Satoshi Fujiwara
Satoshi is a photographer and artist based in Berlin. The portraiture she bases her work on mostly is up close images of human faces. These images are taken as street photography, with the models not knowing that they are being photographed. Some examples are seen below…
My experiments
These images i tried to get as close up as I could to the face but my camera would not focus if too close. There are two colorful images as for Satoshi’s work seems to have a lot of color to it. These images are not street photography images but have similarities to Satoshi’s work in the sense that the portrait taken is up close and cuts out the edges of the face. If i was to do this shoot again i would take some photos in town that way i could capture people in the moment and get some better images that linked to Satoshi’s work.
Elisha : for this to be really effective you will need to produce more dynamic angles and viewpoints, of different and even unexpected parts of the face / body.
Use manual focus…or your phone camera if you really need to.
This is an area of the project that you can create some strong and challenging images…
