Everyone wants to take killer street shots. Grabbing images on the fly. Capturing people you don’t know going about their day. Freezing moments in everyday life. Photojournalistic. Creative. Fun. The video below is sure to give you some tips and ideas. It certainly inspired me and I only discovered the photographer, Joe Wigfall, this week through my husband since Joe is a future guest on F-Stop Beyond. Can’t wait to hear the interview. In...
