I got the chance to go to South India last week, and figured it'd be a good time to try my hand at street photography. I typically shoot landscape, so this was my first real effort at using people as subjects. All of these were shot over the span of a two day guided tour, on a Sony a7c and a single 45mm f1.8 prime lens. Most of these were taken through a car window, since the majority of the trip was spent sitting in traffic, working, or dying of food poisoning. I tried to focus primarily on capturing what I thought were interesting subjects and compositions, but found myself taking and deleting lots of boring pictures simply because I wanted to capture everything that gave me culture shock. Critiques are very welcome.

only interesting one, and even then you should have focused on the walls, the spiral ladders are interesting for a portrait shoot but you had that broom and other shit polluting the picture, the rest is just average daily life in a dumpster town, congrats you are a street photographer

>>4433042
Huh, I assumed this would be the most boring out of the lot. Is it the subject matter or the compositions that you find more interesting as compared to the others?

>>4433032 (OP)
No sub
>>4433033
Good lighting, checked.
>>4433034
No contrast, nothing to look at.
>>4433035
Cliche. Dilapidated vehicle in the BG looks more interesting.
>>4433036
Save me!

>>4433037
>>4433038
Meh
>>4433039
Nice lines, head is distracting
>>4433041
Good subject and lighting, poor composition.
>>4433055
Go easy on the contrast

>>4433056
Thanks for the crit, I’m surprised you said no subject for the first one. I assumed it was almost too on the nose to have the guy walking right next to the walk sign. Maybe if he was facing the cam it would have been better?

>>4433033
Decent

>>4433035
Cool, but bad crop

>>4433036
