This is fundamental skill if you want to be a good street photographer and only experience on the street can give this. It is not a workshop or any book to be useful for this, you have to work with yourself. Of course, on the street.

The preview of a scene is what makes you snap to go and photograph it, but you have a camera and you are not one of those new guys using a smartphone: you must be able to dissemble, perhaps photograph passing in profile with respect to the scene, maybe shooting from the hip. Only in that way with a camera you can achieve nobody is looking at you.
