Touching Street Encounters

6608769669887180654

The key to good street photography is a very keen eye for those special moments that happen all the time around us. Henri Cartier-Bresson had it, Robert Doisneau had it and more recently Matt Stuart has it. The work of these photographers make us smile and giggle at touching moments in the ordinary streets of Europe. And now we can add China to this list. Self thought photographer Tao Liu Has took up the camera while working as a water meter reader.

His work as a water meter reader, as wonderful as it  is to say, the job really was dull and boring. He made use of his daily strolls trough the streets of Hefei in the Anhui Province. And in-between the reading of water meters he photographed the streets. In a fun and joyful manner. He really has a keen eye for those brief moments, that when we realize what we have witnessed it has already gone. Luckily there is Tao Lui Has. Check out his profile on Flickr to find more wonders of the streets of Hefei.

The Little Prince by Matej Peljhan

1

In this series, called The Little Prince, Slovenian photographer Matej Peljhan lets a 12-year-old boy with muscular dystrophy play again. He lets him do things he wouldn’t be able to do in real life because of his muscle disorder. The boy, Luke, is walking, skating, sporting and even breakdancing. The photographer has made this kid a kid again through this wonderful series.

I’ve seen and even used this style of creating a scene by laying the person, or in my case a baby, down on the floor. It opens up all kinds of possibilities. On PforPHOTO we have seen this technique before in the series Honkey Kong.
