Good day guys!
I took the image you see above my daily walk through Shanghai a couple of weeks ago. It shows a man smoking a cicarette and doing something on his phone.
I think the backround and the 2 trees around him give the image a more "special" look so I've decided to "place" him at this spot. I mean, I did not tell him where to sit - But I walked around until I found the right composition for the picture.
The more I learn about Street Photography the more I realize how important it is to combine the subject (Guy) and the backround. It's important to have the motive you want in your mind, before you capture the picture.
That bein said - Of course I fail badly most of the time getting the image which I have in my mind. It takes patience and you need to learn that a good picture takes time and effort.
Wishing you all a great day!
Best,
Chris
