Photographing People

I know that photgraphing people is where my heart lies in photography.
Though once faced with unknown crowds full of personality and faces it is very hard to chose and capture individuals and their emotions.
Photographing from a distance was a whole new challenge for me and as a first attempt these images are a few examples of the result.





I took many photographs of this pair as the links between them with their matching hats and taste in food really brought out their clearly close friendship.
The archway they are underneath also gives the photograph depth and scale.
The Litter bin and bicycles also nicely clutter yet balance out this image.

This shot was mostly down to luck and I like the comical expression being pulled in the bottom left hand corner.

This photo is one that you have to look at for a while to realise its potential.

With streams of people everywhere, capturing a number of people in one photo yet involving atmosphere and personality is a big, tricky challenge.

I love the idea of each person being on a different journey, with different aims and expectations and each ending up in a different place.

I also love the added touch of the smoker's cloud which gives this image an interesting touch.

This photograph was also in a way down to luck. This bridge is one of the busiest ares in camden and so capturing this one man, looking lonely and solomn was very unexpected.

I like how he is such a small detail in the image yet he gives the photograph a whole new story.
