What are all the TYPES of Street Photography you can do?

[@ogonzilla]

GUYS! I worked so hard on this video. Crazy how 17 minutes can actually take over a week. Please give it a thumbs up if it helped you at all. Cheers.

[@chuck2703]

Gave it three thumbs up.

[@senior_ranger]

Exactly what I thought as I watched -- this took a lot of work. Thanks. You may also want to consider transport as a category -- subways, buses, taxis, bicycles, airports, Penn Station, etc. etc.

[@chadrem]

Omar, thanks for your hard work on this. I learned a lot from your video!

[@ogonzilla]

@@senior_ranger That could fit under THEMED under no people...but I maybe could've added something to people, for sure. Very popular backdrop. :)

[@Hyde-l8l]

Very nice Omar! Obviously this took quite a bit of work but it was well structured and thought out. Would love to see more like this from you.

[@diegogarces6931]

17 minutes of entertainment, education, and inspiration. What a fun video

[@jordao420]

Street shooting in Brasil may be a little dangerous, but I love it. I have a real problem in dealing with people, and I LOVED the "people implied" idea. Really great.

[@Steveontrack]

This is a 5 star ⭐️ video Omar. Thanks heaps man ! Simplifies, clarifies a confusing genre, I can now focus on one type at a time.

[@ogonzilla]

That was my goal!! Thanks!

[@Raftiano]

One of thee most helpful street photography videos on KZbin. Thank you Omar ❤️

[@paulab9363]

This is the BEST explanation of street photography I’ve ever seen! Actually it’s the only explanation I’ve ever seen, but it’s really cleared it up for me. Thank you!

[@cristianorichard4406]

Thanks thanks a lot for it!!!it was one of the best photography videos of my life.

[@geraldwiley6374]

I can't believe my good fortune to stumble upon this video. I have been doing photography off and on for close to 50 years. I take a picture of something almost every day. This is the most concise, well thought out and informative explanation of street photography I am aware of. Great job!

[@kleemyberlin6444]

Following you quite a while, I just found that video and it is nothing less than brilliant. So structured, so intuitive, so helpful to get an idea what street photography all can be. You should work as a teacher on whatever subject. Your students would be blessed. Great job, best regards from Berlin

[@WSEmx]

Uno de los mejores videos acerca de la foto callejera, muchas gracias! Excelente trabajo

[@fathurthlb3478]

yo this is the holy grail of education in street photography. Thanks for sharing

[@boris512]

I think you nailed it. This would be a great way to start any street photography course. I do usually think about this type of thing before I go out. What do I feel like chasing today? how brave am I feeling? What is the light like? What lens do I feel like using? And then maybe picking 1 or 2 or 3 of these to focus on.

[@TheKhristopher27]

Brother you need to put all this in a book. This is what I have been looking for over 10 years an excellent breakdown thank you Omar probably watch this video over 30 times before the year ends. I would like for you to also look at this other KZbinr can't remember his name but he did a video on nostalgia in photography or street photography please take a look and I would love to see you touch upon that issue in your own words or possibly a video thanks again -Christopher

[@AlOne-xg6dv]

Clear, complete and informative. Thanks. 👍

[@ThierryLothon]

Bravo de cette synthèse qui permet de bien structurer la thématique de la photographie de rue 👌👌👌

[@gotahave]

You are brilliant in your your videos. I love all of them. I never realized they “street photograph “ can be broken down into so many aspects. Thanks!

[@BenSussmanpro]

Awesome job! I love your people/no people diagram. Now I want to go classify all my past street photos. Thanks!

[@maximilianlenjau251]

I'm still new to street photography and this is very helpful to someone who might be having an "identity crisis" as to what kind of photos they're more inclined to taking when out on the streets. But I've found that the best way to learn is to dive in, learn from experience and in time you'll know what you love and feel comfortable with shooting. It's a never ending journey and expect a lot of failures along the way 😊

[@nellatrab]

Omar....this was excellent, one of the best informative street photography video! Well done....thanks!!

[@JBoothby-l5x]

The absolute best of many good ones by you. One of the best ever done by anyone.

[@kieulannguyen1193]

This is the third time I watched this video but still find it so wonderful. Thank you for making this video. ❤❤❤❤

[@gharrop1]

Very late to the party! Sorry to comment 2 years on…but have only just seen what is undoubtedly one of the best distillations of street photography ideas I have seen.Excellent food for thought and such great examples chosen to illustrate your ideas. I can assure you it still offers great stimulation to be project focussed in 2023! Many thanks for the time you spent on this gem!

[@ambrosiusbarbeier9516]

That typology is nothing less than a contribution to photography theory! It helped me organize my own thoughts around a topic that I find fascinating but couldn’t get a handle on because of all these types. This helped me see what I like, a d don’t like, and what I want to do myself. Thank you for that!

[@ogonzilla]

Selfishly I did it for myself to start. But so happy it can help others.

[@frankbelt633]

One of your best videos. I love how you have broken the genre into different categories. Good job. 👍🏼

[@ashmarierodriguez1805]

I am not even an amateur photographer, I just love to try and capture moments in time. I'm doing this little challenge that may or may not benefit my photography, but i think it'll be fun to push the limits of the veerrryyy little that I do know. This video is sooo helpful!! So thank you for helping a newbie out:)

[@charmolrine7943]

This tutorial was extremely helpful. I am traveling to several European countries this year and want to expand my photographic repertoire from wildlife and landscapes to something that captures the mood and rhythm of city life. Thank you for your insight and your examples! I feel more empowered to experiment and not fixate on trying to make it picture postcard perfect.

[@heatherhooper509]

Love all of the examples! I'm showing it to my high school photography class tomorrow and we're going to try to shoot some street inspired shots at school this week. Thanks!

[@ogonzilla]

Enjoy!!!

[@b4lini]

Omar, I love your gear discussions but for me, this is your best video yet. Thanks for inspiring an older photographer and reminding me of all the possibilities out there for great photography. As soon as this upstate NY snow melts, I'm hittin the streets!

[@ogonzilla]

That's amazing. Thanks for the kind words. I too am itching to try some of the abstract options! :)

[@JulianPrior]

This is brilliant Omar - thanks so much for making this video. Equal parts informative and inspirational. So many times I’ve set out to do some street photography in my home city (Vancouver) without a clear idea of what to capture and ended up with nothing. This categorisation helps immensely. As an ex Sociology instructor I also like your description of the ‘mundane’ but would argue that there is a lot of extraordinary behaviour that can be captured in the apparently mundane.

[@ogonzilla]

True...I can see focusing on the "beauty of the mundane" as an entire series! Cheers. Thanks for the kind words.

[@paulf1767]

Thank you Omar, this should get me out of a rut and expand on the type of images I make. It must have taken some time to put this together with the images you used, I appreciate it.

[@chirag4]

thanks Omar, easily your greatest vid by far. I shared it on FB.

[@ogonzilla]

Thanks!!

[@davidkastelan3206]

Great video Omar! You sure took on a big task here but managed to kick its butt. I agree with you on everything except for the "story" aspect. This is surely an important aspect to the best street photos as you said but I wouldn't consider it a separate category (e.g. your "interesting captured life" could definitely carry stories). Perhaps instead of "story" I'd suggest "extraordinary moments". I think your sub-categories fit well under that umbrella. I'll show myself out now on my search for the serendipitous... keep up the great work!

[@ogonzilla]

I'll take that edit. I see your point. But, I definitely was getting a different vibe from good "life" photographs (that capture humans interacting with the environment in history...like kids playing) versus a SCENE of some kind that triggers something in your brain to WANT TO KNOW MORE. Maybe I could have called it that! lol. Cheers

[@davidkastelan3206]

@@ogonzilla I get what you're saying. No matter what, the boundaries between categories are fuzzy. Maybe we need a street photography Venn diagram. That'd be an undertaking.

[@ogonzilla]

David Kastelan you jest but that was on the table lol

[@bramantoranggamukti3814]

Dude this content is lit 🔥🔥.. This helps me a lot in recognizing what type of street photofraphy i would focusing in a hunting session.. Thank you for creating this

[@WillHoffman_creative]

I went in to this video thinking it wouldn't be that intersting a subject. I was wrong. You did a great job with this. Thank You.

[@yveskeroack1612]

Really helpful video and still totally valid four years after its posting, thank you so much for putting this together! 👍

[@TryingtoLearntheuke]

I am not a street photographer but have been interested in trying it. This video was just what I needed. Thanks.

[@anthonysanni6224]

Don't usually comment on YT but this video was brilliant! I'm glad someone who knows their stuff finally came out with a coherent video about the street genre. A+ work here Omar. And your curation of example images was excellent

[@ogonzilla]

Thanks, man. Appreciate that.

[@SunshineSuze]

Brilliant video. I can’t think of anything humorous to say or add to this one!

[@nikos146]

This is an excellent video summarizing all the ideas of street photography! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@janeberrisford8555]

a BIG thank you Omar for this brilliant video .... I love / hate street photography and you have inspired me to see everything there is that has potential for a great photo !!!

[@ogonzilla]

Well said....love/hate. After working on this, I "hate" it less knowing I have options if one thing isn't working out.

[@agostinodeluca9084]

One french follower more! Simple et easy to understand for not native english speakers. Thank you for this great content.

[@All-the-gear-no-idea-uk]

An excellent explanation covering all aspects of street photography. Well done.

[@anshbka1]

Man this was one of the best videos I have watched in about a week. I really needed this. Thank you so much for helping out

[@sevenbridgesoneriver4838]

Just starting out in street photography. Been capturing images for a long time but never had a go at this. Thanks for the vid. Very cool.

[@Anthony_Urzua]

This video helped me understand what I naturally lean towards. This is awesome

[@okestone7349]

Fascinating overview, thank you! Enjoyed every minute and the wonderful, inspiring examples.

[@ruongongnhu9564]

Thank you. What a valuable experience in street photography. Lectures are easy to understand and highly general. Very appreciated and thank you.

Thoroughly enjoyed this video despite being primarily a landscape guy😳. Personally, I think you are one of the very best photography centric KZbinr! Deserve 20 times the number of subscribers.

so nice

[@441nuits]

the pics on the vids are amazing thx!! my fav is definitely people light/shadow, it’s amazing

This concept and production is extremely well done----well done! and I almost never comment-but I had to!

[@keithlouise9736]

This is really helpful for someone who is just starting with street photography! Love the content man.

Wery well explained🎉 It can help a lot. Many days I just use my intuition. But on a days without a plan this schematics of yours can be useful! Cheers ✌️😊

[@rajmaharjan9828]

Mr. Gonzalez, This is my favorite video from you, the way you’ve explained the street photography with the whole diagram is beyond one’s expectations! Your video is a hundred times more potent than the ones that most people actually pay for. Very Grateful. A lifetime subscriber.

[@leskeen1179]

Brilliant Omar. You can tell the hard work put into preparing this video. So many times I’ve wandered the streets waiting for something to ‘happen’ and come home disappointed. This will really help me to narrow my focus on what I’m looking for and hopefully help me improve. Cheers Omar

[@ogonzilla]

Exactly how I feel all the time! Now we can focus on some things and HOPE something happens.

[@robertdumon2202]

New to street photography. Awaiting my Fuji X100f arriving tomorrow. You're videos are SUPER helpful, thanks!!!

[@belindaschindler1703]

I think this is awesome! You covered so much. I am a hobbyist and have yet to try street photography. Thank you for all the info. Very good video. Saving it!

[@orlandobritain]

great breakdown, it just helped me categorise and organise all the seemingly random shots I've taken.

[@kyddrob]

As somehow who JUST got into street photography (and just photography in general), i can't explain how helpful this video was! For the most part I started just taking photos of things that caught my interest (color coordination, patterns) without any particular goal/theme. I think I will try to focus on a few of these types at a time and figure out what resonates with me.

[@Kit2Canada]

this is superb. Thank you. I can link to this when explaining that fateful phrase “I don’t know what to photograph”

[@MikeSimpao]

By far the best video on street photography I have ever seen on KZbin! Well done sir, your work is brilliant.

[@stelapaya]

What a fantastic summary of different styles! Very inspirational. Thanks for sharing.

[@monsieurbennett]

This is brilliant Omar, thank you! I generally do landscapes and my kids but today unusually did plenty of street. I loved it.

[@abp3234]

Very good Omar; that was well thought through, well presented and entertaining at the same time. You made sense of a difficult genre; great work!

[@ogonzilla]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@craftyrouze]

Didnt think there were so many categories. Makes me wonder which one I've been doing. Oh an the stylized one. It captures my eyes. I tried a few myself on rather boring photos to make them more intetesting, but I feel it's not real, so doesnt give me joy in the end. Thanks for sharing all this

[@coffeemeblack]

Thank you. I find this very useful, and if I may, this is like the guiding principles for Street photography. I know some people will argue that photography is an art but technical skill is also essential (example, the understanding of exposure triangle) Great work. Cheers !

[@ogonzilla]

thanks so much!

[@NJM1948]

You nailed it Omar!! Great way to put the genre across. The breaking down of the various parts of Street Photography is an excellent way to help people who don't have too much experience. I was intrigued and hooked right to the very end!!!

[@ogonzilla]

Thanks for the feedback. SUPER helpful on my end.

[@thekushinator]

[@smooth6718]

Outstanding tutorial! Loved the outline form, which made you easy to follow. Three thumbs-up and you now have a new subscriber. We can all tell the video took you a lot of time and effort, but you can relax now and say, "It was definitely worth it."

[@dcxdanny]

Thanks, Omar. Seems you have covered all the types of street photography. Of course many photographers are pretty locked into only defining street photography in a few genres, and anything out of that area is not street photography.

[@emeggiolaro]

Three years later still very beautiful video. Thanks for sharing

[@fferanda]

This is such a great video, i learned a lot so thanks for an amazing job. Is simple and clear yet is full of useful information. I'm trying Street photography and sometimes it feels overwhelming but after watching this there's so much I wanna try, so thx ✨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ video! Thanks for Pythia together for us Omar.

[@konmorse]

Just wanted to say thank you for this video Omar. This video propelled me into getting into street photography 1 year ago when you released this video, which has since led me into not only street, but also film photography.

[@TheLiamGordon]

Great stuff Omar! I like that you included neighborhoods as a type of street photography. I never really thought of it like that but I guess it is. I photograph my neighborhood every morning while walking the dog as a way to practice 'seeing' for when I go looking for street photos.
