In this video I explain how I like to adapt and use the different forms of natural light available to us on the streets. Enjoy! Directed by Biz Thompson.
Thank you to everybody for the welcome here on UA-cam, especially to those who have subscribed. Also all the video theme suggestions are much appreciated!
Dude these 10 minutes are already more educating than 99% of the videos i've seen the last 6 months. Really thank you for doing this!!! I'm an amateur photographer just starting up the hobby and i really really appreciate your time and work put into this.
Fully agree! I’ve been using the multi-metering mode forever! I’m switching to spot metering on my camera for these situations. Hope to get some nice, contrasty/dramatic images. Strong work on this video! Keep ‘em coming. Thank you for sharing your experience and your knowledge!! 👍🏽📸👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@carlosmcse as i said, i'm an amateur hobbyist in photography. I havent taken any lessons and all the overcomplicated technical stuff about metering and a thousand variations can get frustrating to a newbie. Alan's simple and fun approach works for ME personally. I suggest you stop advising ppl what to watch and what not to and let them make their own decisions about what works for them :)
Can't wait for Alan to do a review of what 50mm lens is best for a Leica - I can already tell it will be wayyyy better than some peoples attempts on UA-cam 😂
loving your conent! especially your presentation! it makes it not only educational but also fun to watch! keep it going! what i loved the most in this video is the showcases and how you explain each. looking forward to every vidoe you are going to post ! much love
Sir, your video tutorial has indeed served as a masterful guide in the art of capturing light through the photographic lens. I am most seriously pleased.
Your explanation of spot metering in this video was the best I’ve heard. Immediately made me reach for the camera and crush down the exposure. Many thanks!
10k subscribers in just a couple of days, pretty impressive but not surprising. I have seen you present in other forums before but never realized you had quite a sense of humor. Thanks for all these examples, very helpful. I look forward to seeing more of your vlogs.
Nice video Alan intresting way you are using light instead of chasing a certain subject your waiting for the subject to come into the light literally 👏👏👏😄
Thank you so much for this, Alan! It's not easy to be quite serious about honing one's craft, without losing the ability to have fun at the same time and be genuinely relaxed and always ready to learn new things and be surprised every now and then by what the process itself shows and teaches us each time. But you do it so well! I look forward to watching your other videos! All the very best!
This was excellent Alan, love the humour and the relaxed way you cover the subject. Your work is truly amazing and I will be following your videos avidly!🙏
Welcome to UA-cam Alan and thank you for sharing your knowledge and techniques in a hugely entertaining manner! Look forward to seeing many more videos from you 👍
I've been following you for some time on Instagram. I think you're a brilliant photographer. I'm deeply grateful for any insight you're willing to share. Thank you!
Congratulations on your new channel, Alan! A truly wonderfully entertaining and educational experience. A video to watch once a week to remind us about how critically important the "orange" is in photography! Cheers from Boston! I look forward to the next video!
Subscribed! Great video - I'm going to love this channel. I would like to see lots of stuff on metering, exposure compensation etc. An amateur like me would struggle more on that than composition. Thanks and good luck with the channel!
Superbly done. This channel will rise like a golden rocket in the sky of youtube photography and... Okay, apparently it already has.. Already looking forward for more!
First off 😂😂😂, I enjoyed your sense of humor! The information was well presented and easy to take in, your work is excellent and I look forward to more videos in the future.
Great first video Alan .Love your work , probably because high contrast black and white is one of my favorite disciplines. I currently shoot with Fuji as Leica is not in my budget. Congratulations and impatient to see more videos to learn
Same here i Juse Fuji XT-4 on 35mm prime and all set to black and white with my preferable adjustments … does not need a Leica it’s the man behind the camera …. O my latest buy is a Ricoh GRIII have to say it’s additional and does the job perfectly.
Wow. You are truly a very humorous and genuine person. The way you present the content is really fun to watch, besides the really high quality. Superbly explained, I already know all of it, but it was still very enjoyable and entertaining. You definitely get a like and a new subscriber!
Hi Alan, I've followed you for quite a while on Instagram, and it's great to see you here. I enjoy your humorous approach, and fabulous content. Thanks for this.
Good light and a beautiful woman will never ruin a photo. When you can smell the perfume, snap the shot. Looks like you are having a great time doing these videos, and likewise your audience of students are clapping in appreciation. Bravo! On a serious note, we are taking notes, as your works speak for themselves, thus you know of what you speak about. Thank you, Loren
Amazing video. Your shots are great also. I may have learned more about lighting in this short video compared to hour long videos. You definitely have earned a subscriber here!!!!!
Brillant, I started "doing" photography a cuple years ago and I am facinated, but my process is pretty mutch trial and error. I don't know about big names in this world and I am ashamed that I didn't know about you before finding this new channel. Your work is something else and I like very much this video and your explanations/example. I don't think that you will need any luck here on youtube, but good luck regardless 😅
Hi Alan, I stumbled across this video thanks, and I mean thanks, to UA-cam algorithms. Informative and entertaining! Impressed by your exhibition prints. Where do you get your prints done? Ref your frames, are they glassless or do you use anti-glare glass or acrylic? Keep up the good work please! ATB Bob May
I have to agree with some of the other comments below. A really informative 10 minutes. But I have a question about the laser vision photo. I have the book called Masters of Street Photography and it lists the 50mm lens being used for that shot. But in this video, you say it was the 24mm. I'm more inclined to believe what you say, rather than the text in the book. Also, do you use the Tri-Elmar lens or a prime for the wide-angle shots?
Such a fantastic video about the basics of photography ! Really helpful to visualise examples and on location shoot 👍 And what about that British sense of humour 😂
Your photos are exceptional. Question for you - do you add a lot of contrast post, or is that how you capture it in camera? My black and white photos always look very flat...
great video. you're gonna kill it mate. also, ive watched over 50 videos on exposure and film and shooting and metering and literally NO ONE has thought to point out literally WHERE on the picture they are metering like you've done @ 04:49 . it's so hugely valuable to see where you put your square so we can learn the relationship between the placement of the meter sensor to get the settings you need to get the picture you want. THANK YOU
Love the video. Absolutely great content, well explained, but more than anything else, I really enjoyed the humor. 😂 Can't wait for more content! Fantastic stuff, keep going!
Absolutely great video! I really thought you edited those dark areas in your images with Lightroom. Could you perhaps elaborate further in another video on the light metering and underexposing of your shots? I’d love to know more about the way you plan these kinds of shots and if you do any Lightroom work after that or that all of these images are like this out of camera?
@@jaychow94he does indeed, I already played around with it for a couple of minutes, but a full video on that topic would perhaps show some more of his thought process and his way of looking at an environment and ways to get a specific look. For instance, what if the point of interest isn’t light enough in comparison to the surroundings, but you’re still going for a dramatic look. You don’t always have the luxury to look for a different location or another time. So my go to process would be Lightroom, but I’m looking for ways to improve my streetphotography without the (excessive) use of Lightroom
@@vincentronden3202 There’s no workaround to it, unfortunately. It really is that simple, if you don’t have the dramatic light, you don’t have the dramatic looking photograph. You can always make your own dramatic light with flash, but that subject has already been covered at length by many experts.
Having followed your work (and amazing podcast!) since I began my own photography journey almost 7 years ago, and now having made it my own career, I am glad you made a youtube channel! A lot of professional photographers who actually make a living from photography don’t take the time (or have it) and don’t have the motivation or teaching skills to share what they learned to other photographers. Regardless of whatever numbers you get on UA-cam for the first years, I will happily follow this new journey of yours! You have my full support. Regards, Guillaume
I'm starting to explore your videos from the beginning and... WOW! This was an excellent and simple explanation that really puts a photographer's mind in place. "Tools of the trade" that area often (and easily) not taken in consideration while shooting. Terrific! You even laid the foundations of how to go up the ladder to achieve that beautiful negative space/high contrast photos of yours. Thank you for your generosity... and the best good humour 😊
So glad i found your UA-cam channel, not only are your videos fun to watch they are also very informative and not too technical which i love ,looking forward to the next video .I have been a street photography for 2 years now and love it.
I do my street photography with a NIKON D 750 + 50mm lens or a 70 - 300 mm zoom. And normally I am very opposed to NOT looking through the viewfinder. Masters like HCB only worked this way - simply because there was no monitor then. BUT: the way you do it seems to work just fine! What I sometimes do is to flip my monitor, hold the camera at bellybutton height and shoot "the Vivian Maier way". Works also with a long lens if you can place your camera on a restaurant table for instance. People don't notice anything. And you can "steal" some fine portraits!
Thank you for the insight and practical advice. It’s very encouraging to hear (and witness through your hands on demonstrations) that great pictures can be taken under any conditions. You’ve really got me thinking about how to use backlighting. I really enjoy your style and I hope you continue making videos. You seem to be a teacher at heart.
If this is how its going to be.... Roll on baby.... fabulous... loved it... did I learn anything... hell yes... did I think I would learn something... sort of....best of all... did I think I would enjoy learning something so much... well no... Just goes to show... if its INTERESTING.... then we all learn... can't wait for the next edition... thanks .. Yoki...oh and yes the caps are on purpose...
Hi Alan. I just 'found' you a couple of days ago. Have watched you in Paris and London and more. You have a great style; VERY entertaining AND informative. Thanks very much; I look forward to seeing more. Regards Kevin
Ohh man... You're talented and so funny 😂 Very interesting video about the natural light ☺️👌 "how to stay creative in streetphotography?" it can be a good subject 🤔
Great job! Any other clips on the metering and then taking the exposure down by 2/3 stops. You talk about it at 6:19. Is your settings on your camera Manual or Aperture Mode? Thank you in advance!
Yeah, simply put... illuminating. (I bring the puns from Alan's insta comments to YT everyone) My only quip, the sheer amount of B-Roll where you're lurking in the bushes...
Greetings Alan, I have just completed 3 of your videos, this one and 2-10/10. I have also subscribed, I have been taking photos for a very long time, I am not a pro, I went to school in Montana a wonderful space called "Rocky Mountain School of Photography". I love learning and with photography it's an every moment process. I LOVED the explanation of light here....the battery, camera & orange NICEEEE, I'll tell anyone I know to watch this. I loved the bird shots but I will never manipulate the birds natural process as in feeding them to get the shot. I learned this in school from our wild life photographer and it has just stayed with me. I loved how you mentioned you should not feed the birds than you did. This is more about how much I learned in 10:46 about light with an explantion and follow up examples. The best thing here was the props then moving to the photos...NICEEE loved it thank you
so pleased you've started this channel Alan. After taking a photo do you then ask the main subject, if recognisable, if they will give you permission to use their likeness, etc? If not have you ever had anyone contact you asking not to be featured/displayed, etc?
Amazing advice and shots. I have a question about selling photos or books with strangers in them. Most photo contests, magazines etc I've seen ask for model releases which is 99% impossible for street photography... what do you recommend?
Just found you today as I was looking for street photography videos and absolutely love your humor. I now will feel less depressed while out shooting because I’ll just imagine if you were there L😂L. Cheers from Savannah, Georgia!
Thank you to everybody for the welcome here on UA-cam, especially to those who have subscribed. Also all the video theme suggestions are much appreciated!
Editing maybe ?
Composition, exposure and metering, and of course, editing ;) Thanks for sharing your knowledge on UA-cam Alan!

That's the way to do it!
next video, how to wear your camera strap: over the shoulder, across the shoulders or behind the neck. yeah, over the shoulder is my signature
Thanks. That was enlightening 😂.
Your photos are exceptional. Question for you - do you add a lot of contrast post, or is that how you capture it in camera? My black and white photos always look very flat...
I try to get it as close as possible in camera. All my images have post processing done to them though. But less than you’d think perhaps
