I shoot fashion/beauty for a living, but my personal projects are mostly street portraits. Two tips: don’t use an ‘intimidating’ camera. Smaller cameras are less confrontational and cameras like a Fuji X-Pro or Leica M can even spark a conversation. My other tip: carry a stack of business cards with your email or instagram. Invite people to decide later on whether they’d like a copy of the photo(s) by leaving your contact details, instead of you asking theirs.
I very much enjoy your relaxed, welcoming and philosophical attitude towards talking about photography.
Thank you very much my friend! Much appreciated!
I love the last excercise about collecting "no". I have recently found your channel and I think it's gold. Thanks for uploading this type of content.
The more I look into what you are doing, genuinely, the more I think Rawsociety is terribly underrated.
Thanks Manuel! slowly but a good :)
I say in Spanish, "el canal de fotografía que más me gusta". Thanks for your input and your experience.
Muchas gracias David! Nos alegra de que ayude un poco al menos :)
This is the first video I have watched from "The Raw Society", what a wonderful calm and engaging tone you have. Street photography holds many fears for me but I am determined to progress. Now back to your videos...Thank you.
Thank you for this interesting and inspiring presentation.
Hey Roger, thanks for the comment. Also, did you happen to received our email about membership? If not please let us know (it may have gone to spam)
@@The_Raw_Society yes thanks, received.
After a couple years I've gotten a little bored with street photography and started what I like call surfing street photography. I park and walk down miles of our Florida coastline looking for interesting subjects completely different than what you find on the streets.
That's great! Probably eventually you will have a very cool body of work where maybe you can mix things up that can be very interesting! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for uploading a great video! I haven't tried yet to take portraits in the street, but I exactly can say that my photography works have been developed since I started to "ask" a stranger to take a picture in the street. Love your thoughts and advice always! Stay safe!
Glad it was helpful my friend! thanks for watching!
Grande Sergio Mayer! Great tips brother, I will put them into practice shortly!

Thank you for watching my friend Glad it was helpful! :)
portrait work adds depth to a concept, they show a different side to a place, and the people will have their own unique story that can be seen in the eyes or their look overall.
Agree 100% James! Thanks for watching! :)

Is it within the boundaries of the law to share a photograph of a stranger, particularly without obtaining their consent? - for example just a snapshot of a random person in the street. Thank you.
Jorge, what do you think of using a drone shot for the establishing shot?
That's a great question Terence, I would say that sometimes is great, when there is something truly special about the ground but if it's not the case it also can look a little bit gimmicky, so it depends. Also there are some places where one can not fly a drone so I would say that in general its better not to depend on it, make sense?
If I take a portrait of a stranger and I want to use it for an exhibition or photobook, do I need a model release?
Depends on the country but in general, the quick answer would be you don't, for two reasons: on one hand a portrait carries consent because usually you start the portrait by asking for it so it's already a collaboration with the agreement of the subject and in the other hand ( again depends in the country) usually if the publications is not comercial, meaning you are not selling it to a brand or something like that it falls into the category of either journalistic or artistic publication, specially if the portrait was made in a public space.
If you are not making fun of anyone, generally speaking I would not worry to much but it never hurts to do a quick search about the law in where you are.
It looks like the guy posing with a gun needs some drill on weapon handling...
