She seems frozen in time while retaining the dynamics of her motion with her skirts bowing and one sketch off the ground

The flowing skirt is what got me, as well as the geometric, textured backgrounds and mysterious door.

Hey Sam, I think everyone has said it about this image. This is awesome, perfect timing and placement with this. Where to place a person in the frame is a very difficult step for newer photographers, I guess it goes without saying since you have published 4 books already, but you could lead a clinic on the subtleties of Street Photography.

Thanks, Jim.

The street genre is very personal. While knowing the basics of light and composition is important as in any genre, everone does SP differently and has his/her own way of doing it. I find it the most challenging of all the genres, and would not want to presume to advise others. I’m always glad to share my way of doing if and when people are interested.

That said, I’m not seeing many others post new street photos - hope my posts will inspire some to go out and see what gold they can find out on the street.
