Today I went to the SPi Street Photography award ceremony, this included a collection of work by the 2017 final winner Merel Schoneveld and the works of twenty other finalists.

I was drawn to this image due to the way that the shaddows stretches round the corner of the collum. This creates the illusion that the head is a different size or that the shadow is not a true representation of this person. This made me think of diLorcia’s work in which he discusses not…

Again this man is looking directly at the camera making this scene…

  This is an image from my shoot in Soho. This man actually stopped and asked me to delete this image, but after showing him he actually changed his mind. He’d already noticed the camera, so is making eye contact making this image quite powerful. Because your eyes are drawn to his the shape that his…
