bowing. By the way, some cameras even have dedicated wireless systems and smartphone apps with live preview. 9:49 - If a face is recognizable that might not be legal in some places. 11:30 - You're not obliged to respond. Just ignore them. Or say something like "back off now or I swear I'll shoot you from the hip" and grab onto that wireless shutter in your pocket

I shoot street often. I already do most of these.. Great tips

I'm looking to have my first camera (other than a cellphone camera lol) and I really enjoyed your video, Thank you. Since I live in Honolulu, Hawaii I believe this city is unique and perfect for street photography :)

It's funny, I never formally learned street photography but I find myself applying most of these tips naturally. Pressing the shutter with my thumb is new to me though, I'll be trying it out, thanks!

A couple of weeks ago, I found a neat composition with graffiti on a boxed-over power meter using my fisheye lens. I was headed back to work with that lens still on the body, and almost took a picture of an interesting lady on a mobility scooter, but held off because it would have been a bad shot. She confronted me, so I said: no, but do you want me to? I assume the scooter was stolen, because I didn’t know those scooters had that high a gear….

Great tips. One of the things that I do is that I pretend I am taking pictures of the surrounding areas before or after I take their photo and I never make eye contact with them. Basically pretending to be a tourist or there for a particular purpose. It puts them at ease.

In my local experience, the folks in my college town seem mostly receptive of my Fujifilm camera because it is black and silver like a "real camera." Image matters, I suppose. That, and I have learned to shoot from the hip, literally, when I am using a manual lens; no aiming, just guessing and sometimes being surprised by a good image.

Good tips. One more tip don't take pictures of kids (that are yours and you don't have permission). I saw a situation where this happened, and it went sideways quickly. There was an actual angry mom mob going after the guy. I make sure kids are excluded in my street work period. I use a 22mm/23mm (APSC) for my shooting and it works pretty well for me. I am considering 55/56mm but I am pretty hesitant since I like being closer to the subject.

The first point heavily depends on the country you're in. I.e. in Germany, people really don't like to be photographed by strangers and German law even forbids it. In Korea, there has been a shift towards people being very wary of photographing in public, and it's even completely forbidden to take photos in the subway, because there have been to many cases if creeps photographing girls without their consent.
