NYC Street Photography POV // Street Diaries ep. 01

[@daveyking]

You’ve just unlocked a new beast. Take this series and run with it. Remember to keep it simple, Joe.

[@loxleymv]

go check out, 7th era..Hayden P…and North Borders!! They do the same POV things but in melborune. Im excited to see it in NYC since i live closer

[@daveyking]

Phoenix I already have. Thanks for letter me know.

[@ben5123]

@@loxleymv lol these edgelord yt photographers that went to the peter mckinnon school of photography cannot compare to joe

[@BraeHunziker]

I wonder how many people said “did he just take our picture??”

[@Azn_Bran]

I'll usually just do the "keep aiming" trick and most people dismiss it.

[@BraeHunziker]

Brandon Davey haha a classic!

[@damvisuals4526]

I usually keep the camera positioned and just rotate it to the left making it look like im taking a slow video 😂

[@marcd7332]

I use the "look past the subject technique"

[@csorgotom]

@@Azn_Bran Nice one, but seems impossible with an SLR, it can be heard from two blocks away

[@theundefinedphotographer]

Wow, it really shows how quickly you need to react to your surroundings in street photography. You just need to snap and go. I always end up overthinking and then missing the shot. Thanks for showing NYC through your eyes and for breaking down your exposure process. I always struggle with focus and exposure during street photography because of how quickly the city moves.

[@DmitryKoupriyanov]

Def shoot and go. Have you tried setting focus before and just 'waiting' for the subject to move into it. Though I've missed plenty of shots or the timing was way off. Even worse when the moment is caught on video. :(

[@AnthonySchnitzel]

His reaction time at least 10x faster than mine.

[@theundefinedphotographer]

@@DmitryKoupriyanov Yes, I have tried that! A lot of time spent loitering outside shops and on street corners lol. I still miss some shots that way too, but I think it's good practice before moving on to capture strangers mid-stride

[@DmitryKoupriyanov]

@@theundefinedphotographer yonge-dundas is a good corner to loiter on. (saw you have a few vids from Toronto) One of my go to 'street' spots and just minutes away from Ryerson Gallery. People watching is great. Think many miss such small moment rushing around living life.

[@theundefinedphotographer]

@@DmitryKoupriyanov You're from Toronto too! Yes, Yonge-Dundas is a treasure trove. There's also a lot of activity on Queen St since it leads to Trinity Bellwoods, but again I think for now I work best while I'm stationary and watching people lol. Kensingston is also great too. People watching is definitely humbling. I think Joe mentioned in someone else's video that the moments on the street only happen once and are never repeated again, and I like the idea that each person sees something unique that no one else has seen.

This shot of the woman's high hills and her reflexion is dynamite Joe !

[@walkdial]

favorite series on youtube

[@jasonrodriguez7183]

Think this is a great idea! Get to see and understand more of the day to day things going on. We get to see that thought process, great job!

[@FSUvinny]

that pigeon shot was straight heat

[@andreaslamoth2927]

Some great shots in there dude. 8:25 is crazy with the double M in his hairline + logo

[@SalvatoreHuang]

Great observation! New York is such a trip!

[@daniel.h2488]

didn't notice the double m haha

[@LaZanyarr]

I didnt6even see that. Joe must hsve some quick mental reflexes

[@SamuelElkinsPhoto]

This was amazing to watch! Very well done

[@radicaleyemag]

Got a good feeling about this series! 4:45 is so beautiful.

[@sungasteeze]

The cuts were seamless from the gopro to the actual picture, and these candids are crazy!!! Looking forward to more vids from this series :-)

[@itshendo6475]

I love your approach to street photography... you’re just so slick and half these people don’t know they just got their pictures taken.

[@alexm1086]

Literally the reason I started to get into film and street photography was because of you. Your talent for picking moments to capture will always impress

[@patrickrowan2184]

Lots of okay/good photographers on youtube. But you watch this guy and the scenes he composes, and you just say to yourself out loud, "F***, he's good!" Joe really is that photographer thing. He stands apart from so many other channels. He's not a clickbait guy, he doesn't review products/cameras, he just shoots and shoots and shoots...and it shows. I'm terribly excited about this new series.

[@jonr3405]

Love how you show the developed shots literally right as you shoot it. Awesome work Joe, can’t wait for episode/volume II

[@antoniobautista7231]

Dude, love this The moments when you take the photo and the moving image from the video is replaced by the still picture is just bewitching. xoxo

[@MIikel17]

What i will love most about this series is trying to guess what are you gonna shoot, who interesting people you see before you show the picture, i am impressed most of the time because the things i think and the things you actually capture are completely different, great job Joe!

[@antoniod8185]

i always wonder how people react when they see they're being photographed by a random stranger on the street

[@alex_srsc]

Totally depends on where you're shooting. I'm from Germany, and I can tell you that this sort of photography is just not possible here. People are paranoid about anyone with a camera. Even in big cities like Berlin it's hard.

[@marcd7332]

@@alex_srsc Why is that?

[@WarteZimmer100]

@@alex_srsc in France too, it's pretty hard, but usually i "Hit and run", or if it seems to risky i just ask haha !

[@atroche1978]

@@alex_srsc aren't there laws in Germany that prohibit photographing strangers in the street?

[@neabby]

​@@atroche1978 In a lot of countries in Europe it's not okay to specifically photograph people without consent, but scenic images with people in it is fine.

[@johntazbaz1121]

LOVED. IT. I was practically screaming at my tv when I saw interesting opportunities, “JOE!DUDE!! THE LADY LIGHTING THE CIGARETTE!!!”. Lol. Thanks for the great vid!

[@valulea]

Man you're so good, it's amazing to see your process and how you don't overthink every image. Really inspiring!

[@louiskoehn3168]

Joe looking like Harry from Home Alone ;) Serious though I‘m so hyped on these videos keep up the great work!

[@t_wentt]

I've been following your socials for a while and have admired your photography. It's dope to see how you go about capturing stuff on the streets. I've always been curious about your approach.

[@rushinrussia24]

4:45 👌👌 amazing video! Can't wait for the photobook 🤞🤪💚

[@asherhuskinson6815]

Wow, the colors from the Fuji Superia are looking FINE. I’ll have to pick up a roll sometime. Nice video as well! Digging the FPV

[@FLCLben]

Dude this is so dope ! great video ! NYC looks like the Disneyland of streetphoto !!! like every corner something looks cool ! awesome !

[@maxstuart3348]

man oh man your ability to capture such a vast amount of life in four frames continues to fascinate me. really hyped on this series and what's more to come!!!

[@kxntra]

All you see on KZbin is boring gear bros talking about the latest cameras and lenses, it's so refreshing watching a video that is raw shooting on the street no bs. Thank you xo

[@metalfingersfilm]

love the video as always Joe. Can't wait to work on videos with you in the future! ;)

[@remiwalsarie]

The shot on 5:49 is amazing. So much meaning where the man is dreaming of flying away, with that add behind him.

[@ramo1464]

Great video. I love your perspective on how you approach street photos. Feels like a one man street photo workshop. Thanks for inviting us into your process and I'm looking forward to more in the series!

[@roi858585]

YOOO BRO DEFINITELY THE BEST VIDEO YOU EVER MADE SO FAR! NO BS AND SUPER RAWW! LUV IT ! KEEP IT UP!

[@camali_ch]

I love how you're circling and retracing some of your steps when you find an interesting subject. I feel like my dad watching sports but instead I'm rooting for you so you GET THAT SHOT! C'MON! SCOOOOOOORE!

[@chadwilder9275]

This is what everyone has been waiting for

[@PeterArnold1969]

Most people back in the day would've been paranoid about loading film in broad daylight, but you're like, "whatever, gotta do it". Great shots. I'll have to sub now. 😊

[@felixlebron7295]

This is the first vlog that i ve watched filmed in pov while taking pictures and I LOVE it! Looking forward to see more of this

[@Larslarson00]

Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing such an intimate aspect of your process- Living Legend- so satisfying to watch you load up that m6, and your Cartier-Bresson wrist wrap was dope

[@Dream331]

Haha.. I thought covering the GoPro was part of the plan to be more stealthy! lol... So many amazing shots in this video. Something really cool about that shot of the guy in front of the McDonalds. A lot of times I was trying to guess which shot you would take. Definitely keep this series coming! Thumbs up!

Fuji colors looking good, great video and excited for more content like this

[@ameliairimies5392]

seeing it from your point of view is mesmerizing, this must be the most fascinating video of yours. i adore te process and i hope you will make this into a series.

[@markhopkinsphoto7257]

After the world being in lockdown for almost 3 weeks, it felt good to see all these people walking around and living their lives. That was like drinking 3 cups of good coffee. With that said, I first came across the Leica promo video with you. Got me curious about you since I’ve never heard about you. Lots of solid photographers out there in the world, it’s great to see how social media has helped bring a lot of unknown, and even new, photographers to the point where they are getting great exposure. In the 90s when I was getting my start in the biz, the only photographers who got that exposure were the ones being featured in photo/trade magazines and the ones getting their work in magazines, and even then, you never got that in depth inside look and get to know them. KZbin and Instagram have been amazing for anyone willing to share their work and provide worthy content.

[@TheGermanCompounder]

Loved the one of the birds, the one of the woman with the purple coat and that reflection as well as the shot of the old man smoking infront of the 'flower wall'👌🏼 really awesome pics! I enjoyed watching. Love the new series joe! :)

[@musicajuansuarezm]

This is probably y favorite so far. You other video hav3 been mostly really cool and informative but there’s something about watching you take pictures and the moment around those photographs that made me 1. Appreciate you more as an artist 2. Learn a lot, like if I was with you watching. Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Also: whenever you fell like you wanna make a zine or a book, im a graphic designer and I would love to help your work and stories shine in that format.

[@MatthiasJBarker]

Fantastic man, love this idea

[@janstachecki5546]

dopest series on KZbin!! you the man

[@andreialopes386]

This is probably one of the best videos about street photography that I've seen! I loved it and your photos are super good! I still struggle with street photography, specially with the focus even though I've been doing it for 5 years and it's my true passion, that's how I started my photography journey. A few months ago I got my first medium format camera and I've been shooting on the street, but the focus is always a process ahah but hey I'll master it one day! Thank you so much for your work, you're an inspiration! You just got a new subscriber :)

[@Jonatsdonats]

Hey, Joe. Great POV of how you shoot. Question - at 2:30 you mentioned your ISO is at 800 but film stock is 400. Are you pushing your film? If so, how many stops usually?

[@adamrobb27]

I was wondering the same thing

[@doctordantedds]

He's pushing the film 1 stop. From 400 to 800.

[@szyszka82]

@@doctordantedds The question is, if he is pushing it at the development?!

[@doctordantedds]

@@szyszka82 absolutely, if he didn’t push at development his film would be underexposed. He doesn’t develop his own film but I’m sure he has the lab push the development process to compensate for the in camera under exposure. The colors on the Fujifilm look very punchy which to me looks like it was pushed in development.

[@szyszka82]

@@doctordantedds i assumed that already, but thanks for your assessment. I already was wondering y his photos were that punchy, cause normally superia 400 isn't that much.

Wooww quick snap, u really master ur Leica. Me personally don’t mind the camera shown in the GoPro footage, adding first person PoV game-like, which imho give the perspective that we, as the viewer, was there.

One of the best street videos on yt

[@corb352]

I’m loving the POV style, and you caught so many good expressions!

[@tomdivasion7724]

Love this Joe! Curious why (or perhaps if) you actually hold the camera up to your face each time? As you’re using zone thought you could shoot from the hip so to speak? Can’t wait for the next one!

[@ioegreer]

hey tom, thanks for the support & love! i actually “shoot from the hip” about 70% of the time. what you can’t see from the video is that when it seems like i’m bringing camera up to my eye i’m actually bringing it just below my chin / above the gopro. but there are times where i bring the camera to my eye to have that perspective. but most of the time i shoot from my hip because i prefer that perspective / angle

[@tomdivasion7724]

Ah perfect. Found this hugely inspiring, watch out london streets here I come!
