Street Photography
Hello everyone. Having never written a blog before, and as someone who has never been very active on social media, I am going to find this a real challenge but I'm going to throw myself into it anyway and just do it. Ok, so, in the absence of any weddings or social events to photograph, I've taken my camera out into the street to take pictures of ordinary people going about their business. I use a small Fujifilm mirrorless camera for my street photography and it's very discreet but I still never know whether to just go for it or whether to do it subtly without anyone being aware. At first it's really daunting, do I risk offending anybody or just carry on. So I've just been boldly getting on with it with a few subtle ones thrown in and people generally don't notice or they don't mind and I'm still in one piece. I'm growing in confidence and just pointing it in all directions and so far so good. Although at the moment during lockdown there's not many people about but I have recently been out and about locally and in Central London. I've been on buses, trains and tubes and it's brilliant for capturing people being real. So hopefully in a few weeks I'll be able to get out there again and get amongst it and see what happens. Let's hope there will be some weddings to photograph at some point this year. Speak soon
