“The general Concept I’m aiming to capture is the concept of combing nature and people, which is called “Environmental Portraiture”. This is because I think for me, nature is really what I love to take photos of, and combining the concept of this unit with what I like is an interesting concept, for which I will try to take photos of. Another Concept I might also take some photos of is just “Candid” Street photography, inspired by Bruce Gilden’s photos. I think the concept of taking a photo without any composition and techniques is very fascinating, especially capturing the candid expressions of people on the streets, which I think fits to my definition of what street photography really is like. However, one challenge I might need to overcome is becoming more courageous in order to take photos of people on the streets publicly. One way I’m going to integrate the Hutongs and my concept of photography together would be to use the plants in the hutongs to use as a frame to take photos of the people, and also maybe using the photography concept of “Don’t Move”, of staying at a corner, and capture the movement of people there.
