1 Gear Up

Before you dive into the bustling streets, ensure you're equipped with the right gear. A camera that's quick to focus and easy to handle can make all the difference. While the type of camera is not as important as your skill behind the lens, a model that allows for swift adjustments to settings like shutter speed and aperture will give you an edge. A prime lens with a wide aperture can be particularly useful for low-light conditions and achieving a shallow depth of field, which helps your subject stand out against a busy background.

Lo más importante es tener una actitud activa de percepción. No importa si tienes un "buen" o "mal" equipo, tienes que ser capas de captar una buena historia en una sola imagen. A practicar.

2 Light Hunt

Understanding and utilizing light is fundamental in photography, and street photography is no exception. The quality of light can dramatically alter the mood of your images. Early morning or late afternoon, known as the golden hours, provide soft, warm lighting that can add a magical quality to your photos. Conversely, the harsh midday sun can create strong contrasts and emphasize textures. Always be aware of the direction and quality of light, and use it to shape the narrative of your photographs.

3 Scene Scan

A successful street photographer must always be scanning their surroundings, looking for interesting subjects or moments about to unfold. This involves not only observing people but also understanding the context of the environment. Look for juxtapositions, patterns, and leading lines that can add depth to your compositions. Being aware of your surroundings will also help you anticipate actions, allowing you to capture spontaneous moments that others might miss.

4 Blend In

To truly capture the essence of the street, you need to blend in with your surroundings. This means being unobtrusive and respectful of people's space. Dressing inconspicuously and using a small camera can help you go unnoticed. The more you look like a tourist or a passerby, the more likely people are to ignore your presence, enabling you to photograph more natural and candid scenes. Remember, the key is to observe without altering the scene.

5 Engage Tactfully

There will be times when engaging with your subject is inevitable or even beneficial. Approaching people with respect and a friendly demeanor can go a long way. If someone notices you taking their picture, a smile or a nod can often ease any tension. In some cases, striking up a conversation can lead to more intimate and compelling portraits. However, always be prepared to respectfully back off if someone is not comfortable being photographed.

6 Reflect Daily

After a day of shooting, take the time to review and reflect on your work. Analyze your images to understand what worked and what didn't. Look for recurring themes or styles in your photography that could signify your unique voice. Reflecting on your experiences and photos helps you learn from your successes and mistakes, guiding your development as a street photographer. This daily practice will sharpen your skills and refine your artistic vision.

There's a primal joy in the photographer's dance with light & environment. We become hunters, scanning for visual narratives. Pattern recognition becomes instinct, guiding us towards perfect angles that tell a story. It's natural. Formal setups hold less appeal. My canvas is the wild, where the sun collaborates. This extends to my subjects. I leave portraits to others; my focus is the untamed beauty. Respectful observation is key. Merging with the environment becomes tactical. Years spent photographing wildlife honed these skills. Gear debate? Personal choice. But invest in knee & elbow/forearm protection. Your joints & art will thank you. So, venture forth, fellow storytellers. Capture the world's unique vision.

I would suggest a 35mm and a 50mm Prime lens for street photography. 35mm gives you great angles and captures more inside the frame. The perspectives are a little exaggerated and the results are great. It is closer to a human eye focal length, so maybe true to life image framing. Also it is a little experimental if you try angles with it. Gives you Interesting images. A 50 mm gives you more focus on your subject The depth of field is superb, action shots come out well. Better control of light with a prime lens makes 50mm great. Be patient with your subject. Wait for the right moment & then shoot. Even if you have a Digital camera, patience gives you better pictures. Light direction & angle are important as well. Frame it right always.

Just do it. A lot of times, we are scared of the streets, the gazing eyes and what people would think. Shun all of that and just do it while enjoying the process. Ensure you interact with your subjects, take permission when needed also. Interacting with your subject gives you a better perspective to who they are and you just get to learn great things from the supposedly unimportant people.
