Points of view

Consider shooting from

different angles when

photographing street

scenes. You could head

to a high vantage point

for an unusual view that

will set your shots apart

from those taken at

street level.

Street photography is at once the hardest and easiest genre. Everybody
has access to a subject – just step outside – but not everybody can
produce skilful work. Spotting the extraordinary within the mundane is
what makes great photographs stand out. Take a look at Henri
Cartier-Bresson, Robert Doisneau and Vivian Maier. More
contemporary practitioners include Martin Parr, Niall McDiarmid and
Nick Turpin, so look them all up to see what works – and what doesn’t.
