This is a photo presentation I put together for my Photojournalism class.
Introduction to final assignment:
In this assignment I did street photography where I tried to document people in candid situations within public places such as streets, trains, buses and malls. I try to concentrate on a single human moment and catch a decisive or poignant moment. I try to capture people from different walks of life: storeowners, students, business people and the homeless. I hope that I can provide a record of street culture in Toronto. My inspiration was actually from Greg Schmigel, who is famous for taking amazing street photography with just his iphone. He says, "There's something special and unique about shooting street photography. It's real. It's true. It's slices of life as we see it... and many times, slices of life as the rest of us miss it." Just like him, I hope to take a quick candid look at everyday moments in the lives of the people and strangers that I encounter on the street or in public places.
My title for this slideshow is 'A Day in the Life of a Torontonian' or 'There's a Dance we All Have to do". I originally wanted to use black and white for all my photos, but in the end I thought if I have to show that life's like doing a dance, I had to show my pictures in colour. Because life is not in black and white, life is supposed to be colourful. So here's my slideshow and I hope you guys will like it :)
