Street Photography Hacks (to help you get started) 

My favorite tip is using the "fishing" technique where you find a composition you like and camp there until an interesting subject walks into frame. And for my shy people, keep holding the camera to your eye after taking a picture of someone walking by, it'll kind of make them think you're taking a photo of something else behind them.

Tip eight : Put in the work. Do it over and over again. The more you do it the easier it will feel, the less self conscious you'll be.

This guy be making ordinary screens look like screen shots of a Hollywood movie 😍😍😍

Evan we need more lightroom editing video from you! Your editing tutorial are the best and I have learned so much from you!

These tips are on point, definitely agree on the one about bringing just one lens, with street photography you want to be able to just snap shots on the go so bringing many lenses would just complicate things

Another tip I used when getting started is to shoot in shutter priority mode. I found at the start of my street photography journey shooting manual was slowing me down and I was missing possible photo opportunities.

Really well done for not having a gear-centered video, but focused on techniques instead. In this consumist world we're in, brand fanboyism and all, we definitely need more of this! Logically subscribed!

1. Simple locations and outliers 2. Shoot at f8 (or higher) - Doesnt have to be low fpoint 3. Basic composition (leading lines, look for shadows created by light, light reflected on cars and subject, make frames etc) Best video on technique!!!!!

Thanks for inspiration, literally right after seeing this video I took an 45 minutes rainy night street photo walk in Prague .

Loving that F8 tip ! Great for just getting out there and getting it done. There's time to perfect that complex stuff but nothing is more informative and good for you than just going out and learning on the spot. Love your stuff mate. Been a fan since the beginning . Keep it up bro.

Shooting the same general area over and over is also helpful. You start the learn the light and the flow of the location and once you shoot all the mundane things you start to get a critical eye for what is out of the ordinary and special.

I've been watching photography videos for a long time now, but this is the very first person that takes pictures the way I do. The emotion, the mood, the warm or cold feeling you get from viewing them ♥️♥️🙌🙌 Subbed!!

Great practical tips my dude! Such a fun genre!

Just came from a trip to Korea and Japan and did a lot of street photography, cant wait to share these photos with you Evan! I used some of these tips while I was there, and this self quarantine makes for great time editing photos lol

Just got back from an awful attempt at street photography, and then this video dropped. Cheers bro!

Dude, you are a godsend. Thank you so much for your content, these tips are incredible

Appreciate all the great tips. It helps to not get caught up in over thinking, you lay it out pretty well for people to just get out an take some pictures.

The most helpful video I've watched on street photography. Really awesome tips👏 Your photography blows my mind btw😍

Loved this! Very helpful

Good advice Evan! I'd add the advice of finding other street photographers and going out together. Not necessarily doing the same streets but it adds a bit of good pressure to find elements worth shooting. And another one, more advanced, giving yourself a rule before you start your session. For example, today I'll only walk East, or today I'll only shoot whenever the purple colour is present. Things like that.

love it brother, keep up the good work!!

Thanks for the inspiration Evan!

Always great stuff... you make it look easy. Always listening to what you have to say cause it is always helpful.

Seven superbly solid tips Evan. Cheers dude!

Great advice. Thanks for the video! 🙏

Great channel, great advice. Appreciate the humble approach!

another great video Evan

Street photography is my fall back when I hit creative blocks in my personal work, always helps clear my mind. Great video

Every tip on point and awesome pictures

I really love your work. I’ve following you a year or more. I learn a lot from you. Thanks so much for your video!!!!! Keep it up.

Love everything you put out damn.

Wow! I will definitely keep this video in mind! 👍. I like how you explained it. Easy and not overexplained. Great video man!

Thank you so much Evan for the inspiration. Your channel had helped me a lot as I go to this street photography path.

yo Evan preciate the vids. Just got into photography here in Atlanta and your vids are GEMS. Good looks

Great video man, never been huge into street photography until I saw some of your stuff really. Great tips looking forward to trying em out on my next photo walk

The perfect vid to get me prepared for my trip to NYC next month

Incredible shots!

Loved that - plus your photos are incredible

This was dope! I'm gonna run out this weekend and try to apply these in some spots i've been wanting to check out.

I have seen a lot of vlogs during the last year; and there are many very fine photografers out there....you are truly one of the best when it comes to color, mood, light and the sense of the location...thanks....

One of your best video´s for me! Simple and good tips for people who started street photography. Thanks for al your work and I like to see more Lightroom video´s to how to edit. Keep up the great work! Follow you now for about three years

Very informative vid,. Love it 🙏🏽

Thanks man! I'm doing a challenge with my brother on the theme of Street Photography, this info will help a lot.

Tips are amazing! Thank you ... i'll make sure to use one lens from now on ✌

Love your videos! I usually overthink photography but your videos always inspire me to just go out and take some pictures.

Watching these vids always make me want to buy more photography stuff.

awesome tips! love it

Great video and I love your room setup !

Excellent educational video on street photography

I like your work dude. Thumbs up

Every picture is unique and iconic bro....love you photography 😍😍😍

Thanks for the great tips👍🏼📸

Starting to binge my boy💪

very nice video, thanks for the advice

Great video and good tips Evan! I agree with shooting at f8. Shallow DOF is way to difficult to worry about while shooting on the street. Zone focusing is key 👌

the best city. its fun watching videos of other photographers in New York.

Great tips. I will try them asap!

Nice list. Makes a lot of sense and even for people who've been doing it for a minute, it's good to check in with some fundamentals. Reminds you to put down the default toolset and go back to basics- see what "simple" approaches actually massively benefit from new knowledge. Also, go to NYC! Obviously you can get amazing photos anywhere you live. BUT... NYC just hits different. It's inspiration overload. There is an entirely endless setting to explore. No one cares AT ALL if you get them in photos. The architecture and style is unmatched. Literally every corner downtown offers nearly limitless photographic opportunity. It's one thing to develop your eye, it's another thing to unleash your skills on such fantastic subject matter. Do both!

Thank you! ❤️

Love your videos, I always get alot of value from them!

It is always great to get tips from a guy who has put in the work

I started my morning off watching this awesome video 😊😊

Very useful and practical tips especially bring one lens. :D Subscribed!

Very Nice vídeo 👏 love the subject 👍

Loved the shoot in f8 and bring one lens and your reasoning behind it. Really makes sense especially for someone who is still pretty new with photography like myself, I'm always trying to be extra fancy and overburned lol. Earned my sub and like :)

Nice Vid mate. I definitely use a few of these and my fav is to stick to one prime lens. I think this really helps you improve your eye. One other one I would say once you get in to it is to pick a theme or project and do it for a month. I have learnt so much by committing to shadows (for example) for a while, it really helps you focus and think outside the box :)

This is a good piece of advice!!!

When I'm out with manual lenses on my a7s the most versatile is the old Minolta MD 35-70mm f/3.5 Macro. Image quality is really surprising for an old zoom, the "macro" mode is a nice creative benefit and f/3.5 doesn't hurt in this scenario.

Nice video sir thnx for sharing your experience with us

That thumbnail photo is masterful man

Cool ideas mate! I do follow quite a lot of them. I would also add to have a goal before hand. A photo that you would like to make in the conditions you are shooting at.

The colors is this video is beautiful:’)

Good video, I enjoyed it as always 😃

I found tip number 3 very interesting, immediately applied. Thanks for such videos👍👍

Omg thank you for the Skillshare plug

Thanks mate!

Great tips.

Thank you! I've been getting into street photography now (and still not comfortable with it, haha) with my phone and these will definitely help. You rock!

Thank u, appriciate it

awesome tips bruv

I love tip no.5 too, Evan. Something else I'd add to bringing one lens is to also get to know your lenses inside out. Take a day to just take as many photos with your various lenses as you can to get a taste of what they're good at (and do this one lens at a time!) Maybe I'm a bad example, I only just bought my second lens last week. But I've learned a lot since then like the 50mm looks great for closeups, and 18mm looks cool zoomed out all the way for a wide shot (the lens distortion will add to the grandeur of the shot when used correctly!) I know these are just basic tips but they're are things I learned personally with these lenses. When you do it yourself the tips are all the more apparent! Lastly, I'd add to that to plan your trips accordingly. When I feel like taking a lot of closeups or portraits of things and people, 50mm would work well. If I wanted to take shots at a mid range with good clarity, I'd take my 18mm. Sometimes experiment! Some days I'll pick a lens at random to see what I come up with. But planning the shots you'll take ahead of time helps to achieve what you're looking for! Great tips Evan. I feel I've learned a lot and am tempted to buy a long lens/telephoto someday!

Tip number three is the best one. Subscribed and liked.

Good advice!

Off topic but I love the lofi music you use. ❤️❤️ And i love the tips. I know I use fujifilm but tips about general/universal things you need to know is very helpful.

Hi, love your video! So helpful! Thanks for that! I've a set up question about this video. How do you record the video footage when you take a photo? Do you use a Gopro, or something else? That you attach to your cup? Cheers!

I need some form of preset from you Evan 😩 love your work!

hey evan, these are great tips! An interesting video would be to see a bit of your post-production workflow! any fundamental things you do when you're on lightroom

Great idea thanks bro

Wow, SkillShare is sooooo good, thank you so much :D

All great tips. On my journey of trying no to be a one trick pony of photography I'm still stuck on Street. I don't know why I find it so difficult. I'll get it though. You'll see. Thanks for the tips. 🥂
