- You NEED to try this!!! How to use layers - Street Photography in Istanbul (ft Eduardo Ortiz)
Layering is a composition technique used in street photography to achieve depth and engagement in an image. But it's not easy to achieve!
In this video, I talk with Laying and street photography expert Eduardo Ortiz, about his approach to street photography. In particular how he sees and composes a layered image. Also, the vital ingredients using the layering technique in street photography.
This video was completely unplanned & I learned so much shooting with Eduardo in Istanbul! I hope you enjoy this very insightful interview! Definitely a video I'm very proud of.

This was an eye opener. That first photo blew my head away. Eduardo is a wizard. Thanks for sharing such great content.
Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks for the comment
Love Eduardo’s respect for his photo subjects so much. These are your most enduring videos Gareth.
Look like many YT street guys is doing street photography right now in Istanbul, but they really don't know where to take images in that huge city. Eduardo is home there. He feels the vibe of the city, knows the light and most importantly he has the eyes and composition skills for street photography with people involved. Good to see you back Gareth!
Istanbul can be very overwhelming at the beginning, there's so much going on everywhere that It is hard to focus on one section or portion of a place/scene. They will have thousands of good shots eventually, I believe. Nonetheless, most of the British photographers I have seen and met have a more aesthetic approach than me. They usually use the human element more as a punctuation or element to give the sense of scale. Different styles, I would say only.
'The people are more important than the pictures' 📸☀️
Great photographs with that 28mm👍🏻
Absolutely! The more I shoot street, the more I am in love with humanity. Thanks for watching and appreciating my work.
@1:56 The woman in the red dress absolutely stole the focus on Eduardo's shot.
Reminded me of that Matrix scene
The looks the three of you are getting!
What a joy to watch Gareth! And your joy to take part of his work method was priceless😊
I learned a lot and will try to take it out irl 👌👍🔝📸

Great to see you back

A wealth of valuable information . Fabulous shots but I'm glad you didn't ask us to choose a favourite from them !! Thank you for the vid.
Thanks to you for watching and appreciating the works done.
Really enjoyed that. I promised myself last summer I was going to get out and do some more street photography and it hasn't happened yet. We need an excursion to Cardiff one day mate.
Instanbul looks amazing. Full of character.
Cracking video Gareth - entertaining , informative , a real education. Loved it !
Absolutely! and Gareth edited the whole thing in practically a couple of days. Insane skills
hugely appreciated ian!! thank you
Superb film, featuring the international language of photography! Eduardo is a very intelligent photographer, I think we probably all learned something from this film, great stuff Gareth.
well said! Everywhere we go, images tell more than words. I appreciate your feedback
Great video Gareth, lots of interesting insights into the craft. Eduardo is great, admire anyone with that skill and enthusiasm
Thank you! It's been really nice to get such a huge amount of positive vibes and comments. Cheers!
thanks amte!! yeah very talented!!
Superb video Gareth!! Straight into real photography talk and a vibrant place, nailing shots! A breath of fresh air from Eduardo 😍👍
Thank you Mali mate much appreciated he’s a superb guy. Hope we get to meet up soon. Shame you’re not free this weekend
@@GarethDanks I’ve watched it twice! Shouting at the screen red sign red jacket 😂 yea I’m gutted mate! Really wanted to do something in Liverpool with you for years now!
Thanks man! I appreciate you enjoyed the content!
Great video. Loved watching how Eduardo worked the scene and also his interaction with the people on the street. Nice work Gareth :)
Thanks for watching Grant yes he is an amazing photographer and very very good with people
Thanks man!
Great content. Thank you.
thanks man!
Great Video Gareth, and also great to put a face to the name (Eduardo)!
Thanks for watching Ben!
Eduardo is also very good at explaining his technique. I luv his photography
Yes he’s a super photographer I was thrilled to be able to meet up with him
Brilliant video, really inspirational stuff!!
lovely to hear that!
Glad you enjoyed it allan mate!
Great video, welcome to Türkiye!
That guy can definitely shoot street…..so good.👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks man!
Beautiful photos from both of you. I wish my eyes and brain could spot those layered shots. I usually do the camping approach after I find good light and I like those shots, but I want to shoot these kind of pictures as well. I’ll get there one day! Thanks for the video
Cheers John. It’s definitely something that comes with a lot of practice and research. I couldn’t see the shots either at first. It took me a few hours then started to become more obvious
@@GarethDanks you can tell in the last few shots that you definitely zoned in on the technique. You think you’ll end up getting an 18mm to practice more?
Cool ideas. Great video.
Thanks so much for watching glad you enjoyed
Loved this video.
Thanks so much Adam
Thanks a lot!
Eduardo’s photos are excellent📷👍🏼
They are indeed. He is very talented
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it!
Nice lessons of streetphotography periodically I like to find this type of videos personally I learn a lot by seeing how they work in other parts of the globe (travel feeds creativity). greetings from South America📸✨
Gracias gracias por ver el video11
, Saludos de un chileno ahora en Bulgaria.
thanks so much mate!! appreciate you watching
Great video, thx
Glad you liked it!
Coincidence that you are in Istanbul at the same time as Fox and Faizal???? Enjoyed this very much!
haha.. no no.. it was an arranged meet..
Brilliant video mate, go look at Alex Webb's work though! Eduardo is a phenomenal photographer and one to watch, he should have 100x the following that he has. I don't know what it is about your videos Gareth but every time you post a street video you make the viewer feel like they're right there with you, that's what makes me enjoy them so much.
I agree! Gareth does a phenomenal job reading and following the phase and energy of the moment. I can't believe he put together this entire video in a couple of days. Also, Thanks for the comments about my craft, I really appreciate your support and advice mate. Cheers
Excellent watch
thank you! 😁😁😁
thanks mike mate.. hope you are well
My enthusiasm for learning will never wain (even @ 67 ) . Great video and something I will try out , PS : you were like a kid in sweet shop Ga 😁
He definitely acted like a kid in a sweet shop!
@@eortizfoto Excellent images Eduardo 👌👌
thanks john.. yeah amazing place!! hard not to be excited
I never. Knew what layering mean…thank you for sharing. Thought it was Photoshop layers lol
haha.. lots of types of layers in photography
Enjoyed this a lot. Just noticing there are loads of UA-cam contributors over there at the moment. Roman, Ivan chow.... Is there a photographers discount in Istanbul at the moment ;)
hahaha they came to conquer Istanbul! Or maybe to bring some things to the British museum.
@@eortizfoto Yes to plunder lol
well i'm not a thief, but yes there were a few of us over there.
Came back to this video for inspiration... I just noticed it's my hand and camera at 1:43! hahaha
Ohh man! ❤
Great vid and photos I really like the colour look of Eduardo's shots, can you obtain the recipe he uses for his xpro2? Thanks for sharing
thank bart.. send him a message mate
@@GarethDanks done! Have you ever done a photo walk in Belgium?
No mate. But I’d love to. ☺️
Great video, where did you find Eduardo - top fella. I need to have a go at layering now.
Since almost two years, I have been participating in a Gareth's street photography group on Facebook. That's how we got to know each other.
thanks paul.. hes a great guy.. featured in the f/8 magazine too
Wooｗ ❣❣ Amazing street photography from Japan ❣❣
Thank you very much!
Worth playing a few times to catch the key points of how Eduardo captures layered street images. Challenging method, needs much practice and spacial awareness, along w/lens capabilities, part of your second nature. Vid depicted way too many other photographers at the venue - detracted from the effort, IMO.
why did it detract?? all that effort into putting this together and its that that lets it down??
Is this supposed to be Paris?
Why do you say that?
so, Russians forced the guy to delete his shot, how ironic
how do we know there were russians??
@@GarethDanks The shop sign is in Russian and the woman speaks Russian - "Did I get into the frame? Blyat [fuck], where did they come from?"
(I'd personally ignore such demands, Eduardo didn't do anything wrong, but it's his choice...)
@@maxbashyrov5785 ohhh so nice to get the translation man! Well, as you said I did nothing wrong. Yet, I truly believe that respect starts by accepting that some people just don't wanna be photograph.
Why not change the distracting background elements from red to another colour? The fact that it was dyed red was arbitrary.
presume Eduardo doesn't want to change colours as he has a keen interest in documentary photography so would likely just adjust hues and not change the image too drastically.
@@daveincork Fair enough. It's not mentioned, but I wonder if he ever considers leaving things in that are 'distracting'? It seems to me that if he's documenting anything specific then it's the mystery to the situations. There's obviously things going on, but the stories are unclear. I thought the red leg in one of the later shots enhances that sense of mystery with a certain oddness. But I appreciate that photographers tend to like things neat, geometric and closed off rather than, say, how artists often have an open and chancy approach.
@@j_a_lee hey there! I think that it really depends on your goal as photographer. In my case, I want to document life as "real" as possible, I don't do any heavy editing, changes colours heavily, nor remove people from scenes. For me, a good picture is done on camera. As I include many elements in my scenes, I feel that I have to make sure that my scenes are also easy to read (sort of organizing the chaos). So, If I include mystery in a shot. It has to deliberate and not by mistake.
