Photographer Omar Z. Robles brings an insightful discussion on street photography to the B&H Event Space, filled with many examples of his own work, and general and specific tips to improve your work. He starts with his three basic rules for street photography: know the law, know your gear, and shoot every day. He also peppers his talk with some quotes from the masters (Winogrand, Capa) and discusses his preference for getting close to his subjects and using wide-angle lenses. Robles is very open about his fears, his motives, his methods, and how to handle the confrontations that may occur when shooting strangers on the street. He wraps up by mentioning some photographers who have influenced his own work, suggested street photographers to follow on Instagram, and his reasons for choosing Fujifilm X-series cameras and lenses.
