What it's like to do Street Photography in India

[@THESIKHBOY]

They were happy because they saw you as a tourist who's come to India for the first time, but as a street photographer myself from Mumbai I can tell you people are not generally very sweet with us locals , sometimes they get supermad especially the cops😭😂. Though I'm glad you had a great experience visiting India🙌❤

[@MikeChudley]

I did expect this to be the case 😂😂

[@Dangermonkey1000]

people dont trust local.....becoz of taking advantage too much of their innocence

[@ogilvy85]

@@Dangermonkey1000 I would differ in that. a smile goes a long way...take the photo, if they look at you, smile, wave, do a thumbs up, put your guard down. they will want to know more. show them, smile and move

[@ogilvy85]

btw street photog from mumbai :)

[@thenoobieditor]

Fr Bro...I got my first camera and went to take some panning shots of cars and the traffic police asked me to stop that because there's a police post there. Actual reason was probably they I was a journalist (which I'm studying actually) and thought I was taking their pics because they were actually stopping vehicles for you know what;⁠). Seeing these foreign street photographers taking photos so freely kind of makes me wanna shift abroad haha

[@arun_kumar0]

Hey Mike... amazing clicks dude... and thanks for not showcasing only the slums in your photographs like some photographers/journalists/bloggers do... you showed what Mumbai is... whenever anyone from west hears the word Mumbai or India... the only picture they have in mind are slums... thanks for not doing that :)

[@neglectedloves]

first up: the photo of the guys on the wall at water is simply amazing! Secondly I believe there's a non-verbal communication around the world which tells you instantly if you're entitled and cordially invited to take a photo. It happened to me photographing in Jerusalem. People can tell by looking into your face what your intentions are... and what applies to your attitude: good things happen to good people! 🙏🏻

[@MikeChudley]

Thanks! I always remember that last line. I do believe good things happen to good people 100%

[@tomwhyte]

What an amazing video Mike! The shots you got are incredible, love the one of the people walking across that wall with the buildings in the background! 🔥

[@MikeChudley]

Yea man I love that too, thanks Tom!

[@lab58]

The photo of the four fellas walking along the wall is SO good! 👏 👏 👏

[@MikeChudley]

I love that one too!

[@graemecarswell2528]

Thank you. Great content and very thoughtful video. Should be a great help to me traveling to India for the first time in a couple of months.

[@ThierryQuerette]

Absolutely! India is an incredible place for photography. The locals are incredibly welcoming and always eager to have their picture taken. They don't even mind asking to see the picture afterwards.

[@hassanraja]

Really great video Mike, thanks for sharing your experiences. It's a huge dream of mine to get out to India with my camera one day. 🤞🏽

[@Whatreally123]

That portrait of the guy on the cycle reminded me of the character Prabhu in the novel Shantaram. Just apt.

[@pratipkarmakar01]

Lots of love from 🇮🇳

[@georgearmaos9811]

What a beautiful intro and video, loved this one Mike!

[@MikeChudley]

Thank you so much!

[@craigblewett6859]

Mike, thank you for bringing up the "disrespect" feeling. You unfortunately are the first photographer that's mentioned that and it's something that seriously bangs home for me. Way to often photographers will shoot selfishly and without thought for the subject. The mere fact that this is something you are aware of shout respect to me. thank you for thinking beyond the photo.

[@CAPS93]

Great video and some beautiful shots.

[@MikeChudley]

Really appreciate that!!

[@shashwath9032]

Great video. I am from Hyderabad,India. Loved the video❤️🔥. Hope you enjoyed travel in India.

[@MikeChudley]

Thanks for watching!

[@shashwath9032]

@@MikeChudley Thank You for coming to India. Hope you enjoyed. We too enjoyed watching your video. Beautifully presented 💯❤️🔥👌😍.

[@snapplemedia2425]

sick photos! love the vibe. been adding film like filters to my photos. I'm thinking of getting an insta print cam

[@sudeep64ify]

Great vlog and some really excellent photos. Would you be kind enough to share the colour grading of the photos (recipe)?

[@Ads_Snaps]

These photos are sick, makes me want to travel even though I usually hate every aspect of it 😆

[@MikeChudley]

Travel is great, travelling is sometimes not so great haha

[@lneleven1708]

Fantastic set of images!

[@MikeChudley]

Thank you! 👊🏻

[@LuisPerez-fy6up]

Those Fuji colors and dynamic range of the little x100v take out canons big R6 lol

[@MikeChudley]

I'm still blown away by the Fuji haha

[@bcegerton]

Great video Mike, looks like your career is really taking off. I have the Xt3 but really want the R6, not happy with the Fuji, yes it takes great photos but the ergonomics are no good for me personally and I could really do with IBIS. Can I ask, what Film Camera were you using?

[@MikeChudley]

Thank you! I agree about the IBIS, it's those little details you pay for with the R6. The film camera I used was the Canon EOS 300 - literally costs less than £20 haha

[@bcegerton]

@@MikeChudley I’ve got one mate, had it a while and paid a Tenner for it, boxed with lens, I literally ordered a battery for it last night 🤣

[@PureNordicVibe]

So incredibly great video Mike👍Clean street bangers😎 India is a exciting great place ✅ Beautiful people with a positive vibe🎈

Thanks!

[@exery9421]

Bro you just came to India😱

[@travelmemoir]

This video is beautiful!

[@KhanTausifAli]

Dope Video.🔥 Btw I from Mumbai. There are many places for street photography & Architecture in Mumbai and people like when you're taking their photo's. Hope you have great experience & enjoyed here in Mumbai. ❤️

[@MikeChudley]

I had a great time!

[@andrewst7941]

Nice shot! Those photos were edited by lightroom or straight out of fuji camera?

[@MikeChudley]

All edited! Raw files from both the Fuji and canon - edited in lightroom ✌🏻

[@thatonelostkid3749]

those vehicles are called rikshaws

[@MikeChudley]

That's it!

[@isoentro10]

I wonder why did you go for wide lens? Generally, in Indian street, 50mm and above is good as we have so many things going on. So it helps to focus on your subject and perspective more.

[@MikeChudley]

I much prefer wider focal lengths for street. Makes me look for better compositions and if I'm close enough I prefer how it looks. But saying that, 50mm is a lot of fun! I just didn't want to change my gear around much. I like to keep it simple.

[@lxzmarco]

Mike, what is the track that starts playing around 0:15? sounds amazing

[@vladimirdayrit8574]

Now I want to SP in Mumbai, thankls to your video :) How about your safety? How safe is the place? Thanks

[@risingregime568]

few questions for you on this one. About how many photos do you think you clicked, and how many do you think came out nicely? Also did you ride the local trains? those are pretty crazy places for photos for sure

[@willardmiller8702]

Who created the haunting music at the beginning of the video? ✌🏾

[@MikeChudley]

[@Dangermonkey1000]

your camera lacks good after image processing...

[@MikeChudley]

X100v is super slow if you change the clarity on camera.
