Street Photography Tips, Interaction, Travel, Guides
After my detour to Rome, I made my way back to Eastern Europe in Belgrade, Serbia. The city isn’t known for its beauty, but in many ways it has something more than a pretty picture can give. It’s gritty and real. You can feel its dark past, but see its bright future. It quickly became one of my favorite cities in Eastern Europe.
So here’s 33 photos that I was able to capture during my time in Belgrade…

After the short detour to Rome to film the Street Hunt episode, it was back to Eastern Europe for more Street Photography. This time in Belgrade, Serbia.
“Belgrade” actually translates to “White City,” but I’d find “Gray City” to be more fitting. Belgrade is not the most beautiful city in the world, but it brings its own character that becomes beautiful in its own way. The city has been somewhat of a battleground over the years and this dark past still shows today. At the same time, you can see the positive transition the city is currently enjoying.
It’s also a very walkable city, which is great for exploring this unique Balkan city by foot. So here are my first impressions of Belgrade, from my personal Street Photography perspective…

I made a stop in Rome for the filming of Street Hunter’s new Street Hunt: Rome episode. While there, I enjoyed so much of what Rome has to offer, from amazing food to overwhelming history. It was a very packed 4 days, but thanks to everything that went into the Street Hunt: Rome episode, I was able to get in a good amount of Street Photography too.
So here are some Street Photos I took in Rome that will hopefully give you a look at what it’s like to shoot there…

I have a lot planned for the new year, all over the world, but outside of photography, this blog will be my biggest focus. I will be putting most of my free time into making sure it’s filled with new content. For starters, I will now be posting 4 times a week with a schedule of Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
To really get things into gear, I’m announcing a new City Street Photography Guide every other Wednesday, all year long. I put a ton of work and time into these guides. I personally research, explore and shoot Street Photography in every city that I create a guide for. So you can be ready to capture the streets as soon as you step outside with your camera. Find the best streets and spots for shooting, sample walks, things to capture, safety concerns, general reaction, street tips, and plenty of personal street photography captured there. For cities around the world.
Before visiting a new city, it can be extremely difficult to find good information on photographing the city, outside of views and sunsets. This is especially true for Street Photographers, or any photographers interested in capturing uncontrolled life. Without enough knowledge on the city beforehand, you can waste a lot of time after you arrive, instead of spending that time capturing the city. So I hope these city guides can be helpful for other photographers.
Even if you’re not planning on visiting the city yet, these guides can help you find out about new cities and maybe add them to your list for photography. I’ll also fill them with my own Street Photography captured there, so you can just enjoy the photos and see the city, if you like.
And if you still have any questions about shooting in the cities I create a guide for, I’ll leave it open for you to comment those questions to me below the guide! I want to make these guides as valuable as possible for you all, so you can always add any ideas on improvements and addition requests in the comments too. I will gear them towards visitors, so ease of getting around and safety of areas will take some extra importance. I personally like going into some of the edgier areas, but won’t advise others to do so unless you ask :)
I worked in over 15 cities across 12 countries last year and have plans for even more travel and photography this year. So I’m more than ready to start supplying plenty of guides for you all. I’ve done some revisions from the first few I created so you can check out my last Street Photography Guide to Istanbul, Turkey to get a good idea of what’s coming, and then stay tuned for tomorrow’s Guide to Tbilisi, Georgia to start off the new “every other Wednesday” schedule!
(In addition, I’ll group all the City Street Photography Guides here as they post.)
Cheers!
In the middle of my Eastern European Street Photography Tour, after Kraków and Prague, I had to make a detour to Rome, Italy to join the StreetHunters.net team for the filming of their new Street Hunt: Rome episode, which covers a Street Photography walk of Rome. This gave me the opportunity to be a part of scouting the city for production, be included as a Street Photographer in its filming, and spend some extra time there devoted to more Street Photography. We even had a local photographer to help guide us, which made experiencing this historic city that much better.
Rome is at the top of my list of cities because of all it has to offer and how much of it you can’t find anywhere else. Walking around Rome is truly an experience like no other. So here are my first impressions of Rome, from my personal Street Photography perspective…

I spent over a week in Kraków and Prague, but didn’t get in as much Street Photography as I would have liked, unfortunately. Bad weather and friends visiting kept me off the streets as much as I had planned. So although I didn’t get as much solid Street Photography done as usual, I still wanted to put together a post of some of the photos I made in both cities.
Kraków and Prague are very different from each other, while still sharing similarities. They share an old world, magical vibe and make for some interesting exploration and scenery on foot. Carrying my camera around, with hands fully gloved due to the cold, made experiencing these cities even more enjoyable.
So here’s 33 photos that I was able to capture during my time in Kraków and Prague…
