Would you have seen this shot? Street photography (Ft. Mark Fearnley Roman Fox & Matt Hall)

[@gregschmigel]

Looked like a fun day with those guys! Thanks for the share.

[@peterjan7878]

Great video, great lessons! Thanks so much again Gareth!

[@opotopo1]

Brilliant stuff. Full of lots and lots of great tips. Thanks Gareth.

[@TimKirkmt]

wow, just loved that, looking at getting back into photography again, and looking at peoples work is so energising, thanks for sharing

[@peterjoseph3839]

Great video Gareth! Like You say - very inspiring to see how they work the scenes 👌👍🔝📸

[@ImagesbyAsh]

Brilliant video, Gareth. So good to see how you, Matt, Mark and Roman work, Wonderful insight.

[@le_boucher]

I find this video more interesting than the previous one. Seeing Matt shoot different things is a delight. Really like his vision.

[@GarethDanks]

Thanks for the comment 😊

[@uncommonplaces]

Another great educational video! Well done ! Really enjoyed these two videos with Mark and Matt

[@wtf1992lynx]

Again, really insightful. Masters at work really. Cheers!

[@Ndpurc]

So very inspiring, fabulous, got so much from this video cheers, Gareth

[@bcegerton]

Loving these videos, goes to show you never stop learning

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

I love seeing how people can find images when there seems like nothing to shoot, it's like being in the woodland and looking for intimate details. I can see how shooting street would help improve your photography skills, great job by all thanks for sharing Gareth.

[@timbliss8777]

Great video Gareth! And Happy birthday. I agree with the guys....nice to join up with friends and see other ways of shooting / catching up (can also help with getting out of a rut)...but solo is when you take the time and keep your eyes open for shots more. The four of you have four different styles so it was a great mix.

[@douglasmccart8963]

Really enjoyed this so inspirational to bring this together in the way you did thanks Gareth

[@GarethDanks]

Hey thanks for the great comment mate. Appreciate that 😊

[@volkerhenschel1882]

Herzlichen Dank für's mitnehmen, es war sehr interessant Euch zuzuschauen.

[@deanc5000]

I liked all three photographers but Matt seems to have an ability to see things that a lot of people can not. I checked out his Instagram and his style reminds me of Saul Leiter.

[@andyrobbins38]

Brilliant video! There's so much I've picked up from this. I just need to remember it and try and put some of it into practice now.

[@whipsnadepoacher]

Enjoyed this, thank you.

[@justice.wilson686]

Just love these vids. Could learn a lot about photography from this. ✌

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Always good to watch your street photos. Some cool images.

I admire your infinite patience (cough) ;) 2 minutes must be a Danks record. Great follow up video. Always look forward to your vlogs, landscape, street or whatever.. F8 is a great way to see other peoples work and the thought process that goes with it.

[@markjagger7139]

Super vlog mate and great images

[@suehodnett6911]

Thanks everyone, that was great👍🏻

[@GarethDanks]

Thanks for the comment sue 😊

[@keyoguitar]

Working a scene can be a learning process. So it's not just about spotting something and taking the photograph: the working of the scene can take you out of your usual vision and help you to discover new things you may not have thought of, if you had just walked on by.

[@jefffiles9209]

Really interesting seeing the approach and results of different photographers. Think the place is improving after years of decline. Cheers Matey

[@teagueshoup]

I feel like Matt is so heavily influenced by Saul Leiter. It’s so reminiscent but also fresh. I love it. (Because Saul is my favorite by a LONG shot)

[@robertdavis1255]

Thanks for sharing your experience out with other photographers....I am like you in some ways as I struggle to see compositions when out in the streets...I am learning so much more when I watch videos like this... cheers from Australia 😀

[@Jasbeeah]

For a moment I thought I was watching Jim Jeffries.

[@michaelgravlund9194]

Thanks for sharing❤. Very inspiring

[@GarethDanks]

You are so welcome!

[@aminmotin]

Definitely interesting to see a variety of styles/ways of seeing in this video. It goes to show that there is no single way to do "street" photography.

[@MikeLangfordGoogle]

Excellent stuff! Very inspiring. I do a lot of street parade photography here in Peru, exciting, very fast pace inside traditional dances, very close-up with equiv 27mm on my old Canon 50D & I get hit around a bit with ropes, clothing etc, nice colourful images capturing moments, but I need to start thinking more abstractly & how to isolate subjects, some top ideas here.

[@PaulHarveyAustralia]

Awesome video. Great tips. Top lesson is to take your time, I think. Really work a scene.

[@terrycharles2287]

Fantastic. Thumbs UP

[@jonfletcher147]

Agree. No pressure shooting alone. Take your time....or speed up.....

[@snapsbyfox]

Pffff 2 seconds…. I last at least 5

[@stevemphoto]

Love this type of content!

[@andrewlunn]

Some good shots from various styles all round there

[@mohamedyazidbitam]

i rally love your video i learned so much thanks a lot

[@mikedavis1986]

Great video as always mate! Keep up the good work. Love this style of realife photography, rather than the standard "5 tips that will help you improve......blah blah blah" You videos are a joy to watch. 👍

[@gharrop1]

Thank you for 2 very thought provoking videos. There is no doubt that these layered techniques can produce amazing often abstract compositions…one thing I struggle with is subject versus composition…an amazing pattern,so to speak can please the eye, but a strong subject matter that requires some concentration and thought to understand can keep longer attention… maybe? Of course when you get both the results are outstanding. Just a thought … not a criticism.

[@TheSadButMadLad]

Some nice ideas for shots.

[@patyeaman]

I know gear was downplayed as a factor but I would really like to know the focal lengths that Matt & Mark prefer for street photography. I loved both of these videos. Thanks!

[@GarethDanks]

Matt uses a 56mm and mark a 18-55. Roman a 35mm all Fuji 😊

[@tdc_2021]

85mm (FFE) 👌🏻

[@daryljohnson9010]

As of September 5, 2021, my area is in the worst part of the pandemic to-date plus my typical street photography route seems to have gun violence almost every day so one tends to stay in. However that means there is time available for learning from others, be it from books of photos from decades past or from KZbin vids such as these. I sure enjoyed this video in particular as seeing others’ techniques and philosophies of practice is very helpful in training one’s sense of observation. Thank you from goofy Portland, OR.

[@paulm8157]

Insightful post. We all see things differently. Our personal styles grow organically, w/influence from others a part of the mix. Q. Gareth, when you give your card to a subject and he/she requests pic via e-mail, how do you match up the (faceless) e-mail sender w/the correct photo?

[@paulasimson4939]

So creative!!

[@desgardner7169]

Very interesting to see how other people get their images! and the secret has been blown! go out alone and get the job done!....thank you...

[@GarethDanks]

Haha. Indeed. Tho I do agree 😊

[@kencox6166]

I have to admit when I saw matt peaking through the glass of the phone box to get a shot I was wondering what planet he was from but I eat my words the shot was good I would have missed that :)

[@ImaPayne03]

What cameras and lenses were used if you can remember and don't mind sharing? Thanks!

[@andynewtonphotography4167]

Welcome to my home town, Enjoyed both vids.

[@ianhargreaves9226]

Great to learn from others that's how we all grow my photos are pretty much point and shot my try and do more abstract shots Great video as per usual 😊

[@GaryGough]

Interesting video 👍🏻👍🏻

[@GarethDanks]

Thanks mate. Hope to catch up soon 😊

[@chriseustace5832]

Great video Gareth 👍

[@Monochromephotos]

Wow 👏😮👏 Sif beautiful

[@NatsWright]

Great video, I'd love to work with street photographers in my region, but so far have not managed to network with any, northumberland is rather sparsely populated! Nice to see that you are all Fuji shooters too, what lenses did you all use on the day? Looked like Matt was on the 56mm F1.2, but was hard to tell from the video!

[@GarethDanks]

Thanks Natalie. Reach out to some camera clubs? I'm sure they'll be up for it. Yes 56mm 18-55, 35mm and I had a 18-55 in this vid

[@NatsWright]

Thanks! I'm in a local camera club, however like most clubs, members are often elderly and have little interest in trips out doing street photography, although I'm hoping to change that with a talk at the club later this month! Thought i'd take the 56mm out for a spin tonight too, just local, with a cinesoft filter!

[@GarethDanks]

Yeah and it goes against.many of their old fashioned ‘rules’ too. Good luck

[@suehodnett6911]

Hi Nathalie, there are a few Street photographers around Newcastle, check out Nostalgia Kid on Instagram, he seems to get involved with other photographers in the area particularly in and around Pilgrim Street.

[@NatsWright]

Thanks Sue! I'll check them out.

[@andybanks3416]

great video Gareth

[@GarethDanks]

Thanks Andy 😊

[@raydunn3501]

Hi Gareth,,, as a follow up from your day out with Matt and Mark,,, go out solo on a sunny day and see what you get,,, Now that you have seen the type of photo's they take then see if you can replicate them,,, with what you learnt,,, be an interesting watch for us guys,,, even if you don't get anything it will be good to see and hear your thoughts. Best wishes

[@macjim]

You missed the shot of the two ladies walking with their Zimmer's as you left the centre and passed the Old Kent Market... The race was on.

[@TungstenOvergaard]

Building at 1:30 1:35 is amazing for a photograph!

[@Woolgarr]

Gareth I have to say I really loved these 2 videos, seeing how Mark & Matt work, it actually got me curious if all 4 of your like the same focal length or you all prefer different lenses/focal length for your types of shots

[@GarethDanks]

Matt uses a 56mm and mark a 18-55. Roman a 35mm I'm a 23 and 50 shooter. all Fuji 😊

[@Woolgarr]

@@GarethDanks Thanks Gareth, that's actually pretty interesting how you guys have your different preferences 😊

[@leemurray9137]

which lens is Matt shooting with? 56mm?

[@adrianguggisberg3656]

Schiiiiet! Sold off my 56mm, can I ever do a street shoot again? 😂

[@carlosmcse]

You waited 2 whole minutes? Wow. Yes if I was looking for those kind of shots. But I don’t look for those kind of shots. You can’t find the things you’re not looking for. But you’ve said the thing. “Maybe you’re doing the wrong style”. And that’s where it dies. When you’re shooting for a style.

[@jimmason8502]

Why does Matt have the lens hood reversed on his camera?

[@broken12367]

Roman is more spray and pray you mean.

[@jolima]

What a lame approach to photography - as if it’s some kind of jigsaw puzzle or pattern knitting competition

[@guyphoto9437]

For really good examples of street photography look up: Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Garry Winogrand, Fan Ho, and Dorthea Lange. What you're seeing here is just BS snapshots. No meaningful content, and nothing that stirs any emotions. Unfortunately KZbin is full of this stuff.

[@snapsbyfox]

I bet you’re fun at a party 🥱

[@matthall5775]

Thanks for the comment Guy. There’s no denying that their work is great, they’re well renowned for a good reason but their work is of their time. Street photography has moved on, progressed, cherry picked inspiration from those mentioned and many more to form sub genres. I personally see this as a good thing. If you’re not a fan then maybe just ignore all contemporary street photographers and revisit them in 25 years?

[@le_boucher]

Yeah, most of us know all of those names and even more. In fact, Garry Winogrand (my favorite) didnt even like the term street photography. But knowing all of them doesn't mean I can't like and understand other types of street photography. There are many ways to do it, more and more with time and that is just lovely. You can't take shots like the ones those you mentioned took in their days. Everyone is different, everyone has its own vision. The world is constantly changing. And speaking about emotion... I do feel many emotions when I look at Matt photos. And Mark photos too. But that's just me. If you don't feel anything looking at their works, I can't -and don't want to- do anything at all about that.

[@aminmotin]

@@snapsbyfox I'm willing to bet he isn't :) There were some great shots in this vid. But of course beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. The whole video has inspired me to try some slightly different ways of shooting.

[@suehodnett6911]

Pretty sure they're more influenced by Saul Leiter than Dorothea Lange etc, the modern world and it's art and photography arrived a while ago...
