How and why I shoot STREET PHOTOGRAPHY from the hip

Video Description

It's a street photography technique which is admired and frowned upon at the same time. Unobtrusive, fast, but never random. Shooting from the hip is the main way I shoot on the street, and this video I'm going to show you why and how I shoot this way. All of the black & white images in the video were edited with our SilverChrome profiles and presets for Lightroom: https://jeffascough.com/silverchrome ********** 2024 WORKSHOP INFORMATION https://jeffascough.com/street-photo-workshops 1-2-1 TUITION & MENTORING https://jeffascough.com/online-photography-tuition ********** Music https://share.epidemicsound.com/253ktl ********** 2024 WORKSHOP INFORMATION https://jeffascough.com/street-photo-workshops 1-2-1 TUITION & MENTORING https://jeffascough.com/online-photography-tuition ********** Gear used in the making of this video with our Amazon Affiliate links: Sony ZV-1: https://amzn.to/4bRcEKO Smallrig grip for Sony ZV-1: https://amzn.to/4ccOb31 Leica M Monochrom Leica M9-P Leica M6TTL Titanium Leica 28mm Elmarit-M ASPH Leica 28mm Summicron-m ASPH Leica 35mm Summilux-M ASPH Domke Gripper Strap: https://amzn.to/3RqRCcH Domke F3X Camera Bag: https://amzn.to/46UjbRb National Geographic 'Africa' Backpack: https://amzn.to/48TLqRj Adobe LightRoom Classic Apple Final Cut Pro BenQ SW271C Monitor: https://amzn.to/3Tk7kc9 Elgato StreamDeck: https://amzn.to/4amYtwa Logitech MX Keys Mini Keyboard: https://amzn.to/3Rp6yYB Logitech MX Master Mouse: https://amzn.to/48Cmf5m Shure SM7B Microphone: https://amzn.to/41uo42n Cloudlifter: https://amzn.to/41mWKD4 Focusrite Scarlett 2i2: https://amzn.to/4acVRRA WBC XLR cables: https://amzn.to/3NumTu1 ********* Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:50 Great street photographers 02:09 Why shoot from the hip? 04:06 How I shoot from the hip 05:06 The downside 05:24 Lenses 05:51 Zone focusing 06:13 Autofocus issues 06:33 Shutter speed 07:23 Judging distances 08:09 One lens 08:47 Final thoughts 09:51 Outro
