EP 57 - Street Photography in Short Bursts: Shoot Less, See More
I’m not unhappy with my photography — but I know I want more from it. In this episode, I’m stripping it all back and going back to basics with my street photography. I talk about how I’m shaking things up by shooting in shorter, sharper bursts. Less wandering, more intention. Less waiting, more wakefulness. It’s a mindset shift that’s already helping me reconnect with what I love about raw street photography — that edge, that unpredictability, that honesty.
I’ve switched to a 20mm lens (13mm on the Fuji), which has completely changed the way I shoot. Wide angle lenses force you to get close and be deliberate — no hiding, no laziness. It’s a decision that’s reinvigorating my entire approach to Fuji photography.
Plus: one quote from Susan Sontag that hit me like a freight train, and a reminder that feeling unbalanced might be the best place to start.
