Street Shots Photography Podcast 211 in Progress
In this episode, Ward kicks things off by sharing his experiences at the Calgary Stampede, a massive fair and rodeo. He talks about using his new camera gear, including his trusty Fujifilm X-E3 with a 23mm lens for wide shots and the new Fuji X-S20 with a 50mm lens for more detailed portraits. Ward explains how he uses the 23mm lens for capturing groups of people in candid moments and the 50mm lens for more composed shots from a distance. He emphasizes the importance of getting into the right mindset to capture compelling images, especially in such a lively setting. Ward also reflects on the importance of enjoying the process of photography, from shooting to editing.
Antonio then brings up an interesting discussion about the ability to simultaneously experience an event and document it through photography. He draws on his experiences filming concerts and live shows to illustrate how seasoned photographers can balance both aspects. They discuss the concept of "seeing" in photography and how it can transform one’s perception of everyday environments. Ward mentions his approach to street photography at the Stampede, including his strategies for shooting at night and using different lenses to keep his work fresh and engaging. The conversation explores the challenges faced by beginner photographers and how they can learn to see the world differently through their cameras.
