A great video Peter & Thomas. I follow both of your channels, but this was special to see you work together and hear you talk about the photographic process. Many things resonated for me, but especially Peter's comment about remembering the power of a memory, and then Thomas' observations on tourist vs. reportage photography. I did a lot of tourist snapshots for many years, and Peter is spot on describing how even the "worst" image will trigger powerful memories, so I always have a camera with me and shoot a lot. However, over the years I think I'm doing more of what Thomas describes as telling a story. I try to tell the story of my trip in a way that captures what I saw and did, as well as take the casual and informal shots. As for "killing your darlings", I shoot a lot (seems like a lot) so I do a first pass culling out images that are not good and/or won't have memory value. Then I make a copy of what remains and brutally cull out everything that doesn't make me smile. I feel free to do this because I have a backup set of images in case I change my mind. After a third pass, for final choices I'm usually good with my decisions.

Glad to see interviews for a change. We need more photography talks in KZitem. Question, when does documentary becomes street and visa versa? I think they overlap quite well. Btw. One of my fave shots in Estonia this summer was a tourist photographing a green lada. I got them documented or "streeted" if you will. Subbed for Eisl too.

This is the best commentary on the roller coaster of feelings when shooting on the street. I start by feeling so rusty and build up to a confident high before I just get too tired (and hungry) to shoot any more. Maybe the hardest thing to explain to a beginner is that you have to shoot more shots but less shots. There has to be some purpose or value to a scene but then go for it because you cannot be sure which frames will work and which won’t. As Melissa O’Shaughnessy says “shoot loose, edit tight” Thank you guys for a very valuable video.

Also can feel like hunting of game. Peter this change in your video style has taken you down a great path.

11:55 is my biggest problem. I have forced out so many average and bad photos because I’m biased by the great memories they invoke. It also works the other way. I’ve been told I have several strong images that I can’t be bothered with because they remind me of unpleasant memories. This is why I feel critiquing from an unaffected third party is critical. It may sting a little, but sometimes you need to be told your baby is ugly.

Great video. For me when I travel I take shots as a visual diary of my time there. Memories, I may have a pre-conceived idea so some of these might be of "the sights" because family back home like these but it's the incidental images that I find of most value when I look back thru' the digital 'contact sheet'. I would probably take less than your 2 days worth in the same time Peter.

Thanks for sharing. Yes, I agree that memories are important. I also think that over photographing is not the best way. You are really considering what you photograph. The amount is not much. i think it most likely gives better images too than if you were photographing a ton of photos.

In addition I will do some personal 'memory' shots.

I liked it a lot. I was talking about his use of red in the video. That is precisely what he used again when we were photographing on the streets of Vienna. It is pretty clear that he is a fashion photographer just by looking at his choice of subjects and style when photographing street photos. It is a nice bleach style if one could call it that, and at the same time, the colors are quite bright. I really liked it.

I hate post selecting, so I tend to pre-select by observation. And when I immediately know it's rubbish I delete the photo right away, so it won't take me long to post select. Maybe also because I'm anxious to start processing the photos I already know I like...

That is one way of dealing with the problem of too many imagers. I never delete an image from the camera. The screen is too small to be sure what the image looks like when viewed from a bigger screen.

I see an essential difference between documentary photography and street photography in the use of depth of field. A document requires an unambiguous, and therefore sharp, representation of the surroundings, i.e. a high depth of field, whereas pure street photography concentrates on a specific object and prefers to isolate it from the background with a shallower depth of field. Although pure street photography should also create a reference to the background, a certain lack of sharpness in the background should and may be consciously accepted.
@ForsgardPeter
12 күн бұрын
At least in classical street photography small aperture was widely used. In my opinion documentary and street photography does not differ taht much when it comes to depth of field. I think the biggest difference is that in street photography can be just a pleasing visualy interesting image. In documnetary it has to tell something. Of course in street photography an image with a story is more powerful than just a pretty image.

After you have taken enough photographs in your life, you get a sense of what will work. With digital, of course you can take more, and there is nothing wrong in that, or is there? At a certain point you get sloppy and lose the concentration you had when you shot film and every shot was important. Don't get lazy. If you shoot one to three shots, you should be able to nail one down each subject. Taking 30 to 50 shots most days is more than enough. If traveling, then more of course. You'll know it when you see it, unless you luck-out and get the unexpected within the frame you did not actually see when taking a shot. This happens a few times per year. When out on the street I want to be light and free of carrying of gear and more like just another man walking about their day, thus no backpack. You two had a great day of photographing, and that is very important. Should it ever become drudgery, then it is the time to quit and find that something next. It needs to excite the soul. Take care, Loren
