totally appreciate the truth here. i do find a lot of photographers feel entitled to take anyone's photo. its legal in many places, but doesn't mean people can't get annoyed at you. even in totally appropriate normal non-creepy situations, if someone gets mad at having their photo taken, i think they are justified in feeling that way, and the photographer has to accept that risk of an escalation - although i don't wish that on any photographer
Thanks man. Exactly. I saw he wasn't completely down so I didn't want to share the photo properly even though it was one of my favourites from the roll. I thought it was important to share this reality of street photography.
I'm not a street photographer but I totally get it, some time ago I was taking a photo of an empty bench at a lake before a thunderstom with a dramatic light and then came a woman. I didn't want anybody in the photo, so I put my film camera down to wait and then she thought I took a picture of her. It took some time to explain what I wanted to do and I was also becoming unpatient because the light was changing and I still wanted to take the photo :-)
Haha I've had a similar thing. I was looking through my viewfinder just checking my settings and someone had a go at me, thinking I took a picture of them. I was so confused.
@@ZainRiza The "funny" part is that with digital is possible to show what's happening, but that woman did not believe I had a film camera and kept insisting that I didn't want to show the photo I took of her. I also showed her the camera with no display on the back and still did not believe.
Love your honesty Zain way to go dude! Really love these candid images, taking these candid street images are always challenging. Did I hear you right that you developed and scanned the TRI-X? Did you doing any adjustments or crops, the depth in the blacks really popped. Keep up the great work! #Londonlovesyou
Yeh I played around with the crop especially on the one with the old man crossing the road. I actually underexposed some of the first shots so I had to lift the shadows and drop the blacks to try and recover it. Amazed at how much I could salvage in post.
I use this same combination, and it’s always given excellent results (although not this lens for street photography). Film does look like it was pushed 1 stop, so no shadow details, + a bit too grainy. Your “sports bra “ was okay, helps your pecs stand out a bit lol.
sniper edition ~ when it comes to taking photos of strangers, i just ask permission to avoid that but I get it, the candid shot and doing street. I would've just told him the truth and asked if he wanted the photo. LOL.
I don't think youtube does any of these medium format photos justice, too much compression! xD And yeh, those situations pop up once in a while. I think it's good practice to just own up to it and let them know sincerely. Usually engaging in conversation with those who suspect you can alleviate a lot of the tension and majority of the times you just need to listen to them explain why they think photographing strangers without permission is wrong, then agree with them and either promise not to publish the photo or if on a digital camera, delete the photo and move on. But I've been in your shoes before, froze up and white lied about it, it didn't feel great but hey we live and we learn right?
Haha that YT compression will be the end of us all. Yeah man. I'm usually so much better in those situations. I decided to ask for portraits yesterday instead of doing them candid and it's definitely helped me restore some confidence haha
You have to look twice to see if it's a weird dude with a sports bra or a street photographer. With you, I'm not so sure if both apply. 😂 Really good shots. 4:24 is my favorite the guy has style. The guy is certainly cheating on his girlfriend and is afraid of private detective riza. 😂
Ive been in similar situations in the past I’ve told white lies and I’ve been in arguments but my intentions are always to avoid escalating the situation I agree that as long as you do it for photography it’s ok The more you get confronted the more you get used to it and eventually you’ll easily ignore paranoid people lol Great video as always 👍
hahahah omg 😆 That was a present from girlfriend's sister. It's actually an incredibly comfortable pillow. It scares the shit outta people all the time and I always forget that.
Haven’t heard of him. Just did a quick browse of his channel. Seems like that guy doesn’t give a fuuuck haha. Going to have a good watch of his videos now. Thanks for the recommendation, Peter!
@@ZainRiza That's how not to do street photography! He has no respect, you realise the more you watch. Interesting to read his comments cos it doesn't fly with half the audience. I think you did the right thing, and could've done better like you said if you had kept the camera up to your eye. Ah well.
Peter Lally yup just watched one and it made me feel extremely uneasy! His photos really aren’t very good. It’s not like Bruce Gilden who’s at least got some justification for his style.
@@ZainRiza It's funny cos he does cite Bruce Gilden as an influence and that's the style he has adopted and tries to mimic. Really not doing himself any favours or making work that is anywhere near as good as Bruce Gilden. On a different note, you should watch the Daniel Arnold interview with Eric Kim from a few years ago. It's on here. Arnold has some very insightful and wise thoughts on his street photography work and he touches on dealing with public reactions. Very interesting
Peter Lally I learnt the keep-the-camera-to-your-face from Eric Kim so yeah I’ll definitely check that out. It’s a shame David chooses to be so obnoxious since his confidence and bravery is such an advantage for street photography.
I tried man. It's all automated. Can't speak to a human being. The ONLY way is having a direct contact at FB/IG. It's fine because since I built my last account on being genuine and it was all real followers and shit, this new one is growing a lot faster than the last haha. Hopefully, you follow it too. Thanks for watching/ commenting man.

Great video. I love that you included that part and were honest about your panicky moment.
absolutely man. Appreciate it! thanks

Haha that would’ve been the sensible thing to do.
Love the mood of the photos in this video, especially the one on 4:25!
Thank you, man! Much appreciated.

hahah he doesnt want to be spotted in this side of London. Yeh that's why I always wear a jacket over my gopro sports bra now haha
Ive been in similar situations in the past

I agree that as long as you do it for photography it’s ok
The more you get confronted the more you get used to it and eventually you’ll easily ignore paranoid people lol

Hahaha why do people not get that it's just art! 🖼 Thanks for watching, Diego!
HAHAHA THAT FUCKIN PILLOW GOT ME @1:20
hahahah omg 😆 That was a present from girlfriend's sister. It's actually an incredibly comfortable pillow. It scares the shit outta people all the time and I always forget that.
Have you watched any of David Wallace's street videos?
