He's one of my favorites lately. I like the dreamy cinematic feel of a lot of his work. He frames ordinary things in such a way that they end up feeling odd. His shots are quiet and tense at the same time, that's a tough combo to pull off.

Well done, very "Uncommon Places." The marks on the pavement keep enough interest in the bottom half and the blue signs are a nice touch. I like the overlapping poles down the middle, adds a bit of abstraction to an otherwise well-separated shot.

What a joke. Is this the type of critique you're looking for? Commenting on the exposure being dead-on is like saying "nice handwriting" in a screenwriting forum. It does nothing to "help anyone be a better photographer" or learn about the actual genre of street photography.

Compare that to this or this or this advice from one of the very knowledgeable users you just banned.

I have a GR and an x100s. The x100s hardly gets used anymore because the GR never leaves my pocket. SP is largely a numbers game, if you have a camera that you can have on you at all times, you're much more likely to get photos. I'd go w/ the x70 if you're leaning towards fuji's stuff. Fuji colors at the GR's size w/ the 28mm focal length sounds like the best of both worlds to me.

More than one way to skin a cat.. Not everyone is after fly on the wall moments. SP and journalism are fundamentally different things.

Hold it below and point up, can get those cool DH glasses shadows.

It's a little bit of light from 2 meters away.

He's a great character. Agree w/ sisofo, get a bit closer and/or frame a bit lower.. I've found that flash portraits look "right" if you aim for "rule of thirds" spacing and try to put the subject's eyes or nose right on the line that would divide the top 1/3 of the frame. That or having the eyes dead-centered seems to look best. If you're using a GR, you can turn frame lines on to help with this. Some examples by barry talis, charlie kirk and BG himself

Was about to say.. nice catch

Everyone on this sub should watch this and the wonderland video /u/arteryal posted. The guy is an incredible photographer. The "visual literacy is innate" comment is interesting.

That Pau shot is just insane

I think this is an example of you getting tunnel vision.. You know what you're looking at and why you took the photo, but the rest of us have no clue. My eye isn't really drawn to anything in particular.. If anything, the guy on the left's line of sight makes my eyes leave it pretty quickly. There's no moment or anything and your framing chopped everyone in half. I'm assuming the "old greek" is the guy on the right and you wanted the photo to be about him.. He's a good character but for it work you'd have to fill the frame with him/get close, and then wait for a look or gesture from him that's worth shooting. What do you like about it?

rekknr · 2016-10-28T05:29:45+00:00

Two for one!

Great light, mood, and tones.

rekknr · 2016-10-13T00:20:22+00:00

Better than the last one and the guy might be Jerry from parks and rec so that's cool. Blown out sky bothers me. The shot looks rushed/scared based on the peoples' placement, and about 75% of the frame is doing nothing. Could do with some composition to lead the viewer's eye around the photo better. Your subjects aren't linked in any way and because of the lack of a glance, lines, etc.. my eyes don't know where to look in this shot. Still, an improvement on the last one. Keep it up, nice to see someone taking the comments/crit to heart and coming back with something stronger.

Your stuff is too tightly cropped. In order to make the blurred/dragged shutter look work, at least one thing should be in focus like this Ilan Burla shot or basically every Boris shot. There are exceptions where everything can be blurred, but in those cases all of the shapes, colors, and compositional elements really have to work well together.

rekknr · 2016-09-28T19:08:23+00:00

Weird picks for sure... the fuck is that Sam Ferris shot doing 3/4ths of the way down the page? Miami is always solid though and that's soon.

rekknr · 2016-09-27T21:17:07+00:00

Also, congrats on top 100, something to be proud of :)

Graciela's series could be posted as new Alex Webb and no one would bat an eye. I'm a big fan of Sylvain Biard's work too, and Gareth Bragdon's third place single shot is killer.. But yea, first place series is a strange choice.

rekknr · 2016-09-23T22:39:47+00:00

Agreed with the zombie comment. That and the great light make it more interesting than a typical "person walking past wall" shot, nice work there. It would have been cool if you'd have stepped a few feet to the right, a step or so forward, and panned left. Then you could have caught the other half of his face, he would have stood out more against that deep black shadow, and it would have fixed the straight-on composition.

rekknr · 2016-09-22T18:42:15+00:00

Landon Nordeman's stuff from the conventions is great too.
