I believe that getting a good street photograph is 80% balls and 20% skill.

It is because they get close to their subjects—uncomfortably close by most people’s standards.
One of the most popular questions I am asked by the community is how to build courage when it comes to street photography. I have learned a ton over the last several years about building the guts to get extremely close to people and take their photograph without their permission. In this blog post I will go in-depth about how you can become a fearless street photographer.
