Hello guys! We're back again with another street photography tip. But today, it is more like an advice rather than a tip. One tip or advice that you need to keep in mind is to not overthink and do not be a perfectionist! Perfection is not required in street photography. I know getting a sharp images pleases everyone. However, we can’t always get a perfectly focused images as sometimes it does not turned out as what we want. Thus, sharpness is not everything, So break the rules! Get familiar and comfortable in knowing your gear. In case you missed the focus on your initial subject or mistakenly focuses on something else, you can always fix the image in post-editing by cropping and recompose it properly. It is a mistake, but it is a mistake that can be fix and turn into something else. Easy, don’t sweat yourself so much on becoming a perfectionist.

Heyo we're back again with another tip. Have you ever encounter a moment where you wanted to go out and do a photoshoot or just casually snapping some shots but the weather started to go south and you be like "Man... I can't shoot now that its raining. Well, back to Netflix I guess". Yep, that's me. But after awhile of following my friends I found that taking photos in rain can be quite relaxing especially in this scorching hot country that most definitely will give you a headache after a session of shooting. The ambient and mood while shooting in the rain just felt different and cooler. No pun intended. huhu Of course it’s always nice to shoot on a sunny and warm weather because of the strong lights and hard shadows that complement the great photos. But that is so repetitive and it will get boring after a while when you only get the same type of shots. To get a completely different kind of shots you need to go shoot in all weather – raining, cold, fog, intense su...

Today, we're gonna go a little bit about the practical stuffs to get right idea on how and what is the best way deliver your photo. In street photography, it is all about the expression of the world.

Hello. I'm so I forgot to post the tip every Monday like I've said but here we are again with some tip for street photographers out there. Today's topic is about lenses that we can use and which are recommended for street photography. Again, I'm not an expert and I'm just sharing what I have learnt from friends and the internet.  Shooting with prime lenses just give you a better experience and get you to think differently about most of your shots due to the fixed focal length. It forces you to focus more on the composition which means you are going to move around more often to get the subject into the proper composition. Despite of the tiredness, this can be advantageous for you because you might get a unique story as you move around and have more interactions with your subject. The most important thing about prime lenses is that it gives you a wider aperture at a cheaper price and also let you shoot more discretely. We can all agree that being discrete or stealth w...

Hey guys! I feel like I want to share short photography tip every Monday starting today. A bit of heads up, I am not a photographer nor I am an expert in this industry. But I'm just gonna share a tiny bit of things that I know of. So for today, street photography tip number 1. First thing that you need to keep in mind while doing street photography is to focus more on what you are trying to capture and the story that you are trying to portray. Don’t spend too much time thinking about the settings of your camera or how you are going to capture them. Why? This is simply because while you are busy dialling all the perfect settings you might missed the perfect shot and action that you have had in your mind. Especially when it involves a moving subject – cars, bicycle, pedestrians, trams – you would have missed the shot hundred percent of the time if had to change your manual settings or tweak everything in your camera. This is when Aperture Priority Mode plays it roles. This mode basic...
