I travel a lot, and I like documenting people in their daily environment in a candid way. So when I saw the @portraitcontest themed Light and Shadows, I went through the sea of my photos from travels and found these two with interesting light and shadows. Believe me, there are so many more, but I’d like to use these two as an example to discuss the possibility of turning a street style photo into a portrait one.

Both of the photos here were shot when I was strolling the streets looking for food, so neither of them is a composed image of the subject. Like unplanned babies, they are kind of accidents, or pleasant surprise if that sounds better? ;) And I didn’t have enough time to set my old camera but to react immediately, so quality of the images is shit, not to say after cropping. They surely can’t be as good as the studio portraits shoot, and it’s different on many levels, but my main point here is to show you the difference between the first 2 (let’s say) street photos and the following 2 focusing more on the portraits. Do you think it works or not? What are your thoughts on these 2 set of photos and the general idea of the transformation? Tell me what you think in the comments! Until next time. =)

这两张照片都是在街头信步觅食时偶然看到后抓拍的，所以就跟计划外的娃一样，完全是意外，没有足够时间反应去设置我那破旧的老相机，导致原本的图片质量就差强人意，更别说裁小之后的肖像照了。这跟专业设置的人像照当然不可同日而语，不过我这里主要是想讨论下这种变街头照为人像照的可能性。

你觉得这样剪裁可行吗？更喜欢前面的街头照还是后面以人像为主体的？前后图片给你的感觉有什么区别？欢迎留言分享你的看法哦！下次见。
