Great tips. Usually flat out tired after a street photography session because I constantly have to use more than just my feet. Great tip on holding the camera and to constantly be ready for the shot.

Thanks for sharing a Photo Digest, Jako! This is indeed photographic art. I’ve always felt that while the camera matters, your visual insight and vocabulary are most important.

What is Fine Art Photography by Martin Osner

I hold immense respect for Martin Osner, one of South Africa’s most esteemed fine art photographers and educators. Interestingly, we have already scheduled to delve into this widely misunderstood topic next month – what exactly is fine art photography?

I have watched this video from Martin a little while back and it is definitely worth watching.
-
Very interesting. Looking forward to dive into this a bit more.

Beautiful shot! For me the rock makes the composition so much more interesting and the colour blends perfectly with the Caracal’s coat.

Great Street Photography Tips by Faizal. I agree 100% with him that it is an art of observation and requires your full concentration. Some companions might be distracting, but I personally enjoy shooting with another photographer, as long as they don’t get in my way or space.
For me, the photography part is often secondary to the experience. F…Read More
