Urban photographs find structure in streets, buildings, signs and everyday movement. Begin by identifying the relationship that holds the picture together rather than searching only for a dramatic subject.
Wait for the frame to resolve
Choose a position with an interesting background or pattern, then observe how people and vehicles move through it. Compare a busy frame with a quieter moment. The most effective image may depend on a small separation between shapes.
Respect access restrictions and the privacy of people in sensitive situations. A city offers many viewpoints; move to a more appropriate one when the circumstances call for it.
