Fine Art Street Photography PERFECT FIRST LESSON
Fine Art Street Photography PERFECT FIRST LESSON
In this video, I learn to photograph Fine Art Street Photography.
Last week, I teamed up with Gareth Danks a Fine Art Street Photographer and headed to London. My objective was to learn how to create Street Photography images in a Fine Art Style!
I have a deep passion for Street Photography. I also love creating Fine Art Landscape Images. Because I love both, I thought it was about time I tried to combine both passions so that’s where Gareth comes in.
Gareth is a Photographer by profession and he’s a highly admired Fine Art Street Photographer too! So, if ever I was going to learn a new style then there’s no better teacher out there!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Gareth for his time and patience… especially the latter 🙂

If you want to see what I consider the best of such a style then go look at images by Fan Ho.
You Tube is getting BRUTAL with their ads. Now being forced to watch Ads over a minute long! I just skip the video.
Thanks!! Very interesting!
Rule 1. Make sure your human subject is at least 50 yards away.
2. Preferably with their back turned.
3. Underexpose by 4 stops.
4. Overcast or rainy conditions.
5. Jack up the contrast in post so there are no details in the shadows and highlights.
6. When asked why you created such an ugly and depressing image, tell them that it is your aesthetic preference.
my favorite photographer is Daido Moriyama and my photography is quite spontaneous like his aswell. So this doesnt really speak to me, but interesting nonetheless
Very interesting video. Loved the patience he showed while waiting for the composition he wanted. Maybe you mentioned it and I missed it, but what lens was Gareth using?
As a newbe street photograper, this did me very well.
This was terrific – so great to see the thinking and process behind the shots 🙏🙏🙏😎
All you need to do to get great street images – you need to buy a Fuji camera. 95% job is done lol. Kidding. Great video guys!
What a fantastic video! Gareth has mad skills! Thank you and him for sharing this insight into quality street photography.
Thank for tips & what location of crosswalk?
WOW ! That was a really GREAT video.
As a more candid street photographer, it brings me to a better motivation and to a higher level. THANKS a lot.
i started 1975..no computer’s not a lot of inspiration to research..you became your own person with a camera..
Thanks for posting this…you guys are awesome!
I loved this video and found it so inspiring.
Amazing! Next time you come to states, like New York, could you hold a class like this? I would love to attend.
Are all street photographers based in London and Tokyo?
Inspiring and educational, wow
I do not understand the concept of Fine Art, there is photography, and images that tell a story, I would not know the difference between classic and fine art, to me it is if the photographer has an eye for the image or not.
Interesting video … great lesson to learn the components and concepts, but these are hugely over shot locations. In fact if you go to them in the summer, you will trip over a ‘zillion’ workshops working the same scenes. Garth is of course well experienced photographer and his work is excellent … would love to see a ‘fine art’ lesson in flat dull light – nice video tnx … 😊 📷
Minimalist, negative space, silhouette "street photographers", name a more basic Instagram photographer 😂😂
What a great video. Learnt a lot today and want to go out taking pictures in my small hometown. Learn how to see and find locations and "Work the scene". Thanks a lot.
Brilliant video guys. So inspiring. Cheers for that.
what an amazing experience to be in; imagine walking around with these two legends
I would like to see Danks portfolio……he is talented
I usually shoot with b/w film, which makes each frame more precious. It makes me work that bit harder, with a slow considered approach. It’s not for everyone, but I get a great deal of satisfaction when everything comes together in the darkroom.
Great video. I loved this. About to buy a new camera.
Your video clearly demonstrates how to take fine art photos in details. Thank you
How does a guy like Gareth make money? People buy prints of shots like this?
Great video, one of my favourite ever on street photography. Learning to see is key
I am so glad this video popped up in my feed. I enjoyed this and learned. I loved it when you handed over the video camera so we could see exactly what he was seeing. That perspective was amazing. I loved how you lit up when you captured that shot you were working for. That is the beauty of art, we can always learn and grow. I found myself feeling burnt out with work lately even after changing things up in my work so I took the advice that has worked before. Pop on a lens I hadn’t used in awhile, in my case it was a macro and get outside and try something new. I enjoyed pushing myself to use it in non-traditional way even and took advantage of what a macro lens was created to do. It felt like it did when I first began learning photography.
Great video both of you are inspiring and I’ve learnt a lot thanks
The use of the term "fine art" in street photography is merely a marketing tool signifying nothing.
5:37 when he said tye tree kind of ruins it i nearly spat my drink.
A bit late to the show, but I really enjoyed this, and this is something I’d very much like to try. Gary what lens were you using please?
Why do you call it “fine art” what makes it fine as opposed to just art?
Awesome. Thank you, sir.
I’ve been waiting for someone to tell me that good street photography is, in fact, fine art and people will buy those images. I was getting worried that to make any money at this I’d have to go shoot weddings and just do my real art as a permanent hobby. Thanks!
Fantastic video! I loved the way this was presented and I learned a few things…Thank you!
What if the person you are adding without knowing it doesn’t want to be part of your picture?
Interesting, using X100V what did you use for film simulations? Also was his pictures SOOC or post edited?
excellent video really enjoyed this lot to think about but really good thanks guys…….
Shows how important a flippy screen is. Nice video Gary.
This is a fantastic video. It all depends on how you see it. Thank you so much gentlemen
The heck is “fine art street photography”? Lol
What an inspiration, can’t wait to explore this 😍 thank you so much!
To me the essence of photography and specifically a fine art photograph is to live in the moment that a photo has been taken in. Handheld street photography is too fast and too random for one to live that moment before the decision is taken to take a photo; no matter what the framing or lighting is. It’s a guessing games less about the photographer’s intent and more about getting lucky. Perhaps I don’t get it. Perhaps I am too used to using a tripod that slows one down quite drastically and forces you to be more deliberate and precise. That said the photos from this video are good and do catch some unique moments.
Just found and watched this…well done!
24:07 – That’s a HUGE life lesson!
Amazing video, not boring at all, I can’t wait for part II.
