A portrait is a picture or description of a person that shows who they are or what they’re like,

focusing on the face and expression, and often including clues from clothing, pose, and setting.

A portrait shows what they represent, often through facial features, posture, clothing, and the setting or symbols around them.

1. Street Dog: A photo focused on the  dog alone, and the orange clothes of a funny  dog on a busy street, highlighting the contrast between the animal and the urban environment.

2. michael on the street: he as a normal student as the main subject surrounded by a busy crowd, telling a story of an individual within the masses of the world.

4. Shots in School: These capture Intimate Moments and Reflections, focusing on quiet and calmness of the school and the people’s action and is unposed interactions between students or their thoughtful expressions.

the concept i wanted to focus on in street photography is the interplay of light and shadow.

I look for places where bright sun and deep shadows fall. I use a patch of light to highlight a single person, making them the main point of the photo. Sometimes, I use large areas of shadow to hide details, which creates a sense of mystery. For me, it’s a way to make pictures that feel more about mood and shape, telling a story with contrast instead of just capturing a scene.

i like this picture taken by paul buscatow, it shows the smoke and the background of building give the viewer a clear understanding of where it is and the us flag too letting us know that this is in the US.

this photo is taken by the same author and shows a worker and a dog, we can also see the background of people walking nearby as we know its probbly on the streets

.

this photo is also by the same author we can see the colors are the same on both people’s package showing simularity of maybe perhaps random people.

street photography:

it is a type of  photography that captures unposed scenes of everyday life in public places.

It focuses on documenting everyday life, human interaction, and  movements of the streets. The photographer acts as an observer,

seeing the everyday life features that are not acted.

lines

Line are paths that guide the viewer’s eye through an image, the horizontal lines suggest  stability, vertical lines convey power and strictness, and diagonal lines create dynamic energy, movement, and tension.

shape

A shape is defined as a two-dimensional, enclosed area.  we recognize them by their silhouette. In photography, light is often used to reveal or define shapes, particularly in silhouettes.

pattern

Pattern is the  things that come alike in a regular and predictable way, Photographers often use patterns to create a sense of place or to highlight the order found in nature and human-made environments.

texture

Texture is the visual quality of a surface. It appeals to our sense of touch and helps create a feeling of two-dimensional realism.

tone

Tone refers to the spectrum of shades between pure black and pure white in a photograph. It is the foundation of form and depth. A wide tonal range with rich blacks, bright whites, and many mid-tones creates a sense of volume and three-dimensionality.

focus

Focus is the sharpness or clarity of a part of an image. It is a powerful tool for directing the viewer’s attention.
