Understand these, and you’ll be ready to delve into the more advanced techniques I discuss later on.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="lighting-quality">Lighting quality</h3> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-258675" style="width:1500px"><span class="space" style="width:1500px; padding-top:56.27%"></span><img decoding="async" width="1500" height="844" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-10.jpg?resize=1500%2C844&ssl=1" alt="Lighting in street photography" class="wp-image-258675 jetpack-lazy-image" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-10.jpg?w=1500&ssl=1 1500w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-10.jpg?resize=300%2C169&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-10.jpg?resize=600%2C338&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-10.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-10.jpg?resize=717%2C403&ssl=1 717w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-10.jpg?resize=1500%2C844&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback="1" decoding="async" width="1500" height="844" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-10.jpg?resize=1500%2C844&ssl=1" alt="Lighting in street photography" class="wp-image-258675" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-10.jpg?w=1500&ssl=1 1500w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-10.jpg?resize=300%2C169&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-10.jpg?resize=600%2C338&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-10.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-10.jpg?resize=717%2C403&ssl=1 717w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></span></figure></div> <p>If you’re set on capturing show-stopping street photos, you can’t afford to ignore lighting quality. The term refers to whether the light is “hard” or “soft,” and understanding these two variations can radically impact your images.</p> <p><strong>Hard Light:</strong> Imagine a sun-drenched afternoon, the kind with sharp shadows on the pavement. This is hard light in all its glory – crisp and intense. The strong contrast generates deep shadows and dazzling highlights. Take a stroll around noon on a clear day, and you’ll see how this light delineates every edge and contour. It’s a double-edged sword, though; the harshness can be unforgiving on faces and can obscure intricate details. So use it wisely.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-258663" style="width:1500px"><span class="space" style="width:1500px; padding-top:66.27%"></span><img decoding="async" width="1500" height="994" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-16.jpg?resize=1500%2C994&ssl=1" alt="Lighting in street photography" class="wp-image-258663 jetpack-lazy-image" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-16.jpg?w=1500&ssl=1 1500w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-16.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-16.jpg?resize=600%2C398&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-16.jpg?resize=768%2C509&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-16.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-16.jpg?resize=115%2C75&ssl=1 115w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-16.jpg?resize=717%2C475&ssl=1 717w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-16.jpg?resize=1500%2C994&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1500" height="994" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-16.jpg?resize=1500%2C994&ssl=1" alt="Lighting in street photography" class="wp-image-258663" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-16.jpg?w=1500&ssl=1 1500w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-16.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-16.jpg?resize=600%2C398&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-16.jpg?resize=768%2C509&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-16.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-16.jpg?resize=115%2C75&ssl=1 115w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-16.jpg?resize=717%2C475&ssl=1 717w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></span></figure></div> <p><strong>Soft Light:</strong> On the flip side, there’s soft light – think early mornings or late afternoons when the sun hugs the horizon. You can also picture an overcast day where clouds diffuse the sunlight. This light is great for bringing out detail and reducing harsh shadows. Soft light provides a subtler range of tones, enabling you to capture the intricacies that are often lost under harder lighting conditions.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-258664" style="width:1500px"><span class="space" style="width:1500px; padding-top:66.67%"></span><img decoding="async" width="1500" height="1000" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-8.jpg?resize=1500%2C1000&ssl=1" alt="Lighting in street photography" class="wp-image-258664 jetpack-lazy-image" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-8.jpg?w=1500&ssl=1 1500w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-8.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-8.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-8.jpg?resize=768%2C512&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-8.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-8.jpg?resize=717%2C478&ssl=1 717w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-8.jpg?resize=1500%2C1000&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1500" height="1000" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-8.jpg?resize=1500%2C1000&ssl=1" alt="Lighting in street photography" class="wp-image-258664" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-8.jpg?w=1500&ssl=1 1500w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-8.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-8.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-8.jpg?resize=768%2C512&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-8.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-8.jpg?resize=717%2C478&ssl=1 717w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></span></figure></div> <p>Bottom line: </p> <p>Knowing when to use hard or soft light can elevate your street photography to a new level. For instance, if you want to showcase gritty realism, hard light can be hugely helpful. But if you’re shooting a street portrait and need more forgiving, flattering illumination, opt for soft light!</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="lighting-direction">Lighting direction</h3> <p>Once you’re in tune with the quality of light, it’s time to start thinking about its direction. Frontlighting, sidelighting, and backlighting – each will uniquely affect your compositions.</p> <p><strong>Frontlighting:</strong> When the light source is behind you, directly illuminating your subject, that’s frontlighting. Frontlight emphasizes bold colors and details. The spotlight is on your subject, making every feature noteworthy. But beware: while frontlight is great for highlighting details and hues, it can sometimes make the scene look flat.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-258665" style="width:1500px"><span class="space" style="width:1500px; padding-top:66.67%"></span><img decoding="async" width="1500" height="1000" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-6.jpg?resize=1500%2C1000&ssl=1" alt="Lighting in street photography" class="wp-image-258665 jetpack-lazy-image" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-6.jpg?w=1500&ssl=1 1500w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-6.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-6.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-6.jpg?resize=768%2C512&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-6.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-6.jpg?resize=717%2C478&ssl=1 717w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-6.jpg?resize=1500%2C1000&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1500" height="1000" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-6.jpg?resize=1500%2C1000&ssl=1" alt="Lighting in street photography" class="wp-image-258665" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-6.jpg?w=1500&ssl=1 1500w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-6.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-6.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-6.jpg?resize=768%2C512&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-6.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-6.jpg?resize=717%2C478&ssl=1 717w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></span></figure></div> <p><strong>Sidelighting:</strong> This type of lighting is three-dimensional. When light strikes your subject from the side, it carves out shapes and shadows, adding a tactile quality to your photos. It’s perfect for emphasizing the contours of buildings, the geometry of a setting, or even the wrinkles on a fascinating face. However, sidelighting can also lead to dark, undefined areas, so balance is key.</p> <div class="pb-ads pb-ads-ruleset-ad pb-ads-all"><div data-fuse="21770336820"></div></div><div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-258673" style="width:1500px"><span class="space" style="width:1500px; padding-top:60.67%"></span><img decoding="async" width="1500" height="910" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-12.jpg?resize=1500%2C910&ssl=1" alt="Lighting in street photography" class="wp-image-258673 jetpack-lazy-image" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-12.jpg?w=1500&ssl=1 1500w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-12.jpg?resize=300%2C182&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-12.jpg?resize=600%2C364&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-12.jpg?resize=768%2C466&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-12.jpg?resize=717%2C435&ssl=1 717w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-12.jpg?resize=1500%2C910&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1500" height="910" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-12.jpg?resize=1500%2C910&ssl=1" alt="Lighting in street photography" class="wp-image-258673" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-12.jpg?w=1500&ssl=1 1500w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-12.jpg?resize=300%2C182&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-12.jpg?resize=600%2C364&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-12.jpg?resize=768%2C466&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-12.jpg?resize=717%2C435&ssl=1 717w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></span></figure></div> <p><strong>Backlighting:</strong> Here, light streams in from behind your subject, outlining them with a luminous glow or even plunging them into silhouette.

The best street photography lighting is <em>all light</em></h3> <p>Here’s the thing about street photography:</p> <p>You can do it at all times of the day, in sun, clouds, rain, sleet, hail, snow, and more.</p> <p>And no matter <em>when </em>you decide to shoot, if you use the light carefully, you can achieve stunning images.</p> <p>Street photography isn’t like landscape photography, where you generally want to shoot in the early morning or late afternoon. And it isn’t like flower photography, where you’ll often benefit from a flat, overcast sky.</p> <p>Instead, street photography is infinitely flexible. Want to shoot in a downpour? Want to shoot at night? It’s possible, and I highly recommend you try it.</p> <p>That said, the best street photographers don’t <em>ignore </em>the light. They learn to work <em>with </em>the light, so that no matter the situation, the light elevates the shot and gives a top-notch result.</p> <p>I recommend you start by asking yourself, as soon as you pull out your camera:</p> <ul> <li>What type of light am I working with?</li> <li>What is the direction of the light?</li> <li>How will the light change over the next few minutes?</li> </ul> <p>Then <em>use </em>your answers, combined with the street lighting tips I share below, to get beautiful photos.</p> <div class="wp-block-image wp-image-82300 size-full"> <figure class="aligncenter"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-82300" style="width:600px"><span class="space" style="width:600px; padding-top:66.67%"></span><img decoding="async" width="600" height="400" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%C2%A9Valerie-Jardin-Light-17.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1" alt="woman in the light on a bus" class="wp-image-82300 jetpack-lazy-image" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-17.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-17.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-17.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%C2%A9Valerie-Jardin-Light-17.jpg?resize=600%2C400&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="600" height="400" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%C2%A9Valerie-Jardin-Light-17.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1" alt="woman in the light on a bus" class="wp-image-82300" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-17.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-17.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-17.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></span><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> </figcaption></figure></div> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="look-for-high-contrast-situations">2.

Shoot at midday for strong shadows</h3> <p>Street photographers love shadows, and for good reason: carefully positioned shadows can look moody, impactful, and just all-around <em>gorgeous</em>.</p> <p>Of course, not all shadows are nice. I’d recommend you get the darkest, most well-defined shadows possible, and you can do that by shooting around noon on clear days. If you can find a well-defined subject or an interesting texture on a sunny day, then the shadows will turn out <em>amazing</em>, like this:</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-82307" style="width:600px"><span class="space" style="width:600px; padding-top:66.67%"></span><img decoding="async" width="600" height="400" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%C2%A9Valerie-Jardin-Light-20.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1" alt="person walking dog amid lines and shadows" class="wp-image-82307 jetpack-lazy-image" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-20.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-20.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-20.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%C2%A9Valerie-Jardin-Light-20.jpg?resize=600%2C400&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="600" height="400" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%C2%A9Valerie-Jardin-Light-20.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1" alt="person walking dog amid lines and shadows" class="wp-image-82307" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-20.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-20.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-20.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></span></figure></div> <p>I’d also recommend you carefully adjust your angle for the best result, and don’t be afraid to wait for an interesting shadow to “move” into position. In the photo above, the dogwalker’s shadow is highly visible on the textured ground – but if it had overlapped with the stairs in the bottom right corner, the result would’ve been messy and the photo would’ve lost a lot of impact.</p> <p>If you’re after long shadows, then shoot early or late in the day. Make sure various shadows don’t overlap and try getting up high for a unique vantage point.</p> <p>Sometimes it’s all about the shadow, and the subject doesn’t even need to be fully included. This approach, when well executed, can add an element of mystery.</p> <p>Pro tip: Find buildings and other features that create interesting shadows, then wait for the right subject to walk by. For instance, I loved the dappled effect of the shadows in this scene, so I waited until a trio of people came through:</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-82290" style="width:600px"><span class="space" style="width:600px; padding-top:66.67%"></span><img decoding="async" width="600" height="400" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%C2%A9Valerie-Jardin-Light-3.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1" alt="people walking in shadows street photography lighting" class="wp-image-82290 jetpack-lazy-image" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-3.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-3.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-3.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%C2%A9Valerie-Jardin-Light-3.jpg?resize=600%2C400&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="600" height="400" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%C2%A9Valerie-Jardin-Light-3.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1" alt="people walking in shadows street photography lighting" class="wp-image-82290" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-3.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-3.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-3.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></span></figure></div> <div class="pb-ads pb-ads-ruleset-ad pb-ads-all"><div data-fuse="21770308876"></div></div><h3 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="turn-off-your-flash">4.

Why? For starters, consider the reach. If you’re trying to illuminate a subject off in the distance away, your onboard flash is about as useful as a flashlight in a football stadium. <em>The power just isn’t there.</em></p> <p>Additionally, the moment you attach a flash to your camera, you become more noticeable. You’ll stick out, and the candid moments you’re after will vanish before your eyes, replaced by a sea of self-conscious, camera-shy individuals.</p> <p>And let’s not forget the aesthetics. A direct flash can create a glaring, unnatural look that robs your image of its subtleties. Instead of a balanced interplay between light and shadow, you’ll be left with a flat, washed-out scene that lacks depth and nuance. (And that’s not to mention the red-eye effects or the disturbing ghost-like pallor that can sometimes appear when you use a flash.)</p> <p>Finally – and perhaps most importantly – you have to think about your subjects. Flash photography in public spaces just isn’t nice for the people you’re photographing. The flash can be startling, and the reactions you get will range from mild irritation to outright confrontation. </p> <p>Bottom line: Use natural light, <em>not </em>flash. It might seem difficult at first, but if you take the time to really get to know natural illumination, the results can be amazing.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="use-gloomy-days-to-add-mood">5.

This creates an evenly lit scene that lends itself beautifully to capturing detail and texture. Plus, a soft, somber light can add a layer of depth and emotion that bright sunlight just can’t match.</p> <p>Gloomy days are also a goldmine for capturing scenes filled with mood and character. Think rainy streets reflecting neon signs, or pedestrians lost in thought, bundled up against the cold. If you’re careful, you can capture images with an introspective quality – a quiet drama that aligns perfectly with the weather.</p> <p>So the next time you see clouds gathering, don’t put your camera away – grab it and head out the door! Moody weather offers a unique aesthetic, and while creating top-notch street photos on cloudy days can be challenging, the rewards can be well worth it!</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="look-for-light-sources-in-the-dark">6.

There are so many interesting light sources to work with, such as street lights, traffic lights, car lights, neon signs, and more. Even bright smartphone screens can illuminate their user’s faces, which makes for a fun shot.</p> <p>But because the light is so limited at night, you’ll need to approach your photos <em>carefully</em>. First, make sure you crank up your <a href="https://digital-photography-school.com/iso-settings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ISO</a>; noise isn’t a big deal in street photography, especially if you’re shooting in black and white, and maintaining a decent <a href="https://digital-photography-school.com/learning-exposure-in-digital-photography/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exposure</a> is more important. I’d recommend using a <a href="https://digital-photography-school.com/shutter-speed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shutter speed</a> of at least 1/60s or so, but don’t worry if you end up with some motion blur.

At night, you can use street lights and the lights from windows, but during the day, you’ll need something more – either light directly from the sun, or from windows/cars/buildings reflecting the sun. That’s why silhouettes are often most effective early or late in the day, when the sun is low in the sky and you can easily place it behind your subject.</p> <p>Finally, when adjusting your <a href="https://digital-photography-school.com/best-street-photography-settings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">camera settings</a>, don’t be afraid to drop the ISO low and crank up the shutter speed <em>ridiculously </em>high until you get the result you want.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="constantly-seek-out-reflections">8.

Or you might use a reflection to create symmetry by “doubling” the scene.</p> <p>If you’re feeling especially adventurous, you can even include a self-portrait reflection in the shot!</p> <p>Also, when you’re photographing window reflections, you can mix the real scene (i.e., the scene <em>behind </em>the window) with the reflection scene for a beautiful result.</p> <div class="wp-block-image wp-image-82296 size-full"> <figure class="aligncenter"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-82296" style="width:600px"><span class="space" style="width:600px; padding-top:100%"></span><img decoding="async" width="600" height="600" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%C2%A9Valerie-Jardin-Light-12.jpg?resize=600%2C600&ssl=1" alt="person walking near glass" class="wp-image-82296 jetpack-lazy-image" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-12.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-12.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-12.jpg?resize=300%2C300&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-12.jpg?resize=50%2C50&ssl=1 50w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%C2%A9Valerie-Jardin-Light-12.jpg?resize=600%2C600&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="600" height="600" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%C2%A9Valerie-Jardin-Light-12.jpg?resize=600%2C600&ssl=1" alt="person walking near glass" class="wp-image-82296" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-12.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-12.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-12.jpg?resize=300%2C300&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-12.jpg?resize=50%2C50&ssl=1 50w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></span><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> </figcaption></figure></div> <div class="pb-ads pb-ads-ruleset-ad pb-ads-all"><div data-fuse="21770337363"></div></div><h3 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="head-out-on-rainy-days">9. Head out on rainy days</h3> <p>Yes, rainy days are often cold and wet and uncomfortable. But they can provide some of the absolute best street photography opportunities, so whatever you do, <em>don’t </em>leave your camera at home when the forecast predicts bad weather.</p> <p>Why? For one, people on the streets behave very differently when it’s raining, which can lead to interesting situations. You’ll see people running with newspapers over their heads, you’ll see people walking with umbrellas, and you’ll see them huddling under bus stops and awnings.</p> <p>Plus, the raindrops can add mist and atmosphere to otherwise bland scenes – and you can take this further by doing some selective focusing through windows, car windshields, bus-stop walls, and more. It’s how I got this shot:</p> <div class="wp-block-image wp-image-82298 size-full"> <figure class="aligncenter"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-82298" style="width:600px"><span class="space" style="width:600px; padding-top:66.67%"></span><img decoding="async" width="600" height="400" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%C2%A9Valerie-Jardin-Light-6.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1" alt="artistic shot with raindrops on a pane of glass" class="wp-image-82298 jetpack-lazy-image" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-6.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-6.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-6.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%C2%A9Valerie-Jardin-Light-6.jpg?resize=600%2C400&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="600" height="400" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%C2%A9Valerie-Jardin-Light-6.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1" alt="artistic shot with raindrops on a pane of glass" class="wp-image-82298" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-6.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-6.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-6.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></span><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> </figcaption></figure></div> <p>One caveat: Rain and electronics don’t mix, so you’ll need to carefully protect your gear from the water.

During the golden hours, you’ll need to determine the direction of the sun, then position yourself for interesting backlighting, sidelighting, or even frontlighting. As I mentioned above, the golden hours work well for silhouettes, and you can also get nice reflections off of cars and windows.</p> <p>During the blue hour, you’ll want to increase your ISO for a decent exposure. Then do what you can to capture a cool, ethereal look in your photos, like this:</p> <div class="wp-block-image wp-image-82311 size-full"> <figure class="aligncenter"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-82311" style="width:600px"><span class="space" style="width:600px; padding-top:66.17%"></span><img decoding="async" width="600" height="397" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%C2%A9Valerie-Jardin-Light-22.jpg?resize=600%2C397&ssl=1" alt="silhouette kids at the beach blue-hour lighting" class="wp-image-82311 jetpack-lazy-image" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-22.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-22.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-22.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-22.jpg?resize=115%2C75&ssl=1 115w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%C2%A9Valerie-Jardin-Light-22.jpg?resize=600%2C397&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="600" height="397" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%C2%A9Valerie-Jardin-Light-22.jpg?resize=600%2C397&ssl=1" alt="silhouette kids at the beach blue-hour lighting" class="wp-image-82311" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-22.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-22.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-22.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/©Valerie-Jardin-Light-22.jpg?resize=115%2C75&ssl=1 115w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></span><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> </figcaption></figure></div> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" data-section id="crank-up-your-iso">11. Crank up your ISO</h3> <p>A higher ISO setting will let you shoot at faster shutter speeds, guaranteeing sharper images and allowing you to use a narrower aperture.</p> <p>So why are photographers often hesitant to crank up the ISO? It’s because higher ISO settings introduce more noise, those grainy specks that don’t look great. But here’s the thing: In street photography, that grittiness can actually lend a textured, authentic feel to your shots. The grain becomes part of the story, adding character to what might otherwise be a sterile, overly polished image.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><span class="responsive-image wp-image-258670" style="width:1500px"><span class="space" style="width:1500px; padding-top:66.67%"></span><img decoding="async" width="1500" height="1000" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-11.jpg?resize=1500%2C1000&ssl=1" alt="Lighting in street photography" class="wp-image-258670 jetpack-lazy-image" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-11.jpg?w=1500&ssl=1 1500w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-11.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-11.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-11.jpg?resize=768%2C512&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-11.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-11.jpg?resize=717%2C478&ssl=1 717w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-11.jpg?resize=1500%2C1000&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1500" height="1000" src="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-11.jpg?resize=1500%2C1000&ssl=1" alt="Lighting in street photography" class="wp-image-258670" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-11.jpg?w=1500&ssl=1 1500w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-11.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-11.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-11.jpg?resize=768%2C512&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-11.jpg?resize=90%2C60&ssl=1 90w, https://i0.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/street-photography-lighting-11.jpg?resize=717%2C478&ssl=1 717w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></span></figure></div> <p>Now, how high should you go?
