How to be more creative! Street photography with Matt Hall in London - Thinking outside the box.

How to be more creative! Street photography with Matt Hall in London - Thinking outside the box.
F/8 Issue 4: bit.ly/3Ilk1wc
In this street photography adventure, we head to London to meet the incredibly talented Matt Hall (@the13thsecond)

Matt is a huge inspiration to me, he sees street photography very differently from most. Utilising textures and layers to create very fine art and graphical images out of everyday locations. No matter what the location, using Matt's approach to street photography always yields very unique results.
I hope you enjoy this street photography video! I was using my new Leica Q2 as well as my Fujifilm XT5 and XF56mm lens to align with how Matt typically shoots.

    Gareth, you are right about Matt: I spent a day at one of his workshops in Cambridge and it was inspirational to see the world through his eyes. He has such a superb, unique eye for seeing what others miss. One other thing worth mentioning is that he charges a fraction of what many other photographers do for a workshop.

    Favourite episode Gareth. You both made some great images, but Matt's approach is a revelation. I always look at his work and think, "How the hell did he do that?" His attention to the detail/components in his framing is jaw dropping. Great job Gareth!

    Hi Gareth I have just started following Matt on IG I love his style. I also love to shoot Street at a similar focal length and use the stunning Viltrox 75mm f1.2 obviously it's not a stealth lens 😅 The red bus image of his reminded me of Saul Leiter's work, one of my favourite Street photographers. Putting Matt aside I also loved the images that you captured especially the 'Lowrey' image
