Research unique neighborhoods<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When planning to shoot locations in an unfamiliar city, it\u2019s important to dive deep into neighborhood research. I love to find charming, off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods to give a more local perspective. Once you\u2019ve found a few neighborhoods that utterly sweep you off your feet, photograph the best exteriors you can find, block by block. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hold your camera up as high as you can, and always be sure to shoot as straight as possible to get a symmetrical look at fascinating facades. It goes without saying, but triple check to make sure your camera is properly aligned on every axis in relation to the subject. Should you happen to find some off-kilter images you\u2019d like to edit, I recommend the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/skrwt.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skrwt<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> app to straighten out the image.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_62371\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-62371\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-62371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/brooklyn-bridge-nastasia-yakoub-dametraveler.jpg\" alt=\"city photos Nastasia Yakoub Dame Traveler\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/brooklyn-bridge-nastasia-yakoub-dametraveler.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/brooklyn-bridge-nastasia-yakoub-dametraveler-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/brooklyn-bridge-nastasia-yakoub-dametraveler-38x50.jpg 38w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-62371\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brooklyn Bridge, New York City (Photo by Nastasia Yakoub)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><b>2. Time shoots around golden hour&nbsp;<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shooting during the harsh midday light can be a nightmare when shooting city photos. You\u2019ll find that skyscrapers and multi-storied buildings create shadows that can be a real pain to overcome. That\u2019s why I always try to organize my city exploration shoots during golden hour. The golden light radiates off of every corner of exteriors, bringing excellent light and a nostalgic, cozy feeling to any facade or exterior you may be shooting.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_62368\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-62368\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-62368\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/HongKong-nastasia-yakoub-dametraveler.jpg\" alt=\"city photos Nastasia Yakoub Dame Traveler\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/HongKong-nastasia-yakoub-dametraveler.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/HongKong-nastasia-yakoub-dametraveler-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/HongKong-nastasia-yakoub-dametraveler-40x50.jpg 40w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-62368\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hong Kong (Photo by Nastasia Yakoub)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><b>3. Capture city life in its fullest<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to capture the city as life is happening! Stride-by city photos are a great way to make any moment feel real and tangible while illustrating the buzz of city life. Movement and blurred lines can be fun to play with, so have fun with longer exposures in between capturing crisp images.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re short on time to explore your city, but you\u2019re aiming to capture as many images as possible, book a trip on a Hop-On-Hop-Off bus when you first arrive. If you&#8217;re unfamiliar with a city&#8217;s layout, it&#8217;s a great way to get a feel for where major attractions are, and you can take mental notes of the places you want to go back to and photograph later. These busses are also elevated if you sit on the top level, which is an excellent way to give your shots perspectives a little higher above ground.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_62373\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-62373\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-62373\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SydneyOperaHouse-nastasia-yakoub-dametraveler.jpg\" alt=\"city photos Nastasia Yakoub Dame Traveler\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SydneyOperaHouse-nastasia-yakoub-dametraveler.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SydneyOperaHouse-nastasia-yakoub-dametraveler-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SydneyOperaHouse-nastasia-yakoub-dametraveler-40x50.jpg 40w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-62373\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sydney Opera House, Sydney (Photo by Nastasia Yakoub)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><b>4. Challenge yourself to re-think popular locations<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Major sights in major cities have been shot over and over again. So how can you bring new life to an over-shared location? That\u2019s the challenge, isn&#8217;t it? Challenge yourself to find more creative perspectives of overdone locations by giving yourself room to experiment. Look into public spaces you can visit to gain a different perspective of a major bridge or attraction, shoot from the hip or from the ground, play with textures and soft focus\u2026 the possibilities are limitless, you just have to give yourself a few minutes to have fun with your shooting!<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_62372\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-62372\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-62372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/MexicoCity-Jacarandas-nastasia-yakoub-dametraveler.jpg\" alt=\"city photos Nastasia Yakoub Dame Traveler\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/MexicoCity-Jacarandas-nastasia-yakoub-dametraveler.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/MexicoCity-Jacarandas-nastasia-yakoub-dametraveler-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/MexicoCity-Jacarandas-nastasia-yakoub-dametraveler-40x50.jpg 40w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-62372\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jacarandas, Mexico City (Photo by Nastasia Yakoub)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><b>5.

If you have the flexibility to schedule your city trip any time of the year, a quick Google search should show you peak foliage season to help time your trip. Flowers, foliage, and changing seasons instantly make shots more interesting and textural. Not to mention, colorful blooms add dimension and a new twist on familiar sights.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s nothing quite like the energy of a bustling city, is there?
