We went to St Malo for a day trip for our street photography project. The setting was perfect for street photography as we were in the walls of st malo, lots of little side street and people around.

My images and final out comes:

I decided to make this image black and white after editing it a bit, this is because the light in the sky was a bit too bright against the light colored buildings, black and white works better.

I like this image both ways as the colors in the coloured image really stand out, like the red on the mans shirt, and give the image some character. However, I made the choice to put it in black and white as it makes the image more authentic. It also emphasizes the focal point of the couple.

This image isn’t my strongest one as it is quite blurry, but as I’ve edited it and tempered with different settings, I’ve seen it from a different point of view. It kind of works as an action shot as it is only a bit blurry, also, the lady in the image ( the focal point), she isn’t looking at the camera at all as it wasn’t a staged photo. I like this about the image. I decided to put this in black and white because it distracts from the clutter in the image.

I like the composition of this image. It sort of appears staged as the man on the right is stood in a good position, however, its not. We began photographing in St Malo in the morning through to the afternoon so we were able to make images in the prime sun time. This photo was taken in the morning when the lighting was good.

This is one of my favourite images i took out of them all. I captured this old couple walking and it’s almost like they are foreshadowing the couple in the background of the image. This mage works well in colour as there’s lots of bright, vibrant colours in it; he yellow cap and pink shirt of the man on the left draws attention to the viewers.

This image juxtaposes itself. The foreground and background are highly contrasting. I placed a yellow line in the image to show the two different parts of the image. In the background (top of the yellow line) the buildings appear old and auethentic, the architecture of them is from a long time ago. This is because that building is really old, same with all the buildings and walls around St Malo, this is also why that particular part of St Malo worked really well for street photography.

-The St Malo town was built in 1689 by French King Louis XIV’s master military architect Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, the massive fortress was primarily intended to protect Saint-Malo from the British.

On the other hand, the foreground of the image (below the yellow line) is very modern. You can see clothing shops and cafes, even the people in the image contrast with the background as their fashion is modern day.

After editing this image, i found it resembles Robert Franks’ work.He captures images of people, however, some of his images are staged. The images that aren’t staged captured the moment of people in their everyday life.

I captured this image of 3 women walking in the streets of St Malo. Although the image is a bit blurry, i think it works really well and adds context to the image. The blurriness shows that i was mobile when i took this image and therefore captured these women in the moment clearly having a nice time.

I decided to put this image in black and white to distract from the clutter and over stimulating colours, the blur was enough.

I like this image of a little vintage shop I took. The colours accentuate the image. The spacing and layout of the image naturally works really well. I edited the saturation of the colours in the image and that is why the colours appear exaggerated.

I took this image from above. I thought id experiment with a different angle and composition.
