Doc Henry Posted April 19, 2015 Share #41 Posted April 19, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi Cuthbert , in fact I think that there is different ways of presenting the SP, I see two that come to my mind - a perspective presentation of a street scene such as a presentation given at a time (T) of a shot of this scene It's "static", case of Cuthbert photo - also street picture "dynamic" or "active", as does so well Adam by surprise effect. The photographer literally "pounces" on the subject (forgive me for this expression Adam)Opinion of Ric which opened a thread for street Photo ?

carl_valiquet Posted April 20, 2015 Share #42 Posted April 20, 2015 Call me a «passé» photographer if you wish, but when I think of street photography names invariably come to my mind like: HCB, René Burri, William Klein, Robert Frank, Avedon (his models in the street environment), Gilbert Duclos and more. A magazine like Inspired Eye by Olivier Duong and Don Springer (both great photographers) continues, in my opinion, in the same vein. And yes, Adam (Miller) I agree with you when you write: «It could be that other people's viewpoints could cause your own tastes to evolve. This is perfectly fine, and I think even important. But at the end of the day it is between you and yourself....» Street photography is an open concept like an open street or road. C* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

erl Posted April 20, 2015 Share #44 Posted April 20, 2015 1) Aren't we suppose not to interfere with the subject in SP? 2) Then is this a better SP shot? To your first point: There will always be situations where 'interfering' with the subject are fine and can still be called 'street photography'. To your second ponit, yes that is a good example of SP. I like the multi layered levels of interest in your image. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manoleica Posted April 21, 2015 Share #47 Posted April 21, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Doc Henry, I'm not impressed with your photographic ethics..

erl Posted April 21, 2015 Share #51 Posted April 21, 2015 The issue of photographing people who 'do not want to be photographed' is a tricky one. It requires a certain amount of self examination. Doc henry, I wonder if the lady expressed the desire not to be photographed (by any means), or do you just know/assume she does not because she is Muslim? I have a policy that I follow always in foreign countries (often Isamic) that "if no one has been offended, no harm has been done." IOW, if the subject is genuinely unaware of the photography, they cannot be offended. The only harm that can be done is to their psychy, so ignorance of the event is their protection. If discovered during the photography I believe it is important to apologise if any discomfort or distress is evident. Reportage and documentation will always be fraught with anomolies. An acute awareness of sensitivities is paramount in photographers who practice in thse areas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manoleica Posted April 22, 2015 Share #52 Posted April 22, 2015 Being an old Fleet Street hack, having covered all aspects including the IRA bombings in London, I have on many occasions had my conscience step in, but the image was and will always be the prime target. Off the job, I always respected others wishes. dochenry showed an arrogance that I felt was uncalled for, hence my Post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted April 22, 2015 Share #53 Posted April 22, 2015 What I said in my post with the photo that "I thought" ... but look at her face, she is not angry ! I am secular and the majority are in France, people "sectarian" are a minority here. I never have a problem with people about race and religion.

Cuthbert Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share #57 Posted April 22, 2015 The problem of shooting people who don't want to be shot is an itchy issue, not just with Muslim people, in the UK for instance I met some people who were paranoid: for instance in Chinatown (London) I took a panoramic shot of a street and then I realised there was a guy who covered his face with a paper bag, in another instance an old lady complained because I took a shot of a river and she thought my lens was pointing at her, and finally once I took a picture of a flower in a garden and the owner of the house shouted at me angrily asking what I was daring to do (and I was outside his property, mind you), for this instance I prefer to take pictures unnoticed. Coming back to my pics, I prefer the first one in B&W, in the second one I was trying to shoot the guy unnoticed because he was staring at something in front of him with a meditative air...then he noticed me because I wasn't quick enough (due to my relative position to the window pane I wanted to get as much DOF as possible so I fiddled with the controls of the camera for too long. Besides that the reflection is too strong, a polarised filter would have helped to keep some balance between the dark interior of the cafeteria and the bright reflection of the outside world but you know, with film you can't never be 100% of what you get until you develop.

tookaphotoof Posted April 23, 2015 Share #58 Posted April 23, 2015 I actually don't think the reflection is too strong. Maybe because I like reflections. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
