6 lessons from 10-hours with Matt Stuart 

Thank you, James, and thanks to Matt, too, for the brilliant tips!!!

Love your video!

Love the video James!🔥

such helpful tips and so different than alot of the content out there. James delivers once again

7:36 hahaha you have a way with words! Thanks for the tips. I need to start focusing on filling the frame more in my images.

Such a well-made video! Thank you for sharing what you learned with us:))

Great content as usual. I am new to photography, and sadly a lot of new age photography is focused on perfect exposure and pixels. I love street photography because it is closer to art than science, and is more about the eye than the camera. Even the idea of shooting at f16 on manual focus would give some photographers an aneurysm. I hope to take photos as wonderfully as you one day!

At 3:23 the image is your best lucky one on this video. That image summarizes street photography.

First!! Biggest fan 😍

You can use autofocus. Set the aperture to f5.6 on MFT mounts, f8 on APS-C, and f11 on FF cameras, using a normal to wider lens, if you are not totally trusting the autofocus speed of obtaining a focus lock-on, then look to where the image distance is to be taken, and half-press the shutter button to get the range closer. When you snap the image, using a good camera and lens which is quick to focus, you should have the shot. If you feel the need to manual focus, and have good young eyes, of course manual is always that option. On thing about using autofocus, however, is that if you do find something more interesting going on in a different zone, say up close, you can swing the camera and get that shot. And you do not have to be as concerned about using a more open aperture. I recommend for those starting out in photography to use the most forgiving lens -- the 50mm in FF. It helps with composing, while showing no distortions, in normal use. And they need to know that f16 works for full frame, but with Micro Four Thirds and APS-C lenses can lead to disfraction, so only needed for close ups where background needs to be seen clearly. I mean really close. Most wider lenses, used with MFT and APS-C can be set to f2.8 to f5.6 on MFT and f5.6 to f8 with APS-C and get the depth you need. When I see someone walking that looks interesting, I immediately look for the best background they might approach, and move to a better location. Getting run-over in the process is not recommended however. One problem is when the person notices you focusing on that spot, as they tend to turn the head towards your shot, so you almost have be stealth, or then look to something else, then swing the camera back. But yes, I do have back of the head shots. :)) Take care, and thanks the video, Loren

OMG - I have shot that exact picture of the guy with the Jesus sign at 4:18….. Oh, interesting video by the way! Keep up the great work!

jus thinking.......what if this "Trust in the process" thingy is serious. what if James parsons is an arsenal fan.....

The sunglasses tip works. I stopped getting assaulted and called out. No joke. And my Ray Bans are polarized...so not good with evf viewfinders and screens anyhow.

At about 5:10 you forgot to put the video over your shoulder

Food for thought but all of these tips are basically meaningless if privacy laws are implemented. Is that something you/Matt is concerned about?
