People-watching, it’s a common practice that we as a society all do all the time no matter the setting. We are looking out for interesting people that catch our attention. Well, that’s what I view my work as. I go people-watching with my camera. People are my subjects; because of their actions, expressions, appearance, differences, similarities, and more. This is my type of street photography. I walk the streets of Charleston, day and night capturing my subjects. I experimented with an on-camera flash and strobe lighting for my night photos. I try to provoke emotions of relatability and capture overlooked moments. I took inspiration from Matt Stuart, Dougie Wallace, Petter Funch, and Daniel Arnold. They all captured quick unseen moments, only noticed by the photographer. The people they photograph are of all ages and backgrounds, just someone or something that caught their attention. My goals as an artist are to make people look at a situation differently than they originally did and see it from a different angle. This piece helped me reach my goal by capturing images of situations occurring that most would ignore, interacting with people that some might miss, and seizing a moment when the opportunity is presented. The things I learned while creating this artwork are both personal and social. I learned I get nervous around crowds at night when using a flash. I’m afraid I will hurt someone’s vision or somebody will get mad at me, but I learned how to be confident and do it anyways I should not go into a situation thinking the worst will happen. Some things I learned socially are people love getting their pictures taken for no reason other than I have a camera. This piece is everything I imagined and more. I’m very proud of my work. I would like to continue my street photography work. I have found my love for it, and the specific aspects of it that interest me. I’m not stopping now. I will keep people watching with my camera. I wonder who I will find next.
