Week 12: Street Photography in CWB

We went to Causeway Bay to take some street photography. We had a shotlist to tick off as usual-

Portraits - Candid: shots of people going on with their daily lives
Portraits - Ask a stranger: asking a stranger whether or not you can take a photograph of them and basically getting rejected a lot
Rule of thirds: taking photos where the main subject is falling in one of the divisions or on the line
Viewpoint: changing the angle you are getting your shot from- up, down etc.
Diagonals: gives a picture some perspective and makes it look more dynamicPattern: taking pictures of the patterns, textures, shapes and colour which can make a photograph visually compelling
Shadows & Reflections: using light creatively to capture unique patterns
Leading Lines: when subjects in a photograph are placed in a way so that it paves a line for the eye to follow through- typically leading to a subject
Framing: using the natural surroundings to frame your subject
Symmetry: a photograph that looks the same on one side as it does on the other
Photo Essay: capturing images for your photo essay


Here are some shots from this trip that I took and then edited in Lightroom:
