Me and my camera in my home town, my capital city, my london
And so ends this week’s series of posed shots in contrast to my usual smash and grab approach. (I have so few they all made it into one week…and a short week at that!)
Street photography is so utterly different from staged photography, they are in fact polar opposites. The former attempts to capture a moment of reality whereas the latter is to create a moment beyond reality. I personally prefer to show a person as they actually are rather than how they wish to present themselves although it is nice to take photographs of people with their consent. It feels a little more honest although the results are ironically less so.
