Miami Street Photography

I spent las Sunday walking around Calle Ocho in Miami taking some street photos. I decided to make it a challenge and only use my phone. This was incredibly fun. Sometimes we get so caught up thinking that we need our expensive cameras to take great photos, the fact is that your phone is a great camera. Its not about the camera but about creating incredible images.

“They call me the captain of Calle Ocho” he told me after I took this photo. He was great and fun tha chat with afterwards.

I edit all my images with my Lightroom Presets download them and give them a try. I do private Photo tours in Miami. If you are interested you can arrange it here or use my contact page to get in touch.

Street Photography

In my opinion street photography is one of the hardest forms of the art. It is scary out on the streets, not only that but you have to be like a ninja and have some big balls. I sometimes go out and shoot street, it tests all my senses and helps me understand a bit more about the world. I think this is the best way to sharpen your photography skills no matter what kind of photographer you are.

I’ve been doing lots of street photography lately, working on another crazy project and I must say it is so much fun. Unscripted, on the fly, crazy, spontaneous and simply interesting. Its kind of crazy to go out there and get so close to people because you never know how they are going to react. Walking up to someone and getting close takes some (you know what) not only that, but you only get one shot to get it right. I was about 24 inches away from this mans face, he didn’t seem to mind, though I have had some crazy experiences (a homeless man chased after me with a 2×4 a while back). Here is a shot from the other night. Enjoy…
