Show Notes

• Timing is important, sometimes you need to wait.
• Look for how geometry can make an image more interesting.
• Don’t just stand straight up. Move around to get variety and more unique shots.
• Some shots come together because of good luck.
• The Rule of Thirds isn’t really a “rule” it’s a guideline.
• Be ready to take advantage of good lighting and setups.
• You don’t need golden hour lighting to get a good image.
• If you’re in another country, don’t just take photos without interacting with anyone and ruin the atmosphere. Take the time to interact with people. Don’t be a jerk!!
• Take your interactions with someone as a gift.
• Always make sure you use common sense and street smart, but make sure that you leave yourself open to unique, spontaneous opportunities.
