I like doing portraits on the street, people do not protest much, always explain to where they once made photographs, but I do not like perched first shot and then ask ....
I quickly shot, do not give time to hide or to pose.
On the street there is to know "play" with the ambient light.

Thank you.

I'll let portraits on the street this afternoon, very dark, I like the dark and light in the windows.

 

Leica Monochrom, I really like the Lux 50mm ASPH Pre-E46, and I love working with difusior filter to lower the sharpness, I've always mounted on the Lux.

Jhon - 'bad boy' looks as though it was taken in a confined space, in a train I believe. Knowing how close you like to be to your subjects, 'bad boy' must have been aware of you photographing him, the sound of shutter, the camera pointing in his face, etc. Was there any reaction from him, and if so how did you defuse the situation, if indeed there was a 'situation'?

thanks to all.
This and other photographs are taken very close, no problem, men and women are almost always aware that I photograph them.
This guy had three friends on my left, and even they were fully aware of photography, but in most cases they choose to ignore this, just ignore me.

You must follow some "rules" for street photography of this type:
1: You have to be clear that it will take the picture.
2: You must be quick.
3: You should never doubt.
4. You're in control of the situation, and that should be noted.
5: You are the "alpha male of the pack."
6: You should be respectful and only makes one shot, you never makes the "bad guy" in the subject of the gaze of everyone else.
7: You always finish your work knowing that you have seen, and you always grateful elo with a gesture the situation, Arrina thumb and smile.
8: You quickly leaves the stage, never has time to think anyone unless you ask.
9: You are carrying the best photo without pose.
10: You're the fucking master, no matter who you have in front of your camera, you never show fear of anything or anyone.

Regards.

 

Remember, people always look the other way in front of the camera.

Yes, The warrior ... :p

 

Steve Ricoh Put a pillow under your ass to not hurt :rolleyes:

 

Well you must find your own way for street photography, not too have my case, Street Photography is the union of several things, attitude, fitness, vision, knowledge of people and street, a lot of walking and a lot of luck.

And with his camera should be comfortable, buy the best you can and the best for this job, in the end this also counts.

 

But this is just my opinion.

Technically great images, and I will probably be vilified for my next comments:: IMHO the subjects are being bullied, secondary there really is no story to the images:: you took them, you moved on..

 

Completely agree. There is a difference between reportage and 'street'... one requires empathy and a desire to tell a story worth being told, the other is often merely intrusive and superficial.
