The approaches and techniques of famous street photographers, focusing on their mindset, methods, and unique visions. It describes how some photographers, such as Melissa O’Shaughnessy, conquer their fears to capture authentic images, while others like Dimpy Bhalotia emphasize quick reactions and invisibility. Techniques such as using black and white photography, understanding local culture, and employing natural light are highlighted. The use of candid moments and the importance of being a “fly on the wall” are also detailed.
  

Key Points: 

  1. Approaches and Techniques Vary Among Street Photographers: While some focus on storytelling or character-driven narratives, others emphasize themes or rapid responses to fleeting moments. Each photographer’s style and technique contribute to the story they want to tell.
  2. Conquering Fear and Becoming Invisible: Being unobtrusive and overcoming the fear of photographing strangers in public are common themes. Melissa O’Shaughnessy discusses overcoming shyness, and Dimpy Bhalotia speaks about the need to be quick and unnoticed.
  3. Artistic Considerations like Color and Composition: The article touches on artistic considerations such as black and white photography, use of natural light, and focusing on color theory, as seen in Paul Kessler’s “Q-Train” photo.
  4. Understanding the Environment and Subjects: Several photographers emphasize the need to understand local culture and to be in tune with the environment. Sensitivity to light, shadows, and human moments contribute to capturing the essence of the scene.
  5. Use of Technology and Tools: The article mentions different tools used by photographers, from traditional cameras to smartphones like Dina Alfasi’s iPhone, highlighting that the choice of tool can have an impact on the candidness and style of the photos.
