Photography Tips
Use a wide-angle lens and shoot during golden hour for the best light. Capture reflections and candid street moments to show the atmosphere. Experiment with different angles and shallow depth of field for creative shots. For umbrella installations, focus on color and patterns. At night, use a tripod for long exposures. Always respect people’s privacy and local rules.
