Brad's stream is One of the Best Visions of L.A. I've ever seen so far...
bradford steals frames from the greatest movies on earth and posts them on flickr. his camera doesn't shoot stills, it shoots at sixty frames per second but he only gives us a glimpse of the masterpiece. we could only be so lucky to see them in their entirety!
master of a street portrait! love all these faces, stories behind them, tones and bokeh of course! if i'll ever buy 85mm 1.4 lens that's gonna be partly his fault:) great eye! keep it goin' mate!
who needs to watch TV,when Bradford is on the streets... get a glass of good red wine ,have a seat,relax...and start the L.A. stories
*bradford* is the man who makes me fall in love with cinematic style in photography and he's the one that inspired me to do my "16:9" street photography set. Thanks for being such a supportive person and for being such an inspiration for me.
Sometimes (i.e. very often) Bradford makes me feel as I wanted to be right where he's taking the shot. They're way too beautiful to be only 'seen' and not 'lived,' too. Then again, by doing so I would see my limitations, not to mention I wouldn't see what he does see... Ok, the above rant is basically a combination of … Read more
Sometimes (i.e. very often) Bradford makes me feel as I wanted to be right where he's taking the shot. They're way too beautiful to be only 'seen' and not 'lived,' too. Then again, by doing so I would see my limitations, not to mention I wouldn't see what he does see... Ok, the above rant is basically a combination of envy and gratitude. Thanks for your art man; thanks for such excellent shots. Thanks for sharing them with us. Do NOT stop.
Read lessBradford's street photography honestly makes me now look at people in the street in a different way and that's a great sign, isn't it? :) - Hanna
Simple;The best street and candid photographer on flickr.
A pure poesy. A great eye to capture these wonderful scenes of life. His pictures are shown in its best instant and they make a movie in our head! When will you make a book about the streets of L.A signed bradford?
This is one talented guy. Jae has a great eye for the perfect moment and has amazing feel for getting great portraits.
Bradford's LA Stories are an inspiration to those of us looking to try and capture a moment of everyday life by means of Street Photography. His technique, style and cinematic approach is often the benchmark by which others are measured. An outstanding photostream.
If I ever want to make a movie, I'll beg *bradford* to be the Director of Photography!
*bradford* captures "everyday" expressions in such a way that brings to light how beautiful, vulnerable, proud and damaged everyone, without exception, is.
He's an movielicious genius !
Bradford`s photos are so alive! I think one can even smell the breath of streets where these great shots taken. My hat is off to you Brad!
As i pass through bradford's stream it feels like i'm watching a box set of classic movies.Each frame is a frozen scene.What strikes me most is his use of colour and the excellent composition of each shot.A street master who's work i love to see popping up in my contacts.Keep it up!
"Beautiful album! Very creative and love your image.... True artist!"
ah! someone beat me to the first testimonial. Bradford is a true inspiration to me, I love his vignettes and slices of street life. Composition, toning, framing... here is a true master who has taken his lens across the globe and shown us the true beauty of the candid.
Bradford has an outstanding eye for composition and his photostream is one of my favorites. At times it feels like I'm not just looking at mere photos, but at stills from a movie with spectacular photography. This is due to the nature of his work which enables you to think about a story behind almost every photo. I can… Read more
