Street photography can make you money and help you get jobs; that's what it did for me and still to this day is what fills out the gaps in my portfolio.

There’s a couple of people in the comments that always make sure to watch my content just to leave a negative comment but on Instagram are asking me for tips and saying we should link up.
Thank you guys for keeping me relevant.
😂
That’s soooo f*ck*d up 😂
@@seed157 hey everyone it’s on of the people who are in my DMs but get sassy on here! ❤️
Man, street photography has awarded me sooo much in my photography career. I've gained clients, art shows, jobs, and friends due to me walking around taking pictures.
Keep grinding bro, we're proud of you.
It’s truly an unused tool.
Big facts, street photography is so diverse in photography genres that you’re lowkey shaping your skills in whatever future lane you decide to get into. Street photography was the reason I realized I really enjoy taking portraits and from there into fashion work. It’s still a work in progress but I’m proud of the progress I’ve made because I love street photography. As I improve in other genres i improve in the streets too.
Most definitely!
This video reminds me of when a IG person once told me that my feed was filled with too many different genres to be successful. I politely told him that I'm not trying to be successful, at least not according to his definition. I'm just having fun with my camera. Everyone is an expert! Street photography can be a great training ground because of all of the skills used to do it. Some of them aren't even specific to photography. Things like seeing and anticipating when things are about to happen translates to other genres like sports photography. I love that you are so diplomatic in how you tell people how you feel about these issues! LOL! Keep rockin' Dee!
Never listen to IG professionals.
Some of the truest stuff I’ve ever heard. Almost every job, assignment or print sale I’ve ever earned stemmed from an agency, organization, etc. admiring my Street Photography.
It’s the foundation of my profession, and people should feel empowered by its ability. Thanks for the shoutout and great video! 🔥
The GOAT commented? 🥹
Street Photography is such a massive genre I think people take it for granted. Literally top commercial projects for decades have relied on basic street photography style photos.
I love the raw honesty of this channel. Idgaf is my mantra now. Thanks for that.
I got you.
Well-said. A street photographer is someone who can go out, into an unstructured environment, among unfamiliar people, and get things done. It really is that simple. The world’s best portrait studio photographer may be simply unable to perform outside the structured environment of a studio. The world’s best landscape photographer may be uncomfortable around people, or may be unable to hold a camera steady or level, without using a tripod and a bubble level. The world’s best flash expert may have unable to perform when tasked with using ambient light. Et Cetera.
I do not claim to be a “street photographer.” From mid-2010 to the end of 2017, I had a duty to photograph crime victims, most of them living, breathing, and traumatized. Some were still bleeding. (This was an added duty, not my “profession.”) I retired in 2018, after 33+ years of service, and am still trying to re-learn to even want to photograph people. But, as a public servant, I had to go out and get things done, which included being very empathetic, as necessary, so, can appreciate how street photography skills and talent would be assets when tackling serious projects, across a range of genres.
I’ve enjoyed seeing your mics become bigger and bigger over the months maybe years I’ve been watching you now. That’s a big ol boy
I love the soft lighting in your video x
Always appreciate your insights Dee. Cheers to the next venture.
Weird how I stumbled upon this video. Appreciate the message, loved your photos displayed during, and glad that you’re working in Texas. Austin, SA & SM are so underrated and beautiful. Hope to go there again soon and hit up the streets
Much appreciated!
Back again with another banger! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Going by your Africa comment, I agree and I am surprised by the huge lack of street photography from Africa. I have several friends in Africa, some who I would love to visit and I would enjoy exploring the major cities there, photographing daily life. Based on what I've seen on Google Maps Street View, the major African cities look like they have plenty to offer to photograph, especially since so many people appear to be busy working and shopping. And I see many interesting buildings, colors and textures. Most photographers when they visit Africa seem to only photograph animals on safari. Or if they do photograph people, it's usually just tribal people or those who live in extreme poverty. They don't seem interested in photographing daily African life of those who are more modern and somewhat well off.
There's a lot, I mean, A LOT of street photography from Morocco, and it's all beautiful! But it's true, Morocco is the only African country that I can name with a history with street photography UnU
It’s the same thing for Mexico when people travel. They take photos of certain areas but again, there is a suburb, hospital, mall etc close by they’re ignoring. As well as a lot of American immigrants living there.
@@DeeRosa I’ve been in Mexico years ago and there was plenty to photograph there that was street photography worthy. I just wish I was interested in photography then as I am now. Though I suppose I could try traveling there again since I live close by.
100% agree with you on the fact that street photography helped me to enhance my skills in many ways so that I can apply them to paid work.
That alone should drive photographers as a self-investment.
And, en passant, your work is remarkable, as well as your videos.
Been following gajan’s work for a little while now and love his stuff. As another brown dude street photography never felt like something in my comfort zone but seeing him and stockezy do their thing really inspired me to give it a go.
Gajan is the dude.
My man Dee Rosa dropping a factual knowledge bomb! I haven’t had the opportunities but I have the same thought, street photography can help develop storytelling. I keep coming back to this channel because of this mindset, 7:28 .
The “no money in street photography” crowd always remind me of the Nas “hip hop is dead” era. It’s just a foolish to speak in absolutes just because you haven’t figured out how to connect the dots.
Anyway, great video and appreciate the mention. We gotta catch up on your PBR work because that looks incredible ✌🏾
Great video and message.
Thank you kindly
Another great video! Smashing it Dee.
Thank you
Enjoyed this one
Glad you enjoyed it
Yo great video as usual! Been following you for long time now found out recently my family is going to San Antonio for a weekend coming up. Haven't been to Texas at all before so if you see this I'd love to hear some food recommendations 😆
Chalula’s, Taco BLVD, Taqueria Datapoint, Chunky’s Burger, Frida’s, Yaghi’s Pizza, Curry Boys BBQ.
@@DeeRosa sweet man, we are staying very close to two of those places. looking forward to the bbq and mexican food, we have good places here in Atlanta but excited for the real deal, appreciate it!
Street photography is also a master class if you can self teach. Combine that with the fact it can be so readily done.. and its super powerful for even becoming good enough to pull off paid gigs.
Very well said, totally agree with everything you said!🙌
Thanks.
The black and white photos are amazing.
Thank you
I've always been a firm believer in doing what you love.
I started photography as a hobby, taking photos of life in general and of family and friends. Along the way, learned how to grow and be better with composition and along the way sports photography with whatever I have (never top end camera or lens tech). The beauty of the process is learning how to improve with the tools you have at hand.
Street photography is a niche that both hobbyist and professionals can excel at. It's the unpredictable reactive element of this that helps photographers grow and learn more about themselves and their own interests, as well as their individual photo taking skills. Sometimes, it's hard for folks to understand that maybe photography isn't about sharing the photos taken, but for the memories of the moment.
Good point.
Great video BTW
Street is life and life is what you capture 90% of the time with most photography genres. ❤
🤝🏽
Just came across your channel. Fire video.
Appreciate that
Nice video. But there is still a chip on your shoulder. Proof is in your description -- "because someone will ask." That's snarky. But I did enjoy learning about how street teaches & trains other forms, as I believe in that. So, thank you!
I don’t give a f ck about your opinion. Sincerely.
Great vid, D. Quick question for you: when building an online portfolio how do you group or section the street photos? Especially for someone that doesnt have many profesional projects.
Ive previously done like a “mood” that the images convey together. But maybe location is best? Any tips are greatly appreciated thanks man
I just grabbed the ones I liked. Didn’t care about mood or theme. I’m going strongest over anything else because that’s what I’m hoping get me a job.
Keeping it G
Came for the DeeRant™, Stayed for the ill-placed censorship beeps. 😁 Great stuff as usual, man.
Yeah I gotta work on em 😅
The greats didn't know about themselves before they got started.....they just did it.
I like that.
This! If it's something you have to do, it's gonna get done. What may come is just icing on the cake.
Slowly getting into street photography and it's so much fun. And yeah, morals are good to have in street photography.
Keep having fun 🤝🏽
Truthest truth that has ever truthed
I agree with everything you did lose me at the property photography part and calling that out because every single one of them that I know, I actually do it for documentary purposes within their tradition and culture. Obviously I do find a huge issue with somebody not from the background is doing it but most of people I know that’s doing it is actually from that.
Or they employed by somebody.
But I do understand what you mean…
Regardless, I love your street photography work definitely inspirational
I don’t think I mentioned property photography… but I didn’t call anyone out I just mentioned the hypocrisy of how we pick and choose what to hate and how we only want to stop street now that it’s become even more accessible.
This is an awesome take. Have you ever happened to do any street photography down here in the Valley? Im born and raised down here and over the past 3 or 4 years ive wanted to get into street photography. being on the border, i worry about crossing that line of pandering amd contributing to the narrative of our area as being overrun by immigrats and drugs like Border Wars. I plan to do some photo walks in the neighbouring citys in the next couple of weeks. Is there any particular way that you found to transition from landscape/cityscape to people, living and shooting in some what of a similar community?
Not yet! I want to but not sure where to go and ended up in southmost last time.
I just focused on using people for scale and photographing things that people frequented. So people aren’t always my subject but their proximity to “life” is.
@@DeeRosa yeah, I figured Brownsville would be a great place for cityscapes with the older architecture. I spend a lot of time in Harlingen too and the downtown area has a mix of renovated architecture along side some original standing. I shoot bird and landscape mostly these days but would like to make a jump into street photography but just need to feel out how to make that transition. Your videos have helped. Thanks
@@DeeRosa oh, shit, cool. That makes sense.
Are you using a stereo microphone? It's a little irretating when watching your video with headphones :) But nice video, thanks!
May have forgotten to balance the channels.
It’s all subjective. When it comes to art there is no “how to” blueprint. The imagination has more of an effect than the reality.
This isn’t an artist, it’s a stale ass CZcams influencer
Are those people who shit on street work not aware of Magnum photo agency?
Also yeah that fuji grain at night 😩
You said Doriyan Coleman and Gadgen how do you spell this gagen you speak of
Gajan Balan.
I've found out that people who point out something is immoral are the ones with the immoral mind projecting that immorality onto other people's businesses.
Sometimes feels like that
Handsomest man on the internet ‼️
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Everytime I see a video about ethics, rules and the do and don’t of street photography they tend to be from the UK 😂 why ?
Man beats me
😴😴😴
Stale as hell
What does that mean?
It means this is some really Reddit ass content
@@ritosuckerino6763 ?? What does Reddit ass content mean? Are you making up a new thing or?
🤌👊✌🔥
🤝🏽
this video made me so so happy and i relate so much to it 🥹💕
thank youuuuu
