- Where to stand
- The side streets lined with graffiti walls near the junction with Hanbury Street.
- Composition
- Place your subject to one side with the wall art behind, and run the street diagonally for depth. Wide walking shots in a street-snap style also work well.
Tips
- The art changes often, so check the latest walls before you go
- Don't block shop doors or residents' entrances
- The salt beef bagel at Beigel Bake is the classic food shot
