Look Through the Viewfinder of Street Photographer Nick Turpin
Well-known London street photographer Nick Turpin has started a new point-of-view video series to allow people to “come along for the ride” as he creates his work. The 17.5-minute video above is a look into how he works and things on the streets of the UK’s capital.
“I have developed a system to film through the viewfinder as I work on the streets of London,” Turpin, the founder of the international street photography group iN-PUBLiC, tells PetaPixel. “I’ve never seen it done before and I think it’s the best way to teach street photography technique.”
And combined with Turpin’s commentary as he chooses settings, uses different techniques, and creates scenes, the video provides an eye-opening look into the mind of a seasoned street photographer.
Turpin says he’s planning to continue filming this type of point-of-view video over the coming months, and you can follow along with the series through his new YouTube channel.
