Where I Am

These images are based on an assignment given to my Wednesday evening digital photography class. The notion of Where I Am is really about an idea that it is always better to take photographs of what you see there and then rather than only take photographs of specific things. These are my attempt to mirror my students experience. All the images are taken on my mobile phone, the only camera I have with me all the time.

More from Street Photography

Some quirky and interesting photography from Larent Roch. http://www.street-photographers.com/portfolios/laurent-roch/riviera-26414.html

Selfies

I'm not sure I like the imagery but I really like this really quick selfie approach to mobile phones. I'm sure there is a project in this somewhere!

Banal but Beautiful

I thought you might like this link interesting, it comes from an online magazine called Street Photographers. It shows you that being persistent in the way you look at things really pays off when you are a photographer. It also shows you that it's not always about big events or significant happenings, sometimes it's about seeing the image and taking it. http://www.street-photographers.com/

David Hilliard

I came across this work by David Hilliard through LENS The New York Times photography website https://www.facebook.com/nytimesphoto . I've seen David Hilliard's work before and thought of it as being a bit gimmicky. I can honestly say that this is a big mistake. Not only are they beautifully taken images they are beautifully constructed, knockout synergy.

Helmut Newton

Just seen some great images by Helmut Newton in Berlin. A fantastic gallery; the work is not always easy to look at but great quality and I think a sense of humour is evident throughout.

Lorenzo Vitturi Body Parts

I found these two images by Lorenzo Vitturi, which I thought were perfect for the Body Parts Project at work. They are very fresh and appealing images which seem to fall just on the right side of kitsch, they are full of really good colour and just good fun. I especially like the images with the partly painted bodies. You can find his work at http://www.lorenzovitturi.com/images-from-the-crepaccio/ or http://www.123inspiration.com/photography-by-lorenzo-vitturi/ . Perhaps you should look at the Dalston Anatomy project which is equally as good fun.
