Tips & Tricks

Colour vs Black & White

Black and white. 

Colour. 

The choice seems obvious, black and white is clearly superior. Or is it? 

When starting out, one of the first creative touches we can apply is switching a photograph into black and white, and the resulting transformation can be quite striking.

Composition

What makes a great photograph? Is it something we see or something we feel? 

Joel Meyerowitz once wrote that if something compelled you to take a photograph, it was worth capturing for the simple reason that it resonated with you. In fact, part of the allure of street photography is precisely this aspect of unpredictability, never knowing what may catch your eye, or when the stars may align at the very moment you find yourself walking past. 

Style

Are you a hunter or a fisher?

This is one of the first choices you make as a street photographer, and very little thought goes into it. How come?
