I like this version so much more! The color versions detract from what really matters in street: the composition, the lighting, and of course the people. I'd say if you continue doing street in black and white, your work will look amazing. :+fav: mate.

Thank you very much.
I am really inexperienced in black and white, but I shall take your advice and try and give it a go :)

What I like about black and white is how it forces a photographer to think about the composition without being distracted by colors, I feel that the lack of color adds rather than detracts from photos like these. What I do when I shoot black and white is i picture everything in grayscale, even when i'm not shooting, the image in my head is already finished before i even set my camera. Happy shooting, I hope it works out for you!

Thank you for the advice. I am always really nervous about photographing people in the street and wish I had more confidence in this area.

Yeah in street you have to be prepared to feel a little bit nervous sometimes, but it feels great to nail it, just go for it and see what happens :)
