Street Focus 51: Street Tips with Thomas Leuthard

In this new Street Tips episode of Street Focus, Swiss photographer Thomas Leuthard shares his Top 10 Street Tips.

Excerpt from Thomas' website: "Street Photography is more than going for a walk with your camera. It is a question of being part of the street and observing things that other people would never see. Thomas Leuthard's goal is to get people away from the hype about gear towards a more story telling and composition focussed approach."
