I took this mother-daughter photo while walking on Walnut Street. I love how vibrant their pink outfits stand out against the cool neutrals of the street and the sidewalk.The little girl's polkadot pants contrast nicely with the lines and textures on the road and sidewalk. The light bathes over them quite beautifully, and the way it illuminates their clasped hands is a perfect representation of their relationship. I cropped the photograph to eliminate any competing red-based colors and to center the focus on them. I also adjusted the brightness, saturation, vibrancy, and color slightly to make their pink outfits pop more.
The sincerest form of flattery...:The photographer I was trying to emulate is street photographer Nils Jorgensen, whose work you can find on Flickr at: www.flickr.com/photos/nilsjorgensen/sets/72157594340128552/
I was specifically interested in his set titled "We two form a multitude" and his unique way of capturing relationships between people, while also incorporating vibrant color. I think that this photograph speaks to the love that is present in many of his photographs and uses the same vibrancy of color .
Critique: Although I like that I captured them from behind and therefore without their knowledge, which is very similar to much of Jorgensen's work, it would have been nice to see their faces. Also, I feel like it could have been a more impactful photo if my angle had been slightly lower.
Conclusion: I *really* like this photo. And although I had many others that would have worked well with Jorgensen's style, I was really drawn to this one. Their matching outfits and the natural and intimate gesture of their clasped hands is very genuine.
