Street Photography: Light, Composition and Moment
Practical tips and advice from real walks.
This page collects everything I’ve written about street photography.
It’s the same approach I teach on my street photography workshops: simple tools, clear intent and respect for people in public spaces.
You’ll find ideas for working the light, building cleaner frames, reading the scene, and reacting without fuss. I’ve included notes on settings, timing, ethics, and a few exercises you can try on your next walk.
Use what helps, ignore what doesn’t, and keep moving.
