Meet Germany's most respected Street Photographer - SIEGFRIED HANSEN

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

I found it funny that he really only edits one picture a month and spends more time taking pictures and less time editing. I really like that. His sense of perception of the environment is really incredible, you can tell he's spent a lot of time on the streets.

[@Steffe]

Always nice to see and hear from another photographer.

[@PeterBalssuweit]

[@dhoirjulian1260]

wouldn't have to waste time editing if he was shooting film aha

[@giovannigio6217]

who was born with digital cameras have tendency of taking more shots so that "at least one is good" or editable. as other comments said, if you were born with film, you gained much more experience on taking e picture right at first attempt. it a slower kind of street photography. great thing

[@colatudoYTube]

When the camera shot only one picture, it was almost good, when they invented roll film with 12 pictures, only 3 good shots, them 36 only 6 good, now with digital, 1 good in each 100 shots.😂

[@conchscooter]

I love his ability to see geometry and shape and not just people walking in and out of light. He is to that to which I aspire.

[@alfredmoser3820]

Ich habe Siegfried in Frankfurt am Main als großartigen Coach und sehr sympathischen Menschen in seinem Workshop erleben können. Einfach nur klasse. Ich kann seine Workshops dringend empfehlen, wenn man sich als Fotograf weiterentwickeln möchte.

[@rvwv62]

So simpel kann das Leben sein. Das Geniale ist einfach. Dieses Interview ist so offen und privat zugleich. Wunderbar!

[@philipsutton2316]

Man - this was one of the best interviews I have ever seen. As photographers we are artists and we all know artists have shallow self-esteems, get easily discouraged, often vacillate and many don't even have a good sense of direction. This guy was the opposite of all of this. He does not need anybody to prop him up or encourage him, he is very focused has his routine dialled in and does not get distracted. He also has a long-term goal and knows where he is heading. Also, he is one of the very few contemporaries who has the right take on film. Oh my goodness, I see so many photographers now who think they need to go waste their valuable time and money and dirge back and dabble in film because they are missing out on something. I'm like this guy and Steve McCurry - I was pleased to see the end of film and I never want to go back. As Siegfried says - he does not need film to slow him down or hinder him. I can't wait for the second part of this interview. Very well done Samuel

[@numbersix8919]

I think he said he has no long-term goal (except making photographs) and doesn't know where he's going. He's an artist, not a careerist.

[@chriscard6544]

he is an artist, im a photographer, that's a big difference

[@ricardoweis285]

But, who pays for his work ? He must have familly money or what ?

[@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp]

A slight correction to your conclusion that "as photographers, we are artists". Photography is what you make out of it. Like with guns - it is not the camera that makes art - but the brain of the person who handles the camera. Spending $ thousands for equipment or wearing a "Press" badge is not what creates "visual arts" but the talent of somebody who is able to see the light, and able to capture in a fraction of a second the moment when light highlights lines, shapes, and forms of an object in a way that it amplifies their beauty - and by doing so creates a memory in a person life - that is visual art.

[@chriscard6544]

@@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp I used to work as a photographer, I never felt myself as an artist even though people around told me it was art. Rare photographers are artists, they built something that is new. To me it doesnt matter if it is art or just photographs. It's a language with light and dark

[@tahaphoto]

I love his focus. Shoot first, worry about all the other stuff later. I mean, he really backs up his words. The work is solid. Timeless. Unique. Thanks, Samuel.

[@Needacreate]

Siegfried Hansen ist eine Entdeckung wert. Respekt: Der Mann hat echt ein bemerkenswertes, super-trainiertes photographisches Auge. Danke für die Vorstellung, Samuel.

[@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp]

And as he says- some things can be learned - the rest is Talent. And his modesty is one of them.

[@ninodjuras]

Oh man, he's machine, discipline and focus is outstanding...and his photographic eye is immaculate. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️

[@andrewcroxall1416]

Now I see why your good, got to admit bloody good interview as well. Definatly worth following even though I don't understand what you a word your saying your pictures show me,

[@PaxVitaAeternum]

Thanks for making this video so engaging and informative.

[@Pyliip]

Love Siegfried's photos so it was great to listen to his process! Many thanks Samuel, can't wait for the "On the Streets With" him

[@peterdeininger3052]

Die Aufnahmen von Siegfried Hansen haben mich total umgehauen. Eine einzige Inspiration. Da kann man nur nach oben blicken. Danke Samuel für deine exzellente Gesprächsführung. Viele Grüße. Peter.

[@monikabrandenstein5011]

Hochinteressantes Interview mit tollen Bild- und Videoeinschüben.

[@Applemetrics]

Super Interview! Ich freue mich schon mega auf die "On the Streets with" Episode mit Siegfried Hansen!! 😊👍🏻

[@herobear]

Heel erg bedankt voor het positieve en voor de goede kennis en stemming!

[@pifilos]

What a great video and what an awesome gallery of photographs. Thanks for sharing.

[@delpierro0815]

Tolle Bilder und interessantes Interview, danke. Ich kannte Siegfried noch gar nicht, werde ihm aber nun folgen.

[@SunshineHB]

What an awesome opportunity!! Thanks for sharing and can’t wait for the follow up video.

[@lout1587]

Thank you, thank you for introducing me to Siegried Hansen. I intend to explore his work further. He is quite inspiring.

[@winc06]

Wow. What a good interview. Amazing photos. Thank you, Samuel.

[@ARTANE01]

Super interview, I'm looking forward to seeing next episode.

[@harryp6312]

What an interesting engaging guy .I concentrated on the subtitles first watch then enjoyed his work the second time around. I would love to see more of these interviews. Thank you Samuel

[@andreasrau4541]

Vielen Dank für das großartige Interview!! Fotografieren statt Bildbearbeitung, toll. Freue mich auf Fortsetzung mit Siegfried Hansen Gruß Raule/ Braunschweig

[@DebiSenGupta]

This was amazing. Thanks for bringing this to us.

[@MicaelWidell]

Wow, his photos are really something. Didn't know about him before stumbling upon this video. Also: great interview with interesting questions! Thanks!

[@RolandKaufmann]

Photography goals right here!! I feel like I’m just scratching the surface of what street photography can be. It’s very interesting to see people that have truly mastered the craft.

[@aurimaspovilionis3304]

Totally what I thought…

[@PeterBalssuweit]

Bullshit! Every kid can do these minimalistic shots. quite random imho

[@jonathanqway4602]

@@PeterBalssuweit yup that's why he's well known, you're an unknown. Not sorry

[@chriscard6544]

@@PeterBalssuweit I totally agree: that's bullshit to me

[@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp]

Like with everything in life. The more talented people are, everything they touch seems to be easy - they are gifted with the talent to focus and zoom in to the core of things and not get distracted by the details.

[@Peter-ij7rn]

Well, bullseye this interview😊👍🏼. No big words, really enjoying his gift. And sharing it. It makes you want to go out. Siegfried's preference for digital shooting..no fashionable answer. Like that,down to earth. And man: his work ...😍😍Love at first sight( what is in a name!), Constantly scanning for all the beauty around him," the light on the chair.." Can relate to that. A fortunate man. Great stuff here.

[@ff-fotoschule]

Sehr schön euch zwei gemeinsam hier zu sehen! Geiles Gespräch! Frank

[@pasqualray1337]

Danke für das tolle Video und auf einen so guten Fotografen aufmerksam gemacht zu haben!

[@josephlai1078]

He is an amazing photographer. His book The Flow of the Lines is truly complex aggregation of styles and techniques in photography.

[@borzumo]

thank you, love how dense and informative you nail it 🙏

[@Linsenwerk]

Ganz toller Einblick in seine Arbeits- und Sichtweise. Sehr interessant!👍

[@chrismcr]

What a great interview, what a lovely man and skilled photographer.

[@suehodnett6911]

Thanks both, really great interview👍🏻

[@john_in_Berlin]

Nice interview, letting him do most of the talking, plus those photos! Thanks!

[@shaggyfeng9110]

I love his workflow. Thank you for this wonderful interview.

[@numbersix8919]

Thanks Sam, great document and wonderful photos.

[@petermartin9494]

His workflow recommendations are truly top class. Thank you.

[@klausfunke8244]

Ein großartiger Fotograf. Danke für das Interview.

[@donsnow4564]

Wow... his gut and timing is incredible! The image of the people in red sitting on the steps with swans. 1person 1 swan then beside the 2 people sitting further away and 2 swans swinging beside them! Just such great vision and timing. Great interview and love his work flow methodology. Cheers

[@pantonbleu7612]

Super. Einfach schön, einmal hinter die Kulissen zu schauen. 👍👍👍👍

[@orangebetsy]

Yeah, what a wonderful artist. Glad to have discovered his work.

[@olaf_photo]

Tolles Video, erfrischend und mit interessanten Einblicken. Ich kannte Siegfried Hansen bis dato noch nicht, aber jetzt : )

[@ThiagoFerreira-jn4td]

Really, really cool Samuel. Understanding his process and workflow was very interesting. Thanks for the interview.

[@dirkstadil8621]

Tolles Interview! Danke! Bin großer Fan seiner Bilder.

[@ArthurBizkit]

This BTS of his process is quite insightful. Never heard of him before, down my rabbit hole I go.

[@spookywanker]

Absolutely awesome and amazing interview. Thank you for this content.

[@analogmoment8013]

So genail! Ich freu mich auf was noch kommt. Beide seid ihr so sympatisch und die Bilder sind der Wahnsinn, hab das Glück ein Buch von Siegfried Hansen im Reagl zu haben, eine echte Meisterklasse!

[@xtianfotos9975]

Ein sehr guter ernster Fotograf! A big one! Bravo! 👍

[@dinodemopoulos3336]

That was an amazing interview. This guy just schooled a whole lot of us (well, me at least) with a shit ton of no-bullshit knowledge in a field packed with it. Maximum respect for a true craftsman.

[@TheGazmondo]

This is a man who is hooked on the essence of photography, the image, the fun, the curiosity, the self satisfaction !! He isn’t hung up on fame, profit, self image, and the Jewellery of photography the lenses and cameras. This guy is probably the most authentic photographer Samuel has spent time with, so congratulations Samuel. This is one to keep !!

[@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp]

That's what visual art is all about. Most of us handle photography as a craft, some are pursuing the technical aspects of it as a science, but not many reach the level of art.

[@morchidchellali1865]

I'm a photographer learning German, super happy about this video!

[@WatchDSSID]

AMAZING images - he takes Street Photography to “another level”!!

[@ultimatechrisso6592]

Geiler Typ der Siegfried! Dass ihm nie gar nichts gelingt, glaub ich ihm aufs Wort. Absolute Legende der Mann, tolle Insights! Sehr gutes Video 👍

[@henrykuppens9097]

Fascinating how this photographer selects his subjects especially when he has a split second to anticipate and think of the composition in a given evolving situation. A well done interview also.

[@DieTabbi]

More fascinating, if you do the same shot no one cares or said it a good picture. Anybody can do it, but he has a name we not. Think about Karl Lagerfelds photigraphy nothing special butyes but: he was Lagerfeld. I see tons of these photos in my university in photo department or the master degrees otoject. I ask myself, damn and with that hey get the degree?

[@ImagesByJJ]

Sigfrid is such a good example on why you have to go out to photograph every day. Always been a fan of his sense of composition and light. And also a bit liberating, that he is not limiting himself to only traditional street. Thank you for sharing Samuel.

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Thanks for the lovely comment Jan!

[@SilatShooter]

Wow, that was great! His images and way of seeing are soo unique. Great content!! Two Thumbs Up!

[@fotoeins]

Danke fürs Interview; das war richtig toll. Und jetzt fehlt mir die HH sehr.

Vielen Dank, wieder sehr informativ und sympathisch.

[@haralddoerr]

Tolles Interview. Danke dafür

[@islamalobeidi313]

This was hands down one of the better photography related videos on KZbin. As an amateur photograph, who has been doing this for almost 10 months, I have learned a huge amount just by listening to this interview, let alone the inspirational talk. Dont presure yourself, you should enjoy it for the enjoyment itself, not for production, and relax, there are no bad puctures, only really good ones.

[@Mckpht]

Amazing photographer with a great humor! The ice cream photo😂 thanks samuel

[@chrisparsons]

Really liked this interview and how you spoke to his process and started to tease seeing him work the streets when he’s out composing! Thanks so much!

[@raikmuc6066]

die Fokussierung kenn' ich total. Ich empfinde das auch nicht als Stress. Es ist wie eine entspannte Jagd und eine große Zufriedenheit, wenn an einen guten Moment erwischt

[@gregthomas7609]

Excellent.... I envy how you continually improve and inspire.

[@daemmi62]

Ich mag seine Bilder sehr und freue mich auf das zweite Video. Ein Stück weit geht´s mir ähnlich. Ich scanne ständig nach Motiven. Wenn ich meine Kamera in der Hand habe und durch die Stadt laufe, sehe ich immer etwas.

[@nohandle-01]

Great interview and insight into the mind of an exceptional photographer. The dedication he puts in is what we all learn about, but he personifies so much when he says things like 'after 20 years, I never doubt I'll get a bad photo as that is what the training has been all about'. Super insight. Thank you. I've gotten way too distracted with videos from 'gear boys' these days and need to come back to the art of the craft.
