This post is another collection of my people images
that I have encountered on my photo walks. My approach to street photography is
to capture my subject within their surroundings, and moving in for close
portraits. Of course through all of these images...there is a respect for all
of the faces of Exit 270 and it is my hope that this is evident.
Sometimes it is the subject themselves that
attracts my eye and at other times it is the activity or location I find
surrounding them. It is a spontaneous reaction to the life around me to capture
it quickly. Most of my subjects like being photographed and those that object I
comply. The key to street photography is to move quickly, not be obnoxious with
your camera, working from a respectful distance. Although, I have been known to
just about shove my camera in some subject’s faces and surprisingly without
objection, I still respect their privacy and usually ask permission to fill the
frame.
