Smartphone Street Photography - When Things get Graphic

Hello fellow Steemians!

So, street photography is, as I've discussed on an earlier post, probably the most challenging sort of photographic work you can engage on. This one is a great example of an adrenaline-inducing situation because it lived off of identifying a photograph that I couldn't take immediately.

I was walking around not feeling very inspired and stopped at a specific spot. I looked down and notice an incredible pattern. Then I looked to my right and I saw a person opening a door and looking around.
I moved as fast as I could, pulling the phone out of my pocket at the same time - a race against time to position myself before the opportunity escaped.
This sort of scene needs the symmetry to be on point for it to work, so I took my time to center the frame and took the shot.
A great sense of relief filled me instantly when I realized I managed to shoot it properly before the person walked away!

Still, I kept shooting just to make sure I got it, until the person turned around and went back inside.

Black and White was, of course, obligatory.

Thanks a lot for your time!

Olá Steemianos!

Fotografia de rua é, como mencionei num post anterior, provavelmente o estilo de trabalho fotográfico mais desafiante. Esta é um bom exemplo de uma situação que induz um grau considerável de adrenalina, porque consiste em identificar uma fotografia que não pode ser registada no momento em que é observada.

Estava a passear, sem sentir grande inspiração e parei num determinado local. Olhei para baixo e apercebi-me do padrão incrível; olhei par aa minha direita e vi uma pessoa a abrir uma porta e a espreitar.
Desloquei-me tão rápido quanto pude, enquanto tirava o telemóvel do bolso - corrida contra o tempo para me posicionar antes que a oportunidade desaparecesse.
Este tipo de cena requer que a imagem seja simétrica para funcionar, portanto tive que ter muito cuidado e centrar o enquadramento antes de tirar a fotografia.
A sensação e alívio por ter conseguido o registo antes da pessoa mudar de posição foi enorme!

Ainda assim, continuei a fotografar para me certificar que não falhava, até que a pessoa voltou para dentro.

A conversão para preto e branco era obrigatória.

Muito obrigado pelo vosso tempo!

Very nice shot indeed. I can definitely identify with the adrenaline "kick" the street induces in certain situations. For me one of the stronger attractions of shooting the street. But then again, I do tend to move really close in on my subjects a lot of the time...

Absolutely agree with it being one of the major attractions of street photography. I want to force myself to start getting closer to my subjects, just as you mentioned; opens up a whole new world as far as potential interactions go. Thank you very much for taking the time to comment!

a race against time to position myself before the opportunity escaped
oh I know this feeling and the elated dopamine buzz when you get the shot 🤩
Well done 👍🏼

Great photo!! Love the perspective, the symmetry, the shape and of course the obligatory Black and White!

Thank you very much!
