Day 57 :A desiquilibrium day

June 19, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I just finish to read “Face to face” by Rick Sammon’s. In my opinion , it’s an amazing book for all photographers who like to photograph people and make better picture out of it. Very inspiring. I’ve decided (never too late !)to pay even more attention to the composition in my pictures starting with my daily mobile picture. This work is just starting and there will be more to come. Here is the thinking I had today before I took the daily shot.

When I arrived on the platform to wait for my train, I saw this girl who was sitting in the middle of the platform to read her book. I thought that it would made a nice picture, as it was funny to see how she was completely unaware of the world around her.

My first thought for this shot was to try to compose something with the lines on the floor. First to make something original and dynamic, and secondly to try to split the picture in different areas. I decided to put her head in the white line and to tilt the mobile so the line will lead our eyes to her. Here is my first shot :

Then , the train was about to arrive so I’ve started to want to oppose the girl who was sitting with some other people who were walking in a hurry around her, hopping secretly that she will not get away as well. It gave these two shots:

I wasn’t happy with those two and I realize that it would be nice to catch people out the train while the girl was still sitting as these people would be completely on the other side of the middle line. I must say I was pretty lucky as the guy that get out the train first was a roller skater who was wearing red clothes. It was exactly the type of shot I had in my mind. I could create the opposition of two different worlds with the line, one dynamic and colorful and one quiet and dull. And that makes the picture of the day ! Hope you’ll enjoy it as much as the comments !

That’s all made with plastic bags strips !  Though it might not be the best way to recycle those, it produces a nice colorful effect.

This is paint from Benjamin Vautier says “I love to love”. Ben (as he liked to be called) is a french artist I like very much. He’s well known for his intriguing white texts on black boards. He is quite famous in France. You can find more info about him here and more picture here.
And this gives me a good introduction to the picture of the day. I must say, I’m quite impressed with quality of the nokia 5800 camera, especially the sharpness of the rain drops. Enjoy !

This is the first daily picture I took with the Nokia 5800. I must say I’m very pleased with the quality of this new device. It still might not be as good as the iphone ;) … I hope you’ll enjoy it !
