jason does have a strong portfolio but it's being over run by images of his that are just meh, trying to cover six minutes of images that are strong/powerful take a very long time and i was highly unimpressed with the barrage of weak images. Steve Mccurry could cover six minutes with strong imagery, so could Elliot erwitt. I like jasons work when it's curated!
So true, sad the laws for this are different in all countrys, they load up all kinds of pics at facebook, while theyre drunk but complaining about people who take pictures of them in the street
Hi. The video was not bad. Interesting. But... with the utmost respect and politeness... could I please request that you shove that recurring piano solo where the sun don't shine? Sincerely, viewer annoyed by the recurring piano solo.
I prefer the 'in your face' technique, walk up to a person, click, walk on, don't turn around. The sneaky shot makes me feel uncomfortable. Good pictures here though so it's horses for courses.
I agree. I shoot with no attempt to hide. I wear bright colors, I put the camera to my eye, I pause to focus, and I smile after I take the photo. If I'm "caught" I acknowledge it and I'll talk with the person. Some are really offended and there's no way to calm them down. I simply apologize and sometimes agree not to post their photo and/or not to take any more of them. It may be legal, but it's not necessarily polite to take someone's photo. I get that. I violate that, so I'm definitely rude at times, by this definition. It's part of the thrill and beauty of street photography, IMHO.
Great video! I've always loved street photography and kind of partake in it myself (more in areas where it seems to be more ok for someone to walk around with a camera, such as Venice Beach and locations like that with street performers and people who are TRYING to get your attention. I've always been a little unsure about the "Legalities" of street photography but this video pretty much answered them. The streets are public and pretty much anyone can be photographed whether they know about it or not. Whether they have an issue with it or not is a different story.
Awesome work! I wish I lived somewhere as big and crowded as Chicago, it's harder to shoot street candids in a small town or suburb where only a few people are out walking at a time.
Everyone gets offended by everything these days. I've even had a person get offended that I'd taken a photo of someone that they didn't even know. When I asked them why they were angry about it they couldn't even give me an answer.
Great video, impressive shots too! Im often walking the streets of London 'shooting people', Ive been chased, sworn at, ordered to delete shots and even searched by the police, but nothing will take away the thrill of candids for me, one tip I can give and that is to find time to check the work out of other photog's, theres always something else to learn!
The interview was great, but it was completely overshadowed by the quality of the images. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight because the photos have my mind racing so fast.
Hey, do you know "photo SFX art" (just search on Google for it ...)? There you will find a smart free video explaining the right way to shoot impressive pictures. This made it possible for Joe to create photos which leave you with a jaw-dropping-effect after you look at them. Perhaps it will help you out as well...
Why do street photographers restrict themselves to concrete sidewalks and asphalt streets? It is legal to photograph in other, more comfortable, locations. See: petapixel.com/2010/08/24/introducing-the-photographers-rights-gray-card-set/
If someone took my picture I'd ask to see it and if it was a good black and white picture, I'd say "cool!" If it was colour, I'd say shoot street in monochrome, it gives it a timeless quality. The photos and the video are great, Inspirational in fact.
I shoot raw so, either way, the color profile will be there sometimes knocking the vibrancy back so it's not full monochrome but not really full on color either looks really nice

Just takeIt? That will get you a slurry of profanity if you don't ask. I alway ask, in most cases people are reseptive and will agree to have thier picture taken if you ask. be careful.
Found this one, about 10 years later..... How beautiful these photos are, a pleasure to watch :-))
Fantastic video. I love taking images of bldgs and textures. Thanks for the heads up on technique. Have heard of Vivian Maier. I'm in Chicago too. ...

some people are just dumb and arrogant. We must fight for what we think is right. Someone must document life, and it is our battle field.
5lav and
I really like your street photography, Jason. And loved your video above as well. Thanks so much.
his descriptions of street photography are truly wonderful

"yeah i was clicking away" lol I love your work and street photography as a whole!
I love street photography. Good video!

Please make more videos, they are brilliant
Simply awesome pictures.
Thanks for the tips Jason. As a photo 1 student, this is what I am most interested in as well, street photography. I love it.
Awesome work! I wish I lived somewhere as big and crowded as Chicago, it's harder to shoot street candids in a small town or suburb where only a few people are out walking at a time.
I loved this. Great interview. Great quotes. Excellent photography. Good work.
March 2020..coronavirus..very few people on Paris streets..still have my camera.
Nice video and interview Jason. Thanks for sharing in our group.
my favorite street photog video ,,,
"You can just steal it." i love this term, great B&W collection by the way
I agree with the others, this is a beautiful video and the narrating lady adds a lot to it. I'm glad I found this.
oh the joys of america and snapping people freely!
i love street photog, not so easy living here but i think im gonna give it a try
Excellent Work you do
really like the pics!
that was beautiful...
2:51...I can't be the only one who first thought to see Microft Holmes there, can I?
Everyone gets offended by everything these days. I've even had a person get offended that I'd taken a photo of someone that they didn't even know. When I asked them why they were angry about it they couldn't even give me an answer.
very interesting street video. A pleasure to watch.
Very nice!!!
Awesome video More please
Great little film 😊
Great piece! Thanks!
Nice video, Jason. I enjoyed the narration and the interview of your subjects. I too shoot from the hip or the gut.
I really enjoyed watching this.
yuh! edit out the most important part of what that woman had to say
This is awesome... gotta try it sometime without getting ass beat! lol
Cool shots and always shoot from the hip
@jasonmartiniphoto some very great shots in here, nice!
4:36. Dope.

I really enjoyed it... Great vid...Load us up some more....Oh.. and thanks.
Great pics!
Nice jingle

I love street photography, unlike landscapes and posed-portraits, theres always something different going on. Nice video.
Great vid! Love it! Subscribed! Keep on!
He's phenomenal! Does he use film or digital?
Beware of anyone who refers to his photos as “art”. They tend to love to talk a lot of shit.
Inspiring!
Great video but seems unfinished. Will there be more videos?

@JonathonC94 you know, a bad picture and she'd be like oh crap.
What's the name of the song please?
Any updates in 2022?
Or in 2023?

"...unless it was you know..." What do I know?
the picture at 17s is hilarious ha
I enjoyed this :-) Thank you
Some great work there. I guess someone has to do it. ;)
Świetne zdjęcia! Pozdrawiam!
Does ethics play a picture? Yes. I feel wierd when taking a picture of someone without their consent even though it is legal.
In the Philippines, they call street photography a stolen shot...hahahah nice stolen shots.
+dstefanek1988 i like that
thats all useful and all but Im a brown guy with a camera! what do I do?!
upskirt
At 1:44 the gent looks like Stanley Greene R.I.P
martini acts so guilty when he's caught.

J'aime beaucoup énorme,
What the heck is this music xD
hahaha
the sound levels in this are horrible... that loud piano is painful, while the women's voice is too low....
Just takeIt? That will get you a slurry of profanity if you don't ask. I alway ask, in most cases people are reseptive and will agree to have thier picture taken if you ask. be careful.
nice video but that music was terrible lol
too many useless snapshots. and shooting from the hip... daaaaaaaaak. nope.
Good pictures, stupid music.
What the heck is this music xD
