Great video! I've always loved street photography and kind of partake in it myself (more in areas where it seems to be more ok for someone to walk around with a camera, such as Venice Beach and locations like that with street performers and people who are TRYING to get your attention.
I've always been a little unsure about the "Legalities" of street photography but this video pretty much answered them. The streets are public and pretty much anyone can be photographed whether they know about it or not. Whether they have an issue with it or not is a different story.
I enjoyed this 🙂 Thank you
Hi. The video was not bad. Interesting. But… with the utmost respect and politeness… could I please request that you shove that recurring piano solo where the sun don't shine?
Sincerely, viewer annoyed by the recurring piano solo.
In the Philippines, they call street photography a stolen shot…hahahah nice stolen shots.
good shots.
It would be useful to have someone knowledgeable – like an attorney – define "public place." Is a supermarket or a pub or a coffee shop a public place?
jason does have a strong portfolio but it's being over run by images of his that are just meh, trying to cover six minutes of images that are strong/powerful take a very long time and i was highly unimpressed with the barrage of weak images. Steve Mccurry could cover six minutes with strong imagery, so could Elliot erwitt. I like jasons work when it's curated!
Cool shots and always shoot from the hip
I prefer the 'in your face' technique, walk up to a person, click, walk on, don't turn around. The sneaky shot makes me feel uncomfortable. Good pictures here though so it's horses for courses.
So true, sad the laws for this are different in all countrys, they load up all kinds of pics at facebook, while theyre drunk but complaining about people who take pictures of them in the street
What the heck is this music xD
What the heck is this music xD
The interview was great, but it was completely overshadowed by the quality of the images. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight because the photos have my mind racing so fast.
Good pictures, stupid music.
Awesome work! I wish I lived somewhere as big and crowded as Chicago, it's harder to shoot street candids in a small town or suburb where only a few people are out walking at a time.
martini acts so guilty when he's caught.
the picture at 17s is hilarious ha
this guy is one of the best i've seen…
Great piece! Thanks!
the sound levels in this are horrible… that loud piano is painful, while the women's voice is too low….
Inspiring!

I really like your street photography, Jason. And loved your video above as well. Thanks so much.
You can just take it haha great interview
Great video but seems unfinished. Will there be more videos?
"You can just steal it." i love this term, great B&W collection by the way
Great pics!
Nice video, Jason. I enjoyed the narration and the interview of your subjects. I too shoot from the hip or the gut.
I really enjoyed it… Great vid…Load us up some more….Oh.. and thanks.
Great video, impressive shots too! Im often walking the streets of London 'shooting people', Ive been chased, sworn at, ordered to delete shots and even searched by the police, but nothing will take away the thrill of candids for me, one tip I can give and that is to find time to check the work out of other photog's, theres always something else to learn!
4:36. Dope.
This is awesome… gotta try it sometime without getting ass beat! lol
Just takeIt? That will get you a slurry of profanity if you don't ask. I alway ask, in most cases people are reseptive and will agree to have thier picture taken if you ask. be careful.
It's best to use a rangefinder or an Olympus Trip because they don't have a mirror to make a noise giving the game away.
