(A.g.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s note: I asked some of the folks over at Streettogs Academy<\/a> what part of their street photography they want to improve on. One of the many things that popped up was people are still shy going out to shoot or finding interesting places to shoot in. Hopefully this article gives you new ideas on where to shoot)<\/em><\/p>\n

The best way to become good at something is if it becomes second nature. You have to constantly build habits and the right attitudes so you can turn something on and be in the zone when you need to. That principle applies to street photography.<\/p>\n

If you are still uncomfortable venturing out in the streets, here are some places that can be a great venue to take street photographs without the fear of being hollered upon or confronted so you can concentrate on practicing and making images and not be wary of other things.<\/p>\n

1) Anime\/Gaming conventions<\/h2>\n

Cosplay and\/or gaming conventions are full of characters. These places are great since most cosplayers don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mind getting photographed. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d go out to say that most of them want to be photographed with their heavily prepared and well made outfits. I suggest get them at their candid moments to separate yourself from other photographers shooting. But if you are into portraiture, feel free to ask them to pose and look at your camera.<\/p>\n

Extra tip:<\/strong> Prepare to give out contact details since some of the cosplayers will ask where they can see your photos and if they can have a copy of it themselves.<\/p>\n
