Pau Ll. Buscató is a street photographer based out of Barcelona, Spain, now roaming the streets of Oslo, Norway. We love his style (one of his NYC shots is the cover of this year’s EyeEm Festival & Awards) so we asked Pau to share some of his tips on how to get into taking photos on the streets. From the desk of Pau Ll. Buscató: Street Photography is difficult and demanding, but at the same time very rewarding when you collect the fruits of your hard work. It asks you to be 100% into it but the average rate of really successful shots is around 0,1% or less. That means you’ll need a lot of patience and persistence.
It is no surprise to say that street photography can be challenging, at times, and even more challenging in certain countries due to differing customs and laws. But that doesn’t mean that street photography is impossible, nor that you can’t make it easier to practice. Photographers should work hard to overcome the difficulties facing them when doing street photography. In this article I’ve shared some tips that any photographer will find helpful.

The start of a new black and white fine art series and maybe a new direction in my work, a direction not so minimalist as before, with more complex subjects and relations among them. As always, my images are born from my experiences and I’m trying to tell my stories through them. I tell my stories through black, white and shades of gray, through lines and shapes. Every tone in my images means something, every line, every accent, contrast or the lack of it.

Street Photography is different than studio and speedlight photography in the sense that the photographer is at the mercy of the light that is presented. Here’s 7 lighting street photography tips to make the most out of the light of the day.
We use elements of composition to make our photographs visually appealing. Things like leading lines, rule of thirds, and reflections all enhance an image and set it apart from the sea of uninteresting “Street Photography” out there. I’m not going to discuss what leading lines, the rule of thirds, and reflections are, instead I want to talk about how to create more interesting Street Photography layering. Layering is the process of capturing an image where various subjects are located at different planes within the same photograph.
