Street Photography is perhaps one of the hardest photography of all, because it includes taking photos of random people which might invade their privacy. If you are an introvert like me who doesn’t usually know how to approach strangers, well, good-luck coz it would be tough for you. There is nothing wrong in taking pictures of people randomly in public places as long as they are not identifiable from the first glance. But, for some instances, you have to deliberately take a photo of a person that’s what they call “street portraiture” where you have to take a head shot of a stranger. In taking “street portraiture” you should have ask for the subject’s consent.
Here are some of my shots when I wandered in places with my camera.
What a talent! Congratulations for the photos and thank you for sharing them with us. Each photo is telling a story, a life, and the sixth one with the old lady had a very emotional effect on me - difficult to describe.
Honestly, I’m in love with your pictures, what camera did you use? Have you ever done any photo exhibitions?
Since this is your first post, please take some time to read the following article which will help you in
The picture of the old lady is my favorite because it tells an unexplainable emotion. I love seeing old people, especially thier eyes, it tells a thousand stories.
Just as a reminder, don’t forget when responding to others make sure to tag them (by writing @ before their names) in a post so they can receive notifications that you are communicating with them.
Totally understand the Introvert moment, but how often do you do this kind of Photography, for what I see here is the beautiful impressions of everyday life.
The image with a person washing Hands, to me, is another level of artistry.
I wanna know how do you choose your subjects & place for it?
@ReemaGandhi Hi, Thank you for the interest on my photographs.
The aim of the pictures is to show the daily activities of people, here, I chose the local market specifically in fish section. Everyone is busy and they wont mind as you take a picture of them. As for the composition, since I am an amateur and just using the gear that is available to me (the kit lens and the camera), I was told by a professional photographer to capture the action rather than the person doing the action, in that way you can tell a story, a story which you want to be seen by the audience.
hope it answers some of your questions. I did this photowalk with some photographers last year and still looking for a motivation to do it again.
