How to improve your framing : don’t crop for a year.Secret to good multi subject shots : don’t overlap your subjects and look for emotional gestures.
You are only as good as your worst (public) street photograph. Sticking with one focal length for a long time will help you better pre visualize your shot and master framing. Always get critique from others, they will help spot the holes in your photography. You can never spend too much money on photo books.
Spend less time on gear review sites and more time on. A great street photograph needs strong content (what’s inside the frame) and form (composition). Street photography is the most challenging genre of photography out there. Shooting film will teach you more discipline in street photography (and may lead you to become a better photographer). Buying a more expensive camera won’t make you a better street photographer. Watermarks in street photographs ruin the viewing experience for your audience. Cheesy titles in street photographs don’t make them any better. When it comes to editing, remember to “kill your babies.”. Wait at least 6 months to a year before uploading your images to the Internet, to truly understand if is a good photograph or not. No amount of post processing will make a crappy photograph into a good photograph. A street photograph without emotion is dead. The secret of a memorable street photograph : capturing emotion. With digital, it is more like your first 1,000,000 are your worst. With film, your first 10,000 photos are your worst. Bokeh in street photography is overrated. My favorite films are Kodak Tri-X (for black and white) and Kodak Portra 400 (for color). Creating a photo book is the ultimate expression of a photographer. Projects are more meaningful than single images. #OLYMPUS MASTER SP55OUZ OWNERS MANUAL ISO#
When shooting street photography with a DSLR, micro 4/3rds, or a compact and you don’t want to worry about technical considerations, just use “P” mode at ISO 1600.To become a great street photographer you must first understand what a great street photograph is.Street photos of people just walking by billboards is boring.When shooting digital, it is better to unexpose than overexpose (digital has more details in the shadows).When shooting film, it is better to over expose than underexpose (film has more details in the highlights).If you accomplish the same, you have done your job as a photographer. Most famous photographers are only known for their 1-3 most popular images after they die.Even Henri Cartier-Bresson took at least 5 photos of scenes he found interesting and worked the scene to get the one memorable shot. The best camera bag in street photography is no camera bag.The only way money will make you happier in photography if you invest it into experiences (travel, workshops, teachers) rather than material things (cameras, lenses, gear).Great photography projects generally take at least 5-10 years.
Be consistent : stick with one camera, lens, film, or post processing approach to develop your style. It isn’t the quantity of social media followers you have that matters, rather then quality of followed you have that matters. A good photo critique needs (at least) 4 sentences online. A harsh and constructive critique is better than a pat on the back. You will become a better photographer by asking people what they don’t like about your shots (rather than what they like). My keeper ratio : one decent shot a month, one shot I am proud of in a year. 28mm is too wide (most people don’t get close enough) and 50mm is too tight. 35mm as a focal length is generally ideal for most street photographers. A good photo asks more questions than provides answers.
