MATT STUART
is a street photographer born in London. He has been shooting on the streets from twenty years.
Camera he uses: Leica MP with a 35mm f2 Leica Summicron lens
He uses at least 3 rolls of film a day. He never leaves the house without a camera.
He uses digital for commercial work.
The photos below are photographs that aren't manipulated in any way. He spends a lot of time walking the street capturing moments.
His photographic influences are Garry Winogrand, Joel Meyerowitz, Lee Friedlander, Robert Frank, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Leonard Freed and Tony Ray-Jones.
He didn't learn photography at collage. He was an assistant for Marcus Lyon, for 3 years.
4 of his coloured photographs.
So when I go out and take photographs in Otara I could take photos of people doing their own thing.
Keep in mind:
What to have and not have in the frame.
Where you position the people
ANGLES
Composition
Light
and the works.
