i feel like you are shooting very intuitively. allthough i find your general style very appealing, the downside is that your shots seem a little random and unmotivated. i think a more concious choice of the framing and trying to implement a little more story into your photos would greatly benefit your work
>>3064796
> a more concious choice of the framing
Fair.
>trying to implement a little more story
The hell does that even mean?
>>3064797
think he means to take photos that "fit" together. Btw this shit is great
>>3064797
for example if you look at
>>3064768
you see lots of people doing things, but there is no obvious further connection between their actions. dudes on the right look pretty happy while the people on the left look a lot more sad and detached from another. both cool themes but they dont fit together without more context.
if you compare that to
>>3064763
which i really like, you see the driver possibly very focused on the street, which is kind of interesting because we dont see that much of it. in this shot, the person on the left fits very nicely, because he also is very interested and nearly personificates the feelings of the viewer which is very nice. (also the gradient from left/past/black to right/future/white on him is very dramatic).
you probably did both shots rather randomly, but the bus shot just conveys so much more emotion for me.
>>3064799
I agree with you, as far as the second photo being more 'interesting' in some way than the first, but I don't see what it has to do with "implementing a little more story".
>i really like
>possibly very focused
>kind of interesting
>fits very nicely
>very interested
>nearly [personifies]
>very nice
>very dramatic
I know this is /p/, not /lit/, but you qualify everything you say. In the end, what you write is vague and doesn't tell me that much, but you've padded it out with a lot of filler words.
>>3064801
well as an artist, what you want is to invoke some emotional reaction, ideally in a planned direction. those where some feelings your photo gave me so it worked.
figuring out how to manipulate your viewers into doing so is really the hard part about art. people can come up with a more objective analysis like for example claiming that a brighter/sharper/more centered object draws more attention and thus plays a bigger role in the perception of the image, but in the end those are just simplifications of far more detailled processes everyone has to figure out for themselves.
if im trying to be more accurate with these two specific shots, i would say that the first one gets me to check all of the quite interesting faces of the people, but then, failing to deduce any more connection or deeper meaning between them and the rest of the shot, i stay with the impression that the photo somehow looked pleasing. but compare this to the bus shop where the views of the people and the bright light immediately force my eye into the right corner, then, unable to make out further details, lets me take a second and more deliberate look at the faces of the people to find information about their (now very interesting to me) destination. unable to read much from the face of the driver, i need to identify with the person behind him, who has this nice gradient from dark to light which i mentioned which really enforces the feelings i already had developed, also his face fits my impression perfectly.
compare the amount of emotion an attentive viewer can get out of your shots: the process may vary from person to person and maybe i overlook something incredibly interesting about the first shot, but the bus stop has so much more to offer to me.
>>3064809
>those where some feelings your photo gave me so it worked.
Oh, I should probably point out that I'm not the guy who took the pictures.
That's way better at getting your point across though, thanks.
>>3064809
i could go on and apply this to the rest of your shots. for example i also enjoyed >>3064781 or >>3064779
and to an extend,
>>3064780
while i dislike stuff like
>>3064776
why? imagine how the viewer attacks the last shot: there is a gigantic, fast moving, white vehicle in the foreground, but after checking it out, it offers nothing interesting to the eye. then, already a little turned off, you check the background for something interesting, the first thing being the group of people in the center because they are in focus. but they doing nothing. there is this sea horse thing but it also does nothing. at this point im already bored with the pic.
the window shot on the other hand is much more interesting: first thing to notice is obviously the man in white, the fact that hes looking down at something we cannot see and is also separated from us by those bars makes me a lot more curious about whats going on. i also enjoy how the boxes and window shutters fit the theme of the bars, because geometric harmony is as pleasing to me as drama is. also note that on top of those objects, your photo does not offer any more unnecessary stuff: a fact that is not that perfect in >>3064780.
the shady persons on the right, especially seen through the raindrops are again exciting, but the negative space to the left offers not that much contribution to this 'story' of the image.
>>3064815
He's right you know
Your composition is ok for the most part, but overall the photos are very, very boring.
>>3064759
Learn to resize and also, not a single one of these pictures is interesting.
>>3064759
>do you think these photos are any good?
No.
>should I continue or just stop
That depends entirely on you. Do you know why you're taking pictures?
>>3065051
It's OP btw, forgot to mention it
>>3064796
Exactly what I thought, I understood where you wanted to achieve with the use of such powerful BW but many of the scenes are quite boring and vague, some of them are nice.
Just search for particular subjects.
fuck i feel bad for op thinking his works are worthy and then getting roasted
I love most of them to be honest
>>3065589
OP's here
I don't mind it, in fact that's what will push me to improve and get better. Thank you!
By the way, I took some other shots based on your advices, what do you think?

This is pretty good, but there's too much white in my opinion. Maybe tone it down a little?
>>3064797
Means stop taking snapshits you fucking pleb
Looks like every wannbe street photographer on instagram
How long you been shooting OP?
yes continue
continue
You take well-framed and well spotted photos of a very exotic and interesting place but gimp them heavily with this high contrast crushed blacks black and white postprocessing, which is a shame.
If the extreme high contrast is obscuring details to the point that it is unclear - peoples heads blending Indo background etc.
I like the really abstract silhouette thing, but you need to be careful that the picture is readable.
Figure to ground is pretty great in this photo!
>>3069051
Totally agree with you
I'm in love for heaven's sake
