Great Video

No one gives you the actual street photography tip. How do you not make people and the authorities uncomfortable while taking 100s of photos on the streets? How do you become invisible? What are the kind of legal repercussions that you must be aware about?

@@sameersinha7799 Let me try and give some tips. I started doing street photography more seriously and since I am more of a quiet photographer I have found some ways to do it with confidence. 1. Don't hang around for too long, try and take the photo and keep moving. 2. Once you have your eyes on someone you want a picture of, focus on the screen or the viewfinder rather than making eye contact with them. 3. And my last tip would be to get out there are snag photos, start taking photos as if they are yours because they are. It has helped me become way more confident because I take my photos with people in them as if I don't care what other people might think. It isn't illegal or anything so I take the pictures I want. At some point I lost the social anxiety and became open to people.

He reminds me of my great grandpappy. A great guy.

Ugly is beautiful

@@cxrdz6037 beautiful can be ugly

But ass is never beautiful 😂

Use it to your advantage.

Use it to your advantage! Do a photography series on dystopian cities.

I appreciate that very much.

@@professorhineschoice dude you made it easy for me to understand. You are great at what you do. I hope I'm close to being as good as you 1 day

sure thing! anything specific you would like to request?

Mainly indoor videography and the focus and the exposure, mostly I creat online courses. And you are the best one I saw explaining Sony cameras difficult setup 😆 Thanks again.

well, if you dont have a good background stick to 1.8 :D

@@ikemya Sony cameras difficult setup? been shooting with a SONY RX10 professionally for over 5 years now. I always shoot in shutter priority (for both stills and video). if you are shooting video at 30 fps you can expose anywhere up to 1/40 of a second to deal with low light if that is an issue. I set my ISO to a range of 100-1600 so the camera can adapt to any extreme changes in lighting without me having to make any additional adjustments..

Yeah that was a big "wow" for me in how much it changed the entire feel of the picture

Cruz n the World i see this is going to be a common comment on this video 😂

Yup. Beat me to it

had the same in mind :D :D

I was thinking JJ

Dave Chappelle should do a street photography skit on this guy. xD

Ken Guidry same here ):

Same.

depends on where you live as well. I spent 3 months in New York this summer and while I was there I bought a used camera and began taking photos. When I was taking photos of people on the street they were all really chill about it, some of them even stopped and posed. Meanwhile, back home, people aren t so open minded and most of them are actually bothered that you took their photo and they make you delete it. Mentality difference

use the streetscape or bushes to sort of hide yourself then.

@@RedroomStudios that'll honestly make me feel more awkward hiding and taking shots lol , at events it's no problem because people expect to be on camera ...I'll eventually break out of this shell (or atleast attempt to)

How did it go? I'm gonna give it a try this weekend.

King Ares it went good. My IG looks amazing now. I shoot video but I think I’m in love with street photography.

Yessss, hopefully the same :)

and guess who is gonna go in prison now

Mango Steel what’s your IG?

I’m watching this as a new film photographer and i was thinking the same thing

Sparkfly JEF please expand your comment.

@@phatcrayonz the way he backs up why he did something a certain way, in simple terms everyone can understand

Michael Mehta thanks!!!!

Yo. You have some untapped talent for street photos! I wanna see more of that! :D

Jason Vong next time I'm in NY! 😁

Come back to japan!

appleonmondays Thanks! 😯🥰

THEY ARE AMAZING!!!

why? they look really random, nothing personal in them?

These are snaps but I guess you haven't seen proper street photography for example William Klein

Then use a TLR and they won't notice you

I just started a few days ago actually asking them to take some photos, using a 35mm (on a crop sensor) instead of using a 55-200mm at a long distance, unoticed hahahaha. I have to say: it's really nice when people go for it and say it's ok. You should try as well ;D

@@henriquerosendo7046 True but sometimes you need to take the picture before asking, because of the moment. And of course, you should tell them after the picture about it. They might even love it to death.

True street photography is about candid images of people in real life. It's what makes street photography so challenging and rewarding.

Just pretend you're invisible. Literally. That's what I do. If someone looks at me weird I just pretend like they dont exist

Don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle

Tjaša t thanks for the kind words. i will use this feeling as a challenge to be better. But maaan I never thought those photos were even possible. They look so amazing.

J M it is beautiful indeed; actually jaw dropping honestly but you can go out and replicate till you develop your own style nothing wrong with that

@@fadysalem3539 Thanks for the kind words man. I'm shooting more now. Seeing other's photos made me realize that there's still more to learn. The only question is if I'm willing to learn it.

news flash: there are no levels!

Jason Vong great video.. gonna have to play with an 85mm what ya think a good buy for a A7iii?

I decided to go with the Zeiss Batis 85mm and Ive been loving it! Sony 85mm 1.8 is absolutely banger too!

Jason Vong thanks for the tips broski!!

@professorhines got a new follower.Great tips and great video :)

Hellow idol. You makee me inpired

lol!

Joel Kleiner No, most of my images are color, but some are edited B&W or I create two versions with a color and B&W version.

lmaooo

Jason is an amazing person to know and is a reason I agreed to interview with him. I've never done this for anyone else, but his love for helping people is what I enjoy and even though things like this I don't really do I went through it regardless. Anyone who's willing to help others is a person I'm happy to know. =)

Great one they👊

Same here

I appreciate this very much. Thanks so much!

=)

Jason Vong - my fav camera you-tuber!

There's a long response I'd make to this, but I can't type all of that lol... I mentioned primes to not say that's the only way to capture street, as I have quite a few with the 24-70mm and my 16-35mm lenses as well. This is how I shoot, using primes for my work vs zooms but my point is for people to use what they have, but here's my reasons for prime lenses for street. =)

thanks mate, your videos are quick, efficient and straight to the point, I got the notification button on for u

I am wondering which presets Keeneth is using for the pics. It has always enough of light

I started using a 50mmf2 on my FujiXPro3 during the pandemic and now it's my go-to focal length for street photography. Great video.

i prefer m sayang 85mm f1.4 for street photography because you can get easy nice sneaky shots and most people did not see that you take shots

Liane Reyes there’s mixed opinion about it, but i share them with no harm intended. I’m not selling them to companies or as stock photos, which I don’t agree with some doing but I never share photos that shows anyone in a negative way. The photos i take i wish people got to see to be honest but it’s impossible to always do that depending on the situation.

legally, NO is the answer in most places. Public space. However, if someone has the expectation of privacy then no. Also, if it's for commercial use then you need permission. For personal or gallery (social media), no.

In the UK it's legal.

You don't need permission from them in public spaces. You don't own your face in public settings. So legally you can take a photo of anybody or anything and do whatever with it

Minority Nomad dude I photographed in Japan

=) Thanks. Many assume online that I don't make mistakes and I have quite a few that were absolutely wrong, but I made it work.

I know photographers that shoot and then don't look at the photos for 6 months. This makes them more objective when evaluating the photos. I'm not one of those people, but I have found that by going back and looking at old photos, I initially rejected, I've discovered some gems.

Thanks

😯 Wow, thanks!

I literally shot 6.3 the other day around Mt. Fuji instead of 1.8 just because of his advice!

I think it's down to choice/intent. And focusing distance. At close focusing distance, even f/4 is going to have a thin depth of field at 85mm. The further you are from your subject, the bigger the depth of field at any given aperture. So it's a double edged sword that you have to be mindful of. I've shot at 1.8 plenty, but I generally stop it down to 2.2 or 2.8 just to get rid of any excess chromatic aberration and vignetting and a little boost in corner sharpness. Most 85mm lenses aren't their best optically until f/4-f/5.6, then it's downhill after about f/8. But sometimes people just want to challenge themselves too. What can I get if I force myself at only f/1.8 today? What can I get if I force myself to only f/4? And it's those challenges that can make you think differently. If you only follow a laid out set of rules, you will never do anything original. You'll be looking at things like "Well he said I gotta do f/6 to get more context, thems the rules". If you spend too much time trying to use someone elses formula, you will never invent your own, and that will be as good as if you're taking THEIR picture, and just holding the camera for them. It is really important to have intuition to know when to use what aperture, and to do that, you must understand your lens characteristics through usage. Sometimes what's in focus is all that matters, and the background won't add anything useful by being less blurred. Sometimes it makes it more magical. Sometimes you don't want people to know where they are. Heck, I've personally taken it a step further and tinkered with even lower DOF than 1.8 can offer, by using weak macro filters, which can turn 1.8 into an even more razor thin DOF and even add special characteristics to the blur regardless of the aperture. Typically in street photography, you're not at infinite focus, so you might lose infinite focus, but you won't really need it anyways. And that's what I mean about finding your own style by not adhering to someone elses rules. Don't underestimate the power of thin DOF, it's trickier to utilize, but can pay off big when utilized properly, and to be able to utilize it properly takes experience. So if people think "Oh I should never shoot 1.8", they will never have the experience needed to have the intuition to know when to use it. 1.8 may be used a lot mistakenly by newbies, but it does take more professional insight to utilize it properly. It's hard mode, while f/6 is easy mode because of all the slack you get with that extra DOF. And sometimes, the difficulty is what makes photo's that much more meaningful to the person taking it, and stick out among the crowd of other photographers.

@@peoplez129 You said a lot there and I could only skim over that at the moment lol... but of what I read I don't disagree. These are things I would have shared, but that would be an hour long video. I've shared these same points on IG on specific images. One thing you pointed out is something many I have in my community don't get... where you talked about DoF and distance! THAT'S EXACTLY IT!! I'm asked a lot on how I can use an 85mm but everyone in a photo is sharp... and it's because of the distance to my subject being greater... so the DoF plane is wider.

85mm changed my life! Got a video coming out on it soon!

This actually just happened a few hours ago actually with a new photo I just posted lol! They were thrilled!

thanks homie!

Legally? Yes. Don't know how people feel about it though, depends on the person

I agree, this is one of the biggest lessons I pulled from him also. 📸 👍🏼

Jon Jags Nee Awe thanks!

YEP! He’s a legend!

Chris Rock wow thanks!

Sweet! I’d love to feature more pros on my channel! I also get to learn so much and happy to provide a platform for others to share their stories!
