thank you Doug!
street photography, if not mostly graphic but showing people, is said having to be candid. My photos above mostly aren't either. As an obvious foreigner I prefer asking people if I can take their photo and have them take their pose.
Hijab, head scarfs and traditional looking clothes, in Indonesia, have become "cool" and "fashionable" these days and do not necessarily denote religious, less fundamentally religious persons. The ladies had been busy posing to each other and taking selfies, see below, that made me dare ask them for their pic. Again Sony NEX5n + C.V. Heliar f4.5/15mm:

Thank you! Taipei-chan practice sure helps. Some 10 years ago I had started using manual lenses on digital dSLR, that was good training, focusing on a mirrorless system camera is much more easy. The 15mm on APS-C mostly can do with zone focusing, though I admit that I hardly do that but focus every photo wide open, than stop down, just already used to that. People, when posing, often expect that I'd release more fast than I can having to focus first. More and more often, before asking if I could take their pic, I try to prefocus.
more from Java island, Indonesia 2018, again all taken with C.V. Heliar f4.5/15mm on Sony NEX5n ( but pic. 6, the two sitting girls, that was taken with C.V. Skopar f4/25mm )

not inclusing some of my personal favorite street photos from that 2 weeks trip around east Java because I had shown them already in some other thread.
 
what do you think?

what do you think?

for me a potentially famous photographer in the making!
a young Spaniard taking color street photos in Asia, Saigon, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, he only started taking photos quite recently and uses a second hand, rather low tier dSLR + kit zoom, lately he added a 35mm / abt. 50mm equiv. fixed lens.

Lucky to have found a dear friend in him I'd love to know how you experienced photographers here view his photography, loved to let him know that too.

here some of his very distinct style color street photography

thanks and cheers, andreas

P.S. if there are answers, better to move this to another location in the forum? Moderator please go ahead!

this post foremost is intended to "up" my last post asking for opinion about my friend Victor's street photography. He is very concentrated and talented and would profit from critic and / or encouragement.

A quote of his: ""I'm really obsessed with the composition, looking after matching colors, lines, simple and tidy backgrounds, kind of minimal street photography, and of course, adding the human factor. Without exception, in my frames, the subject and the spot must match somehow, colors, gestures, something that complements each other nicely."

my sample below only partly represents that but is a bit of a similar genre, hoping to encourage you to check out his photography by clicking on the link provided in my last post above.

You are right his work on his web site shown on your other post (I responded to the wrong one) is terrific. A great eye. My only advice to him (if I am qualified to give it) is keep on doing what he is doing as it is excellent but also don't be afraid to experiment. I find that experimentation is needed over time to avoid the eventual "rut" we all get into.

I like your photos and your approach to people you meet.
