You are one of the best photographers on RU-vid. You are really humble. To get better at photography, people should watch your videos, not gear review videos. And your stuff is really about technique. You’re not just another amateur with a go pro doing “street photography”. Your format, combining theory, application, and personal experience; Like, what more does one need to see?

@EYExplore 2 года назад

Wow! Thank you so much for the positive feedback. I really appreciate it! Will keep it up!! :)

@erikkruiter 3 года назад

Great video. I also like the absence of music in your videos, so you can hear the ambient sounds from the street.

@EYExplore 3 года назад

Thank you so much for saying so! It's a conscious decision to not add music. My goal is to make you feel like we out for a walk on the streets together. No music is more realistic. :)

@repHAWAIIxJPN 3 года назад

8:13 "Good artist copy , great artist steal" I like these types of videos to remind myself about these things now and then . More often than I'd like it feels once people "learn" something they never come back to it again when that's not really a good thing . It's always nice to go back and refresh your memory and knowledge on things , at least when it's not bad habits 😅

@EYExplore 3 года назад

Haha, yes I totally agree! It's also good to revisit ideas regularly to keep them fresh in your mind. It's like exercise. You have to work the mental muscles again and again. :)

@MikeKleinsteuber 2 года назад

A couple of things occur to me: 1. The images from Saul (who I totally love) you see on the internet and in books are the best from over 50 years of shooting and probably from millions of shot frames. His shooting ratio was therefore enormous. Therefore don't expect great results of your own from just a couple of hundred shots. If you shoot a 1000 shots you may be lucky and get one keeper. If you get a lot more than that you're probably not being realistic. 2. It's probably better to develop your own style by just shooting everything that takes your fancy and then over time you'll see what you like and what you don't to create your own little niche. Becoming a watered down version of someone else shouldn't be satisfying for you and is unlikely to be to anyone else.

@EYExplore 2 года назад

Yeah, this is very true! And Saul himself said something that goes kind of like this: "If I shoot one good photo per year, then in 10 years I'll have 10 good photos!" Meaning that, it's rate to get a truly great photo, and great photography takes lots and lots of time! Of course you should develop your own style. My advice is not about taking a style, it's about learning techniques. You can shoot for years and not figure out something that's been done before you. We can all stand on the shoulders of giants. But what you reach for is up to you. :)

@K3zz21 2 года назад

Highly disagree with “shouldn’t be satisfying for you” it’s an artform. Art is enjoyable to different people in different ways. it is not so black and white.

I'm not sure what you mean. Did you mean century? I think photography has been around for over 100 years but you could say street photography has only really been an art form for about 80-100 years. But I do agree that going to other visual art forms is a great source of artistic knowledge! :)

@EYExplore 2 года назад

Yeah, photographers tend to overlook it and seem to live in a bubble. But I know many of the great photographers either studied lots of other media or were in fact artists themselves. I actually started out in art before photography. I spend a lot of time making digital art and I had an early fascination with artists like Picasso, Monet, Duchamp, and many others. All weeeell before I got into photography. :)

@benjones8977 2 года назад

@@EYExplore I had a love for music, film, sculptures, paintings. At first I thought I was going to be an artist and painter, but I realized it wasn’t that good. So I tried with the camera and found I liked it, but I had a lot to learn! But I found that all the other interests in my life helped my creative side in photography. I also had an interest in fashion. Just like writers need to live life in order to write, a good photographer needs artistic influences & history to make better photographs. 🖖

@valala2987 2 года назад

Awesome video, I really liked your comment about heuristics. It's truly one of the best ways to learn and to get better at photography. I personally like to apply that not just through certain techniques that other photographers use but I like to apply that concept to just basic composition techniques and visual elements as well. Basically when you are starting out, don t just rush through a book/video on composition and call it a day. Pick one technique, like for example leading lines or framing, learn everything about it and then try to see it in the outside world. The great thing is you don t even need a camera for this (although it is more fun). No matter where you are, you can look around and try to see that particular concept you are focusing on. After some time you will start to automatically see those things in your surroundings and it will be much easier to find good compositions. It s really important that you only focus on one thing at a time though, that way you really hone your eyes to see that particular thing. Another cool benefit from doing this is that you don t just see these compositional elements in the outside work but you ll notice it in other peoples photographs as well. That makes it a whole lot easier to understand professional work, which in turn helps you to understand how to copy the style and techniques of other professionals.

@EYExplore 2 года назад

I totally agree! I didn't go very in-depth into the topic of heuristics in composition this time but it certainly warrants a dedicated video. I do have a related blog post though: www.lkazphoto.com/blog/2019/5/17/beyond-mere-composition

Great videos. I’m working my way through them all. I love even just the walking around Tokyo aspect and talking photography. I went there on vacation in 2007 with a few friends and I was still in the learning process with my photography at the time. I absolutely loved it and had an amazing time. I want to go back ASAP. It would be cool to shoot with you when I do if you’re down (I know I’m just a random commenter). I keep meaning to ask, have you tried shooting the area where the harajuku girls dress up on Sundays? Some of my favorite photos during my vacation were there. My friend used his 200 2.8 for those portraits and killed it I did already with an 85 1.8 there at the time.

@EYExplore 2 года назад

Thank you very much!! Glad you are enjoying the Tokyo exploration as well. It's an important part of what we do! The Harajuku people have no been in Harajuku in years. Indeed, in 2007 they used to hang out on the bridge but too many gawkers, tourists, and other nuisances drove them away. Now they hang out in other places. To be frank, I'm also not personally very interested in the Harajuku fashion scene. It's all a bit too contrived for my taste. But if you do come to Tokyo I recommend Ikebukuro as a good location for spotting them, particularly around Sunshine 60 and Animate. :)

You can do all of that anywhere! And a great master of mall towns is William Eggleston. I would look to his work for ideas.

No body on this planet creates their art in a vacuum. Photography is a skill that can be learned. It's like music. Even masters like Mozart learned from somebody (in his case it was his older siblings and father, I believe). And then from that knowledge we can play with the art form, explore it in depth, and create original work. This video is meant for beginners who want to improve their basic skills. Of course, once you have those, my advice would be different. Anyway, you are welcome to disagree. :)

@@sjsphotog Why? It literally makes no difference in my experience. Maybe in some small town it matters, but in giant Tokyo a bright red jacket boring. There are much more weird and eye-catching people about.
