hey guys how you doing back in London
again I can't get enough of the place at
the minute I was there two weeks ago and
it was so much fun but I didn't really
get to that chance to do much  in the
way of street photography so I thought I'd
come down again this week and it's
turned out absolutely belter of a day so
I'm really really chuffed drove from Wales
and it was throwing it down for a change
but coming to London and it's typical
every time I come down here I seem to
have blue skies really really warm yeah
so really really excited today it's
gonna be different a difficult one to
vlog um I've got a little little GoPro
on the top of the camera just gonna
have a go trying to film some of the
shots okay but yeah it's gonna be good
good fun I am there's another reason I'm
down here today is well I'm gonna meet
up with a young girl later on today
who's a singer doing modeling
shoot for her so yeah Ill catch up with
her a bit later on that two o'clock that
is so yeah but until then we're gonna
try and get some visit some of the
typical places you get some nice street
shots and perhaps trying to discover a
few new ones as well but it's really
exciting as far as settings go I'm just
going to be using the 35 mm lens which
is a 50mm equivalent just to try and get
me a bit closer typical street
photography lens is between 35 & 50
mm so I kind of prefer the 50 mm view
just get you a little bit close if you
ever needed to sort of always say it's
so object but yeah I've got the 35mm
equivalent with me as well yeah it's
getting really really really good fun
the things I'm looking for because it's
such a strong particular see when I've
put sunglasses on in a minute such a
strong contrast II lighting day I'm
going to be looking for some really
really nice shadows to sort of
photograph some nice shapes and
obviously yeah just catch people in the
moment sort of thing hopefully with a
little GoPro on the top of the camera
I'll be able to film a few of the shots
as well
and now ya be good day looking forward
to it so yeah what I'm not looking
forward in the shots are sort of like
signage really I don't really like
street photography when it's got brands
and stuff in the background so I'm
trying to and clutter so I'm trying to
keep the photographs relatively simple
without any branding and without
anything you know too messy in the
background pretty much as you would with
a landscape photo really just trying to
keep it nice and simple as as clean as
possible but you're just looking for
nice strong leading line
a nice clean contrast we're going to be
shooting mainly I think in black and
white I absolutely adore black and white
for street photography and I've set the
camera to shoot really really contrasty
as well so put us on the shadows plus on
the highlights gets a really really nice
contrasting shot so it'd be really
really cool
I will shoot in raw and JPEG so I can
change them into color as well as see if
I get some nice vibrant colors but yeah
and looking forward seeing these in
black and white anyway we're gonna head
to tate modern now I've never been
before but I see some amazing sort of
abstract Street photographs there so
that we're really really good place to
start just to say have been so it's like
because the light is really strong today
don't know where it is as far as
positioning and as far as the saw the
entranceway of the the gallery but we'll
have a lot of the lights in the right
place and we'll get some nice images
there fingers crossed anyway right I'm
gonna head off rousting I can't believe
it so everybody to hotfoot carrying this
big bag around that's for sure anyway
I've seen a minute
Wow just left a gallery now absolutely
flipping amazing and there didn't have
very long in a lot of time meeting the
old lady for a photo shoot in about 40
minutes and I was only in there for
about 20 bits off on our epic play so
many opportunities to get some good sort
of candid shots I quite enjoyed it and a
bit of a problem though the GoPro clip
kind of snapped off the top of the
camera don't want them to do about that
hopefully a good thing about GoPro stuff
we find it everywhere don't you so
fingers crossed all still managed to get
some footage so it's good yeah so I'm
gonna buy my way over to wherever he has
Manor is now no idea how to get there
but see it again in a second hopefully
we're to do a bit more where we will be
able to do a bit more street but the
street photography after after that
shoot
while that was awesome it also awesome
photo shoot we Yasmina it's just gone
now so I'm gonna do try and get back
into Camden Market then go back to the
street photography side of it really
good phone out of quick coffees been
it's been really good she did awesome on
the camera pressure the pictures so yeah
wonder man it's absolutely mental in
this huh
I don't think we have logo at all it's
absolutely crazy the amount of people
and their so I try and get the the GoPro
store won't stay on the top of the X go
to a talk is the little flipping things
snapped but that's annoying
so if I try and film it and take some
pictures in now the light keeps go
really harsh really sort of soft so I'm
looking for harsh contrast a light but
it comes and goes every five minutes so
it's a bit difficult but ya been good
phone and get back into it now anyway I
said it
this is actually really difficult but
not only because there's so many people
around it's difficult to get an isolated
photograph but also it seems that the
biggest issue mavin see some great shots
but if people aren't sort of doing
something or you know talking or they're
on their phone I just see for people
with phones in the hand the whole time
it's really difficult kind of ruins a
lot of photographs you see some really
nice compositions and nice opportunities
and then you realize it's a phone in the
hand let's drop mean it's a little bit
but it makes you realize how difficult
shrink photography is to get really
really good shots I suppose there's a
lot of waiting around so I'm going to
try a different environment now it's
mental in there don't actually know
where I think I'll head back down
towards the central London and yeah be
near somewhere for sunset as well
that'll be cool so we're gonna jump back
on the tube now and I've no idea where I
am
Camden it's all I know yeah just get
back to London
this is what I flip in love a violin
that I just going through the train
station that is called called
dude is just--dress that looked like
awesome I thought you'd make an awesome
photo shoot so I was actually asking him
directions but turns out ended up doing
a photo shoot with it as well so really
really cool
cheers very much to me and much
appreciate that pictures look awesome
but yeah he's give me give me directions
now we head back to Brick Lane I head
down to Brick Lane horse up bricklaying
a couple weeks ago with Andy and David
so I'm gonna try and get some more sheep
done down there I'm absolutely over the
place people are dressed quirky
everything's unique in full of character
everyone's friendly up I love London
really really find a great day
what an amazing day supposed to been a
day full of street photography but and
in a bit of street portraiture as well
met some amazing people London is full
of really really cool people really
interesting place I love it adore it
I've just come out of the walkie-talkie
tower that were top of the walkie
talkies how're the sky guard and they've
got a bar at the top which give amazing
panoramic views Erlinda and by the time
unfortunately by the time I got there
the Sun had gone down so I didn't really
get any nice light and it's clear blue
sky anyway so it's a bit of shame anyway
we got three and a half hour drive back
to South Wales now which one were you at
the 40
but hopefully I managed to document some
of the is my first attempt really it's
true photography so hopefully like it I
didn't go that bad
but it would have been nice if the GoPro
stayed on top of the camera that would
have made filming some of the shots a
lot easier but yeah anyway I hope you
enjoy the video and please like but if
you've got me a comment let me know what
you think of the year photographs in
there look forward to seeing you soon
thanks so much for watching take
