      You could do a similar thing at the Airport but that might be quite similar. I think 12 in all the popular parks in Manhattan, Washington Square, Central Park etc. in summer would be very interesting. Going to the Zoo and photographing people there would be cool

    This was educational. As a native NYer I'd be highly annoyed at a pesky stranger taking random pics of me on the subway. But I guess in some cases it could be an innocent photog just trying to get some good shots.

      RATS are nocturnal and they like to roam on the track level. If you put the cheese on the track level, I guarantee that a rat would snag it. NICE VIDEO! Keep them coming.

      The situation varies with every subject and how aggressive they are with their anger, but I try to talk to as many of them as I can to explain what I'm doing, offer to share the image, and possibly talk them down if need be. Making a video on this soon. Stay tuned!

    • @aa-zq2fr

      Josh Katz do you every delete the images you took of people at their request? especially with children I know street photographers that are more careful of their privacy.

    • @ryanb6093
      @ryanb6093 5 лет назад +12

      @DJOSOPOLAR It's not as simple as that. Public places can record and photograph people because they're using it for safety purposes.
      But photographers going around and shooting people without their permission to use it for public display or self business promotion, that's where the law comes into play.
      There's photography and video release forms that must be signed that gives a photographer the right to freely use an image at the sole consent of the individual.
      Based on this video, if a person wanted to sue RUclips and the OP for taking their image and using it to put online without their permission, they can easily do that. Now if the person signed a release form and OP can present that, then OP have the law on his side.
      Photographers do not get to freely shoot random people in public. That's why some images shot of people in public have their faces hidden, the back of their heads, blurred faces, or just their body parts.

    • @aa-zq2fr
      @aa-zq2fr 5 лет назад +4

      DJOSOPOLAR interesting. i think street candids are some of the coolest photos but i also don't know how id justify that morally personally, like if you're capturing someone as art but then also dont treat them with respect of deleting it , especially if they have reasons yk?

    • @flaminggluestick
      @flaminggluestick 5 лет назад +10

      @@ryanb6093 It's completely legal for a photographer to take a photo of someone in a public space without permission. In public you legally have no expectation of privacy, at least in America.
      You are correct that for advertising or commercial display there needs to be permission or a release, no arguing that. But publishing a street photo in a photobook or making a print to hang on someone's wall isn't the same as publishing an ad in a magazine or a billboard on the side of the road.
      Under the first amendment you can publish and sell street photography (including street portraits) without permission of the subject, as it is considered free speech. The case I linked below is an example of this.

    • @user-nd2bj5nv4d
      @user-nd2bj5nv4d 5 лет назад +2

      Realize that you are, likely, never going to see any of these people again, and shoot with that mindset. It can be extremely difficult, even for people who do it all the time. Also, if you are on a mirrorless, or similar camera with this option, shooting with a silent shutter can help, as people don't know when they are being photographed, and you can be more discrete.

    • @redwarrior2342
      @redwarrior2342 5 лет назад +3

      As a beginner, I suggest always asking first and shoot in the daylight. Certain things like crowds, moving shots, and shooting at a distance, there is really no need to ask. If you can take some rejection and possibly some light yelling your confidence will build. Also, not a bad idea to go out with a friend either.

    It’s a 25 minute train ride into Penn Station Manhattan from where I live in NJ.

    I’m from Melbourne, Australia and I’m going to New York by myself at the end of the year to shoot film and paint graffiti and this video has inspired me so much!!!!
