Everybody Street from Alldayeveryday on Vimeo. |
I've just watched a film from New York called "everybody street". The movie featured several photographers included Joel Meyerowitz, Boogie, Elliot Erwitt, Jill Freedman and Bruce Davidson. I've learned how photographers behave, for example, they carry their cameras everywhere they go because they could miss a good shot and there's life everywhere. They also behave physically because they see good shots and they are able to take multiple shots. Their behaviour was "balletic" which could describe the energy and grace of a dancer. One of the featured photographers said he was acting like a "samurai". That could mean he was quick and he moved swiftly while taking pictures.

I think my attempts were okay, I need to add more expression and life into pictures. The picture above shows the society's view of the government, or just one person's view. It is related to street photography because it shows the life and ideas of people on the everyday streets.

I liked this picture because it is dark. I think it is street photography because it was a person looking out the window, but the viewer won't know the emotion of the kid. It shows some kind of life and idea of how people live everyday.

Bruce is a street photographer who mostly works on the streets in New York. He is famous for his up close images and ghostly effects on strangers. The effect is caused by a slow shutter speed on moving objects.
In the video he used are wide and low camera angles, different light sources, movement (ghosting effect), closeness of the photographer to the main subject, people"s expressions, 'character' - emotion, feeling, expression etc. |
This image was taken in London by Bruce Gilden. I like it because of the ghostly effect, as it makes women stand out and it makes it look one is moving really fast.
If I made pictures like this I would be scared because you're taking a close approach to people and taking pictures without their permission. I think the people in the photograph are felt surprised. Picture was taken by a fast and bright camera and a flashlight is shining straight on their face. The photographer has to be inquisitive to challenge themselves and be persistent to stick with difficulty. |
photo challenge 4, rule of thirds |
This photo is by Gary Winogrand. It is my favourite photo so far because it has nice correlation and the main subject is in the middle of the image and is standing out perfectly. It is based on street photography. I like it because the main subject is bright but the people behind are dark which makes the woman stand out more and makes an effect, though a viewer can't overlook men behind her looking at her. I think that this image goes with the third rule.

The slideshows on the right shows a correlation in a photography. It is by Henry Cartier-Bresson.
