This guy is like the combination of all my favourite photographers. I love his work.♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thanks for being honest in this
This video is one of my favorites, cuz it's the one with the most mistakes in it. And she made me think a lot about mindset, focus and CONSCIENCE.
That moment when you said 'i'm looking for something weird', it just resonated in me.
Hey Evan, why don't you make little segments or make separate videos commenting on a few photos from your fans. Or why don't you make something like peter but for street photos and set up a challenge from time to time and we can use one of your hashtags or send it by email.
Really enjoyed this video. First one I have seen of yours so hit subscribe. That dinner shot is amazing and such a cool look of colours.
I'm not a 'street' photographer, however, I have done a lot of personal shooting in NYC, with which I have a love~hate relationship.
On the one hand, I think it is by far the most visually interesting major city in the U.S. On the other hand, it can be extremely difficult to impossible to: A) Get certain angles, because of non-stop traffic (where you're dodging moving vehicles, bicycles, skateboarders, regular pedestrians, and runners, all at the same time). B) If you don't want people and/or parked vehicles in shots of some locations C) NYC is so visually stimulating that, ideally you're best to have a shot list and stick to a plan (especially if you're visiting from far away and/or only have several days), because it is very easy to stake out a location and end up waiting for an hour or 3 for 'something interesting to happen'……………….which ends up NOT happening, and you've wasted time that could have been spent more productively elsewhere. D) If you're shooting larger formats it can be nerve wracking trying to set up a tripod and worrying someone will trip over it and/or damage your equipment……….not to mention, a lot of indoor spaces won't even allow you to set up a tripod.
Perfect examples are that LED American flag in Times Square and that Brooklyn USA diner, it's very difficult to shoot those, if your aim is a clean shot with no vehicles.
Living in or near NYC can easily spoil you for shooting pretty much anywhere else in the U.S., because you can get so much bang for your photographic buck, in an hour or so on the street, due to so many things/neighborhood being so close together.
7:15 Steezy Kane in Times Square😄
Hey, Evan…can you please tell me what settings do you use for ad hoc street photography?
Last two prints fire 🔥
Thumbs up from me 👍
I like the shot on 04:31 👌🏼👌🏼
Excellent vid! So many great shots.
Good video for those who would love to dabble in street photography but are afraid of taking mostly bad shots
Thanks for the POV video. This is one of the better ones on YouTube. Not many togs explain the reasoning behind the shots, but you my friend have cracked it. Well done and keep ‘em coming. 👍👍👍
I still can't believe how fast you are sometimes, capturing an images. 😄
But I know that feeling of being to surrounded by impressions that you just snap the photo you like and later being frustrated because you somehow made a mistake. Even after years of experience it happens sometimes. 😅
If you happen to be in Australia at some point, Melbourne is phenomenal for night street photography!
You definitely need to visit San Diego!
I don't understand that weird dash when trying to pan…🤔 you're supposed to follow the subject at it's traveling speed. The shutter will do the rest.
Hey Evan. Come shoot Downtown Los Angeles with me! ( or by yourself ) Would love to see your take on some LA favorites and new views!
Another spot on video! In the first person clips that i assume are shot on a GoPro, where do you have the camera mounted? Is it head mounted?
Street photography in Portland, Oregon?
Awesome. Subbed. I do around 30k images a year.. 6k+ street. You need to stop and review before moving on IMHO…
This place looks similar to Toronto's Dundas Square
Amazing set as usual! Welcome to NYC 😁 I make similar photo POV videos inspired by you and it's refreshing to see another perspective on this city, especially a place so commonly photographed like times sq. Hope you have more NY videos coming out!
Hope you keep doing these vids Evan! I love the chill vibes and seeing your thought process.
Yo, Evan. Come to Copenhagen, Denmark. A lot less neon, but we probably have a whole lot of other things.
I really enjoy your video. Very captivating and I like the way ou continuously talk, excellent narration! What aperture do you suggest when taking pictures with giant colorful signs?
awesome behind the scenes content. Thanks man BOOM
What kind of focus settings do you usually have for street. Im shooting on Sony and usually go back and forth between flexible large and zone
Good job!!
CDC suggest you only need a face mask if you yourself is sick. Face masks don’t protect you from other sick people. Best thing you can do is wash your hands and stay away from sick people. That’s about it.
Next time you're in NY hit me up on IG @capturedbytymel. Would love to grab a coffee at one of my spots and show you some nice spots in the city
Dude absolutely love the behind the scenes videos, so cool to see you on action and knowing what you have in mind. My favorite photo would also be the fist one of the dinner sign.
There's a coronavirus on NYC you should put a mask on. And keep yourself updated too.
Come to Boston please 🙏🏼
Times square is so dull for me.
man those colours!! looks awesome!! cant wait to shoot there!! cheers Evan!
Awesome video and photos ✌🏼
Loved it! Thanks for sharing. What was the problem with the image that you regretted so much, with the cool reflections on the car hood? Looked good to me, in terms of focus?
Amazing vid ! The first Diner pic is my absolute favorite 🙏🏽👌🏽
Is nobody going to point out how good the b roll is? Evan’s video game has really evolved
Thanks. It's so helpful to get involved in your thought process. In 10 days I'm going to Japan and I'm sure there will be a lot of similar street photography there.
