Street Photography Quiz:
When was the last time a random passenger in a bus made your jaw drop?
Happens with me all the time!
Whenever I go out into the streets, I never plan on what I'm going to shoot, nor do I have a particular theme in mind.
Mind you, planning ahead is highly benefical to a Street Photographer or any photographer for that matter - a practice that almost always yeilds excellent results when properly utilized.
For me, it's just the sheer excitment of stepping into a vast concrete jungle, unsure about what's around the next corner, or perceiving an event that is about to unfold before you, the sound of your heart beating as you walk/run towards the developing scene - all the while hoping that you get there in time to take... that one shot, that ultimate payoff; is all that matters.
Sometimes you could be standing there observing a street scene when you begin to notice things falling into place; a photo opportunity forming right before your very eyes.
Believe me, this is not an uncommon occurrence, it's happening all around you, all the time!!
What is common, however, is our inability to perceive these moments, and the world around us with a fresh set of eyes.
When I'm out on the streets, I'm like a little kid in a toy store!
Never let your mind relegate what your eyes see to the realms of the mundane.
There's always a story developing somewhere, there's always a connection.
You just have to see it.
If there's one advice that I can give to anyone who'd listen, it's this:
Master your eyes first, your camera can wait.
Here's a selection of photos taken by great photographers
whose eyes I wouldn't mind stealing myself:
