Street Assignments

For this assignment, we wanted to see a street or documentary photograph that captured life onpublic transport—whether it's buses, trains, trams, or even ferries...? From the daily grind of commuting to quiet moments lost in thought, public transport creates so many opportunities for interesting and compelling street photos.

For this assignment, we wanted to see a street or documentary photograph that captures some form of *urban critter*. Think of the animals we often encounter in the city—like pigeons, foxes, cats, dogs, squirrels or maybe even herons or horses?

We wanted to see people thinking about how to use artifical light to create a compelling night time street photograph. So many incredible shots to look through this month, take your time viewing the gallery and please enjoy it on a desktop if possible.

We wanted to see how golden and blue hour lighting can impact the composition of your street photographs and how these times of day can alter the mood of the image.

We wanted to see how natural frames like windows, doorways, arches, or even shadows could create a “frame within a frame.” The goal was to lead the viewer’s eye directly to the subject while simultaneously creating depth and utilizing layers.

 

In September, we wanted to see a street or documentary photograph utilising some form of reflection to create depth, layer and intrigue , either using a reflective surface like a window or water..

We wanted to see a visually compelling street photograph that showcases the power of the colour red.
We wanted to see how the Framelines Community approached  taking a street photograph incorporating WEATHER , be it good or bad!

We wanted to see how you approached FILLING THE FRAME

Thinking about how to compose a busy street photograph, an image where the viewer's eye travels across the frame, taking time to enjoy all the little details. Thinking about the flow of people in the image, keeping it visually stimulating but not too busy.

This month we wanted to see the community's best Abstract street photographs. Check out the full gallery here.
We wanted to see wider scenes, showing people interacting and existing within their space, it could be in both urban or suburban scenes. Using people to punctuate a wider frame, and creating an image that balances both subject and background.
We wanted to see the street photographs that best represent your work as a street photographer! We really wanted to get a sense of everyone's take on street photography and how where you are in the world influences your style of shooting.
