Asheville, especially downtown or the River Arts District on a weekend, is an absolute GOLD MINE compared to most small towns (10,000 or less)! 😆 It may not be a NYC, but with nearly 100,000 people its got a definite vibe. 🙂Great advice and outstanding photos! 👏

Very much agreed! I’m used to a bit of a bigger city so Asheville feels small, but it’s still such a great venue for street photography. Downtown is my favorite and I’ve spent many many hours walking up and down Lexington and Broadway/Biltmore Ave. I want to challenge myself and shoot in a truly small town one of these days too. I’d like to make a follow up to this video for sure! Thanks for watching!

Interesting video with some intriguing tips. All the best.

Great video and awesome tips. I mainly do street photography in Downtown LA and a good tip is to revisit areas you already walked at different times and different weather conditions. Keep shooting

Thanks for watching! I love LA! Never got the chance to shoot downtown, but I have photographed Venice and the SM pier. I’m planning on doing a follow up to this video, so I’ll include this tip in that one. Great advice!

Great video, totally agree with you here, don’t necessarily need people just a sign that people have been there, the “Human Element”

Ashville . . . 100,000 . . . is a SMALL town? No. I'm sorry.

It's just perspective. For me, especially at this point having lived in NYC (8M), Boston (5M), LA (5M), Mexico City (22M) etc. Asheville does feel really small. There are more factors than just headcount as well. There is no effective public transit, for example, which means fewer people out on the street. Unfortunately for street photographers, most of AVL's 100k are sprawled out in suburbs, not right downtown where they're able to walk to a gallery or restaurant. It's also small, area-wise too. It gets tedious to shoot the same few streets where people gravitate. That's what this video was about more than anything.

@@gunairy Understood. But with all due respect, most "small town" street photographers are doing towns of fewer than 15,000 people. You can't even imagine.

@@billmartin1010 I can understand that perspective too. Unfortunately, my frame of reference for 'smaller' cities and towns is limited to western NC where I lived for about 8 months in 2022/3. It would be an interesting challenge to try and do street photography in an even smaller town.
