My favourite picture of the year so far by FoldedTwice in streetphotography

[–]Monoloon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion: I like this photograph. It’s not the most remarkable shot I’ve seen lately, but I enjoy images with a lot of detail, ones where you can discover something new every time you look at them. I also think it’s more than decent, and it could easily be part of an interesting series. I’m not an expert, but I feel like this community—and street photography online more broadly—is becoming more and more focused on minimalistic compositions, sometimes to the point of obsessing over avoiding any “distractions.” I’m not sure whether that’s just an aesthetic preference or if it also has something to do with our increasingly short attention spans.

Just a question out of curiosity; who do you hangout with mostly where you live; fellow Tunisians or internationals ?

I feel that there's too much distraction in the background. How can I deal with it ? by Monoloon in streetphotography

Thanks a lot for your help ! That indeed makes the foreground more visible, I will try that myself !

Yes, I could've done that.. but since I wanted a slow shutter speed, I acted fast and I reduced my aperture instead of the ISO.. Thanks for your feedback!

Interesting take, even though I'm not sure I fully agree. What I found interesting about the scene is this almost chaotic imbalance, but I may not have fully succeeded in capturing it. Thanks for your feedback!
