Ordinary streets look different when we appreciate the colors, shadows, patterns, and lines - it’s a true joy of street photography 😆

@chaston3002 4 года назад

HANandSOL I was thinking the same thing! The little things he was calling interesting used to be the things I never paid attention too until I started shooting. Reminds me of the quote that says, ”The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.”

@jonathan-rw3mx 4 года назад

Nothing better than street photography. It's the most creative and intriguing.

@HANandSOL 4 года назад

Chaston Hurst thanks for sharing the inspiring quote☺️

@HANandSOL 4 года назад

jonathan so true 😄

@bamsemh1 3 года назад

Best street photography, is with focus on the area/surroundings instead of focus on the need for people 😉

@andyrafregt 4 года назад

Love seeing the small towns in america, being from the UK i would love to walk around these places with my camera! It's so different and fascinating! Love the photos and videos, keeping people inspired and creative !

@andrewgraham4372 4 года назад

Keep the small town videos coming. I love the Atlanta ones too but not all of us live in big cities and the challenge is always harder to find something unique.

@alyana22 4 года назад

Love this video. Just goes to show that even in "unphotographable" places you can take good photos if you only take the time to explore and thoughtfully compose your shots to be able to tell a story.

@hendrixfan727 4 года назад

Epic Video as always man, you are becoming one of my favorite Photography RU-vidrs!

@RanftEvan 4 года назад

Feels good to hear that! Thank you!

@Starsgraphy 4 года назад

Heck yeah I can’t wait for the photo book!!!! So pumped🤘🏼

@TheMmcconnell 4 года назад

Awesome as always. Why I love your channel. Thanks for the constant inspiration to go out and shoot.

@Habeelz 4 года назад

By far my favourite RU-vidr, you keep it real, you inspire me and I can't relate to you/your creative process a lot. Keep it up man!

@theinfinitespin 4 года назад

Couple of things... First and foremost love your videos! Your photo vlogs inspire me and this is something I had wanted to do for a while but wasn't sure how to get started. Thanks for the inspiration! While I'm on the subject of thanking you for things, thanks for just ending the video normally and not covering the lens with your hand. Refreshing to see a video end normally and not have someone's HUGE hand be last thing I remember from a video. I might have to go back to the town I grew up in and do this. There's SO MUCH to be photographed there. You're amazing, dude! Keep doing what you're doing!

@valantisjpg 4 года назад

Epic once again, big inspiration! Keep going! Cant wait for your book (Europe)!

@CoreyCaptures 4 года назад

Super hyped for the book, man! Def will be swoopin that up! I think showing the before and after of these photos would be sick!

@alfviktor.101 4 года назад

Omg, I love your videos man. Makes me feel so calm.

@lotrlks 4 года назад

Totally agree. These pics works great together and not every photo needs to be a banger

@legoman5010 4 года назад

Great video! Tons of inspiration!

@Fvckitzx 4 года назад

This* video is amazing I love all you photography I’m amazed what types of photos can be taken in Atlanta!

@RanftEvan 4 года назад

Appreciate that!

@villasappho 4 года назад

So glad I found your vlogs, followed a few and desided to go out again. It is raining here for over a week now and I'm sick off it but went in the rain and photographed autumn. Thank you for the inspiration I desided to use my 50 mm and just go on with it. I'm not cranky anymore and ofcourse I follow your page for more tips!

@thaMegarockmaster 4 года назад

Man, you know how nail the good vibes 🔥 actually hell dig the more vlog style walk around as you shoot, even more than the classic voice over, felt like I was there at the same time - weirdly? Will need to make sure I don’t miss out on the merch this time as well 😂

@emmanuellopez4617 4 года назад

I LOVE this small town video series.im sore everyone in a small town agrees when I say I'm a photographer in a small town, and when I see this it inspires me and helps me see things I hadn't thought of shooting in this limited environment so please do more small town things!!

@darkroomsyndicate 4 года назад

Great Video Evan. Small town challenge was great. I just moved to a small town so its a challenge for me as well. You should do more on this series.

@thomasschoch3849 4 года назад

i like the one with the pickup most. good video. thanks a lot.

@Morespizzle 4 года назад

When I take photos like these I think its absolute dog shit and I wouldn't post them but I like that you added some meaning behind it or at least got out and shot which leads to more ideas.

@pnw8836 4 года назад

SP LMAO same, I’ve been doing such complex shots lately that sometimes I forget to appreciate the simplistic stuff

@jonathan-rw3mx 4 года назад

I don't like the way he composes his shots or even edits but I like the ideas behind them.

@daniellefernandes8423 4 года назад

I would love more videos like this! It reminds me of the streets that are around me

@jfinite 4 года назад

Nice, man, I love small towns!

@EliBeaversonVisuals 4 года назад

Dude!!! Can't wait for Friday! I'll probably be bringing my laptop to work and be ready to cop at noon :)

@Matt-hy9qj 4 года назад

Yesterday I was watching your “photography in a small town” video and it honestly opened my eyes. I live in a relatively small town in NC. Driving from class today I went down a road I always thought of as “trashy” or “sketchy” and saw a LOT of tiny locations that really got me excited to take photos of. Thanks for the inspiration man

@noesse4736 4 года назад

It's difficult in Nowhere NC, I feel your pain.

@rick-deckard 4 года назад

Im glad youre happy with them. You dont always need people. Not having people is a narrative in itself. Same with clouds :)

@ennuliraivan 4 года назад

thanks for making these videos

@TheRockabillyArts 4 года назад

That's downtown Lawrenceville! When you showed the gun shop and saw the building with the rooftop bar I knew where it was (I'm in Loganville).

@mlxndr7 4 года назад

jea man the store with the truck!!!! fire

@jeremymendoza4394 4 года назад

Great video Evan! I live in Nebraska which is littered with small towns that make great street photography. I think I just found my next project!

@bwc1976 Месяц назад

I love Nebraska! You should do Holdrege if you haven't already, that's where my mom grew up.

@rick-deckard 4 года назад

Dude soo luckyy, beautiful day!

@Extingent1 4 года назад

That’s crazy! The small town you’re in is actually pretty close by me!

@bjh8560 Год назад

Loved the photos. I grew up in a small town. Where is your book available for purchase?

@bradholbrooks 4 года назад

I like to go out and shoot before church on Sunday mornings -- small town GA.

@jayflo_ 4 года назад

I think for me what makes a session like that good is if you can still tell a story with it. Great job @evanranft

@MattHooker 4 года назад

great set! I think you had something good with the flag in the window shots. looking forward to the hat being available

@labradorhund7769 4 года назад

Will you send your book to places outside the US as well? Germany for example?

@chivas4vida1994 4 года назад

You should check out a place in marietta called the chattahoochee coffee company. Very nice scenery.

@TwinsInAction 4 года назад

@miro_scheib 4 года назад

Hey evan! Is it possible to buy the book from switzerland?

@Myrrhoej 4 года назад

*silently over here having 8 stickers directly on my macbook, and not on a cover* 😅

@BartRos1980 4 года назад

Odd, I don’t like the 50mm also. Love your videos man.Currently wanna build a street shooting system next to my Sony FF. I have the a6400, but the Leica Q seems way more interesting. Or the Xpro3. Whadda ye think?

I can’t tell if you were in downtown Lawerenceville or not 🤔🤔

@adambraswell5635 4 года назад

That looked like the back of Bullseye's shooting range. A few months back some rocket surgeon shot tracer rounds in there and set the place on fire.

@TimFromWales 4 года назад

Just stumbled on your channel. Enjoyed this and sub'd. I've just got a new camera and looking for inspiration.

@TheMrtoast70 4 года назад

will there be international shipping ?

@JesusMartinezCreates 4 года назад

I swear man you must have a carhart sponsor lol great video!

@cindyrosen8170 4 года назад

Yet another great video! Can you show us how you create the photo set with the white borders? Do you just place the 4 photos on a white page in Photoshop?

@RanftEvan 4 года назад

Super simple actually, just open your file in photoshop. -click image on the top bar -scroll down to canvas size -change the option to percent -and then change it to something over 100 for both. This is the best way to do it because it keeps your border the same on every single photo!

@cindyrosen8170 4 года назад

Evan Ranft, super simple! Thank you 🙏

@RanftEvan 4 года назад

And yes to get all 4 I just place them on a photo page in photoshop and manually lay it out!

@cindyrosen8170 4 года назад

Evan Ranft Excellent!

@nyker999 4 года назад

I’d like to see you do a photo challenge Pick a focal length you’re not used to using, and show us what can be done with the “unfamiliar”

@Holl.Mvrk. 4 года назад

Hey Evan! I was curious to know if you still had the Xpro-2 and the X100f ? I’ve noticed a lot of your street works being shot with the Q-P lately, which is totally understandable since it’s a hell of a camera and it’s one of your dream cameras. I currently have a Grii and want to upgrade to the x100f and was wondering if I should just get the Xpro-2 instead with a solid lens for street photography, was curious what your opinion would be !? Thanks for all the amazing videos and being an inspiration 🤙🏼

@Holl.Mvrk. 4 года назад

Jack of Blades what camera are you using for your minimal approach ?

@Holl.Mvrk. 4 года назад

Jack of Blades hahaha yea me either since I’m just a hobbyist and not looking to quit my day job. Maybe if I won some big money 🤔 I’m really familiar with joe allam’s videos. I’ve watched a ton of his x100f videos and others as well. Him and Evan are two of my favorites. Thanks for the advice brotha !

@allan_sh_ 4 года назад

Would really love if you could ship your awesome merch to Europe as well. :D

@TheBrockKelly 4 года назад

Dude. I’m a photographer, a runner, a video creator and an FJ owner. I live in small town USA and really enjoyed the vid

@bolinstephen Год назад

“But what do I do with it?!?!?” You take a picture of it.

@pocketstreet9306 4 года назад

Hey Evan. Have been watching your street photography videos from day one. Awesome to see the growth you have achieved, what now with the books, merch and all the projects. Nice work. Very inspiring. This small town photo challenge is screaming out for a competition. How about challenging your viewers to put together a small series (6-8 shots) of a small town or suburb? You've got all that merchandise you can put up as prizes. But more importantly a great opportunity for your viewers to come together as a community. Keep up the good work. Joe IG: @joe_tog

@dstefanek1988 4 года назад

You should invite some other photographers on your challenges.

@ohad.5890 4 года назад

My city doesn't look this cool and vintage, my city is a small normal city and in terms of landscape and buildings and stuff, it doesn't have much interesting stuff to photograph imo, and I'm too shy for street photography of people / not even sure if I want to do that type of street photography.
