Final set

For my final set, I have chosen three photos from the Hutong field trip. Through the subject of street photography, I found that it includes various objects and different themes. At the same time, I also found that the key is in people themselves, since street photography conveys the meaning of human society and social communication. Street photography also has some challenges that other types of photography do not have. For me, I have experienced a lot of awkward situations when I asked people for photos, and I also got rejected by some of them. However, the communication, even though it is awkward, makes street photography more realistic. I tried to focus on getting people’s emotions; therefore, I zoomed in or got closer into their faces in order to get a realistic facial expression. I made a decision to isolate himself by focusing on a single person and cutting off or blurring out the surroundings of other people. I also added saturation in order to make the audience more attracted to the main object, people. I edited the background to create a unique atmosphere, namely, a memory from the past. For the first photography, I zoomed in on the girl staring at the camera and used isolation to focus her and create a feeling of old memories. In the second photo, I asked his father to hide half of his face in order to make a different interpretation for the audience of why they hid the face. I also used isolation to create a focused atmosphere. For the last photo, there is a man with a slightly sad expression, and the expression of facial emotions is maximized by using isolation technology among the audience. He created a new atmosphere by bringing out one person among others. I have met the standards that I set by photographing emotion and creating an atmosphere focused on single person
