The Faces of Exit 270 Part 13

I don't know if the images I capture of The Exit 270 people can really be classified as "street photography."  I tend to call it more like "street portraits.”  Most street photography usually includes people shots mixed with street scenes - hence "street photography" label.  A majority of "street photography" is taken from what some might call a safe distance.  However, I find that the faces of the people are what I focus in on.  They represent the mood of the place I find myself in.  So, therefore I tend to move in close -and my images become "street portraits."


I have no advice to give my fellow photographers - except, observe the area you are in, choose your subject, move in quickly - take the shot and move on.  You will find if you work quickly and then move on, your subjects will be less irritated by your short photographic invasion.
