The Urban Street
The urban street is a good place to shoot location wise e.g at night because you can see what kind of things happen at that time. The urban street is pretty much back alleys that look grimy and well urban if you would. Usually you can relate urban streets to a gangster attitude if you will and can affect how you feel about those environments.
Bruce Gilden was a photographer who has done work on the urban street and his work has turned out to affect many. these three images were shot in London on the streets and these images really affect me in a really weird but specific way. the man on the left appears to have what looks like a stab wound so it may look like he lives in a rough area and the woman on the right looks like she may have some kind of drug addiction and lives in a poor environment because of the form of the picture. The man at the bottom looks like a street fighter because he has some teeth missing and has his shirt off on the naked streets. These images affect me in a certain way that make me want to take images like these so i can get the sense of what bruce was feeling at the time.
Landscape
Natural landscape is one of my favorite styles of photograph because you can get some really amazing photographs of your surroundings. The ice of landscape photography is to capture and open place of the wilderness, the industrial, the nature or anything you can imagine but what something nobody else will do which i intend to do.
Thomas Struth has done some amazing landscape work and if you see what i mean these are unique pictures. this picture on the left is obviously taken at night time but with these kinds of images you can see the city lights at their finest and combined with the sky really makes an impact. the image at the bottom shows you inside a city harbor clearly taken from a boat but shows what lies behind the harbor. this kind of landscape gives you ideas of holiday locations for instance. the image on the left is my favorite image of the three as this shows what looks like an unmarked location and shows what appears to be a really relaxed and a chilled out zone. using unmarked locations in landscape photography gives you the best opportunity to do what nobody else has done.
Site Specific Work
site specific work is a good style to use as this shows how busy a location can be or how industrial or ancient looking the site can be. The location and frame is key in this kind as well as the amount of busyness in the photo.
Ben Roberts has done a project to do with occupied London and the outcome of the images really give you the idea of how London is during the day. The image on the left shows you what looks like a town centre at a busy time of the day. in this pogo the light suggests that the time of day is about noon so the lighting will be perfect at that time. The image on the left shows the industrial side of occupied london. As you can clearly see this is a construction site in front of all ready created buildings. The clouds in the image affect the natural light but the image still looks good in general. The image at the bottom shows a public park during the day at one of its average hours. this image shows both natural and industrial which is usually an odd mixture but in this image it works really well.
Robert frank is a very famous photographer who takes pride in his work. he s known for a particular picture which emphasizes cigarette awareness. the image shows what appears to be a young child (about 12 years old) holding a lit cigarette.
this brought about an uproar as they thought that this was not staged but this is by far his most famous photograph ever
