A Day of Street Photography With Jonathan Jasberg

[@jonathanjasberg]

Great times meeting and shooting together in Uzbekistan, Eduardo! Thanks for the great video and fun interview. Cheers buddy.

[@dda.visuals]

Thank you! Thank you both for this wonderful moment!I absolutely loved the interview.

[@kalistratov_photos]

1. The "unobvious protagonist" it the most valuable piece of advice in photography I've heard in a while. 2. You presented Jonathan Jasperg as good as Tim Jamieson presented you. Brilliant work! So much attention to detail like the emotions people have when Jonathan interacts with them, and overall context in Uzbekistan.

[@eortizfoto]

I’m so glad you think so bud. I had some problems with missing audio and footage being too shaky. Did my best, but I wish I had more material to make the video longer.

[@kalistratov_photos]

@@eortizfotostill 14 minutes of pure joy here. I think it may be a good reason to make part 2 some day Johnathan's and your paths will cross again.

[@eortizfoto]

@ I already talked with him about that idea ✌️

[@MomentsByBrian]

This was fantastic. I haven't heard of Jonathan before this interview. His photography is sublime.

[@eortizfoto]

His work is outstanding! Right?

[@apontutul]

0:32 what a beautiful shot of rain, Indian monsoon. Thanks for sharing

[@stuartshook3614]

Such a wonderful video! I watch a lot of KZbin content about photographers and photography, and this video is one of the best I’ve seen in a very long time. Jonathan‘s work is amazing and I will carry his wisdom with me on my photography journey. Thank you to you both.

[@eortizfoto]

Wow! Thanks a million for such a wholesome comment!

[@Neuropsychologue]

Thanks Eduardo for this presentation of Jonathan Jasber. Two things impressing: his ability to not only do layering but also focus a significant moment. His second skill abvious here is the way he interacts with people!

[@stevevavra]

Great video Eduardo, thank you for introducing me to Jonathan's work, it's incredible, so is yours btw. I am learning so much from your videos. So inspiring.

[@eortizfoto]

Glad you enjoy it! Jonathan’s work is on his own league tho.

[@McFunson]

Invaluable content here allowing us to listen in on two masters of their craft discussing their process. Thank you very much for creating these types of videos and please dont stop!

[@eortizfoto]

So nice of you! I tried to make Jonathan the center of attention. That’s why I speak very little in this video. He’s a master of his craft!

[@77cats-2]

The kind of video that makes one restless and feeling the need to rush outside with a camera. A little after watching this, KZbin recommended the video Jonathan did for B&H, and I believe it's really thanks to your video Eduardo. The both of you are a great source of inspiration and knowledge.

[@mattheard5704]

Incredible work - please keep this series going. So much insight in 15 minutes.

[@eortizfoto]

Thanks, will do my best!

Agreed. This interview was especially insightful!

[@syedjaffar310]

dude.. you need to create more videos. you're the best

[@cris-eq2fe]

You’ve become one of my favorite photographers Eduardo, happy to see another post from you!

[@eortizfoto]

Wow, thanks! But this video is about Jonathan, not me. 🙏

Really amazing video and that's it, what streetphotography is about. Great portraits of a great photograph. Cheers Florian

[@isa.miranda.9]

Great video, loved the advice of keeping it simple. Also the establishing shots of the architecture are beautiful!

[@eortizfoto]

Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed those establishing shots. Luckily I did them despite I was sick lol

[@johnstarkey4959]

Fantastic story telling , excellent insight to how Jonathan goes about his passion. Excellent advice at the end too .

Me too! I was so lucky to get to know him

[@urosbogovic]

Love seeing the collaboration of two of my favorite photographers. Great insight into the work of the master. Thanks for the video, Eduardo!

[@eortizfoto]

Glad you enjoyed it bro!! And thanks for all the support!!!

[@KennixThe]

Gestalt psychology - the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Didn’t realize this can be applied to street photography. Valuable lesson right there. Stunning photos. Great video. Hope to see more like this. Thanks!

[@eortizfoto]

Well said! There are many other gestalt concepts that can be applied to photography. I often refer to figure to ground relationship. Check that out too

[@KK-no7be]

Love the colours he gets.

[@eortizfoto]

He sees in colour masterfully

[@dans5529]

Wow, I love this guy's photographic style and philosophy!

[@MohammadKanch]

Thank you so much for documenting this!

[@eortizfoto]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching

[@HolyDude02]

That was a great conversation between two people who have "it" down. Love this. Thanks a bunch!

[@eortizfoto]

Glad you enjoyed it! Maybe Jonathan yes! I consider myself but an apprentice.

[@Bikes-n-Stuff]

Thanks again - this time for the intro to another photographer I can now follow too.

[@eortizfoto]

More to come! Hopefully

[@BelaAcs-m6r]

Thank you Eduardo for introducing another excellent photographer.

Nice video Edu. Easy, simple chat and ideas shared. Keep up the great work. There is a videographer + director in you. Documentary style was good.

[@eortizfoto]

Thanks for that! I actually enjoy making videos. But I’m just lazy haha and rather spend time shooting photos instead.

[@TeamHoff1]

Really enjoyed this video thank you so much for making this. Jonathan managed to express what is in my head about street photography and couldn't.

[@tomazfotografias5084]

Amazing work. Thanks for sharing.

Eduardo, this was fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. What were some things you learned in spending some time with Jonathan? Thanks again for your videos, I've learned so much from them.

Eduarfddo tecomento que voy a comprar uno de tus cursos porque has sido mi inspiracion este ultimo año y necesito conocerte. Como historiador del arte te felicito por lo que haces, porque pocos de tu nivel muestran sus ¨armas¨. este canal es una joya atemporal para aquellos que hacemos fotos, un espacio de paz y de arte. te felicito pior tu trabajo y sobre todo te doy las gracias por inspirarme en este bello arte. de verdad, gracias de corazón. soy una persona humilde sin muchos recursos, pero este 2025, si o si, nos veremos en uno de tus cursos. saludos.

[@eortizfoto]

Ohh muchísimas gracias por tan bello comentario. Ojalá se den las cosas y nos podamos encontrar por algún lado. Saludos!

[@jorge-3768]

Muy bien video, la único malo es que se me ha hecho demasiado corto! Me encanta poder aprender de fotógrafos de verdad cuyo trabajo hablar por si solo, y no ver revisiones de cámaras o lentes de charlatanes. Gracias por agregar valor al mundo de la fotografía

[@eortizfoto]

La verdad tuve problemas con el audio (perdí la mitad) y muchos de los videos eran demasiado shaky. Deseaba hacer algo más largo, pero preferí enfocarme en la calidad en vez de la cantidad.

[@timoteodeluna6170]

Aplauso! 🥳

[@eortizfoto]

Gracias!!

[@edsweed4604]

Loved the approach. Were you auto focusing most of the time - focus and recompose?

[@eortizfoto]

You mean me, or Jonathan?

[@damir_juraboyev]

What camera and lens did you use to shoot this video? Greetings from Uzbekistan!

[@eortizfoto]

Used a Fuji xs20 plus the kit 18-55 + a variable ND and a black satin filter 1/4

[@RayRomanMedia]

Enjoyed this,.. just subscribed!

[@eortizfoto]

Awesome! Thank you! Stay tuned for more

[@maxbashyrov5785]

Loved the part about 'adjusting exposure' with ISO - another good example of how very capable photographers may have no understanding of the basic theoretical principles of their craft.

[@nickthaskater]

What's the issue with that statement?

[@maxbashyrov5785]

@nickthaskater ISO has nothing to do with exposure.

[@nickthaskater]

@@maxbashyrov5785 ISO controls light sensitivity, which directly impacts exposure. Lock your shutter speed and aperture and change the ISO and you change your exposure. This is why it's part of the "exposure triangle." ISO correlates to exposure time. What is your argument for ISO having nothing to do with exposure?

[@maxbashyrov5785]

@@nickthaskater my argument is science (H = E * t, find ISO in this equation) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_(photography) "Exposure triangle" is a fallacy, very well explained here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGjIlYyHoMRnl9E It seems you're confusing "brightness" of the image with exposure.

[@nickthaskater]

@@maxbashyrov5785 I literally said "sensitivity" in my reply. I'm not "confusing 'brightness' with exposure." In the comments of the video you linked, there's one which sums up the point: "A choice of ISO always implied choices of aperture and exposure given artistic vision. You can't say that ISO, (the sensitivity of film) was not an element of exposure either then with real film, nor now digitally where it is exactly defined based on its effect on exposure." Sensitivity to the light has bearing on the outcome of the exposure and the choices made in the process of the exposure. It's pedantic semantics to argue otherwise (although I know being technically correct is the best kind of correct).

[@paulholland8132]

What a great chat with a photographer i really like and admire, fascinating. #soholeica.

[@lucian8256]

"My triggers are lipstick, well defined animal shadows and Justin Beiber." Thats a wild line

I miss you bud!! Looking forward to seeing you soon

[@PUROBAILAZO2020]

In this day and age, it feels like you can’t share an opinion without being called a hater, and I hope that’s not the case here. I’m not questioning the quality of this photographers work. It’s beautiful. But I think part of what makes his work stand out is the locations he's shooting in. It's often in exotic far-off places that most people don’t have access to which naturally makes their work more captivating. It also seems like when photographers shooting in these foreign countries, people aren’t as paranoid as Americans tend to be. I see this guy photographing children, men, and women, and no one’s making a big deal about it because he’s seen as a tourist. That kind of acceptance gives him more freedom to capture authentic moments. It makes me wonder if these same photographers brought their skills to more familiar places, everyday locations that people might overlook, would their work have the same impact? I’d love to see them capture the beauty of Americana in the 2020s like what Robert Frank did with The Americans instead of focusing only on iconic cities or exotic spots. Sometimes the magic is in finding the extraordinary in the ordinary. Anyways that's what I think. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@eortizfoto]

It’s true and I agree with you a bit. However, both Jon and I are travelers/nomad 1st and photographers 2nd. And The work you describe is done all over the place too. Fabian Ecochard in Paris, Sam Feria in Australia, Trevor wisecup in NY and so on. You just need to expand your horizons. Examples of great work can be found anywhere. I’m shooting a street photography project in La Paz, Bolivia. Where it’s not easy, and local photographers tell me something similar, you can do this bc you’re a foreigner. At the end of the day, one needs to stop making excuses and do the work one wants and also can. I do the same style of photos no matter where I go, I did it even Germany where people aren’t friendly, especially photographically speaking

[@TruthSayer10]

Is that all raw pictures or edited

[@eortizfoto]

He shared jpgs with me. As far as I know he’s got his own presets.

[@sevwoz8342]

It's probably easier to be a well acclaimed photographer when you have money to travel those exotic places where life goes in manual mode, lots of happening on the street and people, surrounding looks unusual to us westerners and nobody oppose of your camera. It is as fishing in a breeding pond as opposed to trying to fish in unknown water. Be acclaimed photographer in a your own small boring town, be a new Eggleston. That is a real accomplishment.

[@eortizfoto]

That’s utterly nonsense. I personally don’t have much money and manage to travel still. I’m from a lower medium class in Chile, and move around with around 1200usd/month budget. Which is very tight sometimes. There are plenty of people who travel to India and more exotic countries and never find some recognition. I’d say it’s also hard to standard out with work made in India, as there’s plenty of great work done there. Jonas and I were both travellers first, and photographers second. If you manage to travel somewhere “exotic” let’s see your photos come out as good and alive as Jonathan’s . I bet they won’t

[@sevwoz8342]

@@eortizfoto awe, no doubt he's a better photographer than me. I'm just saying that as lot of us don't go far and often as they could. If I would compare the environment of western cities, where people are constantly on their phones commuting to work or shop. It's becoming very clinical, no more C. Bresson world where children playing on the street, a guy throw newspaper to door, things like that and a world in Asia or Middle East where life and work is still happening on the streets then definitely there is much more interesting things to photograph and easier as people don't mind being photographed. That's all.

[@eortizfoto]

@@sevwoz8342 well, I think you need to look further. I've seen plenty of great work done in "western countries" recently. Just heck Sam ferris in Australia, Jeremy Page in Hollywoodm Fabian Ecochard in Paris, Cal Hollan in London, etc. It's def not as easy as in Asia, but it can be done.

[@manuprats5080]

This man, Jonas Jasoperg street photography is empty; it boils down to a series of coincidences captured from odd angles to grab the viewer's attention. Copying Alex Webb doesn't make you Alex Webb.

[@eortizfoto]

It’s sad that you think he’s copying Alex Webb. Layering isn’t equal to Webb’s work. Find out about the curse of Alex Webb. I personally think Jonathan’s work has a sense of depth and life that few can achieve. He’s even using a 28mm, Webb used mainly a 35. I think Jonathan’s work is more similar to Sam Abel’s, but I’m sure you don’t know this name.

[@manuprats5080]

@eortizfoto any point of view is correct. To me after Webb, everything is done.

[@eortizfoto]

@@manuprats5080 then why bothering taking photos anymore? Or even going outside if everything is done? Don’t think so
