The Mijonju Show - How to photograph people on the streets? (special Guest: Mark Skorj)

[ITSbigwillystyle]

In America, the only shooting on the streets is primarily done with guns :(

Lose the high pitch voice whatever setting, really annoying. Other than that nice video.

[sectec25blog]

Hi there, sorry that model is the camera with that lettest thou thy video, which so difficult is to achieve it and that film uses? Thank you, you're great Mijonju

[minhkaaaaay]

I WANT THE OLD INTRO BACK!

[seedlesstreefilms]

wtf did she say? oto to tot?!

[JWhitePhotography]

Pleaseeee stop the high pitch voice thing. I cant understand you, and it gets old and is kinda annoying... :/

[Mijonju]

@JWhitePhotography this is old, should i remove this video?

[JWhitePhotography]

@Mijonju Haha. No, keep it. It's always cool when other photographers are recognized.

[Bader88]

Wow Bro the pic looks awesome !!

[320k]

Sounds like good advice! I wonder if it works in all cities in Japan (not just Tokyo)

[genchin]

nice camera..maybe its hard to find at my place..

[Aaron16]

What happens when he runs out of film :O

[Mijonju]

@NoodsCreative standard is 127mm but he has a wide 75mm :)

[dendelionnum1]

give me one camera! haha just kidding

[mipmipmipmipmip]

I bought a Polaroid 600SE due to this video! It's a monster! One tip of advice: the 150mm lens has a 2m minimal focal distance, which is not very practical for most situations. The good thing is that this makes it cheaper, so that is the one I ended up buying for about 300 euro for the full set! The 127mm is more versatile and quite expensive, 300 euro for just the lens, the 75mm one needs the extra viewfinder as you see in this video, which can be a pain to find.

would a white Pentax k-x be a attention atractor? (i know its not about lomo or polaroid and stuff)

or is black the way to go?

[Mijonju]

@HKG36E i think i lilke black better, I have a golden seagull and i never once thought about shooting it outside, hahaha everyone might look at me.

[HKG36E]

@Mijonju yeah thats something i don't want to have a when shooting in town... but yeah gold is a bit over the top :) (attention thiefs there is a guy with a golden camera) :p

[mipmipmipmipmip]

@HKG36E I have a white pentax k-x and a Polaroid 600SE. The Polaroid gets most attention, I got remarks from random girls ;)

The white color k-x gets positive reactions too. But so far I didn't dare to ask people on the street yet, not sure if you won't be beaten up ;)

I LOVE the Pentax. Change some settings and it does miracles with cheap old manual aperture / manual focus lenses. Practice with that, and then buy a 70s Pentax film camera with metering (I got a KX), and start shooting film!

[camerasalesjapan]

I love the casual way Skorji just SLAPS the 75 on the table......no rear cap, no nothing......much respect. Been drinking helium?

[Mijonju]

@camerasalesjapan ya i drink helium in most of my shows :) some episodes you see me drink them intentionally

[therodentsact]

aaaaa u have the mini pentax!

[Mijonju]

yes its a cute lovely camera :)

[VINTONGFX]

cool!

[Mijonju]

@VINTONGFX yeah!

[NiHaoDeutsch]

Is Mark Australia or Kiwi? His accent is so familiar but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Anyway, I've done a few candid photos of people in the city and hope they don't get angry. It's legal here to take photos of people in the public without permission, but it's polite to delete the photo if they catch you and feel uncomfortable about it.

[Mijonju]

true :) you in japan now?

i saw you at the sushi bar in you vid :)

[NiHaoDeutsch]

@Mijonju Sadly the last time I visited Japan was in '06 with my highschool. That sushi train video was recorded at a local Korean run sushi restaurant :]

[Mijonju]

@NiHaoDeutsch ohh

[Mijonju]

im not sure where he is from :)

[ilovegeemore]

awesome camera! i wish i could get one!

[Mijonju]

why you can :) why not? you should get it :)

[blaxton2]

I liked the bit about Ken's advice which was so good he had never followed it himself.

[Mijonju]

haha yes i was laughing like mad because of that.

[super999999]

Sorry, I lol'd when you said "shoot" people in the streets.

[Mijonju]

[cypherexzero]

[stee1face]

I just bought the 600 SE on ebay. I'll be broke but happy. Can't wait.!!!

[Mijonju]

[stee1face]

[Mijonju]

[stee1face]

[theLalami]

[imjustbettr]

Very cool, I happen to listen to filmwasters every once in a while

[Mijonju]

yeah!! :)

[absolutelyM3]

you had a hair cut !!........ i think.....

I wanted to ask people to take a picture of them so many time before, but then i always get too afraid to =(

[Mijonju]

@absolutelyM3

be brave :) the worst thing is just a deny :)

and yup i cut my hair ;)

[ichirootaniguchi]

i use a 35mm 1.4 for street :D

[Mijonju]

@ichirootaniguchi

thats pretty wide. but ya you have your style :)

[ichirootaniguchi]

dude check out bruce gilden that guy is fucking nuts

[Mijonju]

@ichirootaniguchi

he is amazing. thats for sure :)

[odallafile]

amazing!

[Mijonju]

@odallafile

indeed! :D

[mantosz]

Asking could end up with good results or no results at all if the person refuses. Personally, I love to took photos of people without permission at all, hoping to get those resentful expressions on their faces.

[Mijonju]

@mantosz

that can be another style but look at those happy peopleon the link i provided:D

[ulis62003]

Nice idea dude...By the way ... that polaroid is so cool!!!

Great job!!

[Mijonju]

@ulis62003 yaaa i got a 600se for myselfafter watching it :D

[fuzzyeyeballs]

Cool! Ask them? It is pretty crazy difficult here unless you're talking about those foreign workers etc. Hahaha.

[Mijonju]

doesn't work in singapore? why not?

[raika19eighty6]
