Category: Street Photographer: Tumi Le "Poor man" Tumi does a fantastic job of capturing the raw emotion in this photograph, taken in Vietnam. You can see the man struggle, with his makeshift crutches asking for money in his hat. The composition here is interesting, and really focuses in on the man, but you can see in the background the people driving by and looking at him. The scene also brings in a lot of colorful elements, which help to direct to the man's struggle. Originally shared with the Photofocus Flickr community right … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Tumi Le

Photographer of the Day: Robertino Radovix
Category: Street Photographer: Robertino Radovix "Rimini, plazza Cavour" Reflections are a street photographer's best friend. They can turn something like a wet, overcast day into something magical. Robertino does exactly this, capturing a couple in the top half of the scene that is then reflected in the puddle below. It shows street life in a non-typical way, and that helps to give a bit of interest into an otherwise standard scene. Originally shared with the Photofocus Flickr community right here. You can be the Photofocus … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Robertino Radovix
Photographer of the Day: Brian Duffy
Category: Street Photographer: Brian Duffy "Hello!" This photograph is a timeless image from the streets of Manhattan. It captures great conversation and everyday life, but does so with quite a big scene behind the subjects. By including a lot of negative space in the photo, Brian is able to highlight the area surrounding the subjects, which helps to tell a story and give you a sense of place. Originally shared with the Photofocus Google+ community right here. You can be the Photofocus Photographer of the Day. Here's how. … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Brian Duffy
Photographer of the Day: dizbin
Category: Street Photographer: dizbin "low" In street photography, you see a lot of people's backs. But what makes dizbin's photograph intriguing is the sense of scale given to the man in the photograph. The light and reflections of light make for quite the interesting scene, despite the calm demeanor of the man walking. Originally shared with the Photofocus Flickr community right here. You can be the Photofocus Photographer of the Day. Here's how. … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: dizbin

Photographer of the Day: 陳 揮之
Category: Street Photographer: 陳 揮之 "In Nha Trang" The photographer does an amazing job here, capturing the everyday life of Nah Trang, Vietnam. The colors here bring life to the photograph, and really support the main subject well. There's a certain emotion to the scene here, made more prevalent with the woman's eyes pointing slightly down. A beautiful, colorful capture that certainly leaves me wondering what the rest of the scene is like! Originally shared with the Photofocus Flickr community right here. You can be the Photofocus … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: 陳 揮之
Photographer of the Day: Dan Schneider
Category: Street Photographer: Dan Schneider "From Light to Dark" Dan does an amazing job with this capture, highlighting the deep shadows that are occurring during an afternoon high sun. The black and white edit adds to the contrast and scene here, creating somewhat of a surreal moment. And if that weren't enough, he lets the leading lines in the brick showcase off his subject in the upper part of the photograph. Originally shared with the Photofocus Flickr community right here. You can be the Photofocus Photographer of the Day. … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Dan Schneider
Photographer of the Day: Ed Castaneda
Category: Street Photographer: Ed Castaneda New York is known for its large transit system, and Ed captures this scene perfectly. The lighting here is spot-on, helping to illuminate the bus driver just enough to make out what's happening inside. Street photography is meant to capture real life — and that's exactly what Ed strives to do in this photograph. Originally shared with the Photofocus Facebook community right here. You can be the Photofocus Photographer of the Day. Here's how. … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Ed Castaneda
Photographer of the Day: Robertino Radovix
Category: Street Photographer: Robertino Radovix "Yellowstone" National parks often provide a surreal perspective at the world, and by combining the scenery with a human element, you get a very unique photograph. Robertino is able to capture a girl running during what appears to be a sunset. The mist behind her creates a very dynamic and layered image, putting the girl and boy in the forefront with the scenery continuing to build behind. The color and light here is absolutely stunning, and just builds upon what is already a very … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Robertino Radovix

Photographer of the Day: monoauge
Category: Street Photographer: monauge "CARNIVAL, Cologne / Germany 2018" When I saw this photograph submitted, I initially chuckled at the subject here. It's not everyday you see a man wearing a green dinosaur outfit out on the street! But this really is a great capture, taken at a festival in Germany. It's carefully composed — the subject is placed upon a fairly neutral street background, making him shine in his colorful costume. It's just not something you see everyday, and it makes you take a second glance. Originally shared with … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: monoauge
Photographer of the Day: Isengardt
Category: Street Photographer: Isengardt "In And Out" The motion that the photographer is able to capture here is perfect. While it's a scene you'll stumble upon in every major city, being able to isolate two subjects and capture them with some motion is impressive. It requires patience and, with the other aspects crystal sharp, a steady hand. Isengardt does a great job here of capturing everyday life in the city. Originally shared with the Photofocus Flickr community right here. You can be the Photofocus Photographer of the Day. … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Isengardt
Photographer of the Day: superUbO
Category: Street Photographer: superUbO I absolutely love this photograph by superUbO. Captured in Istanbul, the fun and excitement of running through the birds is captured on the street. It just shows so much emotion and happiness! The higher contrast and clarity here make the woman crystal clear with the birds flying around her. It's definitely an impressive composition, but even a more impressive capture. Originally shared with the Photofocus Flickr community right here. You can be the Photofocus Photographer of the Day. Here's … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: superUbO
Photographer of the Day: Paul Francis
Category: Street Photographer: Paul Francis Paul's photograph of a man walking in what appears to be an alley is somewhat mysterious — you can't really tell who the man is, what he's doing or anything else about him. It's a minimalist street scene, and one that leaves you wondering. The composition here is interesting, as the elements fade to black on the sides, and the rain-covered alley leads you up to the man. It breaks the rule of thirds, but does so in a very effective way. Originally shared with the Photofocus Flickr community … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Paul Francis
Photographer of the Day: Dan Schneider
Category: Street Photographer: Dan Schneider "stairs" Dan's black and white capture of a person walking up stairs plays to some of my favorite qualities of a photograph. First of all, this is minimalism at its finest. There's a very simple and clean look to the photograph. Your eye is immediately drawn to the subject, despite the other aspects of the photograph. Secondly, the architectural elements of this photograph are sharp and clean, and help to frame the subject very well. The stairs are reflected in the architectural aspects of both … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Dan Schneider
Photographer of the Day: monoauge
Category: Street Photographer: monoauge "FAMILY + CAR, Jaipur / India 2016" monoauge's photograph of a family traveling by car in India struck me. There are quite a few things that I like about this photograph, but specifically, the packed car speaks to me, with every person inside looking at what's beyond on the street. It's an interesting take on what I can only assume is a family that's wondering what their next move is, and they're experiencing the excited uncertainty of what's next. What I also love is the post-processing done on … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: monoauge
Photographer of the Day: dizbin
Category: Street Photograph: dizbin "pop will eat itself" While last week I showcased a great black and white, minimalist street photograph, this week couldn't be any different. dizbin crates one of the most colorful street photographs I've seen, and does a great job with it. Everything in terms of subject matter is generic in this photograph. The word "SIGN" in the background gives no indication of where it was taken. The two men walking towards the edge of the frame show no emotion. While the subject matter is generic, the capture is … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: dizbin
Photographer of the Day: Jordi Corbilla
Category: Street Photograph: Jordi Corbilla "Mind the yellow line." I'm always intrigued with subway photography, and Jordi's photograph is a great capture of everyday subway life. In She captures people waiting for their train behind the yellow safety line by going ahead of the line herself. Doing so made for a great, wide capture that not only shows people waiting, but the train. If you look closely, you'll see those people reflecting in the train windows as well, which connects the two subjects together in a unique … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Jordi Corbilla
Photographer of the Day: Robert J. Cooney
Category: Street Photograph: Robert J. Cooney I'm a huge fan of long exposures. And Robert's capture here is certainly unique. In addition to the bus whizzing by on the street, you'll see a massive amount of steam coming from the street as well. Having two objects in motion — along with some static people on the sidewalk — make for somewhat of a surreal image. It's a great night scene, and one that captures the essence of the city to perfection. Originally shared with the Photofocus Google+ community right here. You can be the … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Robert J. Cooney
Photographer of the Day: Jens
Category: Street Photograph: Jens "New York #16" Jens does a great job of capturing the day-to-day life on the streets of Manhattan, highlighting cooks during what seems to be a break from work. The thing I love about street photography is the stories that come to mind when viewing the photographs, and this shot by Jens does exactly that, making you wonder what the cooks are talking about, and what the one is looking at on his phone. The subtle film look to the photograph gives it a timeless vibe that won't soon be forgotten Originally … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Jens
Photographer of the Day: Neil Edwin Sinadjan
Category: Street Photography Photograph: "Hold on to hope" by Neil Edwin Sinadjan In photography, we often label photos by their genre and style. The beauty of the powerful image "Hold on to hope" by Neil Edwin Sinadjan is that it transcends these labels. This scene is from the Traslación of the Black Nazarene, a procession through the streets of the city Quiapo, in the Philipines, that attracts millions of devotees. The Black Nazarene is a carving made by an unknown Mexican artist in the 16th century, and transported to the Philippines. … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Neil Edwin Sinadjan

Photographer of the Day: Johann Walter Bantz
Category: Street Photography Photograph: "try an approach I" by Johann Walter Bantz Abstract photos go against many of the "rules" of photography, giving the artist the freedom to capture images of anything the grabs their eye and expresses their creativity. Used in street photography, abstractions can create some interesting and imaginative imagery as we see here in "try an approach I" by Johann Walter Bantz. At first glance this appears as an abstract watercolor painting. But as you look longer, the scene of a foggy water-covered … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Johann Walter Bantz
Photographer of the Day: Dawna Moore
Category: Street Photography Photograph: "GMC Christmas" by Dawna Moore If you would like to experience a beautiful vision of a vintage holiday, look no further than this image, "GMC Christmas" by Dawna Moore. Part holiday cheer, part nostalgia, it's a warmly lit scene featuring Christmas decorations along with a nice slice of Americana. Beyond these elements, the composition and lighting are excellent, from the technical choices with aperture to create the starbursts on the Christmas lights, to the balance of complimentary colors with … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Dawna Moore

Photographer of the Day: Mark Meyer zur Heide
Category: Street Photography Photograph: "Oslo No. 1" by Mark Meyer zur Heide What is particularly compelling about this image, "Oslo No. 1" by Mark Meyer zur Heide, is it let's you imagine nearly endless stories for the scene, what this place is, and who the person is passing through it. The anonymous silhouette could be anyone, on their way to or from anything, passing through a seemingly futuristic place, where the light and patterns are almost hypnotic. The strong lines, reflections, and color gradients capture your eye, and lead you … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Mark Meyer zur Heide
Photographer of the Day: Bert de Bruin
Category: Street Photography Photograph: "Moto" by Bert de Bruin Although I don't ride myself, there are few times where I won't stop and admire a beautiful bike like the one featured in "Moto" by Bert de Bruin. There is just something about the gleaming chrome and sleek lines that grabs both your attention and imagination. The challenge is in capturing that same feeling in a photo, which was done very well here. If you look past the metal and machinery, there is a subtle geometry at work, look at how often the triangle shape appears … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Bert de Bruin

Category: Street Photography Photograph: "I’m sure there are many stories behind this old bike!" by Jim Sollows It is often easier to say that you like an image versus trying to explain why you like it. For me it usually comes down to a few simple tests. Does it make me feel something? Does it make me imagine the story of the scene? Jim Sollows' photo, "I’m sure there are many stories behind this old bike!" does both, and his title captures perfectly what we are all probably thinking when taking in this photo. His composition pulls you … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Jim Sollows
