THE APPRENTICE

CASSIDY GRACE

CAMERA: NIKON Z 6

Cassidy is from Cardiff, and is finishing her bachelor’s degree in journalism and media at Bristol’s University of the West of England. She enjoys travel and portrait photography, but wants to spend more time capturing the city she’s called home for the past few years.

TECHNIQUE ASSESSMENT

Colin showed Cassidy how to set up her camera to maximise her chances of capturing eye-catching street shots

MANUAL MODE

Colin says… I shoot in Manual mode unless I’m using a point-and-shoot camera as I need to be able to rely on my settings. Street photographers have to act quickly, and although automatic functions work well most of the time, you need to ensure the camera doesn’t deliver any surprises.
