London Street Photography with the Leica Q2 Monochrom

[@pinpointerpower9340]

Great photos Paul, really like the young lady and the Policeman on the tube both staring into space. Keep up the good work.

[@paulreidphotography]

Thanks so much! Yeah they are my favourites

[@colinosullivan]

Paul these photos are stunning. I'm working my way back through your channel now I found it! :) Really epic mate. Cheers from ireland.

[@paulreidphotography]

Thanks so much!!!! Welcome to the channel

[@walkingmeditation61]

When you meet ladies on the street they always want to see your Leica ! Love my Q2 Monochrome ! so many possibilities !!

[@paulreidphotography]

Ha haaaa

[@Alexframesrj]

Another awesome video mate, inspiring to go out with my q2m

[@alexgimagery]

Some really great scenes in there, and very close to the people subjects. I especially like the one of the lady with the giant billboard screen saying Multiverse Awaits at 9:50.

[@paulreidphotography]

Thanks so much! Yeah I love that one too

[@montycraig5659]

Man I love your videos, even though I am not a street photographer. I don't live in a city, I live in the country, the closest town has a gas station, and a Dollar General store. so mine is a different kind of photography. But, I can still find a lot of great info, and inspiration in your videos. Yep, it happened to me, when digital came on, I checked out, but now that B&W printing is so good, I am back. I still shoot film mostly, and do shoot some digital, but I scan negs, so I guess in a round about way, I am doing digital. Anyway... thanks for putting out great content. It makes me a better me!

[@paulreidphotography]

Thanks so much for your kind words and thanks for watching the videos

[@markielinhart]

Nice folio of London Paul. It was my town a long time ago. Still is really…✌️🇦🇺

[@paulreidphotography]

Thanks so much!! I do love London

[@albertsmith9315]

Terrific as usual. I'm looking forward to seeing your follow up about Fujifilm cameras. I joke that my old X-E2s with 18mm f/2 (28mm equivalent) is my poor man's Q. I know they are not in the same league, but the Fuji is not bad at a tenth the price. Again, always enjoy looking at your work.

[@paulreidphotography]

Thanks so much! I love my Fuji.

[@naziraltamar]

Hi Paul, Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us. Are you using L Q Mono for video? I really like the contrast and tonality of your videos. Thanks, Robert

[@paulreidphotography]

Hi Robert, the ones in the studio are a Fuji XE4 with its monochrome mode

[@adamreid5762]

Yeah that policeman is great. Top work Paul!

[@paulreidphotography]

Thanks mate

[@walkingmanvideo9455]

Paul, I want to ask about photographing f/1.7 on the streets. Do you do it much or reserve 1.7 for street portraits?

[@paulreidphotography]

I sometimes shoot 1.7 for street if I fancy a change. But a rarely go below F4

[@joshualepik]

Seeing your work with the monochrome makes me regret not getting the monochrome. I need to see if I can produce anything similar with the regular Q2. I know, I know, first world problems but man your work is always really good. I appreciate the story, context and your thought process that goes along with the images. Your photography is what hooked me, but I like hearing peoples thoughts around the images and just in general around this world. Good stuff

[@paulreidphotography]

Thanks so much!! I really appreciate you watching the videos and I’m glad you enjoy them

[@JLStreetDoc]

Nice shots Paul.

[@paulreidphotography]

Thanks so much

[@mrjonnyburkecovers]

We'll have to have a trip down there together soon. The Barbican is an amazing location (perfect for the time traveller) that we should visit. Also, more Jonny violence!

[@paulreidphotography]

Let’s have it!!!

[@brianjcosborne3460]

Nice. I did not gel with the Q2M, sold it. Got a M246 "Your Mark" . back on the streets again 🙂

[@paulreidphotography]

It is funny how we either gel with a camera or don’t. I’m happy you live the M246

[@doctuppes2]

Hey Paul, posted last night to say how much I do like your work. As I put in my insta address (sorry for that) as a link supposedly my comment was deleted. My question was: many of your brillant shots seem to be quite spontaneously taken. May I ask you if you mainly shoot that way or do you ask people for permission to photograph them? Are you trying to shoot unobserved or undiscovered or do you act quite obvious? Many thanks and kind regards from Cologne!

[@paulreidphotography]

Hi mate so mainly candid stuff with the odd portrait that I ask for. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it.

[@doctuppes2]

@@paulreidphotography Thx Paul, Cheers!

[@paddydane]

Awesome pictures Paul. And not a bird in sight 😂

[@paulreidphotography]

Thanks mate! Ha ha! Yeah I must be slipping with the bird training

[@Unabalaparati]

Is it save to shoot Leica in London ?

[@paulreidphotography]

Probably not in some places

[@WideAppeal]

Wonderful photography! Can't help but think that the policeman looks like Parking Parkawayo from an old comedy show??? Is he real?

[@paulreidphotography]

Thanks so much. Ha ha! Yeah he’s very real

[@davidharle8794]

Wonderful images and atmosphere. Maybe a bit less introductory stuff next time?

[@paulreidphotography]

Thanks very much. I will find a way of making that more interesting for you rather than me just sitting there talking. Or just follow my instagram out where you can view the images without hearing me talk at all.

[@Boatzerama]

I had the Q2 Mono and the photos were fantastic. Regret selling it.

[@paulreidphotography]

It could be with me for life

[@FranckChevallereau]

👏👏

[@andrewhillphotosvideos2909]

if you shoot canon you have it easy, if you shoot sony you have to work for what you can get better....... hard work and why...?

[@alwinbenjamin]

🥲❤️

[@braveheart3583]

Sorry, too much chatter, too few photos. It's just Fuji ads. Nobody needs that.

[@paulreidphotography]

Ha haaa! I don’t even get paid for those ads either. I’m currently reviewing my approach to all this now more people are watching these days.
