How to Shoot Street Portraits with Tim Palman

[@themikepadua]

I'm applauding the bold choice of leaving that sneeze in the edit.

[@xHenriee]

Even if you don't like photography the feeling in these videos are the best thing. Proper mood lifters.

[@jimjam6598]

Certainly

"Colour is important, in colour photos" - Tim Palman, 2017 (great video and I love your work Tim, just couldn't let this one slide ahaha!)

[@canturgan]

It really is. He is actually pretty good at noticing colour juxtapostion and harmony.

[@rollcd111]

3:43 the old lady is like the perfect subject for that beige container and she has blue shorts on too, matching with the sky :OO

[@eladbari]

you're SPOT ON, dude. Sucha waste taking that frame on the guitar man. But, what can you do? we all miss good shots...

[@NegativeFeedback]

soz 4 loud wind + bad audio, we have learned for next time that the beach is windy

[@aedolahd3810]

absolutely loving the content man! youve taught me so much about film so thank you :) keep it coming

[@mill__er]

Beaches are windy??? Water is wet??? (only joking, lovely episode guys!)

[@jaredmtennant]

A. the colorspace of this video is gorgeous B. Tim is the man 👌👌 C. the photos are fantastic

[@TimPalman]

Jared Tennant ❤️

[@Fjalll]

Been wanting to make portraits of people in the nursing home in the area for a while now and Tims words in the beginning gave me confidence.

[@BaileyWhaleyBoo]

Bless you George

[@olofljunggren1189]

Tim sure is really good at handling people on the street. Nice stuff!

[@towablebiscuit]

That was an awesome insight to how Tim approaches strangers and then directs them. Keep the good stuff coming!

[@joetopping6269]

i remember at uni we had past students come in and tell us what they had learnt since leaving, and they pretty much all agreed you should take advantage of the 'student' status, because people are a lot more patient and willing to be in your photos, the great thing is we are ALL students :P

[@g-r-a-e-m-e-]

Diane Arbus always told people that she was learning.

[@aboud510]

I'm still laughing at the parody Matt Day made about George LOL

[@alvareo92]

same hahahah

[@lices]

where?

[@aboud510]

check Matt Day's video titled "KZbin & The Wonderful World of Comments"

[@mattdayphoto]

Hi

[@BoneChillinMusic]

it was beautiful man!

[@maxhathaway]

Love and support goes out as always!! Thanks for giving us great insight and content every week George..

[@thejordanflynn]

I love how Tim changes the tempo of how he speaks at the end to match George haha. Awesome video!

[@heartlandlight6862]

Watching George work with his subjects was fun and instructive for me. And encouraging. Thank you.

[@Halfpint71]

Stella photos, Tim! Especially the one of the gentleman playing guitar at the beach. nice work. Great video, George.

[@lewisdriver2652]

Really nice street portraits Tim!

[@mill__er]

it’s great to see someone from Perth out in the world and doing stuff, someone’s gotta put this lil city on the map 🙌🏼 👊🏼

[@a.drianluna]

Nice meeting you guys at the LA Meetup, stoked on what you guys are doing.

[@StephenAttongPhoto]

TIMBO IS A BEAST behind the lens

[@manishab1102]

the picture of the man with the guitar and the old couple were my absolute favs

[@The3Natural]

He has a nice approach with people. I was half-expecting him to ninja his way up to someone then jam his camera in their face. Nice change of pace from what you see from some people on YT.

[@TimPalman]

The3Natural hahaha thanks!

[@puzzledandy]

I recently found your channel and I'm already in love with it!

[@afellowsoulofash8382]

What a beautiful skill , I wish I could take photos as good as that , I’m improving , the thrill of taking photos along with the end results you get back from the film , it’s a beautiful process , I only have a classic Minolta x700 but it’s such a joyful process..

[@arym2863]

This was so helpful!!! Also I'd love to see a video with your favorite 35 and 120 cameras and the difference you value between them.

[@Cthulhu74700]

Well, Tim is a great photographer !

[@davidrothschild8913]

Those were awesome I really like the man with the milk

[@k1773ns]

David Rothschild him and the guy with the dog were the most interesting imo

[@alvareo92]

The guy with the dog is soooo good

[@lilblingking1491]

Absolutely love the first one of the guy with the dog!

[@TimPalman]

❤️🍼

[@yuelinli3527]

Tim is so awesome!

[@pramadhanirizkyutama9972]

Man I really excited for more videos when you in America!

[@gabbycabico6549]

This is very aesthetic and so lovely!

[@joepettet-smith2368]

Really inspiring video, thanks for this guys!

[@marloniraheta1705]

Great video man. You guys make film Photography look good. Great mood and inspiring as always ✌

[@OldCameras]

I feel like going out and shooting some medium format now. I hardly ever shoot portraits though.

[@alvareo92]

That's the thing about NF, whenever I watch their videos I feel like going out to shoot

[@pagliacci4]

FACT

[@WhooNiki]

Same I always feel so inspired by their videos

[@niquoOG]

Shooting portraits is lots of fun, you meet a lot of interesting people, and you start to feel like Benoit Paille

[@rwalshphotos5626]

Brilliant video! maybe i'll give street portraiture a go sometime!

[@uncoolalex]

something really soothing about this video and I can't really understand why.

[@isack707]

I love videos like this! Keep this up!

[@TheMrMKultra]

how many people did you come across that didn't want their photo taken?

[@joshphillips2594]

Nice guys! This is one of my favs :)

[@thimotyandersen]

great video as always!! love it

[@caglarhepterlikci]

Hey guys, great job! What lenses you were using with A7s when filming this?

[@safianofficial]

What camera is being used here? Cool video guys!

[@cruisegoose]

Great work as always! Thank you.

[@MJ-rv4xg]

great shots!!!

[@skylor3772]

Tim was using the Pentax 67?

[@lifghasewda]

Is the '3.. 2.. 1..' a prerequisite for being in these videos?

[@lilblingking1491]

I started counting because of them! It changed my life😂

[@TimPalman]

lifghasewda I blame george

[@Halfpint71]

I've actually adopted this method when shooting portraits. I think it helps my subjects hold in that all important blink!

[@g-r-a-e-m-e-]

Especially with film, you only find out later that they blinked!

[@luizaviana5920]

Thanks from Brazil

[@monkeypooboy]

Could you make a video on how you edit your work?

[@GIOMACHAVARIANII]

Hi. What called the music starting from 2:07 ? Really relaxing and beautiful. Thanks.

[@afirawwrie]

Bless you

[@paulvelasquez8729]

Hi! what kind of roll did you use? Kodak Portra 400 or something like that? Colors were amazing!

[@HunnidBandJuggs]

whats the name of the song at 4:07

[@callforhelp]

If you don't mind sharing, what is your color workflow/lut for the video? Thanks in advance :)

[@ellenkhaybonon1343]

I love this !

[@marcharrodworks]

What film was used? Thanks :)

[@zydiz]

Does he do the exposures by eye or does the camera have a lightmeter?

[@lolaprimrose938]

I was just wondering what type of film Tim was shooting with?

[@GattaoraStudios]

Yo you shooting with a Pentax 67?

[@TimPalman]

GattaoraStudios yup

[@alex_rodriguez777]

GattaoraStudios What film stock Tim? Looks like some type of Fujifilm

[@TimPalman]

Alex Rodriguez yup! Fuji pro 400h

[@pogoooooo]

sup robin

[@BrettFosterDotNet]

can i ask what lens? amazing shallow depth of field!

[@secretpotato]

what strap is George using?

[@antoinedbf4307]

Got one question for you guys, how many times do you get rejected from the "models" you choose ?

[@TimPalman]

antoine dbf I think only two people said no when we shot this. That said, you become good at recognising when people will say no and you just don't ask.

[@imajerk619]

Has he done a review on the Konica Minolta maxxum 7000??

[@paniked]

Hey guys love the content. Question though: How do you get these instrumental versions of FS&HG? Checking their soundcloud I can't find them.

[@dorek8]

Where was this recorded, what location?

[@mooreoth]

This is great.

[@GlendaSiagian]

I'd say everyone nice to ask for photo there. Great tips guys ❤️

[@robvisualstreetphotography]

Wich film was used? Portra? Do you give away a business card to give people the opportunity to see their photo online?

[@aboud510]

Notification Squaaaaad!

[@FreezerKing]

Were those Pentax 67ii?

[@TimPalman]

inyojelly nope, the original Pentax 67 :)

[@FreezerKing]

Ayyy, the OG 67. I'm saving up for a 67ii once I get better at photography because I love the look of medium format and the Pentax stuff is more affordable

[@framebyframe7035]

whats tims camera?

[@alvareo92]

Second time's the charm!

[@samysiahaan]

hello there! do you mind making a review on Zorki 6? i need YOUR opinion on it, i can only trust you in this platform. thanks!

[@yungkental434]

i really wanna try this kind of photography, but im too beta and shy cant speak normally with random people :(

[@Clide0_0]

Mahmud Samsul well damn lol. Gotta build that confidence i guess.

[@k1773ns]

Mahmud Samsul same. One day I will eventually get there as I really would like to have people as subjects in photos.

[@trsc32]

It’s easier with a friend

[@badrsehaki]

witch camera does he use please ?

[@Fjalll]

The photographer is using a Pentax 6X7 with a what I presume to be the 105mm f/2.4 lens

[@1OnionHead1]

what film was used by tim?

[@TimPalman]

1OnionHead1 Fuji pro 400h

[@Snulrich]

For real though as much as I love your videos, when are you gonna feature a female photographer?

[@k1773ns]

Will Ulrich this would be sooo nice to see! Maybe he doesn't have female photographer friends? I'm just learning my way around analog photography, sometimes I do feel intimidated that I don't see many women out there doing the same thing.

[@k1773ns]

Lydia Clara i feel like women could also bring a different point of view as far as subject matter, I hope there are some ladies out there shooting something meaningful and interesting and just as high quality as the men featured on this show.

[@alvareo92]

It's interesting, I see more women in analog photography communities nowadays (as opposed to digital photography ones-I'm guessing due to the overly technical nature, which always attracts and accepts less women), so it's even easier!

[@masonfairey7823]

Here are some fantastic female photographers from where I live (Auckland) who are shooting mostly analog if you are interested :) harrywere.tumblr.com/ www.imogenwilson.com/home/we-come-to-play instagram.com/babybrannen/

[@peytonfulford8307]

Yes!! We need more females represented in photography. I'm a film photographer based in the US. Check out my instagram or website if you're interested :) instagram.com/peytonfulford peytonfulford.com

[@1312nikolas]

Was he shooting pro400H?

[@TimPalman]

Nikolas Barrera yup!

[@Dscar1]

Where was this filmed?

[@radsabs]

Dave Scaringe looks like Venice Beach

[@shushushu30]

Sick

[@violette9706]

what i don't like in asking people to pose for street photography, is that the beauty and sharpness of the instant you were trying to capture (sadly) breaks down when you ask the person to pose - because it creates an uncomfortable moment for them.

[@violette9706]

whereas keeping the camera and the photographer invisible when taking a shot allows you to get closer to what the subject really is (to my sense), because theres no weird human interaction before

[@TimPalman]

v iolette I disagree, I think that photographing someone without their permission is quite voyeuristic in a way, where as when you interact with a subject you're able to create an engagement with the camera and photographer which comes through in the image

[@TimPalman]

v iolette that said, I don't consider my work "Street Photography" but documentary photography. I'm not making work in the same genre as Cartier Bresson or Elliot Irwit

[@tintedsucrose27]

Tim should bring a polaroid with him so he could give an instant souvenir to the strangers he's photographing.....

[@TimPalman]

Abigail Rosales imagine the cost though!

[@tintedsucrose27]

Tim Palman every once in a while? maybe?...

[@jmathews4765]

it must have been painful using the original Pentax 67. I remember using one just like that and I got hand cramps like no tomarrow. Even Matt Day made a review saying how absurd it was for Pentax to not make a right-hand grip for a camera that big. Then again. The 67ii is wayy too expensive

[@poacher9118]

This is exactly what I wanna be doing

[@flachtsix]

Hahaha the outro!! 😂

[@joaocouri1638]

how to colour grading

[@Alex.0470]

As photographers, we know what it is we want to capture in a photo but doesn't it sound strange when we have to explain why we took a certain photo? "The milk container had a red cap and there was a red sign behind him."

[@RyanTaylorMedia]

I'm not very knowledgeable about film photography yet. Can someone tell me why a lot of film is super grainy but his shots look super clean and sharp, almost dslr like?

[@RyanTaylorMedia]

Maybe I shouldn't say dslr like but how is there so little grain? Is it the film he's using? The camera?

[@MikeTaylorPhotoArts]

Grainy shots can result from a number of different factors. Such as pushing the film, which means to shoot the film at a higher iso than it is rated and then adjusting the development time to compensate. It can also be achieved by shooting older film that is past its "use by" date. His stuff is pretty creamy and smooth because he is A)using a medium format camera with 6x7cm negatives and B)he is probably shooting with a low iso film, like a 100iso.

[@mturunov]

Make branded t-shirts! Thumbs up!

[@Nytrohh]

ayy

[@cometeelcoco2564]

i love your videos!!! Other point of view necessary on youtube ;)

[@RoGameReview]

George hates eye contact

[@ingeborgwendel9795]

i lile those photos you take when you just snap someone on the street

[@Louis_B]

Yummy la goodness

[@theosimondetti5017]

the ADRIAN BLISS ending

[@rowansabandar]

👌🏽👌🏽

[@kate4298]

They look smacked in the last 2 minutes lmao

[@boxotories]

this czech flag shirt hahah

[@Tamamatamatama]

looking forward to more videos in the states! btw check out my instagram @dityaip, i shoot film too! :D

[@josephbergel5234]

Because there’s nothin more “cliche “ then asking strangers in another country to be “captured” by the camera, no different then. The animals feel on a photo safari.... if you went to school, you would have heard this by now .... but in the era of imitation, with no consequences, I get to imitate someone who cares about the medium, and somehow takes it a bit more seriously, then “captured” pictures of natives ....”oh, how strange, someone had a jug of milk and I used the red cap as my prop” sadly I watch , and hope for hope again ....

[@westcoaststrangler]

I like these videos but they have seemed to hit a predictable cycle. Every episode seems the same. Ill still watch but not with the same enjoyment as in the beginning.

[@Dan-jg7zl]

How original. Shooting people in the middle of the frame with a shallow Dof. How boring. This is not street photography. Rookies.

[@davehyper7835]

when are you gonna ditch squarespace sponsorship like everyone else has?
