Glynn gave some interesting advice on street photography and portraiture at the Big Photo Show in LA. What stood out to me from the get go, (besides his Australian accent), was that he advocated for the BIG LENS where necessary to get the shot. Everywhere else I hear people wanting to blend in, never have I heard someone talk about carrying a huge telephoto.

So I sat in on the session, and he had some really good tips.

Glynn's 7 Steps to Street Portraiture (shooting people you don't know)

Find great light. Be a seeker of light.

Be more than a person with a camera. Communicate.

You need to be courageous.

Complete understanding of your gear.

Lens choice is everything! Zoom lenses are not for zooming, use your feet instead. About viewpoint, perspective, compression and depth.

Write with light, shape with shadows.

Ability to work fast, people won't wait. Ability to run fast can help too.

Honor your side of the connection. Pay it forward.

No, doesn't always mean no.

Forget composition, focus on vision.
