Richard Sandler - Street Photographer & Documentary Filmmaker 

Before getting discouraged about your own photography, don't forget these 116 or 300 images for his books are the best taken from hundreds of thousands over many years. His shooting ratio will be massive. The more you take, the luckier you'll get

I am self taught, but I always say that if I could've had a mentor, I'd have liked it to be Richard...

This street photography is everything that is missing from photographers today. They are not random chance images, like take out afterthoughts from a fast motor driven series. They are well considered and prepared for, a developed skill !!

That is a very informative presentation . I love Richard's manner and the way he presents

its so fantastic to hear him speak. Thank you

Thank you so much for this free workshop. This is Photography. Vote 10.

I’ve always thought the photos i shoot now may seem ordinary but in 10 20 years plus they’ll be a good record of this time. I look back at pictures I shot years ago and it absolutely is the passing of time which makes a good image a damn good image. Enjoyed that video cheers

Outstanding presentation and imagery.

He is a photo genius, stills are indescribably great.

fantastic work, sad time is running so fast and can't catch up those times...

That cinematographic piece of art Gods of Times Square is a must see.

What an interesting video. Thank you.

Me to. I tried HC110 and other developers, but I came back to D76. Great developer. Plus-X and Tri-X.

Some great shots here. I enjoyed the whole session and shooting in New York is a whole different ball game from shooting in North Carolina! I need to look for more of Richard Herman videos.Thanks!

I love the intentionality of "making a picture."

Amazing pictures!

Excellent presentation. Thanks SVA!

you know... he truly is a master of photography you know ;)

Marvellous talk from a talented and humble man with a wonderfull history. I had to laugh at the irony of the horrible lighting on him though. What were they thinking?

"Never shoot from the hip"... proceeds to show pictures shot from the hip. Lol. Great lecture from an amazing artist

love this!

This is quite insightful :)

Fabulous...

Enjoyed

Ooooh im first to comment? ....hmm what to say- I LOVE SVA

Miles above Gilden. Sandler takes Gilden and adds heart and poetry

that was first curtain flash but he talks as if its second curtain

Curious to intersect two of the audience topics: posterity and permission. How would we view photographs of the 50s if they never depicted children? Or depictions of cities if certain races or sexes were denied? Do the subjects have the right to refuse inclusion? What are the ethics of a parent in public refusing candid photography with their children? It's presumptuous and very narrow-minded to frame the ethics in terms of the subjects only; what of the future witness? It could be viewed in a thousand years. I recently saw photographs of Hemingway as a child dressed in a dress. This was common for boys of that era (although his mother insisted upon continuing the practice long enough for him to become deeply resentful). Would we even know if boys dressed this way without recordings? We carry so many assumptions and stereotypes of other times and places which records can dispel. Negotiation, and reading people and scenes is integral to civic life. Whereas dogma denies the will and presence of mind; it may have a place, of course, just as limitations can give the tension required to create work. If dogma were to replace discretion and connexion we would be lost.

Unfortunately people nowadays aren’t as present how they used to be. Taking a photo without someone holding their phone is somewhat near impossible

oops! Richard Sandler I meant of course.....sorry Richard! : )

Photography is the most misunderstood of all the arts, that's why it has such a huge ratio of crap!!!

..Richard Sandler may know about photogrpahy but certainly not about the ethics of Zen…."Good street photography is a very Zen act, a very Zen art....an end run around the mind… if I want to take a picture I'll take it…." No, Richard, Zen is not doing whatever you want when you want it.
