Wired.com, Me and You
The good people at Wired.com posted a video of me shooting Streetstudio-style in San Francisco last month. The video is a lovely distillation of ideas and strategies for other similarly motivated folks to take up their cameras and get to it making portraits.
I spent all day in Kansas City last week sharing many of the same concepts but seeing it distilled into just a couple minutes is really fun. I'm grateful to Wired.com producer Annaliza Savage and her crew.
Make pictures, watch videos.

I found your video on Wired and must say that it was very inspiring!
I've been wanting to snap people on the street here in Malaysia but fear gets to me every time! Asians are so much harder to approach. They literally run away!
But your photos are truly amazing!
Absolutely inspiring, you are! Just saw your street portrait vid and this was something I wanted to do but wasn't sure how best to do it. Now I know! Can't wait to get the white board made up! Love it, thanks so much.
Clay, do you get a release from participants of these street shoots?
Really great video, like everyone else, I was very inspired. What kind of strap are you using in that video? I am been looking for something like it for years.
I really liked the video, but these portraits are in black and white and since you are using a digital camera, the photos had to begin life as a color photo. I would love to learn how you process the photos in photoshop to help achieve the results you get. that would make a nice tutorial.
thank you all.
hoyden: get to it. i've been all over southeast asia making portraits. all people are curious.
lynn: share your successes.
Sam: sometimes. it's a buzz-kill
RSG: bought the strap at Adorama. http://www.adorama.com/HAKGP01.html
Doug: most everything is done in Lightroom then i clean up the white in photoshop. just play. ;-)
Clay, i think that video really demonstrates why I have been following your career and blog for what a couple years now. Just watching the way you work and seeing the powerful images you create is very inspirational. I am glad you are able to blog again and doing your thing.
Just watched that vid on Wired, inspiring me to dust off the camera and get taking pictures again.
I found the Wired video via Strobist, and I found it energizing. I can't imagine how exciting and much fun these kinds of shoots must be. The thrill of the cold approach. The moment of it.
Do you still have them to sign the release?
