Fine Art Street Photography PERFECT FIRST LESSON

In this video, I learn to photograph Fine Art Street Photography.

Last week, I teamed up with Gareth Danks a Fine Art Street Photographer and headed to London. My objective was to learn how to create Street Photography images in a Fine Art Style!

I have a deep passion for Street Photography. I also love creating Fine Art Landscape Images. Because I love both, I thought it was about time I tried to combine both passions so that's where Gareth comes in.

Gareth is a Photographer by profession and he's a highly admired Fine Art Street Photographer too! So, if ever I was going to learn a new style then there's no better teacher out there!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Gareth for his time and patience... especially the latter :)

As a street photographer you can be a runner (what most are) and wandering the streets looking for shots. Or you can be stationary (what Gareth does, and I do) and pre-select foreground, background and light, and just let people walk into the scenery. Depending on the setting you selected, you can actually combine the fine art approach with the candid approach. I personally think, that this latter attempt is what leads to those really good street photography shots, because they combine the live of candid with the artsy flavor of fine art style. The problem with this approach is, that you won't go home with hundreds of shots, but only with a few dozen, if you are lucky, and sometimes with even less. What again makes this style of street photography very appealing to analog shooters, since it reduces cost massively.

Just found and watched this...well done!

Enjoyable video, but seeing Gareth taking shots of the Millennium Bridge with his backpack unzipped gave me the heebie-jeebies! Whenever I have a backpack with gear in London I have it zipped, padlocked, over my belly and with a high decibel alarm strapped to it! Well, maybe just zipped with a small padlock on it :)

Patience certainly pays off when you’ve found a good location with good light, as you show in the sample photos. 👍🏼

And congrats on not triggering the mass security guard events you two normally create whenever you’re out shooting together 😂

Always a great watch when you and Gareth get together doing street photography and no one even told you put your cameras away or move on. Gareth does have an amazing eye for this style of photography.

Amazing video, not boring at all, I can't wait for part II.

Great video. I have never really fancied 'street photography' as such, being self conscious about 'snapping' people in the street, but this for me is a new concept and inspirational.

I can't understand English good, but this video was magic. How fantastic is the street photography. Congratulatios and greetings from Brazil.

Been following and watching Gareth for a long time but seeing him in action through a different person is showing how dedicated he is and thanks to you for this video, and sharing the process and the progress too.

Great video, loving learning about different genres

[coyotelarry]

You think you know everything and realize you don't. Isn't that the amazingly wonderfully thing about photography...

[lpark]

This was terrific - so great to see the thinking and process behind the shots 🙏🙏🙏😎

[hardwaybets]

What a fantastic video! Gareth has mad skills! Thank you and him for sharing this insight into quality street photography.

[zivliv]

Very interesting. It seems to me that it's not about "having the eye", but rather "training the eye".

[theintroverttraveler]

Great video, one of my favourite ever on street photography. Learning to see is key

[drb_kd]

what an amazing experience to be in; imagine walking around with these two legends

[Scotphotoamateur]

Stunning images. Great inspiration for a city dweller who can’t get out into countryside as much as he would like.

Gary, you NEED a tilt screen (not a side hinged flip out screen) but a tilt. Brilliant for inconspicuous street photography.

[GarethDanks]
