Not stressing over things I think is the best advice. I’m coming back from long covid and relearning everything, which is frustrating. The journey is more important and enjoying the time

I was really into landscape photography.. after a while learning photography and stumble upon street photography I quickly change my style to it. It is rewarding indeed but very time consuming and energy, at the end of the day on post production you'll have that "one" sick photo and felt great to achieve!

I've been shooting abstract street photography for a couple decades and I really like the tip of not getting up into people's faces. When I started, I was told that was wrong because it is just not how to do it. I think it is great to see younger photographers telling people there is not a concrete, boxed in way of doing street photography.

I've been shooting for decades. I think I use P mode 98% of the time and M mode the other 2%. 😂
I love a camera with a good auto mode, anything to get the machine operation aspect out of my way is fine by me.

The photos you took and showed in the video are incredible. Congratulations! You reached a very high level in your photography

The best advice I have ever heard for street photography, using the KISS principle.

[gerardneedham]

Epic advise TK as always, I’ve never been inspired by photos of people’s faces but more how the person becomes a subject within the entire scene, love the input of multiple styles and genres of street photography.

Thanks for this video. I finally pulled the trigger and purchase my FujiFIlm xT30 ii last night, to start my journey on street photography. Super excited, I'll definitely take this tips along the way with me!

Thank you for the video! I love your photography. Sometimes, as you said, studying others' work inspires and teaches more than tons of books with dry theory.

'The best camera is the one you have with you'. Brilliant, thanks for a great video.

Good tips! I see videos on other channels where they don't seem to know what to show or photograph😮After 11 years of photography as an amateur, I can say that it is impossible not to do a good job 🎉However, you need an eye for beauty and to trust yourself that it doesn't cost you anything 😅 One remark is that good photos do not always have to contain people and everyone should find their own style and what they consider interesting to photograph 😮My style is on details, reflection and abstract 🍻 Keep up with good work 💯🔥

Sound advise for a newb like my self!

And so refreshing from all the "this is a gamechanger" and "should you upgrade" videos - thnx man.

Neat video mate. I actually think the later points are more important and help promote a photographers growth more.

I'm finding I'm loving street.. it's a wild ride!

Cheers for the video mate!

One thing about the gear: find the smallest, lightest lens you can find that's still in that 28-50 range for street just because you want your camera always with you. Or just get a Fuji X100 of any variant.

Thanks for this insightful and inspiring video. Myself I’m very new to street photography and am enjoying every moment like I am your videos. Thanks again and will look forward to your next upload.

Very good subject to talk about well your videos are getting better and better and i do appreciate that alot, I do agree with you about the gear because its always and has been always about the photographer not the gear and i do consider my self as an example, I do have a Sony A7 and A6700 but recently i bought a Canon 20D so i can enjoy the CCD sensor look, This made me a better photographer and it forced me to slow down so i can nail the shot in the right way, Street Photography can be done with any type of gear like an old DSLR with a cheap 50 mm its more than enough to enjoy SP, Thank you so much for this amazing video, At last since you are a Canon user i do recommend that you buy an old cheap DSLR because its a joy to use old technology....

Also for analog street photography, this was helpful. Thanks!

Here's a tip that you already know but new shooters may not. A crop sensor camera is actually better in a lot of cases because of the depth of field you get compared to a full frame. Pair that with a wide angle lens and you have a setup that's hard not to get focus with. Why is this important or an advantage? You can shoot at wider apertures and still get a good depth of field. This will allow in more light in low light situations. Another advantage to having a wide depth of field is that you can set up a zone focus. Focus on something that's 2 meters away and just about anything that walks in front of you will be in focus. You can stop down to f/8 just to be sure. You don't even have to raise your camera up to your eye and focus on a subject. You can even turn the auto focus off. I started shortening my camera strap so my camera is higher on my chest. I just walk around with my finger on the shutter button and turn my body so the camera is pointed at what I'm wanting to take pictures. You can get a lower perspective that way.
