You know something? This is just about the absolute best photography video I have ever seen I mean it Clear Straight forward tips all of which are excellent If more people took this advice we'd be seeing a lot more real photography and photographers Very well done and please make sure you stick with these principles Congratulations
@@insightsamuel you are very welcome It's just that it's rare to see such deep reflection on the important aspects of photography Especially Street when we are interacting with other human beings
I came to your video expecting little…to my surprise you reminded me of what I already knew. The last tip is the most important…learn as much as possible that will add to the photograph! Thanks
As a photographer from the olden days of film and when my grandfather was using his box brownie camera in the 1920's -1930's...photography is about telling a story in an image and capturing a moment in time.
Nicely done. For me the first two happen as long as you think you are behind a camera. Once you stop that and you become the scene, you will not overshoot or overthink anymore. Third part is important too.
great job. I agree about the combined effort of the conscious and subconscious mind working together to create art. I have seen it in my own work. Where things come together in a photo that I don't even remember seeing. But yet it was a perfect combination of what I was seeking in my decisive moment.
Wow. That was deep, easy and succinct. I have an Xpro 2 as well and absolutely adore it, the process, look and experience. The ceiling is high! Subscribed - unlike your angle.
There's more to the reason to not overshoot. The shutter's Life may be shortened much faster by overusing it all the time. It's nice for sports of all kinds, where everything moves fast like 100 m Sprints, Motorsports, Fencing and so on. Even then, it's best shoot in bursts rather than shooting continuosly. It's similar in some way to shooting a gun (in games, since in real life it can be used as supressive fire), where it's not good practice to just spray the whole field of view with lead. Two totally different aspects, but they share the same essence.
I could listen t o that video moreover I'm not really photographing anything in pituitary. I photograph what pulls m e to the subject like weather, sunsets my instinct. I love what I do making photos. James
Stop machine gunning shots. You will never learn when to pull the trigger if you do this. With digital, you can afford to take a couple more shots after your safety shot, as in once the moments are happening, take a shot which is good, then hope for the better one to follow. In regard to what we should put into our mind, I will say, to be in the frame and truly focusing on what you see while keeping in mind how a camera sees it -- it sees through a lens, and has less ability than the human eye. Simple as possible is the rule. Keep Instagram, and that rubbish Likes and such far - far away from the mind. In regard to quality, do your best, and make it your works, as it is time which tells just how great those images are -- will be. Hopefully the images will be appreciated works one, ten, or fifty decades after they are taken, and tell a story, or simply be loved for the pleasing the eye. It is all good. Henri said you shoot with the mind and the heart. Be honest. Portraits are art, but never sell them as candid street photography. And over time you will learn the limitations of what a camera sees, as compared to what you see, and accept those limitations. On the other hand, with digital photography what was once impossible to photograph well, is now almost magically changed. I have to rethink what is possible these days, after shooting before digital and having more limitations. Digital can make us lazy --- don't be lazy. When you think of using burst mode, have someone smack you! 🤓 Take care, and thanks for the video, Loren Schwiderski
I use old digital cameras that take a few seconds to write the data onto the memory card so it's impossible to "spray and pray". Plus I like the older CCD sensors for a more traditional look. I have always taken my time when out shooting images.
More fool you...probably you are a crap photographer...IE being more worried about the camera...the camera is just the machine U use..it's all about the image..I guess there are always flat earthers..lol

His portraits are fantastic and unposed, like his street photography and very cinematic.
Very nice Sam, thanks for sharing ❤
Not a photographer but this expanded my mind
That was a beautiful presentation. Thank you so much 😊
Glad to hear that - Thanks :)

Excellent!
Thank you for this video, puts photography into perspective for this time, when we take photos with our cellphones as well as cameras. Great video.
Thank you Lynn. I’m glad to hear that! :)
Beautiful thought process. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting! Thanks :)
great insights!
Glad to hear that, Erwin! Cheers! :)
Been to a HCB exhibition on the top floor of Centre Pompidou, c'est le cool 😀
Nice. Remember Cartier Bresson saying: "Photographer needs to have a hawk eye and a velvet hand...
Sin lugar a dudas, son los tres pilares de la fotografía de calle, muy buen resumen

I started watching this but I stopped when you suggested ‘digital’ was photography…
