POV Photowalk - Street Photography with Fujifilm X-T4

[streetcamcraig]

Hi everyone - this is the first time I'm publicising my POV photowalks - I felt inspired by having recently just bought a Fuji X-T4, and rediscovering my old 35mm f2 XF lens. I would love to know what you guys think of my photos and my process. I know that not all of the shots are good, but I wanted to include everything in order to build an honest representation of a photowalk in the city.

Many have told me to use the LCD as a waist level viewfinder, but I quite enjoy the style of photo I get when I capture that split-second where the subject spots me. I find the expression on their faces quite raw and honest and I like that in art. What do you think?

You've plainly made some of your "subjects" quite uncomfortable, judging by their expressions. You pushed it IMHO too far with the young woman in the hijab. Lose the GoPro, bro. Carry the camera in your hand and see the shot before you bring it to your eye. Drive-by poster here? Dunno.

In regards that specific shot of the woman in the hijab, I sensed she was uncomfortable so as soon as I brought my camera down, I made sure to fix my gaze upon the building behind her until she thought I wasn't photographing her. After a few seconds, she dropped her guard and ignored me

Not smart or sensitive. Suppose you'll get it eventually--hopefully without damage to you or your gear.

I set the video play to double speed and hadda quit halfway thru. Theres just no "there" there :-(

Seems like youre going thru the motions but with no sense of purpose or vision. Hopeless to advise.
