Aside from this blog, Shoot New York City also has a newsletter which comes out twice a month that you can read at your leisure. I started writing it more than 5 years ago and it provides tips and information about street photography, and of course NYC! You can subscribe here.

 
Switching it up is good

When was the last time that changed the way you shoot? One really good method to alter the way you shoot is to shoot film for awhile. You can see how much you rely on previews when shooting digital and the look of film is entirely different.

Steam in the city

People often confuse steam with smoke. But it would be a challenge to think that street photos with steam were taken anywhere aside from New York City. This photo was taken during a street photography workshop in Hell’s Kitchen on a cold day.

Drive-by shooting

As an impatient person, I can’t wait to shoot. That is how I started shooting from a moving vehicle. It’s one of my favorite methods. So much is left to chance. This photo was taken from a moving taxi in Lisbon, Portugal.

People walk into the frame

People often comment about how I get photos of people that are so close to the camera. I don’t move in towards them, I stand in one place and they walk into the frame. People on the streets often don’t pay attention. This is an exercise that we do during street photography workshops.
