There’s no shortage of street photography tips out there. Some focus on gear, some on camera settings, some on philosophies. With information so scattered, you’d be forgiven for getting confused. Thankfully, we have an awesome video from photographer Roman Fox who shares the 10 best tips for street photography that’ll last you a lifetime:
In this video, Fox doesn’t focus on camera gear or settings. Instead, he talks mostly about the behavioral changes that you should make to get better at street photography.
For instance, we buy expensive cameras and lenses, but we don’t think much about our own comfort walking long distances in search of photos. Investing in proper footwear will make street photography a much more pleasurable experience.
Another important personal trait that Fox highlights is learning to observe. Once you start paying attention to what’s going on around you, you’ll develop a gut feeling about what’ll happen next. It’s like you can predict the future. This will help you anticipate and prepare for your shots—a much-needed skill in street photography.
A great point that Fox brings up in the video is how people these days focus on getting that one image right, so it can go viral. But, as he points out, this is the wrong mentality. Instead, aim for a banner album. The images in the album could tell the same story but from a different angle.
In the video, Fox talks about many more unique street photography tips that you can adopt to improve your skills. While technical skills are something you can and should learn, personal development requires greater dedication. So be sure to practice them religiously if you seriously want to take your street photography to new heights.
