Hey Gajan, do you have any plans on making a small book or Zine?

I feel like seeing your work printed in person would be really nice

Short answer, yes.

It'll be some time before the book is ready but I'm working on some concepts that I'm hoping to make available as early as next year.

I have been shooting with my friend Steve and he told me the same thing. Stop using my zoom and move myself in closer and use a prime. I’ll share this with him as well. Thanks Gajan

Another solid article Gajan. Thanks for sharing these tips.

Getting close is always a challenge for me in street. I don't do it enough to feel comfortable in those closer spaces. More practice needed...

Thanks for reading. It can feel awkward, but put yourself out there and have faith in your photography. Good luck!

That was a great way to break down why and how to get close, much appreciated. I laughed out loud reading about the potential difficulty getting the one woman in frame!
