Street portraiture

Brief

Street portraits are fascinating peeks into the worlds of those who we pass every day as we go about our business. We’re defining a street portrait as an outdoor portrait in a built environment where the subject knows you are photographing them. You may or may not know the subject. In terms of stepping outside your comfort zone, approaching a stranger and asking if you can take their picture can be a big challenge for many. The sense of satisfaction and achievement that can spring from this is great, so if you’ve not done it before then now’s your chance!
