I really like the way you show how low is the success rate when doing street photography all day long with skills. It’s so obvious for somebody always doing it but not really for a LOT of people on line.
This speaks to a generational problem fueled by the internet: distorted perception of reality based on the illusion of - and desire for - instant success and gratification.
Hi Mike, your videos are superb! The mix of photos, music, text, and voice-over is very energetic and highly enjoyable to watch. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
This is the only pov I enjoyed in a while. The way you show your thought process, what you liked, didn’t liked, what would make it better and what is boring, helps me a lot. Also I love that you don’t talk here, just subtitles, makes me feel like I’m out there shooting photo and thinking these things to myself. Great video! You got a new sub today ☺️
As an amateur photographer the explanation in the video really helps to understand why you took the photos in the first place. What triggered your interest
The wind map shot is crazy. Face from the ad matches up with her hair to make a surreal little head. Perfect example of everything coming together. Timing, comp, exposure, foresight, etc is all you... Then the wind and ad gifted you the spectacular. It's almost like her internal monologue, and happens to match his face.
These videos are super fun. As a street shooter I'm always going over stuff like this in my head... But it's totally different internal monologue than yours. Great to hear this alternate perspective on what is ostensible a very similar pursuit.
Edit: haha, then I got to the 2/10 rating. Clearly I rate it higher!
I absolutely agree with your point about the wind shot. But my execution wasn’t good. If the face in the map was bigger and the composition was cleaner it would be a banger! But it just didn’t land perfectly. Thanks for the comment!
@@MikeChudley Ah, I gotcha. Crop that puppy! 🫠
I really like the format of this video, where you explain your thinking and give examples of a typical days shoot. Thanks.
I appreciate your effort for the video, I also really like the map one, a strong 6/10 imo.
It completes your duo of favorites for me.
I like how you analyse your images, trying to improve the details while staying focus on impact and emotions the photo provides.
I really like these types of videos. Very helpful to get more of a realistic perspective.
Glad to hear it!
Always informative 👌 Thank you for posting this idea as it can really help us learners on our journey.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
Love the work! The photo of the family waving made me say yessss
Yes mate keep doing those captions! Super informative and really help to enjoy the photos
Glad you like them!
Your videos always encourage me to go out and take photos. Thank you.
Dude - you're on a winner here! I usually hate POV's, but this one broke the mould. Usually POV's fail, because they are so boring, one gets seasick trying to watch them and no feedback is given to somehow tie it into the stills that pop up, once in a blue-moon. Yours however, is different - very different. You give the lead-up to the shot - what you initially saw that caught your eye. Then you show how you repositioned to take the shot, then the final crop or edit. Keep it up!
Really pleased you liked this. Thanks!
Great way to show your photowalk. Fun and interesting. Thank you for the work.
Really appreciate that Fred!
That “so you go to church” transition killed me 😂
Haha great. It made me laugh when editing 😂
Love the video! great improvement in the tempo of the latest ones
Glad you like them!
Very well presented, useful and inspirational, subscribed. 👍🏻
Hey, I discover your work. Very interesting video. It's awesome to be in your head watching you working. Thank you for that. Keep going, it's very interesting.
What a fun, entertaining and informative video - loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
“REAL” street photography ❤
Love this video style 👏 Thanks Mike!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love the style of this video!
I like your videos and your funny and ironic comments very much!
Thanx for that!
Glad you like them!
Superb! Enjoyed, and learnt something new. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
I love London for street photography. Unfortunately I live very far. Maybe someday be back. Congratulations for your street work Mike. I learn and enjoy a lot from your videos.
"so you go to church..." *insert sponsor of this video* hahahah that sequence cranked me up! great vid mike like always! m11 is such a great camera
Hahaha I’m so pleased I’m not the only one. I laughed when editing that together
Hey, I like the map photo, it was my fave!
Banging video - thoroughly enjoyed my beef mince and rice watching. Excited to see the next one and another bowl of beef mince and rice!
Guy on bike between the eyes was my favorite.
Nice and clean!
This is so insanely helpful. Subscribed
Awesome, thank you!
Sounds like Caravan Palace is being played, good video.
Sleeping girls is my favourite, definitely a keeper !
As you can see I am catching up on your videos, and subscribed.
Greetings from Amsterdam, thanks for sharing
Yeah that one isn't too bad really, thanks for watching!
Great shots mate!
Thanks a lot!
LOVE THE TEXT ON SCREEN!!! THANKS DUDE!!
I’m glad! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Easily the best photowalk I have seen in a while ❤
Woo! Thanks
I have a friend who is er, 'unlucky' at street photography. He got into an altercation with a street entertainer who insisted on payment from my friend for having his picture taken : "I'm not here for people's entertainment, you know!"
nice one Michael
Love your natural approach. Thought through the legs was cool. Thought the preacher-one was brave. I'd have run.😂
Yo your shots are so 🔥
Glad you like them!
I love your way of shooting, I’m tooo nervous
Always great fun shooting in London, that chicken was bizarre though! My favourite shot was the sleepers, sums up a busy day of touristing in the city. Was it dangerous shooting with an M11, are you tempted by it? 🤔
I am very tempted by a m body in general to be fair! Thanks for watching and for the comment 👌🏻
Enjoyed the video. The random raw chicken zipped to the pole, hilarious. You didn't mention it but did you use the M11 and a 35mm for these images?
Yep! The chicken shot is weird haha. I mentioned it at the start, yeah it was the m11 + 35mm 👌🏻
Mine the coffee break and eyes with guy on bike, needs cropping in as do the women on bench!
Coffee photos are always a winner!
You’re too harsh on yourself. All the selected photos deserves a 9 or 10!
Consider walking down onto the Thames - theirs opening near oxo tower - also the skate park on the Southbank is a national institute - and wonder up and around Hayward gallery & and the national theatre…. Keep it going and we’ll done - peace mem
I love these pov videos with captions. Seems like a joy to shoot with the leica. Not a huge fan of the very loud distracting circus music though ;)
Haha thanks for the comment though
@@MikeChudley Thanks for the allways great content!
How do you create that analog look?
Dun think the M11 is weather resistant...
Will have to visit that spot if I get to travel there. I get frustrated when I come home with cliche and amusing shots. All too easy for me after 4 yrs of street. I'm trying to get to a deeper level. At least I get some steps in and burn calories I guess. Cheers & happy shooting!
I think a 50mm will suit your purpose better to isolate subjects. 35mm creates too much a snapshot feel, almost holiday touristy photos. Too much unwanted visual noise.
I think you do yourself a disservice, there’s a some good strong images here. It would be interesting to see how your perception of the images would be if edited in monochrome. The stretching man on the hand rail for example.
Mike, are you just showing jpegs in the video or are they edited raws?
edited raws, thanks!
Leica with screen? Just like I do it with my 100USD GRDIII :)
How do you do this so unsuspecting
Maybe you were just a bit more lucky or something, ut I think the 28mm run was a lot more successful!
Good images, 35mm works well in London, in my city 35mm is too close as people react to the camera and bruise the scene. My style is more architectural detail with incidental people included to give perspective. 40mm and 65mm work better for me
Serious question...What exactly do you typically do with these street photos? I've dabbled in some street photog just for fun but I'm always left somewhat unfulfilled after I sort through the images, thinking, well these are cool, but now what? lol I'm used to wedding and event photography where I get to deliver images to an end user, which is very satisfying and motivating. I have fun with the street photography, but I feel like I need some end goal.
There isn’t an end goal. This is entirely process oriented and not goal oriented. It’s all about being outside, getting involved, being present and having a creative outlet. If you get any good photographs, that’s a bonus.
@MikeChudley yeah that's obviously important but some people don't know how to make money doing street photography. It would be helpful to know how to make a profit from it.
@@AlyxAesthetics not even necessarily to make a profit, but I get stuck on feeling like there needs to be a destination for the images. I suppose having an Instagram or some other photo sharing location might serve the purpose, but I have such a hard time getting past "what do I do with these 100's or 1000's of images". I can understand some people doing it simply for the joy of the process. Personally I'm not there yet with street photography.
It’s mainly process-oriented for me, too, but I like to think that I am also building up a body of work, which is reflecting, with increasing accuracy, my personal view on the world. In other words, it’s all about me gaining a better understanding of how I make sense of the world and my place in it, and as this process is playing out, the images are starting to show a more definitive character when compiled into a collection. So, essentially, photo books. I don’t mean to sell but mainly to document, categorize, and preserve.
@@AlyxAesthetics most people don’t make money from street photography. Infact, id say only 0.01% of street photographers make money. Maybe when they sell a book or something. But it’s rare.
The only reason I’m able to make money doing this is by making videos for CZcams about it.
3:50 why didn't you just show him the photo?
Actually no, in regard to your first shot rated -- subjects are not boring, but more fitting. This is a good shot, rate it a 7. At 7:14 that photo is pretty solid, a good 7 -- maybe crop off the right from the girl next to the finger pointer guy on, as the left 3/4 is stronger, or I might be wrong? Let's rate the chicken a 10 nude shot. At 7:23 gives me a headache - just no.
Do you really need a ridiculously expensive camera to take snaps like these?
honestly you don't, leica's are more about the experience a photographer has with the camera, and it's more about the photographer putting the reps in to hone their craft
Good answer.
Nice Video, but it makes it clear that you don't need camera equipment that costs more than 10.000 Euro for street photography. Again.
I agree you don’t need expensive gear for street photography. And a video from 1 session isn’t going to prove that.
But out of interest, what would convince you it is worth it? If anything at all? Just curious haha
@@MikeChudley For my kind of photography my Ricoh GR is totally fine although I would love to have the new Leica Q just to own it. 😅
Mike you're a nice guy but why post pix you say yourself are poor? I think this lots scored an average of about 4/10. if your making educational vids about street photography you should be sharing better work!!!
That’s street photography though… if you judged Mike by his instagram you would think he goes out everyday and gets amazing shots with every click. These videos show what street photography is really like and how if you walk away with one good image that day you’ve done well. The educational bit is him explaining what intrigues him to take the shot and why it didn’t work out 🤷🏻♀️
Spot on Chloe. That’s it
