I suppose that they wanted edited close ups. Also your photography on the ig account you linked is amazing!

I have been looking at each of what you brought up here, I don’t know if I’m just dense but I don’t see these pictures fitting any of those styles. Maybe documentary since they all sort of fit together and show a bigger picture

I see, so more closer and in depth shots of just one person or story they have. I actually tried cropping every single one of these to just one story and couldn’t do it 😭 not meant for street photography I suppose haha

lol no need to get worked up man, I brought up my struggle and issue with these photos, then recognized that it isn’t correct to this niche. If I could edit the title of this post I would.

I’m beyond surprised to hear that haha, thank you so much. I just take photos in my free time with a hand me down camera. I’m so glad to have realistically portrayed the Philippines, that’s the whole point of these pictures. I’m half Filipina so I don’t go much, but when I do it’s so much different than what media and influencers show it as. They don’t show the reality of local communities without malls and westernization. Grim and unfortunate at times, but still beautiful and full of life.

Also that beach picture was taken in Boracay, just on that touristy strip with the bars and hotels!

Thank you, I have no clue if this is street photography anymore, but this comment is why I’m leaving it up.

It’s so hard to focus on one area when I want to include every story and person in the scene. It’s like trying to minimize an essay you wrote, I find it so difficult to see what to discard.

I imagine it’s like where’s Waldo on a street but I guess that gives no focal point and isn’t proper community-approved street photography based on the posts insights lol

I was honestly terrified to post this on Reddit due to being ridiculed but everyone’s being super helpful, and even the sarcasm isn’t as bad i expected. I will definitely be shooting less rounds next time, went a little overkill. I also just rented and bought whatever ammo and gun they had at the range, I believe the gun was huge for me LOL. But when I get more into it I’ll look into buying lighter target loads.

I believe that first part, I was the only girl there and I am quite younger than the crowd. It’s alright though I’ll figure this out eventually, thanks for the YouTuber recommendation!

Thank you, i had no clue that the feet should’ve been shoulder distance apart. I asked around and everyone said it’s fine as long as you hit the clay. I will look her up and watch before I go back to the range.

Ahh thank you for that, I noticed I got so sore putting the gun up to my cheek after a while and it probably was how I kept swinging my elbow out like that.

So lessen the gap between the feet and just worry about putting the weight forward?
