I was making a quick stop to get coffee when I noticed this mannequin leg in the car. It's not something I see very often, especially in the residential area where I live, so I wanted to get the shot. Since I have a camera with me all the time, I was able to take the picture. 53 © Rinzi Ruiz 2014 Los Angeles, CA 2014 I saw this man walking toward me from a distance. What caught my attention was the amount of smoke he was producing. I got low as he got closer, and took a few shots of him as he exhaled smoke.
If you haven’t already, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the other photographers on the list. Some may intimidate you; others may annoy, confuse, or inspire you—but the lasting impression of their work will be strong. In my opinion, that’s as good a description of a master and teacher as any. While there is no universally agreed-upon list of master street photographers, the works of the following artists is considered exemplary in this genre. Eugene Atget (1857–1927) Andre Kertesz (1894–1985) Walker Evans (1903–1975) Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908–2004) Robert Doisneau (1912–1994) Helen Levitt (1913–2009) Dianne Arbus (1923–1971) Saul Leiter (1923–2013) Robert Frank (1924– Elliott Erwitt (1928– Lee Friedlander (1934– Garry Winogrand (1928–1984) Joel Meyerowitz (1938– Martin Parr (1952– Alex Webb (1952– 46 Henri Cartier-Bresson © Henri Cartier-Bresson/Magnum Photos Valencia Province, Alicante 1933 © Elliot Erwitt/Magnum Photos New York City, NY 2000 47 Elliot Erwitt 48 Garry Winogrand © The Estate of Garry Winogrand, courtesy Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco New York City, NY 1970 49 Contemporary Street Photographers As much as I love the photographs I’ve selected to illustrate my own work in the genre of street photography, my images ultimately represent only my approach to the art.
Some feature bold, saturated colors while others feature soft, muted colors. Black-and-white films don’t render color at all. You can pick the look you like and know that you’ll get it roll after roll, without having to use computers or software. Color transparency films are similar to digital sensors in the way they react to overexposure: once the highlights are overexposed, you can’t recover them. Negative films are more forgiving than digital media or color transparencies: you can expose two stops over the recommended ISO and not only will you retain the highlights, you’ll generally get finer grain and more shadow detail.
