Street Photography Techniques

This tutorial is a follow-up to my first workshop on street photography published here on Udemy. After a general introduction to street photography as a genre, this class focuses on specific and somewhat more advanced techniques and tricks that I use when I work in the streets. These include panning, shooting with a zoom lens, shooting a sequence of images or working a scene among others. For a better understanding of the course, please make sure to watch chapter: course overview.

You will learn how to deal with shyness, how to work the scene getting the most out of the time in the streets, why shooting a sequence might help you get a better shot, why photos don't always have to be tack sharp and how to introduce motion to your still images and why street photography isn't always about wide angle lenses.

To practice some of the things we talk about in the tutorial I came up with a project that you might want to do to get familiar and hone on your new skills. I hope you enjoy this and that it helps you become a better photographer!

Class Project:

Shoot either or both:

1. A sequence (see: chapter IV). A sequence might have from 3 to ∞ images.

2. Some images using panning (see: chapter V).

I encourage you to upload your work here - I will give you feedback for sure.
