Beginner’s Guide to Street Photography:

These tips are designed to be useful for both amateur enthusiasts and professional photographers alike. With these techniques, you’ll be able to create stunning street photographs that capture the essence of the moment and convey the unique energy and character of urban life.

1- Be patient

Photographers frequently make the mistake of taking one or two photos in one location and then moving on to another.

In order to become a great photographer, you need to take at least 15-20 photos, if possible, because you need to make use of all the opportunities and shots that are available in that place.

2- Use the flash light

Make sure that your camera is in “P” mode, and that the flash light is automatically used in your shooting settings. If your camera does not have a light, use an external source of light.

3- Direct eye contact

   If the photographer gets the person in the photograph to look directly at the camera, the viewer will feel connected to the photo, as if the person is looking directly at them. The stronger the eye contact, the more emotional the image will be.

4- Dip a little lower

“Eye-level photography has become mundane and uninteresting due to its commonality. As a professional photographer, it is imperative to differentiate yourself from the average by adopting a unique perspective. By lowering the camera and exploring different angles, you can capture breathtaking and one-of-a-kind shots that will leave your audience in awe.”

5- Take a picture when you’re not looking

Photographers often aim to capture the “decisive moment” – the moment when something interesting happens. However, Mixmoo suggests that another approach to photography is to take spontaneous photos. This means taking pictures of people when they are not aware that they are being photographed, and have abandoned all their attention and artifice.

6- Control your subject

Have you ever wondered what happens when you ask someone to take a picture of them? Well, if they agree, it means you have the power to capture a moment in time and turn it into a cherished memory! Pretty cool, right?
