SUMMARY
Max Kent introduces a composition technique called 'less is more' to combat cluttered street photography. He emphasizes isolating subjects, especially in crowded scenes, and avoiding overlapping elements that can ruin a shot. Kent also highlights the importance of creating depth by establishing clear foreground, middle ground, and background layers (FMB), which makes images feel three-dimensional and engaging.
