STREET PHOTOGRAPHY
STREET PHOTOGRAPHY
|
“Everybody Street illuminates the lives and work of New York’s iconic street photographers and the incomparable city that has inspired them for decades. The documentary pays tribute to the spirit of street photography through a cinematic exploration of New York City, and captures the visceral rush, singular perseverance and at times immediate danger customary to these artists. Covering nine decades of street photography, “Everybody Street” explores the careers and influences of many notable photographers––a number of whom have never been documented, featuring: Bruce Davidson, Elliott Erwitt, Jill Freedman, Bruce Gilden, Joel Meyerowitz, Rebecca Lepkoff, Mary Ellen Mark, Jeff Mermelstein, Clayton Patterson, Ricky Powell, Jamel Shabazz, Martha Cooper, and Boogie, with historians Max Kozloff and Luc Sante."

"When I was seven I found old Life Magazines in the attic. My parents had kept the ones from the war and for a year I used to go up there after school, look at the pictures, cry, then go play softball. When my parents realized that I had found them and how they affected me, they burned them, but it was too late, those pictures had burned into my brain."

What I learned about street photography from the film 'Everybody Street'
What I learned about street photography from the film 'Everybody Street'
- How do street photographers behave?
- What kind of equipment do they use?
- What kinds of subjects interest them?
- Why do they like photographing on the street?
- What are the risks involved in street photography?
- What makes a successful street photograph?
Photo challenge-2This picture is by the great photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson.
Photo Challenge #2 - DiagonalsThe idea for this challenge comes from Eric Kim's great street photography site. Street photographs are often about dramatic situations or view points. Drama is created in pictures in lots of ways but using strong diagonal lines is one technique often used by street photographers.

Photos from 10/02/14
The Rule of Thirds (which is actually more of a guideline than a rule) is an imaginary grid that can help you make better photographs. As you can see in this diagram, your image is divided up into 9 segments by lines placed one third and two thirds across the surface. Some cameras have the option to turn these grid lines on in the viewfinder.
The idea is to compose your shot using the grid lines, the segments and the places where the lines cross to help you. Look at the slideshow below for some examples of how I have used the Rule of Thirds in taking my images.

Photochallenge3- Rule of thirdWWW:
I had good angles that would link together. Most of the pictures fit into the grid line even though some didn't it still worked a bit well. EBI: I could make some pictures still a little bit more interesting and fix in the grid more |

The Rule of Thirds Challenge
Use the guide opposite to help you collect photos using a range of Rule of Thirds compositions. Note: The pink section represents the subject, an area where our eyes might be drawn, the main part of the image. The white section should be of less interest, an area of open or negative space, which supports but doesn't dominate the main subject. Supplementary Challenge Attempt to take 5 photographs that DON'T fit into any of these compositional patterns. |
