5 StepsStep one is to be there. That is the most important thing. I always keep a quote by Chuck Close in my mind when I'm not shooting, when I'm sitting at home and contemplating whether or not to get out of the house. I'm paraphrasing but it goes something like this: "Creativity is the product of curiosity and rigor." Curiosity gets you out of the house and going to specific places—likely places you have never been to before. Rigor gets you doing this consistently, even when you're shooting bad photos and feel discouraged. To get the good shots, you have to be there.
With that out of the way I do have a few specific techniques and ideas to keep in mind when shooting people in the streets. Since we already covered the first step, we could call this step two.

Wikipedia defines it as:
"an expression, idea, or element of an artistic work which has been overused to the point of losing its original meaning or effect, especially when at some earlier time it was considered meaningful or novel"
I quickly realized that a quick list of 5 types of photographs wouldn't suffice as in a couple months it could be obsolete. For instance, if you were to ask me a year ago I might have said black and white photographs but now street photography on the whole seems to be moving more towards colour street photographs.
Since particular cliché photo types in street photography can change as the popularity of shooting styles cha5 Street Photography Cliches by ~aaroffy
