A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

85mm

Where did this 85mm trend come from? At this point I've seen a silly amount of people shooting street with a fancy Sony (it's always Sony, somehow) mirrorless and a 85mm.

Kenneth Hines and Jason Vong posted a series of street photography videos and tutorials on YouTube, and Hines has basically made a living off his 85mm Zeiss Batis shooting street in NYC. They both tout Sony gear and 85mm for street.

That’s the one category of photography I have a love/hate relationship with. It’s either an incredible moment in a city, or utter garbage. Also, fuck those rude, intrusive photographers that rudely snap a flash photo 6” from someone’s face in public to try and make it edgey.
