Hi. The video was not bad. Interesting. But... with the utmost respect and politeness... could I please request that you shove that recurring piano solo where the sun don't shine? Sincerely, viewer annoyed by the recurring piano solo.
So true, sad the laws for this are different in all countrys, they load up all kinds of pics at facebook, while theyre drunk but complaining about people who take pictures of them in the street
jason does have a strong portfolio but it's being over run by images of his that are just meh, trying to cover six minutes of images that are strong/powerful take a very long time and i was highly unimpressed with the barrage of weak images. Steve Mccurry could cover six minutes with strong imagery, so could Elliot erwitt. I like jasons work when it's curated!
Great video! I've always loved street photography and kind of partake in it myself (more in areas where it seems to be more ok for someone to walk around with a camera, such as Venice Beach and locations like that with street performers and people who are TRYING to get your attention. I've always been a little unsure about the "Legalities" of street photography but this video pretty much answered them. The streets are public and pretty much anyone can be photographed whether they know about it or not. Whether they have an issue with it or not is a different story.
I prefer the 'in your face' technique, walk up to a person, click, walk on, don't turn around. The sneaky shot makes me feel uncomfortable. Good pictures here though so it's horses for courses.
I agree. I shoot with no attempt to hide. I wear bright colors, I put the camera to my eye, I pause to focus, and I smile after I take the photo. If I'm "caught" I acknowledge it and I'll talk with the person. Some are really offended and there's no way to calm them down. I simply apologize and sometimes agree not to post their photo and/or not to take any more of them. It may be legal, but it's not necessarily polite to take someone's photo. I get that. I violate that, so I'm definitely rude at times, by this definition. It's part of the thrill and beauty of street photography, IMHO.
Awesome work! I wish I lived somewhere as big and crowded as Chicago, it's harder to shoot street candids in a small town or suburb where only a few people are out walking at a time.
Great video, impressive shots too! Im often walking the streets of London 'shooting people', Ive been chased, sworn at, ordered to delete shots and even searched by the police, but nothing will take away the thrill of candids for me, one tip I can give and that is to find time to check the work out of other photog's, theres always something else to learn!
The interview was great, but it was completely overshadowed by the quality of the images. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight because the photos have my mind racing so fast.
Everyone gets offended by everything these days. I've even had a person get offended that I'd taken a photo of someone that they didn't even know. When I asked them why they were angry about it they couldn't even give me an answer.
If someone took my picture I'd ask to see it and if it was a good black and white picture, I'd say "cool!" If it was colour, I'd say shoot street in monochrome, it gives it a timeless quality. The photos and the video are great, Inspirational in fact.
I shoot raw so, either way, the color profile will be there sometimes knocking the vibrancy back so it's not full monochrome but not really full on color either looks really nice
Hey, do you know "photo SFX art" (just search on Google for it ...)? There you will find a smart free video explaining the right way to shoot impressive pictures. This made it possible for Joe to create photos which leave you with a jaw-dropping-effect after you look at them. Perhaps it will help you out as well...
Why do street photographers restrict themselves to concrete sidewalks and asphalt streets? It is legal to photograph in other, more comfortable, locations. See: petapixel.com/2010/08/24/introducing-the-photographers-rights-gray-card-set/
Just takeIt? That will get you a slurry of profanity if you don't ask. I alway ask, in most cases people are reseptive and will agree to have thier picture taken if you ask. be careful.
Hey there, have you come across "Photo SFXart Tricks" (just search on Google for it ...)? On their website you can watch a great free video showing how you can make awesome photographs. This made it possible for Matt to make photographs which leave you with a jaw-dropping-effect when you look at them. It might help you out too...
