I am excited to share my new book: “Street Photography Contact Sheets Volume II<\/strong><\/em><\/a>” — a behind-the-scene looks to some of my best (recent) street photos.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n PDF (13 MB):<\/strong><\/p>\n iBooks Author (61MB):<\/strong><\/p>\n Dear friend,<\/p>\n I wanted to share this book for you, in order to show you how I got my best shots. I am a big believer of sharing information, sharing techniques, and your secret \u00e2\u20ac\u0153magic tricks.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n The most confident chefs are the ones who share their recipes, and aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worried about others copying or imitating them. I hope these contact sheets will help you gain some new ideas in street photography.<\/p>\n My biggest hope: share your own secrets with others. Make the best photos you can, but help empower other photographers.<\/p>\n Always,<\/p>\n Eric<\/p>\n Hanoi, 2016<\/i><\/p>\n When it comes to shooting street portraits, I like to direct my subjects. One of the best tips I have is to tell your subject, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Look at me, look up, look down, look left, and look right.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n In this photograph, I was walking around \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Federation Square\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in Melbourne during an event for the elderly. I saw this man with this incredible face, with these wrinkles that told a story. He also reminded me of the man from the Pixar movie: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Up.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n I shot this in \u00e2\u20ac\u0153macro\u00e2\u20ac\u009d mode with a Ricoh GR II digital camera, at 28mm (my camera was around 20 centimeters away from his face). I shot these photos in \u00e2\u20ac\u0153P\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (program) mode, with ISO 800, and the built-in flash. The settings ended up being f\/8 at around1\/4,000th of a second.<\/p>\n The first 4 photos are of him looking straight into the lens, but the last shot is when I asked him to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Look up.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d When you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re shooting street portraits, try to ask your subject to look up<\/b>.<\/p>\n Another street photography technique: when you see an interesting scene, keep taking photos of the scene, and wait until your subject notices you — then makes eye contact with you. Often when this happens, you elicit a reaction from your subject, which can be more interesting than just a normal candid street photograph.<\/p>\n For this scene, I saw a potentially good scene with the mannequin and the man. I started off shooting from a distance, and every time I clicked, I took a step closer. At around shot 5, I got the framing and composition I wanted. Shot 6 the man noticed me. Shot 7 he turned towards me. Then shot 8 he said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You should ask for permission before taking photos!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I clicked, and this is the best image.<\/p>\n When you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re shooting a photograph, you never know whether a vertical or a horizontal shot will work best.<\/p>\n My suggestion: whenever possible, try to shoot both. Work the scene, and turn the orientation of your camera, to try out different perspectives. The other perspective might not always work, but it will force you to be more creative with your framing.<\/p>\n One of the best ways to make a more interesting photograph is to ask your subject not<\/i> to smile.<\/p>\n In this photo, I was in a crowded bus in Istanbul. I loved the chaos, and brought up my camera to make a photo. The second I was about to shoot, everyone started to laugh (what a crazy tourist!)<\/p>\n I then told the man in the center, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153One photo, no smiling!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The second shot he restrained a bit, and by the last shot was totally serious.<\/p>\n One of the biggest misconceptions in street photography is that you just take 1-2 photos and get a good shot. I believe you need to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153work the scene\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, to increase your chances of getting a good shot.<\/p>\n The more times you swing the bat, the more likely you are to hit a home run. Or the more you kick the ball, the more likely you are to score. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t settle for just 1-2 photos, learn to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153work the scene\u00e2\u20ac\u009d from different angles.<\/p>\n Another practical lesson: if you stop someone in the streets for their photo, take photos while they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re talking. Often you can catch an interesting \u00e2\u20ac\u0153unguarded moment.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n For this photograph, I was teaching a workshop and my students and I met \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Marty\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in the streets, another SF-based street photographer. We started to chat with him, and took a bunch of photos while he was talking.<\/p>\n The second shot looks as if he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s afraid, or anxious. But in real life, he was sociable and fearless. The best street photos lie.<\/p>\n Another way to get more interesting photos: shoot from a lower perspective<\/b>. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re normally taking photos from eye-level, which gets boring, and repetitive.<\/p>\n For this photograph, I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to just shoot a standard portrait of this man in Tokyo. Rather, I was drawn to his military-styled boots. I had a random idea: I asked him, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Can you lift up your shoe?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I then took my camera, and shot from a very low angle (using the LCD screen), and took photos in macro mode (focusing on his shoe, and using the built-in flash of the camera).<\/p>\n This photo makes you feel like an ant; about to get squished.<\/p>\n I feel one of the most effective ways to shoot street photography is to start with an interesting background, and wait until the right people enter the scene.<\/p>\n For example, I saw this juxtaposition between a building poster and the construction worker on the right. I first took a series of images to contrast these two subjects.<\/p>\n After I shot photograph #6, I saw a man in the suit enter the frame, with a cigarette in his mouth. I then got close to him, and took two photos. Before I shot the second photo, he noticed me, and turned around. I had no idea that would have happened, but I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m glad that I first found an interesting background, and allowed serendipity to happen.<\/p>\n When we start photography, we are always taught to photograph what is closest to us. My suggestion, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t focus on what is closest to you. Rather, focus on what is furthest away from you — in the background<\/b>. This creates more depth and mystery to your photograph.<\/p>\n For this photo, I saw an interesting background (poster with a man with intense eyes). I waited, and stopped a passer-by, to stand in front of the poster. He complied, and I took a series of photos (some with flash and some without). Shot #3 ended up being the best, as I love the focus being on the eye in the background. This wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t work if I was focused on the foreground.<\/p>\n To create contact sheets, I first open up the images in Lightroom.<\/p>\n Then you can select all the images (Command+A) and then press \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Print\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in the top-right corner of Lightroom.<\/p>\n In the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Print\u00e2\u20ac\u009d screen, make sure you have \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Single Image \/ Contact Sheet\u00e2\u20ac\u009d selected in the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Layout Style\u00e2\u20ac\u009d dialogue in the top-right corner.<\/p>\n Under \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Image Settings\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, make sure to have \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Zoom to Fill\u00e2\u20ac\u009d checked.<\/p>\n Then under \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Page Grid\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, you can adjust the number of images in \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Rows\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Columns\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (you just adjust this to have all the images appear on one page).<\/p>\n Scroll down on the right column, and make sure under \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Print Job\u00e2\u20ac\u009d that you have \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Print to\u00e2\u20ac\u009d set to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153JPEG File<\/b>.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Then click on \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Print to file\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and save the contact sheet as a JPEG.<\/p>\n Once you finish this step, you can open up the JPEG file and use an image-editing software (like Photoshop) to add the little red boxes to your contact sheet.<\/p>\n In Photoshop, I use the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Rectangular Marquee Tool\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (hotkey M), circle the image I like, and then right-click (Control+click with Mac). Then I select \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Stroke\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and use a width of around 3px to highlight the images.<\/p>\n Another free tool you can use to make screenshots is to use \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Jing<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (a free screenshot app that you can make rectangular red boxes very easily).<\/p>\n Here are further resources on contact sheets:<\/p>\n Never stop learning:<\/p>\nDownload<\/h2>\n
