In this video, street photographer Takahiro shares his approach for capturing impactful monochrome photos in urban environments. Rather than starting with finding good light sources, he advocates first scouting for areas drenched in shadows created by buildings, overpasses, and other structures.

I don’ shoot street photography but I find your video of shadow and light very good. I often look for the shadow first and then the light. Your photography is very good and you explain it perfectly.

まあこれはこれでパターン化してしまうと新鮮味が薄れるのですが、最初の取っ掛かりとしては良いアプローチ方法だと思います。

「影を探せ」映画のタイトルになりそうな含蓄のある言葉ですね。マグナムの創設者アンリ、カルチェ、ブレッソンはかの有名な「決定的瞬間」の解説で、その瞬間とは光と影と構図とそして感情が一致した瞬間と言っています。又動いている状態の被写体には映像的にバランスが訪れる瞬間がある。写真家はそれを見逃してはならないとも言っています。氏はこのことを実践されているのですね。

偉大な写真家と比べられるような者ではありませんが、バランスが訪れる瞬間というのはよく理解できます。

いつも勉強させていただいてます。今回もわかりやすかったですし、なるほど、そうなんだって思いました。私の先週は、影と光とシルエット探して、闇雲に歩き、1万3500歩も歩いてしまってヘトヘトでしたが、先に目星をつけるっていうことも、全く発想になかったですし、影を探すより、どこかに良い光が射し込んでないかなばかりで街を彷徨ってました。本当に、素晴らしい動画をありがとうございます。

そうなんです、差し込む光なんてそう都合よく見つからないですから、ある程度目星をつけていく必要があります。先に影を探す、ぜひ試してみてください。

Thank you again for this really very educational video!. A wonderful motif that is very close to my aesthetic sensibilities - the blackness of the shadows and, in contrast, the arrow of light that points to the main character. Unfortunately, I can only find shades of gray outside in the city here in my region at the moment, as it is almost constantly raining or the sky is very cloudy. It seems as if there are no completely dark shadows at the moment, as even the shadows have to bow to the gray uniformity imposed on them by the weather. I could despair if I were not convinced that the summer light must come in the next few days or weeks so that these really deep black shadows can appear in the pictures again.

Thank you for your comment. The afternoons in Japan during the summer can be so hot that it becomes difficult to go out for photography. Here, I have another two weeks of good shooting weather.
