THE APPRENTICE
CASSIDY GRACE
CAMERA: NIKON Z 6
Cassidy is from Cardiff, and is finishing her bachelor’s degree in journalism and media at Bristol’s University of the West of England. She enjoys travel and portrait photography, but wants to spend more time capturing the city she’s called home for the past few years.
TECHNIQUE ASSESSMENT
Colin showed Cassidy how to set up her camera to maximise her chances of capturing eye-catching street shots
MANUAL MODE
Colin says… I shoot in Manual mode unless I’m using a point-and-shoot camera as I need to be able to rely on my settings. Street photographers have to act quickly, and although automatic functions work well most of the time, you need to ensure the camera doesn’t deliver any surprises.
CAMERA SETTINGS
Colin says… We started at ISO200, which was ideal as we were outside with plenty of light. I often use lower f-stops to create a shallower depth of field and pull the subject from the background. I’ll shoot above 1/125 sec to avoid lots of motion blur, or below 1/100 sec if I want to make blur a feature.
