I found two street photographers online (Mindy Tan & David Shams) who have done street photography in Beijing’s Hutongs, and have used their photos (as well as the photos provided in DX) for my mind map.

How each of my concepts/techniques may be used during the Hutong trip:

  • Dutch Angles: Can be used to convey a sense of motion, disconnectedness, or unease.
  • Triangles / Threes: Can be used to provide a sense of stability in the image.
  • High angle: Can be used to provide a more assertive perspective.
  • Rule of thirds: Can be used similarly to triangles / threes but more for composition than for subjects.
  • Layers: Can be used to create cool shapes and depth within the image.
