Street photography is a genre that requires both understanding and technique but also requires patience. Even if you don’t do street work, there are many lessons to be learned from this genre that can be applied to most photography. This excellent video essay discusses those lessons and how to use them to improve your own image.
Coming to you from James Popsys, this great video discusses the lessons we can take from street photography to apply to other genres. By far, I think one of the most important things is learning not to equate the time and effort invested with the quality of the final image. It can certainly be frustrating when we spend so much time creating a photo, whether in post-shooting or post-processing, just because it doesn’t reach the heights we had hoped for. hope when formulating it, but it is important that we are willing to be ruthlessly objective about our work. On the other hand, sometimes, you just get lucky and get a great shot with little effort or investment. Check out the video above for a full rundown from Popsys.
