  4. CrueLoaf says

    This is awesome. Thank you. I used to shoot discretely, chest level, until I could called out by an angry person! I now consider it better practice to be blatant and obvious about it.

  5. Number 1 1000% applies to me

  6. Aciimov says

    Dont fear or scare

  7. Jake77 says

  10. Miley onDisney says

    "Jump!" Probably your funniest line ever.

  11. esmokebaby says

    In america you probly get your cam broken even if you say you deleted it

  12. Jillian J says

    I've found that forcing yourself to shoot on the street and seeing the awesome shots you gather REALLY helps the shy factor. I used to be terrified, but I ended up getting this great shot of a street preacher in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. That practically erased my fear of going out and doing that. Also, having a huge lens (70-300mm) might help at first, as you don't need to be right up on someone.

    I prefer to take photos of things – streets buildings cars etc. I don’t find anything fascinating about people walking

  14. Bucc says

  15. Jigna Kaku says

    Come in India no one will stop u clicking photos in Streets, we welcome u…

  16. ART unchained says

    First time ever I went out to photograph – cops stopped and asked for ID 🙁

  17. The Moment Studios says

    This is helpful

  18. Jack Aylward-Williams says

    You don't need to delete street photos to shut people up, just walk away. Taking pictures of people on the street isn't illegal (well not in Britain anyway, I don't know about Hong Kong) but harassment and assault most certainly are illegal, so there's really not much the subject can do.

  19. Mark Curtin says

    This is the best of Kai!
    Thank you.

  20. Cycle London says

    The problem with 'just delete the photo' is that every time you do so, some knob's belief that he has some expectation of 'privacy' whilst in public, is reinforced, and the next time someone points a camera at him, he will again demand that the photograph be deleted, because after all, 'you can't take my photo without my permission'.  And the day that someone refuses, he will feel morally – if indeed not legally – entitled to use force.   

    NEVER delete your photos.  You have the right to photograph pople and if necessary, be prepared to use force in defence of that right.

  21. Jesus Sanchez says

    Ik this video was posted a long time ago but I want to know what kind of lens you are using in this video

  22. abalaja2010 says

    I really like the way says "bokeh"..

  23. iliden strmrege says

    Top Tip #1: Shoot the elderly and the weak, they aren't fast enough to steal your camera
    Top Tip #2: Do not go into parks at dusk, you may encounter different species of primates copulating and getting pretty annoyed at you (especially when rocking a 70-200mm lens)

  24. Marc Anderson says

    lol those people that think its illegal to take their photo in the street

  25. hailey rae says

    I like to try to make it look like I'm taking a picture of something else/the street/a building or take pictures when they're not looking and you can also try from across the way for beginners 🙂

  26. Igor Ordecha says

    Just look as a tourist. Take city map. Take tourist backpack.

  27. Michael Angelo H. says

    1:40 That guy definitely had an exclamation mark above his head.

  28. Peter Hill says

    Re-do this video after you get ten more years of experience in the street.

  29. genghis2510 says

    I had encounters more than what you have shown here. Nowadays, people are getting edgy and pointing camera is becoming confrontational. I for one do not like having someone taking photo with me in it without my consent. And I have unpleasant encounters doing street photography. I know scout for a coffee shop or cafe or restaurant with a clear wide open window view of street activity. Seated and sipping tea or coffee, I now take street life photos with long lens – discrete and quite invisible.

    always bring a Glock G24 with you. if anyone gives you shit tell them "I either shoot you with the camera or the gun. your choice"

  31. BritishGamer says

    I hate unstoppable ads

  32. Keo Arts says

    I tried this with my friend few years ago I just walked up to people and just asked them could i take their photos then gave them my card, other times I had a very long lens so nobody knew I was photographing buildings or pets in cool areas so I got away with it. Then again you have those shots you want to look real so asking will take away from that scene

  33. xhappy _ says

    I wanted to take photos when I first see your vids

  34. Jimmy Gunawan says

    Lok does look scary when angry.

  35. Santiago Vieira says

    In my city, the street photographer will find thiefs.

  36. Colin White says

    I THOUGHT CARTS WERE CLICHÉ

  37. Luca Schintu says

    here in Italy people usually walk in front of your camera

  38. xtelevisionset says

  39. Rick Smith says
