>>3937461>Im trying to improve my eye for composition on the street.Street photography is about moments and/or scenes and capturing them in a way that allows the viewer to become immersed in and/or interested in the world as presented in the image. There MUST be something in an image that is relatable or that causes a pause and moment of contemplation. Taking ill-timed photos of people on the street, or of scenes that lend no hand to bring the viewer in, doesn't cut it.
>>3937499This is the only image ITT that gets close to creating some sort of dialogue between the viewer and the scene. It's a fucking photo of someone's back...which is such a cliche but in this instance it's working because the context of the scene and the clothing the lady is wearing starts creating a bunch of 'why' and 'what' questions. The shot from the back actually works, because you get the gesture of her leaning against this fence, which is an interesting moment for someone wearing clothes like that. Again, it starts making me as a viewer interested in what's causing this scene to exist.
Street photography isn't about taking photos of people on the street or photos of streets/buildings. It's about capturing gestures, moments, juxtapositions...things that cause the viewer to leave their reality and jump into the one your suggesting as a photographer.
