Street photography begins with curiosity. Walk slowly, keep your camera ready and learn to anticipate moments before they happen. Look for strong light, interesting backgrounds and gestures that tell a story. Be respectful, smile, and never stop a moment just to take a picture. The best images often appear in the most ordinary places.

Window light is a portrait photographer's best friend. Place your subject at a slight angle to the window and watch the shadows model the face. Use a white card or a piece of fabric to bounce soft light back into the shadows. Keep conversation going to keep expressions natural. Simple tools and patience produce timeless results.

Removing colour changes what a photograph is about. Shape, texture and contrast become the story. Look for strong light and clear subjects, and try shooting with a monochrome preview to train your eye. Black and white is less a filter and more a way of seeing.
