[POV] Street photography with the WRONG lens

#StreetPhotography #LondonStreetPhotography #StreetPhotographyPOV In this London street photography POV session, I take the Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 GM II into the city to find out if a telephoto zoom is really the “wrong lens” for street photography. Most street photographers usually prefer smaller lenses like a 28mm, 35mm or 50mm, but the 70-200mm gives a completely different way of seeing the street. It lets you compress the scene, isolate subjects, work with layers, and use light in a more cinematic way. In this walk, I photograph around London Bridge, the City of London and the surrounding streets, looking for silhouettes, reflections, golden hour light, architecture, double-decker buses, and quiet human moments inside the chaos of the city. Is the 70-200mm too big and too distant for street photography, or can it actually help you see London differently? Let me know in the comments: would you ever use a 70-200mm for street photography?
