Trevor Wisecup is Daniel Arnold for retarded zoomers. He presents this "cool" punk street photographer image to attract absolute dorks. I would be lying if I say I won't do the same thing if I was him doe. I would very much like money and art hoe pussy.

Nonetheless they're all NYC-SPC drones, all copying each other, all dumb as shit with no unique styles and nothing to say. New York is a sterile shithole. It was "great" murican art city at one point but now it is filled with trustfund nepobaby hacks like these.

no, those are the photos of the photographer listed beneath each one. trevor is honestly one of the weaker shooters in the walkie talkie series. from what the video showed, his best photos aren't even street photography. he's decent, but a lot of those people are a step above

There are no cuts in the video when he's holding up his camera, and you couldn't edit out something like that convincingly - it would be easier to edit in.

It's interesting how the street photographer not only treats the invasion of personal space as a given, but almost as a virtue in itself. It should be no surprise that it primarily attracts provocative cowards who can only post-rationalize their shutter bursts once they're out of arms reach.

Notice how their replies and defences usually boil down to childish indignation and disbelief - how they even feel "violated" that others don't see it their way, followed by the hypocritical mewling about "rights" that they themselves were never willing to respect.

Legally I'm allowed to drive 20km/h under the limit. Doesn't mean it's not annoying every other people within eyeshot.

I am verbally escalating any interaction with a retard who uses a flash 10 feet away from me. In fact I did that very thing the other day when some dickhead ""pro"" at a convention shot his unboxed speedlite at full power right towards me without warning. He got called a cunt at least 3 times and tried his best to slink away like a defeated faggot as I contuinued to call him out on it.
It's not about privacy itself. It's about not being an obnoxious main character faggot in a public place. An ounce of respect for other people is still de facto expected even if de jure the law protects you from being sued or whatever.

I'm really getting started here so bear with me here, I'm just a shitter with a camera that's not mine (no I didn't steal it)
How the fuck do you deal with the fact that
1. taking pictures of people in your cunt is illegal unless you have explicit consent
2. you're not a very social person, no charisma, so you're not the kind to talk people into being subjects in pictures, let alone do what that clown in the OP is doing
3. you live in a densely populated area
4. you physically look like you take pictures for nefarious purposes such as jacking off to children
Seriously it's been a bit of a pain. The last time I tried to take pictures at some event, I had dozens of eyes on me. I couldn't take a good fucking picture. A picture of a fucking ship. That's all I ever wanted. There's only been a couple of times in which being seen with my camera turned into "would you please take a picture of me with my phone".
My friends are all camera shy as fuck (in fact my best friend gets a bit violent about it), my family is all as ugly and unsightly as I am, so I'm not even going to attempt to get into portraits, I would have to pay to do that shit rather than the other way around. Seriously, am I going to have to give up and take pictures of landscapes forever?

Yeah but a jacket in the middle of hot summer...
I just ordered some used mirrorless camera for myself and one of the reasons was precisely being a bit discrete. However I'm a dumbass, and because it was such a great deal, I got it with a lens that is everything but discrete (pic related, I should get shot) and I doubt it's pocketable. Still I'm hoping that without a DSLR hanging from my neck and constantly looking through the viewfinder, people aren't as bothered.

>SOLUTIONS
1) Move away from Nazi Poland. Even in my country with some rather fucked laws, it's legal to photograph people in public areas. Private areas are up to the building/site owner, but security guards still can't touch you without being sued for assault lmao.
2) How fucking hard is it to go "Hi, do you mind I take your photograph?". I reckon 70%+ of people already don't want to be a subject, and you having charisma or not isn't going to change that. If you can't stammer out a single full sentence to a stranger I feel bad for you.
3) How is this a problem? If you missed the "don't", then look for events or festivals and time your streetphotog.
4) Hat. Shades. Don't dress like a serial killer. If you're 400lbs or otherwise a bacne covered wristlet, then you're out of luck. But, dressing neatly and basic hygine will net you the biggest improvement here.
>>4471384
If you want to go B-2 stealth mode, get a remote shutter (not the apps, fuck those, I mean a literal remote control) and hide it in your pocket. Tape over your AF aid so it doesn't trigger (some cameras do this) when you hit the remote. Hang the camera in plain sight on your chest, but keep your hands off it for the most part. Play with the strap length until it sits somewhere where you're happy with the composition. Turn on silent (electronic) shutter. Wear a dark or black shirt to help the camera blend a little.
Bam. You now have the ability to take photos without anyone realising you're taking photos. Sure the camera is there, but you're not using it as far as any normie can tell.
Yes, the composition isn't going to be great. No, a 30mm APS-C lens isn't going to be wide enough for this to be ideal. But there's your stealth build.

The only instance in which is acceptable to shoot on the street is when there suddenly appears an enticing corner of a building the world desperately needs to see, which should be never you putz. Shooting people at eye level in a city is as low-effort as shooting endless blades of grass in a field. Whoopdedo.

However, should some blithering idiot wander blindly into my frame, I expressed immediate and visible irritation, pull the camera back, and quick reposition to reshoot around them. This puts the urchins protective of their precious visage on the underside of the power dynamic from the start. People generally only come at you when they’re confident that they’re the fired up aggressor and you’re not. Otherwise engaging presents a much higher risk of resulting in a swift beating. Works for architectural shoots and upskirts alike. Humans are simple animals anon, you can treat them as such. If you’ve learned anything from American culture in the last decade, when in doubt, strike first and often, just fling your shit everywhere, and let the boring sane outraged people come to terms with it on their therapist couches later.
