Urban photography relates with the cities and the normal areas of
work currently.This photography is often gritty, it’s not always pretty
and it can be quite abstract.
Here are few ways to improve urban photography.
1.Use of appropriate lenses
Its necessary to have two lenses for this kind of photography. One with wide angle lens and a zoom with a fair bit of length to it. Longer focal lengths are useful for capturing the details of a decaying buildings or street scene detail elements that add ‘real’ character to a shot. Wide angle lenses are great for capturing the big picture and they tend to give a bigger depth of field which can add interest and a nice feel to your shots.
2.Gear Taken
The gear you take on an urban landscape shoot will of course reflect your own style of photography but in addition to the above two lenses and DSLR I sometimes take a tripod if you are to shoot into the evening, polarising filters, UV filters, sling style camera bag .
3.Identify differences
Its important to look for visual diversities. Shoot from elevated and ground levels to add extra dimension to your subject, you may be surprised with one of the most artful shots of your career!
4.Urban Portraiture
A urban landscape photographers is a real challenge .Normally it would be better to shoot on weekends or after workhours to avoid the clumsiness in our photography. Patience is needed in most of these settings, so just prepare yourself.
5.Way of living
Urban landscapes don’t always include people directly but speak about the way we live (both good and bad). It can be very powerful to look for the evidence of people in a landscape and to feature this in your shots. In doing so you add layers of interest and make your photos more dynamic.
6.Experimentation
The most interesting part of urban photography is the changes at different times of the day and consider returning to the same location over time to see what else it might offer. In terms of what time of day is ‘best’ to photograph – it really has a lot to do with the locations, but our preference is late afternoon, early evening or early morning.
7.Concept
Look for various themes while there is real diversity in urban areas there are also many recurring themes of life.
8.Photography at dawn
Evening lights change the colour and outlook of cities with all lights being on the scene. It would be very interesting to take snaps at those times giving you the real picture of an urban area.
9.Snaps of various areas
One of the fascinating part about city is the differences in the feel and sites that can be witnessed from area to area. Within a block or two you can move from a business district or commercial zone to a gritty, run down industrial zone or a trendy inner city residential or shopping area.
10.Giving an urban look to rural areas
If the shot is to be taken in a suburban or rural area then document and explore the places where people live and gather – bid or small.
