"Simple backgrounds." "Sometimes you might have to wait for something to happen." "Think about the composition beforehand." "Get your settings in the camara all set [...] and then just press the shutter button when the thing happens." Exactly my approach to street photography. So true!
Amazing Peter, everything anybody ever needed to know about street photography in 12 and a half minutes. Wonderful tips, fantastic photos. Subscribed, and off to watch all your other videos now. Great work, keep it up please!
Always enjoy your content Peter, and the extra bonus for me is that I was born in Helsinki and spent the first 25 years there, so there are lots of familiar scenery’s in your videos. Now taking photos for alcohol industry in Australia and landscapes and portraits as a hobby. Thank you again Peter and keep up with the good work.
Thanks Peter, beautiful example shots for each of your tips! - I do too much spray and pray - will try to keep these tips in mind and be a bit more intentional on my next outing putting these ideas into practice!
I am vey happy for having found you. What I liked the most of the video is, how modest, quiet and clear you are and how great you talk about the matter! I am starting again with photography, and would love to get sooner than later a Fujifilm for street pictures. However, I also love color landscape, architecture and wildlife photography too. For my little budget to start, I am getting an eye on the Sony DSC RX10 Mark IV which is a complete package from wide angle to 600 mm zoom, special for wildlife but capable on many other types of photography, I will test how it works for street photography too which some videos explain that it workds very well. After I get this camara, will go finnally for a Fujifilm X-T3 II or maybe the X-S20. Their color specs and those film simulations have made me very much interested in having one. I am not a videographer and will never be, but, I am willing to start the photography as it it my main passion after music creation. Your video showed me much more that never is too late to start again for a passion that never left me. I thank you so much for entertaining me and watching with such great joy, I will watch all your videos one by one in the comming days. I send you many greetings from the city of Muenster, Germany, wish you a nice there over there! Alfredo.
Some very nice scenes that you have captured, well composed. It must be so hard to record both video and stills, but it's very effective to see the stills as it happens. Thank you.
Honestly, this style just resonates with me. An approach I have had some success with outdoors (lake or frozen fields) more by luck. Love it. This makes we want to spend more time and practice!
Excellent advice and tips. Well needed when we have so many cloudy days and we lack inspiration. I discovered the love of street photography as well as rekindling my appreciation of the minimalist stile. Thank you Peter!
Wonderful images here. I do like detail shots and especially minimalist shots as a change of pace from my usual shooting. I should do more of both. You have inspired me. Many thanks for a great video.
You always give me inspiration. After this film, I took my GX85 with Loawa 7.5 f2 out for a walk. Try this one day. Go for a brisk walk, don't stop, keep moving. You know what you are doing, so simply take a photo and move on, it's most spontaneous and great fun.
HI there. I sent you a link to an Album from my Google album. I'm not a street photographer, but your work inspires me to get out there. Also, Saul Leiterfrom the 40s and 50s. The lens makes you think about what you shoot. It is most certainly not minimalist, but great fun@@ForsgardPeter
Love these ideas! I've lost some passion for photography. This kind of photography sounds like a fun challenge to pique my interest again. Not overthink it. Be more simple and medatative. And I can do this anywhere at any time. Thanks for the inspiration. I can't wait to give it a try!
Great tips, thanks for sharing. Street photography is and always has been my favorite option, as an amateur photographer. Now I realize that my favorites are also minimalist. My next exercise will be to do what I have been doing, on that area, but using an analog camera, by the way, my first reflex, a Canon A1 with a 28mm lens, with more than 40 years old.
Hi Peter, this is the first video I've come across of yours. Firstly, thank you for your thoughts, tips, and advice, an excellent video. I'm looking forward to watching more of your work. Thank you 😊
I love your thoughts and narration. You explain very well. My compliments. As a first time viewer of your channel overall I’d suggest cutting frames and montage more simplistic. I’m 2:35min in and eager to watch more but the playful and untimely rendering of the video distracts from your main point. Love the photos! With love!
What is interesting is that hardly anyone (that I have seen) ever talks about how a lot what we see now in terms of street photography has been able to bring in such a large audience of participants solely due to the advent of mirrorless cameras allowing wysiwyg shooting --- which is exactly why I don't always pick up my silent super fast action cam, and instead pick up a loud and heavy and obnoxious dSLR - a totally unsubtle Canon or Nikon relic from the past that oddly enough, still have wonderful colors and still do the trick. The difference is that you will likely need the camera up against your face to aim it. This makes your engagement/immersion different, but you also get an optical finder, which is much nicer at night than a white-noised electric thing. I imagine most people are more concerned with guaranteed results, and would be unwilling to try photography without a computer to help them though.
What ever camera works the best for each of us is the best camera for them. I prefer wysiwyg EVF and LCD. It is possible in most cameras to have the EVF simulate an optocal viewfinder. In DSLRs the LCD can also be used in so called Live View mode.
Excelent tips Peter, street photography is one of my passions with the camera but i am still working out my "style". Working two jobs I dont get a lot of time to perfect my craft,but I always have a camera with me, even if it's just my phone, just in case. Excelent advice mate.
Do not worry about the style that much. Make different set of images with different style. Keep them separete and you have always something to photograph.
I like street sniping. Sometime I set my lens [Tam 100-400] to manual with a smaller aperture and focus on a crosswalk or sidewalk or bus stop manually then just snap so there's no delay or miss in the AF .
Thank you. Not really a preset. I use a few presets and I tweek every image a bit. They are all slightly different and need slightly different editing.
Great video! I am practicing AI text-to-image generation and using "minimalist" as input sometimes. But, I had never realized the key elements of minimalist in general. Your video is a treasure of a minimalistic approach to photography and text-to-image generation. Thanks!
You have rekindled my interest in Street Photography. Thank you! 👍👍
Great to hear!
It's great to be able to watch and listen to experienced photographers. Please accept my deepest thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Peter. Learned several things here and enjoyed many of the photos!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
The girl in red is a great shot well done
Thanks.
I like street photography very much, and your video is a good lesson for me to improve my skills. Thank you for sharing.
One of the best learning in photography I had in very long time
Thanks! Great to hear!
Nothing more fun than street photography.
Highly useful information. We usually try to grab everything in to frame. This video is must watch for all new street photographers. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Peter, another angle to try out that I never gave any thought to.
Thanks Peter, beautiful example shots for each of your tips! - I do too much spray and pray - will try to keep these tips in mind and be a bit more intentional on my next outing putting these ideas into practice!

Thank you.
Dude you're amazing! Red tracksuit shot is stellar
Thanks.
I was searching for a video about brutal minimalism. I found this instead. It was enjoyable. Thanks.

Thank you. It is very hard to do both at the same time.
This is an extremely well made, straight to the point, and helpful video. Thank you Peter!

7:58 literal “Girl in Red” 😆
stunning photo 👍
Thank you.
Excellent tips! Practical and simple - as always! I've learned so much and always look forward to your videos, Peter.
Thanks. Glad you like them!
Hello Peter, I just learned of you & your awesome talent. Now, I want to do minimalistic photography. Continue to post great shots. 📸👍🙌🏼
Awesome, thank you!
Wonderful images here. I do like detail shots and especially minimalist shots as a change of pace from my usual shooting. I should do more of both. You have inspired me. Many thanks for a great video.
Thank you very much. Greta to hear that I inspired you. That is the whole point of these videos.
Thx for the inspiration and information, much appreciated
Thank you. It is my pleasure!
Interisting, less color and (or) more black, didn't think about it. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful.
I love all of these photos! Thank you for all the instruction!
You are welcome.
I love the concept of minimalism. I don't use it enough, but I will…
You always give me inspiration. After this film, I took my GX85 with Loawa 7.5 f2 out for a walk. Try this one day. Go for a brisk walk, don't stop, keep moving. You know what you are doing, so simply take a photo and move on, it's most spontaneous and great fun.
Great to hear. How did you find the Laowa 7.5mm f2 for street photographs?
HI there. I sent you a link to an Album from my Google album. I'm not a street photographer, but your work inspires me to get out there. Also, Saul Leiterfrom the 40s and 50s. The lens makes you think about what you shoot. It is most certainly not minimalist, but great fun@@ForsgardPeter
I use the native B&W JPEG (Oly, Lumix and Sigma) but also shoot raw to have the opportunity to make major corrections if needed...
Great video. I thought about this video while taking shots in my city this morning. I could have used your advice on some of my shots. 😊
Thanks! That sounds good! Did you get any keepers?
Merci beaucoup pour tes explications et tes photos!
Amicalement.
Love the shot at 0:56
Thank you.
Great video, so much useful information. Thank you 🙏
Thank you. My pleasure!

Thanks. I hope you have a good time. I am so glad that I was able to inspire you.
I’m into street photography and after watching your video… new challenge for me…. Minimalist photography 😊
Are you going to try it?
yup.... giving a try when I'm in Taiwan for holiday over the coming weeks @@ForsgardPeter
Love your work and you really have an eye for this. Really enjoyed your video. Looking forward to more.
Thank you so much!
Very interesting and informative video with much food for thought. Thanks
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Using film cameras every now and then is very useful.
I enjoy this Video. Just in the beginning of streetphotography, these are great Tips to Start.

You're welcome!
Peter - Another cracking video with great ideas on a great subject !
Many thanks!
I love your thoughts and narration. You explain very well. My compliments.
As a first time viewer of your channel overall I’d suggest cutting frames and montage more simplistic. I’m 2:35min in and eager to watch more but the playful and untimely rendering of the video distracts from your main point.
Love the photos!
With love!
Thanks! I will look into that!
Sorry, but I have only one LIKE button Peter.
I had two: One for Peter and one for you!
Very interresting video, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it.
too useful and practical tips ! thanks a lot dude.
Glad it was helpful!
perfect for me as I specialize on minimalism going to use it also on street photography

Very interesting points thank you from London UK
Really interesting video….and some great images! - I love the effect you get on your Black & White pictures, do you use a Preset? - Thanks - Peter
Thank you. Not really a preset. I use a few presets and I tweek every image a bit. They are all slightly different and need slightly different editing.
Fantastic video! The best I've seen. Thanks.
Wow, thanks!

Great inspiration. Hi from Vienna, Robert
Thanks.

😀Hi, I like your way to processing photos, just wonderring when you use black and white? When should you use colour?

I learned a lot from you. Thank you~!!
