Mobile Photography – StreetWise – New! Eleventh Challenge – ‘Shooting from the Knees’
“We do not take pictures, we are taken by pictures” Ernst Haas Forget ‘shooting from the hip’, the theme of our next challenge is ‘shooting from the knees’. Sometimes, as street photographers, we may find ourselves feeling a little stagnant and we may desire to travel away from our usual environment (a new town or city) to find fresh inspiration. However, when that is not possible, changing our perspective can offer a refreshing change.

Welcome to our Tenth StreetWise Challenge ‘Lines in the Street.’ This is a fun theme for a challenge and a prevailing one in photography! “While we are working, we must be conscious of what we’re doing.” Henri Cartier-Bresson Many street photographers when they go out taking street photos are looking at how they can create strong compositions with the use of lines.
