I'm very new to going out and angling for candid street shots, so brutal criticism of any garbage I post would be welcome. I was torn whether to put this up in the landscape thread or here.

That's straight out of camera, and I wouldn't have posted it if I didn't like it. I definitely agree there's not a lot of emotion in it, but I like it for the reason Nonzero does, the symmetry and framing, muted colour, and I love how reds come out on Portra.

Usually those are like the finishing touches to a strong or good subject, like makeup. I do agree that the components you mentioned are nice but that's basically it - they don't really work together to make a good photo. Saying the symmetry or muted colors are good is different from saying the photo is good. That said, sometimes that is why such photos work better in a series.

Thanks for the feedback, I wish I was still in Japan to explore the Keiyo line more as the idea of a series never came into my head. Much appreciated.

Landscape thread my dude. Street tells a human story.

Hey, street photography is about people, these last few belong in landscapes instead.

These last two are so good. Love the expressions through the van.

Those are fantastic. Did you go out looking to take shots or take them opportunistically?

I mean, I'm always thinking about taking photos, this was on holiday in Japan. But yeah, it's all the opportunity of the moment.

Love this photo! I would love it more if you hadn’t submitted it against me in the photo contest 😭

The bare feet are what make this photo so interesting to me (not in a Tarantino-esque way). Why is she barefoot in a parking lot? I’m here in Texas where that would result in instant death from burns. It makes the photo timeless in a way

(Edit: oh it’s because there is a surfboard in her van)

Yeah, this is right next to the beach, surfers often live van life in cans just like that one, they never wear shoes.
