I’m so pleased that the art of photography has become such a cathartic medium for you.
I think your 27mm focal length is a great choice for street photography. Much of my protest work, which o class as a kind of street photography was shot at 24-35mm. I know what you mean about getting close and the camera sometimes becoming a barrier between photographer and subject. I like to interact with the scene, capturing a moment but inserting the observer as part of it. Liked your method of shooting from the hip and wonder if you have tried holding the camera just below your eye line so you are making eye contact with the subject rather than being obscured by liking through the viewfinder? May help with diffusing that initial shock of having a camera pointed at you.
I look forward to your next photographic articles and to how your photographic journey progresses.
Ps- you never need to ‘choose’ a particular style. Do whatever feels right to you! You have a great eye. 🤙🏻
Thank you Kerry for dropping a comment and for one of the warmest encouragements I have received. Very kind from your side;) This is a fantastic idea of having a camera just below the eye level. I have never explored this approach of taking photos. Finally, I really enjoy photography and it often puts me into the state of inner radiance, even bliss. Looking forward to read and exchange with you here. Take care and shoot well!:)
Beautifully written Davor!
