Category: Street. Photograph: “L1000956” by Cooper Smith (username “Cooper Smith” on Flickr). Originally shared on the Photofocus Flickr community right here. Why I picked this image: Minimalist modern architecture is a great place for street photography. These scenes have a lot of structure, lines and circles that are often white or grey and well-lit. Placing a […]
There’s a rule about having numbers or letters in a shot, “Your eyes will always go to the letters and numbers first to see what they say.” I was planning on a personal project to have Wonder Woman breaking some binding chains on a set with some graffiti behind her. So I talked to a […]
Category: Street. Photograph: “Fragile Brilliance” by Mark Krajnak (username “Mark Krajnak” on Flickr). Originally shared on the Photofocus Flickr community right here.

Hollywood could not make a better opening scene for […]
Melissa Niu of Photofocus and Chase Reynolds of LensRentals.com talk with commercial photographer Joe McNally about what he would consider an overkill camera, even if it’s the right camera for the job. 
What’s in your bag? Do you really think that the cameras and lenses that are in my bag are going to get you my job? Stop! I’m not being arrogant, however, how you shoot and I shoot are so radically different it doesn’t matter if you use the same gear as I do. We are […]

Why I picked this image: Street photography and documentary photography can go hand in hand. And this image is a strong example of that. We are currently experiencing the “generation selfie”. What looks common […]
