Danny Santos is a well know street photographer. He lives in Singapore where he captures daily shots of life.

Santos works in many mediums of photography such as studio portraiture and street portraiture. He grew fascinated by strangers as he wanted to capture their different characters and personalities through the lens.

I was especially captivated by a series of images he took in the rain and he entitled it “Bad Weather”.

“I used to always stay at home whenever the rain comes in the weekends. Eventually, I realized how the rain always brings refreshingly interesting scenes on how people react with it. I have written an article about my thoughts and experiences on shooting in the rain.” – Danny Santos

Here are some of his images that caught my eye:

As a response to his photograph’s, I’d like to create my own set. I think that the people’s responses and facial expressions are great. It’s a great variety from sad and angry to happy and cheerful.

Specification:

Who?

I want to photograph random strangers that are walking down the street.

When?

I shall be taking these photographs during the afternoon so the lighting will be quite dim and dark. Since the clock has gone back the daylight available is scarce. Therefore I may have to use flash in order to see the people.

Where?

I’d like to take these pictures in a city environment as the bright lights and detailed backgrounds will add to the image. It also gives it that urban feel.

What?

I want to aim to get a minimum of 50 photographs so that I have a wide variety of shots to pick from. I want to make sure that I capture people facing the camera and that there are minimal shots of people’s backs.
