Clay Enos - Street Portrait Photo How To - 01-30-2011, 08:28 AM


This is someone I can really relate to and love his attitude towards photography. His emphasis is not on gear but he concentrates on composition.


"Clay Enos is a laid back photographer who is probably most well known for his portraits from the movie The Watchmen. Today he is taking his portrait photography to the streets and doing something most of us would find pretty intimidating by asking random people to pose in front of his white backdrop. Making people feel comfortable with you in a short amount of time is a crucial skill to have as a photographer, and Clay does a great job explaining how you can do this on the street with a relatively short 50mm lens. Now some people might not consider this real street photography but it’s definitely an easy way to capture spontaneous images with a studio look."

You know Americans just love to be photographed. That's why it really isn't hard to take pictures of people anywhere. Most of them will actually wait in line when they see someone with a pro camera.

Try that in Germany and you will probable get punched in your face a couple of times.

I cannot remember the photog's name, but he was an old creepy dude in NYC that would walk down the street with his camera and stick in peoples faces. Then quickly take their photo. Many of these people were pissed off and very annoyed.

I wish I could find that video.

I envy that guy. I have no problem talking to strangers, my ex use to poke at me about it all the time. She use to be amazed that I would just start talking to anyone, people behind us in line at the movies or the grocery store, but once I have a camera in my hand I suddenly feel like I am invading peoples privacy for some reason.
