Me and my camera in my home town, my capital city, my london
I have spent the week posting up a series of photographs capturing those capturing others in the W.11 area. I blame Richard Curtis and always will. Not that I really have massive issue with them. In fact I am strangely drawn to these pockets of artificiality amidst the real world. Street fashion shoots are a very different beast to street photography in the sense that your subject is both aware and willing which are the two things which are almost never true in my experience. Even though they are both technically the same artform they could not be more different for this reason.
I was going to say I can but imagine what it would be like to be able to have more than 2 seconds to get your shot but in a twisted moment of irony I am actually going to be doing a photo shoot on Portobello Road this afternoon. I only found out yesterday and is an utter coincidence. Maybe I’ll get snapped by someone mid shot and appear on someone else’s photo blog…now there’s a scary thought.
