Street performers in Dublin. Shot on a canon QL17, can't remember the film. Printed on ilford warmtone, dev in warmtone and selenium. Probably a bit too much selenium.

I love the contrast between the stationary onlookers and the movement of the street performer, it really concentrates the attention on the central action. A good composition Fran.

Thanks Derek.


The focus for me is the activity in the background, contrasted with the action in the foreground. I'm not good at "street" stuff, I find it very hard taking photos in this environment, sometimes of people and without their express permission. I got tackled recently on a trip (abroad, nothing physical, just hoards of agreesive angry abuse) by 2 scumbag drunks which confirmed my opinion too!!


Anyway, many thanks for your comment, its much appreciated.

I feel the same way, Fran, and find it difficult to settle into street photography. When I try it, I prefer situations like you have caught here, where people are either distracted by the action, or simply expect photographers. I like the way you have to take a second look at your print to work out which way up the performer is. You have captured the scene well.

If you are photographing a "street act" then inevitably there will be spectators in the background and both parties( the performers and the public) must expect to have their pictures taken. I'd be relaxed about this in a way I wouldn't be if it was one or several kids on a "ride" in a park or a courting couple that I was shooting.


You haven't "hunted down" anyone in this scene which is what the usual aggro is about.
