A field guide for street photographers.

London Locations2–3 hours

Camden, London

Camden, London

Camden Market, the Lock, the High Street, the canal. Loud, theatrical, deliberately strange. The market traders, the tourists, the goths, the tourists photographing the goths. Peak Parr territory.

Best time: weekend, all day. The earlier the better before it gets overwhelming.

Look for: the collision between the deliberately outrageous and the genuinely mundane. People who are there to be seen. People who are there despite themselves.

Camera Settings

Flash in daylight. Get close.

The Assignment

Photograph the tourists photographing the market. Find the meta-layer.
