Street Photography: Urban Summer II

My street photography of New York continues. Here, what's a man to do in a city full of concrete and not enough green space to relax? Own it. 

Budding Photography

Ok so you all know that I was doing a photography course and hated it so decided to walk out? At which point he blamed me and we got into an argument. Well, I complained to the school who agreed to transfer me to their summer course. It was the best thing I did. This teacher is amazing. There are so many things that he tells me are 'bad photography practice' or not to do because they're just 'stupid' and I get excited as those are the same things the other photography teacher taught me. 

Anyway, this is a black and white darkroom course. I have to develop my own film and photos. And here are my first two ever prints. What do you think? I'm going for the whole street photography thing as I think it works particularly well with black and white film. My target is to find moments in New York life. These are my takes and interpretations of the city. 

Best Shots: Street Photography

My second attempt at street photography. Titled 'Enduring Love'. Prefer it in black & white as per documentary style. 

Photo Challenge: Imprinting my shadow

This was a particularly difficult challenge for me. but one that I tried to do as often (and inconspicuously) as possible. My main issue is the vanity factor. Anyone taking pictures of themselves can appear to be full of it... Attempting to avoid this, these initial shots were all taken with the iPhone, quick snaps when I had a moment alone.

I'm not done with this challenge though, I think I'm going to give it another try and with 'real' camera's this time, no more hiding behind the iPhone.
