Recently, I’ve been looking around for videos of photographers on the net and I found this video of Joel Meyerowitz explaining how he goes about doing street photography. Meyerowitz, dressed like a cat burglar, black cap and all, black Leica in hand, weaves around pedestrians on a Manhattan sidewalk, clicking away. His snaps are then woven into the video, showing the results of his style of street photography. It’s sounds kind of funny, him talking about what he does to make himself ‘invisible’ so that he can go right up to people and photograph them without being noticed. But he’s right. You need to be at ease with yourself if you intend to photograph people on the streets. Otherwise, you’ll just make others uncomfortable. Video Link. Joel Meyerowitz’s site.
