Does street photography make you uncomfortable?

In this episode of our podcast Ashley Hunsberger and I discuss some things you can do to help you feel more comfortable when photographing strangers on the street. This is the number one concern among street photographers.

We also talk about a new workshop Harvey Stein has coming up in India, Len Speier’s gallery opening in Manhattan and Michael Ernest Sweet’s upcoming lecture at B&H Photo in New York about the making of a photography book.

Our recommended photographer this week is Margarita Mavromichalis. It was my turn to pick so I was pleased to be able to talk about one of my very favorite street photographers in her very personal style. Here’s one of my favorite photos of hers:
