I prefer to walk very slowly on the street, taking in all the detail around me.
Slow and steady wins the race
Every moment is fleeting, but the slower you walk, the more prepared you are to photograph. I find this to be the best way to operate on the street. It’s practical to walk really slowly. I find myself making more pictures and remaining even more curious.
Enter the flow state
Move your body at a pace that is 50% slower than everybody else. This allows you to enter this flow state that I believe all street photographers seek to achieve.
