My Top Five Street Photographers 

This is what RU-vid is for. Quality content, thank you so much. You have a very nice and enjoyable way of presenting your thoughts! Also, stellar work of yourself at the end. Kind regards, Santosh

I live on that exact intersection of the Ernst Haas Route 66 photo.

For anyone in the UK, the largest ever Saul Leiter exhibition (to come to the UK) is now open for viewing at Milton Keynes Gallery. Definitely worth the visit! (Milton Keynes is about 30 minutes from London by train! or a 40 minute drive :) )

3:45 I was under the impression that Harry Callahan only shot with Magnum 44. What a nice surprise to hear that he also shot photography.

I LOVE your b/w work at the end! No need to be humble here.

Just the type of channel I've been looking for!

Haas taught in Yosemite with Ansel and when one student kept praising his Leica, Haas had finally had enough and uttered one of my favorite camera quotes: Leica Schmeica. It is appropriate with Ansels quote : the most important part of the camera is the 12" behind it. My corollary to that is the second most important part of the camera is the 12" ahead of it, the lens.

I have to say that Haas and Leiter are my favorites. Haas being on top. Amazing. Thanks for this video!

I'm always inspired by Ernst Haas, just so artistic and different he mastered so many genres of photography. Of course he started as an artist in Europe. Saul is from Pittsburgh like me so I have an affinity for his work!

Wonderful work , thank you for sharing ...

Excellent presentation wonderfully presented. I loved your photos, too, can't wait to see more of them. Thank you.

Hey! Absolutely love the selection of your own work... Conveys loneliness and quiet contemplation. Your work with shadows is rather brilliant.

I was able to get a book of Ernst Haas' photography from my library. His work really speaks to me.

Thank you for sharing those brilliant photographers. As an amateur photographer who doesn't know many great photographers, It's always good to know more about them and it also reminds me of a few I know to think about their masterpieces again. Been watching your videos for quite a while, I am enjoying and learning a lot. Thanks Rupert.

Excellente video comme à l'accoutumée ! Merci de partager vos pygmalions avec nous.

This was an excellent overview. I hadn’t heard of three of these photographers, but I was really happy to hear about their work and will follow up. Thank you!

Love love your work and your sharing of other brilliant artists like yourself. Thank you I’m in. FL

Rupert, so glad to see Ernst Haas first up, a multi genre photographer and oh so talented. Glad to see the others too and your own work is a joy to look at.. Subscribed & liked.

What an excellent group you've selected. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing their works. Enjoyed the video a lot.

Grand work my friend! Greetings from Texas.

Always enjoy your videos and this one is a great reminder of some great masters.👍

Great video, shows the power of photography when practiced by those who understand it best. Humbling.

Thank you for sharing your insights on these great photographers

A nice video about street photography in the real sense of the word. Quite far more encouraging and inspiring than seeing videos about the top five cameras for street photography.

This was excellent. Great shots as well.

Love your content, perfect!!.

Enjoyed. Very much. Thank you.

thanks for the sharing, very delightful👍

Thank you so much for this. PS Your photos are inspiring.

I like your work. The embracing couple photo is stunning.

Enlightening ! 🌅

what a video man, thx so much

Thank you, and I very much enjoyed your work also.

Thank You for sharing inspirational

Very nice video and very nice photography of yours. both very inspiring.

A great top five, particularly love Haas and Leiter!

Your images are extraordinary

Your work is great, thanks for sharing it with us. :)

Thanks for this content, as always interesting! 👏👏 Really a nice selection, I love all 5 of these, and by the way I knew Metzker very little but I will try to deepen the photography of him. And congratulations for your shots, we see that these great photographers have inspired you very well 🙂

Greetings from Alabama USA I enjoy your videos. Take care.

Ernst Haas: Wow!

Thanks for this selection, particularly drawing my attention to Harry Gruyaert, whose name but not work I knew. I immediately ordered a copy of a book of his photos, one the excellent, inexpensive Photofile series by Thames & Hudson. My goodness Gruyaert's photos are stunning. I think I'll be buying the book you feature very soon...

Have you looked at the work by Phylis Nichol. Her work in Birmingham has it wonderful.

Got your book and it was very interesting.

I’m no photographer but I appreciate it. Especially the great street photographers. I feel as though today too many “steet photographers“ are deemed a success when they don’t hold a candle to these greats. Put aside the nostalgia of historical representations. The greats had a gift for composition and perhaps their less wittingly subjects lent a hand, but overall, it was a matter of pure artistry. What happened?

i am new to your channel. thank you for the effort and the sharing. i really enjoyed your images. thumbs up.

Interesting channel, subbed.

Thank you for this wonderful video! May I ask what is the music at 4:25?

Thanks, a couple of guys I was unfamiliar with. Haas is such an outstanding color SP, his mantra " your best zoom is your feet," a reminder to get as close as possible.

How do you feel about the characteristics of the cameras these photographers used in relation to modern equipment? Do you like seeing recreation of the nostalgic qualities or are you more interested in exploring the boundaries possible with modern camera features and color capabilities?

追　誤記、ハーストは HAAS ハースでした。訂正しお詫びします。

How can you not include Trent Parke?

Could you please say what's camera do you use for taking photos?

If you can see why he took those pictures, you're looking at them properly.

if you're be on mind with saul leiter, you don't need the rest!

color correction is very expensive.400$ and for hard cover is even more expensive around 1200$.

It may be a matter of taste, but I find your work to be every bit as good (and in some cases better) than the great artists you've presented here>

good. 綺麗でいいけど、力がない。ストリートなのか、時代なのか・・・　ハースト以外四人は知らなかった、thank you.

I am a photographer, and it is likely that I am very ignorant, but for me, street photography is the most indecipherable and scarce of virtues within this art. I have never been able to find one that makes me think "this is a great work of art". Shooting through a wet window, a flock of out-of-focus pigeons, a guy walking on the sidewalk or some shadows reflected in a showcase are photographs that even my grandmother could have taken. I can't believe this style is considered an art!
