Street Photography for the Purist

(coco) #1

Something else I enjoy about street shots are when the person (be it in main focus or someone else in the frame) is looking at you or at the camera. I
like these photos when you don't see that the person realizes the camera but just looks in your direction. That happens when you're so quick that you
take the facial expression and look of the eyes before the person realizes that you take a photo. It's a question of seconds or even milliseconds!
In short ... street photography made me love photography even more and that's why I'm so thankful that I went analogue. Because of street
photography I can enjoy my work more, since it is more balanced. I have a counterpart to my commercial work.
You can capture with your mind or with your heart. Sometimes with both.. but mainly street photography and analogue is with my heart and displaysmy feelings. Work is a technical challenge and conceptual or private architectural photography is a challenge for my mind... but the heart, the
heart is street photography and when I write this, I realize it more and more.
