Waking up on a cold morning staring at the slow whir of the ceiling fan with my arms crossed behind my head. Turn on the love theme from Yusef Lateef's Spartacus recording to fill my world with sounds that generate positive creative space in my mind. I brush my teeth in the shower, eat a quick bowl of cereal, and sling my camera over my shoulder. I walk through the front door and up the sidewalk where my intuition takes me. This would be an example of the start of a day full of curiosity and random impulses, seeing the world differently by looking at people and objects through a viewfinder. No preconceived ideas or programs, just the mystery and surprise that govern life. A typical day of street photography for me was shaped by the life and work of two photographers: Henri-Cartier Bresson and Daido Moriyama. Street photography is photography that presents the human condition within public places, but does not necessarily show the street or urban areas. situations. The focus is on the human touch on our world. It could be the dazzling smile of a casual passerby on the street or the focus of dazzling flashes of light hitting a metal staircase. The main purpose of street photography is to get out of your usual area of ​​life and sometimes enter into situations that can express a similar feeling that you received in that simple moment. Henri-Cartier Bresson coined a phrase in photography that will forever be a staple in art: the decisive moment. Henri-Cartier Bresson was an iconic French photographer considered the father of photojournalism. He gave birth to photojournalism when he covered the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth for a French weekly editorial Regards. In the... middle of the paper... you see certain things that anchor your thoughts and feelings to a scene at the perfect moment, and if you're ready, take a photo. It seems so simple but in reality it is the culmination of your thoughts, feelings, ideas, views and political thoughts. Your background and interests shine through your displays. These two photographers had a deft hand in capturing that “moment”. They were able to capture beauty by imprinting their vision of life on a piece of paper. Before exploring photography, light was just an object that was sometimes present and sometimes not. I have now learned, through these photographers and my own experiences this semester, that light (physical and metaphorical) is malleable. You can bend, shape and see light in so many ways - it all depends on your eyes. These two have just found their way to the light, and in doing so, they've made a mark across the world.
