Brad_ Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 >>> I follow what Brad suggests, presenting a shot of two persons I talked to in view of making their portrait, but how does it make an "engaged street portrait" ?? Can someone explain, please.? I think you've got it, Anders. To me it simply means: 1) You see a person on the street that you find interesting, 2) You walk up to and *engage* the subject, ie, in conversation, and 3) In the course of the conversation you ask if a portrait can be made. Many times that's followed by moving the subject to a different spot nearby, where the light and background might be better. There are other variations as well. www.citysnaps.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJHingel Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 <p>Thanks Brad for the explanation. I understood this minimalistic conditions for "engaged" portraits ("engaged in a conversation") , but thought that more could be demanded. Maybe I just mix it up with other languages - French for example !<br> I love Barry's group picture. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
