1 Year of Street Photography Knowledge in 7 Minutes

In this video I distil the past year of street photography knowledge I've gained into a short video to help you improve your street photography fast. Of course there is a lot more to street photography than just the things I mention in this video, but I've tried to pack the video full of practical and actionable advice to make you a better street photographer faster.

Tim's vids pack more punch per minute than pretty much any other photography site on YT. He does such a fantastic job drilling down to the most important points and uses great pics to clearly demonstrate what he's talking about.
Keep up the great work Tim!

I always learn something from your videos Tim. The idea of creating a project is valuable and also helps with intentionality. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Looking forward to your content in 2025.

I don't have a lot of time to watch videos, so I'm quite selective with who's photo channel I watch. I'm glad I found you and your channel. Thanks a ton and Merry Christmas.

Useful street photography knowledge!👍👍👍

Great video. Getting close is one of the many lessons I'm working on.

Love the long term project idea. I'm going to start setting up some folders to build ideas around. I like that. And the layers thing was one of many things I grabbed from that incredible interview with Eduardo Ortiz. That was really a swell video. One of my favorites of the year.

Hi
I have been following this channel and your photos from the beginning and I am impressed with the progress you have achieved. It was a very good decision to switch from digital to film. I see that you take photos with a camera without a light meter, could you share how you deal with measuring light in a scene? Do you use external measurement, the rule of sunny 16 or do you rely on experience?

So much great advice in a short vid. Thx!!

[skolire]

Hiya! Amazing video, , I wanted to ask what manual settings youd recommend for street photography. Of course, every situation suits different settings better or worse, but when a moment is so fleeting to capture, what settings do you normally leave your camera on/around? Thanks!❤

Great video!!
Did i see the Canon P in your shots and in the shelf behind you?

[nicolelee]

Really good advice. I'm an oldie who has just bought a second hand decent camera and am awaiting a lens I bought. I'm trying to think about it before I even start because I want to photograph very differently to how I use a smart phone. I did a lot of film photography when I was young and feel like my skills and intentions have dissipated with the overuse of my smartphone camera, where I take thousands of photos in a short time especially on holiday. So thanks for the advice! Cheers

Your pic of the policeman at the protest really stood out.

Cheers Tim. Thanks for the insight in this video. Just wanted to let you know that the link to the ebook didn't work for me. ...oh, and Merry Christmas!

Excellent video Tim. Looking forward to what you put out in 2025.

Merry Christmas from Toronto
