Spring street photo sketches

in #photography5 years ago

I want to reflect a little on photographic terms. For example, the photo artist for me is a swear word. There is a photographer who, if you decipher and translate a word from Greek, writes, draws with light. And who is a photo artist? He draws on photos, that is, on photosensitive material? So this is already defined - a photographer! He already draws light. For me, a photo artist is someone who draws collages in Photoshop.

And what is a photo etude? Etude something like a sketch for further study of the subject of photography. The etude is located after the sketch, but does not bring down to the finished work of art. It turns out that a photographic sketch is something taken out of context, but not brought to mind. Again, as an expletive... I take pictures of the etudes on the phone and publish them on instagram.

Photosketch. We, photographers, draw with light, and this is what came up with the word: photo - a particle of light, a photon; -grafio - write, draw, graphics. Then it turns out that photo-sketching is the same as photography, only in other words, it is the moment of life sketched by light on the photosensitive element. This word is acceptable for use.
Photosketching, by the way, belongs to a separate genre of photography and is defined as the forerunner of photo essay. Photo session has no event send.

And now let's move from words to deeds. My photo sketches.

Recently I have been interested in street photography and rhythms in it.

Light spots also always attract me.

The form is much more difficult to find.

It will be easier to find the plot. But without rhythm, form and color, it works poorly.

I complained that there is no life on the street in Russian small cities. And it turns out to be, you just need to look.

But not only people belong to street photography. Interesting compositions, minimalistic scenes seen on the street are also well suited.

Reflections are, of course, more revelant to landscape. Well, let it be. Such a single frame fits perfectly with a series of street photos.

But if you add a person, then immediately appears on the scale of the photo. And this is a full-fledged reportage photo.

Even such an ordinary picture for us will be interesting to an African or a Hindu.

Photos about the broken street Nevodchikova.

Every country in the world is unique, and Russia as well. We must love to take pictures of the place where we live. Need to use it.
