Street photography - SndBox Summercamp

Street photography.

When it comes to street photography, you better took some karate or some sick martial arts classes because not everyone likes to be photographed. If you don't have the grown man-balls to photograph random people or ask people if they're okay with you taking a photograph of them you can also just photograph a glass window with some bars in front of it.

O well... let the journey begin.

Look around you and be aware of what is happening around you.

I mean, check every alley and see if you can find something interesting. Money or something.

Or an audio system in a car. I dont know.

Be creative.

Find shelter in a church and pray for your life.

Because you might document places where you could get raped. Whatever interests you...

Ask a potential rapist to take a photograph of you. No one will know. I promise ;-)

Take your tripod with you, and visit the city by night.

Or wake up early and catch some city-fog.

You can photograph anything you want.

If you wanna take photographs, just go outside and take some. The world is a playground and you can literally photograph anything you want. Do you want to photograph people? Take a picture and show it to them if it turned out nice, don't waste their time and be respectful. Take selfies or whatever, go with friends and explore your city. This reminds me of a post Hive account@anomadsoul posted not so long ago. "A tour around my town", this post received 300 entries, a contest shouldn't motivate you to get out there and take some photographs when you have the chance to do it every day. It is the best way to improve your photography. Approaching strangers might be the most challenging thing to do, maybe start with homeless people, they are lonely. Give them a little bit of money in return for their time. It will certainly brighten up their day, and you have just overcome a challenge.

Street photography is all about seeing what is in front of you and you have a chance of documenting the city in its current time spirit. Architecture, landmarks or whatever object you find interesting, its citizens and tourists, you will find people that might be interesting. I just uploaded some photographs I took during the years of my photography journey. Some were taken by my Canon 5D Mark II and some were taken with my Sony A7R Mark II. I -mostly check the weather before I find myself doing street photography, or I just have it with me during my travels. Waking up early, getting out late, you can challenge yourself any time of the day to get into street photography.

Cheers,
