Be respectful of your subject and their space
When taking street portraits, it is important to remember to be respectful of your subject and their space. Always be sure to ask permission before taking a photograph and remain conscious of your subject's comfort level. It is important to be respectful of the environment you are photographing in, too. Be sure to be mindful of who is around you and the impact that your presence might have on the scene.
Capturing unique moments, emotions and expressions
Street portraiture can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience for photographers of all levels. It offers an opportunity to capture unique moments, emotions and expressions that cannot be found in a studio or posed setting. So why not grab your camera and get out there to explore the streets and capture the beauty of the people around you.
"Street portraitures in India are an emerging form of art. The popularity of street photography and portraitures in India has been growing in recent years, with more and more people turning to the streets to capture candid moments, interesting people and unique scenes. In addition to street photography and portraiture, street portraitures in India also can also include elements of abstract photography. Abstract photography often involves creating compositions of light, color and texture to create a unique image. This type of photography can be used to capture the beauty of India's streets and its people in a unique and creative way"
A unique way to capture the beauty and culture of India

From the vibrant streets of Jaipur and Delhi to the peaceful backwaters of Kerala, street portraitures in India are a great way to document the country's cultural richness and street portraitures in India are often a combination of both street photography and portraiture. Street photographers capture people in candid moments and situations, while portrait photographers focus on capturing the emotion and personality of their subjects. Both styles of photography have the potential to tell a powerful story about the people and places of India.
"With street photography, this theme of photography allows photographers to capture the vibrancy of a place and its people in a way that is both artful and authentic and it also allows photographers to observe and interact with their subjects in ways that would not be possible in a studio setting"

"- One of the most rewarding parts of my trip was being able to capture the kindness and resilience of the Indian people. Despite facing some extreme living conditions, their warmth and hospitality were unwavering. This was evident in the faces of the children I photographed in rural villages, who showed me that happiness can be found in the simplest of things. My journey as a travel photographer in India opened my eyes to a new culture, way of life and way of seeing. I left the country with thousands of photos and a deeper understanding and appreciation for this incredible place. India taught me the value of patience, adaptability and being present in every moment. It is a place that will forever hold a special place in my heart and my camera roll", the Photographer says.
"- But I've also opened my eyes to the elder people in India and there was a poetic sense over this Indian man that has been photographed during the morning hours in the holy pilgrimage town of Pushkar. The streets of Pushkar are full of life and culture, making it an amazing place to explore and experience. From the 'Ghats' to the temples, there is something for everyone in this holy city. When it comes to equipment, there is no need for expensive gear in order to take great street portraits. A simple digital point and shoot camera and a good lens will do the trick. If you are feeling more adventurous, a larger 'DSLR' camera with a prime lens will give you more control over the look of your images", the Photographer says again.
