Kissing in the street

Street Photography


Below I have looked through all my street photography DSLR shots and have chosen a favorite. This image I believe to be my favorite as it shows the confidence in both the photographer and the people in the shot. As the people in the shot are kissing it shows that they are really comfortable with each other and being in public. It also shows the confidence in myself to quickly take the image and try to create a good shot. I also found this shot difficult to take as I had to have a lot of confidence in myself as I felt as if I was getting too personal therefore felt out of my territory. The following image I have imported both prior and post editing to show the different in editing.

Here I have edited the image in black and white and played around with the contrasts. I started with the simple black and white effect and then changed the contrast and brightness to create an image with lots of depth and emotion. It changes the effect of the image and the way people read it. It can completely change your view on the image from the start.
