Life Around Us
Needle in Chaos
street photography or taking images of life on the streets (as Winogrand doesn’t like the term Streetphotography) is a difficult genre in photography. The photographer eyes and mind should be aware of interesting moment in the sea of chaos on street. Composing of interesting elements. But does those picture tell something? It just show street life or life.
These are some of our attempts…

Again.., what a brilliant composition. The pictures tell us a story.
Just wondering, in a western culture do we need to ask a permit to a person (as a photo object) at street photography? Or it’s better take it with a tele lens?

Dear Johan,
thanks for leaving a comment and a question ;-)…..No, you don’t have to ask permission if you shoot somebody in PUBLIC places. If they ask, tell them the law (at least in Holland you have a law that states that). I had several discussion with people about that on the street. No problem. We mainly do not use tele lens in our photography. The only longest lens we use is a 90mm and this is used only for selective framing.

street photography, ia tidak hanya membicarakan elemen visual; garis, nada, komposisi, irama, kedalaman, warna, bahkan sebuah titik sekalipun; itu semua hanyalah sekedar untuk memyentuh daya tarik awal bagi pemirsanya.
tetapi street photography bagi saya –seperti yang anda tampilkan– terasa lebih bermakna karena diawali dengan sebuah niat untuk menyampaikan realita bagi para khalayak agar terjadi perubahan ke arah yang lebih baik, baik secara kognitif, afektif, maupun behavioral.
dan semua yang anda tampilkan di atas, adalah upaya untuk hal yang mulia itu.

Terima kasih atas ulasan yang sangat mendalam tentang street photography. Dalam foto-foto kami, kami mencoba untuk merekam kehidupan disekitar kami untuk menjadi pembanding dengan kehidupan dilingkungan lain yang berbeda. Kami berdua sangat senang memperoleh kesempatan untuk melakukan ini.

is only a matter of seconds if you miss, there will be no other opportunity,
The number ten is very touchy, report a problem
the number seventeen is very original, suggesting the tranquility of the city
the number twenty-four and a major blow, a moment of life in the life
also other interesting pictures, congratulations to all photographers

Dear Costa,
it is also about the photographer state of mind at that moment. The coordination of the eyes, mind and heart plays a great role of how the end result would be.
Thank you very much for visiting and leaving your impression here!
