Thanks for another set of useful tips. Very interesting.

[sabinche]

Thank you, Peter! I'm particularly pleased to see Vienna as the backdrop for this video - a city I know very well and also enjoy photographing there. Your tips on trusting your instincts when photographing the streets really appeal to me. It's amazing how urban life offers so many spontaneous moments waiting to be captured!

Very thought provoking video Peter which enhanced my perspective on the possibilities of street photography .

[mecki]

Ihr Beitrag bestätigt dass, was jemand über den Unterschied zwischen einem Profi - Fotografen und einem Amateur ausmacht : Der Profi fotografiert sofort ohne zu überlegen - der Amateur überlegt erst und fotografiert dann oder - auch nicht👍!

That picture of the bag with bread rolls in is probably the most interesting picture I've ever seen.

As a beginner street photographer your videos have helped me so much thanks alot Peter 🙏 cheers from Quebec !!

[dennismwallentin]

Thank you for an excellent video. When you present the framework of street photography in this structural way it strikes me that street photography is the opposite of landscape photography.

This video is putting into words what I do. I don't do a lot of street photography but went I get a chance I love it and have have often been asked why I tooka particular photo and my answer is always because I saw some5and liked it and so took the photo

[OwenEDell]

Excellent ideas. A few of my rules: 1. Avoid the ordinary. So much street photography is just pictures of people doing nothing much at all. I seek the unusual. 2. Capture the front of people, not so much their backs as they walk away. Taking photos of people's backs can be a giveaway that you are too afraid to get caught. 3. Look for interactions between people. That's so much more interesting than an image of one person just sitting there. Hopefully that will be helpful.

Thank you, Peter! I always learn something from your videos and I believe that this is also part of your goal. Sharing, probably, can also mean teaching. I have a question, if you'll allow me. I see more of your photos in portrait format than landscape. Is there a special reason for that?

[hippo_Thesis]

cca 8:50 - exact same in my case, would not be possible without prewarm 😉

[the_atomshop]

Peter, good advice, do you crop your photos and do you do much post in Lightroom?

[oscarc]

Peter, would you say it is best to have a "small" camera for street photography?

[wilfs]

Great video as always, Peter. I noticed that you and a couple of other photographers that I follow on Fb, all shoot with their camera in the portrait position, and rarely in landscape. Any advantage to this ? Just curious.

[MSACoachMike]

Isn’t publishing on line, photographs made in public, where the individual can be identified, without their permission, against the Austrian privacy laws (General Data Protection Regulation)?

[dennismccowan]

What do you do with your street photos? Do you sell them, use for marketing your photography?

[ToyoteroMundial]

I'm scared of getting robbed.
Armed robbery does make me nervous.😢

Peter...Hello...Liverpool Kev here again...must be getting a bit chilly in all well with you obviously...I love being in in touch with both you and Matti as you know...This is an interesting question...You may be familiar with James Popsys..UK based like me guy ..knows his stuff far more than me...I think he's great...but not sure what to make of hm going to Svalbard near Arctic Circle and taking a photo of a fire extinguisher haha...is it me?...is it being Emperor's clothes?...I am really not can understand that over used ..'Typical tourist shots' may become boring...but a fire extinguisher to quote an example that if I choose I may to take a quarter of a mile from my house I struggle to understand this...even if I both like and respect the photographer?...Take care as ever...Liverpool Kev
