Street Photography Magazine: Edition #1

Great video! Could you also have a section on photo contests? Cheers!

Great channel just discovered it. Love how down to earth and real you are; Excited for the next edition!

Absolutely brilliant Brian! The format holds attention and is a great method of containing so much variety of information. Very enjoyable and a worthwhile watch. Great stuff! 👏👏

I’m going to try the the rubber band trick for batteries 👍

Great video Brian! Very informative and motivational as always. Love the new format.
I don’t know Paul personally but I’m happy that he has found a way to carry on with his passion for street photography, on his own terms.
Outside of that, of course I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this video. Always so much to learn here.

Thank you! This such an awesome and very watchable format!

Love the new format 👍 looking forward to hearing your thoughts on analogue 😁

Thank you Brian for a well made video. The new format suits you so much better. You seem to have found a sense of purpose that you appeared to be looking for in earlier videos. This, the pace and your delightful inability to refrain from inserting teachable moments have me look forward to your next.

Love this format, thank you. Love the sheer honesty too. Not much of it around these days. Looking forward to the next edition

I think you need to define a "street photograph." My definition would be a photograph taken with just the photographer and his camera, no tripods, no reflectors, no professional models.

I think that's a good "First Addition," but I disagree with your choice of photographs. Would you really want that photograph of the newspaper-reading, cigar smoker hanging over your fireplace in your home?

Saturday jobs. Yep, the key to truly valuing something you wanted and got. Love this new format, Brian.

My bag always has my Streetsnappers badge on it!

Congratulations on your new magazine, Brian. I'm really looking forward to joining your workshop in September, especially as I now know that as well as a day of great street photography, I'll get a badge and membership of your collective as well. How about, 'a bravura of photographers.'

Superb format Brian, bring on Edition 2. Group of street photographers? An Equivalence of Street photographers! From the idea by Georgia O'Keeffe> I had to create an equivalent for what I felt about what I was looking at, not just copy it.

Thanks Brian, great way to present a magazine. How about a 'clique' of street photographers, or maybe simply a 'snap' !

My first real camera was a Russian made Zenith B with a Helios lens, yes the leather cases did have a distinctive smell !!

This is my fist visit to your site and found it informative and interesting. I am just getting into street photography "proper" and trying to get as much home work done before pounding the street. Do feel this maybe a club for members, as you mention the badge click, but willing to be convinced otherwise. Time will tell I have an open mind. I do use Fuji cameras!

Well it's hard to get the x70 and prices are at the roof for me. I have a x30, its a joy of a camera to use, it's just the sensor that makes me sad. Bought a xf10 recently , image quality is great but the auto focus and the handling 😔 miss the titling screen too.. X30 should marry xf10 and have a baby 🤱 I agree that Griii in my mind is the best pocket camera, but too much € for me...

A 'lurk' of Street Photographers?

Great video. I've been struggling to get into street photography again and this has really helped to get my appetite back. Cheers.

I've been enjoying your talks and thoughts since I started watching your channel and I've ventured to comment on my views of street photography thinking of your counter opinion over my thoughts! I don't know if you feel like correcting me! If you have done so It'd have taken my photography further up! The picture chosen by you by Mr Paul is so much to be critical about, because personally I don't see it does much of an impact at the moment of viewing the whole shot raised in front of my eyes and I had to spend a lot of time to fetch the woman figure from the frame and it is a feeling of restlessness as long as the picture remained to be seen! Not only that bizarre feeling but the coercion to see picture in the light of calmness is destroyed by the burning cigar and black receding pillars tend to lead the mind to a nothingness evoking a sense of sudden void and you never settle down to figure out where to be a restive place and you become really tired by the time you have discovered the figure in the paper and not being thrilled of seeing the woman in the paper on the lap of the relaxing figure! Yes, it's true the composition also incorrect as one of those are being the position of the cigar is too close to the figure making a sense of stiffness in the relaxing mood! Too much of concrete took away everything from the meaning of the picture, I believe!

A group of street photographers together may be called:
"A street-photo-spoiler-bunch"! 😅

Another good video Brian, thank you. I'm using the wonderful Fujifilm X100F as my Main Street camera, but my 2nd 'Pocket' camera is the tiny Nikon 1 J5 with 28mm (equivalent) f2.8 pancake lens. It's a quirky but amazingly proficient and creative camera. Highly recommend at a ridiculously low 'used' price.

I love to shot film,i have a zorki 4 to and olympus om2n and ricoh 500

A group of street photographers could be called a "a distraction" or "nobodarazzi" (not really a word but related to paparazzi).

Love the video, and the info. I do street here in Sin City, USA (aka) Las Vegas NV... Keep up the good work.

While your go-to focal length seems to be 28mm, I’m interested in getting some feedback about the GRIIIX and 40mm for pocketable street shooting.

Happy snappers

Hello Brian, This is David from Germany - I have just discovered your channel and I have a question: are there any Photobooks worth owning available covering the last three crazy years? I have a 3 yo and one day I have to open him up what happened at the time of his birth. I would love to get a good photo documentary work about it. Are there any yet released?

Great video Brian. Thanks. I have another tip for elastic bands that I actually thought about after one of your workshops when I was playing around with zone focussing/manual focussing. I was using a lens with a rather loose focus ring that kept drifting off the set target of 2-3m, and a wide band around the focus ring anchored it much better to the lens barrel. Thanks again!

Great video Brian, seems this format suits you better, there’s a happier, probably the wrong word but hey, feel to the way you are presenting this one, if it feels right then keep it.
I’ll be in Blackpool one day this weekend, ( if I had the funds it would have been 2/3 days as I only live 45 miles away )between Thursday and Sunday as the Rebellion Punk Festival is on so I’ll get some portraits, street photography then maybe head onto the Prom and Piers or over to Lytham for some Seascapes, all weather depending that is. If the weather isn’t great I’ll stick to Street Photography.

Hi Brian, great video as always . I'm in my first year of street photography and have to say I'm liking it more than I thought I would. I'm looking at putting a small book together but I'm wondering .....if I put these images into a book, do I need permission from the people I'm putting in it? If it comes out OK I may decide to put it on amazon . Am on one of your street photo workshops in Dec so lookingbforward to that but can't wait till then to ask.
If you could help then great.
Thanks, nick

Hi Brian - enjoyed the new look magazine - isnt a collection of Photographers called "the snappers?"

Workshop in Edinburgh?? Brilliant video by the way.

I like the new format and understand the name change but I must admit I like the name “Street Snappers” as well. This is why I suggest that a group of street photographers be known as STREET SNAPPERS. Would love to take one of your seminars but it is out of reach at the moment. Stay sharp.

I have used the rx100 mark 1 for street photography now for six years takes great high contrast black and white. Good build quality . Thank you for interesting video

I just discovered your channel through this video. You've gained a new subscriber! Keep up the great work!

How do I join your collective. ALan from San Diego, CA., USA

Great stuff‼️Yes, the elastic battery band trick works every time✌️🇦🇺

I am for sure one of the people who is equally obsessed with gear as I am the artform itself. When I was younger, even before I was ever into photography, I always loved getting my hands on old, mechanical cameras. Something about even the cheap cameras from the 50s/60s is just attractive to me.

I have a GR3x myself. It's so so good. And people don't take both it or me seriously when I have it with me.

Excellent video sir.

Not having budget for a Ricoh GR I went to MPB and got a used Panasonic GX880 (or 800/850) with a Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 which gives me a setup that's about the same size as the Ricoh with an equivalent 28mm and half the price. I then set it up as per your 'street' configuration video. :)

East Ended is amazing!

Thank you. Finally, someone who works original and doesn't sell presets ❤

A “pride” of street photographers. (Although I also like the other suggestions I’ve read here.). Thank you for a sensible, down-to-earth discussion. You’re my go-to guy for advice.

The thing with presets is that most of them are being flogged by not very good photographers trying to turn their gullible followers into cash cows. It’s just grift.
