Choose The Perfect Background For Brilliant Street Photography<\/h2>\n<p>Do you want to take amazing street photographs? The first step is to find the perfect background.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/street-photography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">street photography<\/a>, a great background is essential. A great background provides an exciting setting for your photo. It also helps the subject stand out.<\/p>\n<p>What does the perfect street photography background look like?<\/p>\n<p>The perfect street photography background is straightforward and uncluttered. It prevents the viewer from becoming confused or distracted.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75137 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3735\/1120\/street-photography-1.jpg\" alt=\"Street photography 1\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Therefore, find a location with a <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/portrait-mode\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">simple background<\/a>. You want to isolate your main subject. You want them to stand out. In the photo below, the person\u00a0is framed by an uncluttered backdrop. Nothing distracts. Nothing takes away from the subject.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31628 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3725\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-11.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Street Photography Tips 11\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Also, consider how date and time affect the background. For instance, early mornings before rush hour are often ideal. Empty streets make for great backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31623 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3749\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-6.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Street Photography Tips 6\" width=\"560\" height=\"448\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Therefore, if you&#8217;re looking to do amazing mobile street photography, start by finding a great background. It&#8217;s a quick way of ensuring your street photos become far stronger.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Photograph Strangers For More Compelling iPhone Street Photography<\/h2>\n<p>The best <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/black-white-iphone-street-photography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">street photography<\/a> has a compelling subject. What are the most compelling subjects?<\/p>\n<p>In street photography, the most compelling subjects are <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/street-photography-fears\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">strangers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75151 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3760\/1120\/street-photography-8.jpg\" alt=\"Street photography 8\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Strangers act naturally. Their actions tell stories. While you can use models for street photography, I don&#8217;t recommend it. Compelling <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/street-photography-storytelling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">street photography storytelling<\/a> requires openness and diversity.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, compelling street photography is all about capturing unique moments. You want to photograph people going about their daily lives.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, you need to photograph strangers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75149 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3773\/1120\/street-photography-7.jpg\" alt=\"Street photography 7\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, photographing strangers can be tough for a beginner. It often causes anxiety. After all, you&#8217;re taking pictures of people you&#8217;ve never met. What if they get angry?<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, your iPhone is the perfect tool for unobtrusive\u00a0street photos. The iPhone is small and barely noticeable. Plus, you can always pretend you&#8217;re using the iPhone for something else\u2014when\u00a0you&#8217;re actually\u00a0snapping photos!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another street photography tip: You can take photos with the volume buttons on your iPhone! Just press the <strong>Volume Up<\/strong> or <strong>Volume Down<\/strong>\u00a0button while on the camera screen. Your iPhone will snap a picture!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an even better tip for discreet photos: You can take pictures using the volume controls on your Apple headphones. Make sure your headphones are plugged in. Then press the <strong>Volume Up<\/strong> or <strong>Volume Down<\/strong> button. Your iPhone will immediately take a shot.<\/p>\n<p>Both of these techniques are fantastic for getting great street shots without people noticing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31637 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3781\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-20.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Street Photography Tips 20\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another technique is to blend in with your surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t stand in the middle of the road with your iPhone held out. Instead, stand against walls or sit on benches.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31633 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3790\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-16.jpg\" alt=\"Processed with VSCOcam with g3 preset\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you want to nab incredible street photographs, you have to photograph strangers. Your iPhone is the perfect tool for this task. It will allow you to photograph unobtrusively. You&#8217;ll blend right in, and nobody will notice that you&#8217;re taking amazing photos.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, from now on, photograph strangers.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Use Burst Mode For Fantastic Shots Of Moving Subjects<\/h2>\n<p>Do you want to photograph moving subjects? A lot of the best mobile street photography is of people moving: walking, running, or skateboarding.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75155 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3804\/1120\/street-photography-10.jpg\" alt=\"Street photography 10\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, capturing shots of <a title=\"How To Take Great iPhone Photos Of Moving Subjects\" href=\"\/moving-subjects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">moving subjects<\/a>\u00a0can be difficult.<\/p>\n<p>For one thing, it&#8217;s easy to capture a moving subject in a bad pose\u2014when they&#8217;re overlapping with another person, for instance.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31624 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3808\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-7.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Street Photography Tips 7\" width=\"560\" height=\"418\" \/><\/p>\n<p>How do you deal with these issues?<\/p>\n<p>You use <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/iphone-burst-mode\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">burst mode<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Burst mode is an iPhone camera feature that allows you to take about a dozen frames per second. Therefore, burst mode ensures that you capture the perfect moment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30430 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3816\/1120\/Kwe-Bentum-iPhone-Photos-9.jpg\" alt=\"Kwe Bentum iPhone Photos 9\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>How do you activate burst mode?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s simple!\u00a0To activate burst mode, hold down the shutter button. Your iPhone will immediately take a series of shots. Once the moment has passed, let go of the shutter button. Your iPhone will stop taking photos.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75157 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3830\/1120\/street-photography-11.jpg\" alt=\"Street photography 11\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can then choose the best photos from the sequence. To do this, find your Burst of photos in the Photos app. Tap\u00a0<strong>Select<\/strong>. Then scroll through and find the images you like. When you&#8217;re finished, tap <strong>Done<\/strong>. Your selected images will be saved. The rest will be deleted.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75362 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/20084\/1120\/street-photography-10560.jpg\" alt=\"Street photography 10560\" width=\"560\" height=\"481\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you want to capture incredible photos of moving subjects, use burst mode. Your keeper rate will shoot right up!<\/p>\n<h2>4. Use The Telephoto Lens To Get Close To Your Subject<\/h2>\n<p>In iPhone street photography, it&#8217;s often tough to fill the entire frame with your subject. If you want those in-your-face shots, you have to get close\u2014sometimes uncomfortably close.<\/p>\n<p>Is there a way around this?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75145 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3840\/1120\/street-photography-5.jpg\" alt=\"Street photography 5\" width=\"560\" height=\"747\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you have the <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/iphone-7-plus-camera\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iPhone 7 Plus<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/iphone-8-plus-camera\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iPhone 8 Plus<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/iphone-x-camera\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iPhone X<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/iphone-xs-camera\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iPhone XS<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/iphone-xs-vs-iphone-xs-max-camera\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iPhone XS Max<\/a>, then yes!<\/p>\n<p>All of these iPhones have a telephoto lens in addition to the standard wide-angle lens. A telephoto lens magnifies the subject. It allows you to get more powerful, full-frame images of strangers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75141 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3852\/1120\/street-photography-3.jpg\" alt=\"Street photography 3\" width=\"560\" height=\"536\" \/><\/p>\n<p>How do you switch to the telephoto lens?<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, it&#8217;s quite easy. All you have to do is tap the <strong>1x<\/strong> icon at the bottom of the camera screen. This will immediately activate the telephoto lens. The <strong>1x<\/strong> icon will switch to <strong>2x<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75163 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3861\/1120\/street-photography-100.jpg\" alt=\"Street photography 100\" width=\"320\" height=\"612\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re done using the telephoto lens, tap the <strong>2x<\/strong> icon. This will reactivate the wide-angle lens.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, if you want to get those compelling, in-your-face shots, use your telephoto lens! You won&#8217;t regret it.<\/p>\n\n<h2>5. Photograph Architecture For Unique Urban Street Photography<\/h2>\n<p>Street photography isn&#8217;t all about photographing people. If you want to shoot more unique <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/urban-landscape-photography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">urban street photography<\/a>, then photograph <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/architecture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">architecture<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31625 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3868\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-8.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Street Photography Tips 8\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Towns and cities are full of great architecture. Yet how do you photograph it?<\/p>\n<p>First, find an interesting building. Try capturing it from the outside. You might also focus on part of the building to create a more abstract shot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31742 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3875\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then photograph the building from the inside. Try out different angles to create unique compositions or symmetry.\u00a0For the shot below, I pointed my iPhone straight up. This resulted in a very unique image.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31626 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3882\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-9.jpg\" alt=\"Processed with VSCOcam with f1 preset\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you want more unique street photos, then try photographing architecture! It&#8217;s a lot of fun, and this type of <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/urban-photography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">urban street photography<\/a> will\u00a0really expand your portfolio.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Look Down For A Creative Street Photo<\/h2>\n<p>Do you want to create a street photo that stuns the viewer? Do you want to capture an image that is beautifully disorienting? Then make sure you look down!<\/p>\n<p>What do I mean by this? I mean that you should pay attention to what&#8217;s beneath you. Look down at the ground!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75159 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3891\/1120\/street-photography-12.jpg\" alt=\"Street photography 12\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The ground offers all sorts of interesting photo opportunities. For instance, cracks in the pavement can make for wonderful abstracts. Discarded objects can be interesting subjects, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Pay attention to puddles and shiny metal.\u00a0 You can often capture stunning reflections in these surfaces.\u00a0For a more intriguing approach, try flipping your image upside down in post-processing. I did this for the image below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31635 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3901\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-18.jpg\" alt=\"Processed with VSCOcam with e6 preset\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, shoot from up high to get a bird&#8217;s-eye view of the scene. Try standing on a bridge or a balcony and shooting straight down on a busy street scene.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31621 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3909\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-4.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Street Photography Tips 4\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stairwells also make great locations for this kind of shot. Try to be creative when shooting stairwell photos. For instance, a person makes for a great focal point!<\/p>\n<p>If you want to shoot more <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/creative-street-photography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">creative street photography<\/a>, look down! You&#8217;ll be surprised by the wonderful world that awaits.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Get Close To Capture Magical Macro Scenes<\/h2>\n<p>Street photography isn&#8217;t all about capturing vast street scenes. Great street photographers often capture close-ups.<\/p>\n<p>Try getting up close to your subject. Capture the small details.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, why not take a <a title=\"How to Take Great Macro Photos With Your iPhone\" href=\"\/macro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">close-up shot<\/a> of peeling paint on an old building? Why not photograph the umbrella of a person walking in the rain?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75143 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3919\/1120\/street-photography-4.jpg\" alt=\"Street photography 4\" width=\"560\" height=\"747\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can even use props of your own. Just place them in your street scene, then shoot!<\/p>\n<p>For instance, I added my watch to the scene below. You can still make out famous landmarks in the distance. However, the close-up of the watch adds beautiful detail to the scene.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31817 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3923\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-23.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Street Photography Tips 23\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another interesting technique you can try out is to capture a close-up of raindrops on a shiny surface. In the shot below, I managed to get a close-up of raindrops\u2014with a building reflected through them!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31620 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3930\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-3.jpg\" alt=\"Processed with VSCOcam with g3 preset\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you want to capture more unique, magical scenes, then try some close-up street photography. You&#8217;ll be amazed by what you can find!<\/p>\n<h2>8. Shoot During The Golden Hours For Amazing Light<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to capture incredible street photographs, you need to shoot in the best light. Great light can make a huge difference in your photography.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, among a group of\u00a0street photography tips, this one stands out.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75161 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3944\/1120\/street-photography-13.jpg\" alt=\"Street photography 13\" width=\"560\" height=\"701\" \/><\/p>\n<p>How do you find the best light?<\/p>\n<p>A failsafe way to find the best light is to\u00a0shoot during <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/golden-hour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the golden hours<\/a>. The golden hours are the hour or two just after sunrise and just before sunset.<\/p>\n<p>These are the times when the light is soft and golden\u2014hence the term, &#8220;Golden hours.&#8221; The golden hours result in incredible photographic opportunities. Such beautiful light casts a wonderful glow over the streets\u2014and makes for amazing photography.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31619 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3954\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-2.jpg\" alt=\"Processed with VSCOcam with g3 preset\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The golden hours are also the perfect time for capturing stunning <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/creating-silhouettes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">silhouettes<\/a>. Point your iPhone toward the sun, find a nice composition, and shoot!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31622 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3961\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-5.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Street Photography Tips 5\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you want to capture amazing street photos, shoot during the golden hours. They&#8217;re one of the best times to do street photography.<\/p>\n<p>Another great time to do street photography is covered in the next tip!<\/p>\n<h2>9. Shoot In Harsh Light For Dramatic Street Photos<\/h2>\n<p>The golden hours are a great time for street photography. However, are there any other times that you can shoot?<\/p>\n<p>As it turns out, yes. You can capture amazing street photographs at other times of the day. One of the best times to do street photography is during midday.<\/p>\n<p>Why is midday so great? It&#8217;s during midday that the <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/harsh-light\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sunlight is harsh<\/a>. The sun beats down on your subjects from above. This results in very dark shadows. It also results in dramatic, contrast-heavy images. For instance, the photo below was taken during the middle of the day:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31629 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3968\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-12.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Street Photography Tips 12\" width=\"560\" height=\"746\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Midday light adds drama and mystery to your photos. During midday, look for locations\u00a0that have bright areas and dark shadows. Buildings are great for\u00a0casting large shadows over a scene.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31636 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3974\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-19.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Street Photography Tips 19\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you want to capture dramatic street photos, go out during the middle of the day. Look for lots of light and shadow\u2014and then start snapping away.<\/p>\n<p>Street photography shadows are a really great way to take your images to the next level!<\/p>\n<h2>10. Venture\u00a0Out In\u00a0Bad Weather For Atmospheric Photos<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to capture extremely dramatic, atmospheric images, then shoot during <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/bad-weather\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bad weather<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Rain, snow, and fog make for unbelievable street photos.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31823 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/3992\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-24.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Street Photography Tips 24\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For one thing, <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/rainy-day-projects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rainy days<\/a> result in a great prop: umbrellas! Umbrellas add\u00a0a lovely splash of color\u00a0to your images.<\/p>\n<p>Water droplets, reflections, and textures on wet roads are also great additions to your images.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31632 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/4001\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-15.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Street Photography Tips 15\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of my favorite techniques is to take advantage of little water droplet formations on windows. You can find these at bus stops or coffee shops on a rainy day. Shooting strangers through the droplets can\u00a0lead to incredible abstract street photos.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31634 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/4022\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-17.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Street Photography Tips 17\" width=\"560\" height=\"745\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Fog is\u00a0great for isolating your subject. It provides a simple, white backdrop for your photos. Plus, you can create powerful images by photographing tall buildings that disappear into the fog.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31618 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/4031\/1120\/iPhone-Street-Photography-Tips-1.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Street Photography Tips 1\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Finally, <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/winter-snow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">snow<\/a> creates a beautiful environment for street photography. Snow adds a lovely sense of atmosphere to the scene.<\/p>\n<p>So wrap up warm and venture\u00a0out into the city in bad weather.

I\u2019ve always been passionate about photography and I owned a couple of film cameras prior to shooting mobile. This long lost passion was rekindled about three years ago when I purchased my first iPhone. My photography style focuses on urban lifestyle and architecture. Street photography has always been a favorite genre of mine, but I find myself experimenting with conceptual photography when possible. My goal in photography is to never stop creating, and to keep evolving my work of art.","url":"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/author\/kwe\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31595","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/46"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31595"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31595\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31595"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31595"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31595"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
