I believe walking slowly can improve your street photography. The slower you walk, the more that you will see, and ultimately the more that you will photograph. Walk 50% slower than everybody else on the street.
It’s easy to get caught up with the tempo of other people on the street and to follow the beat of their feet. I’m guilty of this too and sometimes subconsciously will move faster than I should when I’m practicing my street photography. I believe you should intentionally walk as slow as humanly possible with your head up, shoulders back, and chest open.
Walk elegantly on the streets.
The camera should be treated as an extension of your body and moved fluidly during the act of photographing. Recognize the connection between your body, mind, and eyes. The slower you walk, the more you will enter the zen state required to observe the patterns in both nature and human behavior.
Street photography is like meditation. There’s no need to rush.
