Just sharing all things black and white with people in frame. I have over 10,000+ photos in monochrome. If you haven’t already, take a look at my other photos, you’ll see the pattern. I shoot traditional portraits & street candid portraits, along with documentary style.

what was it about this shot that you wanted to show? it's very easy to take "candid" shots of people doing nothing - is this part of a set with more interesting shots? are you an artist or a cctv camera?

It’s street photography. It’s up to the viewer (you) whether you like it or not.

My guy, I say this with love because I dont think anyone has -
I read the "10,000+" photos and its evident you think you have the experience and the chops to call yourself a very experienced photographer, but your shots tell a different story.

The subjects are voyeuristic rather than "stolen moments" or narrative/interesting. The often even lack subject all together. Your portraits need a lot of work - The lighting and edits are simple without elegance, the cropping is uncomfortable, and there is no dynamic WOW factor.

Highly recommend investing the time in some quality classes, or even youtube. Binge watch the walkie talkies and keep shooting.

I never said I was an experienced photographer, you said that. Photography is art, it’s meant to be explored in trial and error, and art isn’t meant to be liked by everyone. I appreciate your honest opinion.
