Street Photography: Ein Leitfaden für Anfänger zum Einfangen von Szenen auf der Straße

Hello, Nazym! Thank you so much for sharing these photos with us! I really appreciate it. Here are my thoughts about what was done well and some ideas to make your next photos stronger! I hope you find them to be helpful. #1: I like what you did with the shapes and angles here. I like the light play with brighter and darker areas. Good choice of subject. I love the red coat. I think this one could have been stronger if the subject was more visually prominent. As it is, the railing covers the majority of the subject making it less of a visual highlight for the image. If perhaps the person was serendipitously leaning over the rail looking in our direction. That may have helped. But once again, a lot of things were done well here. #2 A nice scene with some great subjects here! A couple of things that would make this one stronger for me: I'm not sure if you knew this kids, but if possible, I would have gotten closer to show facial expressions and body language to help better tell the story of them interacting with the food case. Another option could have been to move behind them to show either what they are looking at in the case, or to bring in somebody from behind the counter as another subject. Considering the dim lighting here, I would also consider a B&amp;W edit! Could be fun. These are just a few things that could make the photo of a sweet little moment like this more engaging. #3 Lovely portrait. They seem very sweet. :) #4 Great action shot! It looks like you used a flash here! Great idea! It really adds some drama. While I would play with capturing the person and the ball in different positions, trying to separate the person, the ball, and perhaps the hoop visually, this is a pretty decent positioning with the person in a fully extended position, and the ball in an exciting spot! I also think that a closer, more dramatically upward angle could have added some energy to things. I love the colors here, from the vibrant red jacket, to the color of the hoop and backboard. This is a very interesting environment as well! This one is my favorite of the set! #5 Very nice moment here! I love the positioning of his hand with the big block coming into place. This entire scene is so interesting to me! Once again, I would have loved to see facial expressions here. Another option would be more of a side angle, or a tighter shot from behind with him centered and more of an emphasis on the hand with the block using the lighting we see here. Hopefully that all makes sense haha. This is definitely a scene with a lot of potential! #6 Nice scene here! I love the mountains. This reminds me of my time living in Utah. So thank you for that! Great elevated angle! Very nice layering with the road, the neighborhood, and the mountains. Pleasant light! A couple things I would note on this one: For one, the edges of the photo. There are some cars poking in on the bottom left and what looks like a green bus poking in on the bottom right. I find these to be a bit distracting and cluttering for the photo. Another thing is that I would love to see a more defined subject (or subjects). Perhaps you could wait for an interesting car/bus/giraffe to come into frame with a bit of separation from others. And trust me, I know how hard that can be with a busy road haha. If you're feeling froggy, another option could be to add some intrigue by dragging the shutter to cause motion blur in the cars. I find that to be fun. Overall, I would like to see a bit more focus in this image. Another fun approach, if you had access to a longer lens, would be to use a tighter focal length to push into that road straight ahead and capture a subject in that closest splash of light with the fall trees above, and the beautiful mountains in the background, with that tall peak in the center. Oh baby! #7 Beautiful environment! Interesting subject! I love the action of the snow blower. The subject is nicely centered. A couple things I would have tried here: With the subject, while this is not a bad angle, I would have also considered either going in front of him, or beside him for more of a side profile. In addition, I would have tried to capture the legs in full extension, mid stride. I would have also considered playing with the framing or even backing up to show more of this lovely environment. For example, that shack and power pole on the left could have been a welcomed addition! This way our friend becomes part of the greater scene. Okay! Thank you again for sharing these! It was great to get a glimpse into your world. If you have any questions or if anything was confusing, feel free to ask away! Peace and blessings!
