Talking with Strangers
I learned street photography from Olaf Sztaba, who emphasized the practice of confidently engaging with strangers in public settings, and then working with them to make fun, spontaneous photos. Street photography can be an effective way to learn social confidence and the ability to build trust with someone you’ve just met.
