#photolessonsbyessdras Even when faced with a complicated scene to photograph, you still have to find a way to compose it in such a manner that each element has its own space within the frame.

These three were all taken in Cuba at different times, in different places, but what they have in common is that in each of these frames, there are as many compositional elements occupying their own space as possible.

* Color or B&W?

My friend and best Cuban guide Karina Concepcion recently said to me she misses seeing my Cuba photos. So, this for you Karina 😊 ...

#photolessonsbyessdras Do not walk away from a situation you are photographing until you've exhausted the possibilities.

My students and I watched this lady and her son in Central Park for quite a while. We photographed many interactions but these were the two I liked the most. Which one do you prefer? Color or B&W?

Even when presented with a striking subject to photograph, you still need to make it your own. Otherwise, you’d simply be repeating what everyone else can see with the naked eye.

Note: These images were made during a visit to the #artechouse #NY at the Life of a Neuron exhibit during a recent EMS Photo Adventures three-day workshop. Next NY was workshop will be in Oct. .

* To find light in darkness.
* To find patterns of colors and of shapes in the bedlam of the quotidian.

On our last day of our 3-day “NYC Street Photography & the Art of Seeing,” which by the way was a resounding success according to the participants. We’d scheduled a visit to the iconic #brooklynbridge There, I gave them the #assignment to find a new angle, a new perspective, or to find interesting moments. Something that made it their own take as they photograph this slice of Americana.
.
Lo and behold, we spotted a crew of safety-clad maintenance workers coming down from the top of the bridge while negotiating the fear-inducing heights of the suspension cables. .
.
It was a sight to be seen, and an amazing thing to photograph!! .
.
Bonus, we were all able to fulfill the assignment… of course, afterwards I told my peeps I had arranged for the workers to be there at the exact time we were there. 😉😬🤣.
.
Thank you to my brilliant, gorgeous and hottie wife @sarasuarezv22 for helping me w this one 🙏🏻😍🙏🏻

I will be leading another one in Oct. For info DM me or go to emsphotoadventures dot com .

When it comes to #streetphotography it's all about being Alert, Aware,and being able to Anticipate and to React.

Notice these two images require two different reacting tempos. The woman on the phone at the bus stop provided me with plenty of time to react and to compose. However, the person glancing up, thus creating a similar shape with her body language to that of the graffiti, demanded a split-second reaction time.

#photolessons When doing a #portrait look around and try to find new angles, new perspectives, or new points of view.

Sarah was a waitress at one of our many lunch stops during our "Unique Ireland" photo workshop. As soon as she came to our table, I knew she would be a great portrait subject. I talked to her and explained who I was, what we were doing, and she agreed to be photographed, which we did in several settings. We photographed her under a light and then by a window, then on my way out I noticed this pane of corrugated glass on the door and came back in and... voila, magic!

#photolessons When thinking of storytelling and photography, think of providing the viewer a feel for the place. This means you’d make some scene setters like the big cross, and then a couple more of micro stories. I. e. the kids, and the deer.

A good formula for #streetphotography is to find an interesting background and wait for the right subject(s) to walk into your frame.
