Great tips, Eren. Esp. #6 is valuable to always keep in mind. As for lenses, I mostly take a 35mm and a 75mm (FF equiv.) and that’s it. Never a zoom lens. In my view, zoom lenses hurt your composition. Zooming with your feet makes you more delibarate about your choices.
Agree with all the points except for listening to music part. When i started out, i just captured photos of any subjects that i came across. Now i only shoot what I find interesting and place my subject in an interesting composition. Cheers
Eren = stop taking snapshots! Roman = start taking snapshots! Guys I'm confused and don't know who to trust anymore, unless I listen to Roman first then you, start...stop... That makes sense 😂 Can you both have a serious argument about that one? I'll grab the popcorn 🍿
@@erenjam oh okay. I am (24F) just very shy and I don't feel confident in taking pictures of strangers, I am afraid they might approach and argue with me. Especially when taking a picture of a small girl, that would be disaster
@@zarinskie This is very recognizable for many street photographers. Over the years I’ve picked up some tips: - overall in public space you’re perfectly fine taking photos. Esp. when you photograph a scene and not a specific person. - whenever somebody notices you taking their photo, smile and thank them. - in case they’re not comfortable with it, don’t argue but offer them to delete the image immediately. Even if it’s a great photo. - when you get into a conversation, show genuine interest and give them a compliment. Don’t exaggerate and don’t make them feel uncomfortable. - when the photo will be a portrait rather than a scene with people, you might want to ask permission upfront. Just say something like ‘I take street photos and I noticed your dress/smile/tattoos…’. - familiarize yourself with local customs. In some countries/cultures/areas taking photos of people is inappropriate esp. when you do this without asking. Then don’t. - whenever you take photos of homeless people or street artists, thank them and leave them a small tip. Always be considerate to their position. - don’t just take images of kids (who are not your own). Ask the nearby parent. This can be just by holding up your camera and look at the parent and kid. As long as you give them some time to respond. You might even offer to send them the photo afterwards. Usually (grand)parents love that. - rather than a gripped DSLR/DSLM with a 24-70/f2.8, use a smaller camera. This is far less intimidating and easier to create the connection. I love my Leica M and Q for this. When you behave like a civilized person and follow some basic guidelines, you’ll hardly get into trouble.

Do you ask permission from strangers to take a snapshot of them across the street?
Not if it is in a public space

Great tips dude 👌
Huge thanks dude!
No 1 is so true!
Thank you! 🙏🏼
do you use auto focus or zone focus in your street photography?
Depends on the situation and camera but more often then not I’m using auto
Great tips Eren but the autofocus in your video is terrible,
Thank you Enes🙏🏼, yep, made a mistake during filming this one on the focusing 😪
