What are all the TYPES of Street Photography you can do?

Hey guys! The best way to do street photography is to have a plan before you step outside. But what CAN you shoot? In this video we explore ALL the types of street photography subjects you can capture. The goal here is not to be a be-all-end-all guide, but a step to understanding the variety of photographs we can create on the streets. I am by no means a street photography expert, so comment with anything you think might help the group.

Let's do this!!

Cheers,
-Omar

GUYS! I worked so hard on this video. Crazy how 17 minutes can actually take over a week. Please give it a thumbs up if it helped you at all. Cheers.

Street shooting in Brasil may be a little dangerous, but I love it. I have a real problem in dealing with people, and I LOVED the "people implied" idea. Really great.

One of thee most helpful street photography videos on YouTube. Thank you Omar ❤️

This is a 5 star ⭐️ video Omar. Thanks heaps man !
Simplifies, clarifies a confusing genre, I can now focus on one type at a time.

This is the BEST explanation of street photography I’ve ever seen! Actually it’s the only explanation I’ve ever seen, but it’s really cleared it up for me. Thank you!

I can't believe my good fortune to stumble upon this video. I have been doing photography off and on for close to 50 years. I take a picture of something almost every day. This is the most concise, well thought out and informative explanation of street photography I am aware of. Great job!

[desaiortegren]

GREAT breakdown of this overwhelmingly vast genre, while still keeping it real with your great way of being you :) One of your best so far IMO. Feel so inspired right now, thanks a bunch and keep up your great work!!

Mr. Gonzalez,
This is my favorite video from you, the way you’ve explained the street photography with the whole diagram is beyond one’s expectations! Your video is a hundred times more potent than the ones that most people actually pay for.
Very Grateful. A lifetime subscriber.

I'm still new to street photography and this is very helpful to someone who might be having an "identity crisis" as to what kind of photos they're more inclined to taking when out on the streets. But I've found that the best way to learn is to dive in, learn from experience and in time you'll know what you love and feel comfortable with shooting. It's a never ending journey and expect a lot of failures along the way 😊

This is such a thorough categorization! It really puts my mind at ease to see so many different types of street photography acknowledged since there's always debate around what constitutes street photography and what doesnt

[paulasimson]

Your hard work paid off, Omar. So helpful and well thought out.

[nicm.]

Excellent video! Thanks for putting this together. I’ve been really drawn to the “snatched” type of street shooting for some time. But this has really given me something to think about. You’re the man!

[franciscogil]

I loved this so much! Omar, I wish half my teachers had been as funny yet efficient as you are, I'd have learned a lot more in high school! Keep up the good work!

[anshbka]

Man this was one of the best videos I have watched in about a week. I really needed this. Thank you so much for helping out

[frankbelt]

One of your best videos. I love how you have broken the genre into different categories. Good job. 👍🏼

[segzeeman]

This is honestly so good!! It’s a resource photogs can use. Great job Omar!!

[alexkim]

Best video I've watched in a while! I was aware (or just slightly acquainted) of all the different types of photography you've mentioned. But distinctively putting them in different categories gave me a better understanding of each type. Better understanding = better photos. THANKS!!

[garydavies]

Great job Omar and thanks! You have given me plenty of food for thought, and obviously a lot of time and preparation has gone into this video. Keep up the good work!

[gotahave]

You are brilliant in your your videos. I love all of them. I never realized they “street photograph “ can be broken down into so many aspects. Thanks!
