Quick Tips for Street Photography for Beginners

Beginners if you did not know how to shoot or photographs STREET PHOTOGRAPHY then just don't worry , here I'm going to tell you some basic idea or tips to handle such type of problem in STREET PHOTOGRAPHY.

• First of all you don't need to carry too much equipments and expensive gears.It will make you more comfortable and you can roam around the street for your best shoot.
• Take photos by without knowing that you are taking photos of that particular subject/people.It will make your photo realistic.
• Catch the stolen moments (ex: kissing,hugging,crying,smiling face,begging etc etc) .  
• True colors are even more better than black and white photographs , so you can take pictures in true color as well as in black and white . It will give life to Street Photographs.
• In the Background – what’s going on behind your subject can actually ‘make’ the shot. Billboards, signs, graffiti and other visual elements can really make a statement in a shot.
• You don't just hold your camera horizontally dare to go for a diagonal ,experiment with your angle.
• A POWERFUL SHOT-   Shots which are challenge the Composition Rule and story/subject can also be powerful.
• street performers, parades and other street entertainment can be great subject matter on the street. 
• You can go for place where people r gather like zoos, fairs, shows, parks, sporting events etc.
• Can also try FREEZE MOTION SHOTS the street is a place of movement – to capture it and still get sharp shots make sure your shutter speed is fast enough. 1/125 or more with an ISO of 400 is what this article recommended as a base. I also think it can be fun to experiment with slower shutter speeds on the street – capture the movement as blur.
• ONE Important thing let me tell you about this - people can be suspicious of street photographers so shoot in places where people expect to see people doing photography. Smile, be polite and be willing to delete images if people protest.

And last its all about location chose a proper location where people are gather and Practice makes perfect by day passing n by your practice you can be a good STREET PHOTOGRAPHER .
