Photographing Graffitti

[aplumpton]

Hirere, I would go in close, then closer, then even closer, after first getting an

idea of what the image possibilities are from the overall graffitti.

 

The graffitti may not be art, but you can possibly even create an abstract art

from its elements. So get close.

Point a camera at it and click the shutter, perhaps? I do not understand the question. Is there something specific you want to know?

There was a few things I wanted to know, but it's ok now. After reading through a few things I kinda incorporated it all into what I did and got a few good shots of graffiti, nothing great of course, but my teacher might like em.

Oh, and photograph grafitti that you actually like/love. When you just document whatever there is, you tend to try less hard (IMHO) than if you actually want to document something that tickles your optical nerve.

 

As for techniques, this thread has said it all (pretty much, I think).
