5 Street Photography Ideas For ANY Location (Tips & Examples)

[@ForsgardPeter]

I like your images. Good stuff over all. Especially the one at 4:21, the one with sidewalk and umbrellas with slow shutter speed.

[@streetphotographyguy]

Breathtaking shots and inspiring video, thank you mate!

[@Pysees868]

Really good tips. Nice shots. I have a 135mm, wasn't sure what to shoot. This helped a lot.

[@MSladekPhoto]

Thanks for these suggestions! I appreciate when you mentioned a couple of times, "there's no right or wrong way to do this." Love the photos in this video, too :)

Great! When photographing something reflected:: ! WOULD IT BE NICER TO FOCUS IN THE REFLECTION, (WINDOW, WATER, ETC, OR FOCUS IN THE SUBJECT? WHAT YOU THINK? Thank you

[@nikos146]

Consice and to the point! As suggested practice, practice and practice!

[@TKNORTH]

Thank you! Most certainly, can never get enough of it!

[@floydcaoagdan6796]

great insight!

[@dumspyrospero]

Really cool tips man! My next focus will be layering, more challenging but also very rewarding technique :)

[@TKNORTH]

Cheers man! It's definitely a fun way to play around with!

[@thebestoffools]

Great video. Very inspiring. Thank you.

[@kenjonesstudio]

Great video man, I need to start playing with slower shutters myself 👍☺️👊

Solid tips. Agree layering can be challenging. I thought layering entailed inclusion of several interesting subjects, all in focus, at different distances from camera. The subjects should be doing similar or complimentary things. No? For instance, at an ethnic dance performance where there’s a parent preparing a child to perform and another parent doing likewise a bit deeper into the composition. Both sets of subjects doing something complimentary. Difficult to explain but recognizable. No dog cameo in this one?😢 Cheers!

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much! And agree this is probably the more talked about layering in street photography, totally understand what you're talking about - usually more of a complex layering of different subjects. Creating layers by shooting through things is definitely more of an abstract one. Actually one that is in this book I mentioned, in the abstract section though. I think both are really challenging to nail. I feel the great shots created by shooting through things, often almost have this same effect though, either adding something really complimenting the subject in some way.. Or sometimes almost something totally opposing, that works strangely in the same way - again hard to explain without a good visual example. Those type of shots can be few in a lifetime type shots when really done well I feel - definitely hard to practice. I really enjoy experimenting more with these abstract styles though - again there's so many different techniques to explore! Haha I think he was nestled next to my feet in this one, hopefully back to his usual spot next vid! 😛

VERY DOPE video thank you for sharing!

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed 🙏

[@artobell]

Interesting but... for me street photography means 35-50 mm focal lengths to be as close as possible to the subject, not at long distances and the use of the telephoto lens.

[@junelopez9520]

Come on bro stop it 😊

[@adventuresofjandk]

Great stuff

[@martingreenberg870]

I don’t like suggestion #1. I know playing with slivers of light is popular. I don’t like this form of street photography. I never do this. On op of that, I live in Seattle. Half the yer we are engulfed in overcast so the sun doesn’t emerge fro behind the clouds. I’m a big fan of reflections or shooting through glass that distorts the images of my subjects. When you said layering I thought you would talk about having subjects in the foreground, middle ground, and background. Hard to do. Lately I have been exploring intentional camera movement (ICM). Dragging the shutter so I can slow the shutter to introduce purposeful blur in my images. I also move the camera. I zoom in or out to create the blurring too. As I live in a place where it rains frequently, I love to capture reflections in puddles. Puddle shots. Sometimes I have to wait for an interesting injection to be in the reflection. This can take a lot of time. I have been taking longer lenses with me recently. Saul Leiter is my inspiration. He use to shoot an 85 to 135mm lens. This can be hard but fun. He also got me interested in photographing umbrellas. In Seattle this is difficult. The culture here is not to use an umbrella. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

2:24 who's that handsome guy??

[@TKNORTH]

Haha good hangs bro

[@NatureExperience82]

I think something. If it's not a 100% Sharp, it's not a good photo.

[@bsmacutevision]

that's not what layering means, layering means having subjects in atleast 3 layers - foreground, middle ground, background, more the better.

[@TKNORTH]

Actually these are both layering. Layering in photography and street photography has many meanings. Layering of subjects often in similar or complementary positions is very widely covered yes - but also much more complex. The form of layering I mention in this video is also covered in the book i mention though. To me it's a bit easisr of a technique to get started with than layering complex scenes with multiple subjects - certainly a difficult one, especially for beginners.
