GENERAL ADVICE

•Organise your day to cover key locations. Plan carefully in order to get the best light and activity, and consider travel time.

•Use a small camera set-up to blend in if you want to capture people acting naturally.

•Plan to be inside in the harshest light of day, and use the time for interior images.

•Underground stations provide a dependable background of static and regular moving humans and trains, with constant light conditions in which to practise.

•Photograph hand held for street or reportage, and experiment with shooting from the hip.

•For anonymous passers-by, you don’t usually need to ask for permission, especially if you want to capture natural scenes.

•Have a light tripod to use outside for long exposures of water or night photography.

•Ensure you’re not on private property or you may be asked to provide a property release form if selling to picture libraries.

•If you see someone you particularly like the look of, ask permission then direct them into your previsualised scene.

•Using flash outside in daylight creates dramatic people shots.

•Practise shooting in manual as you have the time to prepare for different setups and effects.

•Alternate between sharp and motion blurred images, aiming to always keep something of the scene in focus.

•Look for compositional patterns and a relationship between people and their surroundings.

•Don’t be afraid to use canted angles, tilt the lens or generally work in unexpected ways.

•Get low, lose the horizon and shoot unique frames.

•Document a range of scenes, from bustling, busy streets and quiet nights, to urban decay and shiny new skyscrapers.
