Great lesson !
Really enjoyed this and pure fluke to find. Definitely look at more of his Steve Simon's stuff
It's the most boring and useless lecture I had ever seen
This is the BEST B&H video I've ever watched
well done mate! excellent presentation thank you! thank you to B&H for the seminar! You guys ROCK!!!
who did he say is the most influential photographer sounded like Cargie something tried googling it but didnt come up with anything
Incredible video! Well worth the time to watch. Definitely worth watching often to sharpen your skills
good stuff!
Just now stumbled on this video. For me this is one of the most interesting and useful talks about street photography I've ever seen.
Good tips for better photography. I did notice he keeps saying reticulating screen it's actually an articulating screen. Reticulating is from a Latin word meaning a small net or creating a network as in the veins structure of a leaf.
Thank you! I gained so much from this.
Huge dose of information. I can't believe you have less views than channels with for example "top 10 (useless) camera tricks". Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Bill hicks is a photographer? He's alive!
Great video and the Bombay Bicycle Club name drop is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Steps 1-10 Shoot photos.
Beautiful speech

Steinberg's Supermarket, OMG, ancient history, alas.

Thanks Steve for this session, really amazing.
Love that he says "Bow-kay" and not "Bow-Kuh".
I know it's petty, but there you are…
2 words.. Thank You!!
So much knowledge in 58 mins! Amazing!
Steve, Yours is one of the best presentations on this subject I've seen. Great references, tips and you speak without the ego that so many presenters project. I'll recommend it to my students.
This was truly valuable and absolutely worth the hour
Sorry, but you may wish to correct your use of the term "reticulating screen" to "articulating screen" 46 minutes into the presentation..
What are the challenges of the privacy act? how does copyright act come into play? can you sell your street photos with out the consent of the subject?
Great video!! very inspiring and educational!
Great video

Great to see Canadian Talent!! Have you done most of your Street photography in Montreal/Ottawa? Great inspiration all the while!!
Poor fellow , he does go on………. and on and on and on
All of these long form B&H videos are incredible.
EXCELLENT!!
Very inspiring in terms of what to shoot. Very helpful. Thanks a lot
Your pics are great! Love them.
This video is informative and enjoyable to watch. It sparked lots of ideas.
Good video, so many different opinions on how to do street photography. That was so funny with the girls bending down to get in your photo.
We'll be using some of these techniques. Great pointers.. Thanks
thank you Maestro..
Awesome – we like it ☺
One of the most interesting speech I ever hear here on internet.
Never liked auto focusing (because I used to have to lock it by holding the button all the time), but back button focusing solves this perfectly. Great video, great info!
One of the greatest things that ever happened to my photography was when my professor took my zoom lens, gave me his prime lens for the weekend and told me to go reshoot what I had shot the weekend prior.
This was akin to when my high school art teacher took my pencil and eraser away and made me do life drawing with a pen.
Both limitations forced me to just focus on the work rather than constantly second guessing my frame or my mark and ultimately missing the moment. Artists naturally over analyze, it is part of the process, it is what enables us to see what others may have missed. However, over analyzing can be detrimental to the process and make you unable to just make a decision. Giving yourself limitations like a prime lens or drawing with a pen forces you to just make decisions and work through them rather than constantly second guessing yourself and ending up with a forced product.
Great video.🙂
Great video! Thanks for sharing this!
Wonderful information. I've been shooting street stuff for years and it's a great reminder.
Yeah, I also started back in the days of ASA
Just one word……. Amazing
