Photo AlbumA Trial of Street PhotographyMar 2, '07 10:03 PM
for everyone
We went somewhere in Caloocan City to buy buttered chicken, and my dad wanted to see how they do it. So, he asked the person in charge of the store if we can see how they do it. He escorted us to the kitchen entrance w/c is outside the store, and there I found some kids playing. Mabuti lang I was bringing my cam and tried to shoot them playing but after the first shot, one kid saw me and told me "kuya picturan mo nga kami!" so i did. Then after a while, all of them were posing na..They were very funny and very kind. Sarap mag street photog!

I also need some tips and your comments since I'm still a beginner in this =) enjoy!

Children on the streets (not always "streetchildren" hehe) are fun subjects. They have this spontaneity that is inert to them. I'm glad you had a taste of the experience. I do street shooting 2 ways: one is a friendly approach when I get to interact with them and even ask them to pose for me. The other one is detached and "invisible." I use a long lens for this and usually I get images that are more natural.

I had several experiences when children started flocking around me and start posing unnaturally (the "pogi pose" is universal believe me). I ended up with a bunch of photos not really worth keeping or exhibiting.

You have to strike the balance between the 2 approaches for a better street kids shooting. You have a good start.

that "pogi pose" is universal. I tell them, "if you pose that way, I'll not take your photo." Usually, they invent other poses. Use the hands to frame faces.
