Street photography is an exciting genre that can quickly sharpen your technical and creative skills, but it also is not for the faint of heart. If you are interested in street photography but find yourself a bit shy to tackle it, check out this fantastic video tutorial that features an experienced shooter giving five helpful tips for apprehensive photographers.
Coming to you from Pierre T. Lambert, this excellent video tutorial features five practical bits of advice for shy street photographers. No doubt, street photography can be challenging for even the most extroverted among us and downright impossible (or at least seemingly so) for the more apprehensive, but if your primary genre is something like portraits or weddings, it can be a really beneficial thing to practice. Street work requires you to be able to quickly read light and visualize compositions while simultaneously understanding and anticipating human behavior, and, of course, those are the same sort of capabilities that will make you a better wedding, events, or portrait photographer. Just remember that there is no single right away to do street photography. Do it in a way that keeps you safe and allows you to feel comfortable and able to explore your creativity and develop your technique. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Lambert.
