@FishyFish Yeah I always use the Matt Stuart example whenever the question around the need for people in street photography pops up. Always look out for something similar, but never see it

Interested subject. I can see the OPs point as there are a quite a few youtube videos following a similar formula. Would be interesting to see what the actual definition (if there is one) of street photography is. There is a lot of emphasis in this thread on candid shots. I personally think it is a record/ a moment in time captured in an urban environment with (usually) or without a human subject.
Apologies if this has been mentioned but maybe check out some Film street photographers on youtube. I see some differences between the 'typical' fuji wielding wanderers to someone who tries to make 24 or 36 frames count.
You know what, I agree with you. Content creator is a better term. My partner asked why I bothered with picking up a camera as I have nowhere to share it. I don't have facebook, nor instagram but I just do it for myself. Only place I can share is here. Where they go out with the purpose of filling a YT video to earn revenue.On the subject of YouTube.. I'd say there's a lot of YouTubers (or content creators ) that wonder around with a camera, record and then call it street photography. There are fewer street photographers who go out, shoot and record... i think there is a difference.
One guy I'm watching a lot at the moment is Dante Sisofo - he's only just started his channel so has a small following, but he's publishing some great videos. So, do check him out!

The Borough Market area is a favourite for me with plenty of characters buying and selling produce etc so have got myself a cheap rail ticket and am heading that way tomorrow for the day.
I love shooting around the streets, south bank and markets in and around London and have never had any issues, mainly because people are too busy in their lives to notice somebody in the crowd taking photos.

Frank, I'd be really interested to know in the future when you're hittin' London again, perhaps we could stop by some place for a time or two & coffee.
I've been to London three times in the last fortnight. Last Saturday I walked from Hyde Park/Marble Arch along Oxford St to Oxford Circus and spent quite a bit of time snapping around those areas. I then got the bus to Westminster Bridge/St Thomas's hospital and spent quite a bit of time snapping along the South Bank which is one of my favourite ports of call. I also like the Covent Garden & China Town areas very much. You might be interested to see the link that I posted today on the "Capture A Stranger Street Style" thread about new areas to try.
It would be nice to have a coffee at some point in the future. Tomorrow it's market day with Camden, Borough, Covent Garden, Brick Lane, Greenwich and Old Spitalfields Markets if we can fit them in.
