San Francisco Street Photography

San Francisco is an incredible city for street photography and for taking pictures of strangers.

Usually, when I do candid street portraits, it’s in Mexico City where I live, and since my Spanish isn’t great, I don’t chat that much with the strangers I take pictures of.

InSan Francisco however, I really enjoyed the short conversations that come with doing street photography.

My photos from a day in San Francisco, Bay Area

My street photography camera

In my San Francisco Street Photography video, I use two of my favorite cameras for street photography and portrait photography.

My primary camera, which is the beautiful Fujifilm x100f camera. I use the camera whenever I go places, like San Francisco or travel in general.

My everyday camera, the small Ricoh GR II. I use this camera for street photography almost every day. It’s super light and fits in my pocket.

I hope you enjoyed this Street Photography San Francisco video!
