If you find street photography hard in a small British town, you have no idea how hard street photography is in a North American suburb where people only walk to get out of their cars and cross one of the endless parking lots that litter our cities.

The best Tip i realised a few months ago: take your camera everywhere. I often left my canon 6d at home because it is heavy and feels like a "burden". I solved my problem by getting a small m4/3 camera with a pancake lens and now it is with me nearly every time! No missed oppurtunities anymore :)

Yep 100%! A small every day carry is essential to never miss an opportunity and I actually don’t really have one at the moment. I’m torn between getting an iPhone 15 or a Ricoh griii. Only thing putting me off the Ricoh is battery life (and wish it was weather sealed)

Might sound silly, but perhaps this is an excuse to buy something with a waist level viewfinder. This almost certainly means film (which some of us crazy folk love) and I have a Rolleiflex 3.5F and several Bronica ETRSi cameras for precisely this reason, being very reluctant to stick cameras in people's faces. For me, shooting these older cameras is a joy in itself, along with all the wonderful inconveniences they bring, when compared to modern cameras (which I love too!). Cheers and good luck from Sydney - Dave

Tip for you from a former paparazzi, have your camera waist level with a screen that can be tilted or flipped up. Stand slightly angled towards the place you are trying to photograph, try not to dress too conspicuous. Stop using large cameras, use a smaller one with a smaller lens too draw less attention. If you still get attention, tell them you are tourist in broken accent. If you really want to photograph sensitive places, use those tiny pocket cameras with very long zoom, stand as far back as possible, use reflections to take picture of stuff behind you, not ideal but sometimes it can be the only way, like large windows or even bring yourself a small mirror. But most importantly, never ever photograph near schools, kindergartens, hospitals or police stations.

Fred Herzog was a photographer shooting street scenes in Vancouver, Canada, during the fifties and sixties, when Vancouver was essentially a small town surrounded by beautiful scenery. Most art photographers would have focused on landscape. He also shot in colour which was not fashionable for art photography at the time. He used many of the techniques you mention to perfectly capture the Vancouver of that era - neon lights reflected in the rain, kids dressed in their “old clothes” playing in front of typical corner stores, wide open near-deserted streets in downtown spaces that are now filled with high rises. Initially, his work was overlooked but nowadays his photos are cherished and prints sell for high prices. The mountains, ocean and (to a lesser extent) forests are still here, but the places and ambience that Fred caught on film only survive in his photos and the vague memories of people like me who grew up here. All of which is simply to agree that photos of even the most seemingly boring urban environments, if well executed, can have immeasurable lasting value. Keep up the good work.

That Albert Heijn bag with the ‘hell is eternal guy’ is priceless.

I have NEVER, in my 72 years of life, found any place where I couldn't find something interesting. Even if it was just a leaf, a pebble or a piece of wood. Nothing is mundane if you treat it with respect.

I love what you said "Street photography is documenting life, in the future we'll be able to look back on what once was" This really hits it because even though we can create such dynamic beautiful interesting photos in the future it will all be photo documentation of life. Even if we don't see something super special about it now, in the future we will.

good tips Tim, I remember the American photographer Paul Strand once said the possibility to make great photos can happen within 100 meters of your front door. You don't have to travel to exotic places to find great pics. One of my favourite books is The World From My Front Porch by Larry Towell. Gorgeous work taken on his family farm.

Your tip about being prepared is probably the most important for me. As a 35mm guy who prefers antique mechanical SLRs (still on the hunt for a good quality affordable rangefinder) , preparation is absolutely EVERYTHING to me, especially with street photography or candid shots. So many things have to be set beforehand in order for me to get that shot I want-- focus, aperture, shutter speed, exposure "push/pull", framing... If one of those is off, the shot I wanted can just be *poof* gone. Excellent video, Tim. Great advice for beginners and experts alike.

It is boring for me because is not a place that offers a variety of activities to do and it is a small place compare with huge cities. There is always something new to photograph. We need to observe and look for other things to photograph. I usually create a topic. Example today I want to photograph old buildings or Abstract photography, etc.

Cogent, concise, well thought out and illustrated, experience based advice, Tim. Down to earth B roll as well. Friendly host who doesn’t talk down to viewers - nice. Old adage says there are good photos to be taken everywhere but they are mixed in with bad photos everywhere, also. Well practiced skill set needed to sort them out. Your vid helps the vetting. Knowing your territory lets you identify photo “hot spots” like posters for proximity images. Events make for great photo ops - craft shows, pet events, holiday markets, etc - everywhere. They are my favorite. Minor nit-pick for this one - “focus breathing” effect among different takes, a bit distracting. Cheers!

So, while I do agree that you can find something to shoot virtually anywhere. These tips don't really work for a lot of small towns. They work for small cities, larger towns with lots of buildings. But, the problem at least here in the US, there's a lot of really, really small towns. Some of them are nice and have a great downtown and a lot to look at. Some of them have literally nothing. No sidewalks, no parks, no town to speak of other than a store, maybe 2. So there's not really anything to shoot. I lived in an area like that. I did my best to always find something to shoot but it was really, really hard. Like damn near impossible. Middle of no where towns I think are where most of people "I have nothing to shoot because where I live is boring," comes from.

I traveled to nearby towns, took my camera to work, made the best with opportunities I had available. I think encouraging people who really want those shots is a far better way to go about that. The photos you showed just weren't of boring places in my opinion. Those buildings were beautiful. It honestly looked like cool places to take photos.

Thank you! That’s a great way of approaching it, if you look to improve one thing each time you go out, you slowly get better without getting overwhelmed :)

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed :)

I needed this i feel as i have to be somewhere vibrant to shoot cause my location is boring AF. But thanks to your perspective I'm going out with the kids to the park and then start moving around in the area applying your techniques with some patience THANK YOU

This video, the delivery of it all, is so good I'm bookmarking it to share with future students of photography. Patience helps too, presently shooting city jackdaws, a lot of waiting gives a lot of results, come spring it's Huawei P20 Pro street time with the glorious mono-sensor.

Thank you! I’m glad you think so 🙏🏻

Creative framing is a good starting point for beginner street photographers, It also makes your photos look like you’re a beginner street photographer. 😂

I absolutely enjoyed every photo you've taken, thank you so very much for inspiration! I recently bought a smartphone with pretty decent camera (OPPO find x6 pro) and wanna shoot more, it got me into photography. Maybe Id buy some smol camera in the future, but I firm believer that tool that you work with is kinda secondary, especially if it's just a hobby.

Ha that’s very kind of you, glad to hear you’ve found my videos useful. And absolutely, start off with your phone and if you do it for a while and really enjoy it maybe invest in a camera :)
