Running out of street photography ideas? Getting bored of prowling the same areas over and over? It’s time to either do a photography reset or switch up your approach altogether. If the latter sounds like something you want to try first, you might want to check out Alan Schaller’s geometry-inspired street photography for some ideas.
In the video above, the British street photographer takes us to the streets of Berlin. He notes that it’s a perfect city for huntinggeometric subjectsand backdrops, peppered with interesting architecture from various movements like Brutalist and Bauhaus. However, he also mentions that Germans don’t really like being photographed—one of the challenges street photographers often face in the city.
So, he turns to the German capital’s interesting man-made structures to provide a different perspective to man’s interaction with the environment. This is where he puts creativity at work, with geometry a big part of his street photography style. Of course, he demonstrates this with examples of how he approaches composition and framing, both in the city’s popular landmarks and everyday locations.
Do you find Alan Schaller’s geometry-centric street photography interesting and inspiring? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
