I have added some Pinterest boards, ‘Urban Style Men’, ‘Urban Style Women’, ‘Urban Style Kids’ and ‘Urban Style Couples’, providing visual reference and some posing tips for urban portraits and Birmingham Street Style project. This is just to let you know what kind of images inspire me – clean lines, bold shapes, reflections, dramatic light, set in urban environments, street style fashion is subtly directed rather than captured dead straight, etc. You can view these boards on my Pinterest page http://pinterest.com/gwallsphoto
