When I look at my most successful street portraits<\/a>, they are all shot with a 28mm<\/a> on RICOH GR II<\/a>, in macro mode (hyper close to subjects). This gives your viewer the impression that they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re standing right next to the subjects of the photos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even when photographing ordinary things, get super close to whatever you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re photographing to highlight the details!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
