Loving all of that but the one at 5.38 was sublime.

@@ChrisBrogan thanks Chris mate means a lot

[@theblackmanarmedwithacamera]

I ACTUALLY LIKED THE LIGHT WHEN YOU STEPPED AWAY FROM THE STEPS AND WENT INTO THE DARK. MAKES FOR A MORE DRAMATIC SHOT!!💯💯💯

Thanks Gary, I love this Utube video I think it is one of the best ones up to now for insight into your photography world. I love how you explained the lighting here by showing us all what we needed to look for cheers mate.

Always so much to learn my friend I need five lifetimes :) thanks so much again

[@knightsorder]

wonderful...the ivy foliage is a nice background open the door pics - check out The Panic in Needle Park film - similar style colour use.

[@LASHMAR]

Great picture's as always gary. I love going to leake street, I've taken lots of pictures.

amazing portraits!

Great shooting. Immense amount of character expressed in the portraits. Gary, what's your goto lense on the Fuji for your street portraits?

[@LASHMAR]

16mm :) thanks mate

[@innercityunit2112]

Like it, really nice shots man. Mind if I ask what work you do in post?...but will understand if you don't want to answer that....Fantastic portraits.

[@LASHMAR]

@@innercityunit2112 no it’s fine. Of course it’s fine. digital has to be edited. people say that they like to keep their digital images natural / digital is very unnatural :) it’s horrid. I work with Lightroom on the street images. usually around 30 second an image. with my own presets as a base. Portraits I work in photoshop with layers and gradient filters and luminosity masks. Dodging and burning. Around 30-45 mins a portrait. I do have a design background. It is ironic though I can edit an entire event of 400 images in 2 hours but portraits which I mean I spend more time on. Like I said around 40 mins. A client portrait I’ll spend less around 15 mins.

[@innercityunit2112]

@@LASHMAR Thanks, much appreciated. The post-editing work certainly pays off, with wonderful images that the viewer can identify as being by Lashmar. Like a photographic DNA. Well I can see they have your unique stamp, so I presume others can too. I think your shots show a connection with the subjects, and to be able to do this and also see some of the intent within, and behind the shot, is no mean feat and not too many can pull that off with such aplomb. Keep up the good work mate. Cheers.

[@zih5903]

I've been watching your videos for a few months now and I must say I really admire your work (yes I have subscribed). One quick question. Do people ever ask you for money when taking their photos? If yes, how do you handle these requests? Cheers and thanks.

[@LASHMAR]

Hey thank you for your kind comments. Sometimes. If it’s someone who is challenged, on hard times I’ll do it 💯. It’s a collaboration at the end of the day. if it’s anyone else then no. not at all. I’m a portrait photographer for a living people pay me 😂

[@zih5903]

@@LASHMAR Thank you. Appreciated.

[@dingbat19]

Another cracking video - what lens were you using for this one mate?

[@LASHMAR]

@@dingbat19 16mm

[@dingbat19]

@@LASHMAR cheers, would never have thought about a 24mm equivalent FL for close in portraits but it's a style of street portrait I associate with you and you absolutely nail it

[@LASHMAR]

@@dingbat19 yeah I’ve always shot portraits with wide lenses. 35mm and 24mm on full frames. When I was a wedding photographer it made me stand out as most were shooting with 85mm. and I took that into my fashion concept work also and later street

[@LASHMAR]

@@dingbat19 this shoot I did was all 35mm … lashmarcreative.com/concept-blade-runner

[@willgreig8912]

Nice video, no GR what you’re shooting with Gary.

[@LASHMAR]

? The Ricoh. yeah the Ricoh is not really for me. I’ll still use it now and again :) Fuji xt4 in this videoc

Garry Love the shots with the guys with the "Rattle Cans" Im off tomorrow in Norwich to find the light @ Grapes Hill Underpass. Hope to send results to @idaretoshoot 👍 @isosteve100
