The Art of Candid Street Portraiture | Crisol Street Photography
Have you ever tried Street photography?
It’s more difficult than you think!
This collection of black and white photos was taken at the Mercado De Motores, a weekend market in the Railway Museum in Delicias, Madrid.
During the day, a challenge had been set by the photography group Crisol Street Photography, I had joined during my stay in Madrid. The founder, Levi Shand, had asked all the members in attendance to think about ’emotion’ whilst taking a shot, so basically shoot street photography whereby the person shows their emotion.
Boy, I was not looking forward to this.
Why?
I just did not like invading people’s spaces when taking photos, it makes me feel really uncomfortable, but then, it’s not a bad thing to get out of your own comfort zone every now and then.
The only way I could approach this challenge was to take photos of people looking away, or people in mirrors or of children playing.
However, there’s one image, and if looks could kill…as they say…this was that occasion.
The young lady in the said shot did not look amused. After the candid photo of her, I approached her and told her that I thought she looked really stylish, (the lady in white) hence the reason for my shot to which she then wore the most beautiful big smile and posed for me…but then that’s not candid….?
What a Twist!
Anyway, here are the results…

Today’s assignment: write the post in the form of a letter.
I decided to write the letter as TravelMemos to the city of Sydney via Instagram as I liked the response from my first posting on the City Of Sydney’s Instagram page:

There is no more perfect symbol of Seville’s layered history than the Giralda Tower (or El Giraldillo) the bell tower of the city’s cathedral.
