Tips
When to go
Best season
All months
Best time
Mid-day
Any month works perfectly for this shot (as long as it’s not raining!)
During mid-day the light will bring out the colors of the fire hydrant and surrounding architecture. The street is also likely to be the quietest with few or no people walking around!
Field tips
To support the minimalistic tone of the photo, your model can wear clean and mono-color attire.
I captured my model naturally walking down the street. Her relatively straight posture aligns well with the surrounding architecture.
A composition with an unexpected subject, like this fire hydrant, can add interesting value to your photograph.
I angled the leading lines of the wall with the sidewalk and road, and even the model’s feet. Composing the shot straight on would also look nice! Get creative!
