*As a retired - X War-Photographer* --- here are 6 more important tips - *No 1 - Don't waste time* 2 - Use a moderate wide-angle lens - 35mm ~ 28mm - if you're not in close - you're not in close enough. 3 - Use the viewer just briefly - then flip the mirror out of the way - so that when you press the shutter - it makes almost no sound. 4 - Stop down the Aperture to maximize the amount of the image that is in focus. Also practice framing the shot without looking through the viewfinder. 5 - A good photographer 'knows' the angle of coverage in the shot - without needing to look into the view-finder. Practice this technique until it becomes second nature. 6 - In dicey situations that required stealth - I would sling the camera over my shoulder - with the 'timer' set & the mirror in the up position. These shots were often dramatic.

I occasionally use my "stand out like a sore thumb and be obvious" technique. I'll bring my ols 4×5 Graphlex or Speedgraphic plate camera. Within minutes youl have a small croud around you admiring a vintage camera and asking questions about it. Here's the fun part - these people are perfect cover for you to take candids. People will notice the small crowd before they notice your camera. And if tgey do notice you've taken their photo, they usually join the crowd. The best part is that ypu can tell people exactly what ypu are doing.

@ABC-sc2ip 11 дней назад

1. Dress up while dressing down your colors. Blacks, browns, greys. Nice khakis, a clean button-down shirt, maybe even a sportscoat. People are less likely to get nervous or suspicious of a person dressed nice using a camera. 2. Don't make eye contact. The minute you make eye contact with a subject, they are acutely aware of you. 3. No rapid movements. Don't jerk the camera to your eye. Don't dance around the subject. Move like a panther. Slow, steady. Stand still. On a crowded street people will walk right passed you standing still and never notice you.

@carlmcneill1139 10 дней назад

A technique I use a lot is simply have the camera hanging on my neck with a strap and take the photos without looking through the viewfinder. I use a zone focus at f/5.6 to f/11. I shoot in manual mode so I can control the shutter speed and aperture but I use auto ISO. I'm usual at 1/500 speed. I focus on a spot on the ground in front of me. Anything that comes into the zone will be in focus. I can be looking the other way and take a photo. I use a 28mm on a full frame. I have a 40mm lens I also use but it's a little trickier using the no look method.

@@huntercreatesthingsStreet photography *with* a smartphone is obviously easier in general, but another one I've done is bring the phone up to my face and squint while blocking out the sun from it with my other hand, as if trying to read small text . I'll also sometimes take a picture of something up high, then pretend I'm bringing my phone up to my eye level to preview (also blocking the sun from the screen with my other hand).

One time someone asked me if I took their picture, clearly agitated, and I just said "DID IT FINALLY TAKE? DID YOU SEE WHAT BUTTON I PRESSED?" Situation over, guy actually tried to help me find my shutter.

@orthicon9 6 дней назад

When Vivien Maier was using a twin-lens reflex camera (held at chest-level), she'd be looking down at it to frame and focus. This is way less "in your face" so people wouldn't be as aware of her camera. Plus the slight upward angle had several advantages.

@wathog01 3 дня назад

Here's one I found the most useful: use stereotypes to your advantage. People generally love artists but hate paparazzi, understandably so. If a guy wearing beanie, fishing jackets and sandles carrying a large camera with a big bag, I don't like to be in front of that camera. But if someone dresses like a gentleman with a Hasselblad pointing at me, I feel like I must be a very artistic subject worthy of his attention. Using this perspective you can get so much more opportunities and even very friendly dialogues with people on the streets, which I think is the best part of street photography.

@steven1000000000 11 дней назад

Another is letting the subject walk into your frame pretending to focus on something else. This way, it creates a feeling that even if they realised that you took the photo, it was their mistake and normally you get a "I'm sorry".

@huntercreatesthings 11 дней назад

@Francois_L_7933 9 дней назад

@@huntercreatesthings I do a variation on this. I focus on the subject and hold the camera in position very still taking cues from the background on the subject's actual position. I pop my head from behind the camera, smile and pretend that I'm letting them walk-by. Then, at the right moment, click, and I go back to pretending like I'm taking a picture of the background. Works surprisingly well.

@GMTA_jacob 8 дней назад

People are so self-centered, shy and perceptive where I live that they almost always walk around the shot whenever I post up somewhere. People don’t just walk through the shot because they think they’re messing up a video or photo ur taking… tried it alot, didn’t work most the time

@Tekker2234 5 дней назад

This method is a great one. I started photography doing landscape photos and when I started taking photos of people this came naturally to me. In the transition I also ended up effectively combining this with the third tip from the video. I was taking pictures of interesting scenery in spots that people would often walk past. This made it seem like I wasn't focusing on the people I was taking photos of and gave me a good mix of landscape photos and candid photos. The only problem that I have with this approach is that people often wait for me to finish taking photos or go out of their way to not block the shot. The approach of taking actual landscape photos alongside the ones with people also helped a lot with my lack of confidence in taking photos of people. I didn't need to work very hard to sell the idea that I was taking photos of landscapes and I could also kind of lie to myself and say that that was all that I was doing.

@Tekker2234 5 дней назад

@@GMTA_jacobin my experience, that's not them being self centered or shy, but more often them trying to be considerate and not block your shot. My advice to partially get around this is to take photos of people at intersections, or on sidewalks or park paths. Try to stand somewhere where it would be inconvenient for people to walk around you. This way more people will just walk through the frame rather than walking around you. Some people will still wait for you to finish, in those cases just snap a photo and lower the camera to let them pass. Also consider where and when you are taking photos. During rush hour and the evening commute more people are going to be concentrating on getting to work/home than on anything else so you get more candid photos at that time. They also are more likely to just ignore you even if they do notice you as they are more focused on getting to their destination. Taking photos in more crowded environments is also good, try a main shopping street or busy intersection. I would also employ one of the techniques found in the video to be less noticable. The third one wouldn't really help but I find fiddling with the camera as if you don't know what you are doing to be very effective in that regard. Try to make it seem like you are struggling with your settings or the camera as a whole and people will assume you aren't really taking photos. This can be really good if you are taking pictures on your phone and your camera app has manual settings as most people wouldn't recognize that you are taking pictures if they see you fiddling with the screen.

@noichiboy 4 дня назад

That's how I unintentionaly started street photography. I've always tried to capture scenes and mood of my daily life just so that I can express what I was feeling at the moment and I fell in love with those characters that came in the frame. As you said it, it's quite easy to take a photo of people if you make it look natural, as if you aren't trying to shoot them.

@huntercreatesthings 3 дня назад

Nice! Completely agree

@Blackbirddc 8 дней назад

I use number 3 A LOT. It's sooo easy. People never think I'm taking their photo. I'll also set up in a spot with a scene I like and wait for someone interesting to pass by. I'll be taking pictures in that direction the whole time so they think nothing of it.

@huntercreatesthings 8 дней назад

Number three is definitely underrated!

@mobilebloggingguy 13 дней назад

I’ve used a variation of technique iii. Take a stance facing subject but turn your torso facing something interesting to photograph. Come to the spot looking around so that when you stop you are not facing your subject if digital you will have already set a delay timer. Take the fake photo then turn towards the subject and appear to be looking at the screen for the fake photo while the timer triggers the actual photo. When I first did this it was out side of a coffee shop/ice cream place in Toronto on Roncy call the Cherry Bomb above the door was a great big red cherry bomb. The guy I shot was a huge guy, looked like a biker, eating an ice cream while looking straight at me, non the wiser.

@dillimeinbilli 14 дней назад

I do use trick 3 and it definitely does work. But I'm quite bad at being stealth or sneaky in a public place I'm too aware of myself. I'll sometimes do the drive by, but like I'm shooting everything and I've got nothing to hide, just take the picture and walk away. If I spot someone whose portrait I want to take, I usually make eye contact and smile and just shoot. If I'm shooting digital, sometimes I will show my images to whoever it is I'm shooting on the street, specially if we make eye contact. It usually makes them feel good to be involved in the photo and you can have a bit of a chat. Just today, I had a flower seller in the bazaar strike up a conversation, about what I do with the pictures I was taking, I showed him some pictures I'd taken in the past and he was really nice about it. I have a friend who brings his mini printer with him sometimes when traveling and gives pictures to folks.

Thank you for the video! I have been on street photography for years, but my experience with people photography has been so low due to my anxiety disorders and frustrations, constantly worrying about getting yelled at after getting noticed (and I did once get yelled at... for taking photos of a 20+ years old Hyundai). So far my attempts at being invisible was "holding and looking at my phone while focusing the camera to the subject", hip shot, and pretend like I'm testing out the camera with sony a7's silent shooting. But those attempts usually ended up with unfocused and shaken images. Not only techniques, but now I feel less anxious for the shots I take and will take, and realized that just dying in anxiety will lead me to nowhere. Hoping to try out these techniques asap with new attitude in photos. Subscribed!

@KristovMars 2 дня назад

I don't really do street per-se, but I'm keen to give it a go as I try new subjects to capture. My shoots are mostly done whilst urban exploring, so my subjects are typically inanimate. But anyway your story of getting yelled at for shooting a car is a bit surprising. I love snapping unusual cars, but I always ask if there's an obvious owner nearby (not sure why ... probably equal parts being respectful and opening up opportunity for a chat) - and I've never had someone say no, and most times I get a quick history of the vehicle too!

@mcknackus4721 11 дней назад

I haven't done much in terms of street photography, but I took my first early steps in it during the eclipse earlier this year. The first picture I took with my dinky OnePlus6t was of a vintage mailbox in a historic area of a Texas town at night with some excellent string lights and a restaurant behind it. It was almost a macro shot, but I managed a nice bokeh. While I was taking a shot my dad yelled my name, jolting me back to reality. Then I heard "Excuse me sir, what are you doing?" from a lady eating dinner with her family 30 feet from the mailbox, and they happen to be dead-center behind it from my shot. Apparently it was maybe the 3rd or 4th time they tried to ask, but I was in the zone. After stuttering for a bit, I just answered "oh, I'm trying to get into photography. I took a picture of the mailbox" I didn't have much more of an answer than that, but they accepted it, probably realizing I was a tourist. I will say, probably didn't help that I was using a smartphone. My dad heavily advised me against trying to take more pictures with people in the shot (which also ruined another shot I tried to line up, which wasn't even directly at people, but ehh). I plan to just get smarter with it, and just use it as an opener for conversation in the future, cus it doesn't have to be awkward when you have nothing to hide. Probably will get a real pocket sized camera though. I feel that'd put more people at ease.

I'm an amateur, but taking photos with the camera on a short tripod, hand held and using a remote control for the shutter tends to leave folk looking at you, then at the lens then back to you...I've had some fun with this even indoors and very close up. Pairing my smartphone to my Sony a6500 has allowed me to be looking at my phone while shooting (shutter release on the phone) - also works.

If you're at a large local event, or gathering of people, especially around a specific time of year (IE graduation time here in the US like it is right now), and you happen to see a large group of people dressed up and congregated in public place ( in front of the local ice cream joint for instance), and just don't photograph anyone in particular, then get in and get out after a few minutes, most people will probably assume "oh, he works for the local paper or something", and no one's the wiser.

Great! I'll try the grandpa method, looks like fun. Unless they call an ambulance. Or the police 🤣... I add to your tips: • Use ANOTHER -inanimate or animal- subject, like a bird, an empty bench that it's at similar distance to your intended subject, to set up focus, speed, aperture. Then switch casually to your subject and shoot 😉 • Use a mirrorless and turn the electronic shutter on, and all sounds off. Cons are rolling shutter, and banding from fluorescent lights, but you gain a 100% silent shoot

@joiscara7191 6 дней назад

When people don’t know the lens whether it be wide or narrow, you’ll be stationary with a scene, have your designated subject walk in, take the photo, but don’t follow through until after they pass you. My instructor back in high school trained us on this tactic and it freaking worked. There’s been times where I just stayed put as if I was still focusing on the “shot”. Ultimately, a waist level viewfinder on a Pentax 67 is so much easier than an eye level viewfinder.

I thought "aimbot" meant something else though, thought it was something similar to what I sometimes do, which is to gauge the focus distance of my subject on something else of similar distance, half press, and then steal a shot at the subject without looking into the VF.

@huntercreatesthings 4 дня назад

Nice! Zone focus is such a gamechanger

the best tip. Be confident. Not just with taking photos. It helps with EVERYTHING

@huntercreatesthings 10 дней назад

Very real. Absolutely life changing growing more confident ... May or may not be what next week's video is all about 🤫

i got almost yelled at and thrown beercans at from 20 meters buy just having a 5dmk3 with a big lens dangling from my neck… that changed: try a small camera , an innocent point anshoot. i tried first a g10 (when i put a bit gaffa tape on the logo noone looked a the camera anymore) now a tiny grd3. next wear a colourful shirt with the name of the city your in, wear a cheap neon rucksack, on of those stupid hats and flip flops would help. in short: look like a dumb tourist. no photographer black ninja gear at all!

@huntercreatesthings 8 дней назад

Honestly tourist mode is so effective it almost feels like cheating

Step 2 is natural for me since I am so new. "woops lol, forgot to cock the shutter" "shit, I didnt advance the film first. Another double exposure" "Dammit, the settings were way off" "woops, forgot to cock the shutter again".....

@huntercreatesthings 8 дней назад

You're a natural hahaha

For me people change what they're doing to not wreck the shot. But they are the shot!

I have used the 3rd one for years as long as you just never make eye contact with the person you should never have any trouble.

@huntercreatesthings 3 дня назад

Perfect for me since I don't do that anyway

@babettesfeast6347 13 дней назад

I hold the camera in front of me at chest height staring at the back screen talking to myself. People assume you are live-streaming or shooting a video.

@huntercreatesthings 12 дней назад

Also a great technique!

@iangeorge7913 11 дней назад

Great tips! I actually got assaulted once for taking a guys photo, and while the dude was clearly unhinged and I probably would have set him off no matter what, I think it was the fact I tried to take a sneaky hip shot that he noticed that made everything worse (unfortunately he began by grabbing for my camera and yelling at me to delet it so it wasn't really possible to de-escalate or talk him down =(

@huntercreatesthings 11 дней назад

Ah that sounds horrible - hope you managed to get out of it ok!

5:40 in some countries taking a picture of a stranger is doing something wrong and it is punishable by fine or even jail time. So check Your Countries law first, before You listen to a stranger on RU-vid.

The second one is even better if You got one of them angle finders attached on Your film camera - most people when they actualy notice, they rarely understand - see an old camera, the guy looks down.. idk but whatevs

@huntercreatesthings 6 дней назад

Honestly the one thing that will eventually push me to buy a Nikon F3 hahaha

@swanseamale47 10 дней назад

One trick I've seen used was put the camera up (shoot) then look at the lens and clean it, maybe point it up at sky as if there's something on the lens or sensor. People think you testing the camera, or have a problem.

@huntercreatesthings 10 дней назад

That's clever, haven't tried that one!

@sergeyfilat4238 4 дня назад

I use a different technique. My small Ricoh street photography camera doesn't have a viewfinder. I bought a thumb rest grip and can take pictures while holding the camera in one hand. No one can even understand what I'm filming because it looks like I'm just holding the camera in my hand. To ensure I don't miss my subject, I use burst mode and snap distance mode. It was difficult at first, but after some time you can feel the correct direction of the camera and the correct distance to the subject.

@huntercreatesthings 4 дня назад

Snap distance mode on the GR3 is so good!

@stevesvids 13 дней назад

I'm definitely a Winogrander type 🙂lol .. plus the never eye contact method. Sometimes though... I dont think about any of that and I just take the dam shot and go. Oh yes. 😄

@huntercreatesthings 13 дней назад

Hahaha nice - sometimes you just gotta take the shot no matter what

@prntm926 8 дней назад

In Poland, in big cities street photo had became very, very difficult. People are just obsessed about their privacy. Man with the camera is considered as a deviant, or - I don't know -paparazzi thing.. I've got to practice some techniques and buy smaller lens. Thanks!

@huntercreatesthings 8 дней назад

You're welcome! I'm based in Warsaw and it is trickier than the UK for sure!

@IkarusFlight 10 часов назад

Or, if you use a modern camera, just connect it to your phone and take pics while staring at your phone using it as a remote.

@huntercreatesthings 9 часов назад

Also a super technique! Unfortunately my most up to date stills camera is old enough to be in high school 💀

@Broken_Orbital 9 дней назад

act and dress casual, don't look where you're shooting, learn how to not hold the camera like you're holding a camera (you don't have to bumble around like Winegrand), don't be afraid to give someone a quick "Hello" just as you take their picture (shooting from the hip/chest) they'll usually just greet you back without realizing you took a picture.

@huntercreatesthings 9 дней назад

Also a great approach!

@mgscheue 13 дней назад

A variation on #1 is to use the rear screen and act like you're making a video. For some reason, people seem much more likely to ignore that.

@huntercreatesthings 13 дней назад

That's a great idea !
