Street shooting is a common way of photography. It means that a photographer finds a suitable place and captures the daily life style of street people with a zoom lens or a fixed focus lens. He sometimes reflects the fashion style of street people and sometimes reflects the street view.

We see many photos of people in fashion magazines and other networks, many of which are in the form of street shooting. So are these moving photos the decoration of the model or the strangers that the photographer accidentally captured? Personally, I think there are both forms.

1. Unintentional capture In the street shooting works we saw, many photos were unintentionally captured, because many people were unnatural when facing the camera, which made their expressions and state unable to blend in with the background at that time. So photographers need to have a pair of perspectives that can discover beauty, find what they need through various portraits on the street, and then quickly capture relevant content, because these pictures are impossible to reproduce, once the relevant people find the photographer's expression.

The photo "The Boy Buying Wine" was taken by Bresson. Its subject matter is not important, but it is Bresson's well-known masterpiece. This photo was taken in an ancient alley on Muftir Avenue in the Latin quarter of Paris, where vendors and poor citizens live.

One Sunday morning, a boy bought wine for his father with great interest. He walked briskly with two big wine bottles in his arms, and his triumphant expression revealed the innocence and cuteness of the teenager. Even under the gaze of the neighbor girls, and even some people made fun of him, he still held his head high and was full of optimism about life. Bresson captured the innocence of the children at that time. ?

The author of Kiss of Victory is Alfred, a photographer of Life magazine. Photographed in Eisenhut, local time1945 August 14 (Beijing time August 15). As the Japanese declared unconditional surrender, people in new york took to the streets to celebrate the victory. In the celebration of Times Square, a sailor kissed a female nurse beside him. This moment was captured and became a classic historical picture handed down from generation to generation. ?

Second, the posing of street shooting models is also a kind of street shooting. This swing is divided into two forms. One is a wedding photo. In wedding photos, many young men and women will choose a unique street to shoot, which is a kind of street shooting. The photos taken from this street have obvious themes, careful color matching and no great features in composition. The expression of the characters is a little stiff, so naturally they will not relax. You will feel the same way if you watch too much.

One is a street shot of a fashion entertainment magazine. The characters in this street shooting are often handsome men, beautiful women or stars from all walks of life. When matched with fashion, the whole photo is extremely eye-catching Obviously, this photo won't have too many life features or breath. Because of training, the model has a sense of lens, knows how to cooperate with the photographer, and can basically change the required actions with the photographer's password.

On the whole, the photos taken on the street are natural, soft in light and beautiful in composition, with good narrative, exhibition and characteristics of the times. This is one of the daily lessons that every photographer who is engaged in figure shooting must do, because he can practice his composition, lighting, narrative preparation, color application and the discovery of unique perspectives when shooting in the street.
