General concept focus
The general concept that I want to focus on is the relationship and interactions between people and Chinese street food.
Statement of Intent
Title: “A Taste of Culture”
The title of this street photography project is “A Taste of Culture”, the concept and story I want to tell with my photographs is how food plays a vital role in people and their experience in diverse cultures. I want my audience to be able to feel the first, exciting, and shocking emotions and reactions of people that try new food. I will get inspiration and develop my ideas by looking for photographs that play with angles and close-up pictures of people reacting.
HUTONG FEARS – BLOG 2
What are your fears/thoughts about going to the hutongs to take photographs?
I do not have fears for going to the Hutongs and taking pictures because I genuinely do not care about what other people say to me. I would get scared if they start being physical, but I do not think that would be happening to me as it is not common. I am just going to smile at them and say thank you, walking away as fast as I can.
