No one gives you the actual street photography tip. How do you not make people and the authorities uncomfortable while taking 100s of photos on the streets? How do you become invisible? What are the kind of legal repercussions that you must be aware about?
@@sameersinha7799 Let me try and give some tips. I started doing street photography more seriously and since I am more of a quiet photographer I have found some ways to do it with confidence. 1. Don't hang around for too long, try and take the photo and keep moving. 2. Once you have your eyes on someone you want a picture of, focus on the screen or the viewfinder rather than making eye contact with them. 3. And my last tip would be to get out there are snag photos, start taking photos as if they are yours because they are. It has helped me become way more confident because I take my photos with people in them as if I don't care what other people might think. It isn't illegal or anything so I take the pictures I want. At some point I lost the social anxiety and became open to people.
Tjaša t thanks for the kind words. i will use this feeling as a challenge to be better. But maaan I never thought those photos were even possible. They look so amazing.
@@fadysalem3539 Thanks for the kind words man. I'm shooting more now. Seeing other's photos made me realize that there's still more to learn. The only question is if I'm willing to learn it.
I think it's really refreshing to have someone say don't chase perfection and then showcase a number of photos that don't follow "the rules" but yet they're still great photos, regardless of sharpness, focus and quality. Makes me feel better about my photos.
That shot of the guy standing there on his phone is beautiful! ...also, I want to branch out into doing street photography with people, but I always feel awkward if I'm taking a shot and they see me taking a picture of them
depends on where you live as well. I spent 3 months in New York this summer and while I was there I bought a used camera and began taking photos. When I was taking photos of people on the street they were all really chill about it, some of them even stopped and posed. Meanwhile, back home, people aren t so open minded and most of them are actually bothered that you took their photo and they make you delete it. Mentality difference
@@RedroomStudios that'll honestly make me feel more awkward hiding and taking shots lol , at events it's no problem because people expect to be on camera ...I'll eventually break out of this shell (or atleast attempt to)
Mainly indoor videography and the focus and the exposure, mostly I creat online courses. And you are the best one I saw explaining Sony cameras difficult setup 😆 Thanks again.
@@ikemya Sony cameras difficult setup? been shooting with a SONY RX10 professionally for over 5 years now. I always shoot in shutter priority (for both stills and video). if you are shooting video at 30 fps you can expose anywhere up to 1/40 of a second to deal with low light if that is an issue. I set my ISO to a range of 100-1600 so the camera can adapt to any extreme changes in lighting without me having to make any additional adjustments..
#4 really speaks to me. I've been chasing technical perfection all my life (sharpness, clarity, lack of noise etc.) and yet when I look at some of the street photos I've taken and enjoy, they are not always perfect. If there is a story within the frame, the technical side of things recedes into the background. If a photo has great content, it can afford a slight imperfection - whether that's missed focus or a bit of noise. I'll be shooting street at a workshop in London this weekend and I'll be forcing myself to let go of the need for absolute sharpness. I'll be making a video with my results so I hope I can show that I've learned my lesson :) I don't have an 85mm lens for my Fuji, but I'm interested to try such a lens out in the future. I was surprised to hear Kenneth say it was his go-to lens for street. I do like the idea of a bit more separation from the subject, since I'm a bit of a shy photographer too. Currently using a 27mm Fuji lens on an XPro1, so I'll have to get in close this time round.
I must admit I got inspired by the talent of Mr.Hines, Jr., his common sense approach to photography, respecting the privacy of others, but most of all being very humble person at the same time. Truly impressive. May I ask how you decide on which particular lens you are going to shoot the scene? Thank you for sharing your passion with the world. Well done Jason, fantastic choice.
Jason Vong knocking it out the park. Thanks for reaching out to someone that specializes in street photography, so he can share his perspectives on the craft.
As someone who focused on portrait photography, This advice is amazing. Looking forward to implementing these tactics when I start street photography! Thank you!
This guy is the real deal, and you saved many people a lot of money or many hours on RUclips looking for a great tutorial like this. I know, I'm one of them. Thank you man. New subscriber here 🙂
Well this has given me a real confidence boost with my photography. A lot of what was said are things i do anyway, and I take risks with unsharp and even noisy images because the story they tell is more important. So glad I watched this!!!
I'm very, very new and green with my photography journey, have no idea where I'm going with it yet, have never done street photography, but I was soooo blown away by what Professor Hines said, especially about the use of prime lenses!!! Loved that!!!
I love the aperture tip. So many people think shallow depth of field is everything. They end up more telling (boring) stories about their equipment rather than about their subjects. Same with the sharpness thing.
Wow apart from brilliant photos & tips by far the best part of this video is the passion in your voice & the humble way you delivered it. Thank you Professor Hines.
No worries my friend. I just subbed your channel. If you ever find yourself in Scotland give me a shout. The cobbled streets and Georgian architecture makes Edinburgh one of the most stunning cities in Europe. 👍🏼

beside this Hines' amazing talent and excellent advice, thank you for interviewing a black photographer. I've noticed in all these photo videos on RUclips almost zero women or POC photographers are interviewed. and yes, there are many of them out there.
Great video. Thanks to Professor Hines being for sharing his thoughts and images. Love the honesty when talking about that great “mistake” image. Missed focus, but had the vision to see the image in post. Well done.
What a great body of work Mr Hines seems to have. My only pickle with the way this video was laid out was with the way his photographs were presented as I didn't know whether his photos he intended us to look at were the complete ones on the left or the heavily cropped ones on the right.
I love these tips; I think I might them quite useful. It's also nice to know that even professional photographers can be unimpressed with their original shots, sometimes.
I know photographers that shoot and then don't look at the photos for 6 months. This makes them more objective when evaluating the photos. I'm not one of those people, but I have found that by going back and looking at old photos, I initially rejected, I've discovered some gems.
Thanks Bud for sharing! I enjoyed the entire discussion, but knowing it was premised on you admitting up front that you don't know everything and are humble enough to let someone else spread their knowledge really spoke to me. Really nice! Good Flying!
Jason is an amazing person to know and is a reason I agreed to interview with him. I've never done this for anyone else, but his love for helping people is what I enjoy and even though things like this I don't really do I went through it regardless. Anyone who's willing to help others is a person I'm happy to know. =)
I always engage my subjects on the street. Small intro of who I am, what I want to do. If it's OK, I take the image. If not? I move on to my next subject. Having said that, I'm I portrait photographer who shoots on the street. Matter of fact several years ago I was at a homeless shelter for men. I pulled out my Mamiya RB67 the fellow I was going to shoot a couple of frames with knew all about my gear I had in my bag. He used to shoot Fashion in New York years ago. Now he was homeless and roaming. I've met some really interesting folks that I've met under bridges, homeless shelters, or just on the street. I love shooting folks on the streets.
I have never been sold on a 85mm so easily lol "I am a shy photographer" sold. This is my absolute main issue as street photographer, I avoid confrontation and I do not want to make people feel uncomfortable. I am socially awkward and have anxiety and so I avoid the most interesting part of streetphotography, people and interactions.
This man is AWESOME. I loved the tips. Last time I visited NY I kind of did what he said, camp out and wait for subjects to enter your frame. Street photography is so much fun!
🚨 COMING MAY 15, 2022! NEW Street Photography Video Part 2 is coming soon! @professorhines & I are currently filming a FULL PROCESS video: from the gear, to the shoot, down to the editing. You will get to see his entire workflow for street! Follow us on IG for updates! @professorhines @jasonvmedia!
This video was full of so much information that I had to watch it twice. Thank you so much for giving such an in-depth explaination on how and why you select people during your street photography!
Legit info here💯 In particular one of the things I'm going to try to put into practice is that sharpness isn't everything. I'm really new and have been shooting for about a year. So initially I've been trying to get as technically good as possible, but now that I've gotten more confident I want to let myself use things that might be a great moment or composition even if it's slightly out of focus or I need to crop a lot. Thank you for the great content!
Almost 3 years later stumble across this video. It was the tips that I needed to get my confidence back to take some great photos on my trip to Paris. Thank you sir!
I'm curious about this. When doing street photography is it OK to post someone else pictures without their permission? specially if some shots like on the examples shown in the video, candid shots. the discussion made by professor is indeed wonderful. very natural and full of passion.
The picture at 10.21 is wonderful. Learning photography i just wouldn't 'see' that picture if i was out and about. You have opened my mind! Thank you for your advice and awesome tutorial. Cheers!
absolutely fantastic video and great set of information. Mindblowing pictures. Thank you Professor and appreciate your humility - an attribute which is rare in this world! Thank you Jason, as always..
I just started a few days ago actually asking them to take some photos, using a 35mm (on a crop sensor) instead of using a 55-200mm at a long distance, unoticed hahahaha. I have to say: it's really nice when people go for it and say it's ok. You should try as well ;D
@@henriquerosendo7046 True but sometimes you need to take the picture before asking, because of the moment. And of course, you should tell them after the picture about it. They might even love it to death.
Wow 5 years ago I used the shoot with him at my home church in Atlanta. Lost contact with him, and now he is a BEAST! small world, but wow what talent, Congrats
Great video! Wonderful person this Kenneth Hines, Jr. A humble person with a great vision on people and atmospheres! I recognised a lot of what he said! Very inspirational!
This video was awesome and had really useful tips that I am looking forward to trying, on my next photo shoot of the city! Thank you so much for putting out such a useful, insightful, knowledge-packed Lesson!
Wish he would explain the limitations of prime lenses for street photography. they aren't perfect and it's a give and take. I shoot prime and zoom. Primes mainly in lower light situations. As a travel photographer/street photographer, my work is fast. So there usually isn't enough time to wait, move, adjust, and perfectly frame a shot. Zooms make it faster and easier to recompose a shot on the fly. 100% agree that Prime IQ is better than zoom. My 24-105 f4 can't touch my 85 1.8 in terms of image. Been following him for a minute. Love his work.
There's a long response I'd make to this, but I can't type all of that lol... I mentioned primes to not say that's the only way to capture street, as I have quite a few with the 24-70mm and my 16-35mm lenses as well. This is how I shoot, using primes for my work vs zooms but my point is for people to use what they have, but here's my reasons for prime lenses for street. =)
Great tips! And while other approaches to street photography can border on exploitation, Hines' attitude seems to be all about a fun and exciting pursuit of beauty. Thx for this video!
Kenneth Hines Jr., you are one amazing street photographer. Totally enjoyed this. And I will definitely try to use my nifty-fifty, which is a 75-mil FF equivalent (and, therefore, comes close to your recommended 85-mil FOV), more for street photography.

Don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle
Tjaša t thanks for the kind words. i will use this feeling as a challenge to be better. But maaan I never thought those photos were even possible. They look so amazing.
J M it is beautiful indeed; actually jaw dropping honestly but you can go out and replicate till you develop your own style nothing wrong with that

Same here
He is one of those photographers that treats his photos as if he is shooting on film. He takes photos with purpose.
I’m watching this as a new film photographer and i was thinking the same thing
That shot of the guy standing there on his phone is beautiful! ...also, I want to branch out into doing street photography with people, but I always feel awkward if I'm taking a shot and they see me taking a picture of them
Ken Guidry same here ):
Same.

use the streetscape or bushes to sort of hide yourself then.
@@RedroomStudios that'll honestly make me feel more awkward hiding and taking shots lol , at events it's no problem because people expect to be on camera ...I'll eventually break out of this shell (or atleast attempt to)
F1.8 vs F6.3 like WOW
Another thing, is it possible that you do a simple, easy to understand tutorial about Sony A6400/6600 videography?
Thanks Jason.
sure thing! anything specific you would like to request?
Mainly indoor videography and the focus and the exposure, mostly I creat online courses.
And you are the best one I saw explaining Sony cameras difficult setup 😆

THEY ARE AMAZING!!!
why? they look really random, nothing personal in them?
These are snaps but I guess you haven't seen proper street photography for example William Klein
I'm so down with the noise in some of his photos. Gives it a "dirty" or "city" look. Wonderful photos.
I love Kenneth’s approach and his photography. Such a talent and lovely fella.
Soooo who's gonna try some Street Photography with an 85mm now? 😉

I started using a 50mmf2 on my FujiXPro3 during the pandemic and now it's my go-to focal length for street photography. Great video.

The picture at 10.21 is wonderful. Learning photography i just wouldn't 'see' that picture if i was out and about. You have opened my mind! Thank you for your advice and awesome tutorial. Cheers!
Awe you're welcome!
No regrets running into this video... His work is AMAZING
I didn’t know Dave Chappelle is a photographer
Cruz n the World i see this is going to be a common comment on this video 😂
Yup. Beat me to it
had the same in mind :D :D
I was thinking JJ
Dave Chappelle should do a street photography skit on this guy. xD
Great tips indeed. I have watched this a couple of times, saved it to 'watch later' again. Priceless. His photos are fantastic.
absolutely fantastic video and great set of information. Mindblowing pictures.
Thank you Professor and appreciate your humility - an attribute which is rare in this world!
Thank you Jason, as always..
This is one of the best street photography video i have seen till now.
=) Jason did a great job producing this!
I'll use these tips when I go to Japan in April I'll be there for a month so it will be really exciting
Nice! I'm going this january but just for a couple of weeks. Good luck out there!
In Japan right now, gonna try these out for sure!
Jason Vong super jealous of you lol I have a whole 139 days until I’m there lol
Can’t wait to see your results
Going in April too! Have fun!
The one that sent me this photography world... Prof, thank you for the inspiration
I would be so awkward with people noticing i'm photographing them.
Then use a TLR and they won't notice you
I just started a few days ago actually asking them to take some photos, using a 35mm (on a crop sensor) instead of using a 55-200mm at a long distance, unoticed hahahaha. I have to say: it's really nice when people go for it and say it's ok. You should try as well ;D
@@henriquerosendo7046 True but sometimes you need to take the picture before asking, because of the moment. And of course, you should tell them after the picture about it. They might even love it to death.
True street photography is about candid images of people in real life. It's what makes street photography so challenging and rewarding.
Just pretend you're invisible. Literally. That's what I do. If someone looks at me weird I just pretend like they dont exist
Wow 5 years ago I used the shoot with him at my home church in Atlanta. Lost contact with him, and now he is a BEAST! small world, but wow what talent, Congrats
AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOOD. THIS GUY JUST LEVELED ME UP.
Great video! Wonderful person this Kenneth Hines, Jr. A humble person with a great vision on people and atmospheres! I recognised a lot of what he said! Very inspirational!
This video was awesome and had really useful tips that I am looking forward to trying, on my next photo shoot of the city! Thank you so much for putting out such a useful, insightful, knowledge-packed Lesson!
Thanks for the video, Jason! Kenneth is great! What a down-to-earth, highly useable set of tips. Great stuff!
He's really talented.
Thanks so much!
Wish he would explain the limitations of prime lenses for street photography. they aren't perfect and it's a give and take. I shoot prime and zoom. Primes mainly in lower light situations. As a travel photographer/street photographer, my work is fast. So there usually isn't enough time to wait, move, adjust, and perfectly frame a shot. Zooms make it faster and easier to recompose a shot on the fly. 100% agree that Prime IQ is better than zoom. My 24-105 f4 can't touch my 85 1.8 in terms of image.
Been following him for a minute. Love his work.
There's a long response I'd make to this, but I can't type all of that lol... I mentioned primes to not say that's the only way to capture street, as I have quite a few with the 24-70mm and my 16-35mm lenses as well. This is how I shoot, using primes for my work vs zooms but my point is for people to use what they have, but here's my reasons for prime lenses for street. =)
Great tips! And while other approaches to street photography can border on exploitation, Hines' attitude seems to be all about a fun and exciting pursuit of beauty. Thx for this video!
Nailed it!
Amazing tips and photos!! I have watched this over and over to let it sink in. Helps so much to learn from the pros
Great video thank you Jason V for introducing us to professor Hines. West coast meet east coast. Subbed !
maf36 😇😇😇
I love his passion towards photography and he has good experience. Also he loved sharing everything with us.. 😊
Thanks a lot sir for these helpful tips ! Love your photos btw ♥️🙏
Wow! So many great tips in a short time. Absolutely amazing.
With his 3rd point i'm convinced that his weapon of choice in CoD is definitely a sniper rifle.
Kenneth Hines Jr., you are one amazing street photographer. Totally enjoyed this. And I will definitely try to use my nifty-fifty, which is a 75-mil FF equivalent (and, therefore, comes close to your recommended 85-mil FOV), more for street photography.
Holy shit I needed this video.
