    Excellent Video and idea Omar, Loved the work of your guest and the way she looks at her subjects she shoots and uses her own personal photographic style to portray her work.
    It is always good to look at other photographers work, both past and present to get inspiration for yourself and your work.
    Saul Leiter, Robert Doisneau, Diane Airbus, William Kleine, and Ernst Haas are worth looking up for inspiration all with different styles in Street photography. Of course there are lots more you can look at.
    There are so many styles in street photography all telling a story in there own way. That's what makes photography fun finding your own style, in whatever type of photography you like to do.
    Love your idea and look forward to seeing more. Cheers Steve

    Great vid Omar - you mentioned consistency - have a look at Joshua Jackson's work, his use of colour (especially red) is wonderful and it's different as it's often street photography at night with an abstract quality that I absolutely love and inspires me to try out different styles. I definitely need to be more consistent in how my pix look, your vid on Monaris has prompted me to look at how I can bring that to my photography. So thank you Omar, love your vids, always fun and inspiring, be well, jayjayjjetplane (Birmingham, UK)

    Hi Omar. I have seen her work on IG. Very nice. However, you really need to interview your guest photographer and maybe let him/her talk about their work/techniques. Also, shooting them actually employing said techniques would really make this series much more interesting.....you can possibly make this into a separate youtube channel.....spinoff series, anyone??

    Omar, I love your channel, you inspire me to want to be a better photographer. I’m new to photography and this may be a stupid question, but in street photography, do you need the subjects permission to put them on your social media page?

    • @ogonzilla
      @ogonzilla  5 лет назад +1

      In the USA, you do not. However, if you plan to advertise with the photos, you'll need a model release. I believe one can sell and display street images as "art." but contact your lawyer. :)

    @AnandaGarden 5 лет назад

    Holy smokes! Omar, this is lovely work, many thanks for inspiration to start the day. I love that you include the feeling of the photographic art in your videos and not just the mental-technical side. Just an aside: I don't think a photographer could match her work by thinking "frame within a frame." That's just a tool, but the power that gives her photos life is the expansive feeling of sympathy with her subjects - they aren't objects; she's saying "we are one." Skipping lightly over that - I'm in love with the Canon 135/2 for candid people shots. (My article with real-world examples from other photographers: anandagarden.com/eye/2019/05/38-more-reasons-to-order-the-canon-135-f-2-right-now/.) Also, Monaris's work reminded me of a wonderful documentary that's available on Amazon Prime; "Nothing Changes: Art for Hank's Sake," about 88-year-old NYC artist Hank Virgona.
