<\/figure>\n\n\n\nDocument social street photography, by making photos of scenes and scenarios which upset or resonate with you. For example it upsets me when I see families all addicted to their phones, so I choose to document this in order to critique it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get your own foot or your own shadow in the shot! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Like the engine cockpit of an Audi R8:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whenever possible walk. Walking more will allow you to witness more, and thus witness more things you’d like to photograph! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Indecision is the enemy. If you see something you find even marginally interesting, just shoot it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t just shoot 1 or 2 photos of the scene. Shoot a lot, and determine later which is your favorite image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Also discover the best composition as you’re shooting it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Photograph at the beach or bodies of water. One of the best ways to clear your mind and also to think philosophically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Often the most interesting photo moments are when you look up! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Perfection is boring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mix it up! Use a camera app like HUJI<\/a>, and put on the random light leaks, scratches, dust marks, etc. I think what makes a beautiful photo is grit, texture<\/a>, and imperfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It seems the best use of our money is to buy experiences, not stuff. This means instead of spending $1000 on a new iPhone use that money to travel, buy photo books, or invest in experiences. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Practical thoughts on why iPhone is the best camera:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":154660,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_ek_photo_artist_note":"","_ek_photo_thesis":"","_ek_photo_camera":"","_ek_photo_place":"","_ek_photo_human_moment":"","_ek_photo_sequence":"","_ek_photo_question":"","_ek_photo_canonical_claim":"","_ek_photo_ai_summary":"","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-154989","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-posts"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/D54455EB-1A9A-4527-BDE5-68E0EC68C683.jpeg?fit=4032%2C3024&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154989","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=154989"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154989\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":155024,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154989\/revisions\/155024"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/154660"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=154989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=154989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=154989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/D54455EB-1A9A-4527-BDE5-68E0EC68C683-2000x1500.jpeg?resize=1180%2C885&ssl=1\")
