August Theme: 'Street Photography'

August Theme: ‘Street Photography’

The next ‘Camera Club’ will be on Thursday 11th August, at 6.30

(NOTE: This is not the 1st Thursday as usual - though please come along on the 4th for the opening of our exhibition, Stephen Sutcliffe, Runaway, Success).

The brief this month is ‘Street Photography’. Street photography includes any photograph made in a public place and can therefore be very free and non-uniform in nature. It can be in an urban settings and many such pictures include people, but to paraphrase the In-public manifesto: Street photography is…”the ability to see the unusual in the everyday and to capture the moment. The pictures should remind us that, if we let it, over-familiarity can make us blind to what’s really going on in the world around us.”

As usual, create a single stand-alone image or a series of photographs, (in colour or black & white) to be presented in printed format.

Inspiration might include: Robert Frank, Walker Evans, Garry Winogrand, Joel Meyerowitz, Weegee, Lee Friedlander, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Nick Turpin, Bruce Gilden, Martin Parr, Stephen McLaren, Vivian Meyer, Diane Arbus, Philip Lorca-di-Corcia, more artists can be found on the in-public website
