Photographer’s Note

I really like this one. It was in an area with full of hip hop boutique. One MC in front of the door trying to keep people in it. The guy was rapping for everybody on the street!

Bonjour Benoit,
La composition me plaît particulièrement. Trois scènes de rue se passent simultanément de gauche à droite au premier plan, dans un intervalle presque régulier et symétrique. C'est une photo extrêmement vivante. Superbe coup. Amicalement.

This is very nice street photography, Benoit, you caught the moment of contact, which is what tells a story. I like the fact you included some context by making a panorama, even though it reduces the focus on the main subjects (there's a price for everything...) Fortunate for you that the main subjects wore red!

Another people-photo - see, you already do it!

This is what I would casll street photogrpahy rather than street portraituer - the difference is that this is quite candid, taken without the subjects being conscious/self-conscious. Street portraits are quite different, the photo is taken with the subject's permission, may even be posed to an extent. Two different approaches, giving different results. Anyway, this is a good photo. (Not sure that your camera is the best for this type of photogrpahy - you need something that you just point and click, very quick, and set on something like 50mm, f8, 1/125, so that it's erady to take the pic without any fiddling or setting up).
