Blue Hour Streets

‘Cinematic Street Photography’ isn’t just the title of my latest photography book, but also my motto for taking at least one photographic stroll in every city I visit. I try to capture everyday scenes and photograph people going about their daily lives as unobtrusively as possible, so that these images can later be made to look like scenes from a blockbuster film during post-processing. If you’re familiar with my photos, you’ll know that I specialised in a dark, moody look.

That’s why I particularly love taking photos after dark – often even in fog or rain. That’s how I try to create this atmospheric look. Of course, you need the right equipment for photos like these. In my case, that’s the Sony A7RIII combined with telephoto focal lengths and a wide aperture. For these photos, I used my beloved Tamron 70-180mm F2.8, which has an incredibly reliable autofocus, which is a huge advantage for this kind of photography.

Glasgow city centre is truly ideal for cinematic street photography, as it has a very urban and gritty feel. At the same time, there are always plenty of people about. The streets are partly laid out in a grid pattern, so you can often photograph streets far away through narrow alleyways. If you’re patient and wait for someone to cross the street at just the right moment, you’ll be rewarded with some particularly fascinating shots. Glasgow’s character also reminded me in parts of US cities like Chicago and Seattle. So if you’re looking for that vibe, I can highly recommend the Scottish metropolis.

The Getxo seafront promenade is a scenic and relaxing route that runs along the coast of Biscay, notable for its views of Abra Bay, stately homes and access to beaches such as Ereaga. It connects the Old Port of Algorta with the Suspension Bridge (Las Arenas), offering an ideal setting for a walk.
