Street Photography – Photoshoot

I did this photoshoot in town. I took photos of the random people shopping in town. I found it hard taking photos of people as I didn’t want to make it too obvious that I was taking photos of them. I also struggled with keeping the photos in focus as both the subject and myself would be moving when taking the photos, and it was difficult to keep them in focus. I came out with a few photos that I liked but next time I would use a higher shutter speed to try and keep the subject in focus.

Edit 1:Edit 2:

Edit 3:The first thing I did with all of these edits was to make the photos black and white, so that my edits would look as similar as possible to Cartier-Bresson. I then adjusted the amount of black and white in levels to create shadows in the photos and create better contrast. I also increase the contrast the emphasise the shadows and lighter parts of the photos. The brightness also got adjusted as most of the edits were a little overexposed when I edited the photos, so I decreased the brightness so the photo wouldn’t be too bright and overexposed.

  1. Identity and Place : look at Rankin “Destroy” + double exposures and surrealist approaches to portrait making in photography.

    You could / should also look at David Hockney and his joiners too, and apply photo montage techniques.
