Your photograph is a good example of when all the elements come together. Composition/lens/film stock/dev mode/black and white/weather. One of my most admired photographers is Don McCullin, his work follows a similar pattern. It is also a testament to the use of black and white, how it renders the scene without extraneous details.

It’s most interesting what you said about your feelings, as the two situations that I too feel this is shooting pictures, and as a musician and playing music. So pleased to hear you talk about this, as I’ve said to so many people, when things are working there’s a powerful bodily sensation and excitement. If it’s not going to excite or move you at the time, then it’s not going to move or touch anyone else. Like it a lot !

Do you sometimes crop your images, and if you do is this one full-frame? The reason I ask is that you mentioned the center of interest in the picture is the left half, bottom 80% or so. I did finger-cropping to see how it would have looked cropped tighter and it worked like that too, at least based on the small view I had. So if you do crop from time to time, what in the periphery made you decide to stay wider than that central area of interest? If you don't crop then the question is moot of course. Either way, it really is a nice image and you caught everything at just the right moment. (Cartier-Bresson approves.)
@DANIELMILNOR5053 жыл бұрын
Great question. This is somewhat total nonsense but I rarely, rarely, rarely ever cropped. I was taught not to crop and to print full rebate so that the viewer knew there was no cropping. This makes things harder, as you know, and I've set aside images I could have printed, but I still work this way 99% of the time.
@davidabarak3 жыл бұрын
@@DANIELMILNOR505 I tend to crop as needed, but keeping images full frame isn't necessarily nonsense. It's a constraint imposed on the process and constraints - for me at least - actually help with the creative process. Unlimited possibilities can lead to mental vapor lock. I think composing for a fixed frame size slows down the process - a good thing in documentary work.
