Certainly interesting, but not really "street photography," rather what it says it is = "photograph(ing) strangers on the street. But well worth seeing none the less...

Hey Angelo-

Tom watched this video and somewhat emulated the photog. He set up (taped) a paper backdrop on a wall in Hollywood and snapped away. He got some good results.

Interesting idea and from the look of his results, very effective.

I wonder how he organizes model releases…

why do you think he'd need releases?

I think the question might be answered here

I'm sure this has been/is being/will forever be debated ad nauseam…

The USA is one of the (if not the) most litigious countries in the world…

I didn't pose the question, you did. I wondered why you asked about releases because there's been absolutely no reference to any of the images being used commercially.

If you'd like a read on the subject matter I've assembled a library of data (links) in the Photog's Resources sticky thread at the top of the MYOB forum.

very cool although his 1 minute vs Clay's 8 seconds is notable. And as BD noted, asking passersby to pose does not fit the realm of true street photography.

totally agree but considering how much passes for "street" in this forum...

Merci!

I totally agree ... this thread is about Photography in the Streets ...not "Street Photography".

This may have been posted before, and I hope this is relevant to the thread.

One of my favorite practical essays on the process of street photography is by Michael David Murphy called Ways of Working.
