To me, anything else, is really street photography as you are subject to uncontrollable source lighting. You posted a shot of a guy in a white hat recently, which to me was perfect. It was street photography, I think, but the lighting, composition and settings were perfect. I think if you want great portraites, you need to buy lighting. If you want great "street" shots, become a master of natural light. Once I began to revolve my shooting around lighting and gained a better understanding of it, I became a better photographer.</p></blockquote><p></p>
