Yard Tuesdays: Zoom In/Get Tight
ZOOM

GET TIGHT
When I say "zoom" above, I don't mean telephoto lens.
What I meant is a way of looking when one is out on the streets.
Let your eyes mentally "zoom in", and your cameras frame it tight.
Street Photographers gets close to their subjects most of the times,
but some likes to get closer than the others.
Bruce Gilden is one that comes to mind when we talk about getting close.
His style is literally "in-your-face!" and complete with flash,
the results are amazing (and divisive).
However, each of us has our own way of doing it to achieve different results.
What makes a Street Photographer get cl
People, friends, often ask me:
"Why photograph strangers, why travel thousands of miles to go and get intimate with complete strangers... take their pictures and walk away? Why?"
It's a very good and deeply introspective question, in my opinion. It's a good question because I do spend a lot of effort (and money) getting to these places and getting these shots. It's introspective because there has to be a reason for me doing this, a reason that says something about me, who I am, what I value in life.
Life is hard, life can be really hard, but it is all relative. I am not saying I feel better personally seeing people struggle more than me. E

How to be a street photographer in four lessons
'How to be...a photographer in four lessons' is a satyrical notebook written by Brussels-based photographer Thomas Vanden Driessche http://www.howtobe.be/htb/index.php?/thebook/english-edition/ (english edition) http://www.howtobe.be/htb/index.php?/thebook/french-edition/ (french edition).
In strips of four typewritten lessons and four Photo Booth images each - it offers the basic gist of how you can instantly become great in contemporary photography, war photography, conceptual photography, street photography, marriage photography, and much more. I enjoyed it because it highlights with humor and wit the stereotypes and spinoffs of certain tr

We had been on the road for three weeks. We had just done an overnight flight from Rio, gone through customs and taken trains from JFK to Penn Station.
After an American diner breakfast, me and my buddy Hans decided to take the subway down to Chinatown. We had about 4 hours before we had to be back at Penn for the trip back to JFK for another overnighter to Sweden. So. No time to lose, might as well start shooting on the subway ride!

Many Street Photographers seem to share a fascination with ambiguous, surreal, humorous happenings.
Sometimes the crazy, unbelievable, scenes happen right there in the street, in front of our eyes, in the everyday life. Sometimes it is the photographer's eye that makes everything look crazy.
Some photographers though seem to be real crazy magnets, as the following collection can prove you...

“I became a photographer because it’s the easiest way for me to tell things about myself. My view of coming into this world, living and eventually dying.” - Lukas Vasilikos
“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life,” said Picasso. But what is art, what is reality, and what is the relationship between them? Does art help us to escape reality or force us to face it? I think it does both. Moreover art and reality could be interchangeable, mixed into sharp slices of everyday life. We can see it in the works of one the most interesting and original contemporary street photog

Street Photography
What is Street Photography?
There are so many things that Leiter and Fellig, two great photographers, have taught us. They are two photographers who are the antipodes and perhaps not even street photographers. I don’t think street photography can be taught, and I guess that the best way is to follow your own instincts. But certainly by looking at the images of these two great photographers you can reflect and learn ways to get to know yourself . The most important thing is for your work to have its own personality and never let yourself be influenced by styles, fads and definitions.
Here we have two opposite characte
