Really good video Brian as I mentioned in the Streetsnappers group these I find very useful in what goes in to judging a good street image. As a side note if there is anyone reading this thinking of doing one of Brain's workshops when things return to normal all I can say is you wont regret it, the best workshop I've been on. Im planning to do a few more.
@@StreetSnappers that's the plan Brian, when this has sorted out and the money situation is back to normal I plan to be there. Hopefully do one of your masterclasses later this year.
Really enjoying your videos Brian, not only have I subscribed but I’ve “hit the bell” as they like to say, so I get a notification when you post one. Some really good submissions this month especially Brian Miot’s shot for me. If I could add one Q for the next Q&A...you spoke about vertical lines, how do you deal with a scenario where you can rotate to straighten one line but another is no longer straight?
I really don't get this travel versus street photography distinction you seem to make. Would your suggestion that the shot taken in India was more travel than street have been the same if it was taken by an Indian photographer walking from home to work? It seems such an unnecessary division which is not really constructive.
Thanks for commenting, Paul. I see street photography as a genre distinct from travel photography, usually distinguished by a ‘moment’ - that small thing which will elevate it beyond a mere record shot. Where it was shot is irrelevant: a picture taken in a street is not necessarily street photography. Whilst I see your point, street and travel photography are two different animals, although often with a little overlap. But having said that, critique is about a personal opinion; this was mine.
@@StreetSnappers i guess like Paul I am confused about this. What was not "moment" about that image. The person seems on a break while no client, even the place would have to be know for you to place it. I would think the Venice image is much more within the Travel genre- Venetian architecture, Carnival people (even off regular time)
i know i am late on this, just was referred to the channel but thank you for your comment. . Like you this is curious to me, as even listening it felt Brian was trying to make more of a story of other images to justify this one as "not street" -not curious what is he doing?, is this His shop? why is there no client? what is he looking at? which he did invent for the next image.
I must admit that I don't quite understand how you discern between street and travel. It would be cool if you could make a separate video with examples of each. Thanks!
Really enjoyed this thanks. Really missing getting out there an practising/ Sad to miss my booked workshop place in April but really looking forward to as and when I get to do it
Good review. I would however like to make a comment on the last photo by Sam Beech. Overall I like the image, and I agree with you that the black framing line at the top of the image being inclined is an asset. The one editing change that I would make would be to remove the two white articles (paper?) in the lower left, as I find them too distracting.
Thank you, Brian. Great video. I always find these kind of critiques very useful.
Thanks Gary - and thanks for submitting a great image!

Thanks very much, Graham. Hope to see you on the streets again soon!

Checkmybadself Thanks for commenting - glad you like it. Great question about lines - will definitely include that in the next Q&A :-)

Patrick Prosper Thanks for the feedback, Patrick. I’ll endeavour to make any similar distinctions clearer in future episodes.
