街头摄影 (Street Photography)



在每一个城市最繁忙的街道上,茫茫人海中,每个人都有着自己的故事。

城市是许多人造梦的的地方,寻觅理想的过程中,难免有彷徨失落的时刻,也有孤立无援的时候。跌倒爬起跌到爬起的过程,都是些动人心弦的生活故事。

每一张街头掠影,每一张似熟悉实陌生的脸孔,虽然都是时间的过客,却道尽人生百态。

喧哗闹市的背后,有着破烂残旧的后巷;人们狂欢购物后,是否也有着失落的心。。。。



During the Hari Raya Holidays, I took a break from the routine to drive back to my hometown. On the way back, I stopped at a few places for food as well as to take some photographs.

Having played with macro photography for some time, I tried out my first debut on street photography with my Sigma 18-250 super-zoom lens and it turned out quite fun and interesting.

In a busy street of a city, people from all walks of life could be seen interacting with each other. There were also some lonely wanderers. I am sure everyone on the street has his/her own stories to tell. All these photographs combined can depict to certain extent the street culture of a particular city.

What I found interesting were the strangers on the street blended so well into the environment and the images. It gave me a feeling that their life and the street are closely integrated.

For locals, I guess some may be able to recognize the street.

  3. Interesting captures
    photographing ppl is fascinating. I love observing them and their interactions.
    The only thing keeps me from that is the feeling of shyness to pull out the camera in a busy street in Colombo :)
