I attended the first Eddie Adams workshop. One night Gregory Heisler was showing slides and telling stories to a room full of students. I think it went until 4 am. When the lights came up I noticed that Jay Maisel had been there the entire time, laying on the floor soaking it all up along with the students.

Wow, Scott, I wish there was a way for Jay to make a tutorial video of his street photography approach. I like street photography, but I feel very reluctant to photograph people on the street. I’ve tried it a few times, but I always feel that I’m intruding upon their space.

Hi Scott,
Wonderful post! Would you please do another post that identifies the “small inconspicuous” lens and more of the tips you learned from this wonderful photographer!

Thanks.

Scott-

Thanks for that wonderful post — it made my morning. Relatively few people will get the chance to have a day like that with a living legend. But many people will be able to claim a small piece of what you came away with from your writing.

What a great thing! I’ve always believed that there is no way to better learn than being in the shadow of a giant…

[...] Scott Kelby’s Photowalk with Jay Maisal - PhotoshopÂ impresarioÂ Scott Kelby posted a blog entry about his day with photographer Jay Maisal on the streets of NYC. As Kelby says: “He would point out scenes, moments in time, interaction between couples; parents and their kids, or a light bouncing up from a book being read by a woman reading silently in the park that I would have just walked right by and missed.” [...]

Great reporting of your day with Jay. Can you post any of Jay’s (or your) shots on that day?

Scott:

Great review as always. Seems you had an excellent day.Thanks for sharing.
As some other mentioned before are there any helpful tips and tricks on shooting on the street?
It sounds always so easy but mostly I am “scared”or feel uncomfortable of shooting people on the street. And whatÂ´s the thing with the permission ? Can you use such “street photographies” without the knowledge oh those people.
