Are you a Street Photographer looking to change your street photography game?
Starting out as a photographer, everyone tries to find their genre, something that will interest them. Street photography will always be that one niche that every photographer from all genres has tried. It's not the only favorite of freelance photographers but it also helps you perfect your skills during the whole process. If you are looking out for ways to improve your skills in street photography then this article is a must-read for you.
Let's get started!
Street photography is all about people staring at you and you being uncomfortable with the stare. But as a street photographer, you need to start getting habitual of the stare. The stares and everybody wondering what exactly you are trying to do should never pull you back from capturing the once-in-a-lifetime moment. Start ignoring everyone but you also need to communicate in the right way while clicking pictures. Anyone would get suspicious if you stood beside their car trying to capture something. Explain to them and make them believe that you are not stealing anything, you are just trying to take a picture.
Live the moment and don't be too harsh on yourself to take the perfect click. Mistakes will be made at the start but it's your job to learn from those mistakes and do better every time. Critiques are everywhere but that should not stop you from doing what you love the most. The problem with being too hard on yourself is the pressure that is created by performing outstandingly. Street photography should be fun and easy. Get into the moment and capture everything that catches your eye.
Crowd locations like markets, and festivals, are great for street photography. But try to look for places that are less crowded and full of moments. Find these places and explore them because you can't miss out on a chance to capture a fantastic moment as a street photographer. Here, you get fewer stares and a lot of places for you to explore and capture.
It's very essential to connect with the subject that you are planning to capture. More than connecting, understand your subject and study your subject. Be it a beautiful building, a tree, or even people. Learn to connect and study them to bring out the best in them. This connection will be shown in your pictures and it will play a vital role in bringing out the best in your subject.
Consistency is the key to everything and in order to change your street photography game, you will have to master this. Street Photography is a difficult skill to master and your only way out of this is to be consistent. Take out some time from your everyday work life, be it break time or after work. Just start capturing everything that is catching your eye and try to get better with each click.
Street photography is like free writing for photographers. Where you get to explore new places, new things, and new people. How about learning and exploring more about street photography with experts in the industry?
