I bought a camera when my first baby was born just to catch the moments of growing-up. I had never taken a photography as art before that. It took me quite a time to evaluate from just hobby photography into becoming a street and documentary photographer. Before starting to take photos, I had dived into the history of photography. I was extremely interested to learn to understand the \u201clanguage of photography\u201d so I had created a very structured plan of study and started to read a lot of thematic literature.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/x-e4_taras-bychko_01-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/x-e4_taras-bychko_01-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">X-E4 &#038; XF18mmF2 R<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>I worked as a legal adviser at that period of time and had had very limited free time but every minute of that \u201cfreedom\u201d I was dedicated to photography. I was searching myself in photography for months\u2026 Due to the lack of free time, I started to shoot on the streets, while my lunch breaks, going to a supermarket, walks, etc. I started to look at my world through the viewfinder of my camera. I was quite lucky to be able to find the proper tool for my style of photography quite soon \u2013 X100. I really love the X-series cameras because of the outstanding ergonomics and total feelings from the shooting these cameras provide(it\u2019s all about comfort and pleasure using them). Also, those awesome film simulations allowing me not to edit my photos afterward.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/x-e4_taras-bychko_02-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/x-e4_taras-bychko_02-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">X-E4 &#038; XF18mmF2 R<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>It was not enough though to shoot only when you have a \u201cfree time\u201d so I had decided that if I need to choose between photography and a job then I should quit my job in order to keep the drive and not let myself stop.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/x-e4_taras-bychko_03-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/x-e4_taras-bychko_03-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">X-E4 &#038; XF18mmF2 R<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>Street photography for me is a spontaneous intuition, a feeling to catch something that goes around you and is interesting, exciting and unique at the same time.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/x-e4_taras-bychko_04-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/x-e4_taras-bychko_04-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">X-E4 &#038; XF50mmF2 R WR<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>I\u2019m surprised with a popular thought nowadays that anyone can shoot streets by just taking a camera and \u201cgo hunting\u201d making \u201cmasterpieces\u201d from time to time. Absurd! A street photography shooting is a very deep and well-thought thing that demands huge both visual and practical experience. But the main thing in this style of photography is to be ready for a \u201csmile of a fortune\u201d and be able to react to them correctly and in time.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/x-e4_taras-bychko_05-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/x-e4_taras-bychko_05-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">X-E4 &#038; XF18mmF2 R<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>The most difficult thing in street photography is not to repeat yourself and use self-criticism. It helps to look at your shots, evaluate them and understand the mistakes in order to avoid them in the future. It\u2019s also important not to follow someone else\u2019s expectations and stay yourself, stay faithful to yourself, and hear yourself. There is no border between street photography and documentary one in my practice. I\u2019m interested in photography as a whole. I\u2019m not interested to become a hostage of some certain photography style but want to take pictures of the life around me as it is.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/x-e4_taras-bychko_06-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/x-e4_taras-bychko_06-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">X-E4 &#038; XF50mmF2 R WR<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>The tools are important and it may be quite difficult to find a proper one that will help you to realize the idea and the vision in the best possible way.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/x-e4_taras-bychko_07-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/x-e4_taras-bychko_07-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">X-E4 &#038; XF18mmF2 R<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>I was quite like to get my hands on a new Fujifilm X-E4 before its official announcement while doing my shootings on the street of Lviv, Ukraine. The camera is so compact and almost invisible for other people which makes it a huge advantage while shooing at the streets. The speed the camera work with, awesome ergonomics, and beautiful processing of high ISO images are a huge benefits of X-E4. In my opinion, this new camera combined all the benefits of both X100 and X-Pro series it one body making Fujifilm \u0425-\u04154 a decent versatile camera that is able to process any task it can face.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My story is probably the same like many other photographers\u2019 ones.
