How To Approach Street Photography In 12 Easy Steps.

08 Jan

Many photographers are timid about “shooting strangers” on the street which keeps them from even trying.  Street photography is all about telling a story in a single frame and that’s a beautiful thing.  It’s normal to be reluctant or shy, but these 12 steps will gently ease you into the wonderful world of street photography that exists in your hometown or anywhere else your travels take you. There are lots of stories out there waiting to be told.  Get your camera and let’s go!

There are stories waiting to be photographed everywhere you go.

1- Do I need permission?

In most countries, as long as you are in a public place, it is perfectly legal to photograph people for either editorial or fine art purposes. However, if you intend to use any of those images for stock photography, meaning using that photograph in advertising, then you need the proper model release form signed. Each country has its own laws and regulations about this, so please do your research before you photograph strangers in the streets.

2- Hit the streets with a friend.

It’s generally better to shoot street photography on your own.  Why?  You are more invisible that way. But if going on your own is a bit intimidating at first, take a friend along. It will help emboldened you, but also surprise you at how differently two people see the world.

3- Start in a crowd.

In my workshops I encourage new street photographers to start with a busy public place such as a street market or an outdoor event as a comfortable start.  You are more invisible in a crowd and can more easily overcome your fear of photographing strangers. Street performers are excellent street photography subjects to start shooting. After all, they are there to be seen and are used to being photographed plus they are part of the culture of the place you are visiting. Buskers perform to make a few bucks, so shoot away, and be generous with what you toss in their hat!

4- Find a stage.

As much as I enjoy walking for hours searching for that special moment, I often do a lot of standing and waiting if I find a really compelling background to use as a stage.  Once you find your stage, be patient and eventually the right people will walk through your frame.  When I am traveling I like to add a sense of place by carefully selecting the architecture in the background or finding signage in the local language.

5- Don’t forget silhouettes

Silhouettes are interesting subjects only if they are easily recognized. There should be no doubt as to what the image is. People with umbrellas, bicyclists or lovers holding hands are terrific silhouette images.

6- Street portraitures

I love the thrill of engaging a subject in a conversation!  For some of you this may be more intimidating than shooting candidly. For others, you can get over the apprehension by asking permission to make a portrait, so they are more at ease with the process. If you ask permission and it is granted, take your time. Then show them the picture on the back of your camera. Tell them why they caught your attention. Everyone enjoys a compliment!

7- Photographing children.

Basically, if they are in a public place, you have just as much right to photograph children as anybody else. Even so, it’s a good idea to get the okay from a parent first. My way is to simply nod towards them, show my camera and wait for their nod back. For the times when no one is around to give you the okay, use your best judgement.

8- Should you give a copy of the photograph to your subject?

When I do candid shots, I occasionally interact with my subject after I make the photograph. But mostly I’m invisible and they never know I took a picture. When I make a street portrait I engage them in a conversation and show them the picture on the back of the camera. If they ask for a copy I give them my card so they can email me for a digital file of their portrait. That’s the least you can do to thank them for their time.

9- Be confident and respectful. 

You are not doing anything wrong, but if someone objects to having their picture taken, don’t shoot! It’s not worth an argument. You may be well within your legal rights, but the most important thing is to be respectful of others. I would also urge you to avoid photographing people in vulnerable or embarrassing situations. Put yourself in their shoes. Would you feel comfortable being photographed that way? If the answer is no, then use your common sense and move on.

10- Follow your gut instinct. 

That’s an important step towards making street photography an enjoyable experience and one I always teach my students right away. If the situation feels wrong or dangerous, then it probably is. Trust your gut.

11- Color or B&W? 

This is totally a personal choice. There is no right or wrong answer. I prefer to process my images in black and white for its timeless quality, but some images are better in color and sometimes the subject is color. Let your artistic eye guide this decision.   But I will say that another advantage of monochrome is its ability to remove any distracting colorful elements from the frame, allowing the viewer to the be more drawn to the subject.

12- It’s your vision. 

Don’t let anyone tell you what does or doesn’t qualify as street photography, or what camera you should use. There are no official rules here. Street photography is all about telling a story, communicating an emotion. Your camera is an extension of your own artistic vision. Be patient. Trust your gut. Go out there and have fun!

 

Finding a stage and waiting for the right person to walk through your frame is part of story telling with a sense of place.

Silhouettes are interesting subjects only if the action is easily recognized.

When photographing children, use your best judgement if a parent is not present.

Street photography is about gesture and expression.

Street performers are great subjects, especially when you first get started.

Sometime the subject is all about color!

Street portraits are also part of street photography. I walked by this gentleman and thought he looked cool and told him so. He gave me the ok to make a portrait.

Several stories can happen in one frame.

The only time I bother to carry a tripod to do street photography is to shoot long exposures for some motion blur.

Street photography is not only about people…

Are you currently a street photographer or aspire to become one? Please share your experience with the dPS readers.

Guns of the Patriots – Tribute

08 Jan

Check out these visual art images:

Guns of the Patriots – Tribute
visual art
Image by -Marlith-
In the debate over video-games as an artistic medium, the Metal Gear Solid series is noted often for its deeply philosophical story, known to most critics as a piece of interactive art. Despite it being an action game and having the player engage in graphically violent actions, the game has a strongly underlying tone of pacifism. Topics discussed through the series include war’s futility, the effects of war on civilians, nuclear proliferation, deterrence and the absurdity of considering a person to be an “enemy”. The protagonist, Solid Snake, an espionage agent and the product of a government cloning project to manufacture genetically “perfect” soldiers, is forced by superiors to perform unethical and violent actions, killing hundreds of people in the process. Towards the end of the first game of the series, the antagonist accuses him of obeying orders because “he enjoyed all the killing”. Unable to deny this statement, this scene comes back to haunt the protagonist throughout the series, culminating in his attempted suicide to prevent himself from being used to kill more people.

In this piece, I depicted that protagonist, Solid Snake, apparently being in intense pain, presumably due to emotional stress inflicted by Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, crumbling away into dust. I used charcoal smeared upon charcoal paper to depict the dust. As the game deals heavily with nuclear proliferation and its threat to world peace, I tried to liken Solid Snake’s body and pose to a mushroom cloud. This symbolically represents the destructive and irrational method of attempting to achieve peace through violence. This piece relates to the theme of “spirituality” because, in the modern world, faith for many people justifies violence. A narrow interpretation of volatile texts can lead to deadly and divisive results. The terrorist attacks of 9/11 only divided the country, causing massive insecurity, intolerance, fear and close-mindedness in citizens. To relate the dangers of religious intolerance and fundamentalist interpretation to Metal Gear Solid, I played on the theme of violence and worked off the game’s philosophical commentary to create this piece.
I had a lot of fun conceiving the concept for this art piece. Video games present a large portion of my life (and spending money) and I sincerely appreciate them as a serious artistic medium. Thus, I wanted to use charcoal, a medium that I had not fully explored in the Memory Project, to develop a tribute to Metal Gear Solid, a franchise that I enjoy deeply. While working with it, I learned that excellent value effects could be achieved by smearing the charcoal with my fingers. This lent itself well to the visual depiction of Solid Snake crumbling away into dust. This was a fun piece to make and I feel that I effectively achieved my artistic goals in this tribute to Metal Gear Solid.

Unterwegs im Norden Irlands

08 Jan

Die grüne Insel zählt neben Großbritannien zu unseren Lieblingsreisezielen. Die Anreise geht zügig und an den Linksverkehr hat man sich schnell gewöhnt. Was einen erwartet, ist eine abwechslungsreiche Landschaft, spektakuläre Küsten, wechselhaftes Wetter und zahlreiche Schafe. Wir haben uns dieses Mal für Ende Juli als Reisezeit entschieden, in der Hoffnung, auch in Irland etwas Sommer zu haben.

Tja, mit Sommer und Sonne in Irland ist das so eine Sache. Egal wieviel man plant, es ist eigentlich immer ein Glücksspiel mit dem irischen Wetter. Grauer Himmel und tief hängende Wolken begrüßten uns nach unserer Ankunft in Antrim im Norden Irlands. Der Regen ließ auch nicht lange auf sich warten und so verbrachten wir den ersten Abend in unserem gemütlichen B&B und nicht an einem der spektakulären Strände Antrims.

Der nächste Tag begann ähnlich. Der Regen nahm sogar noch zu. Aber kein Grund, den Kopf in den nassen Sand zu stecken. Perfektes Wetter, um Wasserfälle zu fotografieren. Fast drei Sunden wanderten wir im strömenden Regen durch den Glenariff Forest Park. Mit Regenschirm am Stativ versuchte ich, etwas von der Stimmung einzufangen.

Ess-na-Laragh

Durchnässt fuhren wir nachmittags wieder zurück an die Küste. Für kurze Zeit zeigte sich nun sogar die Sonne. Das Ergebnis war eine ganz besondere Gegenlichtsituation am Whiterocks Beach. Solchem Licht begegnet man in Irland sehr oft, wenn das Wetter umschlägt. Diese Wechsel sind es, die Irland neben der Landschaft so interessant machen. Nach einer Viertelstunde war es mit dem goldenen Licht wieder vorbei und es deutete sich ein grauer Abend an.

Light - Whiterocks Beach

Aber es war unsere letzte Chance, einen Sonnenuntergang am Giant’s Causeway zu erleben. Nachdem wir am Vortag kein Glück hatten, versuchten wir es noch einmal und fuhren vorbei an Bushmills zum Visitor Center. Nach 21 Uhr parkt man hier kostenlos, da das Visitor Center genau dann schließt. Es lohnt sich also, den Causeway abends zu besuchen. Noch besser ist der frühe Morgen, da dann weniger los ist.

Reichlich vor Sonnenuntergang kamen wir unten an der Küste an und ich hatte genug Zeit, mich auf den hexagonalen Felsen nach möglichen Kompositionen umzusehen. Genug Zeit zu haben, ist mir wichtig beim Fotografieren. Es gibt nichts Schlimmeres als aufkommende Hektik. Das tut den Fotos selten gut.

Ich unterhielt mich auch mit anderen Fotografen vor Ort und wir überlegten, ob der Himmel nochmal aufbrechen würde. Wir erwarteten nicht viel.

Dann, kurz vor Sonnenuntergang, durchbrach die Sonne für wenige Minuten die Wolkendecke. Es tat sich noch nicht viel, aber so dicht schienen die Wolken doch nicht zu sein. Vielleicht würde es für etwas Farbe nach Sonnenuntergang reichen.

Bloody Causeway

Causeway Dream

Was zehn Minuten später geschah, seht Ihr auf diesen Fotos. Fast eine Stunde vom möglicherweise besten Licht, das ich je erleben durfte. Jetzt zahlte es sich aus, dass ich die Felsen vorher in Ruhe erkundet hatte. Zufrieden ging es um 23 Uhr zurück ins B&B.

Am nächsten Tag besuchten wir die Carrick-a-Rede-Hängebrücke und die Dark Hedges. Bei den Dark Hedges handelt es sich um eine wunderschöne Allee alter Buchen. Zeitweise fühlt man sich hier wie in einer Fantasywelt. Kein Wunder, dass dieser Ort so oft fotografiert wird. Wer mal in Nordirland ist und diesen Ort sehen möchte, für den habe ich auf Flickr die Koordinaten markiert.

The Dark Hedges

Wir fuhren weiter nach Donegal in Richtung Rosguill Peninsula. In der Nähe von Millford hatten wir unser zweites B&B gebucht, das Mala Rua. Hier muss ich eine große Empfehlung aussprechen. Vor allem das Frühstück ist etwas ganz Besonderes. Man startet mit einem Drei-Gänge-Menü in den Tag.

Doch vorher hatte ich noch zwei Motive auf meiner Liste. Abends machten wir uns auf die Suche nach dem Boyeegther Strand, von Einheimischen auch liebevoll Murder Hole genannt. Einsam und abgelegen genug war dieser Strand, doch wurde er an diesem Abend nicht zur Murder Hole. Es gab wieder reichlich magisches Licht und eine tolle Brandung zu fotografieren.

The Murderhole

Dann schnell zurück ins B&B. Es war schon sehr spät, da die Sonnenuntergänge im Juli sehr lange dauern. Vier Stunden Schlaf bekam ich, bevor ich zu meinem nächsten Motiv aufbrach: Dem Fanad Leuchtturm. Nach einer Stunde dann der Moment, auf den ich gehofft hatte, als die Sonne über den Wolken hervorkam. Filter allein reichten nicht, um dieses Foto zu machen. Mit der Sonne im Bild waren mehrere Belichtungen und reichlich Nachbearbeitung nötig.

Fanad Light

Auch wenn es sich so anhört, in unseren Urlauben wird nicht nur fotografiert. Ich habe zwar eine sehr tolerante Freundin, aber neben den Sonnenuntergängen und einem gelegentlichen Sonnenaufgang, für den ich dann ganz allein aufstehe, machen wir auch ganz normal Urlaub.

Also ließen wir es nach besagtem Frühstück erst einmal ruhiger angehen. Die Reise war sowohl aus fotografischer Sicht als auch vom reinen Erleben jetzt schon ein Erfolg. Das Wetter zeigte sich an diesem Tag von seiner besten Seite und wir fuhren zu einem der weiten Strände auf der Fanad Peninsula. Ich nutzte die Zeit am Strand, um etwas Schlaf nachzuholen und zu überlegen, wo ich an diesem Abend fotografieren könnte.

Ich hatte noch kein spezielles Motiv im Kopf. Sollte ich das Foto zum Sonnenuntergang etwa mal ausfallen lassen? Nein, dazu sah der Himmel einfach zu vielversprechend aus. Außerdem war nicht sicher, was die nächsten Tage bringen würden.

Eine Stunde vor Sonnenuntergang parkte ich unseren Mietwagen am Atlantic Drive. Von oben sah dieser Küstenabschnit interessant genug aus. Ich schnappte mir Stativ und Kamera und begab mich hinab ans Meer. Eine gute Entscheidung: Sonnenuntergangshattrick.

Atlantic Sunset

Wie gut diese Entscheidung war, zeigte sich die nächsten drei Tage: Regen zu Sonnenuntergang, Regen zu Sonnenaufgang. Und tagsüber? Da gab es das gelegentliche Loch in der Wolkendecke. Wir verbrachten diese Zeit mit kleinen Wanderungen wie hier im Poisoned Glen. Das Foto war kaum im Kasten und schon mussten wir den Spurt zurück zum Auto antreten. Genau: Regen – und dieses Mal waren leider keine Wasserfälle in der Nähe.

Poisoned Glen

Den folgenden Tag schauten wir uns die Gegend zwischen Dungloe und Falcarragh an. Die Küsten dort sind spektakulär. Besonders vom Bloody Foreland hätte ich gern ein paar Fotos mitgebracht. Zwei Mal fuhren wir nach Knockfola Lower, zwei Mal setzte starker Regen ein und die roten Felsen des Foreland blieben in Schatten gehüllt.

Auch am wunderschönen Strand bei Mullaghderg hatten wir Pech. Wir waren noch nicht lange dort und schon setzte der Regen ein. Erneut kein brauchbares Foto. Aber was sollte man nach den vorherigen Tagen erwarten? Ein vierter Sonnenuntergang dieser Art wäre zu viel des Guten gewesen.

Am letzten Tag fuhren wir zur Slieve League, den höchsten Klippen Europas. Über 600 Meter erheben sie sich steil aus dem Meer. Der Wind dort oben war jedoch zu stark, um bei Sonnenuntergang mit Stativ zu fotografieren. Wir fuhren dazu zum Muckross Head, einem zerklüfteten Küstenabschnitt mit interessanten Felsformationen. In der Ferne kann man die Slieve League erahnen.

Muckross Rain

Leider war unser Urlaub danach auch schon zu Ende. Die sieben Tage in Irland waren zu schnell vorüber. Es war wieder eine unvergessliche Zeit. Und der irische Regen – der gehört einfach dazu und so wirklich trüben kann er das Urlaubserlebnis für einen Fan der grünen Insel ohnehin nicht.
