Less cable and chord to get in your way.<\/p>\n<h3>a. Off-camera flash<\/h3>\n<p>I shot with a digital Leica and Film Leica MP, with and Leica SF 20 flash.<\/p>\n<p>For a digital Leica, just use 1\/125 shutter speed, ISO 400, aperture at f16 and just adjust the power of the flash depending on your distance. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d usually use 1\/8 flash power when close to my subjects, and increase it to 1\/4 or 1\/2 power when the subjects were a bit further away. For a film Leica, the same applies, except you are limited to 1\/50th shutter speed.<\/p>\n<h3>b. On-camera flash<\/h3>\n<p>For other digital cameras, just shoot with the integrated flash (if your camera has it) or with the pop-up flash (if your camera has it). Otherwise, buy the smallest possible flash, and use TTL (through the lens, automatic flash setting) if possible.<\/p>\n<p>For myself, I will use the digital Ricoh GR with the integrated flash, in P mode, and ISO 1600. I let camera and flash do the thinking for me. I just focus on shooting.<\/p>\n<h3>c. Why shoot with a flash in street photography?<\/h3>\n<p>The common misconception is that shooting with a flash <em>causes<\/em> reactions. This is false. Any \u00e2\u20ac\u0153reaction\u00e2\u20ac\u009d you get in a street photo (of people looking shocked or scared) is because of their reaction of you <em>about<\/em> to shoot their photo. Therefore, your subject sees you lifting your camera, and about to shoot a photo. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re really fast in street photography, your subject would <em>not<\/em> react to you.<\/p>\n<p>For me, I like a flash in street photography because it causes the subject to pop from the background. It creates a stronger \u00e2\u20ac\u0153<a href=\"http:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2017\/02\/26\/photography-composition-tip-figure-to-ground\/\">figure to ground<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d composition. Not only that, but it freezes the subject. And if you want the background to look blurry, shoot with a slower shutter speed (like 1\/15th second).<\/p>\n<h2>4. Shoot head-on<\/h2>\n<p>Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t shoot the back of people\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s heads in street photogrpahy. They are boring. Faces are more interesting.<\/p>\n<p>To study head-on street photos shot with a wide angle lens, like a <a href=\"http:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2017\/02\/02\/how-to-shoot-street-photography-with-a-28mm-lens\/\">28mm<\/a> lens, study <a href=\"http:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2012\/08\/20\/10-things-garry-winogrand-can-teach-you-about-street-photography\/\">Garry Winogrand<\/a>. The man had huevos of steel.<\/p>\n<p>To shoot head-on, try the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153cut-off\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Technique (also learned from my buddy Charlie Kirk). The concept is if you see someone interesting on the streets, you first walk to their side, and when they are about to cross you, you cross them diagonally. Therefore you shoot \u00e2\u20ac\u0153head on\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, almost bumping into them. But then you cross them, and you keep walking.<\/p>\n<p>Now, this is a very aggressive technique in street photography. I generally don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t recommend it to beginners, or folks with social anxiety. It is also very hard with a 28mm or a 35mm lens. You gotta get very close to get intense, exciting, and dramatic photos.<\/p>\n<p>But generally speaking, <strong>avoid shooting people from behind.<\/strong> The back of people\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s heads are not interesting. As humans, we are always drawn to human faces. Human faces show emotion, expression, anxiety, fear, disgust, happinesss, joy, elatement, and excitement.<\/p>\n<h2>5. 360-Degree Technique<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_58893\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58893\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"58893\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2017\/07\/23\/how-to-make-great-photos\/eric-kim-photography-sapa-2017-0006987-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/eric-kim-photography-sapa-2017-0006987-2.jpg?fit=3264%2C4928&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3264,4928\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;GR II&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1486900321&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;ERIC KIM PHOTOGRAPHY&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;18.3&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0013333333333333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"eric kim photography sapa-2017-0006987\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Sapa, 2017.
