Our school travelled to St Malo for street photography. St Malo is a walled city on the English channel coast and is a popular tourist centre and has a lot of historical value. We where trying to capture the ‘decisive moment’, coined by Henri Cartier-Bresson. This is where there was little planning involved (the furthest I planned was waiting at specific areas where I think an interesting moment could happen). I was looking for photos that looks classically ‘French’ as we where in France after all. I also did a few photos of just the French architecture, with their colourful French shutters and bright doors. Here are a few of my favourite photos with a small amount of colour editing:

Biuldings:

These photos would go very well together in a topology so I have edited them with similar settings so I can do this later on. I tried to capture the unique buildings in St.malo, that maybe had so moss growing, old paint, graffiti, and more to give the images more life.

People:

Here I mostly cropped to keep to the rule of thirds, making the subject more prominent, However with some cases I thought it looked better to forget about the rule of thirds, like when the subject is moving quickly off the scene. I have a few strong images that I will edit further and try a ‘Bresson style’ B&W photo.
