Embrace the autotelic approach to practicing street photography. It’s important to enjoy the process itself and find yourself making photographs for the sake of making photographs.
Take your time
Photography requires time. It can oftentimes take months or even years for you to make your first successful photograph. This is important to recognize because the process itself can feel like a means to no end at times. Learn to approach the medium at your own pace and enjoy the process while doing so. Photograph each day, but don’t expect anything.
The experience is the reward
Sometimes we think that the pictures are the whole reason why we make them in the first place. I say, the experience is more critical to consider. Are you enjoying yourself on the street? If so, you’re winning! The point is, focus on making pictures for yourself and enjoy the experience while you are actually out there. The reward is the experience, not the photograph.
