You Tube street photography videos are a seemingly endless re-hash of holding a camera above head height with one hand while striding along, randomly snapping the backs of people and talking as though it's some form of clever 'art'. Your video piece torpedoes that nonsense and puts pre-visualisation, anticipation, patience and composition at the heart of memorable and engaging street photography. It's 'intelligent' photography and your projects reflect coherent, top quality imaging. With succinct, no 'flab' commentary and defined tasks it's the best street guide out there. Top stuff.

There's different styles and techniques to street photography which can peacefully co-exist. Some people can find that they prefer the one-handed approach. The most important thing for me is to consider both and to try understand the appeal of both.

JAC hit the nail on the head. And then they go on and on about their gear for something you can take with a coolpix camera that takes double A’s

A lot of street photographers on KZread are just out there for social media content popularity, not real photography. Which is why all their crap looks the same, unfortunately

I've been a photographer for 50 years and street photography is my favorite. I've used a lot of these techniques along the way, instinctively, and it is wonderful to hear an explanation and a description of what goes into taking the photos. I would never be able to put it into words the way this gentleman has.

Me too Sara Piazza. Now i know what i did ,do ,will. Thanks to Nick Turpin to be so good teacher !and to the channel to light him..

This is one of the most helpful and clearly presented videos about street photography I've watched. Thank you!

One of the best street photography teachers in the world right now. Thank you very much for this.

The best video on street photography that I've ever seen! 10/10

When I was studying photography in college, every class always mentioned, in passing, how the best documentary photographers pick a spot and wait, but then wouldn't ever mention it again, and you go through each class forgetting. It's nice to have almost 30 minutes of thorough encouragement to sit still and an example of waiting in one spot.

Great tutorial. What struck me most about the bus photo was not only the matching colour phone, but the way you aligned the side of the blue roof perfectly with the edge of the white building. Good timing!

This was SO GREAT. Love that you showed us your focus on patience in order to capture the right moment. I learned a lot!!

Thank you Nick for this lesson. I have been doing street photography for some years, then moved to the countryside and stopped. This demonstration made me want to go shoot again.

One of the most generous and inspiring clips on street photography. Thank you.

A lovely primer on the genre of Street Photography. Well done Nick!

What a great masterclass, Nick! You really strip it down to very simple, basic elements which produce a narrative greater than the sum parts. You have a new convert.

You are so inspirational Nick! Thank you for your generous sharing of your skills.

For me, the most useful takeaway here was to pick a small area to work in. Im guilty of just walking aimlessly in any direction. Which can yield some nice results. But I think your suggestion is something I'm going to try next.

Excellent advice and tips to improve our street photography. Staying in one place to wait for the perfect moment is new for me and will definitely be tried next time I go out to take pictures. Great video Nick, this is really a masterclass in street photography.

A real masterclass. Thank you so much 🙏😊

A fantastic video. I leant so much! Such a change to watch a video made by a photographer who actually knows what he’s talking about and, shares his knowledge without being patronising. My many thanks Nick!

Sorry to be so late to the party! Put simply, this is the best introduction to street photography video on KZread. Don't know why it's taken me so long to come across it but I'll be following Nick Turpin closely from now on....not in a stalky way :) Excellent work Nick.

One of the best videos on Street Photography !!

A great Video ! Not often that a fine street photographer actually takes you out to the street and shows just what he/she does and talks about just what they see and try to do. Very informative ! Thanks much.

Most definitely worth a first, second, third and a few more views... Very much appreciated. Cheers, Nick!

Nick this video is fantastic, I’m a complete noob to street photography and you’ve broken down the basic techniques so well. Thank you so much.

Thank you for this masterclss and great inspirations for pictures. I am waiting for more. Great job, sir.

Loved that! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, Nick!

I truly enjoyed this video and learned a lot. It's always interesting to see professionals take us along on shoots. I will try the "assignments." Good practice. Thank you so much.

Thank you for your teachings and congratulations !!

Thank you for a superb video. I especially like your 3 tasks at the end. I have my own particular approach to street photography, and welcome different approaches and interpretations.

Outstanding video, Nick! Great introduction to a set of principles that surely will train your eye and your brain to capture that "decisive moment" and frame that shot

Thanks so much for putting this thoughtful video together. Cheers.

Love the clarity of your tutorial 😊

Wow. This is exactly what I want to see. Always loved your pics Nick and seeing this video just made my day

Really enjoyed your video, some useful ideas really like the way you stay in one place and hold the camera up ready for the shot as i always feel awkward taking photos of people going to try this. Thank you

To show a picture and explain it took three days or sixty tries is a better explanation of interesting street photography than all the hyper active nonsense I’ve seen on other videos. Thank you

Very well done! I particularly liked the well thought and articulated what and why for photography and street photography at the intro. Thanks for sharing 🙏🍷

This really is a masterclass I feel I need to go out and practice what I have just learned. Thank You

Thanks for sharing Nick❤. Just what I was looking for

This is great. Thanks for making this

I have always struggled living in a town where you never think you can get the pictures you do in a big city. Watching this has set my mind running of where I can go to take pictures now. Best tutorial I have seen on street photography. Excellent.

You can take good photographers anywhere. The issue is when you look too much at other people’s works you get Tilted from your vision. That’s the bad part about social media and photography.

Was out shooting all day in these exact same spots today with my wife. Wish I had watched this video first though. Inspired to go back out tomorrow with these tips. Thank you :)

Great video Nick. Thanks for the inspiration

What a great video. So many wonderful tips for an introduction into street photography. It's also so useful for photography in general. Well done. I want to get out there and put them into action. Thank you so much.

Thank you Nick great info.

This video is so good. One of the best in YT.

This content is "Gold."

Really brilliant concept/idea about cars with the ads reflected - love it :) Lovely masterclass!

Wow, such an amazing masterclass! Thank you 🙏🏾 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾!!! @21:10 is an incredible shot

Thank you for this great content. It was the most helpful for learning street photography; something I've long been waiting to do!

Many thanks. Clear, concise, and constructive video. I'm inspired to do more street photography - which I love.

By far…. This is the best video on street photography.

Thanks for this video Nick! Very informative and useful information.

Excellent tutorial. Learnt a lot. Thank you Sir

Thank you Nick, you made 30 minutes seem like 10 and at the end I was sad that it had ended . . . . .always a good sign, your teaching methods are as good as your street photography and I now can't wait to get into my local city (Exeter) to apply your tips.

A great lesson in street photography.

Such a tough genre. The lady w/phone and green bus... nice. The construction worker within the geometry and colors... nice. You mentioned the secret sauce. Patience, time invested, and sometimes luck. Thank you for the input.

Fantastic education here. Thank you

One of the best videos on street photography I've seen. Just became a subscriber.

This has to be the Most Informative & Entertaining Video on Street Photography that I have found on KZread.! I have searched and seen many other Videos on Street Photography, but Non that can Better this Video.! This Video is exactly what I have been looking for on KZread.! Other Videos are too Short and are more about the Photographer themselves and Advertising their Work.! More than Explaining to the Street Photography Viewer who is Wishing to Start or Improve on their Street Photography.! Please keep making more Videos like this on Street Photography.! I really enjoyed and appreciated your Video.! As I am sure many other potential and current Street Photographer's will as well.! There is so much more to Street Photography than meets the eye.! And this Video will help enormously.! Take Care and Stay Safe.! 😁📸

great street photography examples I am impressed

Well done. Enjoyed it very much !!!

This video is too good... respect ✊

... vision over equipment... Perfect. Subbed!

man those pictures are just crazy. your composition is so complex. one with the worker,colors and black lines on the wall (one matching on the ground as well) just amazing. 4 5 layers into the shoot. the "look" picture genius. best thing you realize is when you walk you are usually blind when you walk with your camera you open your eyes. when you click first time into connecting what you see dots concepts colors meaning into one shoot feels good. but this is another level!! i walked many hours in London myself last year..1 2 layers fine but 4 5 is next level up! haha

great video, thanks for taking the time to share your skill.

As a beginner who has watched many videos on this platform that was by far the most interesting street photography explanation and thought process I have seen EXCELLENT

Very nice video explaining what your looking for as you go and also showing the end product of your work. Thank you very much. Very pleasant experience.

Brilliant presentation. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the great advice!!!😊

Thorough, straight forward, excellent, Thank you.

great work ! check out Ted Forbes if you haven’t already

The seemingly simple idea of staking out a great location and waiting for what we all have come to call the decisive moment - it's brilliant and it works. I've been doing it for years instinctively, in part because it usually takes me a while to warm up to a spot and find its unique signature or ideal angles, but now I'm doing it consciously with the intent to frame and wait for pedestrian traffic, interesting juxtapositions, etc. Only downside here is that people do see you and they're aware someone might be shooting the space, often leading to hands in front of faces or silly walks out of my perceived frame. Using tilt screen on a7c does help, but it's always a balance between infringing on people's space and striving for artistic achievement.

Thank you very much!

brilliant philosophy of photography. thank you for sharing brother

“What a camera does best which is to freeze a moment of reality to hold and inspect for days, weeks, years and decades to come” “What is street photography? Simply, it’s candid photography in a public realm. It’s un-stage and it’s un-manipulated. It’s observational photography.” Great! A tutorial video that I’ll gonna be watching over and over again! This is gold! Thank you so much for this. Been looking for more learning stuffs for me to absorb. I’m using smartphone as my camera.

Indeed inspiring and compelling.. ❤️

Thank you for the very accessible video!

Nice vision Nick!

Nice one man. Some solid tips there, really inspirational!

Great video. Priceless info.

great work !! very reminiscent of the work Saul leiter’s work in the 50’s

Very nice photos and interesting story. Thank you!

Excellent. Thank you.

Loff Fonseca, Lisbon. I enjoyed a lot making street photos in London. Marvelous town and friendly people.
