[@eortizfoto]

Always always always… thanks for watching buddy

[@photogroup16]

Some solid advice and fabulous photos. It was a pleasure to walk along with you through the market capturing that morning light

[@eortizfoto]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for passing by and leaving a comment. Cheers!

“The people are more important than my pictures.” Wise words from el fotógrafo humanista. 12:04

[@eortizfoto]

Glad some of my words resonate somewhere. Thanks bud for watching!

[@rorymatthews]

Very useful video on the subtleties of this art (which are actually the most important things.)

[@edjefferson9175]

These wonderful hard working people so early in the beautiful morning. They should be proud to have you documenting their lifestyle. Very impressive!

[@brownneedles6968]

I like the variety in how you present your videos but always with useful information that you demonstrate. The music and ambient street noise that carries through the stills really creates continuity. Excellent tips that I will practice on my 1st trip abroad next month.

[@eortizfoto]

I'm pleased that you've noticed the variety in my videos, even though they generally follow the same structure.

[@kylebatsonphoto]

What a lovely morning. Thank you for sharing your approach. And great photos as well.

[@eortizfoto]

Glad you enjoyed it! Mornings are my favourite time to shoot btw.

[@irishmaninflorida1608]

Happy to have come upon your channel. Puno and her people are so colorful. Hardworking people I can see it. I have seen the train take tourists there on a travel vlog. Such an amazing country I have no doubt. My little Ricoh GR3x would love this market!

[@geloybautista8667]

I wish i had known about you earlier because you make it all seem so fulfilling. Thank you for sharing much of your knowledge as much as you are approachable with strangers!

[@eortizfoto]

Better late than never they say! Welcome on board

[@jamingdani]

The photo on 7:52! Wow ❤

[@eortizfoto]

Thank you!!!🤩

[@kinjalbhar3296]

I was having a bad day n a headache, so I dove into a rabbit hole of watching your videos. It made my day.

[@eortizfoto]

Ohh wow! I guess the headache got worse 😂

[@almostgreen9498]

Your compositions are so lovely! ❤

[@eortizfoto]

Thank you! Cheers for Bolivia!

[@TheUrbandilema]

I believe and live by yhe rule of not photographing the homeless and the person in a situation... I really like the rules especially of the focal lenghts u basically couls fram yout shot in your eye and mind before even lifting your camera.. awesome work amigo my god bless u n guide u

[@eortizfoto]

Thanks for watching bud! Blessing from Peru.

[@Sacullius]

It was great to experience this market with you. I like it how you go to people with the camera and take your photos

[@eortizfoto]

Straight up front and honest

[@garywebb5912]

Nice to see your back making videos again Eduardo, all the best for your channel.

[@eortizfoto]

More to come! a bit slowly tho haha

[@pifilos]

Fantastic video. Beautiful captures and mini course on how to use the 18mm f2. Thank you for sharing.

[@eortizfoto]

My pleasure! I’m glad you liked the video and than 18mm is really a great little and underrated lens.

[@nicolaslambertphotos]

Intersting 👍 Nice picture and nice atmosphere

[@fealith]

best photography videos are yours sir. also i love your photos as much as your videos. thank you.

[@eortizfoto]

Wow, thank you! How nice of you

[@wiandryadiwasistio2062]

mine would be: - be prepared for a ‘no’; just go with it - be approachable; speak clearly and show your interest towards your potential subject - compliment them; “i like your dress”/“your appearance is aesthetically pleasing in my eyes”/etc. - direct, not command; tell your subject to imagine a pose instead of prompting them (this can also help done by having a chat with them, as insights from your subject will help you direct poses better. communication is key!) - be grateful and show them the results; say “thanks” and go show the best shots of your subject

[@eortizfoto]

thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. i agree with most of them except for the 4th, direct or commanding both imply staging, which I am totally against. I want my work to be candid. thanks a milllion for watching!

[@wiandryadiwasistio2062]

@@eortizfoto oh yeah, point no. 4. i do street portraits most of the time 😅

[@eortizfoto]

@@wiandryadiwasistio2062 thats so nice!... I dont consider street portraits part of the street photography genre tho unfortunately. I think it works more as documentary work, any sort of directing for me is a no-go in street photography. ...but it's an opinion only! not discouraging intended

[@wiandryadiwasistio2062]

@@eortizfoto that’s ok, i enjoyed it as much as you do your works. it’s fun getting to chat and get insights/local wisdom from your subjects!

[@isa.miranda.9]

Thanks for sharing your experience in Puño. My family is from Bolivia and I would love to photograph more in that area. Great tips too!

[@eortizfoto]

Thanks for watching! Bolivia is such a nice place, my partner is from there indeed :)

[@KennixThe]

Awesome work. Thank you for sharing your talent to us.

[@eortizfoto]

So nice of you! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment

[@daveincork]

Great video, just mesmerised by the effortless art of your composition. Come to Ireland and teach me!

[@eortizfoto]

Deal bud! I’ll be in Istanbul from the end of March till the end of Abril. I’d love to go shooting with you. You’re invited. Btw, I haven’t forgotten I owe you some money. Just I haven’t been able to save money lately. Sending hugs!

[@regannealephotography]

This video was super helpful! I’d love to see how you edit your photos. Are you using Classic Chrome? Do you use any Dynamic Range settings? Saw them on your LCD screen

[@eortizfoto]

Honestly, I just keep the DR setting on auto. I mainly shoot manual, and usually use ISO 400, so I think the DR is set to 200 by default. I shoot RAW using the PROVIA film simulation and edit the files on Capture One. Thanks for watching

[@will-eb2lz]

wonderful video eduardo, super clear and precise. learnt a lot from this, great job!

[@eortizfoto]

Gracias!!

[@nicolaslambert6130]

Very nice video. And your pictures are great

[@eortizfoto]

Thanks buddy!

[@smotaz08]

Great video Eduardo. I like the aging pattern of your camera. I like it even more when I see that it's coming partly from helping people. 🙂

[@eortizfoto]

Haha, thanks! I didn’t realise what you said till I rewatched the video. Cool that you notice that

[@mankimank1983]

Hi, Beautiful photos both in this and in the other videos. I would like to ask about zone focusing. How do you adjust the focus distance depending on the aperture value? When you photograph at f/16 and set the distance to 1.5 m, almost everything is in focus. How do you work when the amount of light doesn’t allow you to stop down the aperture that much? Do you focus manually for each scene, or do you shift the focus point somewhere?

[@eortizfoto]

It really depends on the scene. But as a rule of thumb, I always try to keep my aperture closed at f5.6 minimums and set the other values accordingly, iso as high as possible and shutter speed as long as even 1/30s. It all depends on the moment, sometimes I open the aperture.

[@stephanedubarry8624]

Superb

[@eortizfoto]

Thanks 🤗

[@leoleo-of5qq]

Nice photos, good colors. I especially like three ladies in huts standing in front of the truck. We don't see many street photography from that part of the world. Thank you.

[@eortizfoto]

Very true, not many people doing street photography here. That’s why I wanna share as much as possible before I go back to Europe and the east side of the world.

[@Wasp9513]

Tremendas fotos Eduardo!

[@eortizfoto]

Muchas gracias amigo

[@TPRNOE]

Hello love you're stuff when u say you shoot 28mm and 35 do is full frame equivalent also what Metering mode do u use ?

[@eortizfoto]

I shoot in manual… with both 28 or 35 equiv

Thanks Eduardo, great tips. Where in Peru is this video made Un saludo

[@eortizfoto]

Read the title please haha 😝 ! Thanks for watching!!

[@oadrianocarvalho]

I love this video

[@eortizfoto]

Glad you did!!!!

[@Rawa2ful]

When are you coming to Germany?

[@eortizfoto]

Maybe next year, who knows? I don’t spend much time in Europe as it’s a bit expensive for me.

[@cristibaluta]

Isn't Germany the worse in term of laws?

[@eortizfoto]

@@cristibaluta I was told but somehow I took photos of even the police and I wasn't told anything.

[@Rawa2ful]

@@cristibaluta In Germany The law is not strict , it is more the people who are not open when it comes to photography

[@LL-hj8lp]

Do you manual focus?

[@eortizfoto]

All the time

[@jeremymeltinpop6623]

Where is it?

[@eortizfoto]

It’s in the title ☺️

[@me.f]

6:10 i didnt get it what you mean?

[@eortizfoto]

@@me.f find out about hyper focal and zone focusing. ☝️

[@DarrylHebbes]

Makes a difference that you’re not in Europe, its a different story in Germany for example

[@eortizfoto]

I’ve done street photography in Germany with no issues. And in many other “complicated” countries. I started doing street photography in Nuremberg btw

[@fabienb]

What am I doing still here? I want to join you and go shoot together again! 😃

[@eortizfoto]

Hahah the invitation is open bud!!

[@cristibaluta]

Morocco is harsh, made some people angry in Casablanca. Btw, the music makes the video depressing in my opinion.

[@eortizfoto]

I love my friend’s music.

[@alexsweet130]

Great video thanks for sharing, I'll be there in a month! @eortizfoto what spot is this? central market?

[@eortizfoto]

Yes! Most of the photos were taken during the week market, but don’t remember which day was it tho.
