[gordon]

Thanks Peter. Learned several things here and enjoyed many of the photos!

[ericlahra]

Always enjoy your content Peter, and the extra bonus for me is that I was born in Helsinki and spent the first 25 years there, so there are lots of familiar scenery’s in your videos. Now taking photos for alcohol industry in Australia and landscapes and portraits as a hobby. Thank you again Peter and keep up with the good work.

Thanks Peter, beautiful example shots for each of your tips! - I do too much spray and pray - will try to keep these tips in mind and be a bit more intentional on my next outing putting these ideas into practice!

[wongkenneth]

I like street photography very much, and your video is a good lesson for me to improve my skills. Thank you for sharing.

[Kardinal]

Highly useful information. We usually try to grab everything in to frame. This video is must watch for all new street photographers. Thank you.

[dull_Asian_dad]

Some very nice scenes that you have captured, well composed. It must be so hard to record both video and stills, but it's very effective to see the stills as it happens. Thank you.

[stephen-wahl]

Dude you're amazing! Red tracksuit shot is stellar

[zahariastoianovici]

One of the best learning in photography I had in very long time

[pottwalhannibal]

"Simple backgrounds." "Sometimes you might have to wait for something to happen." "Think about the composition beforehand." "Get your settings in the camara all set [...] and then just press the shutter button when the thing happens." Exactly my approach to street photography. So true!

The girl in red is a great shot well done

[Liquid_People]

I was searching for a video about brutal minimalism. I found this instead. It was enjoyable. Thanks.

[wilfs]

Thanks Peter, another angle to try out that I never gave any thought to.

[greenNRGinit]

Hello Peter, I just learned of you & your awesome talent. Now, I want to do minimalistic photography. Continue to post great shots. 📸👍🙌🏼

[Hodenkat]

I love all of these photos! Thank you for all the instruction!

[papa.alfredo]

I am vey happy for having found you. What I liked the most of the video is, how modest, quiet and clear you are and how great you talk about the matter! I am starting again with photography, and would love to get sooner than later a Fujifilm for street pictures. However, I also love color landscape, architecture and wildlife photography too. For my little budget to start, I am getting an eye on the Sony DSC RX10 Mark IV which is a complete package from wide angle to 600 mm zoom, special for wildlife but capable on many other types of photography, I will test how it works for street photography too which some videos explain that it workds very well. After I get this camara, will go finnally for a Fujifilm X-T3 II or maybe the X-S20. Their color specs and those film simulations have made me very much interested in having one. I am not a videographer and will never be, but, I am willing to start the photography as it it my main passion after music creation. Your video showed me much more that never is too late to start again for a passion that never left me. I thank you so much for entertaining me and watching with such great joy, I will watch all your videos one by one in the comming days. I send you many greetings from the city of Muenster, Germany, wish you a nice there over there! Alfredo.

[denistessier]

Excellent tips! Practical and simple - as always! I've learned so much and always look forward to your videos, Peter.

[johnyutzey]

Wonderful images here. I do like detail shots and especially minimalist shots as a change of pace from my usual shooting. I should do more of both. You have inspired me. Many thanks for a great video.
