Senad speaks #4

Another photo that belongs to a series - please look at all 4 of them

in the "Les miserables" folder - a project I started recently on

the "street life".

 

Any comments welcome!

Hi David,

 

Once again you chose my favorite from the series, since on this one his expression and body pose is more characteristic than the others, and with the sole exception of Senad Speaks #1, his face is better lit here. On all three, the contrast in light between both sides of the building creates an interesting effect. However, as a series I find the other ones redundant, unlike in your "Communication Crisis" where there was enough difference between them to make them look like a series and not different moments of a pose.

 

There are some distracting issues, such as the figure on his socks and white garbage on the street, but these I suppose are unavoidable with subjects in the real world. There's also a softness of the image, but judging from your past comments this must be a scanning issue.

 

I suppose that what really catches me from this photo is his body expression, which seems to say "well, whatever God wills".

 

PS: Is he missing a finger?

To me, it is more of a portrait or photojournalistic work than a street photo. The expression is great and the lighting well used.

i actually think that the garbage adds to the atmosphere it`s his natural surroundigs.

 

Hey, Mauricio - what is the difference between a photojournalistic photo and a street one?

Good capture.. love the expression and wide angle perspective emphasizing the bottle in foreground.

I like this one best of the four. The tilt of his head and the position of his right hand (our left) add some drama, draw you to his face.

Very good
