    Nice vid mate! In my country, Mexico, it is legal to take pictures of strangers on the streets, but posting it on social media its not, in theory you have to ask for permition. Now, If you want to monetize with somebody else face you have to pay royalties, unethical will be if you don't. "Street Photography" is a new term for an old style of photography that is "documentary photography" like you said, wich is fundamental not only for art but also to preserve the memory of the human kind. Sorry for the dramatism and the bad spelling haha In another topic, I love your color grading! can you do a video of it?? 🙏

    When I think about photography, street photography is probably the most important genre, especially when a lot of time has past. Without the work of photographers like Brassai, Robert Frank, HCB or (one of my favourites) Gundula Schulze Eldowy, photography wouldn't be the same. I'm not a big fan of Bruce Gildens work, who jumps into people faces but as long as you capture city life how it is, without forcing anything, I think it is okay...and if you are going to do it, go all the way. Shooting people from behind is the most lazy way of street photography and not worth it.

    I disagree, we always need to be able to document society and the struggles in it. We can’t keep sweeping these things under the rug or we will not learn. It may hurt some one, but how many does it help or impact to understand what he suffering of humanity or an individual during any given period of time. There’s always been an unspoken rule to always collect or take your images with as much respect as possible. But we as photographers have a job to do, use your best desecration. These issues have been coming up since for ever with war and conflict photographers. I completely disagree, the lose of the art form and the purpose it services would be much greater, than any single individual. And this idea that we have to put the individual before the collective education or suffering or any thing in society is a fallacy that’s causing the very break down in the fabric of our society.

      @@TravellerdeLux You will find a lot of street photographs from the 70/80/90 from big photographers names that have published books with uncovered faces that are recognisable. I would be highly surprised if they would make form to have concent from the subject to be published and exposed in books and/or exhibition. Being a photographer, I really understand the problem and am torned between the two... I want to document and to freeze moments that could be funny or representative of our era. Some valuable pictures couldn't be made with poses... Of course, it needs to be done with respect and no willing to make fun.

  • @rogerbrooksfilms
    @rogerbrooksfilms 13 дней назад

    I’m constantly amused by members of the public complaining about street photographers taking photos of strangers without their permission. Many of these people would be guilty of taking photos with their phones where not only would there be strangers accidentally in the picture, but they also post them on social media and tag others in the post. In these circumstances we now know who took the picture, who else is in the picture and where it was taken. When a street photographer publishes a picture, no-one knows the identity of the people in the picture. I do agree with you regarding taking pictures of people who are vulnerable.

    To save you the bother of looking this up : "New topographics was a term coined by William Jenkins in 1975 to describe a group of American photographers (such as Robert Adams and Lewis Baltz) whose pictures had a similar banal aesthetic, in that they were formal, mostly black and white prints of the urban landscape. Many of the photographers associated with new topographics were inspired by the man-made, selecting subject matter that was matter-of-fact. Parking lots, suburban housing and warehouses were all depicted with a beautiful stark austerity, almost in the way early photographers documented the natural landscape. An exhibition at the International Museum of Photography in Rochester, New York featuring these photographers also revealed the growing unease about how the natural landscape was being eroded by industrial development. The new topographics were to have a decisive influence on later photographers including those artists who became known as the Düsseldorf School of Photography." As an educated guess, this movement was a reaction to the popular photography trend for landscape photography (Ansel Adams comes to mind) which could be viewed as elitist - to capture landscape, one must have the m and to get there, as an example. So new topographics made photography more accessible, by suggesting that the industrial world that surrounds the majority of people's has an equal splendour, if one only takes time to stop and consider it.

    Hello friend, very good video, you made very good recordings with Thomas Fransson's Picture Style Portra. I also have that Picture Style on my camera, and I have some questions. First question... In Thomas Fransson's Portra package there are actually two, Portra Base and Portra EDR, which of the two did you record the video with? I think with the original Portra Base. Second question, what do you think of the Portra EDR, did you also install it on the camera or do you think it is not necessary?... I would like to read your opinion. Unfortunately there are only three Picture Style slots in Canon and we can't have all the Picture Styles we want, I would like to have both, but I can only decide on one.
