Building relationships and Word of Mouth | Ep 01 | with photographer Sam Wyper
It is illegal due to privacy law. U can do it until someone in that photo fly that laws suit to ur home. U can never win the suit! That is why I always shoot the photo when face is unregcognizible. Don’t shoot in front of their face. Shoot because u want to document human lives. The regcognizible face is framed as background blending with environment not the subject of photo!
I enjoy taking out my film camera - either a 35mm, or even better medium format. People don’t seem to care about the older cameras, some even are curious and I’ve had conversations with people about analog photography.
I’m wondering what you think about news broadcasts, since they don’t ask permission to record and post people to their hometown in real time… is something unethical if its necessary and is it then immoral to not do what’s necessary?
I still don’t understand how people who have no right to privacy, love to argue it as if it was a major part of the Bill of Rights. 😂 You’re in public, it’s called public for a reason, it’s literally the opposite of privacy. It’s also weird that they have no problem with every corporation & retailer literally filming them inside of every “private business” & in many cases, saving that footage for periods of time. Somehow someone making art from the mundane is offensive & dangerous
Great video ! Indeed, in most countries you are allowed to photograph or film everything in public, but there is a difference when you want to post them online.
I have certain rules I follow with my street photography, along with the legal limits of course. 1) no photographing homeless people. I don’t feel comfortable doing it because it seems too close to exploitation. 2) no photographing children without the parent's permission. Obviously could be seen as creepy despite good intentions. Everyone who does street photography must decide for themselves what lines they won't cross and then work within those line. My advice is to think compassionately when deciding those lines. For example, compare the styles of Garry Winogrand and Bruce Gilden.
@@kyleferreira3742 I wouldn't focus on children or homeless people specifically, but if you're getting a wide shot of a city scape and people are in it, that's on them. They're being recorded by a multitude of other cameras daily anyway, so why is mine any different...
Good rules!
Love this!!! You got a new subscriber from me!!! I personally don’t ask for permission, but I also don’t show identifiable faces very often.. When I get direct eye contacts, all I do is smile back and give them a thumbs up and it just always works, which shows them your good intentions
i only pickup photography recently and it's totally different from phone photography. you need to learn a lot. about the camera, the weather, the color etc. but, it's really fun. i really like street photography or when i go for holidays or just nearby parks etc. taking photos of things is one thing but, to take a photo of someone, i realized i need a good long-range lens like recently my 50-250mm. i felt like a spy, taking photo of this lady and waited till she looks my way. lol
Where'd you go? You not posting no more? I like your nuanced take on this polarizing subject. I just came out with my take on the ethics of street regarding telephoto lens voyeuristic work vs wide angle close up work like Gilden's. I jokingly titled it "photographers are creeps!" Sad I just found you now that it seems like you're done with RUclips. Hope you're still snapping out there! Good luck and god speed!
To me it’s much creepier to use a long zoom lens because it says that you know what you’re doing isn’t right & therefore feel it necessary to hide it. I take pictures out in the open, in the plain view of everyone because I literally have nothing to hide as I’m not doing anything wrong or unethical. No one has the expectation of privacy in public & the invention of photography has never changed that fact one bit. I mean no harm to anyone & just want to make art that moves me. I don’t concern myself with other people’s opinions of my art unless I’m asking for constructive criticism to grow as an artist
Great video. Thank you. Why do you avoid photographing kids? I'm writing an article on the ethics of street and documentary photography atm.
Dont expect privacy in the public! theres security cameras everywhere from outdoors to indoors! if you dont want cameras on you go tell the stores you visit to not take a picture of you and report back to me with the findings. street photography is fine in my book!
Asking this question, is typical of our society restraining more and more every liberty. I travelled around the world and took pictures of people without asking and asking. Bruce Gilden is a good photographer and for me people criticizing Gilden are the ones who haven't the gut to do it. Very strangely in our cities, you are constantly monitored, filmed an no one says anything...
Can't speek 4 every1 everywhere in the world. But in the USA,... It's not "a law",... Photography/filming in public, from public, of public, is 1 of many inallienable Constitutionally protected Rights/activities.
Yes. I prefer street art photography. If anyone inside the frame its their fault. Im not taking photo of them but their sorrounding
yeah that's the kind of attitude that gives street photographers a bad rep. "its their fault for getting in the frame" what a load of crap.
I rarely see anything resembling art in this genre and certainly not photos that are pleasing to look at. Aggressive photography doesn't capture true life; it captures people who are reacting to aggression.
Remember to clarify you don’t see anything that resembles YOUR idea of art. There is no objective definition of art. So you don’t enjoy it, so what?
I like street photography, and I do that as well. Im just not a fan of Gilden and his works. I enjoy the moods in street photos, not the people. So even if an empty street without anyone, if the mood is strong, then I like it. Street photography is supposed to be about the streets anyway. Posed people on the street would be better categorised as human interest photography in my opinion.
It strikes me that Gilden's approach is unnecessarily rude and aggressive - deliberately setting out to shock and offend, rather than capture a cool/interesting street portrait or scene. Of course, like any narcissist this is all about him (attempting to be notorious) rather than the people he ambushes with his camera. But then I guess there has to be at least one Gilden in the world in order to show the rest of us how NOT to do street photography.
I’ve never heard Gilden state that his purpose was to shock or offend. His photography is meant to illicit a response, not in the viewer, but in the subject. His photos aren’t about the people, they’re about the anxiety that comes with being in a crowded city & his photos convey that accurately. What makes his work lack credibility to me, is that he creates that anxiety himself. That’s like winning a wildlife photography contest, using an image that was shot at the zoo. I mean sure it’s accurate to what you saw, but it’s not natural
One of the best youtube video about this theme. Maybe I feel so because I do totaly agree with you ;-) Street life photography are like a Time Capsule. They will talk about us when we're dead.
You can’t profit from a person’s image without a signed contract with them,otherwise it is legal but you have to be ethical or you may end up been punished in some way.
people find everything offensive these days
Aggressive photographers are no better than paparazzi. But like you explain, street photography is documenting life on the street. So important!
I do mostly street photography. Don't see anything that's not ethical (there was a rear window ethics as well). On the contrary, that's a real thing. A real thing as it is. Just like undisturbed quantum mechanics insight :D
youre a week photogher then. If someone holds strong to some principals, ethics or an ideology and then ws shouted and frowned at does that mean they should change there beliefs?
Same back at you. If I believe it’s a violation of my right to privacy to shove a camera in my face, and you frown, shout or… as all you cowards do, run away, does that mean I should change my belief?
그건 폭력이고 예술도 아닙니다. 기록을 남기는 것이라면 멀리서 찍으면 됩니다. 찍히는 사람의 얼굴이 정확히 보인다면 그 사람의 의견을 존중해야 합니다. 반대로 누군가가 스트릿 포토그래퍼에게 그렇게 카메라를 들이댄다고 생각해 보세요. 그리고 그 사진을 인터넷에 퍼트린다면요? 이 세상 누구도 그런 행위를 좋아할 사람은 없습니다.
i disagree 😂
@@wiandryadiwasistio2062 뭐래 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Generally speaking, a photographer has the legal right to photograph any PERSON, PLACE, OR THING if it meets two criteria: the photos are taken in public spaces and you do not exploit the image for commercial purposes. My style is not aggressive, I use a flip screen to avoid eye contact and I will comply with a persons wish to not be photographed. Also, I use a 35-150mm zoom lens to get things that would be too intrusive, like accident victims. It's the reason I have photos of firemen working to revive an arsonist who died in the fire he started. Those photos were not published by the papers because times have changed. But a dramatic, 1960's photo of a woman and child free falling from a collapsed fire escape during a tenement blaze won a newsman the Pulitzer Prize.
difference is you should ask people and then take the pitchure if they are ok with it
No human has ever been capable of acting naturally, directly after being told to, “act natural” if you can’t understand that concept, you will never understand street photography. But then again, you’re probably someone who is impressed by photos like, “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” or “Migrant Mother” two staged photos that are lying about what they’re depicting.
Today people take pictures everywhere. Special in hot vacation spots I am sure, I am on hundreds of pictures. Street is an Art form and covered by most western constitutions. Taking street in less self centered societies is not a problem at all. Only western communities have the modern over morality, and feeling of self importance. But hey, we are all going to die, may we survive on a nice shot.
great video, i wanted to ask if you always ask permission to post photos of people after you took them so they are still candid but ethical. I know it's the best way to do it, but it just seems like a lot of effort and quite honestly it would be very akward. whats your opinion?
moral's vs law's .. as human we need to follow law's but with morals
It’s all about energy that the photographer emits. Ive done couple of times where the person even blowed me a kiss in the air, while shooting, I never ask about permission, due missing the moment. Received so much smiles and never had a problem with the people on streets. Just smile…be cheerful and you will have so much fun
This has been my experience as well. I use a 28mm lens, so the whole "fly on the wall" idea doesn't really work.
Not being a creep goes a long way I think. And I just mean that as a truth, not as advice. Like, I’m not out here creepshotting people or trying to disrespect anyone, and I think that comes across. If someone asks me if I took their picture in a shitty tone (which is very rare), and I tell them that I did because the strips looked cool with the cross walk and some shadows of a railing that lined up or whatever, they believe me and aren’t as weirded out, because it’s always a plausible and true explanation. Whereas when you’re just looking for hot girls to photograph and telling them that they seem interesting, you’re being a creep and people pick up on that
Thank you very much .. This is very helpful. I appreciate it.
The info on this video is flat out incorrect. In most countries in europe and asia, you are NOT allowed to just take photos of people in public. Mate, get your facts right.
I love street photography and have never had any issues, but I also never get in someone's face. I photograph the street and people's interaction with it, but not the individual. Street celebrations and events are expected to have photographers there because it's out of the normal street environment so it's easier to be accepted as a photographer. I also don't use my "big" camera I use for wildlife. I use a smaller unassuming one.
Very well done and thought out.
Great content.
I'm a hobbyist photographer and get tons of nice close-up street photos without annoying anyone (well, except random drunks, and a 12 year old traveller kid who punched me in the back of my head because I photographed their 25 horse and carts that they parked in a city high street). Too many street photographers either 1) do really boring framed scenes full of leading lines, dark shadows, and excessive Clarity settings or 2) obnoxiously thrust their camera into faces. Regarding the latter, they keep capturing lonely/tired/sad 'resting faces' but I think it's all a bit false, as most of us have such faces and it doesn't mean we're actually lonely, tired or sad. And then they heap-on the B+W, deep contrast etc. I think it just plays into a boring stereotypical narrative about the lonely city. People love to claim that city life de-individualises us, ignoring how people aren't generally any more individual or less lonely in the countryside nor were prior to cities being built. I moved from the countryside to the city decades ago because I was bored rigid. There are so many stupid narratives around city life. People love to watch sci fi about city life ('They Live' etc) and say they're "more relevant now than ever" even though they're usually far more "of their time". Everyone's an armchair sociologist, except they're cr*p at it (at least I have a degree in sociology). When I see the above two kinds of street photography, I think it's in the same lazy space of 'this is that life is' even though they're twisting it quite hard. There are some great street photographers, though. They ones who actually witness things being done, socialising happening, surprising subjects, kind faces etc.
Taken Photos in Public is perfectly fine. Flashing in someone Face. Is an attack! That one photographer that went up to that girl and Used Flash into her eyes should of gotten smacked! One, Flash hinders peoples sight for at least an hour. Also some people it hurts! Some might even get a sezuire from the Flash. And as good as Cameras are now. You do not need to use a light or flash.
Street photography sucks, if you shove your camera in people’s face you deserve to get beat up
Bruce Gilden didn't like the last part 😂
Interesting points of view, also practical for for most. It does seem to me that in the states that that street photography is far more dangerous than it was twenty years ago. When I was photographing on the street and someone would get mad or yell at me I would stop and move on. Today I feel the of street photography is very risky because of the massive amount of guns on people.that someone gets anger and instead of yelling they shoot. So I have stepped away from street photography
If you will not threaten the city, state, and government about taking your pictures and having you on video, then why come to me about taking your pictures? Is it because you think you can bully me and shower me with your opinions? Who said I need to listen to you or even talk to you? I follow the rules and I do respect the culture. All that stuff about kids, women, and the homeless, that makes no logical sense because if that's the case, then EVERYONE has the same rights. By that dumb logic, you're saying that if I am an adult male who works and makes a good living,I have less rights than the homeless????HUH????
Thanks, an intelligent commentary.
Shots of people in public is okay , say a busy sidewalk or a crowd at a food truck, but not a close up head shot like that asshole shoving his camera into someone’s personal space. Don’t care if it’s Gary winogrand, bresson, who the fuck ever. Be respectful and if you need a headshot get consent or signed release. Most Street crap, and it is crap -repetitively boring derivative tripe - ends up on instabook eventually.
Great work brother 👏... really appreciate your work 🙏
The people who took a lot of those photos-such as from the jim crow era-probably didn't realize they were taking photos of history. I feel that's important to think about.
Super helpful!!
Inspiring and brilliantly argued
i would said it's easy to said "nothing wrong" for viewer rather than the victim, especially this people just taking picture right in front of peope face with flash, trust me this world ain't rainbow and sunshine, everyone got their own problem to handle, and out of nowhere these people take you face pic with flash and trust me all of this people said that "nothing wrong" will be piss too if that happen to them
cool photos man
