Taking It To the Streets
To some, street photography is making a comeback. To others, it never went away. Whatever your perception, there’s no question that photographers worldwide are overcoming fears and inhibitions to document life in public spaces. They’re doing it with minimal equipment, preparation, plans, and expectations. They’re capturing the energy, edge, humor, and wonders of the urban landscape. You can too. I’ll give you an overview of current trends and styles, share tips and techniques, discuss ethical and legal issues, and provide suggestions for how to overcome personal obstacles.
