My name is Ishay "Jesse" Lindenberg. I was born in Israel. My father is a psychologist, and my mom is a consultant. When I was a child, my dad had an old Zorki camera and a darkroom. My sister Yaara (r.
"There is no better feeling in the world than having that happen," explains Matthew Jordan Smith when talking about how impressed a client was with his work. He adds, "when my client received the images, he liked them so much he told me he couldn't decide which image was his favorite!" Smith found himself in a very privileged position.
"I think my Monuments series is the most successful and impactful project I have done so far," says Benoit Lapray. He adds, "It's the one that gives me the greatest sense of pride. " Lapray's unique series is a large scale project.
Gear isn't everything, but having the right camera for a certain situation can definitely help. This is especially true when it comes to street photography. When you're out on the streets, you need to be able to rattle off images quickly and sometimes discreetly.
All humans face adversity in life. But some people go through times so difficult that it leaves them living with trauma and PTSD. It’s a long path to healing for these people, and they have to find ways to survive and then overcome the experience they had.
Photography submissions come in thick and fast here at The Phoblographer. Each week we're overwhelmed with photographers stating their case for why the world needs to see their work. Thankfully we love what we do, so spending time with new photographs isn't a problem for us.
There's nothing wrong with the way the traditional Leica camera worked. If anything, the Leica M series makes the photographer be more hyperaware of what's around them. But let's be honest, autofocus is very useful.
The Olympus Pen F will go down as one of the best compact Mirrorless cameras of all time. It's gorgeous retro design, the capable 20-megapixel sensor, and the way it rendered black and white images made it a stand out performer.
Pancake lenses have a special place in the hearts of many street photographers and documentarians. They get their name from their small, thin form factor and their weight (or lack of it). With a pancake lens attached, photographers can pick up a camera and walk around with them almost like they're a point and shoot.
When I first used the Leica Q2, I was disappointed by the autofocus performance and a few other quirks. But that all improved over time--for the most part at least. And with the new Leica Q2 Monochrome, Leica hs created truly the most liberating camera on the market.
Phil Penman is a seasoned street photographer. His works dare to cross the line between fine art and raw, candid imagery. Like most photographers, 2020 has been a difficult year for Penman. Restricted by quarantines, it has been a challenge working in his usual workflow.
I believe that a photographer should have the right to create images freely in a public space. For almost a decade, I’ve argued with non-street photographers about whether or not the art form should be allowed.
"For example, a well-placed light pole that creates an interesting shadow can be really valuable," explains street photographer Jonathan Bernheimer. "And I don’t think there is any harm to include the light pole in the photo.
Being a participant of the Carnival in the street blocks for over 20 years, I created a project called Humanos do Carnaval (Humans of Carnival), and for 5 years, I have been taking portraits.
It's hard to not be a fan of navy and brown leather. They work so well together. And the Billingham Hadley One is getting just that color scheme today. I haven't seen it done this well in years, and this one is exceptional.
Photography, although fun, can be a frustrating practice at times. Not only because of the technical aspect but also all the extra baggage that comes with it - like dealing with non-photographers. Here at The Phoblographer, with our combined decades of experience, we’ve heard some ludicrous things in our time.
Street photography is an incredibly popular and powerful genre of photography. Many think that street photography is just about up close and personal candid portraits. However, it's so much more than that.
Several allegations have been made against street and portrait photographer Joe Aguirre. While rumors have circled for several years relating to Aguirre, they’ve finally come to fruition after brave women came forward to speak out about their experience.
Much of the coverage already online around the Sony a7s III has been in use for video. Naturally, we're a photography first website--and the photographers I've known who've used the predecessors to the Sony a7s III mostly did street photography, documentary work, and ambient light portraiture with neon colors.
Earlier this year I wrote an article that covered my journey through depression. Street photography played a major role, possibly the most significant, in helping me come out of the darkness. The article was published on March 7th, three days after I arrived in Medellin, Colombia.
I've previously written about the importance of street photography during these unprecedented times. Having visual documentation of how communities, governments, and countries have responded to the pandemic will serve us well in our search for understanding and education.
We all know the stereotype — a middle-aged man with a big camera and long lens, photographing people passing by. He must be a creep, a child snatcher, a voyeur with ill intention. I feel confident in saying that, most of the time, the labeling is unfair, and most people have good ethics and only want to capture candid moments.
I've found that the ideal time to use the Cosyspeed STREETOMATIC+ Black is in the winter. My reasoning for this is because it's designed to not hold a whole lot of stuff. So just in case you really need to bring a ton of gear with you, what do you do? Well, you can use the Cosyspeed STREETOMATIC+ Black and wear a thick jacket that has pockets.
2020 is proving to be an intense and crucial year. But we all need to step away at times, put down our shield and take a moment to smile, and dare we say, laugh. To lighten the mood and bring some humor to your day, we've gone through a bunch of memes and found several that are sure to make your belly hurt from laughter!
London based street and documentary photographer, Christian Cross, attended London's anti-protest on June 13th. Several groups of far-right protesters were fighting against the removal of several statues around the UK.
Fujifilm shooters are spoiled for choice when it comes to great prime lenses, even more so when it comes to affordable Fujifilm primes lenses. Perhaps the question we get asked the most, though, is 'which lens should I buy between the Fujifilm 23mm f2 and the Fujifilm 35mm f?' These lenses may seem to be quite similar, but they are both suited to slightly different genres of photography.
Popular street photography account, Life Is Street, came under fire on the day of Black Out Tuesday. The owner of the account uses white squares as part of the aesthetic on the feed. It so happened that on Black Out Tuesday, he posted a white square, causing an angry response from many of his followers.
There's a pretty big issue these days involving documentary-style photography, and it stems from the street photography community. I've seen it in several different protests. Maybe that's where I should start.
I'd always encourage photographers to opt for a prime lens when shooting street photography. They're often sharper, smaller, and more fun to use. A 35mm and a 50mm are popular choices for both new and seasoned street photographers.

Let’s take a look at how street photography can remain fresh and relevant in the future. I’ve been consuming a lot of street photography of late. Partly because that’s my job, and also because I’m stuck at home.
When you're brand new to street photography, there's a lot of toxicity out there that doesn't really help to create better street photographers. A whole lot of it is around pleasing the Instagram algorithm or learning from the classic masters.
Tired, cliche, easy: these are just some of the words used to describe street photography. Those who practice candid shooting are often labeled as voyeurs, loners, and creeps. I believe no other community in the industry has to defend itself as much as the one of street photography.

Street photography doesn't exist unless you have streets full of people. Right now, those streets are empty, as all of us remain indoors during the current epidemic. If you practice street photography, there's a good chance you're feeling a little sorry for yourself right now.
The people and history behind the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant are deeply intertwined with Hip-Hop and African American culture. This rich tapestry kept Zurich-based photographer Jens Krauer coming back time and time again.
Sometimes I wonder if photographers genuinely just don't know the differences between one genre or another--but most of the time I believe that folks try to penetrate any hashtag that they possibly can in an attempt to get the most traction on Instagram.
Street photography is all fun and games, well, until someone decides to get angry. Because, while for the most part, people won't blink an eye, sometimes you'll catch someone who is ready to air some aggression.
In modern times, street photographers get excited about cameras like the Ricoh GR III and the Fujifilm X100V. But since the practice of street photography began, there have been some absolute gems in the hands of photographers.

I have always admired photographers who can effortlessly hit the streets and capture the world around them. Even though I consider myself an outgoing guy, street photography has always induced feelings of fear.
In our hyper-connected society, we never have been that lonely. No matter the crowd or the networks, the more we evolve into high-density cities the more we are isolated.

o you ever wonder what a conversation between the current you and the old you would sound like? As we grow old, many of us lose touch with our former selves. Spain-born and Norway-based artist Pau Buscato, however, cherishes the relationship with his inner kid, and hopes to never let go of it.

Photographer Alexander Petrosyan has spent years and years discovering and documenting infinite layers of St. Petersburg. His wide collection - not only beautiful, but also grotesque - invites outsiders to step inside the raw and unpredictable streets and experience them without a filter, common for polished postcards or travel documentaries.
Street Photography isn't simple and instead is something that requires a number of incredible parallel factors to all line up accordingly--and when cameras start to do nothing else but constantly log life at a higher resolution, it will require human elements beyond algorithms scrubbing for "Good images" to actually have someone call themselves an artist.
For many people, talking about death or anything linked to it brings out a host of sensitives. Losing a loved one is never easy, nor is the aftermath of arranging where to place them. Because of the pain associated with someone dying, talking about it is somewhat taboo.

I've wanted to go to Japan ever since I was a child. Its culture, nature, and architecture - I always thought those were absolutely beautiful. Last month, I was finally able to fulfill my childhood dream and let myself get consumed by this marvelous country.
I'm a huge Blade Runner fan. It has inspired my style of photography in an endless number of ways, from the color-grading to the themes it represents.

Because everything seems warmer under colorful, fluorescent light.
