Jim Barker, Side eyes (BLACK & WHITE 2023)

More often than not, when you lift your enormous Canon to make a photo of a stranger you're spotted and the shot disappears quicker than 1/500 of a second. Enter: Shooting from the hip. I find the approach has netted me a greater ratio of shots, and on my recent honeymoon to Paris and Morocco I put it to use successfully again, and again, and again (much to my beloved's chagrin).
