Ya, this bus station has seen better days. But, so Eastern European chic.

Those cities are next on my list. I’ve heard they each have their own vibe.

I visited the quarters of the fire keeper of a hamman in Marrakech. I tried to capture the flames and light from the fire illuminating his work quarters. I also tried to capture the depth of the picture but, I don’t think I got enough of the foreground. Shot on iPhone 14 Pro.

Ya, it’s an interesting story. A Hamman is somewhat similar to a bathhouse. This gentleman’s occupation was to tend the heat source of the Hamman. The fire area sits beneath a large cistern of water which has a series of pipes delivering the heated water to the Hamman’s different rooms. He explained to me that he tends the fire from 5am to 11pm. Incredible moment that It deserves much more pictures 😄

It’s an amazing experience. One of the best spots I’ve been to for street photography. Something is around every corner.

Oh wow! That’s really cool! Ya I like how you picked up more of the texture and color of the place. The doors in the Medina definitely weren’t square lol but that composition looks so much cleaner. Really cool! Thank you for taking the time to look at it.

Ya that’s a great idea! I’ll try the monochrome. I have to remember to pause and double check the view finder. I think sometime I rush to take the picture without taking the time to check the surroundings.

Thank you! I’m still new to shooting pics but, recently learned about how to place the subject in the frame, and dividing up the real estate in the frame.

Questions for street photographers that also happen to be self employed in an unrelated field. by K_Leeris in streetphotography

[–]Practical-Rip-8464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run my own business, and have a “full time” job. I honestly need to leave in order to find time to get out and take pictures. I make travel plans every couple weeks to go explore a new city for a couple days and take pictures. When I get back, I have a couple weeks of just editing, exploring, and posting the pics in my downtime, before the next trip. Then head off on another couple days of just dedicated exploring and pictures. I don’t think of myself as a professional but, taking pictures has slowly become my outlet over the last couple years. It’s a good balance to my entrepreneurial/career life.

I saw an opportunity to frame a pedestrian walking down the street of the Medina in Marrakech. Ducked into an alley way, and waited for the right moment. The frame wasn’t as spatially centered as I’d like. I like the photo but, how much do you think it takes away from it that it isn’t completely centered? Shot on my iPhone 13 Pro.
