not hold the camera up to you face and in many instances you are, literally, shooting from the hip. Inevitably, this creates wonky horizons, buildings darting off at odd angles and people cropped at the knees or across the neck. But what this way of shooting teaches you is that these oddities sometimes make for enormously strong and dynamic pictures! Top tip for starting on the street Street photography takes some courage -- and does involve risks. But a good place to start is in environments where people are otherwise distracted. Parades, spectator events, crossing the road... at these times your subjects are not looking at you and their concentration is elsewhere. Great photographers like Joel Meyerowitz started in just this manner. If you're looking for an everyday adventure, why not give it a try. You might just find it's right up your street.
