Get Better At Street Photography // 5 Tips

[@hassanraja]

One of my favourite tips is to make sure fear of confrontation doesn't prevent you from taking the shots you want to get! It's almost always better to click the button and deal with the consequences than miss out on the shot.

[@erenjam]

Totally agree bro! took me years to get over that one!

[@hassanraja]

@@erenjam I'm still getting over it myself, it's a constant reminder I have to give myself. 😅

[@crouch1521]

@@hassanraja At least its not just me that feels this way 😂

Inspiring and helpful! Some other tips that may be of use: (1) Give yourself a mini-project for the day. Eg today's theme is reflections (or alleyways, doorknobs, bridges, car details, forms in nature, night lights, orange, pictures in pictures, people walking dogs, raindrops, shoes, harbours, etc). (2) When walking around, think about getting three type of shots: overview shots, people shots and detail shots. When you get a mix of those three type of shots you will be able to tell a better story. Cheers

When you out there keep your eyes and mind open to any subject ........you could find more than street photography ....Abstract, Minimalism or Fine art photography .... like your content .....

So true, don't go out to take photos, just take photos when you go out.

[@iaincphotography6051]

So good to hear you mention the last tip and better still you're young enough to enjoy what you do. So many photographers spend a lifetime trying to please others and by doing that they have sold out.

[@erenjam]

Totally agree, the journey is the bit thats most important, if you don't enjoy the process, why do it

Another great and useful tips !That's probably because all are from the very experience of your own and you summarize them very cleverly. My personal tips in general is 1) Be confident with the tech aspects of your camera before shooting 2) if you don't get what you want from a place or event at that day or moment ;just change it ,don't insist unlogically ,go with the flow , follow and don't miss your new options .Maybe something else is calling for you.

[@erenjam]

Thank you! and those are a couple great tips too!

[@nezbulkanal]

@@erenjam Thank you!

[@stefankuhn6887]

One additional comment on tip 2: switch off all energy saving functions, buy a second battery. In my opinion tip #5 is the most important especially for hobby photographers.

[@Evil.Turkey]

But the main question is: 23mm F2 or 35mm f2? 😎 thx Eren

[@erenjam]

😂 23 f2

[@HBV1322]

[@mirror0flife]

shooting with a DSLR and I don't think it's the size that matters (feels like I am talking about sex but I am talking about street photography). I think in the end it all comes down to confidence. If I am confident enough I can do it with any camera I would say.

[@erenjam]

😂 , there's no hard and fast rules, I mean Brice Gilden walks up into peoples faces and pops off a flash. With smaller gear I find its both easier to shoot people and shoot in more places but yh, street photography can be done with any size camera

[@REMY.C.]

I had sooooo many problems and direct confrontations when I was shooting with DSLR and they were rather small but their sizes were enough so I get picked by over zealous security guards or people all around "stop taking photos - professional cameras nor allowed..." and so on, and fun fact is I was not even taking pictures at those moments. People see this kind of camera and just think paparazzi or some kind of sh*t. Can't tell you how many times I had to explain people they have 0 right stopping me with such verbal violence and hatred and if I call the cops, they're gonna end up cuffed, not me. Those people do not realize everybody has a camera in smartphones and everybody is able to take sneaky pictures in forbidden areas (which I respect and never do with any camera). I switched to Fuji, had many of them. I go out almost daily with both an xt4 on strap and my xpro3 in hand. Never got a single argument. Every time I get stopped by people is to hear this "wow you have beautiful cameras!" And they ask questions to know more about. Size doesn't matter but sometimes it does. Maybe DSLR size + my XXL size and appearance made me very noticeable. Small camera helps blending in. On the other hand, Mamiya 645 + waist level and people get the nostalgia effect and are pretty curious when seeing it.

Hey man, I'd love to know what your favourite photography books are!

[@erenjam]

episode on this coming soon!

[@patriciorodriguez3772]

Have you ever been confronted by someone in such a manner that made you feel bad at the moment? If so, has it affected the way you go out on a shooting or your photography somehow?

[@erenjam]

umm not really, had minor connotations, never changes how I shoot, but I don't really get up in peoples faces

[@patriciorodriguez3772]

@@erenjam awesome, thank you for circling back! And for all the content you are making!!!
