I came across your RUclips channel through fstoppers site. So far I like it, as it is the kind of street photography that I shoot. I also ended up buying your book lol. Keep up the good work. Regards from Malta.
Got some nice city shots here in Munich with my NIKON this February in the clear, strong early afternoon light. Dialed the MC (Monochrome) setting of the D850 to highest contrast and enhanced sharpness. Worked great. In RAW of course. So there is always the color option left.
Great explanation Rupert! I’m a fan of your high contrast works and I also try to apply the things you mention in your videos into my own photography! ☺️
Thank you for sharing, this is really wonderful. You've also got the eye of a master - In that church silhouette picture I love the juxtaposition of shape between the cross with the rectangles and implied triangles and the repetitive dark circles to the lower right (the head, the street sign, and the car tires). Spending a summer with models also looked like a good decision, we won't hold that against you haha.
Great video, again! Love this type of images like rim lighting, especially around the heads and hair and deep shadows. My favourite image was of the white hat almost floating above the crowd, the latter just about recognisable. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Rupert, great video as always. I wanted to buy your book "Fine Art Street Photography", but it seems the print quality is by no means close to Fne Art, user comments say it's really bad print quality - on the paperback issue. Sorry 2 say. Greetings Marc
Marc, if you buy the book that Rupert linked to, let me know what you think about the print quality. It looks to be a print-on-demand book, too, and it’s very similar in price to the one on Amazon.
Lovely pictures. Given the B&W, they have a minimalist feel, particularly given the use of a specific subject and negative space. Do you shoot everything in color and then convert to B&W in PP? Also, 1st B&W picture: why f/16? Cheers.
Thank you. I always shoot in colour and convert to B&W. f/16 because I wanted full sharpness and depth-of-field and this was the limit of the lens I was using.
I distrust preachers who preach the One True Way. "Bad light" is "I don't know how to use the light." I am Western Australian. I have no idea of English light at 16:00 at any time of year. At this time of year, it's getting pretty gloomy at 17:30, earlier with stormy skies. Watch the moire in your video (and fashion shoots).

Excellent photos as always, Rupert. Very instructive video. Thanks for the time you put in producing these.
Excellent lesson. Thank you!
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much - you made my day
Many thanks for another interesting and inspiring presentation. Love your high contrast minimalist style. Always a pleasure to learn from.
Wow.. Fabulous explanation. Great insights to a very complex subject. Thank you so much Sir. ❤
Thanks for the wonderful video. I am picking up b/w photography, may I know should I use spot metering in boost the contrast？ Thanks.
Hi Rupert, wonderful to hear that you are doing fashion photography! Looking forward to see some work of you on the channel :=)
Thank you, I found this very informative and interesting, it’s your first video I’ve come across, subscribed

Beautiful pictures 👌
Thanks Rupert, Another good video. I'll watch this one again, as I do with all your videos.
Michael Ernest Sweet is a master when it comes to high contrast street photography. If you don't know him, you need to.
Thanks. Inspirational, as always.

Interesting. I’ll try it
Good work.

Hi Marc, the version available here is the good quality print one... tinyurl.com/2bkmuzre
The Amazon version is print-on-demand but more affordable.

You r the best
Thanks ❤

Who is your reference photographer?
Do your images have titles?
Good question, yes they do. As a way of remembering what I'm looking for mostly. Only then I can't remember their name!
