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!
"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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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 😊
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
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!
@@ForsgardPeter Did your experience and instinct tell you what shutter speed to select or did you have to do a couple of test shots to determine the exposure time for just the right amount of motion blur?
Thanks! Really good episode on minimalistic street photography. Question. Do you ever use pre-capture or pro-capture to help capture the right image / right movement you were looking for?
Not really. It could a good feature in Street Photography. Especially when photographing street performers. The problem is that the camera is not usable when it is writing those files to the memorycard.
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.
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.
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.
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.
One of the best learning in photography I had in very long time
Thanks! Great to hear!
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!
7:58 literal “Girl in Red” 😆

Glad it was helpful!
I like street photography very much, and your video is a good lesson for me to improve my skills. Thank you for sharing.
I was searching for a video about brutal minimalism. I found this instead. It was enjoyable. Thanks.
Thanks Peter, another angle to try out that I never gave any thought to.

Interisting, less color and (or) more black, didn't think about it. Thanks

I enjoy this Video. Just in the beginning of streetphotography, these are great Tips to Start.
Great to hear!
Sir, your videos are great! I enjoy your personality a lot. You give great advice and are a good teacher. I appreciate it. Thank you.
You are very welcome! Thanks! These type of comments makes my days!
There are some cool shots there. Cool ideas. Thanks.

Thanks! I will look into that!
That metro shot is pretty badass. Well done
Thank you!
@@ForsgardPeter Did your experience and instinct tell you what shutter speed to select or did you have to do a couple of test shots to determine the exposure time for just the right amount of motion blur?
Not this time. I have done that earlier. I do have an idea of the shutter speed from my earlier tests.
@@ForsgardPeter Thanks!
Very interesting approach and well produced, new sub and registered on your email, thank you Peter!
Welcome aboard!
Great tips, small and big pointers
Thank you.
Great inspiration. Hi from Vienna, Robert
Thanks.
Thanks for a very useful video!
You're welcome!
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...
Merci beaucoup pour tes explications et tes photos!
Amicalement.

Using film cameras every now and then is very useful.
08:08 this is my favorite ! Thanks for sharing your work!
Thank you!
I love the concept of minimalism. I don't use it enough, but I will…
Gained several ideas here, thanks.
Excellent!
too useful and practical tips ! thanks a lot dude.
Glad it was helpful!
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
Fantastic video! The best I've seen. Thanks.
Wow, thanks!
An enjoyable and informative video. Thank you.👍

Nice shots.
Thanks for sharing🎉
Thank you!
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.
Thanks Peter. So much great & inspiring information. Love your work😁subscribed.
Thanks. Welcome aboard!
great video, thank you very much indeed for sharing your experiences

I had two: One for Peter and one for you!
Great Tips！ go direct to the point and easy to understand

This was a good one Pete, thanks
Excellent Video. Very helpful. I like my fuji 50mm f2 for that type of images very much. 🙂
I agree. A 50mm is perfect.
👌Exactement ce dont j'avais besoin pour approfondir mes goûts et mon style. Merci beaucoup 🙏
Very interesting points thank you from London UK
😀Hi, I like your way to processing photos, just wonderring when you use black and white? When should you use colour?
I have a video about that topic: ua-cam.com/video/QFsd9Sis8QQ/v-deo.html. I hope this one is helpful.
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!
I would not have thought that this video would be helpful in learning and making AI Images! Great!
Fantastic Peter!!!
Thank you!
Thank you for the good tips
You are welcome!
Thanks for your tipos. I follow you from Vigo (Spain).
