Yup, on camera flash IS used by some, but that doesn’t mean we have to LIKE it surely? Many people will probably know Scott Schuman better via his blog name (The Sartorialist), again, yes his is staged, but his work isn’t really street photography, it’s more fashion photography, taken on the street. I guess it’s still street photography, but it’s more than just that…

If everyone did things the same way I guess it’d be pretty boring out there…

I like this site but it tends to lack on the knowledge of street photography. On camera flash is used , look up the VANITY FAIR photographer Larry Fink. One of the worlds most noted photographers does this, and his name is
Steve McCurry.
Scott Schuman is another that is VERY well known and respected as a photographer, and he stages most if not all of his work.

I just don’t think many of the viewers of this site know the big movers and shakers in photography. That’s not a diss to the average view here, but judging from the posts that receive the most comments, this site’s viewer tends to not be those into fine art, or fashion, but more towards commercial and wedding. Nothing wrong with that, but just and observation.

Here is Larry Fink using on camera flash.

Think the staged street photography is more upsetting then a flash. But then again, why care. It’s his way of doing it.

On camera flash, really? I thought it actually ruined most of the shots. Liked 90% of Kai’s better.
