The global pandemic has changed the very nature of street photography over the past 18 months. Steve Pill speaks to three very different pros about new briefs, adapting techniques, and what the future holds<\/h2>\n
\n

Paola Franqui<\/h3>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Paola, also known as Monaris, is a Puerto Rico-born photographer based in New Jersey, USA. She is an Adobe Lightroom Partner and Sony Ambassador. Her first photobook, Momentos, was published this summer by Setanta Books. www.monaris.me<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Paola Franqui\u2019s photographs are a product of her environment in the best possible sense. Whether shooting a Parisian boulevard or a Tokyo subway, she manages to capture the spirit of each place via a series of telling moments that play out like stills from a long-lost 1970s film.<\/p>\n

Her most frequent subject is Manhattan, which she infuses with a timeless romance and the outsider perspective of a Puerto Rico-born photographer living an hour away in New Jersey. \u2018I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any place like New York City. The characters, how it feels, the smell, the chaos,\u2019 she says.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"woman<\/a>\t\t\t

Capturing human interaction is central to Paola\u2019s work Sony A6000, 19mm, 1\/800sec at f\/2.8, ISO 100<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

\u2018Photographing the city at the beginning of this year was very challenging because it was so quiet \u2013 that liveliness, that spark was gone.\u2019 Paola delights in human interactions, so the lack of visible smiles among masked crowds proved particularly difficult. \u2018You had to try harder to find something else, that extra thing that\u2019s going to make the photo work,\u2019 she says.<\/p>\n

When a full lockdown prevented regular jaunts to New York and beyond, she began to look through her archive, enjoying the world vicariously through her images and picking out forgotten frames to edit. \u2018I\u2019m very big into colour grading and I would spend hours and hours a day just trying to bring things back to life with different colours and different editing styles. That was something that kept me sane.\u2019<\/p>\n

This period of self-reflection also resulted in Paola\u2019s first photobook, Momentos, published this summer by London\u2019s Setanta Books. \u2018What I said to them at the beginning was that I wanted this book to be like a movie: from the first page to the last, I wanted to tell a story; I wanted all of the images to speak with each other. And I think the way they did it was very successful.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"Paola<\/a>\t\t\t

Paola\u2019s aim is to record fleeting moments that capture the environment and atmosphere. Sony A7R III, 55mm, 1\/160sec at f\/1.8, ISO 100<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

The cover image, \u2018Until We Meet Again\u2019, is typical of Paola\u2019s approach: sepia-tinged colours, an exacting composition, and the photographer\u2019s own image inserted into a complex interaction of reflections. That final element was inspired by Vivian Maier, the reclusive nanny whose vast street photography archive only emerged after her death in 2009.<\/p>\n

Paola discovered Maier\u2019s work at a point when she had grown disillusioned with her own output: \u2018I was immediately obsessed. I was like, \u201cHow was this person real?\u201d I bought all of her books and I would spend hours looking at her work.\u2019<\/p>\n

Maier also indirectly inspired No Film Wasted, a second Instagram account through which Paola and her wife, Laura, post scans of mid-century film slides. \u2018Every time we go thrifting, we try to find more,\u2019 she says excitedly. \u2018Our collection is crazy; I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m going to do with them. I have maybe like 10,000 slides and I\u2019m not going to stop.\u2019<\/p>\n

That passion for photography has been evident ever since Paola first started shooting street on an iPhone 5 nine years ago and Instagram has proved a valuable role in her development \u2013 not only in terms of building an audience of more than 325,000 followers, but also because most of her commercial clients first found her via the social media platform (see @monaris_).<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"Image<\/a>\t\t\t

Paola spent hours during lockdown picking out images from her archive to edit with different colours and editing styles. Sony A7R III, 24-70mm, 1\/160sec at f\/4, ISO 100<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

As an ambassador for both Sony and Adobe Lightroom, Paola also feels an added responsibility to capitalise upon her increased profile in the industry. \u2018I\u2019m working for females, for Latinas, for queers,\u2019 she says proudly. \u2018I want to pave the way for more female photographers because I know how hard it is for us. We have to work extra hard.\u2019 While Paola is clearly putting in the hours, she has certainly found a way of making her photographs seem effortless.<\/p>\n

Paola\u2019s tips<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. I constantly switch lenses. When I get too comfortable, I need to do something different.<\/li>\n
  2. Be respectful. If I take a photo of someone and they look at me, I immediately smile to show I\u2019m not doing any harm.<\/li>\n
  3. Study other photographers\u2019 work. It\u2019s a way of finding inspiration to make something for yourself.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n

    Neil Hall<\/h3>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

    West Midlands-born Neil is a staff photographer and video journalist for the London bureau of the European Pressphoto Agency (EPA). In 2020, he was named Arts & Entertainment Photographer of the Year at the BPPA Press Photographer of the Year awards. See more of Neil\u2019s work at www.epa.eu\/photographers\/neil-hall<\/a> and www.neilhallphoto.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    When daily life ground to a halt for many of us 18 months ago, it largely remained unchanged for Neil Hall. As a staff photographer for European Pressphoto Agency (EPA), he continued to commute across London every day while his classification as a \u2018key worker\u2019 meant his daughter stayed in school. Nevertheless, while Neil\u2019s routine appeared much the same, his output did not.<\/p>\n

    \u2018The job of a news photographer is often to show or reflect the world \u2013 therefore obviously as the world completely changed, the nature of the pictures you take and how you take them has completely changed,\u2019 he explains. \u2018In effect, we became pure street photographers.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\"street<\/a>\t\t\t

    Neil was keen to include people to humanise scenes, to tell the story unfolding in front of him Nikon D5, 1\/3200sec at f\/3.2, ISO 125<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

    With public life on hold, the 41-year-old was given a much broader brief to seek out visual clues and signifiers that would illustrate how daily life was changing in unprecedented ways. \u2018The trick is to remember that what is happening today might not be happening in a week, so you\u2019ve got to have that historical eye on the situation,\u2019 he explains.<\/p>\n

    Neil quickly went from documenting masked shoppers running home with armfuls of toilet roll to shooting deserted London streets at what should have been rush hour.<\/p>\n

    While the silence of an empty Piccadilly Circus was striking at first, he says, the resulting photographs were ultimately unsatisfying: \u2018Unless it\u2019s a very clever piece of visual design, street photography needs people in it to humanise it and tell the story \u2013 because stories are about people.\u2019<\/p>\n

    Once people began to return to the city, they brought with them a fresh set of challenges. Government restrictions on daily exercise meant that photographers were eyed with greater suspicion, further exacerbating an already fraught dynamic between public and press.<\/p>\n\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\"People<\/a>\t\t\t

    Neil was tasked with capturing moments representative of how daily life was changing during the pandemic. Nikon D5, 70-200mm, 1\/800sec at f\/4, ISO 400<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

    \u2018Certainly, in the last five years, with the explosion of social media, people have become more aware of what can happen to a picture,\u2019 says Neil. \u2018And with that comes a significant mistrust of photographers, more so than at any point in history. If you look at some of the great photos that Henri Cartier-Bresson captured, you probably couldn\u2019t take those now in quite the same way.\u2019<\/p>\n

    Verbal attacks have become a regular occurrence. \u2018I always find that people like social documentary photography except when they\u2019re in it,\u2019 he notes drily. To help in this respect, Neil set aside his trusty Nikon D6 for the silent shutter of the mirrorless Nikon Z 7. However, he is adamant that there is much more to photography than good kit.<\/p>\n

    \u2018A picture isn\u2019t just about the technical aspect,\u2019 he says. \u2018Anyone can learn to paint to a reasonable standard, it doesn\u2019t make them Picasso. You can swallow a thesaurus, but it doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re going to be Hemingway.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\"Image<\/a>\t\t\t

    Shooting deserted London streets at rush hour soon became the new norm Nikon Z7, 24-70mm, 1\/250sec at f\/5, ISO 64<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

    Neil\u2019s appreciation for the more elusive qualities of street photography took shape in 2003 when, as a young archaeology graduate, he visited two landmark London exhibitions: Walker Evans at the Photographers\u2019 Gallery and Tate Modern\u2019s Cruel and Tender. \u2018That was a mind-blowing experience for someone who didn\u2019t have a great background knowledge of photography,\u2019 he says.<\/p>\n

    Neil promptly took a job at his hometown newspaper, Tamworth Herald, working his way up via freelance shifts with the nationals and six years as a stringer at Reuters, before joining EPA in 2017. As his working day now settles back into a more regular routine of sporting events and political summits, it is still the simple challenges of classic street photography that continue to motivate his practice.<\/p>\n

    \u2018It\u2019s like trying to capture a rare butterfly while you\u2019ve got a large bell around your neck,\u2019 he says. \u2018It\u2019s really difficult but when you get it, it\u2019s more satisfying than anything else.\u2019<\/p>\n

    Neil\u2019s tips<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Stick to autofocus for street photography. You are just as likely to screw up as you are on manual focus, but it\u2019s faster.<\/li>\n
    2. My go-to lens for wide shots is a 24-70mm. Anything wider is so beyond the normal field of vision that it becomes almost like an effect.<\/li>\n
    3. If you are trying to tell a story in a single frame, you must pick a point of interest. As a rule, I shoot quite wide open \u2013 usually f\/2.8.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n

      Craig Whitehead<\/h3>\n\"head<\/a>\n

      Under his Sixstreetunder handle, Cambridge-based Craig has become one of Britain\u2019s leading street photographers. He teaches workshops with Skill Share, and he is working on a follow-up to his first sold-out photobook, New York. Explore more of Craig\u2019s work at www.instagram.com\/sixstreetunder and purchase prints via www.sixstreetunder.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

      IT\u2019S Strange to think, now that he has amassed more than 250,000 Instagram followers, but Craig Whitehead only turned to street photography by chance.<\/p>\n

      The Cambridge School of Art graduate picked up a camera purely as a creative outlet during his lunch breaks from work, while even his specialist subject came about by necessity. \u2018The only option was to shoot the city because that\u2019s where I happened to be,\u2019 Craig explains.<\/p>\n\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\"photograph<\/a>\t\t\t

      Craig likes to push saturation in post to emulate the orange tones of Kodachrome film<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

      \u2018If I had been based in the countryside, I\u2019d probably be a landscape photographer.\u2019 Craig\u2019s only real experience of street photography at that stage was the unflattering flashgun portraiture of Magnum photographer Bruce Gilden.<\/p>\n

      He tried imitating a similar style, shooting wide and close, yet quickly realised this was not for him. \u2018I\u2019m not going to stick my camera in someone\u2019s face while they\u2019re biting into a burger, it doesn\u2019t interest me,\u2019 he says. \u2018I\u2019m definitely more in the camp of trying to make art.\u2019<\/p>\n

      During his degree, Craig used multiple sheets of tracing paper to carefully build his illustrations and he takes a similarly layered approach to street photography. Rather than focusing purely on people, he is more interested in the scene as a whole, so he will select interesting backdrops or objects to shoot through first, before identifying repeat patterns of behaviour that allow him to pre-empt how figures might enter into the frame.<\/p>\n\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\t\t\t

      Shooting through objects to give the appearance of layers can often be seen in Craig\u2019s street scenes<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

      He views the process as a numbers game \u2013 and he fancied his odds better with a camera. \u2018You could work for a week on a couple of illustrations and hate everything you\u2019ve done; whereas I can take 1,000 photos in a day and it doesn\u2019t matter if I don\u2019t use 999 of them,\u2019 he explains.<\/p>\n

      That matter-of-fact attitude extends to editing and an approach that might alarm photojournalistic purists: Craig thinks nothing of removing unwanted details that have strayed into shot, like wires or bag straps. There\u2019s a similar amount of artistic licence used in colour grading, as he pushes the saturation and often skews reds towards the slight orange-bias of Kodachrome film.<\/p>\n

      The avoidance of what he calls \u2018known colours\u2019 is the key to preventing pictures from looking false or overly worked. \u2018It\u2019s the skin tones that give it away,\u2019 he explains. \u2018If people like blue highlights, you can tell as soon as you see a face in there. But you can play around with colour a lot if you protect those indicators.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\t\t\t

      Craig will often find an interesting backdrop first and wait, pre-empting where people might pass through the scene<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

      Craig agrees that his appetite for street photography is bordering on an addiction and it is clear that he has been suffering withdrawal symptoms. \u2018In the past 18 months, I just haven\u2019t been producing,\u2019 he admits.<\/p>\n

      \u2018It sucks. That feeling of just surprising yourself and getting a shot that you never expected is the entire reason to keep going out and doing it, so not having any of that for the best part of two years is awful. I\u2019ve had to accept that everyone is in this same situation, it\u2019s not just me.\u2019<\/p>\n

      The extended lay-off has given Craig time to reassess his practice. He cites Saul Leiter and Ernst Haas as the \u2018Old Masters\u2019, and he is keen to emulate their broader interpretation of the subject. \u2018Why am I pigeon-holing myself completely to street?\u2019 he asks rhetorically.<\/p>\n

      \u2018They didn\u2019t think like that, they just shot what they wanted \u2013 especially Haas. People hold him up as one of the street photography masters, but half of his work doesn\u2019t even have anyone in the frame. It\u2019s just beautiful art.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\t\t\t

      Before the pandemic Craig enjoyed the thrill of capturing the unexpected<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

      Suitably inspired, Craig intends to adopt a more generally creative approach, trying his hand at different subjects and alternative techniques, like multiple exposures. \u2018It\u2019s a good time to refresh and experiment,\u2019 he says, that addiction showing no sign of abating.<\/p>\n

      Craig\u2019s tips<\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. Don\u2019t fret about having the newest kit. It doesn\u2019t matter what a camera can do, as long as you know how to get it to do what you want.<\/li>\n
      2. Move around, stalk your subject a bit. Eye-level, stood where you are is almost never going to be the best version of that shot.<\/li>\n
      3. Get up close to a subject, just once. Even if you never get that close again, knowing that you can when the moment arises is really important.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
