I came across a really interesting YouTube video from The Raw Society on Street and Travel photography.

Some of its is as you might expect – basic compositional ideas, how to behave on the street and so on. But I found the totality an interesting watch with some excellent photography and thoughtful comments. Right at the end is a useful commentary on ethics, worth watching to the end just for that. I found the storytelling section pretty cool, too. And it is happily free of ‘gear stuff’. From the YouTube blurb:
