I don't really see as many photos from Atlanta so it's refreshing. Seeing the same photos of NYC can get boring at times. Keep killing it out there, hands down you're my favorite photographer and I always look forward to your videos.
Starsgraphy for real though haha I already have a couple planned spots to go shoot in new york lol but Atlanta all im getting is from Evan’s vlog lol
It’s easy to say that when you live in Atlanta, you have to assume it, do photography in a small village might be boring sometimes.
F. M. Challenge accepted! Haha evan ranft should go to a very small town and make bad ass photos!
Wero Visuals it could be a great video ! But it’s easy if you do it once
@@JeuneF Yeah ikr. I live in a small, rural town with very little going on. First couple days shooting here were okay, now it feels like there is nothing to shoot
@@JesusMartinezCreates not town, village! Towns are decent
I didn’t realize Atlanta’s population was so small to be honest. I thought they at least had a million people.
Your video has been a complete eye opener. I live in a very small town and more than finding it boring which was never the case.. I always took it for granted. I never made photos thinking oh! the same thing but I have been shooting in my town since last week and I suddenly realized there was so much to see and learn from. I felt like an alien myself and thats when it hit me and since then I have been trying to make photos as often as I can.. infact of anything... going with an open mind and guess what? i have been loving it!! Thanks for posting this video!
Always a rad day when I get an ER photo vlog
Jack Stolz same here 🙋🏼♂️
i love it when it rains... everything looks more beautiful..
GilbertTV yes! Bring extra socks though 😂
Iv said it before and I'll say it again - LOVE your work! I'm from Atlanta, but live in LA. I only get home 1-2 times a year, so it's great to see ATL through your lens. Keep up the great work!
Love your street photos, please more videos like this. The cop car shot was awesome!
No idea why folks say Atlanta no good for street photography, looks great to me. I live in a small town on the south coast of England and dream of big city street photography
Being in a smaller, less vibrant location it really takes more creativity, inspiration and effort to come up with something worth taking a photo of. And starting out with photography this can seem like drawback hard to overcome 🤷🏻♀️. However I totally get your point and I like you encouraging people to still hunt for interesting shots.
Thank you for making this video. Needed the push. Live an hour away from any (more interesting) city but this video got me pumped to get out an shoot either way. Ur awesome Evan!
Hjalmar Gertsson shoot landscape!?!?
@@JesusMartinezCreates Its a very flat landscape. have gotten some good images off of it but i feel like i want to get better at street photography and everything that comes with it. just a personal goal really, like Evan :D
I think there’s also familiarity if place thing; for example I think of our small rural town as boring as a wet paper bag because I just know it so well....but I bet you if you came to visit us you’d be filling memory cards all day long and get at least two videos out of it 😂
Andy Smart thats the thing though! What you might find normal others find it really weird. One example, I grew up in mexico and there is a guy who would drive his van at 4pm every single day selling tamales out of his van. To me that was normal, until I moved to the Unites States and realized theres no one selling tameles out of their car in my neighborhood hahaha that would be a great picture because people elsewhere will be like,”wth they sell tamales out of a van” 😂 I think I made my point ✌🏼
Interesting point. On Facebook I am friends with many photographers in what we might call "exotic locales," such as India. The oddness of the clothing, colors, street scenes seem totally amazing in their photos. But I'm always thinking- For someone in India, this is just normal, everyday, dull, mundane, stuff.
The best way to do boring cities is to find a good place you like as your backdrop/environment, then just sit and wait. Eventually a person will walk by, or drive by, and you'll get the shot. I mean if someone interesting comes by, they'll be interesting no matter where you would have seen them, but you'll also have the advantage having your background just the way you want it. Sometimes the people don't need to be interesting, sometimes you just need a silhouette or people to make the shot look more alive. The location you take your shot should always be the first priority.
I agree 100% i live in the small town of Bellingham, Washington and find it as my own little gem to get unique street shots no one else has, plus different from Seattle which is were i grew up and mainly shot street before moving a year ago!
I love that you have huge hometown pride. More people need to have that outlook.
Preach. I used that excuse for a long time until I got out and started shooting anyway. I've fallen in love all over again with my city and photography because I just started shooting. Another great video, man.
Dude, your style of commentating over street photos is so entertaining I really can't get enough. I only know of 1 other UA-camr that does this style that I really dig but they man barely uploads. Evan with that 🔥
Great video, really like that commenting. I like to go out at these kind of days too, keep inspirering ✌🏼 greetings from Frankfurt
Joshua Kern aye really appreciate the words and you watching! 🙏
München hier XD🙋🏾♂️
Yo Evan I was wondering when will you ever give yourself a 5star rating for your shots .... I mean that was some heat right there and you gave yourself 3.5 stars
Exactly!
Like most artists, he’s very hard on himself. It’s never good enough for us.
True true! I get some people telling me Im good yet I know there is so much to learn and know the real struggles behind the camera haha
always giving himself room to improve.
Yeah, I feel the same way. Living in a "boring" city makes you think more creatively .
💯❗️❗️❗️ I couldn’t agree with this more! When I say opportunity is everywhere people usually give me a funny look.. and that’s because many people aren’t being creative and imaginative enough while going out and creating photos.
Love this bro! You’ve talked about this before and it changed my whole idea about street photography where I lived. Appreciate the advice and motivation by dude ✊🏽
I have never much been into street photography and don't really care for big cities but I think your message in this video was a great one, regardless of the genre someone practices. Having said earlier I don't really enjoy street photography, I always find your images compelling and interesting. The other comment I'd offer is on the story telling aspect of photography. We all talk about it and try to relate it to what we shoot but your photos make the story telling concept much more obvious and easier to understand. Maybe I'll give street photography a try at some point but your videos often provide me things to think about that make me a better landscape photographer. I enjoy your channel.
Hi Evan. I love your videos and your photos. I usually get down to the ATL about twice every year. I love the city and your street photos are awesome. Thank you for sharing.
As someone that grew up in Atlanta, This message hits home to me. Love that bridge shot! Charlotte, NC (where I live) isn’t super exciting, but I definitely make the most of it.
Great video and I was saying to myself that your b-roll shot at 2.22 was a great photo and at 4.55 you took the shot! fantastic! Love your eye for images Evan. Great walk through video and your advice is as always supreme. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Evan that’s been my struggle of not wanting to go out and shoot..I think I live in a boring place and no one would like the pictures and all I’m doing in the end is hurting myself because I’m not practicing. Really good advice!
The Sinn on your wrist is so cool!
Like your thought process on the photo vlog & speaking truth on how you are the deciding factor on the work you produce, not where you live. Thanks!
Eres mi maestro en la fotografía urbana 😍 me encanta tu trabajo.
Daniela Ordaz tambien el mio 🙋🏼♂️ hasta empecé mis videos de fotografia urbana checalos si tienes tiempo te lo agradeceria 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love love love that you live and photograph Atlanta. Honestly enough of the big cities. You inspire me to photograph my city more.
Street photography is the art of capturing the human experience or condition. I live in a small town, and I absolutely despise this town and how small it is. Even with that in mind, there is something poetic about photographing someone’s story in a way that may never have been told without the photos. Whether it be the old run down factory in the middle of town, or the town newspaper on somebody’s porch, there is a story already being told, waiting for someone to capture. Maybe I’m just tryin to make myself feel less like I’m tapped here. Idk. Lol.
Evan, from subbing at under 30k to now your progression is amazing to see. Inspiring in fact. Thank you for continuing to progress. It makes .r to want to make more. Keep doing what you are doing buddy and one day you are in London is love to have a coffee and shoot.
*me
The slow white border made me really anxious for some reason.
You are so awesome, I get motivated when watching your videos.
Interesting topic and dope photos... to prove your point you should find some small old town you've never been to somewhere in Georgia and see what you can come up with!
I get ya! There’s a possibility that I may not get the shot if no one walks through the scene, but I definitely 100% won’t get the shot if I’m not there to take it.
You’re 100% spot on about this subject. Thanks for sharing Evan 👌🏼💙
The street art at the end of your video is pretty sweet.
Man. I never really thought of Atlanta as being an option for street photography. This definitely made me want to get out more often. That hotel shot, and the zig zag crosswalk shot were awesome! I really want to shoot around The Fox on a night when there's a production.
Yes to more black and white.
I live in Orlando, Fl. Gets quite boring here, the theme parks and tourist attractions such are so worn out and overdone. I believe in your philosophy 100%, this forces you to actually become more creative.
first off love the vids!!! you should make a video using beginners camera like a canon T5i to show viewers they can make great photos with an inexpensive camera. I think it would be a great vlog!
Honestly depressing how few people actually walk in Atlanta
Super content, B roll and especially your play-by-play of your shooting at night. Keep doing it!
Thanks for the amazing advice really inspired me to shoot more in the small town i live in!
Awesome video Evan!
Preach brother!
You are right, thanks
Thanks man, I needed to hear that, I've been down on myself lately and this picked me up, universal truth ✊🏻
I like your video style man! cool to tell a story in different places makes it really entertaining
Well gotta say Atlanta looks awesome when compared to our 30 000 inhabitant town :D still going to take the best out of it!
I'm back in 2018. Still Rocking!
I just want to say that I get the most photography inspiration and motivation right here, on your channel. Keep going and keep others, like me, going :)
Evan can u also keep mentioning the camera settings when u take the photos...that would be really useful. love ur vlogs, keep inspiring...
Hey man. I just found your videos a little while back and I love them. I'm also a local photographer and filmmaker in Atlanta. I've really been more of a hobbyist but I'm thinking about changing it. Your videos are definitely inspiring me to get out there and I wanted you to know that I appreciate the motivation.
I love so much about you and your content bro! You’re patriot AF which is dope and your content is informative and creative! Very easy to watch and I look forward to the new vid weekly. Cheers bro!
You gotta come through Savannah. Lot of potential here.
I live about 2 hours south of you in Columbus and there is plenty of stuff to shoot around here, great message man.
So much inspiration packed into one video!
GREAT inspiration Evan!!! Thanks for the kick in the butt -- going out today in my Boring city and see creatively -- but maybe travel a little farther south and go to downtown Dallas
(my excuse is the traffic ---- but no pain no gain!) Thanks for this video!
ATL baby !!!! I used to work at some Tattoo shops out there an awesome area kill it !!!!
Great advice!!
Great vlog. One of the best lately. Love all of the motivation!!
I get a hard "collateral" (the movie) vibe whenever I watch your videos.
Omar attalla same cant put my hand on what it is. Idk what I can do to get my vids quite like his
Pretty sure he's mentioned before that he gets a lot of inspiration from that movie with his shots.
I kind of get what you mean especially when the music and the B-Roll kick in
Hey Bro, you ever tried shooting at Marietta Square? Pretty old school feel to it, especially during sun set. I love seeing your vids, I miss ATL. I plan to visit back after being stationed in Hawaii.
Great video, and oh so true. Great photos can be taken anywhere in any town or city. Photos are like luck, in that you create your own luck.
We like to use the expression : Thinking in solutions. Where others think in problems.
"Makin lemonade out of the lemon you have" 👍 good video..
Evan! I'n in Minneapolis and no, it's not NYC or Chicago, but I make the most that it has to offer. It's great! I shoot overcast, rainy and early morning but I see you shoot at night a lot. Something I have been wondering is if you've had any issues of safety strolling around the city at night.. any interesting stories or tips?
This video was exactly what I needed. Damn. I found you by chance and definitely gotta subscribe. Loving the message, the lesson, and of course the work!
always telling me what I need to hear. ❣️
Oh man, I just love to watch your videos, always inspiring :) I recently updated my camera to one I was dreaming to get (like a week ago) but I have to work on my final project all day and night. Quite a shame because after seeing your video I am even more pumped to just grab my new camera and shoot. Thanks mate!
Excellent video as always. Keep up the work. I can't wait for the next photo vlog! Also 100% awesome advice.
Solid advice!
Your hair is awesome. Color and cut.
Nice, love the talk throughs while you're shooting.
I honestly look forward to these photo vlogs
Well said, love your perspective on this. Great video as always.
Great video !! Love the colour grading 🙏🏻
Lol I live in Nebraska it's beautiful here!!
I laughed when he said Nebraska lol
@@JezMorgead me too!!
I like to capture motion so the one with the cop car was my favourite. Great night vlog!
Some wise words you're speaking there, great photo vlog as usual! :)
Very cool! More and better street photography is my 2019 mission. Glad I stumbled on your channel. Nice vibe and now to go through some of your older content. Liked and subbed!
This is the best! Thank you for your awesome advice!
I always did wonder how you were able to be creative in the city of Atlanta when you shoot. Well, your doing something right because I'm suscribed, watching and commenting! LoL 📷😎
needed a video like this!
Arcty happy I got it out today then 🙌
My problem is I live in a place which is both boring, and dangerous to walk around in :(. So even if I went out to find compositions, which I would really like to do, it is so dangerous. I can only go to access control and entry fee parks and botanical gardens, zoos etc. which severely limits the amount of areas I can go to, and it tends to get boring repeatedly going to the same places over and over. Also, going to the zoo for example gets me a lot of weird looks because I'm taking images of a lot of things other than the animals
It would be rad if you could post the settings of each photo, but then again your channel is pretty rad already.
"Atlanta has no street photography potential" granted I'm bad at street photography, but I've gotten some good stuff from little 5 points and the beltway by Piedmont park. There is stuff out there.
Evan coming in HARD with that inspiration! 🔥 ✊🏼
Where were you at when you ended the video? Might have to go visit those painted walls in the alley there
Yo this is super applicable to me because in my latest video I was just talking about how I can’t shoot much around my area lol.
Thank you sir . great content
I agree, where you live might not as interesting as a big city. I live in small city, but three or four times a week at different times of the day I walk the same route, mainly only with my iPhone camera because I have just left work, but different images can be achieved most of the time. I do also believe the phrase “the best camera is the one you have with you”! Hence the iPhone 😄
This was dope. Yup
Dude! That's some truth!
Keep such videos coming Evan....love your videos and have learnt so much from you.....👍👍
Where I live is very hard to get good shots most the time. I need to get into town some time and shoot, I think I have a few ideas.
Love you Videos. Greeting from South Germany
Cool video very inspiring
soooooo inspiring man.
