It's a street photography technique which is admired and frowned upon at the same time. Unobtrusive, fast, but never random. Shooting from the hip is the main way I shoot on the street, and this video I'm going to show you why and how I shoot this way.
All of the black & white images in the video were edited with our SilverChrome profiles and presets for Lightroom:
