So far, what I have learnt from the photoshoots I have done focusing on still life, landscape and portraiture is that I enjoy photographing people the most, or people in an environment.
My favourite photos so far are the ones I took in St. Malo, where I did candid photographs of people there, inspired by the French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, who pioneered street photography and explored capturing a decisive moment in photographs. This photoshoot was interesting because I was able to capture moments between people, or just an impromptu moment in time, keeping in mind the essence a photo which was not staged can convey.
Another photoshoot I enjoyed is one which, in contrast to the St. Malo photoshoot, was staged and involved my mum in her barber shop, inspired by Cindy Sherman’s photographs.
These are a few of the portrait photographs I took in a studio setting, which were also staged.
