Street Photography: Masters and Inspiration

Brian Lloyd Duckett works through the thirteen-point notebook manifesto that Tony Ray-Jones wrote for himself in the late 1960s, from be more aggressive and talk to people to think more about composition and don't take boring pictures, interpreting each note for street photographers alongside Ray-Jones' images of English customs.

Ribsy draws four lessons from Fan Ho's 1950s Hong Kong photographs: shoot in harsh late-afternoon sun raking through doorways and stairwells at about 45 degrees, chase the shadows it casts and wait for a figure to complete them, look for repeating lines and patterns, and treat composition as artistry.

Kenneth Hines Jr, a Zeiss ambassador, presents a B&H webinar setting technique aside to discuss how emotion shapes street photography, gear and subjects. Showing unpublished images, from a Times Square corner on a 25mm to frames shot mid-stride on a Sony a9, he explains pre-visualising pictures and choosing subjects.
