It's a street photography technique which is admired and frowned upon at the same time. Unobtrusive, fast, but never random. Shooting from the hip is the main way I shoot on the street, and this video I'm going to show you why and how I shoot this way.
All of the black & white images in the video were edited with our SilverChrome profiles and presets for Lightroom:

Anyone saying "pros dont do this" most likely is not a pro and never studied pros. I shoot 99% from the hip for the same exact reasons. I want the scene "undisturbed" when I walk into it. thank you very much for the video.

Hi Jeff Thanks for the video. I am a street photographer in Sydney and developed your syle of shooting last year, Nikon D780, 35mm, F11, 1/400, 400 ISO, I am not too concerned with framing, there is no time, I am concerned with getting a candid shoot not an informal or formal portrait. If you raise the camera your subject is then aware and its no longer candid. Happy shooting (from the hip).

Henri Cartier Bresson in one of his interviews states that one of his most famous images ,the man jumping over the puddle with jumping dancers on a poster in the background which is always opined as the epitome of capturing the decisive moment was actually shot blind there was a barrier up with a hole in it that he put his camera up to and guessed at the timing of the shot as the rangefinder was covered by the obstruction. It’s also heavily cropped.

I've been doing this since 2003. The smaller the camera though the better because it most likely resembles a card or phone. I relate it to smoking a cig around, being one with the scene and keeping it rolling. Literally shooting from the hip with a wide enough focal length lens lets you crop in in post-processing and apply rotation correction if needed, the results when you finally master it, are mysterious with allurement. When you actually bring up a camera eye level, that would turn street photograohy into portrait photography.

Shooting from the hip can give you pretty nice images, got some myself over the years. But in General I jus do street photography as I would do a wedding or any other job. Concentrate on the buildings, the scenery that is my trick and just completely ignore the people, I will just not pay attention to them and that most of the time works fine for me. I love shooting in the street, just capture everyday life as I go along with my camera. And as you say correctly, there are no rules to photography, no prescribed way to do a job. My motto is to enjoy and if someone complains (which most of the times never happens) there is always the oprion of deleting the images but to this day I never did that. Thx for the video!

I came across this video as I was simultaneously starting to shoot more "child's perspective" shots recently, and "shooting from the hip" definitely sounds cooler! I love the idea of capturing from-the-hip and child-like perspective of the street and different public environments; I think as people we can get really stuck in a single "zone" of perspective to the world, and shifting the camera lower will change that perspective and the way the world appears..

I wouldn't dream of advising anyone else how to shoot, but even as a mostly landscape enthusiast photographer, it's pretty remarkable how different my own images look when I occasionally jettison my default tried and trusted viewfinder-only policy and take advantage of an angled LCD screen to adopt a much lower angle of view. I've only just realised that it's precisely this lower than eye-level setting that makes many of your photos appear particularly unique and consistently interesting. I had wondered how you seemed to be unnoticed to so many of your subjects, but the other thing you're often doing as a by-product is showing more of the architecture and other features of the background within the frame, to give extra context and interest. Incidentally, it also makes children especially look considerably taller. But anyway, for a variety of reasons, your approach clearly works!

I bought my first camera recently to do street photography. The more videos I watch about the subject, the more I realize that there is no right or wrong, neither in how you photograph or how you edit. Yes, to learn how to photograph you need to listen to every tip you can get and you need to mimic others to get good, but in the long run you have to develop your own style to get comfortable and interesting to others.

Jeff, thanks for this video. Like you said, there is different kind of dynamic energy when taking photos by grabbing shots from the hip. There are moments when subjects arrive in front of you that are somehow arranged for your eye to know it's potential but come and go in an instant.

A really helpful refresher video on the subject. Thanks for stressing that it is important that an individual photographer does what works for them. Shooting with one wide lens, at f8, 1/500 sec , auto ISO and zone focusing has really helped I feel quite comfortable with doing something similar to Garry Winogrand's 'idiot fumble' and shooting from waist high

The first SLR I owned was a Sears Tower 23 that had the viewfinder on top of the camera. I could see the frame, but still got that "distance" from the subject.

I agree with everything you said. I started photography using a cellphone camera on a keypad phone, my peers loved the angles. I can shoot and aim it without looking on the screen, determining the scope just by feeling where the back of the phone is facing. When I got my first point and shoot camera, I adapted the same technique. Even now that I have a mirrorless and a bridge camera, I adapted it by estimating where the lens barrel is facing. I find it more fluid to take pictures at any angle--whether from eye level hip level, or even hands stretched up, using the fixed focal length lens. My aim is to capture the moments, which cannot be defined by what is the proper height of the perspective.

Wow! Great video, thank you. You have reminded me that I used to shoot like this with 35mm film around friends and got some great photos... I need to try this style again!

What a great take on the way you shoot. When I’m out shooting I do whatever my judgement tells me is needed at that moment to get the image. Great to hear you calmly support your style, in the face of amateur bollocks. Your pictures are some of the more interesting I’ve seen on KZbin for some while. I’ve just hit subscribe !!

I think it's an excellent idea. When I am next out with one of my old Leicas I fully intend to use this method just to see what happens.

"Shooting from hip" is actually a technique that is very hard to master hence only a very few can manage it, I still have my Dad's Canon F1 that i loved and made so many shoots with it's waist level view finder. Thank you for this video, it brought back so many pleasant memories for me.

These are terrific! Very dynamic and full of stories, one of the benefits of shooting this way. In the old days I used a twin lens and it was just a fantastic viewpoint and people didn’t freak out when confronted by this giant camera because very few even noticed.

This video was a breath of fresh air. More than ever, people seem to be so quick to jump on the bandwagon of the latest trends and whatever might be cool at the time. Your story evokes the reminder of just how personal the art of photography should be and your photographs show the unscripted reality of life in a such a stunning and beautiful way. Anyone who "frowns upon" shooting from this angle clearly can't appreciate the era of photographs from the 1940's to the 1960's where just about every camera was a top-down viewfinder style where shooting from the hip was standard practice.
