I like to shoot some photos in a single place, when I find good light I stay in the same place and wait something to happen, this is what I call “working the scene”
The following photos were taken in the same spot (Sao Paulo, Brasil) in about 30 min.
Here another example, photos were took the same day close to Vila Madalena in Sao Paulo, Brasil.
“I am forever chasing light. Light turns the ordinary into the magical.” – Trent Parke

Photography definition is “painting with light”, it is certainly light what makes ordinary photographs extraordinary. – Erik Kim

One thing that I have learn shooting street photography is to see the light, either in black and white or in color, light is the “cherry on the cake” as it will make your images even better.

Light can transform your images, so pay attention to good subjects, good background and good light to make remarkable shoots.

The last advice is to try to shoot in the sunrise or in the sunset, in those period of times is where you will find the best light to shoot¡
I have been shooting for the past 4 years street photography in black and white. Recently I discovered that shooting in color using -2 exposure composition and increasing the blacks while editing it’s great to create great street images in color. Below you will find some images that I took in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
