- Morten has never done street photography. So, here in Chania, Greece I took him out for a street photography session in the morning.
Morten's Photography Channel: / mortenhilmer
Street photography is one of my favourite things to do. I love getting out in the morning with a single prime lens and capturing the street life. The streets in Chania, Greece are perfect for this type of photograpy.
So, on the photography vlog today we headed out to take pictures at sunrise. Then, when I found out it was his first time doing street photography, I made a point to give a bit of a lesson, and leave some street photography tips.

Brendan van Son third time asking.. what Tripp’s do you use and what is that mounting plate you have on your camera?
The mounting plate is from 3 Legged Thing. I use one, it's great for getting into portrait mode quickly without having to manipulate the tripod head.
Wow!! How did I miss this segment? Two of my very favorite photographers collaborating!!
I love the photos you take during street photography sessions (coming from someone who don't really like street photo !), great job !
I'm glad you liked them! :D
Two thumbs up! I agree that the drone footage may be one of your best...well best is for you to decide, I just enjoyed it and couldn't help but think Snell is probably drooling right about now.
Thanks Bruce, and yeah, I think if Greg saw that footage he'd be on the next flight.
So when are you going wildlife photographing in the snow?
Someday, hopefully. But, first there will be some wildlife in the desert!
I like your vlog "signature style", where you continuously share your thinking whilst looking for photography compositions. Incidentally, the photo with Jodie at the corner of the building with a bike coming the other way was my favourite from this vlog. Adrian
oh my!!!! thanks so much for showing us this place. If I was there with my camera I would be going completely crazy. I absolutely love this place. So colorful... all the streets are indeed very camera friendly... awesome place.
Thanks for watching, Zdenka
Just wow!
Thanks for watching, Landon!
One of the few people on youtube that I turn my ad blocker off for.
You're the man Brendan keep up the good work man.
Thanks for that Joe, I do appreciate it and the support in general. You're the best!
When I got my camera...summer after I graduated (about a full year now), family have been asking me to take photos of the minimalist of things such as chickens. Though, one good thing, I kind of do have my first actual paid gig in person.
Chania looks really beautiful. And how amazing is that on one side you still have blue hour & yet on the other side you have those gorgeous pink pastel hues of sunrise starting to appear. Cool images at the harbour. And then the street photography is just fascinating as it expresses culture , mood & location so well.
Street photography is my favourite genre of photography, love seeing the process behind other photographers shots, great video
Thanks for the nice street photography shots. I really enjoyed hanging out with you guys, makes me want to grab my camera as I'm watching this. Have Fun!
Leave your images up a little longer please Brendan. I don't have chance to take them in. Efharisto!
glad to see more and more people get in to film photography
thanks for sharing this with us
really enjoyed watching this
This video thumb nail could be the best yet!
Thanks! I'm pretty proud of it!
Ooooooooooooooh, I actually smelt the coffee and ice cream!
My favourite people together enjoying a lovely place.
Kind regards,
Duncan from South Africa
Great fun vlog, nice to see the 3 of you out together, looking forward to seeing Morten’s take on the trip 👍😎😎
Yup, I'm looking forward to seeing what he came up with too!
great the best
It is nice to see your perspective of Hania. I was there a month ago. Farlasena beach is a great place for sunset photos. Also have a look at Elafonisi beach. Consider spending time at Rethimno for street photography. And try Freddo with cinnamon or chocolate on the top!
Freddo with chocolate? You're not very good for my sugar-free diet, are you? hahaha
very nice work, Great Vlog two photographer. Thank! Brendan and Mortem. 👌✋
Thanks for watching, as usual!
Cool pics again and I love your way of doing street photography, just sit and wait. Great tip!
Thanks for watching, and glad you like the process!
reading a scene and problem solving is good skills to have when traveling
I hope so! :D Thanks for watching, mate!
Those were some great street shots man!
Thanks mate! I'm happy with how they came out. Gotta love that Sigma 50mm
@@BrendanvanSon seems like an awesome lens. On a side note I just subbed to Morten man he is such a talented dude. Thanks for the introduction. Keep up the amazing work you are an inspiration to me.
Great Video, the street scenes look really inspiring for photography. Definitely some of your best drone footage. Swinging right by the lighthouse and the village is a classic way to get great footage, awesome work
Yup, I was very happy with how things went down. Thanks for watching Teja!
Oh man i live here! Great video and idea to get up early for photos.However, August & early September belong to high tourist season so not worth so much. But now (October) you can really capture the vibe of the rainy days, the lighthouse and the fierce sea...
Brendan, that was a real cool vid in a very nice place, just inspiring... Keep it up.
Thanks Brendan
OK. I don't normally comment and I watch a lot of channels for inspiration but gotta say I am a fan boy and love your stuff Brendan. Have given up years of wedding photography with my Canons but sold them all recently and switched to the Sony A7 III. Looking to get in to Street photography, light painting and some landscape so a new learning curve. Will watch with great interest, ever here in New Zealand my wife and I will be happy to host. Thanks for the great intel and vibe.
Thanks so much for the comment, Tony. And, yes that Sony a7iii is amazing. I had my hands on one in Patagonia and almost didn't give it back.
Hope all is well!
very enjoyable Brendan.. loved that first shot of the early morning with the street lighting.. 3:23
Thanks mate!
Great video and photos! hope you do more street photography vlogs
Great video looks like a lovely place to visit, keep up the good work.
beautiful city
Street photography is not my thing but I've spent the last week doing fair photography, which is a combination of street and event. When I haven't been taking photographs, I've been processing them (started with about 3000). At this point, total exhaustion and burn-out have set in. So glad it's over. BTW, watching you do street photography has helped with all this.
Yup, I'm glad I've never had to do event photography it's so so much work! Good on you for getting through it, though!
Like the bench placement in the first image, simple but shows a have a seat and relax and enjoy mood. Lucky there wasn’t a passed out person sleeping on the bench😜
It was funny because at one point a drunk guy came and sat on it, and I asked him politely to move one bench to the right. haha
Brendan van Son go figure glad it didn’t turn into a drunk brawl haha
Brendan, lighthouse is in a perfect position to shoot FROM. It is ok to shoot the lighthouse but best photos both at sunset and sunrise are from the lighthouse spot. See those mountains @7:14 ? Old harbor looks perfect at sunset from that spot with those mountain lit in a background. For the sake of compression you need a telephoto lens, frame the best part of old harbor with those mountains lit in a background . With some clouds in the sky it could be a perfect photo.
Thanks for the video Brendan. I take it your tripod is lightweight and ideal for travel? What make is it please?
Beautiful photos!!!!
Great lecture for me :) Thanks!
My pleasure Juraj!
Do you use the street photos for stock images? If so, do you have to stop the people on the scooters to sign releases?
I don't use these for commercial stock, nope. I would use them for editorial though. Not going to stop someone on a scooter, though.
In the past, I have found people later after photographing them, showed them the picture, got them to sign a waiver, and sent them a copy in exchange.
Makes sense. Always wondered about it though, when I do see stock images like these. I just imagine the behind the scenes of chasing people down to sign a release lol. Thanks for answering.
Off but you’ll get it with time! Keep it up! Street photography = geographical history, the essence of time for the future viewer! So record culture!!!!!
Very nice work mate.... after Patagonia you said you're slowly getting your creativity to create better images.... I can see you growing here.
Yes, I feel like I've been on a pretty good roll recently. Growth is about ups and downs and plateaus. I feel like the past 4 months have been pure growth, so it's been fun!
Great photos! It looks so cool there.
It is such a cool town!
Great video Brendan and really inspiring 😊
Thanks Wayne, appreciate the comment and view :D
If love to give street photography a try. Still a little shy with the camera in crowded streets. 👍
I think the trick is to go somewhere where the people are really friendly to the camera (like the Philippines) and get used to it there. Makes it easier, for sure.
Thanks for the input.
I'm late here for this but I thought I would add. I find that a smaller lens like a 16-35 or a 24-105 is a little easier for people in the street to digest. Whenever I use my 70-200 people are already looking at the camera and it's a bit intimidating when pointed at you. Sometimes I even use my crop sensor t6i and a small kit lens versus the full frame. Not everyone has theses options but I am saying smaller is better for street photography.
Just food for thought.
Hey Brendan great street shots. By the way, heading to Campos Grande in a week for time out in the Pantanal. Maybe the dry season will be lucky!.
Nice! The perfect time to go. September is almost a sure thing! Good luck!
want a mavic pro2 ---as well
I already ordered mine. I couldn't resist haha
need to take the 107 in the states...booo. after that I will get one
Nice! Were in Chania a couple of weeks ago and got some late afternoon/evening shots and it was really interesting to see your video and your "eyes" on Chania photography (sorry for my english composition ;)). It was a real struggle taking photos at the old port during the evening with the massive amount of people but still got some images I am satisfied with ;). But yes, Chania was really scenic with the narrow alleys and old buildings.
If you are going back to Chania I can recommend eating on the street Chatzimichali Ntaliani (Good food, good prices and not so touristicy(is that a word)).
When we got there at night I was so worried because it really is just packed with people! Sunrise was such a treat.
I might take your restaurant suggestion when we go back!
I like how photographers get out of their environment and challenge them self to try something new 🤓
I agree! I think if you put me in a studio it'd be a struggle for me. haha
@@BrendanvanSon facts of life lol
Cool video
No big deal, street photography is only wildlife photography with people ;)
Haha, exactly!
I hate drunk people, unless I´m drunk myself :-)
Me when I'm sober: OMG everyone is so loud!
Me drunk: Waohhhh everyone get louuuuud!
Hahaha
Brendan you are allways welcome here in Greece !
Crete has so many different ideas to shot ,from seascapes to amazing Highlands.
Also in mainland Mate.
Morten das not make street photografhy because there is not any Bears or Deers !!
Ha Ha !!
All the best to you & Morten !
what is the music tittle at intro ?
She is gorgeous
11:49 or so. Older woman reading the paper. How'd you miss it? You were RIGHT there. LOL Great video man. What a gorgeous place. Question if you have the time. What is the benefit of shooting in black and white, rather than just converting TO black in white in post? Much of a difference? I don't do a lot of B&W, except when there's horrible lighting at concerts, so it's not really my thing, but I think i want to get into it more. Thanks.
Didn't miss it. Jodie got a shot of her!
want to see you ,thomas and morten in the same frame
Maybe up in the north somewhere. Would be fun!
Holy cabana! Am I an hour early to the party?
Well, first hour. So, here's 1 point.
Hahaa 4:31 made me smile.
:D
Bro.. try to kerala Forest and beach for ramesharam Tamil Nadu
Drunk deer and badgers would make for an epic photo shoot!
Haha, could you imagine?
I think at 9:43 Morten found some wildlife :))
No Peace-Dog?? Thing you got a few applications for this position though....
It would have been glorious if I got it 3x times in a row but I just got out of the church😊
Don't blame this on jesus!
I’m not. Just sayin 😅
Shame you couldn't move those bins.
Yup, I was hoping the trash collector would come by. But, they came just after sunrise.
Do not D.D. ....drunk deer ⁉️ 🇨🇦
I find it hard to understand why you tell us about a scene before you take it when you know how quickly things change in the morning. I appreciate it, but you take an awful chance at losing the light, street lights especially will go off at any time.
Yup! Usually I grab one image to make sure I have something and then talk to you guys. Then, if the lights don't go off I try to perfect it. :D
Risky business this vlogging stuff!
Brendan van Son Thanks for taking risks for us to be able to learn. Just be careful for yourself please :-)
