I was always nervous about street photography because I had this idea that true street photography was shooting people up close, and it would inevitably lead you to get yourself into conflict situations. However, I think over the past couple of years I've found a style of street photography which suits my personality better. On this recent trip to Rome I took the time to make this video sharing my philosophy when shooting on the street, in the hope that it helps you to broaden your own definition, and give you the courage to head out and shoot your take on the streets where you live.

A real photographer in UA-cam. Not about gear, but reallly focus on how to take good images. My favourite channel so far!
Zheng Jason Have to agree you. Good stuff.
Then you should probably check out Jamie Windsor, he is like that too, but more upfront
Totally agree with you
@@frankwu1713 Yeah, Jamie is great too. All these guys have different personalities and approaches and we can learn from all of them, and each other.
omg this poor man has been searching for a 'real' photographer all this time. Pity this man
Street photography, you don't ask permission unless you want to do street portraiture, which is something different from street photography. Street photography is people in a context, not just people close up, it's a relationship between elements in the scene.
there is no definition, just your own
@@terryjp3050 There's a definition for every other type of photography, why not this? I agree with him. It's not that there isn't a definition for street photography, because there is the traditional definition which is based in photojournalism and documentary photography.
I asked a person he didn't answer so I thought it was ok ? He later reported me to the Dominican Republic national police in Santiago .They asked me for id for what I was doing I showed my passport . The quickly looked through it then handed me back my passport and left
@@robertbutts9835 I've had worse
Sean Tucker, I don't believe in heros, but if I had to have a photographer hero, it would be you. Not only because of the photography you produce, but because of the literal conversation that you have amassed here on social media (youtube specifically). It matters. Your videos matter. Sharing your thoughts matters. You carry yourself with a great deal of integrity and conviction, you inspire me to realise that this thing that we do revolving around capturing and creating imagery, is a truly worthwhile expendature of the finite amount of hours that we have in this arc of life between birth and death because photography matters. You have a heroic body of work in lifting that up.
Thanks Terence that’s very kind
It’s so good to hear a person speaking with heart here.
accurate and true about what shooting REALLY is
Well said Terance, what a blessing you are 🙌🏽
Agree with you. Sean Tucker is my new hero in the subject of photography.
I don't know how you've made one of the busiest cities in the world seem so tranquil. You're some kind of genius at this man. Much respect.
He's just an early bird that catches the worms.
Get up at the crack of dawn on Sunday in Italy and I guarantee it will be tranquil.
terry breedlove ?
Matthew Wu Answering the OP asking about making the scenes so tranquil. In the video he talks about how he achieves the effect he likes. Exposing for the brighter areas and letting the blacks go under a bit.
Not just Fan Ho, there are hundreds of photographers who has mastered the art of silhouette and shadow. I would certainly called them the masters of street photography without any doubt.
You are putting the light back into my photography. I have been on hiatus for far too long, thanks for helping me find my way back... Don't stop what you are doing!
Visuals.Message.Inspiration - Every time I watch one of your videos
I appreciate you leaving the older posts on instagram that you're not particularly proud of. It's great to see the journey of a photographer. Thanks for all you do. Keep shooting.
One of my favorite things about Sean is his ability to tell a story. Another is not only his willingness to break a "rule", but to flaunt his breaking it. :)
I usually dont comment on youtube videos as I watch n numbers of them daily cause I want to get better at my photography. But this video is what I needed the most. As being on street I just CANT aim at people, want to stay away from conflict and then still want to do street photography. And everyone else I talked to as how to improve response is always "just ask them". Its better said than done. But first time someone said "its ok to not to go upto people as there are tons of other things out there to be clicked".
Second... one statement by Sean "street photography for me is to capture the feel of being present at that place" thats exactly what I want to click but people around me always underestimate this ideology.
Thank you so so so much Sean for this video and finally I found the hero I can look upto in order to learn the craft I love.
In order to take candid photographs of strangers on the street, you have to be confident and somewhat fearless. This kind of street photography is not for the timid. Being timid means you're limited to the types of street photography that don't make you feel uncomfortable and that's fine if that's what you really want to photograph. If deep down you resent the fact that you're not getting the pictures you really want, because you're timid than keep doing it until you become more confident.
As always, was eagerly waiting for your video.. huge respect and love.. for being a wonderful person.. for your humbleness and thoughts.. really appreciate the different subjects you address every time and the way you make it real..
Fan Ho was definitely something else when talking about photography. His corpus of work is so amazing !
Thank you Mr Tucker for being so honest, humble, and open with all of us. You're a great guy and a great photographer!
I love your heart and vulnerability as a photographer. Keep being you ❤️
These kinds of videos are what I love about UA-cam - and this is a particularly good one.
This guy is the best photography teacher.
I've always been into photography just for the sake of aesthetics, but Tucker gives it a whole new meaning. He makes me think of what reason do I have to take photos, what do I want to capture, what stories I want to tell, and what emotions I want to share with the world?. He really makes me wonder how can I get something more meaningful out of those shots I'm taking with my phone and my camera.
Thank you :)
As a Hongkonger, the part on Fan Ho makes me feel right at home. His style really influences many of us who love taking photos on the street. Your work have really helped me to think about photography from a different perspective. Thanks!
Couldnt agree more with Thomas Heaton's comments tonight on his channel when he mentioned your channel. Love the images and philosophy that goes into your production
Living in USA, I enjoyed my city seen through your lens, tho it made me a little homesick ehehhe.
And above all, I loved the noise of police and ambulance all over the place. THAT is also Rome 😂 you are such a great human being!
I was so waiting for this video... and the wait was worth it! Insightful and full of substance as always.
Really enjoyed your thoughts on this, Sean! Also, those photos from Fan Ho were SO good!
A very inspiring vision!
This is what inspiration really mean
Mr. Tucker, the photographer with a soul!!! Besides learning so much about the craft, your videos are like food for the mind and heart. Sometime i just like listening to your philosophy on life. Thank you for sharing!
I have watched many videos on YT. But I feel like your channel is very unique. Every video I watch makes me feel like I am watching something new, learning something new. Thank you very much for your excellent work and time.
I really like your philosophy on street photography. I'm just starting out and trying to find my own style, and it's great to hear different perspectives on what people think "street photography" means
Sean, I just recently discovered your channel and have been soaking it all in. I want to thank you for all of the work that you've put in to your craft and for how generously you share your knowledge and perspective. You've given the community a unique and wonderful gift. Keep up the great work.
You know Sean. I’ve watched tons of your videos. And even this one a year later inspires me to keep trying. To keep on the journey. And your photos give me the target to shoot for. As always, thank you 💯
I am watching your video after 2 years. I enjoyed every second of it. I live in Rome and seeing it through someone else eye, makes me love the city more. I hope you pay Rome another visit and I will get a chance to meet you.
Great video. I've been a street photographer since 1976. It's always good to listen and learn from other photographers.
From Montréal, Canada. Thank you Sean, this video allowed me to target my photography style. As an urban civil engineer, i like to visit urban cities and to take pictures of urban spaces, and architectural buildings in the public spaces. I was used to avoid having peoples in my frames. I am not comfortable to take street portraits, and do not like this type of photography at all. In my work days, i like to take pictures and incorporate peoples to demonstrate the use of the public spaces (Functionality wise). Your style is guiding me toward "street photography for urban spaces using light contrast and peoples", in a more artistic and human way. Keep posting vidéo with such clear explanations.
I really love those in between scenery film of Rome. It makes me go 'wow' all the time. I haven't got the opportunity to go out of my country or like just to ride in a airplane so seeing video of the street of another country other than my country makes me go wow.
Especially your cinematography is really superb. The content really really good
i love how i can jump into your old videos and always pick up on something i missed the first time around. thank you for doing what you do on youtube and your perspective on photography.
Good shout with Fan Ho. His photography books are amazing. Definitely my favorite photographer.
Really enjoy your honesty about your photography. So refreshing to hear.
I love shooting street and I love people right in there but here in Austria it’s forbidden to shoot recognizable people without their permission so I’ve really been struggling with alternatives. You’ve just provided me with the answer, again. Seriously, your advice on just about every issue I’ve tussled with has been spot on. This is my ‚winter‘ but thanks to you I have the feeling ‚spring‘ will come around a whole lot sooner than if I had gone it alone. You have my heartfelt thanks 🙏🏼
This is the best video on street photography out there. Thank you.
You talk in this video about identifying a “hero” to help inspire you. You are quickly becoming my “hero”. Practical advice which blends well with my style. Thank you.
Thank you soooo much for your videos! You influented me so much with your philosophy and ideas. Now I love to street shot and even publish them sometimes. Walking around, finding cool places and cool lighting is so calming and fun. I cannot thank you enough.
Brilliant video Sean, great content, great advice, full of knowledge, experience and passion and love for what you are doing
Thanks man, for sharing this with us
I know that saying "amazing" at this point might sound naive, but seriously: the photos, the cut, the music, advices, the zen of this video...wow! Had tears of joy and enlightenment at the end! Wow! Definitely one of my favourite videos on UA-cam. McKinnon is not even close. I'll just say Wow again and Thank You!
I am 200% sure that you are by far my favourite content producer on UA-cam. Please keep up the great work! and thank you!
I enjoy how, when you discuss a topic, I never feel like I leave empty handed.
I just watched this video again, and remembered that it encouraged me to get my streetphotography better (witch i mostly do with my phone jaja), so the only thing that i want to say is thank you Sean, you've become one of my heroes in this art.
Sean, thanks for all your valuable content. We really appreciate what you do and you inspire us all to create more amazing street photography ourselves.
Thank you for sharing Sean. I always feel added inspiration after watching your videos. I appreciate what you’re doing. Always looking forward to your next one!
Your videos are very unique, really stand out. Thanks, Sean.
Brilliant as always. Glad I’m not the only one who’s taking/ taken a long time to find their style!
Every time I need a little inspiration and push to get out there and out from behind my desk....there's Sean. Thanks brother.
I love your work sir... Literally I get goosebumps all over my body just by the way you represent everything and the best part of your videos are the picture at the end those inspire me to take photos.👐
Great video Sean. Really nice to get this kind of insight into someones thinking and experience.
Sean, thank you for making this video. So reassuring and inspiring. Your content on UA-cam is vastly superior to most, due to your unwavering honesty and integrity, and intelligent and clear approach to many aspects of photography that people often grapple with. I intend to thoroughly explore your channel here and I follow your Instagram too. So much to learn, so much to do. You're a guide and a treasure. Please don't stop, ever! All the best from an ambitious, struggling, learning photographer in London.
Thanks, that’s very kind.
Thank you so much for your professionalism and attitude, Sean! Those two motivate me so much and they become an inspiration for me to get out and start building my own world of photography around what I see every day. Simply thank you for doing what you do and being who you are.
Incredible video! I am so inspired each and every time. Always looking forward to your content.
Awesome advice as always Man!
Also, very crisp video footage 😍
And lovely images.
The B roll here is utterly amazing. Thank you so much for this video. It's a beautiful video with a nice feel.
Great video Sean! Love them! I identify myself a lot! Also color blind, introvert and hate those awful situations shooting people on street!
Absolutely fantastic. Love hearing you speak about this, so well put and very inspiring. Thank you for your simple but profound guidance!
Sean I really like your take on privacy and respect, a two edged sword that does not need to hurt anyone! Thanks man
Thank you very much for the very insightful ethics of the street photography! Very helpful. Ant the colours of the vlog itself are beautiful, as usual :)
Brilliant work as always Sean. Love the balance between insight and imagery. I always get a great take away from each video.
I have been watching a lot of photography videos, about gear, about philosophy of it, styles and so. I have been learning a lot, but every time I watch one of your videos, I feel ENLIGHTENED :D It's like you are not distributing knowledge only, but a FEELING, a honest burst of experience that is so easy and enjoyable to absorb. Thank you, mate. It's really inspiring.
Thank You for being so generous with your vulnerability-FANTASTIC & encouraging video...
Great video again, Sean. With wonderful images at the end.
Omg! So much to take in. Sean you are a STAR!!! Had to rewatch this, as other, episodes trice to make sure I didn’t miss a word/visual. You are seriously talented & to say the least, inspirational. Big heartfelt thank you on so many levels.
Loved the video Sean, very uplifting. Rome is such a marvellous place, great for any type of photography.
Keep up the good work, your views and tips are so well placed.
Cheers Ian.
Loving the headphone hack! For a shy and introverted photographer, it's just perfect!!! BRILLIANT
love your images but also very much appreciate the honesty in your video work 👍
Really excellent video, Tucker. Thank you for being so honest and forthcoming about the nature of your craft.
Hey Sean, i LOVE your videos with the philosophical slant (so important to everything we do in life), the wonderful quotes & useful, practical knowledge about this wonderful craft & Art! Thank you!!
Really nice video Sean! Beautiful shots of Rome
Sean love this vid bringing people back to basics where others are too technical. Out with my X100 this week n loving it
Love your work Sean - thank you for the extra inspiration my friend! Great video!
Sean, one of the most thoughtful, insightful people on UA-cam.
Great video I think your attitude towards street photography is spot on. Your images are exactly what I like to see in street photography I like the open minded aspect of street photography it's what makes it so interesting.
The first quote in your video, from Elliot Erwitt, is impacting and true. And not only for photography, but for life. Your videos are excellent. Your messages and advices great. Thank you.
Street is easy take the shot, smile and if needed play stupid. It hurts me more not to capture the moment than to have a conflict about it. I really like your work especially the colors in this video.
That trick with the phonecamera and the headset... I didnt know that one, it's brilliant!!
Every video you upload it literally feels like a movie.
"... and take that journey one click at the time" loved it..
Another gorgeous video sean... b-roll is quite beautiful. Thanks for your work and your permission to keep exploring, S
This video was absolutely beautiful. The way you speak, what you were saying and the atmosphere. I can confirm that a modern phone is enough for you to start doing photography. Cheers
Love the background music, the visuals, the oratory, the advice. Everything is pretty A. You're gonna blow up if you keep working on your channel :)
Eloquently explained, some people gabble on too much waving their hands about etc... but you were a pleasure to watch and listen to.
The natural light in the intro of this video is simply beautiful!
One of the best videos about photography I´ve ever seen. Great job Sean, keep it going.
Fabulous thoughts Sean. Enjoyed your perspectives on street photography. I own a few film rangefinder cameras that I use for my street photography. Patience is indeed a virtue when it comes to capturing the right image. Thank you for sharing.
Being an introvert with social anxiety, my street work is still centered around people. Never would I ever approach them and as to take a picture, so I don't take 'street portraits'. It's always about the relationship between the people, the environment, and the situation - that's the purpose of my street photography. This can take many forms - sometimes it's an architecture scene with someone walking through and just making up a tiny portion of the image, sometimes they fill half the frame. Out of the necessity to stay unnoticed, most of my shots are taken from behind or from quite far away. Both variants, in a way, get rid of the individual person and just paint a character. I like to see that as a way to portray the partial anonymity of the big city. It's not THIS person standing at the corner smoking, it's A person. Their whole character is made up of clothing, items, and behavior. Therefore, these three aspects have to be special, because I don't want people without any character.
Honestly, I have never had anyone come up to me and ask me to delete a picture because I definitely have my methods of blending in with the crowd or pretending to photograph something else, even though I'm using a terribly inconspicuous full frame DSLR. That kind of behavior also has a different motivation - I live in Germany, and we have some of the most strict laws concerning pictures of strangers. Even just pressing the shutter of my camera is a violation of personal rights when the person is (one of the) main subject(s) of the image. Since for me, staged isn't street anymore, my photos will be illegal as soon as there's any way of identifying the person. I guess everyone can decide for themselves of that will hold them back.
I have so much respect for you. Im in love with your work and yours thoughts!
Man, I love all your videos. Thanks for making them!
Absolutely brilliant,,, For someone who has been interested in doing more 'street' photography, this vid has told / shown me so much,, a HUGE thank you Sean,,
Whenever I watch your video I always learn something , be it related to photography or how good a person you are ...
And your photos on Instagram are my true inspiration , to make me get up and start clicking photos even with my phone camera cause as you have always said that having the best gear doesn’t make someone a good photographer .
Will look forward to meeting you on one of yours photo meet in future ,if possible .
Thank you.
+Shekhar Sonthalia thanks mate:)
You are such a breath of fresh air Sean. There's no ego and bullshit with your attitude and personality. In the past when i first started to do street photography i hated it. I struggled to find meaning as to why i was shooting random people. Only lately after seeing your Instagram account that chasing the light is a purpose and the people are secondary to the composition. I now enjoy street shooting alot more and love capturing the light. Cool video as always
Sean, I've watched quite a few UA-cam channel's about photography and I have to say, your's is most defiantly one of the best ......excellent work.
Hey, I am a portrait photographer living in Brazil and I enjoy taking pictures of people on the streets.
I approach people, in a couple seconds I explain what's I'm doing with a camera in my hands, give them my contact card (so that they see some level of professionalism) and then I ask them to take pictures.
People generally get positively surprised with that and accept my invitation. I never got problems doing that.
Great. London can be a tough city, but i think i need to push myself to give it a go again.
Hi Sean, i was lucky to find your channel to get to know you from your conversations. I'm very excited by the way your talking and trying to convey the Idea of making photographs. I'll be very happy if i can meet you one day in London.
Looking forward to hear and see more from you. cheer from Germany
Beautiful perspective and beautiful video ! Thank you for sharing , and street photography can be anything you decide it is, its all about your perspective and how you see it.
Man, i like a lot the way you express your ideas. This video was very entertaining to watch. And the last photos of Rome in your Instagram are really good. Keep doing this work. Much appreciated .
Sean Tucker: Be kind, be grateful when taking a street portrait.
Bruce Gilden: What?
IMHO, where H stands for humble (!), Mr Gilden was one of life's absolutely bonkers lovable loons, but I would never employ his tactics of...well....'photo- mugging' would be my term for it! A camera rudely thrust in your face and a flash hideously discharged in your eyes, taking no account of either your rights or your feelings. People are going through terrible things silently, every day, and I feel 'photo-mugging' is beyond insensitive. But then, it was NYC and quite some time ago. Definitely NOT a 21st century tactic, at least in London!
Hi sean, i really love the way you talk about different photography topics. I understand that the gear is not as important as the person behind it. I have made billboard shots with my 18 pixel canon 600D and nobody believes that my work comes out from this 2010 model :) . I started not to complain about grains and noise coz by time i learnt to play around with the bad quality images in post. Actually sometimes the noise gives a very nice vintage / analogue / grunge effect. And i have been chosen by a gallery to sell my prints there. I believe that doing great work with a very low budget gear makes you a beast behind the high-end ones and you need to understand the gear you hold in your hand very well before thinking about the next upgrade. Again i love your talks about the concept coz millions of videos being posted everyday about technical stuff i got bored of.
Thank you and sorry for my bad english :D
Great Video Sean Tucker! You said true words we all can take on our way. You really inspire with your honesty while your shooting around with your camera. Well done!
I love coming across your channel. Always deep philosophy in each videos. Keep inspiring bro !
