This Technique Will Transform Your Street Photography

Triangles are a powerful yet overlooked tool in street photography composition. In this video, I explore how they add structure, movement, and storytelling to your shots. Shooting in both Chinatown in London, and Brighton, I break down how triangular compositions naturally form—whether through people, objects, or the way light interacts with the environment. Triangles create flow, subtly guiding the viewer’s eye and connecting different elements in a frame. Whether obvious or abstract, learning to spot and use them can transform how you compose your shots. Even in chaotic street scenes, recognizing these patterns helps bring balance and depth. By the end of this video, you’ll start seeing triangles everywhere—and once you do, you won’t stop using them! Let me know in the comments if you’ve ever used triangles in your photography, or if you’ll start looking for them now.
