Research post (one of the idea).

-

After coming up with 3 cool ideas I am supposed to add a research post for the ONE idea. So for this post, I decided to do research on one of the ideas which is; Street photography


source; street photography workshops


First I wanted to understand what is meant by the term Street photography. Street photography is a genre of photography that records everyday lifestyle in public areas. She explains that this type of photography does not essentially have a social purpose in mind however they prefer capturing moments and activities without the knowledge of strangers, (Blumberg N, no date).

Street photography is far more than shooting taking pictures of strangers in public areas. Interesting facts about street photography is that you do not need unique or distinctive access, therefore you can always use the accessible camera. What is required is a good eye, time, and a little patience, (Coomes P, 2010)

Also after doing research I learnt that street photography does not have to take place on the streets hence can be done anywhere else, (Gray E, 2020). According to Elizabeth, she claims that a good street image should have a subject that is clearly defined, the images should tell a story and have the correct composition. The majority of people say that street photography needs to have people in them but according to jer she opposes it and believes that this kind of photography does not really have to include people but they need to show or suggest that someone was there.

    Much better! But also still room to discuss your initial ideas further. You explain what street photography is (the genre) but not what your idea might be.

For our self study this week we were asked to research designers, filmmakers, photographers or writers who are using sketchbooks or journals in our subject area. Since my subject area is on photography I am going to do a research on photographers, look at their work and analyse their working process and also discuss what I have learnt from this research. Below are example of photographers i have been looking at their work; 1.Eric Kim Source;   Eric Kim image Eric Kim is a street photographer currently based in Los Angeles. He was born in 1988 in United State. In his article he explains that his interest in street photography happened by chance.The story is quite interesting and inspiring.He says that he was standing at the bus stop but does he does say where he was heading probably he was travelling then he spotted a man with horn-shaped glasses reading a book. He says that he felt a unique moment at that time which lead him to take out his camera. At the time he put the camera to ...

I started by researching  Andrew Prokos' white and black photography. His Ultra-high-definition black and white photos are known for their sharpness and clarity. In his photography work, Andrew Prokos focuses on design to capture the wonders of the urban atmosphere and its typically underappreciated intricacies. In his cityscapes, Prokos’s pictures lengthen the sense of marvel associated with degreed detail in an urban skyline. In his subject area pictures, that he's best famous, he captures the customarily unnoticed aspects of contemporary and style of architecture. Prokos uses each medium- and large-format camera, typically using long exposures to capture wealthy details and imbue a way of motion. His work feels modern. He follows an extended lineage of photographers who launched to capture urban landscapes and design, together with Berenice Abbott and Weston. Although his photography work focuses on urban settings, Prokos remembers the methodology of the good nature creative...
