    I am Oliver, a Street Photographer from Germany with a big love for Italy – mainly Turin. But i am a passionate traveller as well – check out my website krumes.com for photos i´ve made on my journeys to Tokyo, New York, Paris, London, Myanmar, Vietnam or China.

    I´ve been shooting Street Photography (on Fuji x100v and XT4, Ricoh GR3 and Sony A7CR2. I ditched shooting with Leica or Nikon so far – but who knows?) for nearly 20 years now.

    In 2016 i started to teach Street Photography workshops. I had solo and group exhitibions in Germany, Austria, Hungary and Italy, published my first Street Photography book “Immerse light, embrace shadows” last year and was juror for international photo contests.

    This channel is for all Street Photography beginners and pros – if you have any requests for future videos, please leave a comment – very curious about your opinion. Oh, and I am still a beginner in this Youtube thing so your comments help me a lot – and please forgive me my bad English (I am tschörmän)…

      Hope you like this video, I put a lot of effort in it…Here are some of the best tips to enhance your compositions with a 35mm lens:
      Framing and Composition: The 35mm lens’s wide field of view is perfect for framing your subjects within their surroundings. Use natural elements to create a frame around your subject, adding context and directing attention to the focal point of your image.

      Leading Lines: Incorporate leading lines to guide the viewer’s eye through the photograph. Lines such as roads, railings, or pathways add depth and structure, enhancing the narrative flow of your shots.

      Depth of Field: While not known for extremely shallow depth of field, the 35mm lens can still achieve beautiful background separation. Experiment with aperture settings to find the right balance between sharpness and bokeh, especially in portraits or detailed street scenes.

      Dynamic Compositions: Use the lens’s wide angle to capture dynamic compositions that include both the subject and their environment. This approach can infuse energy and movement into your images, making them feel vibrant and alive.

      Reflections: Utilize reflections to add an extra layer of interest to your photography. Whether it’s a puddle on the street or a storefront window, reflections can create symmetry, add depth, and offer unique perspectives that captivate the viewer.

      Sunny 16 Rule: When shooting in bright conditions, the sunny 16 rule can be your best friend for achieving proper exposure. This rule suggests setting your aperture to f/16, and your shutter speed to the reciprocal of your ISO setting. For example, at ISO 100, use a shutter speed of 1/100 second.I personally love to use 1/500 with ISO 400-500.

      Get Close: The 35mm lens encourages intimacy by allowing you to get closer to your subject. This proximity brings a personal touch to portraits and street scenes, capturing authentic expressions and moments.

      Utilize the Environment: Enhance your compositions by incorporating interesting backgrounds, light, shadows, and textures. These elements can add layers and interest to your photos, making them more engaging.

      Experiment with Angles and Perspectives: Embrace creativity by exploring different angles and perspectives. Low angles can add drama to your shots, while high angles can offer a fresh viewpoint. Don’t be afraid to experiment to see how they change the story your image tells.

      Toll, Oliver, was für wunderschöne Motive dein achtsamer Kennerblick eingefangen hat. 0:51 !! 2:59 besonders 'geheimnisvoll'! 5:00 finde ich auch grandios! Hier 9:29 ist der Engel hinter der letzten Reihe m. E. 'der springende (Motiv-)Punkt'! Das frühe Aufstehen hat sich gelohnt, ebenso deine Geduld! Lb. Grüße – Monika
