In situations like this, I like to think about my photos as if I were looking at them 20years in the future. You’re walking around your city and find it boring, but give it 20 years and these boring shots take on a great deal more interest, as you’ve captured fashion, mood, the time itself. Even the boring shop windows will be interesting when you can compare them to future branding styles. With this in mind, you photograph the boring and will never run out of potential shots.

Hi Samuel. I used to feel the same way about the centre of the city I live in, in Athens. Moreover, due to work and having a baby, I'd only walk on the same path all tourists go from, where there's nothing of any interest (bar the ancient sites). I gave myself a task: to force myself to find a way to photograph on that street. From that, I now have a long project with my Ricoh GR IIIx, a project I'm enjoying and more than ten thousa pictures taken on that small part of the city centre, shot almost every single day on my way to/from work etc. From boredom, I transformed it into a creative exercise that became a project I'll be shooting for the coming years. I saw several shots on those streets you were walking, though obviously my shooting interests and style are different: I go way closer to my subject, at 1m snap focus. Anyway, love your videos.

Excellent video. This is the kind of videos I like: reality. I think many of us go through the same thing and get bored with our city because we overexploit it. It may be that we are to some degree to blame, but we go out thinking that we MUST come back with a worthwhile photo and we force ourselves, we raise our expectations and, when they are not met, we are disappointed. The truth is that, as Sergio Larraín said: "it's like love or friendship, you can't force it. Nothing good comes out of it." We must resume the pleasure of going for a walk and taking photos for the simple fact of distracting ourselves, of enjoying it, without the pressure of objectives or goals that, when we started, nobody imposed on us (not even ourselves), and simply let it flow. Really good video Samuel. A hug from Mexico.

I live in a village in the Andes of southern Ecuador with a population of about 5,000. I don't have a vehicle, so I'm more or less confined here. Yesterday I was thinking as I walked on a trail in the woods that what limits people more than anything in photography is having preconceptions about what their photographs should look like. I think a person without these preconceptions can find good photographs anywhere, in anything. It's what Shunryu Suzuki said: "In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities; in the expert's, there are few." I'm happy if I can get one good photograph in a day. Some days I can't, most days I can get more than one. I, too, am very picky. Is that those preconceptions again?

It's especially extreme in Germany, though (except for maybe Berlin). Cities are designed in such a boring way, primarily to accommodate cars. "Fun" or disruptive activities are not wanted. No interesting installations, no unusual perspectives, nothing there for kids. People dress mostly the same, people try to be as unobtrusive as possible, nobody wants to be looked at even for a second. If you carry a camera with you and you're not in a tourist spot, you immediately look suspicious. Most inner cities look identical. It has to do with most of the major cities being flattened in WW2 and when they rebuilt them, everything became pretty generic. Most old towns are very small, depending on where you look. I also believe that the people's behavior is still partially influenced by that same time. Especially older people learned to "never step out of line" and that's how they raised their children. Of course things are changing but it takes an extraordinarily large amount of time for stuff like this to get better.

So the thing is now I can not find anything that worths to be photographed in Germany :( I live in NRW btw

@tomfenn7149

@@GeorgeHolden pretty much all of them. The trick is to assign the AEL/AFL function that normally resides in the shutter button to any of the many function buttons elsewhere on the camera, and by turning lens reset to off. On the later cameras, E-M1 mk2 and up, you can set up to three pre-defined distances, earlier ones though just one, however this is still okay to operate, and tbh probably faster as you can change it to zone focus at any point, as you wish and when. But the principle is near identical to that in the GR. It'll even remember the distance when you power off the camera. The main gripe as always is the lens which isn't as low profiled as on the GR (so bigger pockets is a must), but the advantage is that you can change lenses which you can't on the GR. I've been using the Olympus like this for years now, as have many others of course.

Maybe the type of street photography is a little harder, because you need to find people being interesting. For example, if you let Lucasz off leash here he could spend 30 minutes in 100m, taking photos of reflections, colours, shapes, pipes on the wall etc. For me, this is the way I inspire myself again. I try to switch styles when my wheels are spinning.

I live in the same city in my whole life, 34 years in Ankara the capital of Turkey. When I try to take photos I always felt like this is boring, its just lame. The city never inspired me, it is very gray and dull. But when I look into others works, specially the masters, somethings are starting to shift in me. Others works gives me hope and excitement to follow my guts and take pictures even the %100 of it is shit. I accept the fact everything is somehow futile and temporary on my life. Photography experience is no exception. When I'm in the zone I don't think about the city but somedays i feel the same and just go home to watch youtube channels to see others also feel the same.

Ich bin erst bei Minute 11, aber musste anhalten und kommentieren. Ich habe das Gefühl ich sehe die Innenstadt mit etwas anderen Augen als du 🙂 Ich war im letzten Jahr bestimmt 20 mal in den Innenstadt für Streetfotografie. Die Mönkebergstraße ist in der Tat nicht sehr inpspirierend, aber drumherum haben wir doch einige interessante Ecken für schöne Fotos. Zwischen der Alster und der Stadthausbrücke ist es für mich oft am interessantesten. Wenn die Sonne direkt auf Neuer Wall scheint, von vorne bis hinten, kann man auch schöne Bilder machen. Die Stadthöfe haben auch irgendwie was und ich kann nur selten durch die Innenstadt laufen ohne die Stadthöfe mitzunehmen. Dafür langweilen mich die Landungsbrücken unheimlich. Die Leuten laufen an der Elbe nur zwischen Landungsbrücken und Elphi hin&her. Mit Glück findet man noch einen guten Straßenmusiker mit Ausstrahlung aber das war's dann. Hamburg muss doch aber mehr zu bieten haben als das, oder? Man kann ja auch nich jede Woche die Reeperbahn hoch&runter laufen. Dafür ist sie zu kurz. Und in den Wohnvierteln, egal ob östlich oder westlich der Alster ist es auch oft eher trist und langweilig. Welcher ist dein meistfotografierter Ort in HH? ;-) Grüße, @sirtificate_hh auf twitter/IG

From Spain, I like a lot your videos, I think that have a great content. I'd like to know how do you focus with the Voigtlander, do you use the focus peaking?. Thank you. I am waiting the next video ;)

For street photography you need to enjoy walking & strolling and only then to take photogrpahs )

I did enjoy this photowalk :) But not everything I saw peaked my interest. But the search is what I enjoy.

Great video as always. I also find it a bit of a challenge to do street photography in Taipei, which is where I reside. The streets in general are quite messy for clean composition. I've started to resort to using zoom or the 56mm prime for a close up crop (I have a Fuji X-T4). By the way, personally, I would have loved playing with the water puddle at 26:20 for some reflective shots. I usually get maybe 4-5 photos with a total of 200+. And often come back from a day of shooting with nothing at all. Thanks for showing us the "keeping it real" side of street photography. Cheers.

I am at the 21 minute mark of the video right now and man , you've stayed positive a lot of times ;-) Now i will watch to the end. Oh, and by the way, i was in hamburg a few month ago and we also ate in this "Burger-schuppen". The staircase looked interesting but i couldn't get anything from interest there, image wise. Good to see, you've called it boring as well. :-))

Okay, finished now. Antik-market are really enjoyable, also here in Berlin. and yes, i must admit that i think everybody has preferred places to go to when taking photographs. and of course, you also get bored by looking the same things again and again. but the good thing in Berlin , at least, is, if you are around Alexanderplatz and stroll around in circles, you always end up seeing new faces every time you come along again. anyways, great video IHR ZWEI! haust de...
