I was really into landscape photography.. after a while learning photography and stumble upon street photography I quickly change my style to it. It is rewarding indeed but very time consuming and energy, at the end of the day on post production you'll have that "one" sick photo and felt great to achieve!

For me, for every 50 shots I’ll be lucky to get a good one, it’s really one in every 200 at least that I get a banger. I totally agree, it’s so rewarding.

Oh nice! I started with more landscape as well but was always drawn to street photography. I was just a bit hesitant getting started so if I can help anyone shoot a bit more, that’s the goal! You’re both right, sometimes I’ll shoot a whole day and get nothing I absolutely love. Starting to enjoy those days too though, focusing on getting whatever I can or experiment a bit more on those days. It is rewarding when you get something you’re really happy with but even those days you can’t, I see them as good practice 🙏

I've been shooting abstract street photography for a couple decades and I really like the tip of not getting up into people's faces. When I started, I was told that was wrong because it is just not how to do it. I think it is great to see younger photographers telling people there is not a concrete, boxed in way of doing street photography.

One thing about the gear: find the smallest, lightest lens you can find that's still in that 28-50 range for street just because you want your camera always with you. Or just get a Fuji X100 of any variant.

Good tips! I see videos on other channels where they don't seem to know what to show or photograph😮After 11 years of photography as an amateur, I can say that it is impossible not to do a good job 🎉However, you need an eye for beauty and to trust yourself that it doesn't cost you anything 😅 One remark is that good photos do not always have to contain people and everyone should find their own style and what they consider interesting to photograph 😮My style is on details, reflection and abstract 🍻 Keep up with good work 💯🔥

Very good subject to talk about well your videos are getting better and better and i do appreciate that alot, I do agree with you about the gear because its always and has been always about the photographer not the gear and i do consider my self as an example, I do have a Sony A7 and A6700 but recently i bought a Canon 20D so i can enjoy the CCD sensor look, This made me a better photographer and it forced me to slow down so i can nail the shot in the right way, Street Photography can be done with any type of gear like an old DSLR with a cheap 50 mm its more than enough to enjoy SP, Thank you so much for this amazing video, At last since you are a Canon user i do recommend that you buy an old cheap DSLR because its a joy to use old technology....

Here's a tip that you already know but new shooters may not. A crop sensor camera is actually better in a lot of cases because of the depth of field you get compared to a full frame. Pair that with a wide angle lens and you have a setup that's hard not to get focus with. Why is this important or an advantage? You can shoot at wider apertures and still get a good depth of field. This will allow in more light in low light situations. Another advantage to having a wide depth of field is that you can set up a zone focus. Focus on something that's 2 meters away and just about anything that walks in front of you will be in focus. You can stop down to f/8 just to be sure. You don't even have to raise your camera up to your eye and focus on a subject. You can even turn the auto focus off. I started shortening my camera strap so my camera is higher on my chest. I just walk around with my finger on the shutter button and turn my body so the camera is pointed at what I'm wanting to take pictures. You can get a lower perspective that way.

It’s funny when I started I shot with 85mm then an 80-135mm with an SLR. Now I shoot 28mm fixed lens point and shoot. I use to be scared of shooting a subject so I thought larger focal lengths would help me but it just got boring. I realized shooting a scene of multiple subjects than just 1. People don’t care as much.

I disagree about settings... For me settings are key to capturing an image quickly, discreetly and in the moment. For my X100V, I find using manual/zone focus, an ISO range that covers the daylight, f8/f11 in aperture priority, quiet shutter.. All these things add up to taking a quick discreet shot.

Nice video but when I see such material I always think 'mostly people with professional cameras tell you that you don't need professional camera....' As for studying others.. I would really like to promote quite the opposite. When starting, it might be intimidating when trying to be as the 'great ones' and also all photos are really similar. Take a look at FUJI users... 'HIGH contrast, Shadow and light'.. this is all the same what they are doing.. as if other photos cannot be made with Fuji cameras...:/

Thanks for the comment! Gear is a tricky one, of course it can help, it may even motivate you to get out and shoot more which is a good thing. But it's certainly not everything and it's far too easy for people to get fixated on. Having the best camera and lens setup money can buy, will not make anyone a good photographer on its own. Studying others I can only speak for myself and it's something I wish I had started doing much sooner. Studying some of the great street photographers has really helped build my understanding and grow my perspective on street photography. Its very inspiring and rewarding to me and motivated me to improve. This again can show that the camera really isn't that important, seeing some of the incredible images that were shot on old, very basic film cameras still blows me away.

I mean this in the least disrespectful way as possible to the person in this video, but this is just a perfect example of why photography youtube could be SO much better. "Gear doesn't matter". Literally next sentence "But if you want my advice, buy the new mirrorless camera from Canon that's like $1500 just for the body". I understand right after this they reiterate that the best camera is the one you have..but where do you think new people get this idea they need the latest mirrorless camera or something? Seriously why plug the R8 if you're not trying to do that
