Street Photography Technique: Use the LCD Screen

Use the LCD screen on the street. Try out this technique: pretend like you’re a tourist or making a video. When I use the LCD screen, I oftentimes hold the camera out in front of me like a tourist would be photographing with an iPhone. It is a very easy technique that can actually benefit the way that you see.

More potential for play

The biggest benefit of using an LCD screen is that it allows me to make pictures from different angles much more easily than a viewfinder. I can reach up very high and photograph from a unique perspective using an LCD screen. I can also drop very low and achieve a heroic angle to uplift the subjects within my frames. I find that I can place the camera in a variety of different ways. By using an LCD screen, I surprise myself more with the photos that I make. Also, it is a much more stealthy approach that allows you to make photos with ease without disturbing the peace.
