my vision:

Focusing on “Layers” in your street photography means intentionally arranging elements in the foreground, middle ground, and background to create a sense of depth, inviting viewers to explore the scene and adding visual interest. Think of it as building a story within a frame, where each layer contributes to the narrative or overall mood. This technique can transform a simple street scene into a complex and engaging photograph. Consider how light, shadow, and color can further enhance the depth and storytelling potential of each layer.
