MY LIFE IN MY PICTURES :: A PHOTOGRAPHY BLOG

I really like this documentary about street photography. I get inspired every time I watch this. But be careful, this videos make you want to buy a Leica. I think a M6, MP or the new digital M9 is the best tool for this kind of photography. Im not a professional photographer and I don´t know much about flash and light installations, so for me one the biggest challenge is to learn which setting I need for the current light situation. You really have to know your camera. These guys in the video know how light works and they know how it looks later on film (or file). But there is more than that. There is a feeling for the right moment, an instinct to know what´s happening next or the chance that something could happen. They combine shapes and things or words and situations. I like this kind of documenting the real life on the street. It makes you look deeper into the chaos and it makes you finding or seeing moments that normally  nobody would notice.

In this video you’ll see the work of the photographers Chris Weeks, Severin Koller, Frank Jackson and Mario Anzuoni, all with different perspectives for shooting street photography.
