Markus Hartel
Black and White street photography – New York
The work of Markus Hartel really appeals to me and I think he has been a useful street photographer to research as his work appears to be more modern than a lot of the photographers have previously researched. Here i have picked out a handful of images from Hartel's website. I've chosen the ones which I find most interesting, and relate best to the approach and style I've had in my own street photography project.
What I like most about the work of this photographer is the variety of his images. I think its really important to capture images not only on the busy streets, but also on the subway like this photographer has done, if you are wanting to truly portray New York in your street photography. After looking at the vast range of images this artist has within his street photography album, it has lead me to think that i should have or could have captured more variety in my own shoots. if i had longer on this project i would definitely like to experiment with capturing street photographs from within public transport.
My favourite image is the last image i have displayed here as i think the timing of the situation has been perfect. the photographer has managed to capture the difference between young and old. It's such a dramatic picture and really does make you reflect upon life.
