Face Street Photography

For more effective street photos, try to include the face of the subject in your photos. And as a plus– add your own photo into the frame too!

The difficulty of getting faces in photos during COVID times

Shooting street photography during COVID is tricky– but insofar much as you can, try to get their faces in the photo.

A tip I have is this:

Compliment people on their face masks, and put the focus *AWAY* from their face.

And the funny thing is in some ways… because people are now wearing face masks, people become more anonymous. So the notion of photographing the faces of people to ‘steal their identity’ or whatever is less of a concern to most people.

So as a simple street photography assignment:

Shoot more faces!
