Shownotes Transcript

When I shoot on the street I often fall into the FOMO (fear of missing out) trap by continually wandering in search of the next photo. Firiends often tell me to "stop already" and watch for opportunities where I am. Each time I do this I’m rewarded with at least one good (well maybe decent) photo for the day. But the habit persists.

Mark Seymour is back again to share some simple tips to make us all better street photographers. As a master trainer Mark knows how to instill good habits by turning them into simple phrases to easily keep them itop-of-mind mind when shooting in a chaotic street environment. In this episode Mark shares the "Three Fs "of street photography which have helped me to control my own FOMO habit. They are Fish, Follow and F***k.

It’s simple, easy to remember and quite powerful. So have a listen to my conversation with Mark Seymour explain how he employs this simple concept in his own work.
