I really think this is one of the most valuable series of videos on UA-cam. It's really amazing to see the workflow of a fellow photographer and being able to get a glance at other places. I empathize with your friend's story. I had something similar happen to me (minus the beating), but me (and my brother) got followed by about 20 people. Mind you, we were walking near a train station, and we didn't take any pictures because we knew that part of the city as dangerous. It was fortunate to have law enforcement nearby. But in some years of taking pictures in the street, this is the only inconvenient scene happened to me. One of the most valuable skills for street photography is "reading the room". After some time, you get a sense of when and where you can click your shutter, so you subconsciously avoid these kind of situations. Really love the framing in the photo of the old lady on the staircase, its simplicity really strikes, need to look closely at the pictures on your instagram!
As usual, great video, great stories, great photos, great music and way too underrated channel! I've just started with photography and found your videos very informative and helpful. Thank you sir!
Great video! The most fun ive ever had with street photography was many years ago in Havana, Cuba and Cuba in general. The people were absolutely wonderful. One time I heard a voice say, "¡Un americano con una cámara!" And had people wanting to pose for photographs. I was surprised at the number of people who were fluent in English. And the occasional street musicians were great. Oddly enough, I felt safer in Havana than any big american city
Be safe out there brother 😮it's different places..Im a newbie but haven't gotten a confrontation...the truth is really to be keep safe ..glad to you out on film...this video was 🔥
I remember a few years ago a street photographer was at the Notting Hill Festival in London and was beaten to a pulp and hospitalised after taking photos at the event - he obviously took a photo of a gang who took exception.
How's this for a coincidence -- I was almost finished watching this video (after watching your video with Tim Jamieson -- great video!) when I literally got a Notification that Patrick Lancaster and an Italian journalist were attacked in Tbilisi. Luckily, they're okay. There's heavy Wall Street interference there at the moment, so there is real danger.
Love it, i learned a lot from u. When you use the digital fujifilm, how do you feel with auto focus, is it quick and does it truck properly moving subjects?
I had bad feeling about street & portrait photography in Georgia actually, people reacted angrily/rudely. I hope it was just a matter of bad luck, but I decided to shift my photography to "street landscapes" instead, which is a shame as I love people. Anyway, I'm glad you had a good one!
Interesting, I dont think it's the easiest place, but neither the worst. You can see in the video, both angry and happy people lol. From 1 to 10 in scale of how hard it is to take photos: it's probably a 6 or 7. Not the easiest, not the hardest. If I knew the language, it'd be easier.
Wow that is pretty intense what you just described! Street photography was my first passion, but I switched to landscape for tranquility. I just finished my Argentina vacation recap, it would be great if you can check it out.
Lovely video bud! there are some tricks you can do to be a bit more stable, like always having three points holding your camera. You'd be surprised how much more stable are things when you put your eye in the viewfinder. Argentina is awesome! Take care and keep those videos coming.
Same with my mom, she hates being on a photo so she always tells me not to take one of here when i have my camera out near her, just respect people's wishes tbh
That’s different context tho. In the streets I’m not going around asking people if they wanna be on a photo or not. Yet, it’s not right to attack someone.
@@eortizfoto I do think that attacking someone did go a bit far but I do understand why they got angry when a street photographer was taking photos while there are kids playing. Too many weirdos out there or organized crime. They simply didn't understand his purpose of him taking that picture.

Thanks a million for keep coming back to my videos! really appreciate the support!
take care on your photography journey too bud!
Great photos Eduardo... I especially like the one of the gentlemen framed through that van door.
Many thanks! Although I missed the focus point on that one. It’s set to infinity I think.
As usual, great video, great stories, great photos, great music and way too underrated channel! I've just started with photography and found your videos very informative and helpful. Thank you sir!
I'm glad that I can help on your journey! thanks for watching!
Great and interesting video! I like the photos tho.
Saw the description, which clicked me and didn't even expect that POV would be from my hometown😁
thanks a million for watching, hope you like the way I portray your city!
@@eortizfoto Sure! I'm trying to improve my street phptography and your work is very motivating!
As usual. Great video bud. 🥰

I can relate to that, oddly enough, I feel safer lost in the Middle East, than in my home country. Take care still!
Great story man, and I agree that if possible, keep at it despite being subjected to those unfortunate circumstances.
shit happens, the important is how we deal with the issues on our journey.
Be safe out there brother 😮it's different places..Im a newbie but haven't gotten a confrontation...the truth is really to be keep safe ..glad to you out on film...this video was 🔥
hey bud! thanks a lot for watching, as always. take care!

what i experienced in Georgia on the markets is, that people are more worried about the fake brands they sell and beiing photographed with it.
Welcome to Tbilisi bro. Hope you enjoy our wild streets 🫣☺️
i do! it's a great place for street photography bud! thanks!
Love it, i learned a lot from u.

Hey there! Thanks for watching. I focus manually bud. I don’t use any sort of tracking. I mainly try to use zone focus.
@@eortizfoto impressive, that reflect long experience and talent. Each picture is sharp
Gamarjoba! Sorry about your friend. Tbilisi is an underrated city. Great photos with your Rollei 35.
It is! but it seems that more people are coming to Georgia, year after year.
Safety first, there's no photograph that is worth losing a camera; much more -a life.
Totally!!

I’ve been yelled at a few times in Russia.
