Zone Focus, Film Burns, and Honest Editing: What Peter McKinnon's NYC Street Shoot Taught Me
Every Sunday morning I take a photo walk. No client, no brief, just me and whatever camera I grab off the shelf. For a long time, those walks felt like practice without a destination because I was still thinking like a studio shooter. I’d wait for perfect light, fuss over focus, and come home with twelve technically fine images and zero soul. What I was missing was the street shooter’s mindset: decide your settings, commit to your zone, and let the city do the rest.
