Thanks for having me bro ❤ great meeting you and eating dinner 🥘 haha so fun! I have a street video coming out this week! Lessssgo
Lesssgo! Looking forward for the next time and watching your video, it was nice to meet you :)
i had 50mm on crop
35mm is definitely my favourite focal length; it's so versatile and can be used for nearly every situation. The main reason why I prefer it to the 85mm for street is because it captures more of the surrounding scene and for me it tells more of a story in the picture to someone who wasn't there.
true. 35mm brings along surrounding more which more story, but for portrait alone, 85mm is the king
Facts. My favourite lens is Viltros 27mm 1.2 pro for fuji, which on the 1.5x apcs crom comes out to about 40mm(sits inbetween 35mm beautiness and a nifty fifty) . Its a wonderful focal lenght.
mainstream opinion 🤭 yawb
I also feel that 85mm is just such an "easy" focal length to get nice shots on the streets. But 28mm or 24mm to me, gives the most iconic shots with a feeling like being right there in the scene, yet you need to practice a lot and get comfortable with being so close and compositions get a lot harder.
I tried shooting a recent concert at 24mm a lot to get the feeling of being right there in the scene.
I totally agree. 24mm is a difficult and disciplined focal length, but the reward of immersion really pays it back. Shooting with a 24mm and 100% viewfinder coverage made me really aware of my corners and made it a habit to "fill the frame".
Easy + lazy
I used to do it with my 85mm Sony GM but now I prefer the 35mm Sigma and sometimes even the 24 and I agree. It needs more confidence to do it with the 24 but when you've done it you get amazing results.
True. Telephoto lenses are the tool of laziness. All the street photography of the great photographers was with wide angles. Now that the battle is over who has the most technological camera, photography from a distance began to appear. Most of the time fronts of buildings and backs of people.
@@Lancoreh Saul Leiter is one of excellent samples of doing street photography with telephoto lens. Of course, he didn't do documentary/"i'm in the street" photos like HCB, Lee Friedlander, Robert Frank etc do (classically with 50mm or shorter). Leiter's photos looks abstract-y. Very painting-like.
The results from your presets are really tempting me
Love that winter light in Japan. You can be out at a perfectly reasonable time of day and the sun is still nice and low. It makes me think winter is the best time for street photography in Japan for that reason.
Except the sun goes down at 4.30 so maybe not 😁
As someone who's crutched quite hard on the 85 for street shots this was great to see the comparison. I just picked up the sigma 35 and have been struggling with composition so it was a big help seeing what can be achieved and where you position yourself in relation to a shot, allot less sniping with the wider boy. I'll have to get used to that
Beautiful capture of the lighting in different scenarios!
Glad you liked it!
Recently got a leica with a 35mm and somehow chanced upon your video (probably because im researching about Japan as well)
Love your street shots with the 35mm, it really puts you in the scene. Great composition
Thanks for making my Saturday mornings more enjoyable 😁
My pleasure! Thanks for watching :)
If you are at the street you are doing street photography. Don't tell anyone in the comments saying your work / hobby is not street photography. I loved your style. Congratulations 👏
Well said, thanks a lot for your comment :)
I don't think 85mm is particularly easy, most beginners just it wrong on the streets. Shooting street portraits and street photography is such an different thing, take a few steps back, capture more surroundings and tell more of an story rather than isolating a person and making the photo lifeless. I do still enjoy 35mm and 50mm more but it is possible to make 85mm work as a great street photography focal length.
Loving your work. Were you using an ND when shooting wide open? Or were you stopping down like you mentioned to have more context of the image? Love the video portions as well perhaps you could go over your video settings in another video.
Fun video to watch; this makes me want to try street photography. Thanks!
You should! thanks for commenting
The color grade on the photos are really nice. Do you have a tutorial on this?
Additionally , do you shoot so wide open when people aren't the main subject? I range focus, so personally stay stopped below 5.6. Thoughts on range focusing with modern digital cameras, when AF is so darn good?
Thanks for the share, the thoughts and exp, i am really considering street photography (currently macro photographer) and prbly need a need setup.. Struggling to decide between a7iv+sigma 35mm 1.4 or a6600+sigma 30mm 1.4.. Especially with the upcoming a7000 or a7cii...
Absolutely phenomenal video, and the quality of the content is superb, you deserve a subscribe my friend.
Thanks for subbing :)
Can easily make a case for shooting with either focal length. I like 28mmm and 35mm, but will say that when the situation feels like it can get confrontational, I'll switch to a wide focal length. Love street shooting but definitely feel uncomfortable when someone confronts me about taking their photo.
Once again, amazing video. Intriguing view on street photography focal lengths, you are right, it’s nice too start on an 85mm. I actually shoot with an 85mm on a A6600 so I get a 127mm equivalent. I’m not in a big city or anything like where you shoot, I’m north of Toronto so big open spaces, I can get away with it. But I want a 35mm prime, next in my list for sure.
35mm apsc = 55mm fullframe
Nice for street fotografi
Belle video guys! Love what you did here inspires me a lot to moove my ass to get into this wonderful game of photography!!
Merci pour ton commentaire et content de pouvoir t'inspirer et te motiver :)
How do you balance not interrupting your surround/subject vs taking your time getting the right composition?
I am buying a z5 (full frame)this week since it is on sale for $999. For street photography and maybe some indoor photo shots such as bars, would you go for a 28mm 2.8 $279 or a 35mm 1.8 $699 as your first lens?
this made me SO excited to go to Japan and get my 85mm lens delivered!! stunning shots
Hope you will have fun :)
hey , i am new to street photography , i have an old tamron 28-75 f2.8 ( used 8 yr old lens ), what do u think of it for street photography ?
Really liked the videos and the photos you took. Can you out a link to Carlo in the video description?
I have learned many things! great job!
Glad to hear it!
I’m Japanese. And I’m so happy u r in Japan rn shooting photos!
Thanks for commenting, I am lucky to be here photographing this beautiful country :)
Must be really interesting shooting in Japan! Love your photo editing & style.
Thanks! Yes it is, especially in this kind of city like Osaka :) I hope you can come someday
Do you have any advices about how to post process pictures the was you did it, without using a software-subscribtion? Are there any alternative you can Just buy? 😁
great vid, love the comparison between 35 and 85
Thanks 👍
wonderful pictures like always!! greetings from vienna austria
Thank you! Cheers!
I'm visiting Kyoto at the end of Feb :) I'm also not a street photographer person but do enjoy your videos.
Awesome! Thank you! I hope you will have fun in Kyoto and maybe give a try to street photography there ;)
Again really great video. I used to live in that area. Now in Shizuoka. Would love to go back sometime
Thanks! This area is so much fun to shoot, hope you can come back soon ;)
May I know what is your flicker?
The still photos are good, but I am enjoying your video the most. Japan is a super place to visit!
I totally agree! Thanks for commenting
Enjoyed this video. I am an amateur and am fortunate to have a variety of primes and zooms, For the longest time, I mostly shot with the zooms. They are powerful tools for changing “terms” of a situation in pursuit of must-get images. On the other hand, when one is just shooting for the experience, using primes has expanded my understanding. It gives me a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of a given focal length, and the strategies required to adapt it to various situations. Ultimately, making me even better when I do use zooms. In particular, I have started using my 85mm f1.8 more. It gives me the ability to get images from a distance; even in fairly low light. That is useful when there is action on the street; i.e.emergency vehicles rolling or people interacting but are not close enough for a image with a 35mm to make sense; i.e. the only person who knows what you were looking at in the scene would be you. 🙂
Fantastic video! I love using my 100mm when im out as well as my 50mm. I love seeing what people like to use.
Glad you enjoy it!
beautiful job. did you used 35mm with crop sensor camera that made it 50mm? or used full frame that dosent change the lens number?
Really enjoy your content! Subbed :D
Awesome, thank you!
Beautiful place, nice shots
Thanks a lot!
really enjoyed this video
Thank you for the content 🙏🏾. I find that anything that is capturing things in a public space is "street photography". It doesn't have to be on people's faces or close up (I hate gatekeeping). And I say this as a street photographer, who shoots with a 35mm, and often close up 😅. My opinion is: shoot whatever gets you the art you desire. My art just happened to focus up close often
Nice video !
Will you try to use 50mm or 55mm autofocus prime lens to shot? 🙂
I don't own one at the moment but it might change soon. If I have one I will definitely make a video shooting with it ;)
I prefer a 35mm or 50mm when the light is bright and 85mm on cloudy days to get better separation of the subject and background when the light is flat.
Beautiful work man 🙏🏽
Thank you 🙌
I just use 80D and idk if it is any good, seeing the Sony A7IV I feel like I am so behind
35, 50, 85, 135...the final image is what matters most. But, yes, 35mm is more of a challenge. However, if you want to single out one person, you have to get quite close with a 35mm (.7-1.5m), which requires some courage.
I only have 2 lens for my APSC camera
22mm and 50mm
I love my 50mm which is about 85mm for street photography and portrait. It's my go to lens
And 22mm which is about 35mm for landscapes if needed
Very good combo indeed :)
what are you using to video the POV while you take your pictures?
I am now using the GoPro11 👌🏻
nice works and frames, nice to push outside your comfort zone.
Thank you! Cheers!
Hello ! How did you achieve film color in your photos ? like the one in 7:51
I used my presets to edit the photos. They are available on my website ;)
Lovely shots mate
Many thanks!
What automatic mode(s) were you guys set in?? .. aperture priority or any other?
I shoot 99.9% of the time in Aperture Priority
Love the comparison between the 35mm and 85mm!
Glad you liked it!
Nice video! Would be great if any plan to do some street photography in nagoya!
That would be cool! I hope to come someday, the big modern buildings in Nagoya look exciting to shoot :)
Nice! Let me know if you have any plan to go here! 🔥🔥
Nice pictures adrian, keep it up 👌🏽.
which camera you use to record the Video?
Thanks! The POV was on the GoPro 11 and the other high quality Broll were shots on the Sony A7IV
my favorite is the off center lady taking the trash out in the alley 9:09
Thanks for commenting :), very appreciated
You guys play with shadow nicely, does it really matter to shoot with jpeg or raw? thanks..
Thanks! Yes it does a lot. Once you get your Jpeg it is much harder to recover shadows and highlights when postprocessing your images. If you have a very contrasty scene you can still shape it and change it a lot if you shot RAW
Curious to know if you use auto or manual focus?
I use Auto focus ;)
When COVID came I graduated more to 85mm from 35mm. Keeping my distance. Now I am again using my 35mm for street. It great to have a choice, but I only ever take one lens on each occasion as each as discussed in this VLOG, has its own characteristics to be considered.
Nice shots💯
Thanks!
Hi thx for the video, whats your thoughts on a 65mm
Seems like a pretty interesting focal length, significantly more tight than the 50mm so I think it could look a loot like the 85mm in the end.
The Sony 35/2.8 ZA is the best autofocus street lens in the lineup, IMHO. It looks like a toy and people are absolutely not scared of it. I actually have that Sigma and find it way too big, even on my A7c.
But a manual lens is where I want to be, tbh. The Asahi Pentax 28/3.5 SMC Takumar is my personal favorite. Zone focus means relying on autofocus is a non-issue, which is preferable in the street. You can set it to F8 and hyperfocal distance, lock in shutter at 1/160, 1/250, or 1/320... Then just roll ISO to control exposure. Makes bokeh fallback impossible as a fringe bonus for those who are inescapably drawn to it.
Manual lenses are (most of them) cheap, sharp, great build quality, really good glasses and are small, i really love them
@@leixo Yeah, I'm a big fan. In the case of vintage glass, you get the bonus of kinda "art directing" the style as you stop down the aperture too. Plenty sharp at F8 in most cases, then all kinds of cool hazing and fidelity breakdown as you head towards F2.8 and below. Way more fun than the clinical results of modern high quality glass IMHO. Though I like both options.
@@SourPlanet so true!!! Each lens has it's own caracteristics, specially vintage lenses, the calculations "mistakes" gave them their unique look and feel
For this kind of thing some context would be nice: is this on FF, ASPC or MFT?
Generally when not precised, focal length are always expressed in FF terms.
Beautiful photos
Thank you! Cheers!
beautiful photos !
Many thanks!
Nice pic. Nice lut
Thanks 😁
I've done street for several years purposefully, and since the day I got my first camera incidentally, which is about 30 years... I'm old, heh. I find myself choosing the lenses for the street much like I would in any other genre I shoot. I don't use a 35mm to shoot football games, or macro lenses for dance recitals. On a busy street I'll shoot wider. On a quieter street with less people I'll reach out a bit with zoom or 85mm. If it isn't a busy street area and I'm in the mood to interact with people more, I'll slap on a 35 or 55mm and take time with people. Thanks for the video. Good stuff!
love 6:18 THIS SHOT
Thanks!
I like to go out with a 50mm and a teleconverter. You can can get close and personal while walking around with the 50 or find a spot to sit and catch your breath for a minute and throw on the teleconverter without having too many missed opportunities because something happened juust a little too far away for the 50 alone.
Those pictures have been taken by you guys are great. If important points were in subtitles, the result could be better.
Thanks for the feedback ;)
DO you use any filter ?
On my lens? No filter used in this video ;)
@@adriensanguinetti what your setting sir ?
I like the way the 85mm looks
Very special indeed, 85mm is one of my favorite lens
"I have been living in Japan for many years, and it's always challenging to take street photos, especially as a foreigner. Japanese people are often not amused by street photography and are concerned about where the photos might end up. On one occasion, an elderly lady chased me and insisted I delete her picture, even though she wasn't the main subject of the composition. I complied immediately and apologized in Japanese. So, seeing someone take pictures inside a place where people are drinking and playing shogi, especially in Osaka, surprises me. This could potentially lead to significant issues. Nevertheless, thank you for your comparison. I'm waiting for my used Ai AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.4D
I prefer to shoot streets with two prime lenses and two bodies.
I normally use a 35mm f/1.4 on one SLR body and an 85mm f/1.4 on a second SLR body.
I use a 35mm f/1.4 and a 90mm f/2 on a Leica rangefinder.
Camera???
Sony a7iv ;)
Great video! I’m new to your channel. I carry a 28mm and 75mm. For me, it’s the perfect two lens kit for walking around.
Welcome aboard! This is a combo I really like. I sometimes carry my 28mm GRiii and my sony with the 85mm, love it 😊
i just feel like watching digital street photographers kinda doesnt have the same magic as film... its so easy to just spray down photos and that need to be more judicious and all thew mystery is gone. its so much more impressive on film
What's your next country?
Plan to stay in Japan for the foreseeable future
I started out with street but im way too scared. I like models better haha. I also like the aesthetic of southeast asian cities more than nyc
It's strange to shoot streetphotography and use open diaphragm like 1.4, but it's up to everyone
Shinsekai has become more generous.
About 30 years ago, if you pointed a camera at someone, a drunken old man would yell at you and chase you.
I think I want an 85 and i'm split between a 35 and 40 for videos / photos..
You can get a 35 and slightly crop in when necessary ;)
Только в азии и осталась возможность фотографировать людей на улице. в своих странах у англосаксов истерика по поводу нарушения приватности....
I just want to remind you thatin Japan it's not okay to post people's faces on social media without their permission, nice shots btw.
😁
Very good teaching vedio. But I think there are more scene that should be take more time to wait and capture a more better pic.
Fo street. I always choose 28, 35 or 40. If i have the lens. If i dont i will choose 50
I always has 50s. I have too many 50s (MD, s.m.c, afd, m42s)
They are all great but lately I have been loving the 50mm focal length
If i have 50s. My second lens always: fast 24 and my third lens always pancake 28-40
Magnifique tes vidéos mais tu es trop sérieux mec souri un peut je suis sur que ta une magnifique sourir🙏🏿♥️
Haha merci pour ton commentaire, en effet je suis très concentré sur mes lignes et mon anglais quand je parle, je vais essayer de me détendre à l’avenir
35mm all day every day
Start to like it a lot too! :)
The fact that an 85 is considered "easier" because you don't have to get in people's faces should not be seen as a negative at all. I personally find the photographers that get right in people's faces when they shoot to be annoying. One should be a fly on the wall, not a bull in a China shop.
I too have difficulty using 24 or 28mm focal length. There are two reasons. These focal lengths force me to get closer to my subjects. This makes me uncomfortable. These are good focal lengths for shooting in parades or a demonstration. The second difficulty is I focus on my subjects too much and loose track of my edges.
Never used a long lens for street. Saul Leiter used to do this. Seems a little creep to me. I am firmly in the 35 or 50mm camps.
Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
I use a 800mm telephoto prime for street-photography
@@PSYCHIC_PSYCHO Are you kidding? That thing must weigh a ton. When I go out to shoot I’m out for hours. To each their own. I don’t have any long lenses anywhere as long.
Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
@@martingreenberg870 Yes I was joking. On another channel I joked that I bought a large format digital camera with a 300MP A4 sized sensor, and that I only use it for 40mm x30mm I.D card photos 😂
I use both focal lengths. I think the “getting closer” problem is more related to the photographer experience level. I use 85mm to get what I call impossible shots, e.g. a woman carrying their children and crossing a dangerous avenue, two guys arguing in the middle of a busy road, etc. There are too plenty of boring “get closer” scenes, you know, the typical people in your face snapshot that every street photographer need to do (to prove something to themselves). I agree with other comments here about street photography cliches happening over and over. I think the best way (talking by years of experience) is to shot the focal length that delivers your idea. At the end the most important thing is how well trained is your vision, you know, visual culture, art education, color theory, your visual narrative in general.
this is a false problem, Alain, 83 years old
Thank you for engaging
Nice, avoid the sound with that single loud beat, its annoying, try a softer elevator sound, that is lower than your own voice, could not stand listening for more than two minutes
Thanks for the suggestion, I will reconsider my music choice in upcoming videos;)
Wouldn’t call these photos as “street” photography (yet) but rather call it as a photojournalism of lifestyle.
Interesting definition, anyway there is as many interpretation of what street photography is as there is human I feel ^^'
Sorry,I'm not offend but in Japan you can got police catch by take photo people without permission. So 35mm is not good choice.
Good to know. I. always take pictures in a way to not offend people and it has been working well so far ;)
An interesting video, but please stop talking about a 'wider' focal length. It's either a shorter, or longer focal length, or a lens with a wider/narrower angle of view.
Just being in the street and clicking doesn't make either of you a street photographer!
Why is it I find street photography boring these days? It's so hard to find excellent street Photography these days, Just snapping what's in front of you in a fraction of a second is meaningless if there is no association or creative thought! Is not even artistic. What's it all about? No theme - no story - nothing! I suggest you have a good think about what you are trying to say in using people and buildings in front of you! And what are the ethical implications of photographing people and capturing them in embarrassing and unflattering photos? You guys may shoot 500 photos in a morning and expect to find 5 good images you like! With some luck! That's not real street photography or art! But you are trying hard, getting out and good photos are taken because you are out there snapping them. So keep practising your hobby.
I no longer called this type of photography as street photography, i prefer call it snapshot photography. But hey, now we live in digital era, if Famous street photographer still alive or active today i think some of them will do content like this. I think i remember a legend photographer said in interview he could take hundreds of rolls in a week, and only pick 5-10 photo for exhibition or book. Basically all photographer do the same thing, whats different is now the medium is become more diverse.
Don’t really know how to take this one but thanks for engaging and the last lines sound positive to me
I understand how you feel, but that's almost the exact reason I embrace the challenge of street. I do the kind of "snapshot" photography for organizational promo occasionally. So my mind has to shift impetus from just getting clear, appropriate shots for organizations, to hitting the streets and creating something that I feel is artistic, authentic, revealing, telling... On the street, it becomes my story. The more often I do it and the more varied my personal approach, the more I learn to look at all of my photography with a more understanding, critical eye.
Twinkling Star: Yeah street photography is so lame right. It’s way easier than creating a fake situation with a model that you can control their actions, emotions, wardrobe, environment and take all the time you need to get your settings exactly the way you want them. Lmao. And by the way…A lot of street photographers shoot film so your 500 shots for 5 keepers argument is not really valid either. I’ll never understand why some of you get snarky if people don’t do what you like personally. Isn’t diversity in art what it is all about? Anyways. I hope you take this comment constructively. I don’t shoot weddings, but I still appreciate a good wedding photo when I see it.
On the plus side, no one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to look at photographs you don’t like. Feel free to spend your time elsewhere.
