Street Photography Techniques
How to use ''painting with light'' into a street photography project?
ive just started 2nd year photography at college.
Last year i had a different teacher who said we had to start a new project in the last half term and over the summer and i chose street photography. I got alot done but this year ive been moved into another class with a teacher who sees me as an inconvenience because i wasnt in that class last year!
He wont let us get on with our projcts until we have done 6 weeks of his ''mini-projects'' into different types of photography~
painting with light / light grafitti
portraiture
lighting outside and in the studio
and some others he hasnt said yet.
so i have to incorporate these different techniques into my street photography project.
How can i do this? any ideas
ive been photographing places and i want to do contrasts in places between day and night, experimenting with contrasts and lighting.
thanks in advance for any help!
Night time shots shots using long exposures and using a torch to create the "painting with light" effect.
Environmental portraits using off camera flash either at night or in day light, camera should be on a tripod for night shots. For studio you will be concentrating mainly on lighting, to convey mood or character. For example spot lighting on eyes for dramatic effect or soft beauty lighting "advertising" image.
Outside experiment with a small mirror to reflect light on your subject (spot light effect). Look for ways to make your photographs unique.
