I have a great appreciation for street photography. It is spontaneous, although not always, it is also very personal, and real. It is not posed or thought out, especially when compared to studio shots. On the other hand, I have this dilemma of invading people personal spaces, which is amplified if you shoot wit a wide angle lens. The wide angle lens creates depth, it brings you close to the scene, and lets the viewer "be there" with the photographer. On the other hand, I always feel like I a steeling someones privacy. I think this is why I love portraiture photography. It is like street photography but since the model knows that he or she will be photographed, there usually is natural resistance against being photographed, unless we are talking professional models. And the hardest part of portrait photography is to evoke natural emotions through building a connection between the photographer and the model. It is true that portrait photographers are skilled psychologists, who can get through all masks and barriers straight to the core of a person they photograph. This is what can be bypassed in street photography, through the element of surprise. Anyways, here is a shot that I took near Yakitori Alley in Yurakucho, during a photowalk with a client.
