The most important thing in street photography! & A HUGE fail! (ft Sean Tucker & Josh Jack)
The most important thing to remember in street photography is also the most difficult to sustain. in this video, I mention 6 mistakes I often make in street photography. We're always learning ay!
I had one hour before meeting with Sean Tucker (‪@seantuck‬) and Josh Jack (insta- @joshjack) for his book launch and presentation. I'm sure you follow sean tucker but here's his YT incase: bit.ly/3Gn8Ov9
I had hoped for more time before the meet but still, an hr in good light around the Barbican, London doing some street photography is always exciting!
Hope you enjoy it! :-)

Keep up the great work. I love how you show the trials and tribulations of working the scenes and trying to make good photographs. you are very relatable this way and def separates you from many other photographers on RU-vid who hide all that and just show us the final images.

@ronald4139 Год назад

Recently found your RU-vid channel, I already follow a lot of photographers but the way you do it is different and therefore a great addition. Thank you! I keep following you. Grtz from the Netherlands

Happy New Year 2023 Gareth ! I have enjoyed and learned so much from your channel. Thank you so much for sharing. I love the second photo the best as that image truly reminds me about Mr. Saul Leiter. Keep up the excellent work and good luck with your new Insta account and RU-vid channel in 2023!!!

@retropixer Год назад

The 3rd shot is my favorite. The person coming towards us, and visually occupying a larger space in the frame makes it a nicer and better balanced composition I think. Great video overall; hearing your thoughts and ‘trials and tribulation” you go through is very helpful and makes it much more relatable. Thank you.

@raymondpenalver7095 Год назад

Happy New Year Gareth, thanks for all your great videos this year 😀

Happy new year! same to you mate

@markcranny8378 Год назад

The single red boot in the sunlight gets my vote - love it.

@antwilk1981 Год назад

Good to see you back Gareth. The 3rd image was my favourite

Loved this one man, looking forward to pt. 2

Thanks mate. Posting tomorrow at 5 👍🏻

@robhunt2216 Год назад

Great video, Gareth. I loved all of those photos to be honest. I’d be very happy if I took any of those. I’m looking forward to the second part.

@GarethDanks Год назад

Glad you like them! hope you enjoyed the second part.. its out now if not

@bosiefoobar Год назад

Love that you didn’t just go for the easy shot, even if you did not get it perfectly right and got yourself frustrated. Great attitude!

@GarethDanks Год назад

Thanks mate. Kind of you.

@4ndrew- Год назад

Great video and the accidental comedic timing of "I believe it's flats" to immediately walking past a sign saying "Defoe house flats" was impeccable 😂

@GarethDanks Год назад

wow mate.. thats extremely observant of you haha.. id love to say that was all planned haha

@RamonLinares Год назад

Checking your watch made you miss a photo but at the same time you captured a perfect example for the video 😀

@GarethDanks Год назад

just as well haha, id have been so upset.. thanks for the comment mate

@photobritain Год назад

It's never a fail if we learn something new. Street Photography is the most difficult photography. That's what drives me to go out and shoot. I respect your honesty. The streets are not paved gold every time.

@GarethDanks Год назад

it is difficult and thats part of the appeal.. setting and maintaining a standard is hard..

@bcegerton Год назад

Great video Gareth, really enjoyed it. One place I’ve always wanted to go to The Barbican, Brutalism at its finest, and as I do a lot of photos without people I’d be in my element. Really hope I can get to see Sean’s talk, followed him for a number of years now and just love how he uses philosophy in his photography. One thing he always says, which really resonates with me, “ don’t pigeon hole yourself, although his Street Photography is awesome he says that he isn’t a Street Photographer, just a Photographer

@GarethDanks Год назад

Thanks Brian mate. Your right. It’s definitely a good point about pigeon hole haha. Hope you get to see his show. It’s great.

@bcegerton Год назад

Thank you Mary. Appreciate that. 👍🏻

@simonsmith6452 Год назад

For me definitely the 2nd shot, love the composition of that one. Would love to see a photo battle with you and Dan Goody, maybe an 1hr shoot or something?

@jbairdexp Год назад

You're the only street photographer I watch mate...and for good reason. OK, I watch Sean Tucker as well, but mostly for the philosophy side of things. :-)

@GarethDanks Год назад

Haha. Thanks mate. I’ll get you back on the streets again one day! Ok I sound like your pimp now 😂

@NeilMcAliece Год назад

Really enjoyed this video. I find that I really need time when out looking for subjects and composition (often hours). Usually I get one or more shots that I really like. When I don't, I've had a healthy walk! I checked insta and I am following your new account. The one linked in your youtube channel "about" page is out of date though.

@ZenoWatson Год назад

I feel your frustration, I know you will not let it happen again. Keep up the great work.

@GarethDanks Год назад

Happens all the time mate. I just never show it haha

@ZenoWatson Год назад

I respect your honesty.

@garrydelday5816 Год назад

You was under time pressure m8, I liked the silhouette against the lit building (1st image) you can’t do your best work when you are looking at the clock 🤔 two red boots was good too 😉👍 good that you are brave enough to put out some of your rare fails, not that most of us regard them as fails. Street photography is an art form that I don’t quite understand as an amateur but learning from you guys that do it is an eye opener, it makes you look very differently at the world around you 👌

@johnnymoThai Год назад

Pic 3, because the subject was not immediately obvious so nearly missed it. When I did see it, blew me away ;-)

@marioarias9942 3 месяца назад

First shot of the day continues burst mode 😂

@hedleywrightphotography Год назад

Think with focus areas you may be confusing the “All” setting with “Wide/tracking”? “All” means you can scroll through all focus areas seamlessly rather than having to choose independently. You probably worked that out 🙂. Love the challenge, lots to learn from it - thank you.

@Monochromephotos Год назад

Tips and tricks really important lessons few composition its been really interesting green window 🪟 and show walking through shadows of light Great Great lesson yet Again 😀 👍 😄 😊 🙂

@gphotographyWALES Год назад

Like I said last night, when things don't pan out it's real life! Taking photos of empty scenes is all part of the learning curve & something we should all do, after all it's better to take something than nothing!

@GarethDanks Год назад

Hey man. Great to catch up. If I were able to switch from work mode to pratting around mode I’d agree haha. I always treat a shoot as a paid job. And I believe there is always a shot. 👍🏻

@barnseyb6031 Год назад

My favourite is 3rd one - the man walking into the frame. I like this video, it's honest. You could have cut out the parts where you made the actual mistakes that you were talking about but you didn't and for me this enhanced your content greatly. 👍

@GarethDanks Год назад

hey thanks so much mate.. kind of you! glad you liked it, thanks for the feedback

@garywilson2926 Год назад

Stop looking at your watch you numpty.😂 We will never know if that was a money shot. Great vid though. Out of all the photographers on RU-vid i can relate to you the most.

@simon359 Год назад

That’s the one thing I noticed about most of the street photographers I see, they’re not ready and they have their camera around their neck and they’re doing something else. The main reason I chimp so much with Fuji, is I don’t trust the auto focus! I’m using the XT4.

@nelsonm.5044 Год назад

The first one is my favorite

@GarethDanks Год назад

Ah really? I thought that was a bit obvious?

@MattWilliamsuberkraaft Год назад

Interested in your comment about iso 1600 shouldn’t be right - I’m having that a lot with the X-T5 to the point of thinking there’s an issue with the camera. Tested against a light meter everything appears to be 1 full stop underexposed 😬

@GarethDanks Год назад

Yeah that was so odd. But there wasn’t anything white in the frame so maybe I had overexposed it. Saying that tho. The white shoots didn’t clip when they came into frame. Odd one

@trevorsneath4665 Год назад

Like the solo red shoe the best :-)

@GarethDanks Год назад

Me too. Really pleased with that one

@PeterArnold1969 Год назад

Would you be able to get some of Sean Tucker's valuable time to have an informal sit-down discussion about photography one day, please? That would be a great idea for another video. Also, @8:07 Did you take a shot of those people? Even if you don't like couples photography unless it's romantic, I would've taken that shot, anyway, and then seen what I can do with it, later on.

@julieboyle170 Год назад

I don't think it was a 'bad' video as we all struggle sometimes to get that shot. Nice to know you are human.

@GarethDanks Год назад

very human! too little time tho on this occasion.. i struggled more to get something not obvious and cliche

@harryp6312 Год назад

Don't be hard on yourself Gareth the Barbican estate is a maze and incredibly frustrating in its own right, you can end up double backing on yourself seeming never to penitrate the place, add to that trying to get a worthwhile angle 😨

@ThePurpleHarpoon Год назад

A tripod and a remote release would have been useful in a situation like this. You can frame the scene as you wish, then wait for your perfect moment. I know street photographers aren't bothered with tripods .... but maybe they should be. A tripod gives you freedom. You could be eating a bacon bun, whilst taking masterpieces .... sitting in a deck-chair by the side of your tripod.

haha.. no way would i carry that all dam day.. id never use it..

@marksnellingphotography Год назад

Time to tape a piece of cardboard over the back screen or get a Pro 3 and spend a day not looking at any images till you get home and set an alarm on your phone for when you need to do something else so you don't need to look at the time 😉

@GarethDanks Год назад

I did that to my xp2 once. Really good idea. I enjoyed it too.

@JVSwailesBoudicca Год назад

3 and 5 are my favourites. I know you are a Pro, but you are too hard on yourself at times !
