Good video . If I may add my peace of advice: You should, also, choose an appropriate place for doing this, where people come to walk or rest, and not a busy one where everybody is in a hurry and nervous. That works for me.
Ok, I don't know if I'll ever do street photography like this. I'm more the studio type. BUT a huge thanks for this video, for sharing your passion, your flame. The tips you give here are very precious. Your photos are gorgeous, but what strikes me is how competent and a decent person you seem to be. Peace.
Great video. How do you keep track of all the info you collect from the people you photograph? Do you just write their names down, with the photo numbers in a notebook or...
This was an amazing video!!! I’m ready to shoot more...this is going to help me come out of my comfort zone so much! I’m super excited..Thank you! Thank You!
Great info for making portraits of strangers in public and using your available scenery. Adorama always has such helpful tutorials and great teachers, but this isn’t what street photography is.
Firstly I'd like to say Thank you Pye, for making these videos, they are very informative and for me, personally, they are pushing me back towards getting out and shooting more regular, when the outside temp isn't -5 degree celsius here in the U.K. What i found from this video, is everything you have said, i actually did just last week whilst walking around the centre of London, albeit, I didn't show anyone my socials, but I did give them my card, and they all came back to me for their images, which they have posted, and it has gained me a few more followers 😁. I'm making do with my 16-35mm F4 lens for now, and once I can, I will purchase a 85mm F1.8 for that ideal seperation in the images. Looking forward to your next video 🐻
nice tuto and great advises. i would have liked seeing some exif and presets used. can you please give some advises for aperture for the girl with dog, group,... because i suppose you didn't use F/1.4. i see you use a R6 which is known like R5 to have a nice eye detection. we see you click on display and nothing else so you can optimize your composition and camera does the job. My new Z6II is quite weak for eye detection until next firmware updates. do you have some advises to shoot street portraits quickly with other camera than R5/R6 ? (AF-ON back button focus, AF-C single point,.aperture priority, auto iso ... ?)
Some of my best pictures were done in a similar way, yet cannot post them online because RGPD rules forbid me to do so without model’s written consent. I end up showing then in person on an iPad and it works wonders to get new volunteers.
Really interesting topic, just starting to talk to strangers about modelling for me at my studio, feel really awkward currently doing it. Gone down the business card route just to make me seem somewhat more legit as a stranger, good shout to show your insta/FB ;)
This is a great video you should make a video on how we can instruct the street models on how to pose like you had mentioned.. like different angles or different body positions shots or whatever!!
I agree, a tutorial on basic modeling tips for nervous amateur photographers to pose nervous amateur non-models would be a most helpful sequel to this video.
So inspirational, and from a top notch photographer. Love the way you incorporate objects at hand, like using a phone as reflective surface. A question, what info do you ask for them to get in touch? Asking their phone nr or email might seem intrusive to some?
may I ask what you then actually do with these pictures? I understand you send them to the people you photographed, but do you also publish them on your site? If so under what kind of license? Are you allowed to sell these pictures? When do you need a model release? and do you have one signed? In what situation?
Tips to shoot strangers in street Tip #1: take big professional slr not point and shoot camera Tip#2: take your female assistant or gf or wife with you and let her do the talk 😁

This was good homie!
What a great picture at 11:00!
ok, not only this one ;-)
PERFECT!!!
During Covid, there are not many people on the street! Good tips for the future.
That's It, I am gonna try this coming weekend 🤤🤤. Thanks for all the motivational tips 😎😎
What apperture do you use in 35mm 1.4 if you will portrait a single person?
Thank you in advance

Do they need to have a model release for the shoot?
How do you deal with the legal side of it?
Please explain
Good stuff

Nice video

I have a screenshot of all my social contacts that I have them scan.
I have the same question as others...how do you handle model releases in these situations?
Do you ask them to sign a model release?
Nice👌
what about putting that street work with people in it on social media? I mean do we need a permission from those people in written?
I see you doing many shots singlehanded. How much do you use autofocus and how often are you alone?
Good job You didn't say anything about the board poster Because I am quite sure that played a big part.
may I ask what you then actually do with these pictures? I understand you send them to the people you photographed, but do you also publish them on your site? If so under what kind of license? Are you allowed to sell these pictures? When do you need a model release? and do you have one signed? In what situation?
Doesn’t putting people up the stairs make them look down away from the light at you?
What would be the Legality of using those photo of people in your portfolio or selling them?
I'd say portfolio is fine, selling them would require a model release... Just my thoughts!
Do you have your subjects sign a model release?
Tips to shoot strangers in street
Tip #1: take big professional slr not point and shoot camera
Tip#2: take your female assistant or gf or wife with you and let her do the talk 😁
isnt his photography more of environmental portraitures rather than the more spontaneous and candid type?
1st
First?
Go light and then you put a Sigma lens on your camera. 😄
Great pieces if advice, great voice and personality!
