Street Photography:
Posters! Posters!! Posters!!!
"Everyone in the business world knows the importance of
posters and ads in advertising for specific products.
Posters are an integral part of advertising. An eye-catching, attractive poster
that conveys a professional, compelling message about a product, service
or event will invariably hold the user's attention."**
That is until a Street Photographer comes along....
Posters, Billboards, Large Display Panels, etc. they're all around us!
Every street corner, building and display window in this ad-mad world of ours is adorned with these
wonderfully enticing, heavily photoshopped and grossly misleading sheets of prevarication.
Malls, museums, art galleries, subway, bus stations, airports, public toilets....
great places for (non pervy) Street Photographers to hang out on a slow day.
Now add posters into the mix and "BAM!" we have a great photo op on our hands!
If you're starting out in Street Photography, I'd say look no further.
Posters is the way to go.
All it requires is a little imagination, and a bit of luck.
Okay, so 'Poster Street' shots are terribly cliched and most DA Street groups won't readily
accept them in their galleries - so what? It's good practice and best of all, it works!
I've taken a few Poster Street shots myself and the response so far has been very positive.
Check out these excellent examples of how a mere 'Poster' shot, when done right,
can tell a completely different story from what's really on display:
Tsunami by Lothringen
Fly fly away by straightfromcamera
The Levitation Girls by Gonzale
