I made this Playbook!
Hello, I'm Polly Rusyn...
I’m a professional photographer, speaker, and author, and I’ve been teaching street photography for 9 years. I’ve deconstructed 1000s of images searching for the secret sauce of what makes a great street photo. And I’ve shared my insights, knowledge and experience with 100s of street photographers.
My street photography has been awarded and exhibited internationally at a number of street photography festivals, and published in various magazines. I have given talks about street photography for top brands such as Nat Geo Traveller and Fujifilm. I've contributed to books including "Women Street Photographers" (Gulnara Samoilova), "The Travel Photographer's Way" (Nori Jemil), and "Reclaim The Street" (Stephen McLaren and Matt Stuart).
My superpower is being able to explain things in concise and entertaining ways so that you can easily start applying new ideas and concepts to your street photography straight away, and have fun doing it. I'm so excited to share my insights with you in this awesome digital playbook!
"Everything is learnable."
"Everybody takes a picture, but taking a picture is very different from making a photograph. A photograph is something that has an idea, that you give shape to, whereas a picture has no consciousness."
— JOEL MEYEROWITZ

DISCLAIMER - The photos you get as a result of this Playbook are very dependant on your overall street photography skills and imagination — all of which is learnable by the way! This Playbook is designed to help train your observation, not to define what you photograph. It’s been created to inspire you, not to limit you. Use it as a tool and a way to warm up your brain and tune your eyes. Snapping something isn’t enough to make a good photo, you still have to consider the light, the composition, the moment, the story, and all the other elements in the frame. This Playbook isn't a substitute for in-person training but it will 100% give you plenty of ideas, insights, and inspiration to get you started on one of the best creative adventures you've ever been on.
