STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

Luckily I live in New York, where ART is the heart and soul of this City,
where people are too hectic and preoccupied to even notice a camera
facing them. New Yorkers are hardly self conscious - they just go about
doing their business and don’t care what’s going on around them. NYC
the FASHION ICON, is where people dress up as they please, which
makes shooting the weirdest of the weird or best of the best, is in
abundance and always a pleasure to the artistic eyes.

STREET PORTRAITURE, as I call it, is where: you shoot people living
their everyday mundane lives. Where you capture the “locals” of a city
in their own abode and business. Where you see and feel the vibe of the
streets from a fresh perspective and be that person out of the box. Where
there are no restrictions unless you impose it upon yourself.

YOU are THE tool. The camera is only a thing, an instrument, an object
wrapped around your fingertips. Your eyes and your vision are what
create art. Get into peoples heart and soul and your photo will exude
what others have never seen. THAT, for me is the GIST and the TRUE
definition of STREET PHOTOGRAPHY! n
