Today’s Bacon | Fabuchan
by Joe
I like street photography because I find fascinating how many expressions, feelings and emotions human beings can ‘create’ and how many ways we have to convey them. In my recent works, and in this picture, I am trying to capture the ways we can make an emotional impact on the world around them with something else other than our faces… with our mere presence, with our gestures, positions, movements, shadows, silhouettes…
This photo was taken in Trafalgar Square, London.
I wanted to get this low angle feel so I went down just a few steps on one of the square staircases so to have the camera (with my 50mm f1.4) almost level with the ground.The main message I wish to convey through this photo is the juxtaposition of two status of the human existance: who stays still, observes, waits, maybe unable to move… and who, even struggling, tries to move on.
Stunning black and whites. What I admire most about Fabuchan’s style of photography is that it’s very natural, lots of contrast, and he’s not afraid to point the camera at someone. Even I have a hard time doing that in fear of offending or getting a stink eye.
Here are some specs on the image:
Exposure: 1/5000 sec
Aperture: f/1.4
ISO: 200
Because Fabuchan has so many great photos, I’ve decided to insert a slideshow showing some of his other works:
