During a vibrant October 2024 street photography stroll in Toronto, Sean Danny shared his creative path, gear choices, and thoughtful take on the genre's moral side. He kicked off his photography habit amid the pandemic in Halifax, channeling it as pure expression, and pulls inspiration mainly from peers' work rather than distant pros, finding it far more motivating.
Sean shoots candid horizontals with a Nikon Z6II and 26mm f/2.8 lens, sticking to aperture priority at f/8 in good light for zippy shutter speeds, while darting around scenes to seize fleeting energy and rays. On ethics, he grapples with snapping sans permission, stressing good intentions over strict rules—no exploitation or mockery, and he's quick to delete if folks object.
Learning comes best through relentless practice and real-world exchanges, like his Japan workshops, over online classes alone. Sean wraps with fire: Don't await approval—just hit the streets and create.
