Tip 7 of 10: Think about the contrasts

Contrasts are definitely one of the key elements in street photography. Use them. Some hints for you: dark clothes on the white background and vice versa, clothes of the person that are similar to the road sign, parked or driving car, advertisement poster that are close to this person, behind or in front of the person, etc.




There can be also interesting contrasts between the age, sex and material status of people on the street (young vs old, men vs women, rich vs poor, etc.).

Sun or any light that comes direct in front of you and your camera (i.e. backlight) can be also used for creative purposes in photography. If the light comes directly on the street, shoot against it and you will get interesting photos with silhouettes of people and shadows.
