The title of my project is The People of the Streets. I want to capture real unchanged moments of people living their everyday lives and explore how they interact, and express emotion in public spaces. In my photos, I want to tell small visual stories that highlight emotion, and the beauty of ordinary life. I want my audience to feel reflective, noticing the subtle details and emotions that make everyday moments different. I’ll develop my ideas by studying photographs that use light and shadow to create mood, reflections and framing to add depth, and candid techniques to capture people naturally. I’ve been inspired by photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, and my favorite photographer Brassai, whose photographs capture human emotion and turn casual real-life moments into something special, and rather timeless.
