Photographer

Henri Cartier-Bresson is a photographer who  pioneered the genre of  street photography , and conceived of photography as capturing a  decisive moment.I  learned a lot of knowledge about street photography which was created by him before I knew him. On the street, he can see the person who has rich narrative and quickly catch the their best and natural dynamics and expressions. He can also find creative angles to create contrast, setting off or satire. His photos always are good at framing.And his picture always tells stories.And make us think about them so we can be absorbed in to his works.

Singapore is a city that has many interesting buildings.It's easy for me to photo a okay picture.But the real hard is to take significant pictures.Nick Guttridge gives good examples for me. To show the white colour of the building, the cloud can be grey. Not only building has a special appearance.If there is a person and a groove to be contrasts will become more interesting. Also need to have perceiving ability with locality.This picture doesn't say to much but has the good matched colours，two kinds of textures and a suitable frame to put them into the picture. Nick's building photograph always have pure blue sky and make it become a contrast with the content-rich buildings.It's a little hard to find this kind of sky ...

I prefer to looking for somewhere few people in the city.And I enjoy the silent atmosphere of those places.Anna Delany can give me many inspirations for shooting those places. This picture shows her great framing ability.I still need to improve my sight to quickly make up a frame in my mind. I can't understand how to shoot like this picture.Really amazing. These pictures shoots the abandoned buildings inside.I used to explore these places in China before I started photographing.And I always had trouble with adjusting the colours.But now these photos tell me that black and white can well show the old feeling without the dirty colours.

I started trying my photography on streets and I found many questions as a beginner.To find the result I think I should learn from the street photographers.And I find something helpful from 9 Shots. I always want to catch people's natural faces while they walk on the street.But I was always too timid.If I want to closely catch their faces they will strangely stare at me. These pictures tell me that it's also interesting to shoot their staring faces ,if I become braver.I will. And it's also many other way's to catch people's faces in  unexpected places.(Mirror mixes inside and reflections of outside.High shooting speed Children are easier objects for me to practicing.They are confident and interested in facing the camera and give the emotion that you can't find from the adult.
