Get closer to your subjects. Try more ambitious compositions, like layers, getting more depth, using wider angle lenses (like <a href=\"http:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2018\/04\/18\/how-to-shoot-street-photography-with-a-24mm-lens\/\">24mm<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2017\/02\/02\/how-to-shoot-street-photography-with-a-28mm-lens\/\">28mm<\/a>, or <a href=\"http:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2018\/01\/11\/how-to-shoot-street-photography-on-a-35mm-lens\/\">35mm<\/a>). This means interacting with your subjects more, asking for permission, or being more <a href=\"http:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2017\/06\/29\/street-photography-manual-by-eric-kim-how-to-be-more-aggressive\/\">aggressive<\/a> in your street photography and &#8220;working the scene&#8221; by shooting 25% more than you think you should.<\/p>\n<p>Above all, don&#8217;t let your gear or equipment be a deterrent or distraction to you. Which means, you can shoot (today) more ambitiously, more brazenly, and take riskier composition chances without buying any new camera or equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Use your phone, and constantly experiment with new approaches in your photography. Shoot different subject matter, capture different emotions in your photography, and always seek to master photography for yourself!<\/p>\n<p>BE BOLD,<br \/>\nERIC<\/p>\n<p>Master photography for yourself: <a href=\"http:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/product\/masters-volume-i-mobile\/\">LEARN FROM THE MASTERS MOBILE EDITION VOLUME I<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear friend, one of the best ways to stay motivated in your photography is this: shoot more ambitiously!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":85932,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-86069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-posts"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/eric-kim-street-photography-tokyo-2018-1000260-scaled.jpg?fit=3712%2C2480&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86069","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=86069"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86069\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":86074,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86069\/revisions\/86074"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/85932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
