AAA presents - Street photography

Journal Entry: Fri Jan 23, 2009, 1:55 PM

We are a panel of art supporters who in awareness of a GM inability to highlight all the fine art that is submitted here on dA.
Our goal is to bring attention to deserving yet un-noticed artist –whose work merits recognition.
We, in no way claim to be superior in judgment than any other participant in this community.
Our only qualifications are the love of art and the desire to support those whose work shouts for applause.

Some thoughts as to what is perceived as an un-noticed artist:
Art is not a question of popularity or pageview numbers.
But we would like to share arts / artist who have been unseen for some reason (new, non-understood art, too few uploads...).

Today our focus is on

Street photography

Street photography... a difficult art in photography, and surely the most ungrateful... needs a sharp glance, a great sense of light, lines, space and composition, a perfect technique, excellent reflexes and all that talents have to combine in a few seconds... without forgeting the photographer can't control all the elements, and the chance is a full part of street photography...

"Camera is for me a sketch notebook, the instrument of intuition and spontaneous, the master of the moment who, in visual term, wonder and decide on both. To signify the world, we have to feel implied in what we cut up through the lens. This attitude requires concentration, sensitivity, a sense of geometry. It's with an economy of means and above all self-effacement than we can get to the simplicity of expression."
Henri Cartier-Bresson

=JakezDaniel's choice:

~skullptures takes us oustide for a walk in the colourful streets of Jakarta and gives us a simple lesson of life.

Black and white creative squares. Life around is how you see it.
~BartoZ's vision is very personal and by his pictures we can see the world around, and specially the city world around, in a very new way.

=Tom-Ripley's choice:

always something strange in *gladzor's work... something disturbing, served by an excellent sense of lines and composition...

Japan, Italy, France, Germany, Ireland, Spain, Croatia, *Doroo demonstrates that we can travel and bring back something else than "tourist cliche", with creativiy...

Wonderful honest depictions of the world. It reminds me of a photographer who left dA about a year ago.

A documentary photographer who is a friend that I miss very much.
He has such a stirring and humanistic approach to photography! Check out his gallery
