Ep 154: Street Photography tips with world renowned street photographer Valerie Jardin

Street photography is an art unto itself. It’s a lot more than simply sneaking in snaps when people aren’t noticing. If you want to capture a mood or really depict the essence of a place then you should learn from a master.

That’s why we’ve invited world renowned street photographer Valerie Jardin onto the show. Valerie will give you an insight into her secrets to taking great street photography; camera settings; shooting from the hip, how to get really close to strangers to take a shot, the advantages of mirrorless cameras in street photography – and much more.

Gina and Valerie love bringing this podcast to you.

Hope you enjoy the podcast.
