STREET PHOTOGRAPHY TUTORIAL - PART TWO

COMBINATION OF HUMANs+SURROUNDINGS

Photographing together human presence and surroundings, combining them in something interesting and unusual, we obtain the classic structure of a street photography.
But mind you, it is not enough taking a photo with people and surroundings to have a good street photo! Remember that we have to strike, surprise, trigger an emotional response.
And that we can do CONNECTING people and surroundings.

THE LIGHT

The etymology of the word photography is from phos (ϕως) =light, and grapho (γράφω)=write, draw. Of course the word comes from the Greeks as Street Photography itself: "Street": The origins - Defining Street   
When we take street photos let's not forget that we are still taking photos, still writing with light. Also light can be used out of the usual patterns, taking advantage of under exposure, over exposure, interesting play of light and shadows to capture the attention of the observer.

SPECIAL EFFECTS

Another way to shoot good street photography is finding, creating special effects in our surroudings, taking advantage of weather patterns, an unusual angle or perspective, geometry, reflections, unusual surroundings.

Question: Do you have to ask the people you take the picture of permission to publish the photo?

Depends on the laws of your country.

I just read the whole thing. It was all official and such XD
But, I take from the PDF that I can take pictures of people on the street and post them here without asking them? (Unless they are in their house, or in the bathroom or something...XD)

Another great piece!

I particularly like that you started with combining humans with their surroundings, or creative use of juxtaposition, as it is a favorite of mine when reviewing Street photos. These situations are very rare, which is what makes them so special when captured. In fact, they are so rare I can't imagine any legitimate Street photographer having very many of them in his or her collection. Without question, they are among the prized jewels of a Street shooter's portfolio.
