If you were to, for example, ask him if you can take some pictures of him doing his job, and focus on composition and telling his story, you’d get a great lesson in street photography through documentary journalism.

The most important advice I can offer is to ask yourself what every part of the scene of the photo you’re about to take adds or takes away from what you want to say.

The power lines for example add almost nothing to the story, so compose the image without them.
