Steve Ricoh Posted January 7, 2016 Share #3 Posted January 7, 2016 Like it! You have a certain 'photographic signature' unique to yourself (well, obviously I can't say that as fact, but you know what I mean) and that's a happy place to be!! Really nice work.

the warrior Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted January 7, 2016 Yes, I know what you tell me, my students I teach them not to copy the styles of other photographers, each must "sign" his works.I remember the master Ansel Adams said that sometimes the manufactured "parrots".Regards. Many thanls to all you. Another shot for all you: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ricoh Posted January 7, 2016 Share #5 Posted January 7, 2016 Jhon, if I promise not to copy you would you be kind enough to explain how you get the look in these two excellent shots in this thread of yours? It sounds as like you teach photography - is that correct, and if so where may I ask? Thanks, Steve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ricoh Posted January 8, 2016 Share #6 Posted January 8, 2016 I can't edit my own post, so add the addendum here. Exploring your 'excellent' Flickr gallery, I see they were taken through a B&W soft #1 filter. I love the effect! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A miller Posted January 8, 2016 Share #13 Posted January 8, 2016 I am not sure that I a big fan of the blurred effect. It is art, for sure, and interesting. But it doesn't speak to me. But I am sure that it speaks to others and I would encourage it if it works for you. With regard to general "street photography" with flash, as with anything in life there is always something or someone who is "upping" the game. Check out this guy from (I think) the UK, Gareth Bragdon... https://www.flickr.com/photos/garethbragdon/ Not an avid Leica user, but a very cool photographer nonetheless. I don't think I've seen anything quite like it on the same level of consistency, including from Mr Gilden... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwpics Posted January 9, 2016 Share #16 Posted January 9, 2016 Great images for sure, but the technique could be in danger of being overused if you are not careful. Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the warrior Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share #17 Posted January 9, 2016 Steve Ricoh and others friends, I would love to offer a workshop to friends so far, which are also free forever, but my problem is my poor English, if you speak Spanish I'm happy to do without that problem. True my friend gwpics, I'm finishing a series of this work and then do something else, you can see my flickr and realize what we mostly do, thanks for the advice. Regards to all.

stuny Posted January 9, 2016 Share #18 Posted January 9, 2016 I fund these to be wonderful, and more than a bit disturbing. Well done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ricoh Posted January 9, 2016 Share #19 Posted January 9, 2016 I agree Stuart, but in terms of technique it must take 'globes of steel' to point a camera at 1m range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmans Posted January 9, 2016 Share #20 Posted January 9, 2016 Great images for sure, but the technique could be in danger of being overused if you are not careful. Gerry As I said earlier...I like the look....but I agree with Gerry that 'one technique' can be overused. Now, not to say you have for you are showing your creativity here but I can see using this type of technique from time to time to highlight certain images over others. For instance, I like numbers 1,2 and 5....while some of the others don't quite have the same 'visual narrative' as images 1 ,2 and 5 have. But if nothing else, this thread shows us the creativity that can be had, and should be strived for by all....I am part of one photo club that is 'boring, boring...' ...THIS is the way it should be as opposed to I am part of a second photo club that encourages for creativity in the taking of photos and the processing of. I also like your images for they represent true street photography images. Many people are afraid to get close or they take photos of the obvious situation with no visual narrative to be told within the image, or they take photos from behind the person, or their photos are just street images minus any people. But I also realize that is my opinion of what good street photography is ('you can smell the street by looking at the photo'---Bruce Gilden). jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
