The only Street Photography advice you need

[@macmac6479]

This is exactly right! I agree completely. The hunt for the best gear and the perfect photo can be limiting. Just shoot and shoot a lot!

[@Jonathanearnshaw]

Such a good video! Love your words my friend!!! 😊 I learn from you and grow!

For me, street photography is for fun and relaxing and connecting. Seeing what emerges. I think for sure getting a kit together you enjoy using is important, and so is spending time on it. But you are right: its the quality of the time spent, rather than the quality of the image. With a bit of trial and error, and reflection on what worked (or didn't), good images will happen often enough to be satisfying.

really useful tips! when I first started street photography one year ago, i always felt exhausted both physically and mentally to take a nice picture. soon i learned that you need to enjoy the journey and eventually the it will pay back for good. greetings from Taiwan!

Yeah, just go out and do your thing. Good picture or bad, it's about the experience of street photography. Good advice, Brother.

So, the old adage: “you don’t shoot, you don’t get” then?

[@anta40]

For me, street photography is observation first, whether you do it in big cities like NY, Tokyo, Shanghai etc, or on your hometown. Anything can be interesting if you know how to frame it. Well, of course I'm biased to abstract-ish works like Leiter or Haas. Being able to make a nice images is bonus. You can't control people moving aroung, the lighting, the weather etc. Either wait patiently, or do it again on the next day. If you want to consistently make good images, perhaps consider studio work. Heck you can control practically anything... lol

Great video 👏👏👏

[@TungstenOvergaard]

Zoom transitions and change of quality of sound depending on the room are a bit distracting (but just my opinion).

[@streetphotographyguy]

Yes, you are right! Working on it, thanks for the feedback.

[@belaacs5238]

You forget the camera at home, when you go out, take street photos? Well, that's new to me.

[@blindsouris]

If you are in an interesting city like Vivian Maier or Meyerowitz you can make interesting photos or in a far remote ugly places make boring photos, like Eggelston boring photos with superb colours but still photos of boring subject.

[@yoshi314]

tip number one is knowing what to do not to get punched in the face. some people do not take kindly to photographers. and very physically so.

I bought r10 for street photo and absolutely frustrated with it. its heavy bulky, picture quality is awful. I cant get proper composition and exposure. That experience make me very depressed and I dont want do photos anymore. Both process of taking photos and results are make me feel sick. I dont want even edit taken photos. I just have feeling that its useless. Just want to share my experience with others who want to try it - thats very special hobby. You should like spent time editing your photos (I hate it) Your camera should be small as xt-30 with lens like 27 mm ttartisan. or even smaller. as small as possible. And never ever buy canon cameras.

[@maximusaugustus6823]

Street photography is photography that no one will buy or care about. It's a hobby.

[@bushbeatnik4480]

go shoot with a film camera and don't load the film and go shoot, or take your digi with no card and go out once a week with it. Quit trophy hunting and just do.

[@streetphotographyguy]

That´s indeed a great tip, thank you for sharing!
