Q&A

This week we answer questions sent to us from Babas Hariri and Georgios Sideras.

Babak Hariri: "How close do you get to people without them noticing you when shooing on the street? Which limits do you never cross?"

Georgios Sideras: "I live in Stockholm and the weather here's not really helpful. I do not mind the rain and the snow and I don't like to find excuses but I love photographing light and I always hear you talk about how great photography is to always follow the light. The problem is that Sweden has overcast weather 7 months a year and all my outdoor shots tend to look very boring from a lighting perspective. What can I do to make a shot look more vivid? I like moody shots but I really want my photographs to make people happy sometimes."
