One thing I love about street photography is I meet so many cool people! Used to be scared to death but when I changed the way I looked at it it all changed. I look at people as new future friends and I always want to get people in their best light! 🙂🙂🙂
Ahh that’s such a good way to look at it! Some people actually might love it and will ask for a photo. You’d be surprised. Only one way to find out, and that’s putting yourself out there 😊
Best thing is these photos will grow more appreciation as the years roll by. Small details like text fonts, fashion, colours, signs etc will all change as the years go by. That's the real beauty of street photography, it's a snapshot of time. Nice one Faye, you got some great shots there and met some lovely people on the streets. 📸👍
Street photography always makes the best photos. I get so nervous to do it myself. I give you a lot of credit for going out of your comfort zone. It's definitely a great genre of photography. Capturing an image of people doing everyday things is so photogenic. I enjoyed the video so much! Good job to everyone that made this! Going out and doing street photography right after it stopped raining at night will give you some really cool photos.
My best advice for street photography is something I will always preach. LFTL, Look For The Light! Whether it’s day time, night time, or in between, light will always make your shot more impactful. Street lights, neon signs, car headlights, trams, all make for great shots. In the day time, look for those sharp shadows brought by a sunny day. Look for the light bouncing off the buildings causing a unique refraction. LFTL will help your street photography skills in no time.
Olympus can be frozen solid, buried in sand, or left in rain for literal days on end. Weather sealing in Fuji, Nikon and many cameras is standard practice for the last decade or so at least.
I have a hard time finding interesting shots in a medium sized city. You are in a place that looks so interesting with the trains, trams, Chinatown, etc. Great stuff!
Ahh I see what you mean! That’s when rainy nights and foggy mornings are coming in clutch. You can make it look so moody, even if it’s empty streets. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
This is the first video I've seen of yours, obviously because it was about Street Photography which I am really into. I loved your photos and you have some great ones too. You should keep doing Street Photography. Thanks for sharing.
I shoot B&W very often. When it's a sunny day - turn a contrast in the profile to max so that you have nice and crispy B&W photographs instead of muddy ones when gray tones are too much. Shoot RAW+JPG, your JPGs will be much nicer in B&W and you will need less things to edit. If you made mistake - you still have the RAW file.
Great Video! It's nice to see you going outside your comfort zone. I wanted to give some tips for people wanting to do Street Photography but maybe struggling with the anxiety of it! • Get ahead of your picture. Work out what you want, point your camera or position yourself ahead of the subject and let them move into your frame. • Try to use the view finder less. People will walk past you not even realising you are taking a picture. • Take a picture of someone but don't move your camera until they walk past you. This makes it look as if you were photographing something else and your attention was not on them. • A NYC photography called Trever Wisecup has a Walkie Talkie video that will give you real anxiety seeing how in your face he gets with a flash! You'll see how unobtrusive you are in comparison! I hope this helps people who want to give it a try and are struggling to get the confidence to do it :)
You always share your vast knowledge with such whimsy and humor in your storytelling. This video was awesome for so many reasons: - The music each day told a story. Great job on the editing! I loved the composition of the two men sitting in the same position in the bakery. What made it stand out was the choice of music while showcasing the photos. It reminded me of Penn Station, NYC, commuting in the morning. - Your street photography showcases your talent, highlighting your compositional awareness and creativity. My favorite shot was the black-and-white image of the train passing behind silhouetted figures. - Your reminder to practice patience by staying in one place and observing until the perfect subject comes into view for your canvas. - Attention to the details, discovering a glimmer of light, and then patiently waiting for the perfect opportunity. - Using a body cam to show your configuration changes (on the fly) as you prepare for a shot. - Filming while you're not feeling well and showing that you're not perfect was, actually perfect! I am new to photography and videography and continue to pick up great ideas through your entertaining content. Next month, I'm headed to the US Open in Queens, NY to watch the early round Tennis matches, and your video gave me so many ideas! Great work Faye!
Thanks for one of the better videos on street photography in recent times. I throughly enjoyed it. I do switch my camera into b/w mode. The results are great. I do like your choice of using the 85mm. It allows me to stay back. Thanks again.
Really enjoyed this video, Fayes. You shot so many interesting pictures. And your composition was amazing. You should shoot more street photos because you're good at it💯.🇨🇦 Roy
Love these photos.. Wonderful work, specially with the fact that it's not something you do very often.. Very very well done, Faye!!! Can’t wait to see more street from you 😁
What a life, you are so blessed to be able to do this for a whole week. You are living a lot of people's dream, you should be proud!!!🎉🎉🎉 Also you are a great photographer.
Very happy to see you embracing street/urban photography. It can be extremely challenging at first. Finding and capturing moments that happen quickly. But after a while, you'll find yourself in tune with your environment and your photos will just flow. Amazing work!!
I love your photos! You make the ordinary look extraordinary with your editing skills. You make the scene seem dark, almost gothic looking but you bring in a pop of colour and or light to really make your shots stand out. You have a great eye for composition too.
To me the 2 most difficult disciplines are wildlife and street photography (not street portrat). Wildlife because how how much preparation you have to do and patience. Some stay on the exact spot for hours even days just to capture maybe a couple of photos of an animal that just disappears right away. For street, if you take it seriously, its very difficult because of how the environment and elements constantly change not to mention the lighting all the while still incorporating or keeping in mind composition (basic and advance)
Very nice. I typically shoot wildlife and natural landscapes, but have drifted into shooting urban environments from an interest in abandoned buildings. Your week long session has inspired me to do more!
I love all your videos. The editing, portrait, cars and tips and tricks ones. But this one just had something special. I would say it's one of your best ones to date.
That's pretty amazing for not being used to it. But you are always attracted to people because that's your thing. And with your gained knowledge you nailed it. Yet you still try to direct things a bit sometimes. And it pays. You always look so cheerful and your energy affects people around you. I like street photography but I'm too shy myself around people I don't know and I'm always afraid about their reaction when I would photograph them unknowingly. Another very good street photographer is Adrien Sanguinetti. He lives in Japan and can make a really boring, random place look good in his photos. Hope you do more like this. You got the feel for it.
A moment of confession. There must be something from with me recently. I enjoy watching street photo shoot videos from my hometown Melbourne instead of going there and doing it myself. I have to pull my socks up, I suppose. These cold and rainy days produce excellent photos. From your camera Faye. I'm no match. Cheers, Tad
Photography is in my blood, in my small town (a Dutch 'vestingstad'), my family has always been known as the photographers. I never did anything with photography, but I've gotten really into it in recent years (using my iPhone). Now I've bought my first starter camera (Panasonic Lumix DC-FZ82D, I'll invest in a Canon if I can prove to myself that this is a hobby I enjoy). I want to get into landscape and street photography and watched this video because of it. It's cool to see another Dutchy going about photographing! Thanks for showing us a bit out of your week and cool photos!
Faye, I really enjoyed a week of street photography, from rainy days and nights, to sunny days on the streets then into different markets, you definitely got better as time went on. Great seeing the city and its people! So cool, I was photo editor for my college paper, so I’ve done darkroom developing and worked with black and white which I love playing with contrast, Also covered sports from football, tennis, basketball etc. also covered models at local stores of business with was fun, sometimes I use starlight filters to give it a sparkle. You should try Australia sporting game it’s fun especially if you have access to the field, which I did covering for the college paper. I felt bad that you got sick from the weather but I know it was worth it. Great job do more of this it was fantastic. ❤ Thank you, Leo 🎉
Ahh thanks Leo!! 🙏🏼 Happy to hear you could tell I improved as the video went on. I feel like that as well. Sports photography sounds challenging as well. Never really done that before. Except for motorsports hahah. Thank you for your support! I feel better now btw 😉😊
I REALLY love the shot of the dude at 21:43 ! Really nice editing, really nice light, and just the perfect amount of bokeh that doesn’t obscure the environment he is in but still separates him from the background.
Loved the stuff at the markets! You nailed those isolated moments, plus the way the sun was just beaming was 🔥. The guy on the drums and the dogs were really nice to.
Love the way you’ve brought us along with your journey. I always enjoy wandering around big cities doing similar, it’s never dull and always different. Great work, thanks for sharing, looking forward to your next street experience
Thank you for this video. It is good going outside your comfort zone. This is how we grow. The more you shoot the more you see shots. You have to develop your senses to see and anticipate what is going to happen. You have to know what you like and want to capture. A good example is juxtaposition. I didn’t know this existed until I started shooting on the street. Now I see it all the time. The same with reflections. Reflections for glass plates. I love to get very close to people and shoot reflections from their sunglasses. Puddle reflections shots are the best. There are many ways to shoot street. A common method is to use a prime. Select a focal length. 28-35-50mm are the traditional choices. My aperture is between 5.6 and 8. As a result, I don’t choose a fast lens. In add, a slower lens will be smaller and lighter than your faster lens. I don’t spray and pray. That generates too many images for me. I also use a small and lightweight body. When I walk the streets I do that for hours at a time. My gear gets heavier over time. I want to be unintrusive in the environment. Take my image and move on unobserved. I don’t interact with my subjects. I didn’t like many of your images. They seem like images randomly captured. I did like the image of the woman with the clear umbrella at 6:40. Did you look at classic street images? Your images don’t look like them. I frequently shoot in B&W. I like that look. I also set the compensation to -1/3 to -2/3. An interesting thing to do is shoot B&W jpegs and also shoot raw so you get both color and B&W. The benefit is you se the images in the EVF or LCD in B&W. The world looks different in B&W. As you suggested, you see the light better in B&W. Street photography is hard. Good insight to shoot 1st and ask questions later. The moment lasts for an instant and then is gone. Be open to what the street offers you. You can’t me it happen. I make images with intention. I’m only satisfied, barely, with 2-5% of my images. On the other hand, I enjoy myself 100% of the time I walk the street with my camera. Did you find the man that gave you the flower sexist? He gave you the flower because you are a beautiful girl? How asked him to judge your looks? It appears to me, you are an adult. Thus you are a woman. I bet if I had that interaction with the florist I wouldn’t have been given the flower.

Hard to believe that you do not do street much. Some of the photos you got were just freaking incredible. Like I watch my fair share of street fotography conent on CZcams, so I can savely say that you are very good. Edit: typo
Seriously, this has to be my personal favourite of your videos 😍 That shot of the couple both on their phones, really hit me hard, lots of emotion and that is exactly what street is, you did so good, oh and also that guy who gave you the Jonquil flower! My tips for street photog are, the flip screen is your friend, i dont think i ever use the VF when im doing street, and if you find someone who you are photographing, and they make eye contact, just pan around as if you are taking a video, ans lastly, never make eye contact unless you want to show them your shot of them 😊 Love ya work Faye! 📸
Loved the video and the post processing mood. The black and white exercise is the basic one they teach in photography school. Sometimes I like doing it. A creative idea might be to use slow shutter speed to make the moving people like ghosts. Again, great work, carry on.
Like you say in other vids - we never have nothing to shoot. There's something about the city, the vibe. And if there aren't people about like when I shoot (early morn just after dawn), the architecture and vehicles tell constant stories.
This video popped up in my recommendations today. So glad it did! This was a fun and enjoyable video to watch while providing some great ideas for shooting street. BTW, when I first started watching the video I thought somehow the chess player channel I sometimes watch by Anna Cramling, became a photography channel. You two are so much alike! Thanks for a fun video. I will be subbing.....
I think you inspired me Faye. Love these photos, absolute fire! I have an older Canon EOS Rebel R5i (uses the older EF-S lens). And I just invested in a new-to-me, Canon 24-105mm f/4 & 50mm f/1.4 lenses. Going to try them both out at the beginning of September at a 50th wedding anniversary, followed by a trip to Japan for the first time! I'm so stoked!! And BTW, that florist in this video is right. You're a total babe. And I have been to the Netherlands as well, and they are beautiful people. I loved it there! I appreciated how the bicyclists have their own bike lanes and have right of way, and how convenient the public transportation is. Keep up the excellent work, and I hope you continue to inspire others! BTW, your orange hat is awesome!
I’m enjoying this video immensely. I love the moody rain shots. I would wanna try experimenting with rear shutter curtain slow speed blur as people are walking especially with the nighttime red lighting.
Wow that 35 lens is a beast compared to the tiny Sony DT 35mm f/1.8 SAM I own. I'm sure there's a significant difference in quality between these two but I'll say the tiny size of the Sony is an asset during street photography.
Do you use the A mount lenses on Sony E bodies with LA-EA… adapters? If that’s the case, Sony FE has a native Sonnar 35mm F2.8 lens, it weighs the same as your DT lens. 😎
You are so great doing street photography. One of your video’s I enjoyed the most. Love the urban style edit. Hard contrast B/W, love it! You are walking with massive and heavy equipment, you could try Fuji X100VI for 35 (40 MP good for cropping later) and 50 mm (digital zoom still 20 MP). Get well soon, greetz from NL 🍀
Ahh thank you!! Happy to hear you enjoyed it 🙏🏼 Playing with black and white was fun, I’d love to try it during a portrait photoshoot as well. With harsch daylight ☀️
In the past i photographed street a lot. After this chapter i didn´t have a time for it and i really missed that. But last year i went back to it and vith analog classic cameras. I must say it is beautifull and if people react to normal camera, with classic camera is 100 times more. And this reactions and contact with people is amazing on street photography. Good job of you and i must say the photo of man with umbrella and coffe cup on your second day is georgeous!
You got soooo many awesome pics ! That moody rainy weather definitely adds a nice mystery to street Photography ! I love the commitment of doing that everyday for a week straight up. I am such a procrastinator lately , and your video really makes me wanna go out and shoot. Keep it up Fayeeeeee * Also that Black and white mode in street phot, is really helpful. It gives you a different kind of perspective..
Ahh I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for your support. It’s honestly so fun, even if you end up not editing the shots. The whole process of trying to get some goodies is a little challenge at it self 😊
Congrats on the new lens. 8:33 is my favourite. Btw, your idea about shooting in monochrome mode might be genius! It lets you focus on details and tones without the distraction of colour. And if you shoot raw, you still have a colour file to use in the end.
Great job getting out there and pushing your boundaries! I like how you switched to monochrome. That's my usual method, shoot in mono/raw to see the light, and then see how well the color benefits the shot. Obviously, there are times when I do shoot for color first and light second, but those aren't near as often.
Thank youu! Happy to hear you enjoyed it. Yeah thought I’d switch it up, it’s a very different way of taking photos. And it’s handy you still keep the coloured raw files. 🙏🏼
You definitely got a better but I may be saying that because I'm a portrait guy and by Sunday, you were getting some nice portraits. Tip: Consider framing the portrait through objects closer to you to make the image even more interesting.
Nice POV and good to watch your journey. I thought the images from day one were great. But, you were defiantly more confident as the week went by, even with how you interacted with others. Really solid video.
When doing street photography, I do the same with the camera low and looking through the LCD, I never look at my subjects in the eye, I shoot and move on.
Girl, are you freaking kidding? One week of street photography and you’ve not done this before? You are an absolute natural at street photography. Amazing shots. You’ve got the eye.
You are one talented lady. Keep the equipment compact and simple. This way you will react to situations much quicker and being much less conspicuous. There is a reason Leica rangefinders and those Fujis are popular with street guys.
@@inyourfayes I don't do much street photography, but when I do I'd take my EM5 MKII for digital but mainly as I shoot film, it is the smaller cameras that I have like my Leica IIIc, Leica M or even my Minox 35s. These will fit in the palm of your hands. Lets hope to see more of your ' street photography ' please? A couple of the photographs had hints of Hass and Leiter phorography. Brilliant.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. I enjoy street photography with my Nikon Z, 90% time using Tamron z fit 35-150 f/2-2.8.
When doing street photography, you can go for the more inconspicuous approach, but often times I find that embracing a more tourist or obvious look sometimes helps with people just ignoring you, in a counter intuitive way
Really cool vlog and some great photos. Question, when doing things like street photography are you mainly shooting in shutter priority to captor those in the moment movements?
Great photos, I love seeing Melbourne photographed. You captured my friends at the Vic Market, they're the guys at Spanish Donuts - Churros. The guy playing the congas is the owner and the other guy is his brother. Both him and I are into photography. I've sent them your video, I'm sure they'll be super happy they're in it
Very nice video! My best advice when you do street photography (even more in documentary photography) is a quote by Robert Capa: “if your pictures aren‘t good enough, you‘re not close enough.“ Which does not mean zooming, but being close yourself. You see and feel the nearness which creates more emotions than standing far away and zooming in with a 100mm or even more.
Hey! That’s such a good way to put it. I noticed that towards the end of the week I was getting closer with a shorter lens and those photos are indeed better and more raw in the moment!! 😊
@inyourfayes that’s what I think I noticed in your video, too. You didn’t say that explicitly but I kind of felt you saw that, too. Long lenses always seduce to take candid shots, but they most of the time are nice on first sight, but cannot stand a close 35 mm shot of real non posed action. And yes it’s hard to get ppl not to pose when you‘re that close - but that’s the challenge here.
Great video Faye and one of my favourite photography genre's. It was interesting to see you use different lenses but pleased to see you ended on using the smaller primes. What was also great that you experimented with black and white which adds a whole new dimension and thinking when shooting street photography. I have a dedicated monochrome camera and a colour one. If you ever get the chance to shoot with a dedicated monochrome I highly recommend it not only for the image quality but also the challenge that it gives you. As for my tip when shooting street be bold, honest and open with the people you shoot and a good way to over come shyness and fears is to shoot portrait street photography where you go up to strangers and ask to take their picture, try it sometime. On a side note I am Dutch too but now live on Crete. Hope to see some more of your great street photography images soon.
Ahh amazing! Crete is such a beautiful place. A dedicated monochrome camera sound awesome. I’d love to give that a try sometime. Thanks for watching the video, really appreciate it 🙏🏼 Keep creating!
Leuk om jouw bevindingen te zien. Je maakt mooie straatfoto’s en leuk hoe je jouw proces ook laat zien. Ik doe zelf al heel wat jaren straatfotografie en ik vind het de leukste tak van sport. Mensen zijn zó leuk om candid te fotograferen. Als je weer eens in Nederland bent, dan loop ik graag een rondje met je door een stad 😉
One thing I love about street photography is I meet so many cool people! Used to be scared to death but when I changed the way I looked at it it all changed. I look at people as new future friends and I always want to get people in their best light! 🙂🙂🙂

Ahh thank you! I appreciate it 🙏🏼
The city has so much to offer…
Monochrome street photography is most likely my favourite, go to style whenever I am out and about with my camera - Love it.
I know right! You can really use the lighting in your advantage that way. And create a beautiful contrast in your photos 😍
To me the 2 most difficult disciplines are wildlife and street photography (not street portrat). Wildlife because how how much preparation you have to do and patience.

I think you have nailed the street photography. Your color outputs look so good.
Ahh thank you! Had lots of fun during that week 🙌
Melbourne is very photogenic, so many architecture styles, neons at night and trams.

I feel better now btw 😉😊
I REALLY love the shot of the dude at 21:43 ! Really nice editing, really nice light, and just the perfect amount of bokeh that doesn’t obscure the environment he is in but still separates him from the background.
Thank youu!! Happy to hear 😁
This is my first time I watched video to you and it was so cool
Ahh thank you! 😇
I’m new to photography but watching this video gave me alot of inspiration and more knowledge on how to shoot. Keep up the great work!!
Loved the stuff at the markets! You nailed those isolated moments, plus the way the sun was just beaming was 🔥. The guy on the drums and the dogs were really nice to.
Ahh thank you!! Markets are such an awesome spot to do street photography. Endless shots hahaha
Just found your "street" here and there are lots of beautiful things to see ! Greetz from Amsterdam 😉
Ahh thank you!! Amsterdam, place to be 😁
@@inyourfayes You're welcome 😉
Bonjour. Très belles photos. Tout à l'instinct... J'adore.
Merci!
great video! gotta love a good street sesh
Ahh thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
This is so cool! I love this vlog. Hope you do this more often...
Ahh thank you!! Will definitely do so 😁
Love the way you’ve brought us along with your journey. I always enjoy wandering around big cities doing similar, it’s never dull and always different.
Great work, thanks for sharing, looking forward to your next street experience
I know right! So much to see.
Happy you enjoyed the video 🙏🏼
Thank you for this video.
It is good going outside your comfort zone. This is how we grow. The more you shoot the more you see shots. You have to develop your senses to see and anticipate what is going to happen. You have to know what you like and want to capture.
A good example is juxtaposition. I didn’t know this existed until I started shooting on the street. Now I see it all the time. The same with reflections. Reflections for glass plates. I love to get very close to people and shoot reflections from their sunglasses. Puddle reflections shots are the best.
There are many ways to shoot street. A common method is to use a prime. Select a focal length. 28-35-50mm are the traditional choices. My aperture is between 5.6 and 8. As a result, I don’t choose a fast lens. In add, a slower lens will be smaller and lighter than your faster lens. I don’t spray and pray. That generates too many images for me. I also use a small and lightweight body. When I walk the streets I do that for hours at a time. My gear gets heavier over time. I want to be unintrusive in the environment. Take my image and move on unobserved. I don’t interact with my subjects.
I didn’t like many of your images. They seem like images randomly captured. I did like the image of the woman with the clear umbrella at 6:40. Did you look at classic street images? Your images don’t look like them.
I frequently shoot in B&W. I like that look. I also set the compensation to -1/3 to -2/3. An interesting thing to do is shoot B&W jpegs and also shoot raw so you get both color and B&W. The benefit is you se the images in the EVF or LCD in B&W. The world looks different in B&W. As you suggested, you see the light better in B&W.
Street photography is hard. Good insight to shoot 1st and ask questions later. The moment lasts for an instant and then is gone. Be open to what the street offers you. You can’t me it happen. I make images with intention. I’m only satisfied, barely, with 2-5% of my images. On the other hand, I enjoy myself 100% of the time I walk the street with my camera.
Did you find the man that gave you the flower sexist? He gave you the flower because you are a beautiful girl? How asked him to judge your looks? It appears to me, you are an adult. Thus you are a woman. I bet if I had that interaction with the florist I wouldn’t have been given the flower.

Hard to believe that you do not do street much. Some of the photos you got were just freaking incredible. Like I watch my fair share of street fotography conent on CZcams, so I can savely say that you are very good.
Edit: typo
That shutter speed at the end of day 2 sounds lovely
Very enjoyable video. Great POV, great images and nice production overall. Seems like older people make some great subjects in street photos.
Enjoying your street photography, keep up the good work. Thanks.
Thanks a lot!! 🙏🏼
Just found your channel and loved your energy!
Thank youu! So happy to hear 🙏🏼
Seriously, this has to be my personal favourite of your videos 😍
That shot of the couple both on their phones, really hit me hard, lots of emotion and that is exactly what street is, you did so good, oh and also that guy who gave you the Jonquil flower!
My tips for street photog are, the flip screen is your friend, i dont think i ever use the VF when im doing street, and if you find someone who you are photographing, and they make eye contact, just pan around as if you are taking a video, ans lastly, never make eye contact unless you want to show them your shot of them 😊
Love ya work Faye! 📸
Great storytelling and pics! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! So glad to hear 🙏🏼
Nice tossing in the B&W images!
Loved the video and the post processing mood. The black and white exercise is the basic one they teach in photography school. Sometimes I like doing it. A creative idea might be to use slow shutter speed to make the moving people like ghosts. Again, great work, carry on.
Wow beautiful moment👏
Like you say in other vids - we never have nothing to shoot. There's something about the city, the vibe. And if there aren't people about like when I shoot (early morn just after dawn), the architecture and vehicles tell constant stories.
This video popped up in my recommendations today. So glad it did! This was a fun and enjoyable video to watch while providing some great ideas for shooting street. BTW, when I first started watching the video I thought somehow the chess player channel I sometimes watch by Anna Cramling, became a photography channel. You two are so much alike! Thanks for a fun video. I will be subbing.....
Ahaha! That’s funny. Appreciate the kind words 🙏🏼
Thank you, finally a smaller channel with high production quality
I think you inspired me Faye. Love these photos, absolute fire! I have an older Canon EOS Rebel R5i (uses the older EF-S lens). And I just invested in a new-to-me, Canon 24-105mm f/4 & 50mm f/1.4 lenses. Going to try them both out at the beginning of September at a 50th wedding anniversary, followed by a trip to Japan for the first time! I'm so stoked!! And BTW, that florist in this video is right. You're a total babe. And I have been to the Netherlands as well, and they are beautiful people. I loved it there! I appreciated how the bicyclists have their own bike lanes and have right of way, and how convenient the public transportation is. Keep up the excellent work, and I hope you continue to inspire others! BTW, your orange hat is awesome!
Insanely cool photos, Faye.
Also absolutely so far from my own comfort zone, but these are ace.
Thank you!! So happy to hear 🙏🏼
Wow, your Chinatown and Asian market shots are so good, please do more of these walks !Ever consider traveling to Asia for the same purpose?
Thank you!! And yes I’d love to.
Especially Japan would be amazing. I’ve never been
I’m enjoying this video immensely. I love the moody rain shots. I would wanna try experimenting with rear shutter curtain slow speed blur as people are walking especially with the nighttime red lighting.
Thank you!! Happy to hear you enjoyed it 🙏🏼
Slow shutter is also a good idea. I’d love to try that on one of my next street phototherapy sessions!
Wow that 35 lens is a beast compared to the tiny Sony DT 35mm f/1.8 SAM I own. I'm sure there's a significant difference in quality between these two but I'll say the tiny size of the Sony is an asset during street photography.
Do you use the A mount lenses on Sony E bodies with LA-EA… adapters? If that’s the case, Sony FE has a native Sonnar 35mm F2.8 lens, it weighs the same as your DT lens. 😎
Those are fire. I can see a street photography photo battle coming soon between you and Mike 🔥🙃
Ahahaha! That would be fun hey ;)
@@inyourfayes hope someday we can see y’all go head to head in a street photography battle 🔥📸
3:06 that jacket goes HARD
Hi . This was capturing..Cheers from Norway!
Great video. Fun to watch a very different type of photography; I’m usually sports & wildlife.
Thanks for sharing.
Anytime!! 🙌
You are so great doing street photography. One of your video’s I enjoyed the most. Love the urban style edit. Hard contrast B/W, love it!
You are walking with massive and heavy equipment, you could try Fuji X100VI for 35 (40 MP good for cropping later) and 50 mm (digital zoom still 20 MP).
Get well soon, greetz from NL 🍀
Ahh thank you!! Happy to hear you enjoyed it 🙏🏼 Playing with black and white was fun, I’d love to try it during a portrait photoshoot as well. With harsch daylight ☀️
In the past i photographed street a lot. After this chapter i didn´t have a time for it and i really missed that. But last year i went back to it and vith analog classic cameras. I must say it is beautifull and if people react to normal camera, with classic camera is 100 times more. And this reactions and contact with people is amazing on street photography. Good job of you and i must say the photo of man with umbrella and coffe cup on your second day is georgeous!
I love my A7iii with Pentax 28mm F2.8 combo for street photography
You got soooo many awesome pics ! That moody rainy weather definitely adds a nice mystery to street Photography ! I love the commitment of doing that everyday for a week straight up. I am such a procrastinator lately , and your video really makes me wanna go out and shoot. Keep it up Fayeeeeee * Also that Black and white mode in street phot, is really helpful. It gives you a different kind of perspective..
Ahh I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for your support. It’s honestly so fun, even if you end up not editing the shots. The whole process of trying to get some goodies is a little challenge at it self 😊
That old man giving you those flowers was so wholesome!!!
I know right!! He made my day.
You just wanna give those people a hug haha
Faye I think you did exceptionally well and you should do more street photography videos. Love the vibes in your videos.
Ahh thank you! So happy to hear 🙏🏼
Admiring your skill📸, love it🫶🏻
Thank you!! 🙏🏼
Congrats on the new lens. 8:33 is my favourite. Btw, your idea about shooting in monochrome mode might be genius! It lets you focus on details and tones without the distraction of colour. And if you shoot raw, you still have a colour file to use in the end.
Thank you!! And exactly! Especially during day time when there’s harsch lighting. It contrasts so differently 👌
Great job getting out there and pushing your boundaries! I like how you switched to monochrome. That's my usual method, shoot in mono/raw to see the light, and then see how well the color benefits the shot. Obviously, there are times when I do shoot for color first and light second, but those aren't near as often.
Thank youu! Happy to hear you enjoyed it.
Yeah thought I’d switch it up, it’s a very different way of taking photos. And it’s handy you still keep the coloured raw files.
🙏🏼
You definitely got a better but I may be saying that because I'm a portrait guy and by Sunday, you were getting some nice portraits. Tip: Consider framing the portrait through objects closer to you to make the image even more interesting.
Nice POV and good to watch your journey. I thought the images from day one were great. But, you were defiantly more confident as the week went by, even with how you interacted with others. Really solid video.
Ahh thank you! Appreciate it 🙏🏼
Those black and white photos are so good. (All of them are good, but o really enjoyed the b/w.)
Loved the video. Street photography isn't easy at all, in fact, it's quite challenging.
I agree! Thanks for watching, it was a fun little challenge 🙏🏼
One of your best videos yet! 🔥 Lots of great images!
Thank you! Really appreciate it 🙏🏼
When doing street photography, I do the same with the camera low and looking through the LCD, I never look at my subjects in the eye, I shoot and move on.
Girl, are you freaking kidding?
One week of street photography and you’ve not done this before?
You are an absolute natural at street photography.
Amazing shots. You’ve got the eye.
Ahh thank you!! Appreciate it 🙏🏼
Such a good video! your photos turned out so good 🙌🏽
Ah thanks Connor! 😁🙏🏼
Nicely done for your 'first' time !!
Thank you! 😁🙏🏼
No advise from me 😂. Thank you for the inspiring video. Very well done. Fun to watch. Regards.
You are one talented lady. Keep the equipment compact and simple. This way you will react to situations much quicker and being much less conspicuous. There is a reason Leica rangefinders and those Fujis are popular with street guys.
Ahh thank you! Appreciate it 🙏🏼
I’ve noticed indeed with street photography. The smaller the camera the better. Especially in busy areas
@@inyourfayes I don't do much street photography, but when I do I'd take my EM5 MKII for digital but mainly as I shoot film, it is the smaller cameras that I have like my Leica IIIc, Leica M or even my Minox 35s. These will fit in the palm of your hands. Lets hope to see more of your ' street photography ' please? A couple of the photographs had hints of Hass and Leiter phorography. Brilliant.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. I enjoy street photography with my Nikon Z, 90% time using Tamron z fit 35-150 f/2-2.8.
Thank you!! Happy to hear 🙌
One of your best videos,for sure! 🔥 Loved it! It was really good and helpful, keep it up faye! 😊
Ahh thank you! So happy you enjoyed it 🙏🏼
When doing street photography, you can go for the more inconspicuous approach, but often times I find that embracing a more tourist or obvious look sometimes helps with people just ignoring you, in a counter intuitive way
Really cool vlog and some great photos. Question, when doing things like street photography are you mainly shooting in shutter priority to captor those in the moment movements?
My first video of yours and it was an instant subscribe for me!
Ahh thank you!! I really appreciate it 🙏🏼
Vette foto's! Knap gedaan. Inspireert mij om er eens met een langere lens op uit te gaan, de stad in.
Great photos, I love seeing Melbourne photographed. You captured my friends at the Vic Market, they're the guys at Spanish Donuts - Churros. The guy playing the congas is the owner and the other guy is his brother. Both him and I are into photography. I've sent them your video, I'm sure they'll be super happy they're in it
Ahh! What are the chances!
Thank you for watching the video 🙏🏼
Very nice video! My best advice when you do street photography (even more in documentary photography) is a quote by Robert Capa: “if your pictures aren‘t good enough, you‘re not close enough.“ Which does not mean zooming, but being close yourself. You see and feel the nearness which creates more emotions than standing far away and zooming in with a 100mm or even more.
Hey! That’s such a good way to put it.
I noticed that towards the end of the week I was getting closer with a shorter lens and those photos are indeed better and more raw in the moment!! 😊
@inyourfayes that’s what I think I noticed in your video, too. You didn’t say that explicitly but I kind of felt you saw that, too. Long lenses always seduce to take candid shots, but they most of the time are nice on first sight, but cannot stand a close 35 mm shot of real non posed action. And yes it’s hard to get ppl not to pose when you‘re that close - but that’s the challenge here.
Great video Faye and one of my favourite photography genre's. It was interesting to see you use different lenses but pleased to see you ended on using the smaller primes. What was also great that you experimented with black and white which adds a whole new dimension and thinking when shooting street photography. I have a dedicated monochrome camera and a colour one. If you ever get the chance to shoot with a dedicated monochrome I highly recommend it not only for the image quality but also the challenge that it gives you. As for my tip when shooting street be bold, honest and open with the people you shoot and a good way to over come shyness and fears is to shoot portrait street photography where you go up to strangers and ask to take their picture, try it sometime. On a side note I am Dutch too but now live on Crete. Hope to see some more of your great street photography images soon.
Ahh amazing! Crete is such a beautiful place.
A dedicated monochrome camera sound awesome. I’d love to give that a try sometime. Thanks for watching the video, really appreciate it 🙏🏼 Keep creating!
@@inyourfayes If you are ever on Crete you are welcome to try my monochrome
Nice work ❤
allways the best quality.!!! video top.
amazing photos.
Love you too James
Thanks for your good vibes
Leuk om jouw bevindingen te zien. Je maakt mooie straatfoto’s en leuk hoe je jouw proces ook laat zien. Ik doe zelf al heel wat jaren straatfotografie en ik vind het de leukste tak van sport. Mensen zijn zó leuk om candid te fotograferen. Als je weer eens in Nederland bent, dan loop ik graag een rondje met je door een stad 😉
Quickly becoming one of my favourite channels.
Yay! Thank you for that 🙏🏼
i love take photography best photo
