<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you see an interesting person or scene, keep shooting until your subject notices you, and makes eye contact<\/a> with you (the lingering technique<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. One-eye composition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nI learned this when watching the film ‘Godfather<\/a>‘:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make more dramatic images, only show one eye of your subject.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
3. Ask your subject to look different directions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhen you’re shooting street portraits<\/a>, and when you ask for permission, direct your subject:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ask your subject to look up, down, left, right.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Later when you go home, select the photograph you prefer the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/eric-kim-tokyo-street-photography-2017-0151979-2000x1325.jpg?resize=2000%2C1325\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe cutoff technique<\/a> is when your subject is walking towards you, and you want to shoot super-close<\/a>. What you do is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walk across your subject and photograph them head-on.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
If you want to make a more dramatic composition, combine both<\/em> the cut-off technique while crouching super low<\/a> (the moment you shoot the photo).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Shoot inside restaurants \/ bars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/eric-kim-street-photography-tokyo-2018-color-3-2000x1325.jpg?resize=2000%2C1325\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor the above photo, I was walking on the streets of Tokyo, and saw all these interesting guys inside. I poked my head in really quick, shot a few photos with my RICOH GR II<\/a>, then left and kept walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To clarify,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you’re walking on the streets, and you see open doors for restaurants and bars, you can step inside really quickly, shoot a few photos, then quickly leave (before someone tells you to leave or threatens to kick you out).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
6. Extreme dutch angle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ERIC-KIM-TOKYO-PHOTOGRAPHY-2017-0152493-1325x2000.jpg?resize=1325%2C2000\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nShot on RICOH GR II at 28mm<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you see an interesting subject really far away, put them in the corner of the frame, and do an extreme tilt (extreme dutch angle<\/a>).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
By integrating this extreme dutch angle, you will create extreme drama and extreme dynamic composition in your photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Aggressive flash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ERIC-KIM-TOKYO-PHOTOGRAPHY-2017-0152746-2000x1325.jpg?resize=2000%2C1325\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nI am a huge fan of street photography with a flash<\/a>. To be frank, if you shoot with a flash, you must be aggressive<\/a>. But you can be both<\/em> aggressive and<\/em> friendly when you’re shooting street photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example the above photo, while I’m going down the escalator, I shot the photo of the woman with a flash. She actually apologized to me, and I smiled and told her, “Oh no problem!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8. Finger pointing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ERIC-KIM-TOKYO-PHOTOGRAPHY-2017-0150691-2000x1325.jpg?resize=2000%2C1325\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAnother realization when studying Godfather (in Part 1<\/a> and Part 2<\/a>), moments of heightened drama come from finger-pointing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you’re shooting street photography, wait, and linger, and keep shooting when you see interesting hand gestures, or people pointing fingers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9. Compliment your subject while<\/em> you’re shooting them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/eric-kim-street-photography-tokyo-2018-color-98-1336x2000.jpg?resize=1336%2C2000\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou don’t always need to ask for permission<\/a> when shooting street photography. What you can do is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you find an interesting subject, start shooting away, and start chatting with your subject while<\/em> you’re photographing them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
