STREET PHOTOGRAPHY FEATURESTREET ON DA
dA, as any community on the internet has its pro's and con's. For me the best part of dA has been The Yard Collective #The-Yard-Collective, a group for street photography aficionados of all skill levels from all corners of the world. For the last year I have had the priviledge of leading this group, but as of today this is no longer the case. Instead *NunoCanha is its new Skipper.
Anway, it was a blast and as a tribute to The Yards members as well as to the genre of street photography itself, I below showcase some of my favorite images that belong to the group. (Sorry fellow group admins, only non-admin members only, after all, they are the blood that is being pumped through the groups vains.)

Aspect Ratio, Composition, Present and FuturePhotography is simply a technology that allows you to record a moment in time, in a box that simply captures a moment of light. Simple and basic as that, no myth there.
But the decision on how to capture that moment and its variables like composition, time and subject matter remain in the hands of photographer.
Let's talk about that box, how it affects composition, and the time we live in. Photographic technology has developed at a rapid pace. From the 19th century's cumbersome daguerreotypes to today's compact digital cameras, photography has become one of the most accessible art mediums, but more related to motion pictures that we might think, being at the same time influence and influenced by each other.
4:3 (1.33)
The original aspect ratio used by the motion picture was industry was 4:3, or ratio down to 1.33:1, or just 1.33. Theories why vary from from Euclid's famous Greek "Golden Section", a shape of approximately 1.6, to a shape that simply saved m

Decisive Moment vs Moment to DecideHenri Cartier-Bresson defines "The Decisive Moment" as follows:
"There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative. Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever."
However, Henri Cartier-Bresson didn't only take one single photograph when he saw a decisive moment ready to happen (David Hurn refers to this as a "pregnant moment") but rather took several images of the same scene.
That truth is reinforced by the fact that "Gare" is one of only two photographs I know of that Cartier-Bresson cropped. There was a fence off to the left, and he didn't have time to move to the right before it was time to shoot.
You can see the original, un-cropped version in his book, Henri Cartier Bresson: Scrapbook.
If you look carefully at the masters work like Cartier-Bresson, Elliott Erwitt, or

When Light is of WeightSOMETIMES LIGHT ALMOST BECOMES THE SUBJECT, AND WHEN IT HAPPENS THE RIGHT WAY, I LOVE IT!

Edge FeatureOur Edge Gallery features the best unorthodox work, known as “Edgy”. Chosen between our members submissions, it promotes the experimental kind of work, all that inspiring and appealing photography that you can almost call Photographic Fine Art. Displays provocative or discomforting qualities, as from audacity or innovativeness.
And we love it.

If you have some work related with the :iconTheYardPlayground: Challenge, "Taking a Break", between all those pixels, please do join the fun.

A competition between a peacock displaying its beautiful feathers and a gorgeous girl posing for the cameras. In its simplicity and elegant framing the image holds the imagery of beauty and vanity. The white feathers/white dress and the similar pose of girl and peacock are nice additions to the impact of the image.

Saul Leiter - Vertical and AbstractAs you know, I normally don't do (features) Journals.
The exception goes to those photographers that had some historical importance in the photography World, those that influence(d) me, those that I believe can move others like they moved me, humanitarian photographers, and that normally live in the "shadow" of the same old Features and references.
This one is not the case, because I'm talking about Saul Leiter.
He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, his father was a well known Talmud scholar and Saul studied to become a Rabbi. At age 23, he left theology school and moved to New York City to become an artist. He had developed an early interest in painting, like so many photographers. His mother gave him his first camera, a Detrola camera, when he was 12 years old.
He was soon taking black and white pictures with a 35 mm Leica, which he acquired by exchanging a few Eugene Smith (exceptional photographer from Life magazine, among others) prints for it. By 1948 he began to ex

Tony Ray-JonesTony Ray-Jones, whose photographic career spanned only one decade, defined a new way of looking at his own society — with irony, nostalgia, compassion and humor. He was prolific in his short 10 years, and his point of view exerted an enormous influence on the development of British documentary art photography from the 1970s through the present.
His photographs are documentary, almost anthropological by nature, and make keen observations on contemporary British society.
"Photography can be a mirror and reflect life as it is, but I also think that perhaps it is possible to walk like Alice, through a looking-glass, and find another kind of world with the camera."
