Inspiration #2- Julien Legrand


Street Photography inspiration

Another photographer I looked at is Legrand who like most street photographers uses irony. Some of his images caught my attention because its such a simple concept and haven't been altered.
The image of a bin with tape around it with the brand Chanel on it. This is ironic because the brand Chanel isn't typically seen in this manner. It contrast against the aim/idea of designer brands and how the fact that its round a bin adds irony.









I liked this image for the following reasons:

Structure that's natural
Realistic
Gives the audience information and lets them build a back story
Use of lines to draw the attention off the other poles
Everyday objects yet placed in different places





I like the work of Legrand and like the way he uses naturalistic elements and irony to create such vibrant images. I want to use inspiration from Legrand and try and spot features that wouldn't be typically seen together.
