5 Tips Every Street Photographer Should know by Faizal Westcott

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. Agree with shooting with other people. Too many may be a distraction and become cumbersome, but in South Africa there are safety in numbers.

Also love the tip on it being “okay” to use the auto settings if it means you’ll get the shot. I still sometimes fumble through the manual settings, and only later discover (eg chimping or review) that I forgot about something simple, but then the moment is gone.
Oh, not really a tip shared in the video, but did notice that most of the stree…Read More

About Me
Danie Bester
DPC Founder, Programme Director. Fine Art and Commercial Photographer
The more abstract forms of photography like impressionism and minimalism intrigue me. I prefer creating images that depict energy, mood, and silence. To illustrate my themes, I use mainly long exposures, selective focus, and focus blur. My philosophy is that the camera is just a paintbrush and that thought-provoking images stem from a developed mind.

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
