Gear talk and street portraits with Craig Clark

When I met Craig at a recent street photography event, I knew I’d have a lot to talk about with this not so seasoned street photographer. Craig didn’t take up street photography all that long ago, but he’s already created some beautiful work.

In addition to having a natural eye for street shots, Craig is already quite dedicated to his craft. Here’s what an average day shooting looks like for Craig: He wakes up at 3am (yes, you read that right), takes a train into Washington DC, walks the streets at painfully early hours, and is home in time for breakfast with his kids.

A fellow Leica user, Craig and I had plenty to talk about gear wise, but we also talked quite a bit about Craig’s approach to street portraits. Click the audio player to listen in to our conversation.
