Street photography, as simple as it may sound is not easy when it actually comes to framing the perfect shot. But that’s the thing, there is no ‘perfect shot’ when it comes to this style of photography, for what is essential is your subject and how you make it interesting.

The myriad sounds, colours and movements is what make up a big city like Delhi. The city’s chaotic nature, coupled with its traffic, colourful streets and even more colourful language, presents a very interesting experience. Spend enough time here and it grows on you with each new part you discover. Navigating this huge city to look for the perfect photo-op can be a task, so here are some iconic places most loved by street photographers.

A photographer’s delight, the oldest and the busiest market of the city is wild, authentic and an explosion of senses. This endless sea of market sells everything you can imagine, and more. Here’s a handy tip: wake up early and make your way to the market. This will ensure there aren’t too many people around and you can safely document the area well and get some interesting shots.

Connaught Place

Although not as chaotic as Old Delhi, this area has a stream of shops, restaurants, hotels and bars lined up in an organised, geometrical pattern. Connaught Place offers a more urban and modern scene, busy with traffic and pedestrians. Central Park, a large circular green space filled with locals is a popular spot to hang out and photograph.

This is one place in Delhi which has a curious collection of wildly different attractive spots. It has ancient forts, a beautiful lake, fashion boutiques, barrs, cafes and markets. The diverse range of aesthetics, especially that of vintage monuments contrasting with an urban lifestyle is what attracts both tourists and photographers from all over. The unusually open vibe is very welcoming and has resulted in this area turning into a funky, hipster marketplace.

An underrated place, Sunder Nursery definitely lives up to its name. A carpet of different kinds of flowers stretches for as far as the eye can see. This huge 90-acre garden has a lot to offer with its mini-forest, walking trails, pretty ponds and vintage monuments. This is the perfect spot for a photoshoot of any kind.

If you visit Delhi, you shouldn’t go back without coming to the Dargah at least once. Apart from its lively atmosphere and melodious Sufi nights, it is a hotspot of hustle and bustle and is full of life. The surrounding markets and monuments are a point of interest as well.

The iconic railway station of New Delhi is its pride and glory, Being the fourth busiest station in India, it gets its fair share of commuters from all over the country and hence, is a kaleidoscope of movement and colour. The main Paharganj Bazaar which lies nearby and has a very hippie-backpacker vibe due to the influx of foreign tourists.
