Mastering Composition With a 35mm Lens

In this video, I explore how the 35mm focal length transformed my approach to street photography. Unlike tighter lenses that isolate subjects, the 35mm immerses you in the scene, demanding thoughtful composition, presence, and connection. I share the lessons I’ve learned, how to frame stories, manage visual chaos, embrace spontaneity, and use layering and light to build depth and emotion. This lens taught me that great photography isn’t just about what you shoot but how you see. 📸 In This Video, You’ll Learn: ✅ Why 35mm forces you to compose with intention ✅ How to frame for stories, not just subjects ✅ The art of organizing visual chaos into energy ✅ How layering adds narrative and depth ✅ How light transforms from exposure to emotion ✅ And why the 35mm isn’t just a lens—it’s a mindset shift 💬 Let’s Talk!
