“I just started listening to Street Focus a few weeks ago, and I can confidently say that it has changed my life! I have been dabbling in various genres of photography (everything but street) for about 4 years, never really feeling 100% inspired by the various subjects I was shooting. One day, when searching for photography podcasts to listen to, I stumbled upon Street Focus. I was intrigued by the welcoming “Bonjour!” Valérie says at the beginning of each episode because I love France and their beautiful language. Listening to Valérie was immediately inspiring! She has such a passion for street photography, and it is contagious! When she talked about including the “human element” in photos, I finally realized what was missing in my photos: people! While landscapes are beautiful to shoot every now and then, I have now discovered how amazing it is to capture the beauty of the human spirit in my images.
On a recent trip to Chicago, I was able to incorporate many of the principles Valérie has taught me through her podcast to capture some amazing images. Never before have I come back from my travels feeling this excited about my photos! Her podcast has inspired me to really immerse in a city and capture what makes it so beautiful: its people.
Valérie is inspiring. You will want to pick up your camera and immediately “hit the streets” after every show. You won’t regret listening to this podcast; it may very well shape your photographic life, as it has mine!
Merci, Valérie!!”
