Street Portrait Photo How To
Starring: Clay Enos
Clarity +100
No emotion and HDR black and white. BAM! Photographer
People who like this video probably read the title and listened to what he said ... both pretty big hints that this is about portraits. Google his work ... he isn't crapppp ... he's simply fantastic at what he does. Probably why Hollywood hired him instead of us...
Ash finally someone I like
The photos aren't amazing, but I like that this guy has gone out there (which takes some guts) and has had fun with it. He is obviously passionate and that is commendable.
@3:08 “The real magic is the interaction” ...spoken like a true artist and not one of those build a photographers
Fortunately for Clay, the people he works for,and those he photographs; he doesn't get caught up in pedantic nonsense many people here see lost in. Perhaps why he's successful at what he does..why clients like to work with him. I've not met Clay in person but our work crosses over in the same industry. I totally get what he's on to. Clay is passionate about photography and generous in sharing this passion and understanding...there are no secrets nor shoulds in photography.
Duhhh muh bebantic
Thank you very much for your video. This is an excelLent "how to" video. I see some questions about the process. If you photograph to be famous, glamerous, ...... whatever, you are not a photographer! This guy is gritty and talented at what he is doing. Don't think so, then go out and try it. What will he do with his images? Go to his site and look! His access to the people on his site shows that he is probably making a living doing what is his passion. Quite an admirable position and I, for one, am envious.
Fantastic work guy! Thanks!
What a happy smiley guy,why would people not want to get photographed by him
No, it's not street photography -- it's Street Portraits. Big difference.
Clay needs to make an hour long dvd because i would so buy it!
If you do this, do you have to get every random person you photograph to sign a permission form?
How the heak do u get photos like that?? the clarity and contrast is just perfect to my eyes and I'm DYING to know how to get that effect
badly made HDR is like porno.
but thanks for shooting tips!
he has such a great personality.
Honestly a great video just showing the in/outs of talking to people.
LOVED This VIDEO, So Informative/ Great pointers for someone just getting into photography as a Hobby to start out. I would love to meet Clay Enos because I use a Wheelchair & I would love some more pointers. THANK YOU...
Cool video and good advice - but I didn't like the finished product. Wayyy over photoshopped, IMO. The portraits had no soul.
Making it simple but so bloody good at the same time.
Love the b&w style and gritty feel of the images. It has inspired me to get off my backside and out the studio and into the street.
@griddamus Good point, digital can be more practical for stuff like this. And thank you for still appreciating film!
Thank you for an awesome time watching your work you have an awesome additude
I have a 1.8 and I love it, it gets the job done, and its much cheaper than the 1.4. If money is not a problem then I would go for the 1.4.
Madd photog stance 2:24 haha. Also any ideas why Clay doesn't use the vert grip?
You dont have to be in open shade. If you know your exposure and use any modern dslr, it can handle the highlights if you expose correctly. I you shoot negative film the highlights will never be a problem at all.
Probably to prevent unwanted shadows because of the lack of space between subject and backdrop is the reason I see no flash or catchlights in the eyes reflections in glass? I think it would be a great, quick way to get interesting images for ones portfolio/website. I wonder how to handle model release? I've been wanting to try this with my RB67 maybe using instant film and/or B+W
Love his attitude.
Bravo! Finally some usable information.... and a lot of it! Thank you!
How big do you think the white background is?
@HogbergPhotography Different strokes for different folks. For what he does, and the aesthetic he's going for, he likes nice flat light. Although nice direct light, modified just right, can be more interesting when handled correctly, it's always easier to add contrast than remove it in the 'darkroom'.
Plain, simple and straight approach, I like that.
But I really dislike his post-processing
PLEASE make a tutorial on how to make those effects! i love it!
really nice work. high pass filter ?a little much maybe but love the crops,cool .
Fun approach to candids.
I dont think its "Just" anything...its someone doing what they feel inside...enjoying it...and doing it well...who defines what "Street Photography" is...why waste time defining something...something done from the heart speaks for itself...it doesn't need to be defined or fit into a category.
Sensational shots and top video Clay - both entertaining and informative. I saw a c-stand on camera rihgt - did you use any flash?
I hate being photographed, but I'd be happy to let him photograph me.
Seems like a great guy!
Enough with the highpass on overlay already! It makes your photos look like a cheap HDR.
how big do you think it's the white background?
What do you say if peeps ask you what happens with the photo's ? Do you make them availeble to them if they want them ?
Really enjoyed this video.Nothing major fancy as far as the set up,but the shots look great,especially the ups guy.
Nikon D3, with a 50mm f/1.8 lens; sorted. he loves the b & w filter :p
are they HDR photos?
That could be applied to videography.
It would be interesting to do it in a small town.
Great personality. Regular photographs.
inspiring idea, i like this a lot.
I'm really curious what he does about model releases when he does these portraits.
very nice job! gooooood postproduction!
Great video with some handy tips! Would like to see more like this... thank you for making and posting this....
This is so great! I would love to try this sometime. Great work!
not unless your intending to use the images for advertising use etc, personal use like blogs etc it's legal but always respect their views!
this guy is my idol!
is in SF, near Royko Photo center?
The post processing is just a bit over the top for me, too much detail in the edges. Almost has that HDR glow =\
Cool idea though, I want to try this sometime.
Nice photos, did you bring your own whole sheet of paper?
high contrast
Nice, why is there no photographers like that in Copenhagen...
Right?? What about image licences?
love the idea
excellent work
well done, thanks. I need to follow your advice on just asking...
how does the pics come out like tht??
that's awesome!
this was awesome, how can still have 8 dislikes? great photographer and person
i like b/w photos and his minimal equipment...
Love this
Thank you, yes
Clay Rules !!!
@kind18cch Nope, they just extremely post-processed.
great video thanks
cool idea.
Love it anymore tips??
Thanks, that was great:)
process a portrait like a HDR from hell.
@kind18cch
There isnt that much post done on them, the main changes i can see straight away is a boost to contrast and obviously it being black and white. This is a nice effect for every now and then, but if you shoot don't forget that flattering coloured photos witha normal street backdrop nicely out fo focus can be just as powerful and even more intimate witht he subject. Also, it's nice to give the people you shoot your card incase they want copies of your shots ;)
Excellent Like your Style Maybe not for the UK we are too "uptight" and the serious issue of someone calling the cops:0
what lense
Nikkor 50mm 1.4D
The first pics I see are all retouched! ahah
cool!!!
WTF did I just watch ? HDR on Portraits ?
cool
@Java820616 yes
Ok, I got a question, what is the purpose he got portrait shots of different people? I mean, what those shots are good for?
They are good for expanding your horizons. They are good for the people like it and it makes them feel noticed. It is good for learning to shoot on the fly. It is good for the fact that if you are out and about and need some practice you do not have to deal with canceled appointments. Me personally, I talk to them, take their name and let them tell me their story. Then I post it on my fb page. People enjoy reading it. For some, they take a second look at what they initially thought about the person. I for one have no experience in portraits. It is free schooling. Is that a good enough list? :)
@theredrooter There is no 'wrong' in phtoography, or anything creative for that matter.
I used to do something similar except with chloroform and without the asking people if it was okay part...
I always tell people that maybe I'll upload them to my facebook page and handle them a card....if they ask for the url. Most people don't care too much.
This video used to be titled 'street photography how to.' Take it easy.
The only problem with this is the lack of film.
All the pics I've seen in this vid were crap imo.
Put your head above the parapet, are your shot's on You Tube ?.
What is he doing wrong?
@sleepgolfer77 nah i like the high pass : ) all photos doesnt have to look super realistic....
If you have a $5k+ camera , don’t tell me not to get hung up on the gear.
"You can get to the top by being a good wage slave!" *is millionaire*
hi friend
I honestly find his "street portrait photography" not good at all.
They look like they have been draganized in post processing
@fenster666
Great Master :)
Street portraits. Where'd you get the idea it was 'street photography'? And who cares if it's with a Nikon D3 or a disposable point and shoot?
All his photos are terrible, though.
It's a street portrait... The title doesn't say street photography >_>
Massively over photoshopped. What a shame
Of course, but I don't think he pretends this to be street photography: "street portrait"
HDR should be forbidden by law. Too much alpha male energy here. His attitude is as agressive and uncomfortable to experience as his pictures...
He seems more like a cuck than anything else.
