Comic Con
Street Photography has a lot to do with confidence, this can show and impact on your photography, not quite getting close enough or the right angle.
The best way to build confidence is to go out and actually practise your Street photography. There is another way which I have found to be beneficial is to go to conventions where they are much more receptive to having their photo taken. Comic Con is one of those conventions.
This was just lucky timing for me, I was actually at ‘The Photography Show’ in Birmingham and had not realised that Comic Con was on at the same time. I had come out of the show for some fresh air and there were all these Cosplayers walking around looking fantastic and very willing to have their photograph taken. I have been a few times since to the London show, it is also great for a few candid shots of Cosplayers in normal situations which I find works well for Street Photography.
