Shooting Street Photography Guide

Shooting street photography is all about being able to see an image before you take it. You will find yourself waiting for the right moment, people move quickly through crowds and the light changes regularly (especially in England) it is important to know your camera settings and keep on your toes when shooting street photography

As with all types of Photography practice is key but you can use the following bullet points as prompts on what to look for when you're out shooting:


Interestingly lit areas
Pattern
Leading Lines
Story Telling
Composition
Colours
Reflections

Experiment with each of these headings as you shoot throughout the day and see what images you get. Make sure to experiment with your angle for each shot and don't just stand and point your camera at your subject. Shoot in a priority mode to allow for sudden changes in lighting, I would suggest using a wide aperture and a fast shutter speed if possible (1/125th - 1/640th depending on how bright your scene is)
